DAILY OBSERVER. JOHNSTONE JONES, Editor. f Thursday, J anuary 2, 1873. AN OLD LAVDMARK. The oldest building in. Charlotte, the Red House situated near the Bank of Mecklenburg a few feet back from Tryon . Street, is being torn down. It is already levelled with th A trrnnnrt .nr nrW ' th a nnnipnt foundations and the naked, dingy chimney remain now to mark the spot where the old house has stood so many years. builders, thesturdy men who first settled this country. It was rude and homely in appearance; but strong and substantial; built of rough hewn logs and weatherboarded. Its chimney is a curiously shaped con cern and has the wondrously broad fire-place which is one of the princi pal features in' the dwellings erected by our honest and brave but plain and unpretending ancestors. This old house was standing when the men of Mecklenburg put forth their declaration of Independence ; and when the British troops under Lord Cornwallis marched up Tryon Street. It has passed safely through all .the dangers which have beset it since its erection, andhas withstood, uninjured, the storms and fires of nearly a century. Many associations cluster around the old building in the memories of some of our oldest citizens ; and it is a' pity that this relic of a bv-srbne ane should be de- . C- f - molishfif.. Tint sn it. ia : old thii.p-a p must pass away. Koom must be made for civilization ; and the ugly, dingy houses, our forefathers put up must be removed for the large and fine structures of modern times. It is somewhat remarkable that the timber of which this building wasf constructed is almost as sound to-day as when first put up, nearly an hundred years ago. The property has passed through various hands. At one time it was owned by John Boyd, Esq., and afterwards by Sam uel McCombs. It is now in posses sion of Col. William Johnston. It may be interesting to many to know that only nine other buildings are now standing in Charlotte that were erected pre.vious to the year 1825. Nearly all of the dwellings which "were once occupied by the early settlers of this place have dis appeared, leaving scarcely a trace of their existence ; even the spots where most of the old houses stood are forgotten. So transitory are the thintra of 1 ifp ! o Another interesting fact is worthy of mention. in connection with this subject. There are only eight fami lies now living in the same houses in which they dwelt in the year 1840; and of the hundreds of white people who inhabited this town in that year but thirty-six are now living here. The rest have emigrated either to other countries, farther South and West, or to that "bourne from which no traveller ever returns." About the New Yoek Ttibune.

A Novel Feature in North Cxro iin History. The county of Ran dolph, though Radical, is gifted with a most efficient set of officers, and a'l .elected upon a young man's platform. "For instance, the Clerk of the Su preme Court, A. M. Diflee, is 2Q years o;'age; the Sheriff, W- R, Ashwoith, 26 ; Geo. W, Reid, representative, 26; ' II, J,; Page, register of deeds, 22. and Paniel, Burrow, Coroner, 22, Back to UTorth. Carolina. ; Dr. Henry Victor Redficld's Railroad Let ter in Cincinnati Commercial. Stuck away in a corner, rolled up almost like a ball; was the country man who had paid fifty ceuts for havr ing h is boots pulled off. , "Please read my ticket," he said,. handing it to me ; "I can't read." I did so, and asked where he was "Indiana." he replied. ; Indiana, an4 can't read ! It was most too unnatural, and I ventured to ask him if he was born in that State. "No, sir," h answered, "I was born in North Carolina." My guess was right, after all. He was a veritable Tar-heel. "How long have you been living in Indiana ? I asked. "Two years. I'm just now going back." "Don-t you like it up there ?" "Not so mighty well. A Southern man don't have a fair show. You see I was in the rebel army four years. I'm willing to acknowledge that I am whipped, but I don't want to take all the blame on our side for all the trouble. Up in Indiana they seem to think that all the blame should go agin the South. I don't quite acknowledge them principles, and that makes discord. The Demo crats sorter held up for me, but there ain't manv about where I live. We only polled thirty-four votes in the township out of about three hun dred." You got, in among the Radicals, then ?" "No, the sort about where I live : i . i i . n..i i: t are not old siraigni-ouc x uuui-uijs, x call them worse than Radicals. Are you going to return to .North Carolina ?" "Yes: I can't be satisfied in Indiana. A Southern poor man has little show there, I tell you. 'Pears the whole community is suspicious ot him. Then, I believe every man gets along best among his own sort of people. The Northern folks are different from Southerns a heap different. They don't even chew tobacco alike. Up there they use what tney call 'line-cut.' I don't want any ot it in me. We North Carolinians stick to the old plug. Well, but that am t the only difference. Southern peo ple have bigger hearts, lhev are more ki;id and considering They don't make money like the Yankees. I know men about Indianapolis that have got money enough to buy out half of North Carolina but still they are on the hunt for more. Seems like they can't get enough. So much monev, or trying to get more, or something, makes them cross. They won't stop and talk like a Southern man. If you ask one ot them the way anywhere, he will nearly snap your head off. A Southern man will stop and give you all the directions you want and talk with you a long time, and ask about your crops and family, and if you won't come in and take a drink, and if you don't want to come around to the field and see some of his stock, and all that. But up North, I tell you, they don't do things on that style. They wont stop long enough to answer you a civil question. In the cities every fellow walks like the devil was after him. A Northern man in a city will walk faster than a North Carolina horse can go, and they will run over you if you don't get out of the way, which a horse won't do. I never saw such people to stave . ahead and let every fellow look out for himself. 'Pears like they don't care anything fr one another. They ain't jovial, and don't go in for a good time like we in North Carolina. You can stay in Indiana a year and never be invit ed to drink, but you can't in North Carolina. But they get us on the money. They have got more money than we have, that's a fact. The two people are alike only in one way, they have both got to die and leave what they have, and there we have the advantage, for we haven't much to leave and be sorrv for." "So you don't like Indiana ?" I mused. "No, she's too cold and swift for me, I want to get back to the old North State, where things are run more according to my notion. I am plumb sick of Indiana. The old woman has soured on it too. She says she would rather have a dirt floor cabin home in North Carolina than a whole township in Indiana." A Singular REMEDY.-r-Some two months ago a resident 'of Maple street named Broef was taken ill with some sort of fever, and for two .weeks there was little hopes of sav ing hia life. He continued to sink in spite of all the physicians could do, and they finally gave hinv up All through his sickness tbe nian had continually : asked for pickles and cider, and when he had got so low that his death was considered only a question of a few hours,- Mis. Broef decided to gratify his wishes. A glass of sweet cider was given him , a spoonful at a tinie, and he declared that he felt better for it. More was given through the night in place of m edicine, and the next m orning the doctor declared that a most favora ble change had taken place. . Some good strong pickles -were procured and given him, and he began to call for gruel and broth: To be brief, he is ' now ;ble to move around the house, and everybody in the neigh borhood, as well as the physician, gives the cider and pickles the credit pf performing the cure. ; : ; ' : ' 'Detroit Free Press. : Once, and that: too, when Mr. Gree ley was very friendly with the ; Vice President, a friend said to .Mr, Gree ley; "If you are elected in Novem ber; you had better take Reid .to Washington with you and . put Col fax in charge nf the libune ; he will draw ! To which Mr. Greeley res ponded with more than usual vigor in his drawl, Schuyler wouldn't ma&e a reporter on the city force, and the Tribune would make a pretty poor figure with him to worc out its "des tiny." . .... Fisk's Fate Stokes'.. Story .of-the Stairs. Stokes,now on trial in New York, charged with the murder of Jdmes Fisk, Jr.; related the following to a reporter: ' ' " i "As God shall judge me, I did not expect to meet James Fisk that af ternoon I had no idea of coming across him that day ; I had not seen him before for some time and I had heard that he was still sick of the small-pox. I was at the Grand Cen tral Hotel with some friends looking for other friends, and I was rambling to and fro about the hotel when I met him accidently by the merest accident, so help me my God." (This last sentence very solemnly.) "I had been very seldom to the Grand Central Hotel; , only three times be-, fore in my life, I believe, and only once before in the second story, so that I knew nothing of the interior of the hotel at all. While . rambling around 1 met James Fisk, and he met me ; we met face to face, and the moment he saw me he put his hand in his pocket. -He had his pis tol ready. I saw it just as plain at? I see that seal-skin cap of yours on your knee there. More plainly, for the light was much brighter nd clearer than it is here. I raised my pistol; helired and I fired, and I knew know more, so great was my excitement, until they brought me into the presence of Mr. Fisk. Even then I did not know that he was wounded. He seemed calm enough, and was half sitting on a sofa. He never said I shot him, or killed him, or anything of the'kind. He mere ly said to the officer who asked him if he recognized me.' "Yes, I know the man, it is Mr. Stokes." Nothing more. He even looked at me some-. what in his old-fashion, I think sadly, yet not angrily, almost tender ly. I felt almost like making friends with him then, but he waved his hand,, and the'y took me away, and I never knew anything about that wound in the abdomen until the next day. I thought all the time that I had only wounded him slightly, that it was all a small matter, and I wanted to get on bail at once. I bad not the slightest idea ofkilling James Fisk, and no man was more sorry to hear of his death ; for with all his faults, Jim had good stuff in him, and no man knew it better than I, for I knew both sides of him. But he was armed that afternoon, and I shall prove it this time ; and shall prove what was done with the pis tol prove it to the satisfaction of the world this time." Murder Mo3t Strange. The criminal court of Waynesburg, Greene county, Pa., has been trying a remarkable murder case during the past weefc. Thec aseisthat ofThad (ieus Younkin, for the murder of his father. Charles Younkin. The pri soner is a young man, twenty-one or twenty-two years of age, and the father was aged fifty-six. It is claim ed by the Commonwealth in the trial that the old man was shot whi'e he was quietly sitting by the cook ing stove, awaiting his supper. Ihe defence admit that the accused shot him, but contended that the father was a dangerous man. " He had given his wife ten minutes to get supper and furnish warm bread, threatening to kill her if she failed. Ihe allotted time was well nigh up. She had run to the cellar for cream, and had returned to get flour. The deceased had followed her and struck her with a dipper. Becoming still more enraged, he threw aside the dipper and rushed for a butcher-cnife. Not succeeding in getting this, he endeavored to snatch a large iron shovel. The mo ther was in the meantime screaming and crying, 'ihe son, to save his mother, thereupon shot his father dead. . No 'Mercy. In the United States Circuit Court, in Columbia, last week, ten prisoners plead guilty to viola tions of the enforcement act and con spiracy. All of them were sentenced by the merciful Judge Bond to fines of $100 and five years imprisonment in the penitentiary, except one boy ninetean years old, who recoived on ly four years. One of the accused was Rev. John S. Ezell, a Baptist minister, of Spartanburg county. Mr, Ezell stated that he had not been on a Ku-Klux raid while a member of the Klan and had never participated m a sinsrle act of violence. He join ed the organization March, 1871, and Quitted it in June of the same year. While belonging to it he uniformly advised against force or bloodshed and had prevented many persons from being troubled. Notwithstand ing his statement he received no mercy from the modern Jeffries, but was sentenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary for five years. Au-. guMjx Chronicle & bentmel rz8tn.
