A Reporter for The News and Courier yesterday afternoon called upon j ]$?r. Samuel Lord, of counsel for the ; State hi the famous railroad tax case?, and asked for a statement concerui-ng i what action the S'tate would take in re I gard to those cases; Mr. Lord said : Bills to enjoin the taxes of ?891 were Sled by eight railroads. All of these canes were tried by demurrer in the United States Circuit Court. In this I mode of trial the State for the argument on the demurrer admitted every fact that is well pleaded in the bill. Among other facts admitted were two ?poa. I which the cases of the railroads rest: First. That by rufe of assesseiment adopted and concurred i<o by all the county boards of assessment throughout the State, all real and personal' property in the State was assessed at an amount : not exceeding 50 or 6*0 per ceut of its value. Second. That the board of equaliza? tion knowing of the existence of this rule, assessed all the railroad property in the State at more than its actual value, with the intent to cast a greater proportion of the burden of taxation upon the railway companies than was right. The Court at the trial iiast April overruled these demurrers. In effect the Court said if the facts stated in the bill are true the roads are entitled to have the disputed part of the tax enjoiued. It gave the treasurers, however, leave to answer over so that they might have the right to dispute these facts. In two of the cases, the Northeastern aud Central of South Carolina, the treasur? ers declined to avail themselves of this right and these oases were taken by appeal at once to Washington. The Suprerae Court directed these bills to be dismissed on the ground that the amounts involved were below the juris? diction of the Circuit Conrt. Having decided that the Circuit Court had jurisdiction the Supreme Court could not go on and decide the main question in the case. The effect of the decision wa?, however, to elimiuate tbtse two cases from the controversy, as i to them the decision is final and they have paid the taxes. ! The ca*e brought by the Charleston, Sumter and Northern Hoad was aban? doned. In the other cases, those instituted by ! the Wilmington., Columbia and Augusta j Railroad and the Richmond a>nd D-an ; ville Railroad, the counsel for the State did not think it prudent in new of the ' large amounts involved to concede th? i facts stated iu the bills, this they would have been compelled to do had they ap : pealed at this stage Instead of ap? pealing they answered denying the existence ot the rule contended for by the roads. Uuder this pleading the cases must now be sent to a reference, before whom both sides will have an I opportunity of introducing e^ideace. When that bas been done the cases wiil be tried by the Circuit Court ou the testimony taken, and frota- that decision the State will have the right to appeal if the decision is adverse. I intended, concluded Mr. Lord, to move at an early day for & ?eference of this case to a Master to take testimony touching these matters, so that these cases may be argued before budges Goff and Simonton in the United States Circuit Court.-News and Courier Feb 2?. The Fight Goes on. Randulh Tucker Emj?oyed Lij; the State. WASHINGTON, D. C , Feb. 22. Since Senator Irby's arrival here yesterday morning the railroad situ? ation- in South Carolina has beet) give? a new impetus. lt is no longer confined to South Carolina, but is being freely discuss? ed about the Capitol. Evidently the conditions are growing interesting, if not serious J. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, the renowned constitutional lawyer, was telegraphed for last night and will reach here today. Au agree? ment has been made by which he wti' become the loading counsel for tho State. As the Supreme Court has taken a recess until the first o?

Hamp:oo was here a few days agu I had a conversation with him relative to the political affairs of this State-. Ile said that the action of the State authorities io conoectioo with the railroads had aroused a very strong feeling of opposition to Governor Till? man and his followers throughout the State which may result i'U the organiza? tion of a .. v powerful opposition to the Governor. This sentiment is not con? fined to any particular sectiou of the State and if it continues to grow and prosper, a-s it has during the last two weeks, there is a very strong probability that Governor Tillman and his followers will be overthrown at the next election I afterward met Senator Irby and i asned him if he was aware of the feel? ing of discontent tha-t existed in his State in consequence of the railroad cases-. He replied: "There are a lot of Reformers in the party who are prominent in the opposi? tion moverxent who have never been at heart in sympathy with the present Administration ot the State. From what I hear they are undertaking to censure Governor Tillman for bis ac? tion in these cases. We have known that these Reformers have been riding on our train for some tfme past, with the expectation of getting oS at the first station where they would receive welcome. The Administration can square all of that sort and still live and prosper. Governor Tillman is- right io his brave effort to enforce the law of the State against belligerent and rebellious corporations. No man ever enjoyed the confidence of tire- people as Tillman has. He has been open, hon? est and courageous, and has the ability to lead the present movement to permanent success. The cause of the opposition to him i- nothing more than the con? tinuation of the anti-element conducted by the same people and a few renegade leaders. Nobody will be deceived by them, for our people understand all those kind of tricks."-News and Courier. An Outside View. Those South Carolina sheriffs who obeyed Governor Tillman and seized the cars and locomotives of railroads in the hands of receivers appointed by judges of the United States courts, got themselves in a ?x. They were fined $500 apiece yesterday. Now the Question arises, will they have to pay that fine out of their own pock? ets ? A prominent Atlanta lawyer says that the State is not bound for the fines. Nor can the sherifis hold Governor Tillman personally responsi? ble. Ile made a mistake and pro? ceeded itt the wrong way. Ile should have directed the attorneys to go into the United States courts and petition the judges to compel the re? ceivers to borrow money and pay the taxes or allow a levy to be made. The supreme court of the United States rolled itt the ease of Custis Lee, who sued to recover Arlington, that when officers of a State or of the United States exceed the authority of the law, they are not acting as officials of government, but as individuals, and are individually liable. The United States govern met is not liable for the acts of even the president, if he exceeds his authority.' This attorney thought that probably the state legislature of South Carolina will come to the relief of the sherfis and make their fines good. Then the State will not much more than come out even, for it will take out a large part of the taxes collected from the railroads to pay the fines imposed OB the erring shexif?s.-Atlanta Cou stitution. - - ?- ???,?

We are not apprised of the scope of the testimony which will be adduced and do cot know if it will be confined to rebutting the testimooy already taken by Mr. Watson, or whether it will carry the war into Africa and show that the election methods of the third party were as objectionable as those complained of by them.

When the federal courts decide in his favor, that amounts to ocular demonstration of his iuborn and inbred foresight and justice. When the federal courts decide against him it is tyranny or ignorance. Of course it is. Tillman says so and what he says goes, fie is always He can "cuss'' out laboring men, the judges, including Judge Pope slander the "factory class" becam is a privileged character.

There seems to be an element i latent dissatisfaction among 'che colore people of the State over the fact tb? there are still white ministers in the chutrches and white teachers in the: schools. The colored people, and e pecially those in the cities, are of th opinion that they can manage then selves, and if they caunot they want t ;have the opportunity cf making th : failure. The colored churches are all prett generally in charge of ministers of th complexion of the congregation, am now the effort is being made to replac the present white teachers in th Simot'tou and Shaw schools by colorei teachers. The idea has been brewin, far same time, and the promoters of th change, the Rev. Rowe, Prof. Jacob and others, think that the time is ript for action,. The meeting that was heh the other night at Plymouth Churcl was for nothing more uor less than t< give expression to this idea. It wa: not so much to get a new school build as to clear the present schools of theil competent white instructors. The prime mover, the Rev G. C Rowe, was peen, and he candidly said that thc matter would be agitated until something was done one way or another. "We shail ask and continue to ask for the change/' he said-, "ll shall be heard, whether directly or indirectly" There is uot, he admitted, any objection to the present mode of instruction or to any of the present corps of teachers. Our objection, is that the white teacher is not in sympathy with thc colored child and cannot draw out the best that is in the child. There is, I think, sn inspiration to a colored child when taught by one of his own color. He has something to which be kuows that he can aspire. Ile is not afraid cf coosultntiou with his teacher. "Under thc present arrangement colored teachers have no opportunity of ?oin 2 to stand examinations. They are given to understand that they aro not expected ?o respond to the invita? tion for applicants for examination. All r.hr.t we want is that our educated youth bc allowed to stand tho examination If they are not competent why let. them fall through. We simply want an equal showing. lu Atlanta, Savan? nah, Columbia, and other Southern cities the colored schools are entirely manned by colored teachers. There are about t hit ty teachers employed in ; the two schools of Charleston, j As to the school building thc Puaok j lin street building is wanted. The j present school facilities are said to be : too few. Children, it is claimed, I have to bo turned away from the lower departments, j There is no denying fha existence of ( this feeling in Charleston. For years j .'there was unn st among the congrega-I ' tion of Centenary Church because a \ ' white minister. Dr Dutton, presided ! ' there. There is now a better feeling ' there since the Kev. E. C. Browo, a colored man, is there. Here is one ot the many waj9 in which the congrega? tion showed its feeling : The Kev. J. ET. Wilson was paid $1,350, the Kev. E. C Brown is getting $1,000, while Dr. Ditton is said to have received only ?600. The African Methodist Church, with about 70,000 members and 200' ministers, bas no white persons on its pay list, and the Methodist Episcopal Church has only two white members iu its conference, Dr. Dutton and the Rev L. M.Dunton, president of CUflin Uni? versity. The church recognizes that a better man than Dr. Duutoo could not possibly be found.-New9 and Courier How to Grow Tobacco. At our req-uest in August, 1891 , Mr. J. M. McMiehad, . : rammer' field, N. C., wrote us his methods} ot' curing tobacco, whieh was printed in tire Journal on the 22'd of that month. Knowing Mr. McMichaei j to be one of the most practical and successful planters i ci the State, we are not surprised that Iiis article attracted wide attention among plan ters at the time and that his plan was j quite generally adopted by ou*- read- ! ers. One large planter remarked some ? days ago that after leading Mr. Mc Michael's article in the Journal, j lie proceeded to cure the balance of his crop according to the plan, and succeeded in curing the entire bal? ance with great success. The widespread attention which the plan received has induced us to I reproduce the article, lt is here? with given in fal lr No one can tell another just how to run the heat or how to cure tobacco,, unless he be there in person throughout the time of curing a barn of- tobacco; for there is a great deal of difference ir* the kinds of tobacco-some yel low, some green, some ripe, some light bright,, some heavy, some thin and smooth, some thick and coarse so that the eui er must be governed by the tobacco itself Too much beat in drying the leaf will scald or ! scorch it through and through, while j not enough heat will redden the j leaf on the inside. While drying the j leaf my plan is to run the heat as fast j as possible without scalding or scorch ing, j As soon as my barns are filled with tobacco from the fields, at sun? set, or before I retire for the night, I build fires in my flues that will run the heat to 90 degrees, and I make sure the heat will not get over 90. This heat will cool down so that by morning the battis are about cooled off again. When I build fires sufficient to run the heat up to 90 degrees again, I go to work at something else for the day-to town on busi? ness, or anywhere I may choose. Re? turning at night, I build fires again to j 90 degrees, and continue building j fires at 90 each night and morning j until my tobacco is yellow three or j tour inches tip the leaves from the? tips, j Then 1 run-the heat up to 110 } stand j at 110 with doors and bottom venti? lators open, for one hour ; raise the heat lo 120, and stand at 120 till the j leaf is cured one third its length on the bottom tier ; raise to 130, and stand at 130 till the bottom tinr is about cured ; advance the heat to 140, and stand at 14) five hours.

My reasons for letting the heat up and down while yellowing is three-fold. 1st, the tobacco has time to die and will stand the heat in drying better, j and does not begin to dry before it is j yellow. 2nd, 1 have time foi other work or business. 3rd, I get more j time for rest atid sleep. Some say it ? is not best carry heat to over ISO j degrees.

The announcement of Mr. Carlisle's appointment as Secretary of the Treas? ury iu ihe new ad ministraf ion and of his acceptance has been made of?ycially'. The objection that will occur to many minds is that it takes the foremost?' Democrat out of the Senate. Mfr. Carlisle has been in public life ai Washington continuously fer ?fteen> years, and has- been a growiog mao during that time, and is so still lier has been speaker of rire Bouse and Senate, and has secured suck' a hoid on the confidence of his State that he might remain- Senator for a-n indefinite period if the call of duty did not take him elsewhere A constitu? tional lawyer of high order by inclina-? tion and training, he tW nevertheless-' gained high rank in- the science of finance by study and debate, so that he uow hold's without dispute, the first place among his Democratic colleagues. It is much to be regretted that he can? not be in the Cabinet and in that legislative body at the same time, as party leaders are in the parliementarf governments of the old would. The motive which led Mr. Cleveland to the choice of Mr. Carlisle fur the Treasury was probably the netrd of having some? body ii? that position who was not only well versed in the principle? of finance^ but who had also great influence and authority a> a party leader. In the latter respect Mr Carlise is second only to Mr. Cleveland himself Mr. Carlisle is earnestly in favor of the' repeal of the silver purchase law. His* antecedents-, his character and h?3 locality ere pucb that nobody, not even the watchful governor of Oregon, will* take him for a "tool of Wall street rr Whatever course Mr. Carlisle shall? follow, as regards both currency and: tariif, we- may ali rest assured will be; the one which a statesman of intelligence and experience houestly deems best int the whole country. - mm mi- -lim - A Great Day in Charleston CHARLESTON, S. C. Feb. 22. Charlestou put on all her bravery today in honor of the birthday* of George Washington The Cit-" adel semi-centennial celebration and' Fourth Brigade inspection' and parade^ divided public attention:: The cadets ushered in the day with av salute of twenty live guns, in honor of the Governor and board sf visitors. The parade of the corps of cadets, es? corted by the Washington Light Infant" try, at ll a. m., was a brilliant spec* tacle. The Governor, the mayor anof the board of visitors rode in carriages. Arriving at the Grand Opera House the soldiers were drawn up in line, and tba' Governor, the board of vistitors and* iuvited guests descended fro? tbe car? riages and marehed past then* in review, and entered the opera house. The Governor looked very strafing itt a light tan-colored overcoat, the Ocala?' black hat and a pair of dark colored" trousers. He u arched immediately be-' hind the band, on the arm of Gen. Huguenin, and stepped out as dashingly as did the unfortunate Sheriff Nance be*" fore be purged himself The exercises, which consisted of the"' reading cf an ode by Maj. Cummings, ar.d the reading of Col. John P". Thom? as's historical ad-dress by the Kev. Dr. Ellison Capers, lasted a-bout two hours aud a half, and were witnessed by aof audience which taxed the seating;' capacity of the opera house. Greatly to the disappointment of everybody, the Governor left for Colum? bia on the afternoon train, refusing ta" remain over for the banquet. The btigade parade took place in the*' afternoon, and, as usual, was a hand? some military pageant Several of the' companies appeared ia new uniform, notably the Carolina Rifles and the Moultrie Guards. Adjutant General' Farley and M j >r General J. W. Moore did the reviewing, assisted by a bei!-' liant staff. Tonight the banaftet of the Citadel alumni is in progress at the Charleston Hotel, while half a dozeo military balls" and collations are ia progress.

According to the dispensary law, the' report of the dispensary comaii>sioners was made to the council at the meetvng: of that body recently.

The report was received and the plan of di>tribution of the profits will be determined upon by the mayor or ordinary, lt. will probably be accord-" tr.ff to the ratio of taxation between city and county.
