to arm one class of citizens to the exclusion ol the other. Any white company, composed ol law-abiding citizens, if organized under the requirements of the law, will be accepted. II the State militia now is mostly black, it is because the whites do not organize. His Honor reiterated the statement that the fears of the people were groundless. Threats of violence, on account of recent events in York couuty, come with bad grace from any of its citizens. While former organizations of colored militia of York county had, no doubt, acted imprudently, not one instance of violence committed by them had yet reached the Courts. In conclusion, he said no organization shall violate the laws with impunity?either the military, or any secret combination?and while he did not fear the existence, as vet. of a secret organization, he instructed the grand jury to enquire if such organization does exist in the county, and in their presentment to give the result of such investigation. After delivering the above charge, and dismissing the grand jury, the Court adjourned until 3 o'clock, P. M., when the grand jury returned true bills against Wesley Thomasson, colored, for assault and battery ; Thos. Douglass, colored, for grand larceny; and Samuel B. Hall, late Probate Judge of York county, for neglect of his proper duties as a public officer. The case of Thomasson was continued. Douglass pleaded guilty to the charge of larceny and was sentenced to pay a fine of 820 and costs, or three months' imprisonment in the penitentiary. Ou Tuesday two more indictments were returned by the grand jury against S. B. Hall, and also a true bill against George Welsh for murder. Henry Hogue and Hugh Warren were arraigned on the charge of having received and purchased stolen cotton, knowing the same to have been stolen. A nol. pros. was entered as to Hogue. Warren was found guilty, but up to the time of our going to press had not received his sentence. The trial of Hall was set for to-day. PUBLIC MEETING. Black's Station, July 4, 1873. A number of the citizens of the northwestern portion of York county met here to-day to consult and adopt measures, if possible, to rid themselves of some of the burden of taxation caused by the arbritrary action of the County Commissioners who have, without the consent of the citizens of the same, subscribed 8100,000 to the Narrow Gauge Railroad from Chesterville, in this State, to Lenoir in North Carolina. A. Hardin, Esq., was called to the chair, and R. E. Porter requested to act as Secretary. The chairman explained the object of the meeting, as he understood it, to be resistance to the levy of the tax by a trial of all peaceable and legal means, and compared the present time to this day niuety-seven years ago, when that celebrated Bill of Rights was promulgated. If they, for the tax of oue penny a pound on tea were justifiable, how much more are we for resistiug, by all peaceable means, the unprecedented action of our County Commissioners ? A number of others were called upon to express their views upon this important subject, all of whom pronounced this action of the Commissioners arbitrary, unjust, unconstitutional and without a precedent in the annals of this country, and denounced the principle of taxing the masses for the benefit of the few, especially when it was done without their consent, and they groaning already under the weight of taxation. Among the speakers J. R. Logan, Esq., of Cleveland, N. C., was called, who, in a very forcible manner, explained the result of county taxation for railroad purposes as exemplified in his county. On motion, a committee of seven was appointed to draw up resolutions to express the seutiments of this meeting, viz: W. \V. GafTney, H. Martin, Jos. Austell, L. W. Osborn, M. L. Ross, II. D. Duncan and T. P. Black, who withdrew a few moments and then reported the following, which were unanimously adopted : Resolved, In the sense of this meeting, that the action had bv the Commissioners of this J county, imposing a tax of 8100,000 on the citizens of this county for the purpose of building the Narrow Gauge Railroad from Chesterville to Lenoir is oppressive, unconstitutional and unjust, and for the purpose of testing the same, we will join with other citizens and employ counsel to carry the matter before the proper tribunal for decision, and aid in meeting the expense of such proceedings. Resolved, That the chairman of this meeting appoint two gentlemen as a committee to confer with others interested in employing counsel. Resolved, That the Secretary of this meeting send a copy of these proceedings to the Yorkville Enquirer and Rock Hill Lantern and request their publication. The chairman, in accordance with the resolution, appointed L. W. Osborn and Ira Hardin the committee of correspondence. The meeting then adjourned subject to the call of the corresponding committee. A. HARDIN, Ch'mn. R. E. Porter, Secvetary. From the Newton Vindicator. .. CHESTER AND LENOIR N. G. RAILROAD. meeting of stockholders. Iu accordance with previous notice, the stockholders of the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad met in the Court House at Newton, N. C., on the 10th of July, 1S73, and organized by calling Col. J. F. iloke to the chair, and requesting Capt. John Justice and M. E. Lowrance to act as secretaries. On motion, Col. M. L. McCorkle, of Newton, V. A. McBee, of Lincolnton, and H. C. Hamilton, of Lenoir, were appointed a committee to verify proxies and report amount of stock represented. The committee reported 2064 shares of stock represented in person and by proxy? that stock entitled to 621 votes, being a majority of the whole stock. The committee heretofore appointed to confer with Maj. G. \V. Melton, v? regard to the purchase of the King's Mountain Railroad, or its consolidation with this company, reported through its chairman, Dr. Davega, that they had discharged that duty, and gave at length the terras on which Major Melton would sell his interest in said road. Whereupon Col. McCorkle introduced a resolution that the directors be authorized, in their discretion, to accept the terms and complete the contract with Maj. Melton. This resolution was discussed at length by Col. McCorkle, when, on motion, the meeting adjourned to 14 o'clock, P. M. The meeting reassembled at 14 o'clock, and resumed consideration of Col. McCorkle's resolution. After some discussion, the resolution was adopted. A series of resolutions was then adopted, in substance as follows: _ 1. To empower the President aud lJirectors to effect consolidation. 2. Authorizing the Board to change the gauge of the King's Mountain Railroad, and to sell the old and purchase new rolling stock suitable for narrow gauge track. 3. Authorizing the location of the road, the letting of contracts, and giving preference to county stockholders. Col. Hoke was then called out, and advocated the building of the road in a forcible speech, which had a telling effect on the people present. Maj. A. H. Shuford, of Hickory, was next called out, and made an able speech, pledging the support of Hickory in favor of the enterprise, and showing the ability of the people to build the road as a matter of economy. Maj. Harper, of Lenoir, next addressed the meeting, giving cheering reports of the prospects in Caldwell. He said his people were determined to have communication with the outside world, and warned the friends of the M Narrow Gauge that if it failed, the people were determined and would build a road to Statcs, I ville, for they had resolved to "come out of . the wilderness." Maj. Faucette endorsed Maj. ; Harper's remarks. On motion, the proceedings of the meeting were ordered to be published in the Newton I i Vindicator, Hickory Press, Lincoln Progress, i , Chester Reporter aud Yorkville Exquikkk. : On motion, a vote of thanks was then given < the chairman and Secretaries, aud also to the Newton Hand who had entertained the audi- j once with splendid music. Oil motion, the meeting adjourned. J. F. HOKE, Chin'7i. John* Justice, \ Secretaries M. E. Lowkaxci:, j *ecretanes' State Taxes?An Impohtaxt Decision. 1 A decision has been lately rendered by Judge i Graham which has an important bearing upon j the question as to who is liable for the pay-, " * . .i t ! I meut of tuxes upon real property mat may i have been sold. The circumstances of the j case are as follows : D. B. Gilliland, Esq., | referee, sold and conveyed, under order of court, a lot of land to B. D. Lazarus on the i 23d of July, 1872. Mr. Asher D. Cohen, solicitor for Mr. Lazarus, the purchaser, claimed that the law making July 1 the day when returns of property for taxation are calied for, had changed the day whereon the ownership fixed the liability for taxes as between seller and purchaser, and that the estate ofGadsden, for which the referee had sold, being the owner on the 1st July, 1872, should make return of this property for the taxes of 1872 and should pay them when called for by the treasurer. The attorneys for the executors of Gadsden (Messrs. yinionton and Barker) contended that the A. A. 1788, which is as follows, has not been repealed, and is still of force, viz: "And all taxes on real or personal property which shall be sold and conveyed on the first day of October next, and after the aforesaid first 1ay of October in each and every year thereafter, shall be returned and paid by the seller thereof, any law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding." They also claimed that neither the changes of the day when the fiscal year begins and ends, nor the change of day when returns of property are called for, can, by implication, change this positive statj utory enactment. Judge Graham ruled that, in the face of positive enactment, the construction of brokers and others based upon analogy and upon the theory of repeal by implication, could not prevail, and that until the act of 1788 above cited is actually repealed, the seller who sells and conveys before the 1st of October, although after July the 1st, is liable for the taxes of the year.?
