An Encouraging Letter from the Sec
retaryThe Congress will Probably
Meet Here Neit Tear.
The third annual Congress of the
Scotch-Irish Society of America will
probably meet in Charlotte next
May, and we may look for substan
tial aid from that body for the mon
ument to the signers of the Mecklen
burg Declaration of Independence.
Dr. George W. Graham, president
of the Scotch-Irish Society of North
Carolina, has received an encourag
ing letter from Mr. A. C. Floyd, sec
retary of the late meeting at Pitts
burg. Mr. Floyd, among other
things, says: "We were gratified to
have CoL Brevard and Col. Johnston
Sth us as representatives of the
Scotch-Irish of the Old North State,
and also to receive the cordial invi
tation of the people of Charlotte to
hold our next annual Congress in
your city. Owing to a crowded pro
gramme it was not possible to accord
them the time which we would have
liked to give them during the time
that they were here. Had they re
mained for the Saturday evening's
exercises, we 'could have afforded
them the opportunity which we de
sired to give them to deliver the in
vitation at more length. The invi
tations, however, are recorded, and
will be acted upon by our executive
committee, who will decide the next
place of meetiug after proper con
sideration. I cannot speak officially
but may say personally that there is
a strong sentiment in our executive
committee in favor of going to Char
lotte next year.
"I am a native of North Carolina,
proud of the State of my birth, and
greatly interested in the building of
the monument to the signers of the
Declaration of Independence. You
may rest assured that I will do all
in my power to assist in the good
work. Wheu I get my papers
straightened out I shall take great
pleasure in furnishing you some of
the lists of which you apeak. Our
meeting here closed last night with 1
a tremendous crowd of over ten
thousand people. The grand climax
to a highly successful meeting. Our
influence has just begun to be felt,
and will continue to Increase as the
years go by. We hop that North
Carolina will have one of the mot
vigorous State societies among them
all.
"Give my respects to Col's John
ston and Brevard, and Ml them that
had arranged for them on Satur
day night, and was sorry to And that
they were gone."

Mr. Dixon and Editor Shepard.
The sermon of Rev. Thos. Dixon,
published in yesterday's News, was
read with a great deal of Interest in
this city and all were delighted at the
handsome manner in which the
frantic Shepard was handled by the
Southern preacher. Iu Shepard's
paper of June 2 he wrote an editorial
saying: "It is timely to suggest to
the Rev. Thomas" Dixon, who has
lately come here from the Southeast,
that if he is correctly reported iu the
Sun of this morning, be has imported
from the place of his former residence
styles and expression that are not
regarded here as appropriate to the
pulpit We do not, however, want to
do Mr. Dixon injustice, and ask him
If he is correctly reported. Unless
he replies by noon tomorrow and
disavows the unseemly and un
christian expressions attributed to
him, we shall have something to say
which we would rather not had occa
sion to say."
Mr. Dixon evidently did not reply,
for Shepard gives him a column and
a quarter in his paper of the third.
Shepard's reply is weak. It is in
tended to be sarcastic, but even the
sarcasm is flat Altogether, Rev Mr
Dixon, in this fight, is still on top,
where he has been from the first
Shepard, by the way, is still print
ing ropies of letters which he re
ceives from the South or alleges to
receive. Here is one he prints from
Richmond under date of May 31 :
"I think you had better go and
bide yourself in the caverns of the
earth and let no man look upon you,
for you are either a fool or a lunatic ;
as for Edgar Allen, he is a dirty shy
ster, and Ned Waddill a dog, aud
Ben Harrison a dish-faced fool ; and
if we had you down here we would
make catfish bait of you. Why don't
you publish how that scoundrel, U S
Grant, cheated the American people
out of millions and millions of dol
lars? This is written by a 'rebel'
who will cut your throat if you ever
come south of Washington. Hurrah
for the Confederacy !"
Resolutions bj the Pioneers.
At a meeting of the Pioneer Reel
Team last night the following pre
amble and resolutions were sut
in It ted by the committee appointed
for that purpose, and were unani
mously adopted:
Whereas, The Pioneer Rol Team
has been the recipients of numerous
favors aud kindnesses, extended
them on the 20th, 21st, and 22 of May,
therefore be it
Resolved, 1. That the thanks of
this company be extended to Mrs. J.
G. A.Orr, Mrs. J. H. Northv, Mrs. J.
C. Northy, Miss Maggie Orr, Miss
Mamie Orr, Miss Lula Smith, Miss
Mattie Smith, Miss Ida Gasklll, Miss
Minnie Hooper, Miss Mattie Shur-
butt, and Miss Fssie Plummer, and
they will long be remembered by the
Pioneers.
2. That thanks be also exteuded to
his honor, Mayor McDowell, and
Chief Bixby,of the city Are depart
ment, for many courtesies extended
The Funding. lot
li is of the utmost importance to
those owning bonds of the State of
North Carolina, denominated the
"old issue," or construction bonds, to
keep in mind the fact that the Fund
ing Act will expire on the lstof July
next It shoald be remembered that
the State has heretofore extended
the time in which the old bonds can
be exchanged for the new 4 per cent
consols, and it may be that the. com
ing legislature will refuse any further
extension. There Is no State in the
South that made more liberal offers
to compromise all Just debts than
North Carolina, and it is fair to pre
sume that no further concessions can
or will be made on the bonds yet out
standing. Bondholders need not
cherish the "flattering uno; ton that
anything can be gained by delay.
North Carolina has done all in the
premises that could be expected and
all that the people will ratify.
