LOCAL AND GENERAL. Very warm this week. Cotton is coming in rapidly. Much building going on in the city just now. Go to J. It. Eddins' for your school books. Superior Court adjourned last Saturday noon after a session of three weeks. The last circus that visited our city is now quartered in the Fair grounds at Columbia, S. C., under the special care of the sheriff. An excursion train will bo run from this city to Concord on next Tiiursday by the Good Samaritans. The fare is 81 for the round trip. Many ladies and gentlemen are preparing to go to the fair at Ral eigh, on the 9th of October. There and then will be the grandest time of the season. Let’s all go. The revival at Zion church still continues. A great work is being done. It seems that no one wearies in the great work and the interest is unabated. Over one hundred souls have been converted, and scores still crowd the altar. The graded school did not open last monday as was expected, be cause the carpenters had not fin ished the work. They say it will open next Monday- The whites have over 400 in the graded school. There ought to he as many colored to start with. The first brick on the new build ing at Biddle College were laid last Tuesday. Tho new building takes the place of the old frame building and is to he 98x187 feet, and will accommodate 400 students. Immoral Preaohere. Ministers of the gospel should be men whose moral conduct could be taken as examples for the world to follow. We speak freely of Zion, because it is our own church. We call the attention of the ministers and of the Bishop of this conference to two offenses against an unwritten, law, and offenses which have very bad effect upon the world, earning from ministers of the gospel. In a certain county in this confer, ence, a few months since a minister in Zion church married when his wife had been buried only about three months. Last week another minister of the same conference mar ried when his wife had been buried about three weeks.. Now if this keeps on, the next thing will be in vitations to the funeral and mar riage going at the same time, and the minister officiating will hold the{ death certificate in one hand and the marriage certificate in the other and will perform both duties on the same visit. We think such men should have a sound reprimand from the Bishop, if nothing can be done with them. Men should be taught to respect the dead as well as the living. Had the Star of Zion men tioned these it would have had the death in one and the marriage in the next. Personals. C. H. Moore, Esq., of the FUstf, was in our city last Saturday to see how we conduct a convention. Dr. J. J. Mott was in our city last Saturday while the fun was going on. ne went home well pleased. The friends of Miss Anna C. Moore will be glad to learn that she is improving. She has suffered se verely from fever for more than two weeks. Mr. W. H. Heard, of the Air-Line, called on us last Monday. Mr. E. W. Turner was in the city on Tuesday in the interest of the fair. Mrs. Julia Brown, of Charleston, S. C., is visiting our city, the guest of Mrs. H. B. Kennedy. Rev. J. B. Middleton, of Green ville, S. C., spent last Wednesday in our city the guest of Mr. H. B. Ken nedy. Rev. J. R. Howell, of Raleigh, preached in the two Baptist church es of our city last Sabbath and re mained in the city several days. THE CONVENTION. The Republican convention met in the court house last Saturday at 12 o’clock, according to the call of the executive committee. Captain Ray called the convention to order and acted as temporary chairman, while J. W. Brown and A. B. Gil lespie acted as temporary secreta ries. Committees on credentials and permanent organization were appointed, and while they were con sulting, the convention was address ed by several gentlemen, among them Mr. A. W. Calvin, J. W. Gor doh, W. W. Jenkins and J. T. Schenck. Dr. R. M. Norment was elected permanent chairman and W. M. Hagler secretary. Dr. Norment made a lengthy and interesting speech after which the convention got down to earnest and harmonious work. The onlv jar in the convention was an effort by Mr. W. W. Jenkins to substitute the name of T. L. Shields lor that of J. J. Sims. In urging this name Mr. Jenkins said he only did so from a sense of duty to the Repub licans, but he intended to stand by the actions of the convention. The change was not made, and the tick et nominated by the liberal canven tion, a few Veeks since, was unani mously endorsed. The was full, enthusiastic and kof Jbni. ous.

Tn H* Repnbßram of Mecklenburg Co., GREETING : Fellowßepiruoans : Appre eiating the responsible trust reposed in me by vice ling mechairman ofyour Executive Committee, in all confi dence I bespeak the cordial support of every Republican in old Mfcklen burg. Your State and county is once more engaged in a fierce battle for human rights and civil liberty. On the nth of Xovember the voters of Xorth Carolina are to decide wheth er the Bourbons or the Liberals are to rule the State- The action of our State and County conventions have bound every true Republican to march in this campaign under the bread banners of Liberalism. Let me as your chairman, person »Uy appeal to every Republican in our grand old county, to forget the past and allow no personal prefer ence nor revengeful feeling prevent you from battling against your old enemy. 1 leg you to listen to no decep tive arguments of our wily foe; that it is only a choice between demo crats. Remember the candidates on the Liberal ticket are pledged to restore your stolen rights, viz: the election ofyour magistrates, county commissioners, school committee men, etc-, and to give you a free election and a fair count The can didates ofi the other side arc the representatives of the party that has deprived you of your rights and stole your votes. Finally, let the watchword be, Organize to-day! See that eveiy man registers! Work, work, work! Go to the polls on the 7th of Xovem ber determined to vote the Liberal ticket, and when the sun goes down victory will perch on the allied banners of Liberalism, and our old proscribing, intolerant, rights-defy ing enemy will be hurled from pow er, our good old State and grand old county redeemed from Bourbonic rule. Respectfully, J. W. BROWN, Chm’n County Ex. Com. htatllKafKa. THE SITUATION. The convention of last Saturday was a remarkable one, from the fret that men were endorsed for office by that convention who, two years ago, were the most bitter ene mies of the Republican party; this endorsement was made with the full knowledge of the fact of the past career of these men. It is true that the ticket as en dorsed by that convention, was op-1 posed by some good Republicans, who desired that none but the old fire-tried kind of Republicans should ha placed on the ticket. These men should consider this fret, that there is something to do borides nominating men; electing thev is the thing, and as we have k* 6«' a l-V nominating the fire-tried »„nd for 15 yeavs, without electing anybody, it is high time to try to elect as well as nominate, and after repeated failures it is time to change For fifteen years we have been holding conventions for the amuse ment of the Democratic party; a convention would meet, composed principally of colored men, and the result of the convention was it would nominate a ticket composed entirely ui white men, and the re sult was that we have always been beaten. It was all very well in the days gone by, for the negro to vote as di rected, and the men who bossed the Republican party then could well afford not to desire any outside help, because 40,000 men, who are to-day active and uncompromising Demo crats, were at that time deprived of the right of franchise, because of participation in the rebellion, and when these men got turned loose, how quickly the bosses lost their grip in the State; and from that day till now the scramble among them has been who shall control the Federal patronage in the State? while the negro has been told to stand off that his time had not come. The negro has voted these many years and his votes have only served to keep up the organization in the State, so that certain men could control, as said before, the Federal offices. Now that a new set of men have appeared on the political arena a great cry has gone up from those old bosses, who have got left out in the cold, that the Republican party has surrendered its principles, when the fact is they cant show a single Liberal who will not endorse all the cardinal principles of the Republi can party. As said before, some men on the ticket hate been railed at by some Republicans because they formerly acted with the Bourbon Democracy and gave the Republicans a great deal of trouble in voting times. Now to show the advantage of such an addition to our party of progress, it is related in the Bible that a certain man named Saul was a terrible per secutor of the early Christians, that he participated in the death of many, yet despite all his meanness he be came a Christain and was one of the most energetic and successful preach ers of his time. Now, while these men may have been great bull-dozers for the Bour bons, we must remember that we have all their political experience for our benefit, and will the Bour bons have experienced a great loss we have made a great gain, for we not only do not have those men for our opponents but have them as our co-workers in defeating the Bour bons. We have captured the big guns of the Democracy, and we do not in tend to spike those guns, but load them up with an extra charge and turn them on the enemy. This is a day of policy, and while it is impossible to please every one in the make up of the ticket, all Republicans who earnestly desire to see the party succeed should labor for victory in November. The time is fast approaching when the colored man must rely upon his individual judgment, and vote and act with that party who will best secure to him and his pos terity his and their rights as guar anteed by the constitution, for in this contest the negro has every thing to gain and nothing to lose. We colored people should care but little who secures the places on our ticket, as the fight was between white men, and while one party was defeated in the nomination they would cheerftilly support and work for 'the ticket. And should this ticket win, we certainly stand a chance of getting what colored men so desire, that is county government and colored men on the jury, these are the things we will got if the ticket succeeds. Many colored men are being ap proached by only Democrats, who express astonishment that colored men would think of voting a Liberal ticket, and advise them to rurfa straight-out Republican ticket. Now is any man fool enough to take the advise of a political opponent on a question of politics in a political contest. Shall Democrats advise Republicans how to vote tho Repub lican ticket? Some men are born fools, others are made so by practice, and no man except a bom fool would take the advice of political opponents on political questions. Old Axe. Another Cadet. Calvin Reynolds is the name of the fortunate, unfortuhate colored youth who has recivod an appointment as Cadet to West point on the recom mendation of Congressman Neal. Ho is a young man of very studious habits, having just graduated No. 1 in a class of fifteen from tho Ironton, Ohio, High School, tho remaining members being white, ne won his recent honor in a competitive exam ination of youth from all parts of the Congressional district, scoring 76.8. A young white man who received 78, received the Cadetship to Anna polis. Roynolds went to Ohio from Virginia since the war. ’’Old Virgin ia never tires.”— People’s Advocate. SAMARITAN ANNIVERSARY.

Cunning ham. 14-3 t ANNOUNCEMENTS^ For Coroner. The friends of Hr. J. A. HcLure hereby an nounce nim as the People’s candidate for the office of Coron r of Mecklenburg county, at the ensuing election. Charlotte, N. C., Aug. Ist, 'B2. The propriety of running a colored man for some of our County offices has been discussed very frequently amongst the leaders of our race, and surely, rep resenting the voting element of the Re publican party as we do, we are enti tled to some of the offices bestowed by the suffrage of the people. lam one of those who think it high time that the colored people should be rewarded for their devotion to their party, and act ing upon this reasoning, and the solici tation of.many friends, I announce my self as a caudinate for the office of Con stable, in Charlotte Township.
