HON. G. W. MtTRRAY 8PEAK8. Hod, Geo. W. Murray, Congress man from the First South Carolina district, addressed a large and alien* tive audience at the court house last Saturday evening. The object of the meeting was to enlist the sympathies, and moral and financial aid of the cit izens of Charlotte in behalf of the Ne grete of South Carolina in their fight for tbir rights as citfz us. The speak er set forth the condition of affairs as they exist to-day in the Palmetto 8taie and pictured, in vivid language, the f diousnefs of the registration laws as .’hey now are and the objeet of the enmng constitutional convention to dwfranthiae Negro voters and to ua justly apportion toe school fond. He told of the evil results tost were sure to follow the enactment of the propos ed constitution, saving that should the TilloMui'Fvans oligarchy succeed in its diabolical schemes, it would only be a matter of time until every /South ern Bute would folio# the example. It was thus shown how toe establish ment of snob a precedent would aflest the Negroea of other State* of the South.

The spiritual interest of the meeting wares good as we have ever witnessed, the order wm very good and the preaching was acknowledged by all to be unsurpassed.. Special comment is heard on every hand respecting the sermons of Revs 8 itt, McLees, Black well, Drs. Simmons, McKinney, Me Iver and Wyche. After a soul-uplitting sermon by El der Blackwell on last Sunday, eight persons came forward and testified lb a* they had been converted or re claimed during the meeting. A man who was converted on Thursday asked to speak a word that bis brother might he persuaded to come. While he was obtaining the preacher’s permission, bis brother came to the altar and fell weeping and pleading tor pardon for bis sins. The collections amounted to $103. 50 ahich was sufficient to bear, expen ses and leave about $45.00 to the church. Many who expected little good to come out of the meeting, have words of commendation and unite with the managers and supporters in saying it was a surprising success IT MAY DO AS MUCH FOR YOU.

R Spofford, Librarian of Congress, has been found to be in a? rears in his accounts by the amount of $22,000, which be has paid over into the Un ted States treasury. No one believes he has been intentionally dis honest, but his aocouots have been in a very chaotic condition. The diffi ooby has been largely, we judge, in a lack f f executive ability. He has tritd to do everything himself instead of through trained subordinates; It is no part of a principal librarian's duly bimsolf to receive the dollars tor copyrights. Mr. Spofford is < ver sev enty years of age, and it is intimated that the present difficulty will make occasion for his retirement It has been perfectly impossible for him or any other man to keep the enormous mass of books in the Library in prop er condition. There will be a very heavy burden coming upon the Libra rian during the next five years in drawing plank for the interior of the new Library building and in transfer ring the books and reorganizing the Library. Perhaps it will be an ac> of mercy to a man who has made an honorable record during bit long pe riod of service if thia task shall be put on younger shoulders.—The Indepen dent* ‘V- V‘ • —» - - ‘ -- ---' J.
