Superintendent Nesl oftlie Slide jcoiteu.t.ary is being Lauied over the coals for i dsmanagemeut cf the affairs oflhcpeuicutiary. A legislative committee is investigating the matter and they will doubtless flud the crooked work if ihcic lias been any. Last Monday was the a"i>ivers3<y of Jeueral Lee's birthday. It was celebrated hereaud there throughout the South, at bolus places simply by a public ho'iday and tba closing of public otlices, and at others by public exerciso, pandes pud banquets and speeches.

General Mnrtiucz Campos la o commnnler .f the Spanish forces in Cuba J, has been te illed by his government because he was i.et able to reduco the Cuban pat riots to a submission to Spanish misrule.

The Davis rcsoluiiou covers tlio case. It tells to all tho world whore wo stand, and g.ves shyloeks to understand that they w '1 not be all. wed to compass by fraud what we li ive prevented the in from doi'ig by force. Mr. Suukib' bill to regulate the attend, anoe of the County Trcasu;er at couvcuicut points in the couuty to receive the taxes, is a good one and should be passed. It provides that the Ti cusurer shall attend at such convenient aud safe points as the Couuty Commiss'oucr ntay direct. Tti s will be a great convenience to tbc taxpayers who live at a distant trom the county seat. It is rattier a hardship un the people of North l'ucolet, for ins.nucc, and other distaut poiuts for each oue to have to cotne fifteen or twenty miles to p?y their taxes whett it I would be bo easy lor the treasurer to get it | till, or a onsi'Jeabio part nt lea l, at ouo 1 trip, Tde oil law embodyiog the main features of the pre seat bill was doubtless repelled beciuse of the tuurder of Treosur cr Copes of O augebttrg Co. That was a very a .d au 1 a very unfortuuite affiir but it bardly justified the repeal of the siutu'c. So far as we kuow that was the tirat timo such a thing litis ever occurred iu the stato Murders and roboeties are perpetrated oc* emtio naPy a'most everywhere; aven on our great railways trains arc occasionally stop , ped and sackeI, but no ouo woull think of j discontinuing them on that account. So we j ought net to ruptire every "iuu in the county i te c .in a'l the way to lue Treasurer just ' because one man was ki led iu otto couoty for the inmey he was supposed to carry. The Titas titer's do not mind taking the trip over the county. Iu fact Treasouer Hartles says he rather likes it, t! ugh be acknowledges that he lias see. "skittish" times witett going the rounds with a former trnis. ttrer. lb course a great tnauy of the we l-to-Jo pcop'cfroai a" pi?*ts of the county will always pay their lax at the Treasurer's oflica here. They want to conic to town anyway of,en on other busi.orss. It is not for there tlinl wc fivor the statute, but for th? poor people (c whom it is h pfratinconvenicice to hate to innkn a two mile trip, and whoso Iimo and labor is heir living.
