JFall Term, 1888.

Meekins vs Newberry. It is a settledrule of law that when the parties to a eon-tra- ct

reduce the same to writing in theabsenoe of fraud or material mistake pa-role evidence cannot be received to modifyor explain it. But if the writing does notby its terms or nature embrace the wholeagreement but only a certain part of itthen parole evidence will be received toshow suob del twet parts as are not em-

braced by the writing! Yet where thewritten contract appears complete ioitselt,parole evidence is not admissible.

Town of Warreulon vs Arlington. Therelators are those lor whose benefit on anofficial bond action, is brought, sod theconrt will ascertaio from the eomplainlwho they are. Joining the State impro- -

Eerly as plaintiff on an official bond is

A demurrer that the relators are notthe proper parties to maintain the actionin their own right is bad.

Bunch vs Bridgers. In an aotion to trythe title of land evidence of what an ances-tor of one of the defendants said to a per-son whom he forced to move from theland, is admissible as explaining the act ofexpulsion under a claim of ownership, tspart of the res geatsse.

Taylor vs Hargrove. Where a personentered into a contraot for a sale of landwith his nephew, under whioh nothing wasdone for years, and made bis will devisiogone-hal-f of the land to . his said ' nephew,and died, administrator will not be allowedto enfore the contract against the unwill-ing devisee, who has the title to a moietyof the land under the testamentary aliena-tion. The testator must have intendedto exonerate the devisee from liabilityunder the contract, and this intent tconsummated by the assent'of the latter.

Ray fc Bro. vs Hampton. Section 3,-38- 3

of the Code is not unconstitutional.The Constitution of the State oontains lim-itations on and not grants of legislativepower. Albemarle Sound is not subjectto entry and every citizen has liberty tofish thereon under euoh regnlations as thelegislature may establish.

Leathers vs Gray. A devisees follows :"I give to my daughter P. daring her nat-ural life, and after her death, to the be-gotten heirs and heiresses of her body for-ever one-hal- f of three tracts of land" isheld to come within the rule in Shelly'scase, and P. takes a fee simple.

Coor vs Smith. Where one mortgagesland the mortgagee beoomes entitled tothe land and in the absenoe of anyagreement to the contrary becomes enti-tled to all the crops prodaced upon itfrom year to year, until the mortgagedebt is discharged.

Gwathmey vs Savage. Where a de-fendant employs counsel, and furnisheshim with all the necessary data to pre-pare the answer, and the counsel neglectshis duty, the defendant is excused for theneglect. If the counsel undertakes to dothose things whioh properly belong to theclient to do, and fails, the neglect wouldnot be excused; but where counsel omitsto do his own professional duty, thecfjentis excused.

Where the facts involved iu a motionto set aside a judgment are found out ofterm time by consent, the appeal bondmay be filed within ten days thereafter.

Sanders vs Lee. A conveyance madeto defraud creditors is effectual againstthe bargainer, and all others exceptcreditors seeking to subject the pro-perty to their demand and purchasers at ajudicial sale and in the latter case thetitle is divested by snob sale.

One who holds under a fraudulent deedmay recover against a trespasser; and bemay recover damages although the. trespasser attorned to one who had no claimto the land when plaintiff's right of actionaccrued.

One who buys from a fraudulentgrantee for a valuable consideration with-out notice acquires a good title. Onewho alleges fraud, must prove it. Andwhen a purchaser for value from a fraudu-lent grantee demirs notice of the fraud, itrests on the other party to show thenotice.

Fuller vs Fox. It is not permissible intrials in this State involving the genuine-ness of eigoatures to allow the jury forthe purposes of compsrison to inspectwritings which bad been testified to asgenuine. Expert witnesses may be al'lowed to do so, but not the jary.

Yelverton vs Coley. On a compul-sory reference iu an action involving aa long account, the defendant filed "anexception to all the findings oe the issuesof fact arising on the pleadings except"certain particular findings. "And as toall other issues of faot the defendant de-

manded that the same may be tried by ajury."

Held, That a oompulsory reference can-not deprive either party of his constitu-tional right to have the issues of fact triedbefore a jary; but when the report is inand the material issues are eliminated bythe exceptions, the issues of fact thusjoioed by the pleadiogs, report and ex-

ceptions mutt be submitted to a jary ifdemanded in apt time.

While either party has a right bydefinite and specific exceptions to haveany issue ol fact .passed upon by the jury,yet these exceptions must be definite andpresent distinctly eaoh finding of fact bythe referee to which exception is taken,and they must be confined to such con-troverted faots as were passed on or re-

quired to be passed oo by the referee. Ageneral exception is not sufficient.

Mace vs Life Insurance Company. Is-sues ahoild be so framed as to present dear-ly and fairly to the jury the questions offaot controverted but no particular formis requisite and where every materialquestion raised by the pleadings is pre-sented in the issues submitted there is noerror in rejecting others.

The application is, when so made by theparties, a part of the contract of insurance,bat a postal card written subsequently tothe application, and not referred to in thecontract, is no part of the contract of theparties. Nor can a statement that the in-

sured is dependent on the party who takesoat the polioy although, untrue make thecontract void, when such party bad an in-

surable interest in the life of the assured,being a creditor.

It is not error to reject irrelevant' testi-mony.

Instructions must be supported by evidence.

Is there a Subterranean River Runningfrom Virginia through the Carolinas?Chablkstox, Oct. 24. A discovery

which indicated the existence of a subter-ranean river running from the mountainsof Virginia through North and SouthCarolina, has beeu noted in the despatchesRecently additional discoveries seemto confirm this theory. The latest is re-

ported from Black's Station, a town inthis State, almost oo a direct line fromRaleigh, N. C, through Laurens and Ab-beville counties. At Black's two farmerswere digging a well on their farm, whichis on the line of the Cbarlesloo, Cincin-nati and Chicago Railroad. The storythey tell is as follows:

At a depth of twenty feet they strucka lime-ston- e formation which gave out ahollow sound. A few.feet of the stonewas removed and a workman, striking thepoint of a bar into a seam in the rock, wassurprised first, to see a hole open underhim and then to see bis bar disappearfrom sight. The rush of air followed thisbreak through the roof of a cave or cavernwas accompanied by a loud noise, whichcontinued into the next day. The work-men were terrified, and, hastily leavingthe well, refused to return to the work.Later the depth of the hole was attemptedto be measured by the use of a long pole,but it failed to reach anything solid, andwhen dropped gave baok no sound tothose who listened.

A well on the northwest side of Whit-take- rMountain some' years ago was aban-

doned for the same reason the disooveryof a large cavern without apparent bottom.Persons familiar, with the rock formationof this region say they are probably open-ings into one and the same hollow place,extending under and through the moun-tain. Whether this is a cave or a subter-ranean river remains to be proved. Aninvestigation will be made.

Movements of the Washington Monument.

Great care is taken to note the move-ments of the Washington Monument, forit does move. The law of contraction andexpansion of material by heat and cold op-

erates here as well as elsewhere. Whenthe sun shines full on the eastern face inthe moraiog the stones on that side ex-

pand and throw the shaft slightly to theI west. Then the sun goes round to the

south and the apex of the monumentmakes a corresponding swing to the north.As the orb creeps about the sky to its finalsetting in the evening the glittering pointon top of the monument makes a contra-moveme- nt

around half a cirole, graduallyBottling baok to its normal position afterthe rays of the sun have lost their power.This movement has never been calculated,but is undoubtedly very slight. Thewind, too, has an effect upon the struc-ture. From the centre of gravity of theshaft, located 174 feet and 10 inches fromthe floor, is a cross beam from which issuspended a fine steel wire, protected bya galvanized iron tube about four inohesin diameter. This hangs to the floor atthe northwest corner of the elevator well.At the bottom is a plumb bob weighingtwenty-fiv- e pounds, suspended by meansof the wire and hanging in the water. Aniron cylinder protects the instrumentfrom injury, and a little iron house aboutfour feet high keeps off the draught.Through the cylinder is a telescopic eye-piece, in one end ol which are two verticalwires about one-quart- er of an inch apart.When a candle is held at an opening inthe side of the box and the eye is appliedto the outside end of the tube, the plumbline can be seen a fine line between thevertical marks Any movement in theshalt is recorded by a corresponding move-ment in the line. When the structure isat rest, and in its normal position, the linehangs still, midway between the others,but when the shaft is disturbed by theaction of the wind, it swings back andforth like the pendulum of a clock, alwayscoming to rest in the centre. This is ob-

served every day, and if the custodianshould aver notice the line hanging stillat any point outside of the two cross lineshe will then know that the monument hasbeen permanently moved from its levelposition. Until then, however, no oneneed be alarmed by the oscillations of theshaft from the action of the wind or theinfluence of the sun. Washington Star.

Reminiscences of 1867.

For the purpose of refreshing the memory of some who leel d:sposed to followleaders whose slogans is "Down with theWhite Man's party," we oopy an editorialwhich appeared in the Raleigh Standardin 1868. Read it, if you please, and an-

swer where we have been, what wouldhave been the fate of our wives and chil-dren, but for the White Man's party?

Thank God for the White Man's party;and while life lasts the Plant intends tostrive to destroy any party that threatensthe supremacy of the White Man's party.

Here is the advice given by the Ral-eigh Standard to the canvassers of itsparty in North Carolina. Here is thepeace to which we are invited by theeleotion of Grant & Cofax. Here are the ne-

cessities requiring Holden's six thousanddetailed militia. Men of North Carolina,read this insult to your mothers, yourwives and your daughter, and learn thepurpose of the cowardly adventurers whoare now governing your State. Says theStandard:

"But wherever else you work, don'tforget to work among the women. TheConfederacy wouldn't have lasted a yearif it hadn't been for them. One good rebelwomao is worth a dozen rebel men.Go after the women, then. They willmake their husbands shout for Grant andColfax until they are hoarse, if you willmanage to replace some of the diamondrings and laces Frank Blair stole fromthem when he was here and don't hesitateto throw your arms around their necksnow and then, when their husbands arenot around, and give them a good !

They all like it, and the Yankeer you arethe better it takes. Our experience withfemale rebs is, that with all their sins,they have a vast amount of human nature,and only want to have it appreciated tobe the most loving creatures imaginable.Scalawags and carpet-bagger- s, don't fail,therefore, as you canvass the State to lookafter the women. You are all good look-ing and they know it, but with nativemodesty, like New England girls, theylike to be approached first. Don't beafraid of their eyes they glare like youngleopards by daylight, but under the moonno blue death-stricke- n fawn's is half sotender or half so deep. Don't read JudgePearson's letter to them, but give themByron and Shelley in volumes and youwill have them in your arms, if not inyour party in less tbsn a week." 2ur-ha- m

The Synod ol North Carolina met onthe 24th alt., in the Presbyterian ChurohatGoldsboro. A convention in the inter-

est of Home Missions was held. The fol-

lowing programme was adopted by theconvention:

The Rev: J. M. Wharey of Mooresville,was elected Chairman of the Conventionand Rev. C. W. Robinson ol Monroe, wasmade Secretary. The Rev. F. H. John-

ston, D. D., of Raleigh, and the GeneralEvangelist of Orange Presbytery, madethe opening address before the Conven-

tion. The address was highly interest-ing and full of facts of great importanceto Presbyterians and Presbyterianism.

The Convention was opened with devo-

tional exercises, alter which Rev. Alexan-

der Sprunt set before the Convention theHome Mission field, prospects and resour-ces in Orange Presbytery. The Rev. Jas.M. Whan, represented Concord Presby-tery; the Rev. H. G. Hill, D. D., spokefor Fayetteville Presbytery, and Rev. W.E. Mcllwain represented the work ofMecklenburg Presbytery. Rev. P. H.Hoge spoke for Wilmington Presbytery.A map of the State with the boundaries ofthe Presbyteries plainly marked and thecite of each church in the State indicated,so that the oongregation at a glsnoe couldsee the position of each one.

Then followed the discussion of the fol-

lowing question, viz: "Ought there notto be a more equal division of the Territo-ry of the Synod among the Presbyteries?"This discussion led to the following reso-

lution: That this Convention do most re-

spectfully memoralize Synod of NorthCarolina to appoint a committee to takeinto consideration a more equable divisionof territory among the Presbyteries andpublish its report two months before itsnext meeting.

The Synod of North Carolina met at7:30 p. m. The retiring Moderator, Rev.II. Z. Johnston, preached from the text,Aots fifth chapter, 19tb and 20th verses.Sixty ministers and twenty-tw- o RulingElders were present. Alfred M. Scales,Ruling Elder of Greensboro Churoh wasunanimously chosen moderator, the firstRuling Elder ever chosen to moderate theSynod of North Carolina. Rev. C. W.Robinson and Elder John G. Bynnm werechosen Clerks.

The following Directors go out of officeat this meeting, viz.: Drs. J H Smith andH G Hill, and Dr E Nye Hutchison and avacancy occurs by the removal of Rev WS Lacy from the Synod. Your Commit-tee recommends the ofDrs Smith and Hill, and Dr Hutchison,not on account of their previous appoint-ment but because of their known punctu-ality, fidelity and efficiency asmembersof the Board of Directors and they fur-ther recommend the appointment of RevD D McBride to succeed Rev W S Lacy.

It was ordered that a Committee be ap-

pointed with instructions, if the way beclear as to support, to select an Evange-list or Evangelists, fix his salary, and di-

rect his labors until the next meeting ofthe Synod. On this Committee were ap-

pointed Revs J W Primrose, AlexanderSprunt, R B Anderson, D D, H G Hill, DD, P H Hoge, W E Mcllwain, and HonA M Scales, Gen Rufus Barringer, Dr MW Hill, Dr J W McNeill and B F Hall,Esq.

Report on Foreign Missions was pre-sented by Synod's Agent, Rev W S OBoyan. This report shows an encourag-ing condition of this work so far as regardsthe churches of this Synod. The totalamount contributed to this cause in theSynod is $12,000.

The North Carolina Presbyterian Syn-od baa closed its business work. All re-

ports were made and showed that thechurch in North Carolina h in a state ofgrowth. There are in the Synod 122 or-

dained ministers, of whom 90 are in activework. There are 261 churches and 22,-55- 3

members. There are five presby-teries Mecklenburg, Fayetteville, Con-cord, Orange and Wilmington the tintnamed being the largest. The averagesalary paid ministers in the whole Synodis about 9800. During the past year about$43,500 was raised for benevolent pur-poses, about $8,000 more than during theyear previous. There are 51 vacantchurches in the Synod, of whiob the great-er u umber are in Conoord Presbytery.Fourteen churches have been built duringthe year. There are 58 manees valued atover $112,000.

Other matters of routine and minor im-

portance were transacted and the Synodadjonrned to meet in First Church, Char-lotte, N. C, in Ootober, next.

She said She was a Lady.

"I'm a lady!" The speaker, says theJacksonville, FJa., Times-Union- , was notMrB Grady who, according to the soug,was so fond of parading her linerge andaccomplishments, but a big, buxom blackwoman who had come over from New Or-leans among those heralded as of the"Trained Red Cross" persuasion. Shestood in the reception room of the SandyHills' Hospital, and her defiant wordswere addressed to Dr. Sollace Mitchell,the physician in charge. In assigningnew nurses to their duties Dr. Mitchell,when he came to the colored Red Cross fe-

male, very naturally had assigned her tothe charge ol the colored ward.

This was too 'much for big Emily. Shedrew herself np to her full height, tossedher head back haughtily and hissedthrough her white teeth: "Me take chargeof the colored ward! Not much! I'm oneof the leading trained nurses of New Or-leans, and I didn't come here to nurseniggers! I'm a lady!"

"Emily," said the doctor, who has adopt-ed this familiar fashion of addressing hisnurses. "I consider myself a gentleman,but not too good to attend the sick amongthe colored people and do what I cu toalleviate their Bufferings." You may be alady, but your refusal to uurse the siok ofyour own race casts a slight shadow onthe title. Now I'll give yon ten minutesto decide between taking charge of thatcolored ward and going back to New Or-leans" and the doctor pulled oat biswatch.

Emily tried to swallow her pride, but itwouldn't go down, and she said she wouldgo back to New Orleans among "decentwhite folks." She was driven to the sta-tion, but as she had been in an infeotedcity she was effectually quarantined fromgoing out of it. She has been sent toCamp Perry for ten days, where, amongthe campers of her own color, she canstudy the race question at leisure.

HU Although the Supreme Court ofNew York has sanctioned the will of thalate Samuel J. Tilden, the end of the bat-tle to break its requests has not yet come.It will now probably have to go to thaCourt of Appeals, and another year mayeiapse ueiore me trustees can oegin tooarry out the idea of the great free librarythe old statesman contemplated.

To Yonn? Democrats.

We want it brought home to the NorthCarolina voter in this campaign that thehonor and dignity of the State is on hisshoulder; that the glory and good nameof the State has been entrusted to him;and that he is especially on guard to pro-

tect the homes, and preserve the peaoeand happiness of oar people. We want itdrilled into the voters that there is nogreater or grander political power than asovereign State; that there is no higherprivilege or greater honor than to be thecitizen of a State like JNortn CarolinaWe want it understood, among the youngvoters especially, that great danger lurksin apathy and indifference; that the stepfrom peace and good order to chaos anddestruction, is a short one: that this proudold State of ours was once compelled totake that step and only twenty yearsaeo t that and if they are not vigilant.bold and determined, she may be compelled to take it again. The name, thehonor, the welfare of the State; the happiness of homes and the peaoe and prosper!ty rf all the people, are in the keeping ofyoung Democrats. Wilmington Messenger.

Just as it Should Be.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette hasthe following item ol local news:

."The other day, in a crowded SixthAvenue elevated car, Gen. Sherman car-ried a likely young colored maiden on hisknees from Twenty-eight- h to Thirty-thir- d

street. She was snatching at the straps,which were just out of bis reaob, whenGen. Sherman gently seated her on bismartial'knee.

This gray-haire- prominent but verydangerous American citizen, has developed into such a gushing negrophilist thatthere is nothing surprising about thisgallant exhibition of bis tender feeling iorthe "nation's wards." Very zealous during his notorious "March to the Sea' inenticing slaves away from their masters,and in persuading them to reveal the hid-

ing places of money, silverware and othervaluables, he has recently evinced hisgratitude for their war services by an ar-

ticle in the North American Review, uponwhich we commented, in which it is pre-dicted that this oountry must have a warfare of the "torch and dagger" if the negro vote is not hereafter counted to suitGeo. Sherman and his party. GovernorWise of Virginia, bad old John Brou nhung ior no less a crime. Yes, the "duskymaiden" belongs on Sherman's ''martialknee." Greensboro Patriot.

The Right to Naturalization.Two decisions have lately been render-

ed upon applications for naturalization,which are likely to attraot attention. Oneof these decisions was rendered by JudgeDaniels of the New York Supreme Court.Upon a close examination of an. applicantfor naturalization before him and the usu-al witnesses, the fact was brought outthat the applicant was in the habit of be-

coming intoxicated at no great recurringintervals of time, and while in that condi-tion of abusing his wife and family, andthat he had on several occasions been ar-rested and punished therefor. JudgeDaniels refused the application for natur-alization on the ground that the applicantwas net proved to have behaved as a manof good moral charaoter, well disposed tothe good order and happiness of the Unit-ed . States, as required by the UnitedStaves Revised Statutes. He said: "This

' privilege of citizenship has been providedas a reward for good behaviour' and de-

monstrated attachment to the principlesof free government. The design of thelaw is, in great part, certainly to indnoeand secure the of all the per-so- d

s residing in the United States in sup-porting the laws and Constitution of thecountry. But this fidelity to its interestsand progress is not to be expeoted fromand will not be supplied by disorderlyand dissipated persons. Reliance cannotbe placed upon them for the support of theprinciples of free government or the en-forcement of good order or the lawsenacted to secure and promote it. Theycan not therefore be held to be personswho have behaved themselves as personsof good moral character, and without thatth3y are not permitted by the statutes tobecome citizens of the United States." In

' another case which came np in the Phila-delphia Court of Common Pleas, the ap-plicant, a Hungarian, when asked to takethe oath of allegiance deolared that he didnot believe in a deity of any kind and thathe neither swore nor affirmed. His appli-cation was refused. Both these decisionsseem to manifest a tendenoy on the partof the courts to scrutinize more closely thequalifications of foreigners for naturaliza-tion. Bradstreets.
