TX MARTIAL LAW TAxEs.


The following correspondence between
the Comptroller and the Attorney General,
in regard to rcfauding taxes collected in
Limestone and Walker counties during the
enforcement Of martial law, win show that
the act authorizing the issuing Of certi6-
Gates Of indebtedness ir favor Of parties
having paid these taxes, is considered un-
constitutional. The Comptroller win re-
fuse to issue the certificates:
CoNPTRoLIER's Oeflcr.
AUsrR, September 90. 1873.
Hen Wm. Alexander. Attorney General:
The special act of the Thirteenth Ieris-
lature, chapter CCXXXIII, page 651, pro-
vidcs that certificates Of Indebtedness shall
be issued 20 certain citizens of Limestone
and Walker counties, and that certificates
so Issued shall be receivable in payment Of
State taxes, and may be transferred by en-
dorsement.n II this act is to be construed
as permitting these certificates to be reeeiv-
able for taxes in other than Limestone and
Walker counties, is not the act in violation
of section VI, of article 10, of the general
provisions of the Constitution. Can these
certificates, when issued, be used for the
payment of taxes in any other counties than
Limestone and Walker! Very respectfully,
A. BLEDsoE, Comptroller.

A colored woman died very suddenly in town
a few days ago. declaring to the last that her
husband had poisoned her but as no examina-
ton was made subsequently none can tell how
correct il was. Her husband is a notorious char
acter.
The other week the Snow Hill Base Ball club
passed on our road to Salisbury to play with the
club OF the latter plscs matcn game; and the
presumption is predicated of the noise they
made as they passed our town that each man
was inspired with the conviction that Snow Hill
would triumph. In the evening on their return
all was silence, and each man hung his head
save few that imblbed too freely, and our con-
viction was, they had been badly beaten. And
such proved only too true.
Two blind minstrels gave in our town on We'd
nesday evening q concert Of vocal and instrument
tai music, which proved to be one of the most
entertaining musical concerts yet giveh in town
this season.
On last Sabbath week ago while our colored
people were engaged in their Quarterly" SER

ing the dull times last Spring

NEW CASTLE, Sept. %.
Mrs Mary Cooper, who has been travelling in
Europe for the past two years, returned home
yesterday and met with hearty welcome from
her many friends. We are glad to say that she
has entirely recovered her sight, which was in
jured and to some extent lost, during the first
part of her stay abroad.
The suspension of McLear & Son, Of Whining
ton, was not known in New Castle until this
morning, owing probably to the fact that the
papers did not publish their suspension until the
Third Edition, which was not received here. 1t
caused quite noticeable ruttle amongst our
citizens.
The schooner 0liCe from Bangor, Mane ar
rived here on Saturday with consignment Of
nine thousand bundles Of laths to Mr. Dobbins,
the contractor for the two hundred and hfty new
houses for Morris, Tasker IL Co.
The juvenile portion Of our community were
thrown in tutter of excitement, yesterday, by
the appearance in town of riding machine. pop
ularly known as flying horse" The affair
created considerable interest generally, and many
persons visited the battery to see the sight.
We have before us the first issue, for the
present term, OF Wa and Wisdom, a magazine
published weekly by the students Of School De-
partment No. !, which contains some very read
able matter, and among other things ballad by
Miss Mary Vandever entitled Carrie Bell" a
production. il We may be allowed to judge, Of
decided merit.
Eray EreniHgs correspondent wants to be in
structed in postal laws. We would inform him
that the use OF postal cards in the case which he
audes is not devsting from their original design,
as the instructions in respect to them state that
they may be used for orders, invitations, notices,
receipts, acknowledgements, &c, and other re-
quirementa Of business and social life, provided
DO obscene or abusive language be used, and at
no one is permitted to read them, except the
writer and receiver, we DO not exactly perceive
what harm they would do in the cases to which
