A Law that does not Please North Car-
Olina Criminals.

The following is an extract from a
letter written by government revenue
officer In the south: "The intense dis
like to the enforcement of the internal
revenue laws which exists in several of
the southern states, and especially in
North Carolina, is scarcely realized BY
the country at large. Some influential
and respectable heads of families, ire
spectlve of politics, are engaged in ILL.,
cit whisky and tobacco business. II IL
not considered involving any moral
turpitude TO defraud the government.
Within a few months even the machin-
cry OF the state courts has been employ
cd to deter officers from enforcing the
laws, and malicious suits and indict-
ments and frivolous pretexts have been
brought against them for acts done In
performing their duty. The laws OF
the United States which allow officers
TO remove such suits to the federal
courts for trial have been resisted, and
the judges of the state courts directed
their clerks not to obey writ of certior-
1ri issuing from federal courts, Judge
Cox alone of the democratic Judges of
North Carolina sustaining the right of
removal. The question finally went to
the supreme court OF tho state on the
appeal from his court. Gov. Vance
specially employed distinguished coun-
sci to assist the attorney general TO resist
the removal of such causes to the federal
courts. The argument consumed four
days. The forensic display was consid-
cred the most brilliant witnessed for
many years before the tribunal. The
supreme court decided to sustain the
right of removal, and the right of Unit
cd States officers TO be tried in federal
courts has been sustained by the highest
tribunal in the state. The consequence
Of this decision cannot be over estimat-
cd. Had the decision been reversed
has done his duty would have been
dragged before the courts and harrassed
by endless litigation. Fraud would
have run riot, and the federal laws
would have been practically nulilAed.

Institute of Instruction.

MEssRs EDITORS Tho forty eighth
annual meeting of the American Insti-
tute of Instruction was holden at Mont
pelier, July IL and u. The last one
held in this state was twenty-eight years
since. A resolution was introduced to
change the name from "American" to
New England Institute, as it is really q
New England association, but it was
not adopted. The number in attend
ance was much larger than at any for
mer session, fully eleven hundred teach
ers and others being present. The adj
dresses were by the leading educators
of the New England states, and were all
able and instructive.
In addition to the attractions of the
Institute, were several excursions for
such as wished TO visit summer resorts,
after the Institute closed. Among the
places to which the cxcursionists could
go were the White Mountains, Montre.
al, Quebec, Ausable Chasm, Ticonde-
roga, etc., the fare on the railroads to
the excursionists being half rates, OIL
less even in some instances. Many
availed themselves of this opportunity
The weather was fine during the two
days Of the session. The citizens OF
Montpelier were very generous in en-
terta:ning and caring for those in at.
tendance; and the meeting must result
in much good to all who We're present.
The state superintendent Of educa-
ton, at the suggestion of some Of the
members of the several county boards
for examination of teachers, invited the
several members of such county boards
to meet in Montpelier during the session
Of the Institute, to confer with each 9th.
err as to the best course to be pursued
in the examination of teachers for coun.
ty certificates, as contemplated by the
law of the last session Of the Legislature
and also to secure some degree of uni.
formity in such examinations, IN the
several counties. In pursuance OF such
invitation, the following persons met al
the Pavilion, July IL Z. Brookins
Addison county; NJ. Bates, Bennington
county; II. j. Fuller, Caledonia coun.
ty; c, j. Alger, Chittenden county; S.
w. Landon, Franklin county; j. s.
Cllley, Rutland county, II. Carlton
Washington county; and c. c. Boyn.
ton, Windham county. After compsr.
ing views with each other In relation to
the matter, adopting resolutions ex.
pressing their ideas on this subject, and
which will doubtless be published, they
adjourned.
Teachers are also aware that county
examinations are held only on applica.
ton of five or more teachers, who have
had at least ten weeks experience IN
teaching in the common schools; such
application to be made to one of the
members of the county examining com.
mittee, Such an examination has been
held III bennington county, and one
will be held In Rutland county, some
time in August.

y Old Ben Wade has again opene

- Old Ben Wade has again opened
his mouth and given utterance to his
feelings on the presidents southern
policy, reasserting his opinion that 1t is
IAN ignominous surrender" Whatever
1t is, 1t certainly is not "surrender"
Of any kind. The president could not
constitutionally or legitimately do 9TH
erwise than he has done In the matter
Of Withdrawing the troops from the sup
port Of the Republican governors Of
Louisiana and South Carolina. The
necessity was undoubtedly an unfortun-
ate one, because it gave the worst ele-
nent control; but II was a necessity
nevertheless. The lawless element now
controlling the local governments of the
south by fraud, intimidation and murd-
er, must have its day, to the great scan
dal of the country perhaps, but not less
surely. Tho constitution does not allow
the general government TO interfere ex-
cept In certain conditions which have
not yet existed. 1t is hoped the people
Will themselves tire Of the reign of ter
ror and fraud at length, and displace
those who strive TO control the local
governments by the methods employed
by the kuklux In the south during the
past few years.

The POTATO STARCH INDUSTRY. One
OF the important manufactured products
OF the small country towns ofNew Eng
land and New York state is potato
starch. II is believed that nearly 81
100000 bushels of potatoes are frequent
" consumed per year in the states OF
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and
New York in the production of potato
starch. This amount is three -eighths as
large as the total potato crop of Maine,
three-fourths as large as that Of New
Hampshire, three-fifths as large as that
of Vermont, one-tenth as large as that
of New York state, of about the same
magnitude as that of Massachusetts, and
much larger than the crops of Connscti-
cut or Rhode Island. There are about
225 factories engaged in the manufacture
of potato starch, and probably all OF
them with one or two exceptions are 10.
Gated in the states of New York, Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont. Proba-
bly, the average price paid for potatoes
by starch manufactures during the past
season has been thirty cents per bushel.
The aggregate annual production of all
the factories is usually from 6 200 TO IL, >
ly makes eight pounds of starch, $50
bushels, therefore, being required for a
ton. AS the average market quotation
of potato starch is about five cents per
pound, it follows that bushel of pota-
toes brings only forty cents after being
converted into starch, and tho value Of
the total production of potato starch in
the country is from $500, 900 to 81 ,200,-
600 per annum.

THE Wool TRApI.-The sales of wool
at Boston, last week, were the largest
ever made In one week, close on to L.
600, 900, namely, 2,745,0O0 lbs. of do.
mestic and 1907 900 of foreign. The
sales of the last seven weeks amount to
over IL, 900, 900 lbs. Low grades of do
nestle aud fine Of foreign have been the
most active, with large sales of Michi.
gan and Ohio al 40 per cent. above the
prices Of last year. Why manufacturers
rushed into the market and overbid each
other to such degree Is a mystery, and
there Is no little fright among them at
what has happened. Wool has been a
great feature Of the business of the sea-
son. Wheat could be sold If Il was 10
be had, and 1t is said that steamer-room
has been engaged a month ahead for
breadstuffs TO arrive at New York. The
Pacific coast altogether will have about
400, 900 tons of wheat and -four, against
100000 tons last year, TO export, but
prices are so much higher that an equal
amount of money may be realized. AT
the opening of the harvest, prices at San
Francisco are 2 Ia cents pound,
against l-2 last year. The railroad
troubles, by the wav, are pooh-poohed
by the trunk-line managers, and do not
threaten open war. The British reve-
nue. returns indicate a considerable in.
crease Of business in that country.
