Marshal, which he displayed here
Monday night, and which has already

good citizens of Durham are now al

summary way Of discharging their
duty.
1t is time for higher government of

If Marshal Carroll has charge of all
these deputies, and sanctions their
bull-dozing way of doing business, and
interfering with the people who come
here to trade or'sell tobacco, he should
be investigated and removed from Of
flee. If he does not sanction it, he
should see that men are removed who
enact such disgraceful conduct as we
have recently had here. The people
are becoming nauseated by such con-
duct on the part of officers who, cloth
