TANES.

Tomorrow, according to ADVERTISE
ment, large amount of property is
advertised to be sold for City taxes.
Do we ask too much af the Board of
Aldermen to postpone the forcible col
lection of this tax? We are we'll awal e
that the City needs money, but this
very fact arises from the monetary
crisis through which this immediate
section is now passing. The tightness
of money in the ve1y height of the
crisis last Fall and Winter, is nothing
to that which now exists. Indeed, We
may say truly, that the present bust
ness depression is without parallel
since the war.
Upon these grounds we ask, in all
sincerity, the Board of Aldermen
to take some steps looking to a
postponement of the sale of prop
erty for taxes. The people need
relief, and surely the City is bet
ter able to extend the time of payment,
than are the people to meet the tax.
Many of them cannot do it, and their
property must needs be sold.
And we desire also to appeal to the
County Commissioners in this same
behalf. Tho postponement of the col
lection of County taxes should also be
postponed, SO that our citizens can pay
in instalments. Last year the Legis-
lature postponed the collection OF the
State tax, and will doubtless do SO
again. If people ever needed relief
ours do now, and having the power,
our officials ought to extend it to them.
If property is sold, the owner must
pay twenty-five per cent in order to
have it restored and, besides. many CT
them, unacquainted with the proper
forms, are compelled to employ law
yer to attend to it for them.
Under all these considerations we
earnestly appealto our City and County
officials to extend the time for the col
lection of taxes sufficiently long to af-
ford substantial relief to our over
burdened citizens. We hope they
will heed our appeal.

Fire at bennington.

We regret to learn that the distil-
lery and store house of Mr.. John r..
Jackson, situated within two miles of
Pennington, were entirely destroyed
by fire last Friday night. A brother
of Mr.. Jackson and another gentle
man were asleep in the store at the
time but knew nothing of the fire until
it was too late to save anything.
The fire was accidental, and is said
to have originated from fire left in the
furnace. There were about $50 barrels
of turpentine on the yard at the time,
and also a considerable quantity of
spirits of turpentine and rosin, no
shipments having been made for a
together with the distillery and the
contents of the store.
The loss foots up about $4,000, on
which we regret to learn that there
was no insurance.

One hot sultTy morning, few years
ago, when the cholera was raging in
st. Louis, and excitement among all
classes was at fever heat, gentleman
of Teutonic persuasion, weighing about
two hundred and fifty pounds, suffer
ing from the effects of big spree, and
apparently in great mental agitation,
approached the news stand and said
to the proprietor, "NIishter, will you

names of dem beeples vat has gone

him, and looking it over in a confused
way for few moments, he passed it
back, remarking, ''Will you bleas read

got the cholera no more, don't if, Uud
see if Carl Observation-Disclosures has

the list, the Tcuton standing by and
wiping the perspiration from his brow
in a terrible state of excitement. The
proprietor finished the list remarking,
s.No such name there, sir" Teuton.
Frightening up, "You don't find en-"
Proprietor, "No, SIR" Teuton, seiz-

by an unaccountab,c slip OF the pen,
in mentioning the letter written by
this gentlemen to the Wilmington

was opposed to the movement. This
was all Il mistake, anG we gladly make
the correction, having our attention
called to it by our valued contempora-

No man possesses in larger degree

Carolina Central halfway - In
Junction Case.

Upon the application of DIR. Orr,
says the Charlotte O5scrrcr, IN in
junction was granted, few days ago,
by Judge David Schenck, at Cham
bers, restraining the Carolina Central
Railway Company from further oper-
ations on his lands, until certain dam
ages claimed by him had been paid by
the company. 1t is claimed by some
that the Injunction, which was served
on the President yesterday, will stop
further work on the road until the
matter can be adjusted.
AS the case is an important one it
naturally excites considerable feeling
in our community, but like all legal
questions it has two sides, and, as we
don't know the merits pro and con, we
forbear any comment, except to say,
"FTat justitia, ruat crluna." We are
informed, however, that an application
will be made in a few days to vacate
or modify this Injunction, and at that
time the case will be heard upon its
merits

VI - e r. FEDERAL INCEREER
.ENCE.

The Petersburg Iadcr-A1opeal says
Last week the order of the United
States Court, sitting at Richmond,
compelled certain registers of this city
to surrender to United States grand
jury the books of registration, of
which the State law makes them the
sworn and sole responsible custodians.
These registrars are State officers, ap-
pointed by the State courts, paid by
| the State, and made responsible for
any delinquency of duty to the State
authorities. One of the duties to
which they are sworn is to keep per-
sonal charge of their registration
books; and this duty they were COM
PEELED by process Of the Federal Court
last week to violate, although they en-
tened most solemn protest. The re-
suit is, the books have passed out of
their hands, and they are no more
able to certify to their correctness;
and they refuse most properly to be-
come responsible for any registration,
when the opportunity has been offered,
and perhaps improved, for the perpe-
tration of fraud and the corruption of
the record.
All this outrage on the dignity and
authority of the State of Virginia has
elapsed without protest, without even
ordinary newspaper notice, except on
part of the local press. The Governor
does not appear to have heard of it,
and the press OF the State has never
made any the least allusion to the out
rage, SO far as we are informed. The
people are really DISTINGUISHED by act
of Federal Court, and it is altogether
probable that the polls will not be
opened on the day when the rest of
the State will exercise the usual civic
rights. And yet there arises no voice
of remonstrance-there is offered no
word of objection!
To this degree of supine submission
has the country been reduced by the |
long infliction o. tyrannjcal rule and |

preparation of S1OO,O to conduct
operations for the year. The break
water of A, 400 feet, connecting Smith
with Zeke's Island, having been COM
pleted, it was determined by the
Engineer to construct a DETECTING
breakwater from Federal Point, about
1,500 to 1900 feet in q southwest di-
rectlOn, for the purpose of divertiDg
the river current from the Inlet, and
thereby assist in its final close, and to
this end the work was Immediately
commenced. After proceeding 500
feet it was found that the cost SO far
exceeded the estimates. that the ap-
preparation was insufficient to COM
plete it, and the Supervising Engineer
thought it best to stop the work at
that point and devote the residue of
funds at his disposal to the immediate
relief of navigation by dredging and
removing distractions from the river.
A steamer was purchased and fitted up
with necessary machinery as q suction
dredge, at the cost Of $4,000, to be
used on the outer bar Of Baldhead
channel.
A river snag dredge also was char
tered to operate on the flats above
Big Island, where she operated for
about one month, with decided effect,
removing from the channel many pom
drous stumps and logs, thus relieving
navigation to some extent.
The suction dredge, the Woodbury.,
got to work about the 1st of April. op-
Grating for few days only, just long
enough to test her ability and adapta-
bility to the service, when on the 9Th !
OF April it was discovered that the apf
rornnr1otJ01, IL ~
ratlons were suspend 4, The dredge
and tug were sent to Baltimore TOR re-
pairs, and the hands all discharged,
except few to take care of tho prop
erty, SO that all operations were en-
tirely suspended for The balance Of the
year for want of funds.
An appropriation Of $3.50, 900 was
obtained from the last Congress for
this work during the pre-
sent year ; this sum being considered
inadequate for successful
attempt at closing the New Inlet,
which is the fundamental principal or
feature in the system of our Harbor
this appropriation will
most probably be devoted to dredg-
ing, removing distractions, repairing
damages, &C., relying upon the next
Congress for such an appropriation MS
the Supervising Engineer may think
proper to recommend for O successful
prosecution of the work.
In concluding this report, we desire
to express our appreciation of the
ability of Capt. @. B. Phillips, the AS
sistant Engineer, who has the immedi-
ate charge of all the working details of
the improvement, and it is to his skill,
industry and devotion to the cause,
that we arelargely indebted for thewon-
derful SUCCESS which has attended this
great enterprise, surrounded as it has
been, by the most embarrassing cir
cumstances from its very incipiency,
and we commend him to the favorable
of the Chamber.

|, TonchIn- Marrta-e Ceremony.

It was the writer's privilege, yester-
day, at halt-past four P. NJ, to witness
the union of two loving and devoted
hearts, under circumstances Of tho
most trying and distressing character.
The dr0na0tis 21cTsOno2 on this
unique and interesting occasion, were
Senator L. J. Perry. of Arlington, Ga.
and Miss Anna A., the daughter of
General George z. Harrison, of Chat
ham county.
The former, it will be remembered,
only three days since had his leg ter
ribly crushed by q locomotive in the
car shed, rendering amputation neces.
sary.
The intelligence was telegraphed to
his affianced in Savannah, and like
true woman and blessed angel of
mercy, accompanied by her father, she
fastened TO his side. In her case there
was no rev1lsion of feeIing-no seek
ing to recall the plighted troth-no
hesitancy in casting her lot with Il
manned and bleeding lover forever,
come veal, come woe, in sunshine and
in shade. On the contrary, he became
the moro endeared to her, and she
regarded him,
''Even as broken mirror, which the glass
In every fragment multiples anti makes
4 thousand images of enc that was,
The same, and still the more, the moro it
breaks"
Anxious to minister to the comfort
Of the being who Heaven had set apart
for her companion through life, to his
entreaty, feebly uttered on couch Of
languishing, she at once responded
with noble candOr, and consented to
assume the duties of the wife immedi-
ately.
The nuptials were accordingly SOL
emnized, as stated, at Browns Hotel,
yesterday afternoon, inthe presence Of
the father of the bride, a brother Of
the wounded husband, and about q
dozen other ladies and gentlemen.
Rev. George N. Mcdaniel, of this
city, oficiated, the bride dressed in
black and sitting by the bedside Of her
afflicted lover.
Never was a wedding ceremony moro
impressively rendered, or the resposi-
bilities of the marital relation made to
appearin stronger colors The responses
of both the principals were distinctly
audible, soft light beaming from tho
eyes of the gentle bride as she devoted
herself to the care and happiness Of
the feeble sufferer to whom her fate
was now indissolubly linked. And if
ever mortal LOOKED Serenely content
and happy, albeit his sad condition, it
was the young senator who so recently
had exchanged the triumphs OF the
hustings for the long confinement of
sick chamber.
The concluding prayer Of the minis
ter was replete with pathos and fervor.
and his earnest appeals in behalf of
the married pair, found an echo in
every bosom.
The ceremony over, each guest, after
word of greeting, quickly retired.
Who can doubt that angels wings
hovered around that sublime and
almost weird scene The love of
woman isindeed beautiful and fathom-
less. May long years of blissful peace
reward the fidelity and constancy of
these hearts now by the alchemy of
Cupid transformed into O1ac.-Nfacon
Telegraph and Messenger.

that the rails had become warped by
it. The Conductor, Engineer and
brakesmen, and all the male passen-
gers on board the train ct once went
vigorously into the business of fight
ing the fire and soon had it under
control. By this time workmen had
arrived on the spot and in an almost
incredibly short time the track was
again in order and the train passed
over safely, reaching the city two
hours behind schedule time. About
800 cords of wood were burned and it
is thought that it was set on fire.
