Third Volume Of the Teller.

With this number we commence the
third volume Of the TELLER. We COM
menced the publication Of the TELLER
with the determination that its patron
age should pay it's expenses, without
charitable contribution from any political
party, or any private individuals who
might have personal axes to grind. We
have endeavored to maintain its charac.
ter in that respect aud the public must
Judge whether or not we have been sue.
cessful in that respect. In lis news and
editorial columns we claim that we have
always maintained our Independence.
Oar advertising columns have been open
to our patrons in which to sp,ak of
their wares and business as suited them,
and for whatever space they have &C.
cupied we have made against them our
charges. In subscription we have re-
ceived as generous patronage as we
could reasonably expect, and from the
day We FIRST issued the TELLER it has
constantly gained in number Of sub
scribers, and only one or two have ever
discontinued their subscription on &C.
count Of any alleged dissatisfaction with
the manner Of conducting the paper.
This has assured us that our course has
met with almost an universal approval
of its readers. We have had occasion
to publicly criticise the public acts Of
some, which is always an unpleasant
business. but nevertheless just to the
public. We have ever endesvored te
do nothing through malice, or i'll will
towards any ono.
The TELLER 80 far has paid its ex
penses, save that it has not furnished
full compensation in wages to the pub
fishers. But its increase Of patronage
inspires US with hope that we will be
able to approximate more nearly to a
full support and fair compensation fol
the labor employed than we have during
the two preceding years. We desire ia
be 60 literally encouraged that we can
afford to add to our stock and material
some things which our Office needs te
make il complete Office to do Efficient
y all the work that is required. w
have upon our books considerable
amount Of unadjusted bills against pat
rons, and we suggest to them that tn
commencement Of the third year is suit
able time for them to settle up arrear
aud ease their consciences of the charg
that they are neglectful Of the wants o
the printer. We trust the year upol
which we now enter may be one Of pros
perity to all our patrons, aud We furthe
trust that our patrons will not only pa
their dues, but also strive to enlarge tn
circulation Of the TELLER, SO that W
together with them may End prosperity

Boys and girls are interested in
peanuts, judging from what may be
seen often in the steam-cars No
COW thinks more Of her cud than
does the average young American
of these handy sweetmeatS. y
gentleman of South Boston sends
to the press of that city some ac-
count of the popular nut. The
question has often been asked how
and when did peanuts first appear
in this country ! About forty years
ago the writer was in Wilmington,
n. c., and became acquainted with
"a gentleman who, in speaking OF
peanuts, said that he believed he
was tue first person who introduced
them into North Carolina; and
when quite u young mau; lie went
bn board Il vessel that had put into
Wilmington in distress, and he saw
for the first tine some nuts III bags,
aud they told him they came from
Africa, and were knOwli as pea or
ground nuts. They gave him few
handsful, which he plantedj and as
they increased, they were scattered
around, and became stuple article
of Culture. Certain 1t is, that at
the time referred to, tie cultivation
of peanuts was almost wholly con
fined to the southern part bf North
Carolina. The production has rap
idly increasedi and they are now
raised in large Quantitles'in most
of the Southern and MANY Ut the
Western States, and are now con
siheip,l rs rne OF our prominent and
STAPLE articles of agricultural pro
ducts. During the civil war, the
Southern people made very nice
kind OF oil from peanuts; and We
have been told that in the warm
countries east of us, when the olive
crop fails, this oil is made to take
its place.

An Important Supreme Court De
cisiOn.


The Mississippi Mills,
II. W. Cook, Sheriff.
The case is this: in 1872 the leg
islature passed Il aw exempting
Wholesale lhoiyerty, buildings and
machinery for manufacturing pur-
poses, from taxation. I'm 1875 these
exemptions were wholly abolished
or greatly curtailed, and the. Mis-
sissippi Mills company denied the
power OF the legislature to pass
this last act. The court held that
the act Of 1876 was constitutional
and operative, andruled the follow
ing points:
1. That t-ower to The Legislature
to tax the property of corporations
created prior to the adoption of eur
present State constitution which
was December LIST, 1863, and which
them under the constitution and
laws OF tue State, was exempted
from taxation, is not given 10y that
instrument, so that where charter
exemptions thea existed, they still
exist, under that clause of the con
stitution of the United States, which
forbids any State from passing any
law imparing the obligation OF con,
tracts.
2. That by the 18th article of the
constitution of 1869 the language of
which is; "The property of all
corporations for pecuniary profits
shall be subject to taxation the
same as that Of individuals" the
legislature is prohibited from plac-
the property OF corporations tor
pecunlary profits created since De
cember 1st, 1869, or of other corpo
rations, the property of which was
then subject to taxation, beyond
the power of the Legislature to tax
it, though it can tax it or not, as it
may think proper.
3. That under section 90 of the
same article of the constitution,
which declares:
Taxation shall be equal and
uniform. All property shall be
taxed in proportion to its value to
be ascertained as directed by law"
4. The rule of equality and uni
formity Of taxation of property is
established, and that therefore
whenever any property is taxed,
belonging to ii corporation, it must
he taxed "as the property of indi-
viduals is taxed, that is, accord
ing to its value" as legally ascer-
tained
3, The legislature has the power
to tax other things than property, at
its discretion, subject only to the
rule Of uniformity. (The privilege
tax la y is an instance OF the taxing
other things than property
6. 1t is still competent for the
legislature to exempt from taxation
for the time being any property
whatever but one Legislature can
not tie up the hands of subsequent
legislatures, SO as to place any
property of corporations for pecu-
MARY profits beyond their power to
tax it.

In vain, for the sun in the West is dead
All dead ON the darkling sea.

Too far for n Ifiaiden's siFhtj
The ships sail on, The strong winds blow
And SOME to the land of Orient 60
And some to the stailess night.

The white sails flicker and CLEAN,
And the ship rides gaily over the bar,
But the night is bleak with never a star,

With only rose in my little hand,

~, the votes Of these two States certainly
would not have been counted for HAYES If
there had been no Electoral Commission But
1t is urged that the House of Representatives
consented to their being counted, first by
passing the bill creating the Electoral Com
mission, and secondly by sitting in silence
when the votes were cast.
The vote Of the House for an unconstitu-
tional bill was OF no effect. Being uncon-
stitutional it was void.
Neither was the silence of the House
when the vote was actually counted an indi-
cation Of assent The House had already
protested against the count, and could do
nothing further.
SO it is not true that the House Of Repre-
sentativcs at the time asscntcd to the
count. Subsequently. the House by large
majority declared HAYES title illegal and
invalid.
We now come to the consideration OF the
inquiry whether II was in the power Of the
two Houses Of Congress, in connection with
tho Electoral Commission, to make HAYEs's
title good
The Constitution regulates the mode Of
counting the votes for President. That
mode Is exclusive OF an Electoral Commits
sion. TO include an Electoral Commission
is to establish an unconstitutional proceed
ing. II the subsequent assent of Congress
can render an unconstitutional proceeding
valid and constitutional, then every Prc-l-
dent for all coming time can be counted in
by an unconstitutional Electoral Commits
sion and his title can be made good by the
subsequent action Of Congress.
Such a proposition il clearly inadmissibe
1t involves an assertion of the right Of the
two Houses of Congress to change the Con-
stitution, and this 10y the terms Of the Con-
sttution itself, can only be done with the
ratification of thrce-fourths Of the States.
Thus 1t will he seen that to maintain that
Mr. HAyEss title is now valid IL TO maintain
that good title to the Office Of President
can be established in manner different
from that provided by the Constitution. II
this can be done once it can always be done.
and the Constitution is at an end.
