TO THE PUBLIC !
As eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
so is continued vigilance, honest, fair and
upright dealing necessary to success in bus
iness. Having from the outset (IS years
ago), appreciated these facts, and acted up
on them, we find ourselves to-day rewarded
or tne countless anxieties, vexations, and
the loss of hours of rest by seeing our long
cherished hopes realized, of making Char-
tot te a
Wholesale Mart,
and ours an exclusive
Wholesale House.
In order to be, more explicit, we have the
pleasure of informing the mercantile world
that we have leased the superb store, ad
joining our present,'(heretofore occupied by
Messrs. Brem, Brown & Co., as their Dry-
Goods Store), which we will occupy by first
of September next for the retail trade only,
and will use our present elegant and com
modious store for an exclusive
WHOLESALE HOUSE
ilms eivincr to the trade a strictlv "Whole-
wle Establishment," where they, can make
their selections from a Stock purchased for
hat trade only, thus avoiding coming in
contact with a Retail Stock and Retail Bay
ers. The advantages of such a House are
too obvious to need further comment.
To give the general reader, a better con
ception of the colossal dimensions of our
two Houses we state that we will have up
wards of thirty thousand feet of superficial
floor 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 intorm our numer
ous friends that our Mr. Rintels is now
again North buying onr second stock this
reason, and owing to the decline in goods,

New House Pest Office. There seems
to be some trouble about the affairs of this
office, which is situated in York county, S
C, not far from the Air Line Railroad. It is
a country office and the mail has been pre
viously carried to and from it by horse ; but
latterly the postmaster has, we learn, moved
his' office up to the railroad, and as the route
agents have no authority from "the depart
ment to exchange mails there,- they very
properly decline to -dos so We make this
statement in justice to the route agents, who
have been censured by ; persons not under
standing the case for not putting oft , and
-taking on- mails" thtre. - ;
It seems to us that it would be well enough
for the authorities to look into this case, and
either have the office regularly mbyed up to
the railroad or have it rentoved to where it
now properly belongsi ,
The Engine Explosion. The Atlanta

of an engine on tne Air-Line Bailroad, Mon
day mornings in addition to those we hay e
published : ' '
. "The engine went by the name of .No 30,'
and was attached to the gravel train. It was
taking in water at the time. No cause is
known certainly, for the accident. The en
gineer, Air uasKeviue, says mat. the engine
was carrying three guages bf wafer, and 140
pounds pressure of steam. The explosion
blew' out the front of the engine, besides de
stroying the crown sheet and fire-box. The-
entire train was blown back some 25 ft., and
several bars of railroad iron were displaced.'
The truck .wheels were blown out from un
der the engine. s , ;f '
"The engineer was scalded badly but not
dangerously. He was thrown forty feet to
theigoIhis"eninebyihe force of the'
explosion. -The fireman, Henry Millet, col
oredandtu. copductor,, Mr W Jv Adams,
were adjusting the water pipe from the tank
at the time.' The former was. so scalded and
injured lritero ally tb or
three hours after. Conductor Adams was
scalded over the sbouidera, arms and breast
so horribly that he at present stands but lit
tle cnance 01 . surviving. Although, some
thirty hands were on the train at, the time
none were fortunately hurt."

The Heat. Although the weather has
been hotter here, our people probably have
never suffered more severely from heat than
they have in the past three days. It has been
rather a rare thing heretofore for brickma-
sons to have to drop theirrtrewefcr on ac
count of being overpowered "by heat, but
many of them have found themselves over
come in the past few days. On Tuesday, out
of one crowd of thirty-four, twelve of them
had to suspend. Although none of them
have been at any time dangerous, still they
were so affected as to be totally incapable of
doing anything. Yesterday several other
masons were affected in like manner and
had to quit work. No place short of an ice-
bouse can be found in the city where it
seems even moderately cool.
communicated.
Refreshing.
Messrs. Editors : In this sultry weather it
is delightfully refreshing to know, that the
good people of Charlotte have an ice ma
chine, a genuine ice machine, right in their
midst, (that don't make ice.) How consol
ing it has been to the stockholders to know
that for the last ten months they were going
to have an abundance of cheap ice by the,
first or middle of each next week. How re
freshing it is to them, these sultry days, to
know that they have a "machine" that is
going to make ice, in the future- But why,
gentlemen, all these promises and no ice ?
Is it because these substitutes are cheaper
than the genuine article, or is the admission
that you are a failure too painful to come
out and say you have spent all the money
committed to your care, and made a failure,
to-wit; Too much experimenting.
Other cities make ice, and make it profit
ably ; did you not get all the secrets when
you bought the patent ; or is the stock not
yet sufficiently depreciated to commence
running the ''machine ?" We have to con
jecture, as you do not giye us any report of
your stewardship. Stockholder.
For the Observer.
The City and its Finances.
"Extravagance and prodigality in the use
of public moneyseems to be a cardinal prin
ciple with all officials, both Radical and
Conservative, since' the close of the late war.
Men elevated to authority act on the idea
that they must do something before their
power ends to give them notoriety, even ff
not wisely or justly done., Why should men
serving in an official capacity be .paid dou
ble aa much for their services as they could
earnlfiacting for themselves in their own
vocations. '
.rThesevremarks are induced from the re-
portedaction of our lately elected Board of
Aldermen in raising the salaries of certain
ones: especially since the hnances are so
low. They cannot pay the already contract
ed debt. f Tbe Mayor's salary - was raised
from $800 to $1,000. Tjhe Marshal and Treas
urer's' salary each- raised to the same figure,
while $180 was put on the "keeper of the
market, which is considered a 'nuisance to
the city, thus increasing expenses $780.
If the old salaries were not . sufficient to
support them, why manifest such, anxiety
for the offices? Will these offices be dis
charged under the increased pay better than
before ? Answer, Messrs Aldermen. .
The truth is, it shows a reckless disregard
of the interests of the city,' wholly uncalled
for; especially at a time when there is such
a loud cry for increased taxation. Retrench
ment ought te be the order of the day. The
Marshal ought to be required to collect and
disburse the funds, which would not then
consume his whole time. .. But if the city
ordinance requires a Treasurer, - a contract
could be made with any of the banks to
take the money and pay it. out, perhaps with
out consideration or at least for some $200,
xne Mayor couia do well on some $ 600 m
connection with the fees of his office. The
fines ought to be increased, for vice and
crime ought to be taxed heavily as a punish
ment to the guilty, and, thus pay a large
part of the expense incurred in its suppres
sion. .
There is no objection to any of these offi
cials, so far as I know.; all are worthy .men ;
still reform and retrenchment is demanded.
The interests and future prosperity of Char
lotte calls for it, for the taxes are now so
high that many are talking of moving be
yond its corporate limits to avoid that bur-
uen, . . . , : ,..v r. , .
Charlotte is growing si a rapid fate ; but
the 1 burdens of taxation may . check its
growth; for it now reaches near 3 per cent
on real estate, including the county. There
seems to be an indifference among our peo
ple touching the electiohson the ground tha t
no reform or retrenchment r wilt be'- made,
elect whom you may, thus submitting to be
plunderedand mis-governed ' as though it
was an incurable evil that, cannot be 'over

It may be law, for a governor of
what once was a great and sovereign
community in the galaxy of States
which make up the Federal Union j
to steal, bribe and plunder, as is alleg-t
ed in this case, and so found by the
grand jury, but is it good law f . Are
our laws so defective that there is no
amenity for crimes and offenses when
once in the Executive chair ? If so,"
the sooner that law, or' constitutional
impediment to the administration of
justice, is swept out of existence, by
the sovereign people, the better.
We have neither time nor space, at
this writing, to comment further on
this decision, and would merely re
mark en passant that as Governor
Moses is the acknowledged official
head of Eadicalism in South Carolina,
this case is another endorsement by
a judicial light in that party of the
corruption of which he is charged, and
we may be permitted to hope.that the
day is not far distant when this will
but add fuel to , the live coals of fire
which are expected to destroy every
vestige of Radicalism and corruption
on American soil.
