A CORES rosDESr yesterday morning
desired to know why the recently pub
lished financial exhibit contained no
item setting forth the commissions that
were paid during the::year to Collectors
and Assessors. In answer it may be
said that the sum paid to assessors ia
duly set forth in the statement, and the
reason vhy the collectors commissions
are not also specified among the ex-
peuditures is simply because. owing to
his protracted illness. the collector Of
water rents and other assessments has
not had an opportunity OF effecting q
settlement with the several committees
appointed to audit his accounts. 1t ia
all right.

TIEE STATE GRANGE.
Second Days SesxfOa-HarmOniO
and Interesting Proceedings-Ral
eigh Selected as the Place for the
next Annual Meeting.

The State Grange reass> mbied in
Tucker Hall yesterday morning at 9
o'clock, and worked laboriously
throughout the day, taking short re-
cesses for dinner and supper.
The Grange sitting with closed
doors, we can only give so much of
the proceedings as may be of inter-
est to the general public.
The proceedings were Of q most har-
monious character and many subjects
were considered that are of much i'm
portance to the farming interests of
the State
A resolution was adopted to the eff
feet that the Executive Committee of
the State Grange be and are hereby
authorized to negotiate for the direct
shipment of cotton to Europe from
some point i'll North Carolina.
Mr.. l.. A. Thompson, of Minnesota,
Lecturer of the National Grange, has
been in attendance upon the sessions
of the Grange, and a vote of thanks
was yesterday rendered him for the
assistance he had rendered by this at
tendance. In reply, Mr.. Thompson
paid high tribute to North Carolina.
He visited our State Fair last fall, and
what he then saw of her products and
her people justified him in saying that
North Carolina should rank among the
first States in the nation. He paid a
merited compliment to the body OF
Changers now III session here.
Resolutions were adopted establish
ing as the organ of the Order in the
State the State Agricultural Journal,
of this city.
Raleigh was selected as the place for
the next annual meeting, to be held
in February, 1875. A vote of thanks
was rendered to the Raleigh Grange, to
the citizens of Raleigh, the hotels,
railroads, and to all others who have
contributed to the comfort and conve-
nience of the members of the State
Grange at this session.
The Grange will meet again this
morning at 9 o'clock. but it is under.
stood that the business of the meeting
has been completed.

University has and what debts j,
owes, the condition of the build
ings at Chapel Hill, &C., &c. 1t
IS sufficient to say just now that the
condition Of affairs does not seem hope
less, though it will be impossible to
open the exercises at the Institution at
the usual time next summer. There
was gre at unanimity in opinion among
the Trustees indicated in the course Of
conservation, in regard to the plan of
reorganization. 1t is very generally
desired that the Institution shall be
reorganized upon such a basis as will
render it truly University and not
mercy a college.
The argument in the case of the ap-
plication of the special tax bond hold
srs, before Judge Watts, for 1aanda-
mus to compel the Auditor to collect
the tax IS will ne head tomorrow. Mr..
Budd, from Philadelphia, appears for
the applicant, with r. c. Badger. I
presume that Hon. Revedy John son
does not care to make an argument be-
fore "Greesy SAM" as he has not yet
put in AZ appearance, although con-
cerned in the case Indeed il would
be rare sight to see Reverdy John
son arguing a case before Judge
Watts. But is Watts any worse than
Bond?
I learn that the good people of Will
mington have treat in store for them
An opportunity to crafty their in
tellectaal tastes and do an act of char
ity at the same time. Everybody has
heard of the Orphan Asylum at Ok
ford, under tae charge of that good
man, Mr.. Mills. The institution is SUP
ported entirely by voluntary contribu-
tions of money and supplies from those
benevolent people to whom appeals
for the fatherlsss cannot be made in
7ain. Unfortunately for the poor or
phans, the number of people to whom
such appeals c,nnot be made in vain
is quite small, and other means than
such appeals have to be devised to
secure such things as may be nesdfui.
Amongst the ways and means thus de-
vised is the plan of lectures, the pro-
ceeds to be devoted to the charitable |
object in question. As a case in point |
Major John w. Moore, of Hertford |
county, has consented to read an
eulogy upon General Robert E. Lee
at various points in the State for the |
benefit Of the Oxford Orphan Asylum.
II is needless to say to those who know
Major Moore that he is gentleman of
mental culture and of pleasing address,
and that all who can enjoy a rare in
tellectual effort as well as those who
have no other aim than to relieve the
helpless children of dear Confederates,

TAX PAYERS CONVENTION.

COLUMBIA, Feb. 80 Night.-The
Convention to-day adopted plan fol
the organization of Bureau of Imi
grafton, with Commits sioner in each
county, also the following memorial
to Congress:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
se,atatiucs of the Congress Of the
United States:
The memorial of the taxpayers and
other citizens of South Carolina re-
spectfully sheweth that upon the re-
construction of the State Government, t,
and the admission of Senators and
Representatives into the Congress of
the United States, it was doubtless in
tended by Congress-, as it was expected
by them, that they would become par
takers of the rights enjoyed by citi
zens of the United States, and other
State Governments. The history of
the country teaches that taxation
without representation is tyranny;
our revolutionary fathers had COM
bined to resist such tyranny, and we
feel assured that 1t was never the
intention of the sons Of these men to
allow this very system to be fastened
upon any of their fellow-citizens.
1t has nevertheless come to pass
that the government established in
South Carolina, under the legislation
of Congress has been made the in
strument of effecting this monstrous
oppression; that department of the
State Government which exercises
the taxing power is administered by
those who own a mere fraction of the
property of the State.
Seven ycars have elapsed ainco tho
reconstruction of the State govern
ment, and during that period. of the
property taxed, a majority of the men,
bers of the Legislature owned 10 por-
tion whatsoever, and the remaining
members owned so little that their pay
as members constituted their entire in
terest as property holders. The result
is that those owning the property have
no voice in the government. aud those
imposing the taxes no share in the
burden thereof. The taxes have ad-
vanced yearly until. in many cases,
they consume more than one half of
the income from the property taxed
The annual expenses of the govern
ment have advanced from $400, 900 be-
fore the war up to 100000 at the
present time, and the following COM
parison of leading items of expendi-
ture, viii best exhibit the change:

RALEIGH. Feb. 20, 1874.
The suit CT August Belmont ct al. vs..
the Auditor of the State of North Car
olina, was heard before Judge Watts,
at Chambers to day, in this city. Wal
ter J. Budd and r. c. Badger appeared
for the applicant and Smith & Strong
and Fuller & Ashe against.
This suit was brought by the holders
of the special tax bonds, to require the
Auditor of the State to provide for the
collection of certain special taxes on
the special tax bonds issued by the
General Assembly of 1s6S-69 for the
years of 1870, II, '72 and '73.
Judge Watts decided that he had
no right to grant a mandamus in
Chambers, and could do SO only at
regular term of Court.
The State Grange adjourned sine die
to-day.

iourned yesterday. S.

THE SPECIAL TAX BOND.

August Belmont & CO. caused four
suits to be brought in the Superior
Court of Wake county, against John
Reilly, the Auditor of the State. They
claimed to be the owners of certain
special tax bonds issued to the Wes-
tern r. R., to the w. G.. & r. r. R.,
to the Tarboro X. r., and to the Wcs-
tern N. G. r. r. An action was
brought on each class of bonds. The
object of the actions is to obtain a
mandamus compelling the collection
of taxes to pay the interest On all OF
the bonds issued to these four Rail
roads, :or the years 1S7O-71-72-73-74
The amount of the tax they ask shall
be collected is about 81 on the
800 worth of property.
The payer in the complaints, taken
together, is about as follows: That a
mandamus issue Commanding John
Reilly, the Auditor, to cause special
taxes (amounting to about 81 on
the S1Oo of property imposed on all
the taxable property of the State by
various acts of the Legislature of 1868
for the purpose of paying the interest
on these bonds, to be levied, collected
and paid into the Treasury. And that
said Reilly shall include SAID taxes in
his tax schedules for the year 1874
and shall deliver copies OF said tax
schedules to the Sheriffs of each eoun-
ty in the State before the first day OF
March 1874.
The actions were brought before
judge Watts ut Chambers-February
aOth; the reief prayed for being mai
damus, Messrr. Budd, of Philadel-
aid and r. C. Badger appearing fol
Belmont; Attorney General Hargrove
and Messrs. Smith l. Strong for the
State and Merrimon, Fuller Il Ashe
for Q taxpayer.
The counsel for tho defence moved
to dismiss the actions, because, when
mandamus is asked for, to enforce 9
money demand, the action must be
brought in term time.
After several hours argument, Judge
Watts held that the actions should
have been brought in term time and
dismissed the proceedings. New &C
tions will be at once commenced.

itself upon business men. At Savan
nah / met our friend, Mr. C. Lucia,
Jones. formerly of Wilmington, VIII,
informed me that he had settled tlsr,
with view of going into the nava
store business, which had increaeel
very greatly in the last few years.
| The business needs organization
Samplers and coopers of experience
are needed, and the proper distinction
made between the grades. I hope
Mr.. Jones may be successful as We
believe he will.
Between Thomasville and this place
found orr old somrade-in-arms, and
former Wilmingtonian, Mr.. NJ. Las.
peyre, Ill charge of the engine. and
had the pleasure of riding with him on
his lron-horse, which he manages with
the skill and care of veteran. Moth
ing is more pleasant than to meet
with old friends when ono is far from
home.
In this town I have had the pleasure
ofmeeting with Colonel J. w. McGill,
formerly of Bladen county, and the
last Colonel of the 18th Regiment, a
gallant soldier and clever gentleman.
He is practicing law here, where he
has resided for two years, having mar
ried here. He has already made Ghosts
OF friends" in his new home, and seems
settled for life. He has kindly shown
me about the towl and country and in
troduced me to many OF the leading
citizens.
Bainbridgt like most of the extreme
Southern and Southwestern towns
settled during tho last half century, is
built around square in which is sit
uated the Court House. It is the
western terminus of the Atlantic &
Gulf Railroad, and the head Of navi-
CATION on the Flint River, and enjoys
a fine trade. Still there is not the air
of prosperity about it which I would
like to see. The yellow fever. follow
ing the great storm which DESTROYED
SO many cotton fields last Fall, and
that again succeeded by the panic,
may have temporarily thrown a cloud
over the business of the place.
I am still more surprised at the ap-
pathy of the whites in political mat
ters. With a white population approx
mating the blacks, and in Georgia too,
the Radicals are allowed to carry the
county by some five hundred votes.
There is something wrong. Even in
South Carolina and Mississippi the
Radicals cannot carry counties by
majorities equal to their registered
If the white people here
will draw their line little more dis
tinctly, and force the whites who PAN
der to negro support into the ranks of
their African brethren, and make
hem feel their degradation, my word
:or it, things would change. White
men may be uncertain, but there is
some pride of blood left in those in
which all political principle is lost.

a Serious Hattie and Spanish
Victory Claimed.

HAVANA, February IA heavy en-
gagement has taken place in the Cen
tral Department, of which Havana
Journals give the following ascount:-
General Bascones, with three thousand
men and four pieces of artillery, at
tackled the main force of the insurgents
near Naranio. The latter were five
thousand strong, under the Marquis of
Santa Lucia, the Cuban Commander
in-Chief. The battle lasted seven
hours, and resulted in a success for
General Bascones. The Spaniards lost
80 killed and $50 wounded. The
rebels took no prisoners. Their loss
not given. The insurgents in the Cen
tral Department are setting fire to farm
houses in all directions. Gen. Bur-
riell has sailed for Spain.
Tt was not Senor Sola, editor of the
Gorro Frijjio, who was arrested for
taking part in the recently attempted
riot, but another person of the same
name,
