ioiioWiu8 inquiries OF you, ana to request an
answer to them:
l. Do you recollect the interview we had
some time last winter upon the proper con.
struction Of the "specifc tax levy act" in
which informed you of the two constructions
placed upon the act-the LITERAL by which no
money could be paid by me on any account
unless that account had a credit balance and
the reasonable. which was that each class Of
objects for which the levy was made should
receive the proportionate amount of The whole
that it was entitled to when the final disburse-
ments were made, and reported by me annu-
ally to the general assembly, and that In the
meantime could anticipate the recsipts for
any pressing demands that might be made at
my own risk and responsibility 4?
g Do you remember that stated to you
that had adopted the reasonable construc
ton, which l regarded in perfect harmony
with the spirit and intent of the law, and that
you approved of that course?
And, further, that you volunteered the fol-
lowing remark: That if the literal was pur.
sued, the legislature would not pass any moro
specific tax levies, on account Of the hardships
1t would produce upon themselves In prevent
ing them from getting their own pay, and that
It was very desirable TO have that construc.
ton placed upon the law for the general good7
Very respectfully. your obedient servant

very we'll remember the interview re.

recollection, very soon after the final adjourn.

determined to increase the number of deposito-
ries. I, therefore, decided to run my balance
down in bank as low as was consistent with
safety and my po'oer under the la,D, keeping a
due regard to the demands that might be
made upon the treasury in the meantime
There were other and much more serious
reasons, however, why I did not deem it pru.
dent to make Mr.. Solomon's bank the sole de.
pository Of State funds.
The stock Of this bank is almost entirely
owned by Mr.. Solomon himself, and managed
exclusively by him. had no knowledge of
the real condition of this bank, and did not
know what might happen to the funds of the
State in case Of Mr.. Soiomou's death or any
disastrous results to his Investments, and 1t
was ntimated to him that he should make
known the condition of his bank. He then
furnished the governor with list Of his assets
ana liabilities. AS soon as scanned the list,
and made an estimate OF the market value of
his assets and compared them with his l,abili.
ties, was surprised.
AS If to confirm me in the wisdom of the
policy decided upon, q significant circum.
stance occurred just about this time, which
deeply mortified and humiliated both the poy.
ernor and myself We had made arrange.
ment about the lst Of December with Mr..
Solomon for the payment of the January,
1876, interest on the consolidation bonds at
the National Park Bank, in New York. He
assured US 1t would be properly attended to,
and then failed to pay the entire amount
agreed upon, although there were ample
funds in his bank for that purpose. The ques.
ton may be asked here, why, then, did you
agree to make Mr.. Solomons bank a deposi.
tory of State funds under such circumst tances7

Meeklenburg Declaration Of Independence COM
menced in Charlotte, North CaroliRa, in lode-
pendence Square, the site of the old Court

50 guns from the Richmond Howitzers aud Az

Johnston, mayor of Charlotte, and Hon. Curtis
H. Brogden, Governor Of North Carolina, &C.
cupied seats on an extemporlzed platform.

fifteen minutes, and was repeatedly Interrupted
with cheers. He said the principles of liberty
euuuciated by the fathers OF the revolution one
hundred years ago, on the spot upon which
be stood would live throughout all time Last
night great many dwellings, and other houses
were Illuminated with gas, candles and Chinese
lanterns, while transparencies, with notices
commemoratiug the event, were numerous.
The centennial flagstaff was hung with strings
of lanterns, stretching from the centre to the

A convention of colored people assembled 10
Nashville, Tennessee, yesterday, to mature
measures for emigration to some other State,
an impression prevailing among them that they
can obtain free transportation to Kansas and
forty acres Of land, with q years rations and q
mule. 1t is suggested that perhaps this rumor
has caused the reported disappearance of grass
hoppers from that State.

The CURRENCY QUESTION. The Richmond
Wing in an article Oh the currency question 10
the next Congress thinks that the sentiment OF
the South ~ of the West, as expressed by
their represeI atives, will, be found very strong
90 the side o9Ahe wants and wishes of the peo.
pie, 10 opposition to the plaus and purposes OF
the men who hold the money power and are
seeking to increase it and perpetuate it. And
while it attributes the depressing dulDesS 10
trade, encouragement Of energy, want of that
confidence which gives boldness to business,
progress to labor and prosperity to the people,
TO the domestic policy OF the Government, yet
it thinks the absence Of full, tree flowing
currency has also had most damaging indu-
cuce in bringing about this state Of things so
productive Of dissatisfaction among all classes
of men 10 all the departments Of labor 1t says:
I'll thugs shall 20 on 10 this way as they are
going, for few years logger, We shall have

troll oil the money wammoths Of Wall street
aud its dependencies in toe North, that they
will be the dictators of trade and the master:
Of the mutiludes toiiug under their Tyranny.
But it concludes 1--WE must say, however,
with all our ardor in the cause that it the cur
reucy question would SO divide the Democratic
Conservative party Of the North as to endau-
ger its success in the approaching Presidential
election, We should be IN favor of allowing it to
rest until after the battle, just as we are in ia,

debt before the people, lest it may produce dis
sension 10 our own Virginia party in tie State.

POTATO BUG-At the last meeting of the Wood

ported as having begun its destructive work on
the potato vines, and it was recommended to
keep close watch upon the vines and on the first
Appearance Of the eggs or slugs, knock them of
into a tin pan or bucket and scsld them with hot
water If too numerous to destroy in this way,
then mix one pound of Paris green with twenty
pounds of -four or plaster and sift on the vines
while wet. 1t was urged that every one should
destroy them as fast as they make their appear
alice, and thereby, by combined effort, keep
them in check.
GRAPEs.-It was feared that the grape crop
of this county had been badly injured by the
late cold snap but we are glad to know that
such is not the CASE In the vineyard of Mr..
Haberle the grapes are not injured, and the
prospect for good crop is promising We have
not heard from other vineyards but presume
they fare as we'll, as the chances are about equal.

THE STATE DEBT AND TAxEs.-The Char
Jeffersonau states the case plainly


lottesVille Jefersoniap states the case plainly
but strongly in the following article:
''The poor men of the country pay but a very
small amount on account of the State taxes
which 60 to pay the general expenses of the
State and the interest on the debt A man
worth one hundred dollars pays only fifty cents,
and 80 on in the same ratio according to what
he is worth, and one who owns no property
pays nothing. Who, then, is relieved from tax
alton by reputation? Not the man of no prop
erty or of small property, but the man who
| holds a large estate. Upon whom does taxation
weigh most heavily? Upon him VINO owns large
property which he cannot manage pro6tably-
Much of the cry Of the burden of the taxes we
have been paying being so great as to justify re-
pudistion is the wall of some large property
holders, by which they seek to beguile the really
poor man into the belief that he will get some
| great benefit by Reputation, when in truth he
will get nothing but his share of the disgrace
aud of the evils Of decentralization and corrur'-
tons of society that will follow in the train. In
order to relieve himself Of the annual payment
of fifty cents or one dollar, the honest poor OF
the land are urged to vote in favor of refusing
to pay the just debts of the State, and thereby
disgrace Virginia and set an example to justify
men in cheating them out OF their just dues.
For if the State defrauds her creditor, holding
on to the railroads, canals and other public i'm
provements which are built with the borrowed
money that created the debt, why may not every
man cheat his neighbor out Of the wages for his
lsbor, the price for his horse his bed, or thresh-
ing machine? When this state of things is
brought about, the poor men, who have but lit
tie power and influence and no means to spare
for law SUITS will suffer beyond calculation from
the oppression and the dishonesty of unscrupu-
lous men of property, whose number will be
largely increased by the concentrating example
of the State"
