TO ADVERTISERS. e proprietors of THE NEWS and The Con? er find lt indispensable to the accurate and prompt management of their business, and for the protection o? advertisers, that the practice of sending advertisements from one newspaper office to the other be discontinued. They, therefore, give notice that no advertise? ments received at the one office will, In any case, be sent to the other. At the same time they beg leave to request advertisers to hand in their favors at as early an hour aa possible, in order to facilitate their proper arrange? ment_ THE TAXATION OF RAILROADS. Decision of the SnprtiDj Con t of thc Un ?tea States, that a Stale l an not J Tax a Corporation which ls Exempi ed from Taxation by its Charter. m * - xT^ The following desclslon rendered by the United States Supreme Court decides, as we are advised, the question o? the power ol this s State to tax the South Carolina Railroad Com? pany and other companies which, by their charters, are exempted from taxation : The Wilmington and Weldon R Ul road Com? pany, Plaintiffs in Error, vs. Juhn A. Reid, Sheriff, ?cc-In error to the Supreme Court of the 8tate of North Carolina. Mr. Justice Davis delivered the opinion or j the court. This ls a writ of error to the Supreme Conn j of the State of North Carolioa, uod bi logs up the question whether the recent legislation o? the State concerning the collect loa of taxes, ls, as.lt affects the plain tiff in error, in viola? tion of mat provision ol tbe Constitution ol the United Slates, which declares that DO State shall pars any law Impairing the obliga? tion of contracts. As early as 1833, the Gene? ral Assembly of North Carolina incorporated the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Com? pany, for the purpose of constructing a rail? road in the State, and inserted a provision io the charter "that the property of Bald com- j pany and the shares therein shall be ex? empted from any public charge, or tax what? soever." It lias been so often decided by this court that a charter of incorporation granted by a State creates a contract between the State and the corporators, which the State cannot | violate, that it would be a work of supereroga? tion to repeat the reason on which the argu? ment is founded. It is irue that when a cor? ie . poration claims an exemption from taxation, lt must show that the power to tax bas been clearly relinquished by tbe State, and If there oe a reasonable doubt about this having been done, that doubt must be solved in mvor ot the State. (Tne Binghamton Bridge case, 3 Wallace.) If, however, the con traci ls plain and unambiguous, and the meaning of tue par t'es to it can be clearly ascertained, it is the dary of the court to give effect to it, the same aa If lt were a contract between private persons, without regard to its supposed Inju? rious effects upon the public interests. It may be conceded that it were better for the interest of the State, that tbe taxing power, which ls one of the highest and most important attributes of sovereignty, should on no ooo aston be surrendered. In the nature 01 things the necessities ot the government can? not always be foreseen, and In the changes of time the ability to raise revenue from every ape?les of property may be o? vital importance to the State, but the courts of the country are not the proper tribunals to apply tne correc? tive to Improvident legislation of this charac ter. If there be no constitutional restraint on | the action of the Legislature on this eu bj ec t, - there ls no remedy ; except through the iuflu- I ence of a wise public sentiment, reaching and controlling the conduct of the law-muiing power. There ls no difficulty whatever lu this case. The General Assembly of North Carolina told the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Com? pany, In lauguuge which no one can misun? derstand, that if they would complete the work of Internal Improvement for which they were Incorporated, their property and the shares of their stockholders should be forever J exempt from taxation. This is net denied, but lt ls contended that the subsequent legisla- j tion does not impair the obligation of the con? tract, and this presents the only question In the case. The taxes Imposed ure upon the franchise and rolling stock of the company, and upon lots of land appurtenant to and forming part of the property of the company, and necessary to be used In the .succr&sful operation ol its business. It certainly re? quires no argument to show that a ral road corporation cannot perform the functions for which lt was created without owning rolling ? stock .and a limited quantity of real estate, and teat these are embraced in the general term property. Property is a word of large import, and in its application to this company Included ail the real and personal estate required by lt, for the successful prosecution o? its business. If lt had appeared that the company had acquired, either real or personal estate, beyond its legltlma-e wants, lt is very clear that such acquisitions would not. be with? in the protection of the contract. But no such case has arisen, and we are only Cal.ed upon to decide upon the ca?e made by the retord, which shows plainly enough that the company has n?t undertaken to abuse the lavor ol tue L?gislature. ^fjMs insisted, however, that the tax on the *4?9pCcblse ls something entirely distinct Irom the property of th? corporation, and that th? Legislature, therefore, was not inhibited from taxing lt. This position is equally unsound with the others taken tn this ca.-e. Nothing is better settled than that rue franchise of a prl vate corp>ratlon-which in it- application to a j railroad ls the privilege of rauulng it and taking fare and freight-?B property, and ol the most valuable kind, as lt cannot be taken ; for public use even without compensation. (Redfield on Railways, p. 129. fee. 70.) It Is j true it ls Dot the same eon of property as the rolling-stock, road-bed, and aepot grounds, but lils equally with them covered by the general term "the property of the company,". and, therefore, equally within the protection of the charter. It is needless to argue the point further. It | ls clear that the legislation lu controversy did Impair the obligation of the contract, which the General Assembly of North Carolina made with the plaint Iff in error, und lt ?olio we that 'he Judgment ot the Supreme Court must be reversed. Iiis so ordered, and the cause is remanded for further proceedings in conform? ity wltf>this opinion. D. W. MIDDLETON, C. 8. C. U. S. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. Abbeville. The Press says: "The crops aro suffering greatly for rain, and the prospects for large yields are growing less on account o? the very long dry spell we are having. The wheat looks very badly in some portions of the coun? ty. The stand of corn ls not very good, and iTi7 Bland of cotton ls extremely poor and dis? couraging." Spartanburg. The Spartan says: "We have had no rain for nearly a month past, and the crops and gardens have already suffered very much. The farmers complain tbat the cotton has not come up w. ll, and that the oat crop will be a failure li lt does not rain in a verv few days. The appearance at this writing (Monday) ts in favor ol'rain, and some sections of our county were visited with showers on yesterday, A dry season would prove a great disaster to our whole county, inasmuch as very large quantities of fertilizers have been bought, and are to be paid for out of the crop of the present year." Newberry. The Herald says: "A good, nlentiful and gently-descending shower of rain ls needed badly. The parc ned earth and thirsty plant B would joyously drink lt In. Ibo weather has gone from the extreme of wet io that o? dry, and the prospect ls nit flattering. T>*e dry spell now upon us would be good enough for the cotton plant had the favoring season con? tinued a week or two later, so as to have en? abled farinera to get through with their-plant? ing, bfi? many have not finished and cannot now proceed because the ground 1B too impact and dry, and for which reason the seed sown will not germinate." .? THE SOUTHERN BAPTISTS. FINAL SESSION OF THE CONVENTION. The Removal of the Theological Semi? nary from Greenville Determined Upon-A Committee Appointed to Se? lect its Future Site. [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT ] RALEIGH, Sunday, May 12. The various Evangelical churches of the city were thrown open to the convention, and were served by prominent ministers. Ser? mons of remarkable power were preached in the Baptist Church by Dr. Fuller, of Baltimore, and by Dr. Dixon, ol Georgia. Dr. Winkler, ofBouth Carolina, preached In the First Meth? odist Church. Dr. Jones, of Tennessee, In the Presbyterian Church. Dr. Curry, o? Virginia, in the Tucker Hall, the use of which bad been kindly offered by the proprietors. It was a j curious eight, afforded by that afternoon ser? vice-a venerable and dignified array of min? isters seated upon the stage, with the halt circle of lootligbis In front, the curtains above, and the half-pasted and varied sones betiind. We venture to say that very lew ol these g.-n llemen had ever before found tbemsetves amid such sun on nd i ogs The Sabbath exercise*, conducted by these and oiher pn-achrrs, were veiy cordially re? ceived Dy the people of Raleign. 'lhere was also au interesting mass meeting ot fie Raleigh suuday-schools iu ihe afieruoon. Dr. Randolph, of PenoHjlvauia, one ot the speakers, gave a b<liiiunt and beautiful de? scription or Hie Sea of Galilee, which will long linger as a grateful memory in the minds ot those who heard lt. Dra. Boyce and Broadus, of south Carolina, also gave acceptable ad? dresses. There was a service in the Insane Asylum at 3 P. M. by Dr. Land ru m, of Tennessee. Tne colored churches were also suppliei, In ac? cordance with their request, and large audiences were gathered in them. MONDAT, May 15. The convention assembled at nine o'clock, Bars nant to rule. Auer prayer, byiheR*v. r. Toy, ot South Carolina, and the usual re? ligious exercises, ihe convention proceeded to consider the report ou domestic missions, presented by bs chairman, Rev. Dr. Dargan, of south Ajarollna. The ?talement ol tue ueot ot the board was given, aud it was urged that prompt and vigorous measures must be takrn lorita relief. Dr. Sumner, the corresponding! secretary, followed Ina touch.ing8iraiD.**He described the difficulties ol ttie board nn-in. from the many and various applications made io them, and ihe tearfully Impover abed HMI? of ihe country. At least filly thousand do lars must be raised, unless come lmportunt stations mav be given up. Io cout.ection with the report on Indian missions, an address was made by Rev. X. X. Buckner, missionary to the Creeks. J)uat nation now numbers about th'rteen thousand seals, about fifteen hundred ol' them BaptisiB. Two-thirds of the Seminoles also beloug to this denomination. An ot pt ?au asylum and Baptist schools should be established. There are Indian students In colleges of Kentucky and Missouri. The Indian country ls healthy and fertile.. The people feel that they must be civilized or perish. Mr. Buckner spoke with great power. A collection lor thia cause was taken up There was also an animated discussion as to the relations of Church and State, arising from the offer of tue Creeks to contribute a certain amount of money lo the denomina'lou for the support ot the schools lt may esiabll-h among them- Toe suosldy was finally ac? cepted. The Sunday-school board was commended to trie favor of me denomination and s spirited and successful collection was made to relieve the remainder of the debt now resting upon it. The demund made by Dr. Graves, ot Tennessee, for the return ol the stereotype plates given to the board by the Baptist S-n day-sohool Colon, some dozen years ago, was referred to a special committee. AFTERNOON. The report of the committee on deceased missionaries and secretaries was handed ?u by Rev. Dr. Broadus. ot Virginia. A beautlti.. tribute was rendered oy Dr. Jeter to the mem? ory of Rev. Robert H. Pritchard, one o''the deceased missionaries to China. He was a young minister of unusual prom se. Several reports, that on the Cniua mission, that on European missions and that on the future Han Ol the foreign board, were all en? couraging, and conspired in demanding an Increase of missionaries and an extensic a ot the field of evangelic labor. . Dr. Jeter, as president of the board of trus? tees of the Southern Baptist Theological Semi? nary, reported: Besoloed, 1. That lt is expedient to remove it from Greenville. 2. To avoid complication with existing ins ti muons of learning. 3. Un? der these restrictions, the only points open are Louisville, Nashville, Chattanooga and Atlanta, 4. The proposals are not sufficiently definite to enable the board to select a site ut this tim13. 5. There should be an endowment of at least $300,000. 6. That the question of selection be lett open until August 1st, 1872, and until then the parties Interested may con? tinue their subscriptions und perfect Hie r ar? rangements. 7. That a committee ot seven oe appolived on or about the 1st of August, 1872, to v.sit the abr-ie locailibs. inquire into amount of subscription, validity ol tb les, ex? amine property, ?c.; that a majority of the committee shall be empowered to select a site, and make arrangements for a removal. 9. Next session will oe held at Greenville s. C. He also announced that Professors Boyce and Will i iams will change their chairs, and Brot ber Whltsett was elected assistant proies sor. A spirited debate arose on the report on the greaUst need ot our people-the Hoi y Ghost. The com ?nit tee recommended the appoint? ment ot a day of last lug and prayer, and teat tne day be tne first Sunday in July. Dr. Jeter recommended the first Thursday uot. remom I bering that this ls tne ?tu ol July. Dr. Whin? ier urged that neither of these days was sea Bunabie as a day ot tasting, and recommended that the day shou'd be one of thanksgiving, almsgiving and prayer. The recommendation prevailed. NIGHT SESSION. The concluding session opened at eight o'clock. The committee on permanent lu vested funds reported, recommending that hereafter all Investments be made in public securities, and whatever private securities are now held be converted Into public se? curities. The time and place of next meeting were fixed inion, Tue convention will reassemble at Mobile on Thuvs?ay before the second Lora's Day, in May, at ten P. M The preacher of tne c invention sermon will be the Rev. Dr. T.G.Jones,of Tennessee; alierna>e, W. M. Wingate, D. D., president ol Wake Forest Col? lege, North Carolina. Dr. wi uk 1er made an appeal in behalf of the Rev. Thomas Dawson, the oldest minister of the convention, whose means bad been Well nigh exhausted in reaching this point. A lib? eral amount for his travel.lug expenses was speedily raised. Mr. Dawson has been fifty turee years a minister of the Gospel lu the Baptist denomination. The committee upo- stereotype and plates recommended the re 'nee of the whole sub? ject to the Sunday-school board at Memphis. An interesting report on ibe appointment ri Bible women tu perform missionary work in connection with the former appointees of the convention. After some discuxsiou ihe report was amended and adopied. Several other re? ports of minor importance were also adopted. At half-pa-t eleven o'clock, Dr. W. F. Broadus, ol Virginia, closed the exercises by prover, and the delegates gave each other the paning hand. The convention has been a euccessiul one, having performed a great deal ol work, with very liti lo inc ion. Several of its leading members, however, kept from its sessions by the prolonged deliberations of i he seminary board of trustees, to which they be? longed, and who were engaged In perfeciiug a plan fur the removal of the institution from Greenville. A committee will, on the first, of the ensuing August, Bet forth to visit Louis? ville, Nashville, Chattanooga and Atlanta to fix upon the new site. The committee con? sists of seven, one Jrom each Slate, with Rev. Dr. Jeter, president of the board, as chair? man The representative of our frtate.on that important occasion will be Thos. P. Smith, ?sq., of Charleston. GOLD! GOLD: There's Magic In the Sound. [From the abbeville Press.] Abbeville ls destined to become the Califor? nia ot 8outh Carolina. G 'ld Is the watch? word of this age. Our county abounds In rich mineral deposits, flue water-power and good land, and we are glad that new discoveries are being made. On Mr. Jacob Miller's plan? tation, eight miles from this place, valuable specimens of gold ore have been lound, and everything goes to show that the amount of gold la large. Mr. Miller's plantai lon ls situ? ated on Lone Cane Creek, Dear Little Motin ta n, and consists ot very rica and productive land. Tne mine ls about four hundred yards from the creek, the water-power ls immense, wood is plentiful, the place is easy of access and lt ls, In tact, a place well su'.ted to the wants and wishes of the miner. Mr. Miller proposes to prospect the ground limber, and we hope to hear favorable accounts In a short time of vast treasures unearthed. NSW YORK FASHIONS. Spring and Summer styles. lu the majority of spring suits the double cape bas been retained, but, nevertheless, the handsomest suits are made with the close fit? ting basque; this Imparting an elegance to the figure which by no other means is attainable? Some of the new linen suits are made with a sack and talma and a single skirt ornamented by two fl maces, very deep, and very scant; the sack belted in, forming another flounce. F<.r the street, a small i alma Is added. A suita? ble trimming Is linen lace. But most common? ly worn will oe the polonaise, in simple style upon the street, and Indoors, very diessy and bo; i ff mt. For ordinary occasions, linen, pique, wttsn satins, striped cambric and baitlste will be worn; f?r more dressy, grenadine, organdy, damask ganz* and the various styies ot sum? mer silks. Damask gauze Is a material of re? cent Introduciiou, exceedingly transparent, aud sprinkled with satin flowers. For even. lng wear also it 1* very desirable. For travel? ling, pongee, goat's bair, und Tussore silk are to be recommended. IQ southern climates, nothing is S J pretty lor summer w- ams white. Suits of va> lous materials In this can be very advantageously ornamented with the differ? ent kinds of *lsiaudard" trimmings which are brought out expressly for this purpose, readily made and ssvmg thc expense and time neces? sary lor ruffllog, puffing, tucking, &c" by hand or even with a macmne. EVENING WEAR. Tunics for evening wear are made of white mus In, clear or spoiled, and trimmed Valen? ciennes lace. They are almost as long behind ns. the overskirr, and draped In such a way as to throw all the fulness at the back. A pret? tier trimming is a flounce put on with a head? ing and edged on each side with Valencien? nes lace. In front the bodice is crossed like a fichu, the sleeves half open, and finished with a deep frilling to correspond. Bows tne same color-as the underskirt are a pleasing orna? ment. Lovely polonaises are made ol damask gauze, long, very bouhan*, and open In over toe underskirt. Light silk of any pretty color is best tor the skirt. DONNETS AND HATS. With the spring costumes or cashmere and MIK which are now so fashionable, dressy bon? nets ot silk or lace, or ot silk and lace com? bined, are worn Streamers, however, are rapidly belog donned, and are In great variety; gay for tnose who desire lt, and grave for m.iBe of qulei tastes. In shape, bonnets aod hats are lu many cases almost Identical, and a pair of strings may nutuutrequently transiorm a round bat imo a bonnet. Two styles ot trimming are seen, both equally fashionable; the ornamentation placed in front, or the front plain or encircled by a band only, and the trimming massed at the back, bom flowers and ribbon. This later style seems most prev? alent, and ls especially true In regard to the round hat. Coronets of daisies and other favo i lt" flowers are frequently saen placed ou the high front of spring bonnets, or a large rose ou - one side, wlih a trailing spray or grasses falling behind. Wild flowers are again lo vogue, owing probably U) the influence of tue gay coquettish Dolly Varden, which in dry good? ls the rage at present. The Doily Var? den hat ls much worn by young miles. It Is a kind of gussey, the brim lined wlih Bilk and turned up at the back. It ls trimmed with loops of ribbon and loog ends. A spray of English roses ls placed on one side; sometimes another smaller one under the brim. OTHER NOVELTIES. The flowing sleeves and dresses worn open at the throat, which are now to much seen, have given rise to Burne novelties In the way ol ornaments for tue neck and wrists. A necklace and wristlets ol black velvet are fas? tened with small gold buckles brought out for that purpose. They are In sets of three, an inch and a half long aod an Inch wide. CollaretieB of black velvet are also seen slightly embroidered, and ornamented with white giM?iire lace. They are cut open at tho o-ck and extend to the waist In front, where they cross and terminate In the pointed tab, set off by a bow. They may be worn witn plain dresses, of cash? mere goats' bair, or serge, but will alio give style to costumes of thin material, particularly whites. Fancy aprons are very fashion-' le, made In the tiner qualities of white t jds and prettily trimmed, or of black silk embroi? dered with chenille or floss ellie In natural colors. ARRANGEMENT OF THE HAIR. The bair is usu illy arranged simply in chat ellne braid, for wulcb, on dressy occasions, flowing curls may be substituted. Again, the hair may be brushed ott the temples and rais? ed over IrlZettes. and the plaits fastened at the back by a large lor oise shel; comb. Young ladies wear bows of rlboon or flowers, with pendant grasses and spray*. Married women most frequently wear tne Alsatian bow.

GUYOTS TAR CONCENTRATED PROOF LIQUEUR Mr Guyot has succeeded in depriving tar of its insupportable sourness and bitterness, and in rendering it very soluble. Profiting by this happy discovery, he prepares a con? centrated liqueur of tar, which in a small volume contains a large proportion of the active principle. Guyots tar possesses all the advantages of ordinary tar-water without any of its draw? backs A glass of excellent tar-water without any disagreeable taste may be instantaneously obtained by pouring a teaspoonful into a glass of water. Any one can thus prepare his glass of tar water at the moment he requires it. thus economizing time, facilitating carriage and obviating the disagreeable necessity ol'hand? ling tar. Guyot s tar replaces advantageously se? veral more or less inactive ptisans in the treatment of colds, bronchitis, coughs, and catarrhs. Guyot ? tar is employed with the greatest success in the following diseases : AS A DRAUGHT. - A teasponfal in a glass of water, or two tablespoonfuls in a bottle. BRONCHITIS CATARRH OF THE BLADDER COLDS OBSTINATE COUGHS IRRITATION OF THE CHRST PULMONARY CONSUMPTION WHOOPING COUGH DISEASES OF THE THROAT AS A LOTION. - Pure or diluted with a little water. AFFECTIONS OF THE SKIN ITCHINGS DISEASES OF THE SCALP Guyot's tar has been tried with the greatest success in the principal hospitals of Trance, Belgium, and Spain. Experience has proved it to be the most hygienic drink in time of epidemics. Detailed instructions accompany each bottle Depot ia Puis, L. FRERE, 19, rae Jacob.
