More Particulars of the Arguments in the Case

WASHINGTON, October %, 1889.
The case of Chas. E. Cross and Samuel
G. White, president and cashier OF the
broken State National Bank OF Raleigh,
N. c., PLAINTIFF in error, against the State
of North Carolina, was argued in the
supreme court of the United States, by
Mr. W. r. Henry for plaintiffs, and Col.
Theo Davidson, attorney general OF
North Carolina, 10 behalf OF the State.
Mr. Henry made a motion asking for
writ OF certiorari to the supreme court OF
North Carolina, because of defect in the
verdict as sent up.
The defect was admitted by the sttor'
ney general, and the court then asked
why 1t could not be amended by consent.
Mr. Henry opposed the amendment by
consent, insisting that the supreme court
of the United States could not make
record for the lower court. He cited part
of the opinion of the supreme court 10 the
Anarchist case, when it was said that the
only course ia to grant the writ.
Mr. Henry came near getting the writ,
which would have probably continued
the case for another year, but the court
examined the pleadings, and, after con
sultation, said that the defect seemed sup
piled by allegations elsewhere in the
record, denied the motion, and the argu
ment on the merits of the case was then
had The facts in the case are known to
almost every one in North Carolina. 90
will not rehearse them here.
The point made by MIR Henry, that the
State court has no Jurisdiction to Try
Cross and White, was presented with
great power and clearness, and involves
great question of State sovereignty, and
will constitute leading case on the rela
tive Jurisdiction of the State and Federal
courts, especially in regard to all offences
touching national banks.
There are many WHO think that MI
Henry's position is not sound, and that
the point he makes will not hold but
really no one will ever know how the
matter is until it is decided by the FEEDER
al supreme court.
The court pressed Mr. Henry very hard
with questions, particularly Justice Gray
and Justice Miller, on the point as to the
Jurisdiction of the State court, and on the
point as to polling the jury in said case
which was alleged by plaintiffs as being
without due process of law; the court
seemed to be of opinion that it was not
Federal question. Justice Miller said
Suppose all you say is true, and that the
verdict was not legally and properly OBJ
tanned, what has this court to do with it
How do you distinguish this case as tc
this point from those cases in which We
have said that the constitutional provision
in regard to due process of law is limita
tion upon the Federal judiciary, and hal
nothing to do with proceedings in the
State courts ?"
Mr. Henry said that he was familiar
with those decisions, but he relied to 8
great extent upon the powerful opinion oi
Justice Harlan, 10 which he said that such
question is Federal question.
Mr. Henry and Col. Davidson CONSUMED
almost the whole of the four hours ses
sion in arguing the case.
The opinion will probably be rendered
within the next sixty or ninety days.

Another Small but Paying Industry.

Within the past three months We have
mentioned in these columns several small
industries which could be established in
almost any town in the South at a very
little outlay of money, and yet prove OF
much economic value to the community
in which they were established.
This week we wish TO call attention to
another small industry of this nature
that of broom-making. "
Broom-corn is a crop that is very easily
raised, and which pays as we'll if not bet
ter than many other of the common farm
crops. 1t grows to great perfection in
the river valleys of New England and in
nearly all the Western States. 1t would
therefore be a crop we'll adapted to most
lands in the South, especially those lands
upon whichithe common Indian corn can
be raised.
Most of the brooms used in the South
come from New England or from the
States north of the Ohio river. How are
many of these brooms made? In the val
ley of the Connecticut river broom-corn
forms a considerable crop. Many farm
ers who have two or three sons to help
them have little "shop" arranged in
one OF their outbuildings, where all the
appliances for broom-making are at hand
When the crop is ripe it is topped" then
harvested at the proper time. During
the days of the late fall aud winter, when
farm work is slack, the farmer and bis
sons, with perhaps the AID of a hired man
or two, will spend most of their spare time
in the shop making brooms, and thus keep
to themselves the profit which in many
cases elsewhere goes to the broom manu-
facturer.
Probably 5000 would fit up shop ioI
broom making as we'll as any OF These
Connecticut valley farmers have their
shops fitted up. This sum could be
raised by almost any good farmer 10 the
South. Almost any sort of q building
would serve as shop. Every farmer il
the South has abundant lumber at hand
to make handles, plenty of land upor
which to raise his corn, aud any amount
Of unemployed labor nearby. There ap
parently is no reason then why the thrift J
| farmers thould not raise broom corn and
manufacture it. There is plenty of de
msud in every local market tor brooms
and the farmer would not only benefit ir
| the profits of the broom manufacturer
but also in the cost of transporting the
manufactured article from the North OF
West to the South. With cheap land
cheap labor and freights in his favor, b,
ought to make money by establishing
such an industry in connection with BIZ
farm.
The farmer in the South may not tax,
as naturally to peddling the work of thei
hands from door TO door as the farmers o
the North do, and especially the farmer
Of Connecticut, who have such natioua
reputation for peddling abilities, yet they
can dispose of their brooms to the village
storekeeper or to others and still make 6
handsome profit.

An Uneasy Mountain.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. %, 1885,
Flat Rock Is q summer resort in the
mountains in Western North Carolina,
where a number of Charlestonians have
their summer homes. For week or so
the colony has been greatly alarmed by
the frequency of earthquake shocks Some
have been SC severe as to throw lamps
from the table aid break china on the
shelves. As Fiat Rock is 10 the shadow
of Bald Mountain, which about ten years
ago was split open by convulsion, it has
alarmed people in: the vicinity.
A gentleman who has returned to the
city from the locality of the shocks Gays:
-" have spent much time every autumn
In riding all about among the mountains
of this region. Bald Mountain is simply
a pile of broken rock, being surely and
steadily undermined by water. There
are all the Indications of it. Ihave heard
1T said that a subterranean river has been
sounded or discovered near Tryon, N. G.
Possibly it is the same which under-runs
the Bald ,s$sa<a a-
Nov, when the rocky lodges that are
heaped up with only an inch or two Of
support on other rocks wear away by the
action OF the water, great masses of rock
and earth fall, driving and COMPRISING
the air underuea,h, which rushes along,
following the sswaler: courses, large and
small, until it escapes through weak spots
with explosions. The noises heard lately
are distinctly different from those heard
~ the great earthquake of 1887. Then it
was mighty roar, that seemed to fill the
earth and air all around; but these shocks
have been quick, sharp and decisive
more like the firing of. ordnance than any
thing els, and are y, o bseTv in different
places from time to time" s-. .....s......s

The Witd Geese Fly Losc Ouer Louis
viHe.-LoUIsvILLE, Oct. 25.-The largest
fiocks of wild geese noticed in many years
have been passing over this city for sew.
eral days on their annual migration to
the South. Nearly all of these flights
are made at night, and close observers
say that when the wild geese come near q
city they always veer in their fight so as
to pass over it, and fly lower than when
passing through the country. 1t is said
that they are ATTRACTED by the thousands
of lights. Most Of the wild geese which
pass over Louisville fly so low that they
might be shot, if any hunters were out
between l and 6 o'clock a. m. Great
lines of them, wedge shaped and from
twenty yards to quarter Of a mile long,
are seen at times. They were never be.
fore, in the memory of the oldest inhabi-
tauts, so numerous. 1t is said that this
betokens an extremely cold winter.
AT South Louisville, suburb Eve miles
distant, about thirty of the geese were
captured. or killed. These were strag-
glers which had left the flocks, and,
alighting in the trees, were soon sur.
rounded by the hunters. Reports have
been brought in that all tho marshy dis
tricts of southern Kentucky are filed With
wild geese, and that the hunting there
was never better.
