No 1,621. f t --!''- - x ; - - " . . - ' . rtrxfr1 : . 1 --.v-,, . , ' . . ; I TO THE PUBLIC ! s eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, "is continued vigilance, honest, fair and ,nright dealing necessary to success irt. bus iness. Having from the outset (18 years . ,'ino) appreciated these facts, and acted up on them, we find ourselves to-day rewarded or the countless anxieties, vexations, and ne loss'of hours of rest by seeing our long ":.:?rihed hopes realized, of makin)tlr otto a Whplesale Mart, and ours an exclusive Wholesale House. In order to be more explicit, we have the pleasure of informing the mereantile world that we have leased the superb store, ad joining our present, (heretofore occupied by Messrs. Brem, Brown A Co., as. their Dry loods Store), which we will occupy by first of September next for the retail trade only, and will use our present elegant and com modious 6tore for an exclusive WHOLESALEHOUSE. thus giving to the trade a strictly. "Wholes sole Establishment," where they can make their selections from a Stock purchased for 'hat trade onlv, thus avoiding coming iu contact with a Retail Stock and Retail Buy ers. The advantages of such a House are 'oo obvious to need further comment. To give the general reader a better con ( eption of the colossal dimensions of our two Houses we state that we will have up wards of thirty thousand feet of superficial tJoor room ; or if a lane of ten feet wide were formed of our stores, it would reach considerably over half a mile. At the same time we inform our numer ous friends that our Mr. Rintels is now again North buying our second stock this reason, and owing to the decline in goods, will again place us in a position to success 'ully compete with all other houses.

Again last night, ;ib ut 11 o'clock, the police were called to that de lectable locality, the "Five Points." The row, .'though, as told by one of the ne groes present didn't amount to much, being nothing more than a- negro man having a knife drawn across all the fingers on one of has hands, by a-' woman whom he had made mad. There were.not more than fifty or seventy-five negroes,.! men and women, on tiie grounds when we got there, and in rerly to a question, the proprietor of a grog shop and gambling hell told us that it was "quiet down here to-nigh fr-s-j it was; more quiet than usual, a policeman told -us. Just one person getting his handwashed up with akiTife, is a mere matter of nothing in the "Five Points." There were no arrests last night. Personal.

We trust that," before Summer sets fairly, in, the. city au thorities will take steps to put the city in a thorough sanitary condition. There - is hot a Square that does not contain pestilential basins and filthy areas. With an inadequate water supply and a very defective system of seweraga the winter could hardly .bequeath us less. In our present condition we do but invite disease of some kind as soon as the heat of summer is fairly upon us. , The fact that an epidemic has never visit ed us makes itstill more crtir interest to put the city in-a state of.thoVongh dtafeise against the coming of disease! .jr' It is money, in our pockets to keep our enviable record for salubrity good ; and we can easily do so by1 taking the proper steps. , - Nothing less should be thought of. A house-to-house in spection is absolutely necessary. . . There are careless and ignorant heuseholders in eyfery ward, in nearly every block, and the .safety and prosperity of all should not he left 'to an individual sense of duty. ... s t ;. f3;f ' yharibhe is "naturally hlthy,i)OTe'lirid breezy, and nothing -Wted'o rrramtarn 5 V1 .'..;; TV.-i?i .-. :J:Lt r-i.il Stutter a.ud MUX Coolerr We the general neaun oimmea"y umiwiw of all uoxioi9 and injurious substances.

A Mis-statement In the published pro ceedings of the Congressional Convention held in this city last Wednesday to nomi nate a candidate for Congress, it was made to appear that Hon Z B Vance was the only delegate present from Mecklenburg in the Convention. We take pleasure in saying that this was a mistake unintentionally committed by the Secretaries of the meeting. The delegation from Mecklenburg was full, every township being largely represented. These delegates assembled before the Con vention met and made Gov Vance their Chairman. He was spokesman of the dele gation, and it was in this way that the im pression was created on the minds of some that he alone represented Mecklenburg in that Convention. Mecklenburg Preshytery. This body met in the basement of the First Presbyte rian hurch of this city yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. The attendance was not very large. Tire principal business was the li censing of Rev W E McIIwainc, of Provi dence Township, to preach. He was exam ined and duly licensed. A petition of Rev R B Anderson, of Mor ganton, to have his connection severed with this Prrsbytery that he may connect him self with Concord Presbytery, was granted. The pastoral relations of Rev'Mr Hood were severed to allow him to form a connection with the Northern Presbyterian Church. He will locate in Missouri. A commission was appointed to go to Asheville to investigate the affairs of the church in that place- The Committee on Sustentation of Meck lenburg Presbytery, will meet in this city to-day, to consider important businesss. Court Vesterda3T. The time of the Court was occupied again yesterday with the Capps case. At the opening of Court Solicitor Car son opened the case for the prosecution. He was followed Ivy Geo c Wilson, Esq., for the defence; Gov Vance liowed Mr Wilson al so for the defence and he in turn was fol lowed by J 11 Wilson, Ji.?q., on tne same side. At the conclusion of these speeches Court adjourned for dinner, and upon its re assembling Gen Rufus Barringer closedlhe case for the prosecution. The arguments were- concluded about 3$ o'clock, and the Judge delivered his charge to the Jury. This was' mainly' a summing up of the testimony; His .Honor laid down a few of the leading points of law and then dismissed the jury. The jurors retired and after an absence of ierliaps three quarters of an" hour returned' and rendered a verdict of guiltyof stct'ing. Court had already adjourn ed and sentence was not passed yesterday. The criminal docket will be continued this mornim;. There -is a murder case on the docket but there is a likelihood, we un derstand, of its being compromised. Even if it should be, there is little likelihood of clearing up this docket before to-morrow noon. A Vnfr-fi from the Caantrv Or. nf the stauncnest Lonservauves in rmeviiie lown- ship writes a letter to a leading citizeil of of papev. He Vvas tired and bedrag Charlotte, from wh ch we have extracted glcd, and deposited his burden behind the lollowmsr relative to the Judicial con test : - "I never have been a politician, and am not yet; out at tins time i am .un der the impression thSt ii becomes every good c itize n to come out and take a stand in the matters appertaining to State. " Let us, if we can; keep and manage our State af fairs a-right and we can and. will prosper. Now, it is as clear to me as day that, if we allow the party to bolt or split from the nomination and two or more candidates in the field; we are badly beateu on the day of election. I was the first man to put Shipp up for Judge, thinking that he would be the strongest man in the district. ' As there was rive and a half counties against him and for Schenck wc cat do better than to come out square to theSerutch and vote for the nominee like men. For, united we stand, divided we tail. Again, it we bolt on the Judgeship, we must do so in all other cases, because we lose, the principle at once. . I am sorry Hoke came out as a candidate lor judge, it we are going to bolt, let us vote then for the man that we want, whether he is out in the paper or not. We 'can't get a man without a fault, and there is no use, in my humble opinion, to be kicking at the wall. l . . Meeting: of the Board of Aldermen, , May 25th, 1S74.

Whether the rat intended, this as a contribution to the sufferers of the overflow, or was himself moving to avoid the encroaching waters we are unable to say, but it is certain it is that he lias not yet returned to claim the property.
