The City Bonds.

The tax on City bonds, which was
repealed by the Legislature, and which
is not paid to the collectors Of this city, is
now demanded from them by the tax
collectors of the County. The reason
of this is that the tax was repealed af-
ter the assessment was made, and the
collectors say they are bound to collect
this tax, as they are ordered to do so by
the law, and they have had no legal
notice of its repeal. The Treasurer's Of
fee is now filled with complainants,
who are asking tor advice. The Levy
Court, at their next meeting, probably
will do something in the matter. A
great many people, especially ladies,
feel quite disappointed at not receiving
their tax. Many of them appear to
think it was a sort of perquisite paid to
them upon the second payment of their
interest. 1t is hard to get them to un-
derstand it was tax, and tina. the tax
being repealed, the city, which is bound
to pay all taxes laid by the State or the
United States upon their bonds, is not
required to do so when these taxes have
been repealed.

Removing q Crippled Omcer.

WASHINGTON, July l4.-Sidney l..
Wilson, Of fChautauqua, N. Y, has been
!employed as an Assistant Door-keeper
Of the Senate since 1869. At the bat
tie OF Gettysburg he was severely woun-
ded in one OF his legs, and while pros
trated on the field the other leg was
carried away by round shot from a
rebel battery. The leg in which he
was first wounded was subsequently
amputated, 80 that he is now without
legs.
When Congress adjourned he left
Washington for his home, confident, in
view Of the declarations made by SEN
ator Wallace and other Democratic
Senators in their places in the Senate
that it was not the purpose of the ma
jority to remove wounded Union sold.
iers, that he would be retained in his
place. ON the lst of July, Sergeant
at Arms Bright wrote to Wilson, inform
ing him that he would cease to he an
officer of the Senate after July 7th.
Comment upon this action of Mr.. Bright
is unnecessary. Had Wilson no claims
because Of his unusual wounds receiv-
ed in battle, his long and faithful SER
vice as an officer of the Senate entitled
him at this particular tine, when Con-
gress is not in session, to at least a one
months notice before he was discharged.

President Hayes an Arbitrator.

WASHINGTON, July l4..-A private let
ter has been received in this city from
Senior Don Benjamin Aceval, Secretary
of Foreign Affairs for Paraguay, and
formerly Minister to the United States
from that country. in which he de-
scribes the formal transfer to Paraguay
of strip of territory, the title to which
has long been in dispute between the
Argentine and Paraguayan Republics.
The title to this disputed territory was
referred by the disputants to the arbi-
tration of President Hayes, and decis.
ion was recently rendered in favor of
Paraguay. The ceremonies by which
the formal transfer was made took place
at city called Villa Occidental, and
were very imposing. After obtaining
formal possession of the disputed terri
tory, the first official act of the Para.
guayan Government was to change the
name of Villa Occidental to Villa Hayes
as a compliment to the President of the
United States.

anoMO

The Pennsylvania State bond invss-
tigating committee hsld meeting yes
terday in the Treasury Department,
and obtained number Of important
facts, which may result in unraveling
the over issue OF bonds In 1858. w. D..
Boas, Of Harrisbu' z, who was q clerk
under Bickel, State Treasurer in 1858,
and cashier under Bailey, Bickel's sue.
cessor, stated that bonds to the amount
of $500, 600 were forwarded TO the Gi-
rard Bank, Philadelphia, from time to
time, some of which he transfer
red himself. Ofthis amount e400, 900
were negotiated TOR the use of the State
and subsequently $2s, 900 were negotia-
ted in London by agents of the Girard
Bank, leaving ~, 900 unnegotiatsd,
which he always understood remained
so in the Girard Bank. He stated that
the Department never Lad any person
al dealings with Charles 5. Boxer, but
dealt With the bank only.
II will be remembered that a paper
was produced at a previous meeting Of
the committee signed by Boxer, show
ing that the bank had $l00,O0 Of
bonds Of 1858. When Bickel entered
upon the duties Of his Office, and Alder
man Maursr, chief clerk in the Auditor.
Generals Office for many years testi
fed that prior and subsequent to Nc
Grath's administration books we're kept
showing the number of bonds issued
and from which the coupons had been
cut. The books had not been found,
but the State Treasury clerks were re-.
quested to producs them, If they can bs
found, at Bedford, on Wednesday,
where the committee will hold its next
meeting. With their discovery, the
unearthing Of the over-issue mystery is
probable. Pennsylvania at the time
these transactions took place was
thoroughly Democratic, and the officers
above named were Democrats.

Commodore Vssderbilt's Name.

A favorits and very pleasant past
time is to find how many words can be
formed Of the letters of some prominent
persons name, and it is surprising some-
times to find what number of words
can be manufactured out of a compare
lively short name. Mrs. William H.
Newton, a lady we'll known at St.
Georges from which place she removed
last spring with her husband to San
Francisco, California, writes to US the
following note.
SAN FRANCISCO, July sth, 10.
EDIioRs OF kEPUBLICAN:-I see in recent

words in the name of Commodore Vanderbilt.

hundred words, list OF which l send you
herewith. would like to know If any of the
readers OF your widely circulated Weekly can
discover larger number of words In the late
Milliunaires' name. Respectfully.
Mrs. VIM. II. NEWTON.
Mrs. Newton has certainly made a
good showing on theCommodore's name,
but we are certain tina. the list can be
heightened another hundred words. In
glancing over Mrs. Newton's list We
saw several words that We probably
would never have thought Of, and We
thought of dozen or more that could
not be found On the list. As our read
ers will no doubt put on their study
ing caps and go to work upon the
Commodore's name, We will watch with
some anxiety for reports from them,
especially if they overreach the num-
ber Mrs. Newton has sent us, and after
they have done their best comparison
with her list will no doubt create many
surprises. Here is the name: Commo-
dore Vanderbilt.

How North Carolina Democrats

How North Carolina Democrats
Seek to Maintain Their Power
RALEIGH, N. c., July l5.-The prin
.sipal efforts of the Democrats in every
campaign hers is to inhame the passions
of that class Of voters known as "poor
wbites'' against the "nigger. The
natural inclination Of the poor
whites, a. they are invariably termed
by the Democrats, is to vote the Rspub-
lican ticket, and it requires extraordi
na,y exeruon to prevent them from 30
doing.
The most potent influence is to ap'
1p.alte their passions through their lg,
norancs by declaring on the stump ana
Through newspapers and documents
that the Republicans are trying to put
,th. "nigger" over the white man.
A novel way by which the Democrats
played upon the prejudices in the eam-
paign of last year has just come to lignt.
1t appears that the Democratic state
Committee, in addition to documents,
furnished envelopes to the voters. One
of ,h.se had two armed cavalry men
Or nted on it, and under these pictures
are The following printed lines.
NAV those Northern fanatics, who abuse
their southern neighbors,
Approach near ugh to feel the point oi
May they come near enough to hear the click
And learn thai white man is better than a
niggor."
These lines were intended to arouse
the passions and fire the Southern
heart 80 as to prevent any white man
from voting with the "nigger party "
They also suggest another trial by
arms tor the purpose OF proving to the
satisfaction of the loyal millions OF the
North that Democrat in good stand
ing who has killed his "nigger," stuff
ID ballot-boxes, and counted out Re.
publican candidates, is better than any
mated "Yankes." When in minOri.
ty the Democrats cried out that the
white Repu blicans habtually endeav-
.oreA TO create race prejudice SO as to
control the colored men. Now that the
Democrats are in the majority, they use
every means to influence the white
against ths~negroes.
There is less prejudice in North Car
-olina than in any other Southern State
but for such infamous practices as the
one herein described, the Republican
vote from the whites would bs not lesi
than go, 600, making the total Republi
can vote not less than 5000, and
leaving the Democrats in decided
minority.
