T II R WESTERN DEMOCRAT, CII ARLOTTE, N. C. 1. W.J. YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CHARLOTTE, IV. C. September 25, 1SGG. Xi;v Goods. It will be peen by our adver ting columns that the Merchants of Charlotte &re receiving their Fall Stocks, and are ready to -.m--.lv the public at wholesale or retail. It would bo well for country merchants to give this market a trial before going further. Our mer chants are determined to sell at low figures. VW By an oversight, a part of our issue this week i dated wrong on the outside. The Cokn Trade. The Norfolk Day "Book, in view of the reported scarcity of corn in central and western North Carolina, says : "We have already pointe.d out to our merchants the wide field open to their enterprise in Western and Central North Carolina, by the destruction of the corn crop. We say destruction, because the withering effects of the long protracted drought have been so severe as to render that term v- fit description of the actual condition of affairs. Hut, dismissing any further inquiry into the causes of failure, the fact that the crop is i-hrt is indisputable, and is as plain as it is tnel uiidu'ly. In this-direction, then, our merchants will find it greatly to their advantage to make ar ranjrements to supply this heavy deficit. Our attention has been again drawn to this subject by the remarks of our friend, the Charlotte Democrat, .which expresses the trust that the merchants of that place will "make arrangements" to supply that market with corn from lialttmore or Norfolk. We L"Id to the belief that in our present struggle to regain our former prosperity we should not wait f-r the Charlotte corn dealer to .call upon us, hut should lay before hiw the advantages in econ omy and speedy delivery tf his purchases to be found by opening negotiations with Norfolk. Let our merchants remember that when the dream nf the lean kine was t-dd, the man who could point its meaning and the means of providing iciiinat the t-hort crops of the Egyptians, made hi fortune." The Newborn Times also remarks : "The Norfolk merchants are already being directed to this field of enterprise and are being urged by the Day Book not to wait for Charlotte to .-end greetings to Norfolk for corn, but to send the corn along at once and have it cribbed, ready for the buyer whenever he makes the demand. This is, decidedly, business like, and our mer chants and railroad managers should at once take a hint, seeing that we have an Egypt in North Carolina (Hyde county) and can supply all de mands for corn without allowing our people to go to Virginia for bread." So wo thi,iU our people may make up their minds that there will be plenty of corn in this s'-ction for sale. And if our friends in Norfolk and Newborn will send a little money along to l an t people to buy corn with, it will bo fine and make things comfortable and easy. At any rate, the corn will be here. I3f We publish some lengthy extracts from the late speech of Don. Thadeus Stevens, delivered fit .Bedford, Pennsylvania. Mr Stevens is the leader of the radical Congress, and we think it right to h t our readers see the programme he murks out for dealing with the Southern States, lie appears to be a violent enemy of the South, and his declarations and threats have caused con siderable apprehension in the mauls of Southern people, but whether he will bo able to execute his revolutionary plans remains to be seen. We do uot think he will succeed, unless Providence has decreed that Pepublican Government is a failure and that this country shall be ruled by tyrants and usurpers. In the meantime, let us all keep cool and remember that "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Killed. Mr Samuel Peid, a man considerably advanced in age, was killed near this town on Thursday evening last. lie was on his way home a;i l was riding in a wagon, and in an attempt to get off or jump off he fell and broke his neck. It is said he was intoxicated at the timo of the fatal accident. Z1T The Raleigh Sentinel and Index, in reply to our article last week about using the State Capitol for public Concerts, Lectures, &c, say that there is no other suitablo building in Ral eigh, and that the officers of the Capitol have "felt obliged, owing to the condition of the city, to admit lectures, concerts, &C, for strictly be nevolent purposes," aud that the parties who use the Halls bear the expense of lighting, cleaning up, iVc. We are aware that it has been no un usual thing for the Capitol to bo thus used; and the present State officers are no more to blame than their predecessors; but precedent does not always make right. The Sentinel says that a public Hall is in process of construction, and in timates that when it is completed there will be no necessity for using the Cupitol for concert purposes. We are gratified, therefore, to be lieve that the bad habit'is to be discontinued. Fire Wood. The establishment of a Wood Yard in this place by Dr. J. M. Davidson will be of great advautuge to the citizens iu the winter time. It frequently happens that the demand for wood is greater than the supply, especially in very cold weather, and prices go up beyond the reach 'F the poor. Dr. D. hopes to remedy this by keeping a constant, regular supply, at one price. Orders for wood should be handed iu at ouce. Imtortant Decisions. The commissioner of internal revenue has decided that where a tax for grading streets, Arc., is assessed by a municipal corporation, under municipal or other publje laws, and payment thereof is made compulsory, the tax payer is entitled to deduct the tax so paid iu re turn of his income. We find the above in our exchanges, and, if it be true, some of the citizens of Charlotte will bo entitled to a considerable deductiou in their in come tax paid to the Government. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

EcoxoMY.-Notwitbstanding the Raleigh Sen tinel talks a good deal about the importance of practicing economy in pubiie matters, it will not agree to -a fittle wholesome retrenchment being commenced by abolishing tho offices of State Geologist and Adjutant General. Wo contend that, considering the times and peculiar circum stances by which we as a people are surrounded, and our inability to pay heavy taxes, tho offices of Adjutant General of Militia and State Geolo gist might be dispensed with. The Sentinel thinks that those officers are necessary that the Militia ought to be re-organized and the mineral wealth of the State made known. If the Militia were allowed to act and could be used for the protection of the people, it might be well enough to re-organize it, but we feel assured that a State organization of that kind will not be permitted to discharge its "duties without being interfered with by U. S. military officers, Freed men's Bureau officers, &c. It would be wasting the time of our farmers and laboring men generally to require them to attend militia parades and drills. If we ever regain the rights and privileges of free American citizens, then we can organize the militia, and then we will be better able to pay the salary of an Adjutant General, however use less such, an officer may be at any time. But the Adjutant General -of North Caroliua has been in office several months, and wo liavo yet to hear of the first militia regiment being organized. We think that officer shows his good judgment in de laying the matter and not requiring the people of the State to waste their time in burlesquing mili tary organizations. The office of State Geologist has already cost us about 8100,000, and if it has benefitted the State Treasury to one-eighth that amount we should like to know how and when. It may have been of some use to land speculators, gold-mine brokers, and itinerant traders, but we deny that it has either benefitted the people generally or the State Treasury. The Sentinel says that the laws of tho State provide for the appointment of such officers, and therefore it was Gov. Worth's duty to appoint them. We never alluded to the subject for the purpose of injuring Gov. Worth or to blame him neither do we censure the gentlemen who fill the offices mentioned (they are as good, if not better, than their predecessors) but, as a matter of right and economy, we suggest that the offices ought to be abolished, or the Legislature direct that they shall not be filled until the State is better able to pay salaries. In justification of the large amount of money given by tho State to the College at Chapel Hill, tho Sentinel says that "the obligation upon the Legislature was just as imperious to keep it in operation as in the case of tho Public Schools." That may be, but if one is assisted why not both?. Wo know that the Treasury is not in a condition to re-establish our Common School system, and neither is it in condition to donate thousands of dollars to the Chapel Hill College. It is said that if some of the useless appendages of that in stitution were cut off, and a little more economy used, it could .be kept in operation without ap propriations from the State Treasury. An effort, no doubt, will be made to induce the next Legis lature to place under the contrel of this College tho large amount of land (or its proceeds) which has been given to the State by the Federal Gov ernment to establish an Agricultural College. For one, we are opposed to such a disposition of that fund. In theory, the Sentinel agrees with us about tho importance of practicing economy, but when we suggest tangible modes for lessening expen ditures, the Sentinel objects and will not co oper ate. Now we should like to hear some eugges tions from the Sentinel as to how expenditures are to be reduced to suit the impoverished con dition of tax-payers. More economy is absolutely n cessary. We know that it is sometimes considered dem agogical and a bid for office to talk much about economy., but we can honestly say that the people have no office within their gift that we want or would have. The people of this section know that we are "above suspicion" in that respect. "If the land owners of North Carolina refuse to dispose of their lands, they will act, we think, to their own personal injuiy, as well as to the detri ment of the State at large. Tho sale of a tract of one or two thousand acres in alternate sections of fifty or one hundred acres would greatly en hance the value of the sections retained. Indeed, to refuse to do so would be suicidal in the pre sent crippled condition of the State. We are confident that such a policy will retard the growth of that or any other Southern State; and we trust that this subject will enlist the examination of her enlightened citizens, and result in the advocacy of the policy of small farms, and the encourage ment of a thrifty population to settle and enter upon the improved cultivation of her productive lands, which we regard as essential to Southern prosperity." Norfolk Day Hook. The above is well and timely said. It will cer tainly be to the advantage of land-owners to sell off small tracts to those who will improve and cultivate it. In this way the staple productions will be increased, the vulue of land enhanced, and prosperity diffused among the people gen erally. It is high time that the owners of land were aroused to their true interests. Times have changed, and large landholders cannot and will not be the wealthiest class. If men would think charitably of each other if each man would give every other man credit i for being as honest as himself, we might look for ; a better state of things than the signs of the times j portend ; we might anticipate at an early day a subsidence ofthe angry and dangerous storm that now seems gathering to whelm us in anarchy and national ruiu. Then would cease the bickerings, the criminations and recriminations that now fan the flames tf sectional hatred and mar the fair visage of public peace. Raleigh Index. That's so, but some men show the rascal so plain that it is impossible to think charitably of them ? However, it would be better for all to be more charitable than they are. and bickerings and crimination and recrimination ought to cease, at least until we get through our national difficulties. If one mau thinks mother dishonest it is not ac- f tually necessary to publish it to the world, or raise a great fuss about it. Let the good seek to improve the bud by a correct example and pru dent, moderate counsel. The people of the South will not make much by quarrelling with eachother. m Attorney General Stansberry has given a written opinion that President Johnson has power to fill vacancies in the recess of the Sen ate, without any limitation as to the time when they first occurred,. j Ex-President Davis. Letter-writers for j Northern papers differ as to what is to be done with Mr Davis. Some say that he will be re : leased ou bail this Fall without being tried, whilst j others declare that he will soon be brought to trial. A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from Fortress Monroe, says : "Mr L. II. Chandler, TJ. S. District Attorney for the District, and, by virtue of holding this position, the prosecutiug attorney against Jeff. Davis, in tho trial of the latter set down for next month in Richmond, leaves on Monday for Wash ington, to arrange the programme of the trial on behalf of the Government, in case it is decided to try him on the indictment presented by the Grand Juryof the United States Circuit Court of Vir ginia, aud pursuant to the adjournment of the court-at its last session. From what I can learn from Mr Chandler and other sources the question of the trial is at present involved in a good deal of mystery. The preponderating belief indeed is that there will be no trial; that Mr Davis, at the coming session of the court, will be admitted to bail, to appear at such time as he may be called for, and that this will be the end of the whole affair. Others assert that between now and the appointed tivas of trial Mr Davis will be either specially pardoned by the President, or the same result accomplished by a general am nesty proclamation embracing him and all re maining unpardoned rebels of the late war. As for Mr Davis himself. I am most positively and authoritatively assured that he desires uo interposition of Executive clemency in his behalf, but a speedy, full and impartial trial, and that he stands ready and anxious to abide the result, whatever it may be." OP A great many people are anxious to know on which side of the controversy between the Presideut and Congress, Gen. Grant stands. The question is not definitely settled, but the N. Y. Post tries to throw some light on it as follows: "General Grant has authorized a writer, whose letter appears in another part of this sheet, to make a statement of his views on public affairs. It is to the following effect: That", next to the President, he is the head of the army of the United States not the leader of a political par ty; that he does not consider the army a place for a politician; that he will not permit himself to be committed to any party, and that the army shall not'ia made a political machine."

Tho Methodists of Richmond, Va.; have adopted the following resolutions : "Whereas, The General Conference, of the Methodist li. Church, South, at itB late session held iu the city of New Orleans, did, with great unanimity, adopt a plan lor the introduction of the laity representation in the Annual and General Conferences of the Church, and did or der that the eaiQ should be submitted to the several Anuual Conferences for a three-fourths concurrence, that it might become the law of the church, we, tho members of the Trinity Station, in the city of Richmond, Virginia Con ference, in the regular church uieetiug assem bled, do hereby wish to express our views, and sentiments upon this great question; therefore, Resolved, That we hereby express the earn est wish, that the several Annual Conferences at their approaching sessions, may give the re quired three-lourtbs vote in order to make tho plan proposed by the General Conference the law of our Church. Resolved, That, in our judgment, the failure of the Annual Conferences to adopt the plan, which has received the saoction of the General Conference, would be followed by sad and disas trous consequences to Methodism ic these Southern States. Resolved, That we cordially approve of the change proposed in the name of our church, substituting Episcopal Methodist Church, for Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and hope that it nisy ha the pleasure of the several An nual Conferences to sanction the change by tho required vote. , Look Out. A number of young men were indicted in Craven county for disturbing a re ligious congregation by whispering during Di vine services. Attendants at church in other places besides Craven county would do well to look out, if whimpering in chuich is an indict able offence. Raleigh Judex,. If whispering, or laughing, or jestures in church are not indictable offences, they are, to say the least of such conduct, evidences of bad breeding No person of decency should enter a "church" and make jeers, laugh, or make him self, or herself, disagreeable to the congregation, or to the minister officiating. . Fall of a Great Man. Coming down Chestnut St., St. Louis, one day last week, writes a correspondent, I was struck by the appearance of an old man, past sixty, who wore a threadbare coat, shiny with constant wear, and whose hat was bruised, aud seedy. II is head was bent to ward the earth, and his walk was a tottering shufile, the effect of whiskey and old age. lie reeled from one side of the pavetneot to the other, and at last brought up against a lamp post on the corner, when a young hooking loafer sa luted him with ''Halloa, Jim! Come and take a drink." The old man's eyes brightened, and arm in arm, he sauntered along. to the nearest groggery with his companion. Five years ago that old man was James Green, United States Senator from Missouri, aud in the days of the Kansas and Lecouipton matters he was, next to Stephen A. Douglas, the ablest debater in Con gress. But the war broke out Mr Green was sent to the Confederate Congress, soon lost bis property and his position, and now he isa poor drunkard. 'Bait. Gazettp. From the Raleigh Standard. Alfred Dockery, of Richmond county, nomi- mated for Governor. At a meeting held in Raleigh, on Thursday, September 20tb, 1866, on motion of G R Thomas, Esq., of Craven county, Hon. W W Holden was called to the Chair, and on motion of R F Lehman, Esq , of Craven, R W Logan, of Rutherford, and W J Doughty, of Carteret, were appointed Secretaries. The Chairman explained the object of the meeting in an appropriate manner. Or. motion, the Chairman appointed the fol lowing gentlemen a committee to prepare reso lutions for the action of the meeting : C R Thomas and R F Lehman, of Craven j D A Jenkins, of Gaston ; E T Blair, of Ran dolph ; John Robinson, of Wayne j Henderson A Hodge, of Wake; J B McMuiray, of Ala mance; N Chandler, of Davidson; J C L Harris, of Rutherford; Jesse Green, of Davie; VV C GuDter, of Chatham. The committee retired and after due deliber ation, reported through their Chairman, Mr Thomas, the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : The Union State Mass Meeting assembled in the city of Raleigh, the 20th day of September, 1866, for the purpose of maintaining and pre serving the osganization of the Union party, to th e end that the State government of North Carolina may be so administered as to secure the restoration and perpetuation of the rights, privileges and immunities of the people thereof, and their form of government in harmony with the National Government grateful lor the pre servation of that sentiment of nationality which is the shield of the Constitution and the sure guarantee of Republican form of government, do, with a sincere desire for reconciliation, for giveness and charity among all classes of Amer ican people, who were either engaged, or in volved in the late civil war, resolve 1. That only thoge men, without regard to their antecedents, who are "unmistakably loyal" to the government of the United States, should be appointed or elected by the people of North Carolina to any office, or place of trust or profit. 2. That, in order to secure the re-establishment of the State in tho Federal Union; the speedy restoration of all rights, privileges and immunities of her loyal citizens, and the final adjustment of the governmental relations of her whole people in harmony with the National Government, the amendment proposed by the present Congress, as article 14, to the Constitu tion of the United States, as a condition prece dent to these ends, should be accepted and rati fied by the General Assembly of North Carolina. 3. That, baviog full confidence in the justice and magnanimity of Congress that upon the ratification of said proposed amendment the dis ability to hold, or to be eligible to office imposed therein, will be, in every proper case, removed without discrimination as to any class or party of our fellow-citizens on account of their ante cedents, and that the State of North Carolina will be forthwith re-admitted to the Union, wo would respectfully urge upon our whole people to consider and demand that the same be rati fied by their representatives in the next General Assembly. 4. That in the present anomalous state of the country, without any provisions contained in our written Constitutions, either State or National, or precedents in American history to guide us safely in the great work of restoring the rela tions of a State Government ruptured by civil war in harmony with the National Government, we desire and now stand ready to co operate, without obstinate adherence to any special plan or policy of restoration, in any further action that in the wisdom of Congress and the Execu tive may be deemed necessary to guarantee to the State of North Carolina a Republican form of government, and restore the Uuion. 5 That we profoundly regret the defection of Gov. Worth from the Uuion cause, his pro scription for opinion's sake cf Union men from office, and the injurious influence which the prominent instigators and actors in the rebellion are exerting over him in his official conduct. We cannot hope that the State will be restored to the Union under his auspices, and, as we pre fer principles to men, and believe the restora tion of the" Union to be more important and more vital to the best interests of the State than everything else, we feel it to be our duty firmly to oppose his re-election. 6. That having full confidence in the patriot ism, ability, aod sterling Unionism of Gen. Al fred Dockery, of the County of Richmond, we hereby unanimously recommend him to the people of North Carolina, as a suitablo person to be chosen Governor at the election to be held on the ISth of October next. Gen. Dockery is well known as a. firm and unflinching Union man. He has had no eocnection with the causes that led to our present unhappy condition, and he has been true to the Union cause. His in terests as a farmer are identified with those of the great body of our people. His election in the present crisis would be a forlunate circum stance for the people of the State, and would do much with the loyal people of the North, to open the way for our return to the Union. Letters were read from Lewis TlIonjp30n, Esq , Robert P. Dick, Esq , and other distin guished Unionists, approving the object of the meeting aud expressing a warm preference for ALFRED DOCKERY for Governor. Ou motion of Jas. F. Taylor, Esq., of Wake, a committee of three was appointed to act in conjunction with the officers of the meeting in informing Geo. Dockery of his nomination. Whercnpon the Chair appointed James F. Tay lor, II. J. Meoninger, and E. T. Blair. On motion, it wa3 Resolved, That the Chairman appoint a State Committee of fifteen, to aid in promoting the Union c-'iuse in the State. Under this resolution the Chair appointed the following gentlemen : Lewis Thompson, of Bertie. David M Carter, of Beaufort. Dr Eugene Grissom, of Granville. C R Thomas, of Craven. O II Dockery, of Richmond. E L Pemberton, of Cumberland. - Thomas Settle, of Rockingham. Robert P Dick, of Guilford. Calvin J Cowles, of Wiik&J. Tod R Caldwell, of Burke. R M Henry, of Macon. A H Jones, of Henderson. L L Stewart, of Buncombe." . - " G V Logan, of Rutherford. ' Dr W Sloan, of Mecklenburg. On motion, it was Resolved, That the Chairman of this meeting be reouested to furnish a copy of bis address to be published with these proceedings; and that, the Raleigh Standard, Newbern Times, Char- j lotte Democrat, People's Press, Henderson j Pioneer, and Rutherford Star be respectfully j requested to publish the proceedings and ad- j dress. . 1 On motion; it was requested that R W Logan, 1 one of the Secretaries of this' meeting, proceed to Richmond County to inform Gen. Dockery of his nomination. . On motion, the thanks of the meeting were tendered to the Chairman and Kertrptnr;!f j then on motion the meeting adjourned. ' vv. W. HOLDEN, Ch'm. t -w r r, Secretaries.
