THE ACID PHOSPHATES. The northwestern part of North Carolina is probably as rich in minerals as any region of the world. AmoDg Its treasurers are rich lodes of sulphurretted copper ore. At Ore Ivnob, in Asbe county the deposit ot copper is almost unprecedented. From a recent letter in the New York Tribune we learn that in the first ten weeks of its opening over 1,500 tons of ore of 25 per cent were extracted by 14 men ; in other words, the labor of these men produced daily during that time over 10 U00 pounds of copper in the shape of a 25 per cent ore. This, at the present price of 27 cents, is worth $2,700, pnd its conversion into ingot copper and shipment to market would still )?ave a net profit of over $2,000 a day. This remarkable deposit of over a mile with a breadth of from 12 to 15 feet, and it is not too much to say that, if the future developments of the mine, when shafts and galleries shall permit an adequate number of miners, are at all commensurate with the present working results, it will be uurivaled in the history of American copper mining. A company has lately been organized in Baltimore for the working of this great miae, and preparations n*e being made for the reduction of the ores on the spot and also for the construction ot a railway about 40 miles in loncrtH tn meet the Virginia and 4U 4VM5?j ? w Tennessee Railroad near Marion. The advantages offered by a great deposit of very rich ores, like those of Ore Knob, are enormous, but it must not, however, be supposed that the raining of low-gra le ores is unprofitable. Many of the low-grade copper ores are like those of JDucktown, rich in sulpKhr, and this, though there allowed to pass off into the air, is in other regions a substance of great value. In the shape of sulphuric acid it forms the starting-poiut of the great industries of tin soda-manufacture and of mineral feitilizers. The native sulphur beds of Sicily formerly supplied the wovld, but the chemical maoufac. tares of Great Britian are now inde. pendent of this source, since they find a more advantageous supply iu the l<eds of su[phuret of iron and copper of Spaia, from which more tbao a half a million tons are annually shipped 10 England. These ores when burned in proper kilns yield from 33 to 40 per cent or more of sulphur in a form fitted for the making of sulphuric acid ; while from the residues a portion of copper amounting to two or three percent is extracted with profit, leaving behind a valuable ore of iron. The profits of this industry are enormous, and the demand for sulphur ores in Great Britian is daily increasing. The great success of the Tharsis Company, which has1 hitheito controlled the trade in Spanish sulphur and copper ores, has led to the organization in London of a new company, the Itio Tinto, with a capital of ?'2,250.0 0 sterling. It proposes to construct a railway of fifty miles, to the sea coast in Spain, and to ship yearly 500,000 tons of sulphur ore upon which the profit is estimated at ?775.000. Large quantities o" the sulphur thus brought from Spain into England are used for the treatment of the phosphates of South Carolina which .are shipped to England for the manufacture of fertilizers. The value of these mineral manures for our soils isbecomiug more aud more understood, especially for the cotton and tobacco crops. The production of superphosphates iu the works of Charleston, this year is about oO.OOO tons, for the manufacture of which 5,0UU or 11,000 tons of uative sulphur are imported from Sicily. Large quantities of the crude phosphates are from Suu:li Carolina to the coast of A'ew-England, where they are treated, as at Charleston, with the acid made from Sicilian bulphur, and the product is sent back to the cotton lands of the South. It mav well he asked, why do not our manufacturers imitate the example of the English and substitute the sulphur ore or pyrites for the native sulphur of .'.icily Y The answer is easy. Available deposit; of pyrites suited for the purpose ait: not accessible. For many } ears manufacturers of acid iu the ^ icinity of .Now-York have drawn limbed supplies of sulphur over from the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, aud from Vermont, and to-day a similar ore is brought from near Itichmoud, Ya , to lTrilaielphia, there to treat ? the South Carolina phosphates and I convert Uiem into fertilizers, which are dea'iocd for the Georgia market. The Vivians, great copper smelters of Swansea, ia Walea, manufacture yearly some G;>,U00 tons of fertilizers, or more than the entire manufacture of Chnrl.-ston, from the waste sulphur from their copper ores, and the sulphur which goes to waste this year in ]) ick'.own would, if converted into sulphuric acid produce as large a quantity. Why then, it may be asked 18 not this valuable product utilized ? pimply for the want of communications. A mountain barrier, traversed by no railroads, stands between this precious deposit* of sulphur ore and the mineral phosphates of the coaet of South Carolina. Were these two more accessible, the one to the other, the value of both would be greatly enhanced, and the benefit to Southern agriculture would be immense. That this desirable conjunction will be one day realized there is little doubt, the more so as recent investigations indicate that the deposits of natural phosphates in South Caroliaa are practically inexhaustible. DIRECT TRADE. Nelson Tiff, of Savannah, has been speaking in the principal cities of the south-west in favor of direct trade between Europe and the south Atlantic ports. He has asked the merchants to pledge themselves to import and export through a steam line which he says will be established from Liverpool to Savannah. Of course we endorse all he says about the benefits arising from a direct communication between our section, and European markets. But he has taken advantage of of our friends ot the interior in asking them to pledge themselves to import only through the line of steamers which he hopes wili be established with the port of Savannah. That no line of European steamers can be profitably run to either I Savannah or Charleston is a self evident fact. It is not from any lack of energy or enterprise on their part. It is simply a physical impossibility. No steamer of sufficient size to pay can go to the docks of either port. Ocean stuimers of small size cannot be profitably run and those are the only kiuds possible for a trade with Savannah. The only harbor on the south Atlantic capable of competing with northern ports is Port Royal. While Savan , nah and Charleston are talking about the depth of water on their bars at hujh tide, we can offer a port where there is a greater depth of water than either at low tide. The shipmasters and owners of the world are better informed than the audiences which Mr. Tiff lias been addressing in the interior. They know that a steamer large enough to pay cannot come within ten miles of the docks of Savannah and cannot cross the bar of Charleston at all. If there is a necessity to develop direct trade between Europe and the South-west, there is but one point to J which it can como. Nature has decided that Port Royal harbor will be that poiDt because there is no other. The Delinquent Land Sales, Newspapers and lawyers in several counties of the state are discussing the question as to the right of the owner to redeem land sold by the auditor for del1 inquent taxes. The comptroller lias dcI eided that suoh lands cannot he redeemed, but we think he is decided y wrong. A writer iu the E Igcfielcl Advertiser very thoroughly examines the whole qusstiou and comes to the fbllowiug conclusion : The only law in force, in regard to the assessment and collection of taxes, aud the redemption of lands, sold by the County Treasurer as delinquent is contained in the Revised Stitutes made the Statute law of the State by Act of Feb. 10, 1872. Wc use this date as that by which the Secretary of state declares that this Act became law by virtue of the Constitution of the State, without the approval c? the Governor, Pamphlet Act, 1872, p. 37. The conclusion irresistibility follows that no sales of alleged delinquent lands by the county treasurer, are valid, and no deeds conveying them carry any title, unless both transactions are in in strict accordance icith laic as above contained Chief Justice Marshal has said ''That no individual or public officer can sell and convey a good title to the land of aroth er, unless auth"r:zcd to do so, bv express law, is one of thoso self-evident pronosiM-liif.li f)ir> mini! nsscnfs without hesitation; and that the person invested with such a power, must pursue with precision, the course prescribed hy law, or his (let is invalid, is a principle which has been repeatedly recognized in this court." Thatehher vs Powell, 6 Wliea, 71 y. Another authority decides that "so strict indeed are the decisions in reference to this class of sales (tax sales) that it has been said that a tax deed is prima facie void. ' 4 Swedes A 31., f>2S; cited in iliackvillc on Tax Titles, p. 35. Another authority decides " that the officer authorized to sell, must act in conform ifg with the law, from whence his power is derived, and the purchaser is hound to inquire, whether he has so acted. It is therefore held to be a condition precedent to the passing of the title at such sales, that ull of the proceedings ?>f the officers who have anything to do with the listing and valuation of the land, the levy and colection of the tax, the advertisement and sale of property, Ac., must he in -trict compliance with the Statute authorizing the sde." lllackville, 34 and t he numerous authorities there collected. "The validity of a tax sale depends upon the authority of the officer to sell, uL, 33-4. "The power to impose a tax, on real estate ami sell it, where there is failure to pay the tax, is a high prerogative, and should never he exercised iu doubtful cases,*' id 33. "As a matter of public policy tax sales should not he sustained unless the laws are | shown to be have been complied with. V I id.. 47. f Tlieso tuthorities are sufficient to show 1 the disposition of the courts in regard to I tax saliv. and will satisfy any rational man tbat s^ oil sales are nullities, unless | every requisition of the law is observed. [ Mow for the tax sales of the county treasurer lor the year iS73 for the taxes ! of 1872. Supposviy that ibe assessment of real estate has been made according to the provisions of the constitution, and laws iiv pursuance thereof, has the county treasurer sold delinquent lands duriDg J the year 1873 in accordance with law, for if he has not, then all such sales arc null and void? The onty intthorify under which flic oonoty treasurer could make such sutcs i* that eonktuietl in the HtCscJ Statutes. Tit. 3, chap. 13. 11 is sales were made under Sec. 4. of the A. A., Feb. 12, 1872, which in this re-nect is a special lot. and relates to, and only authorizes ale-, of lands for taxes due for the years l86.8-'9'7(t-'7J, and which were required lo be sold the first Monday in June, 1872 After such sales, this act in respect tQ sales of delinquent laud by the county treasurer was m authority exhausted, and from thenceforth inoperative. The sales of delinquent lands in 1873 having been made under the void Act of March 12, 1872, are consequently null and void, and even "bonajule ' puichasers canno take any title under them. It is only necessary to examine the lievised Statutes, Tit. 3, chap. 13, in regard to the collection of taxes, with the A. A., 12 March, 1872, to reooguized the correctness of this position. From the above remarks, and citations the followiug conclusions of law are established 1. That the only law re/rulating the assessment and collection of taxes is to be found in the Revised Stats., Tit. 3, chap's. 12 and 13. That the A. A., March 12, 1872, is not in force iti regard to sales of land for taxes dive tor the year 1N72. 3. Th^t no certificate of purchase Sv'ing under this act i* legal a"d no eed executed by the County Auditor conveys any title to purchasers at such sales. A careful reading of the arguments in the case has convinced us that the owner has two years to redeem lands sold as delinquent. We go further. We believe I that the whole business of these land sales in this county have been so badly botched by careless and incompetent officers that not a single tax title acquired from the state will stand as sufficient in case of a contest before a court and jury. There are many white people and many more colored people being daily fooled into bujing such worthless titles. We have warned them repeatedly, and we warn them again, that they are throwing away money for the benefit of speculators. Don't buy any land without a careful scrutiny of the title. Better Times Coming for the South. The cotton statistics of the crop year just closed have been compiled with unusual care and completeness by The Commercial and Financial Chronicle of this city. The crop of 1872 foots up 3,930,500 bales of the average weight of 404 pounds each. This crop has been surpassed only three times, viz: in 1870, in 1859. and in 1850, leaving out the year 1801, of which we have no statistics. It thus appears that of the four crops known to have exceeded 3,900,000 bales, two have been made since the war. Again, we find that the average crop of the six years 1855 to 1860, inc'usive, was 3,800,000 bales, while the average of the three years 1870 to 1872, inclusive, is 3,750,000 bales. The crops of 1853 and 1854 were each less than three million bales. These figures, we submit, amply demonstrate that free labor is quite as effective as slave labor in the production of cotton. As the capital of the south iucreascs?and it certainly is increasing II U.ll k?k1.. k?.,.> ir> 1 rapidly W (J MIUU piuuuuijf ua*t w ivwiu a .?erics of cotton crops far surpassing in bulk those of the ante-war period. The cry of Mr. Wells and the Free-traders, that the cation's povoity appeared from the fact t lid * the people were con suiuing lower yards of cotton clotli per head than in tiic years Wore the war, has hardly died away, and already the statement has ceased to be true. It never was an argument; for wi;v should men be called poorer because tficy have restricted their consumption of an artiu'e which has doubled in price ? The statistics now show that in the three years ending Sk'pt. 1. 1X73, 3,500,001) bales of cotton were taken from the crops for manufacture in the United States, while in tho three years ending Sept. 1, 1X61, the corresponding quantity was 2,743,000 bales. The increase is 703,000 bales, or twenty-eight per cent, but the increase in consumption is considerably larger than this, owing to tho loss of the greater part of the export trade which we had succeeded in building up before the war. A very gratifying feature in this increaseis the progress which the manufacture is making in the southern states. The editors of The Chronicle obtained from Mr. Walker, the supcrintcndant of the census. a list of all the cotton manufacturers in tue south, as collected by the census marshals in 1X70, and sent inquiries to each of theui in order to obtain their consumption iu 1X73. The result is that it was found that these southern manufacturers, who were reported by the census to have used 83,056 bales, 36,500.000 pounds of cotton in 1870. required, in 1X73,137,662 bales or 60,500,000 pounds, beicg an increase in three years of sixtysix per cent. The information obtained by The Chronicle is confirmed h.V the accounts of the progress of tins manufacture contained in our southern exchanges. Frotn them we learn that fne mills at Columbus. Gn., took 7,4:JS bales in ]872-3, against 5,1127 in 1870-1. Three more lactones will be nuilt there next year. ?ud the number of spindles and looms? at present 32,000 spindles and 000 looms ?will be more than doubled. The mills at Augusta, (ia., for the last fix years have paid quarterly dividends, at the rate of 20 per cent per annum, on their capital, and have carried each year large sums to the reserved fund. The Augusta company is now building a new mill, which will add 7,000 spindles and 204 looms to the 16,000 spindles and 522 looms already in operation. Its consumption of cotton in the year ending .June 7, 1873, was 2,901,100 pounds, and the product was 9,082,717 yard* of cloth, weighing 2,525,094 pounds. The number of hands employed was 503, and the aggregate of wages paid during the year, $164,720. The dividend was $120,tHH), being 20 per cent on $600,090, and $19,314 07 were carried to the reserved fund, which now amounts to $307,704 06. It will he seen that the financial condition of this mill is a strong one. Outside of New England, New fork and Pennsyl : - *lw? ..??!? ct.ifnj U'liioli Yilllia an: nun uiu unit nunvn niuvii rank above Georgia in the manufacture of cotton, while in pro| ortion to her population Georgia outranks both New l'ork un<l Pennsylvania. Tiio foregoing statistics show that the influence of had government in the southern states has been overstated. In this country bad government manifests itself, sooner or later, in the shape of oppressive taxes, and the only southern states which arc oppressively taxed are South Carolina and Louisiana. A state debt ou which no interest is paid can have no material effect on production, and of this kind are the debts of North Carolina, Arkansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, and, in great part, of Alabama, Florida i and Louisiana. What disposition the southern states make of their debts is ho concern of ours, so long as they do not attempt to saddle them on the general government. For a generation at least, we of the state of New York have maintained numerous bands of thieves at Albany, along the canals and railroads, and in all our chief cities, yet still we have prospered. We should put a stop to the stealing, noverthe'ess, and so should the people of the south, for whom we wish as. I urge a shure of the blessings of prosperity and honest government as we do for ourselves. i' Tribune^ ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION. ] STATE OF NEW YORK, 1 [-8.8.
