TO THE PUBLIC !
As eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,
jo is continued vigilance, honest, fair and
upright dealing necessary to saccess in bus
iness. Having trom the outset (18 years
ago), appreciated these facts, and acted up
on them, we nnd ourselves to-day rewarded
tor the countless anxieties, vexations, and
the loss of honrs of rest by seeing our long
cherished hopes realized, "of making Char-

Charlotte Pupils in Raleigh Misses
Yates, Dewey and Tate, of this city, figured
largely in the Commencement exercises, and
particnl rly the Concert, at Peace Institute

the highest praise, in connection with the

with much pleasure that we state that the

remembered, announced himself as an inde

hence his removal."

ine Kcpuuucau uotiveuuoi:. in ac
cordance with notice preyiously made,
convention of the Republicans of Mccklen
burg county took place in this city yester
day. The meeting was held in the Mint
Street Methodist church, colored. The local
editor of the Observer made application to
be admitted to the meetuig, but was refused
on the ground that no Democratic reporters
were wan ted there. . -
Notwithstanding this we were ahle to pick
up a few items in regard to the meeting
Isearly every township in the county was
represented by delegates appointed especially
to attend this meeting, and those townships
which were not represented personally were
represented by proxy, we believe.' About
fifty delegates were present: and out of
thirteen townships represented, ;one-third of
the delegates were white men, and the re
maining two-thirds colored. " ' . "
On motion of one of the faithful, R. It.
Rea, whitoy th standing candidate for sher
iff, was called to the chair, and W. M. Mar
tin, white, and S. T. T. Pearsall, colored
were made secretaries. . : r
The fact that we were not allowed to at
tend the meeting; rfenders our; information
rather limited. The following, however,
can be depended upon as reliable, as we ob
tained it from one ivho took a prominent
part in the meeting. ' "
These resolutions were introduced by Gen
Rufus Barringer and passed unanimously :
Resolved, As the sense of this Convention
that the Republicans" of 'tins' teounty,' wilt
nominate no regular Republican ticket in
the coming August election. ,.-' :
A 2. That the members of this Convention,
t acting as individuals, hereby favor a 1 fairly
constituted 'independent or raixea ticKet,
and to that end the Chairman 'shall appoint
a committee of 18 persons, to oonsider'-and
arrange such a ticket to be voted for at said
election and that the townships "not repre
sented in this Convention bef requested to
select one member-each' dfeaid commtttee
to co-operate in arranging aid ticket.. j c
The aboye resolutions explain themselves.
They mark out the programme v which the
party will follow in the coming campaign'. "
The Business Men of Charlotte.
While the mercantile house of : Wittkowi 1
sky & Rintels may be said to lead the trade
in "general lineaof goodai 86ni.e of our peo
ple have long eince put on city airs and
have established elass- establishriients
Messrs Brem, Brown & Co, for instance own
a large iron front building 80 by 154 feet
three stories high, which is devoted exchl-i
sively to the hardware business. In addi
tion to their present building thes'Jare now
constructing another three story house -to
be used as an Jroa -and nail warehouse, and
general 'varehbuse for shovels, forks, scales,
coffee mills, general Ireavy hardware, and
wooden ware, of whjfeh they expect hereaf
ter to keep a heavy and weU selected eteckr
? Tbia jfiriu commenced busiliessiQ 1866, on1
what was then considered ai large capital,
but so'great has been the increase in busi
ness that it is now six tiroes as large- as it
was for the first twelve months. They have
drummers or salesmen - in every corner of
North Carolina, west of. Durham's Station
on the NCR Rand in all of the upper half
of South Carolina. They ship goods to eve
ry county in Western North Carolina except
two o? three. These are supplied in Knox-
ville, being much nearer to that point.
On the first day of January they were car
rying a stock of goods amounting to $49,
0013.00, and with this immense capital they
have been able to buy from first hands at
such close figures that they have been able
to offer country merchants the best advan
tages of market in the State.
The past Spring they bought eight hun
dred dozen weeding hoes and twelve hun
dred sweeps to supply their trade.
Duringthe past year they have sold 3,500
kegs of naib. They have also imported 1,
600 pocket kniyes, with an immense quan
tity of other English goods, direct from the
manufacturers at Sheffield, as the bills on
their files show. Buying therefore from first
hands the purchaser who buys from them
pay no extra jobber's profits. In this house
can be found any article usually iound in a
first class hardware establishment, of any
size, color, fashion or weight, from a darn-
ng needle to ah anvil. ,"
The outside world have no idea of the ex
tent of the hardware trade. It is certainly
beyond our comprehension. Looking
through this establishment we were struck
with the idea that above all things we would
like to be a hardwareist.
Having said this much about this estab
lishment, ourlistfis hot complete until we
haye said something of its worthy and suc
cessful rivar in trade, the firm " of Walter
Brem & Co. While this house carries
somewhat smaller stock, the unaccustomed
eye can make no appreciable distinction 'as
to quantity, for here it seems to us, can be
found every article in the hardware line,
and a good deal more besides, and the retail
or the wholesale dealer who would look
through their stock, would sicken with sur
feit before he got through If any body
doubts what we say, we have only to refer
him to Waiter Brem, E - j, who will 'show
hiui thrpjjtfh uuiL.be is couviuced. - ;-.
Mr.Walter.Brens fora son of the old Colo
nel, and a rival in lm-iiatian I jt.lus .beva
supposed that this fact would -ai tiiestiie
difference ih keeping dwu obnijetitiiii
rhis is iar fmru the fa t. -Competition is
jut as lively between these two rivals, as
between any two grocery merchants in, the
citv. Their books show an increase of,, a
little over fifty per cent, increase in business
every year since its establishment, ana ine
outlook for the future, is certainly as bright
if not brighter than the pust.
This house has two drummers in the field
nearly all the time, and are making constant
exertions to increase their already large and
extensive trade. Iron declined in price a
short time ago, and these gentlemen, taking
advantage of the fall in price, have just laid
in stock about ItiO.OOQ lb3. which they are
offering at panic prices. They make a spec
iality of pocket and table cutlery, guns and
nistols- Thev import uearlv a!ll of their
English Hardware, and their American
goods are bought direct from the manufac
turers. They occupy large and commodious
storerooms, under the Central Hotel, in
cluding a cellar 30 x 90 feet, and will occupy
half of the store now occupied by J S Phil
lips, in a short time.
In conclusion, we may thoughtfully say,
that there lias been a. very great revolution
in the hardware business since the war.
We have no doubt but that these two houses
alone sold raore.gopds last year of this elass
than was-sold in.t3i whole State of North
Carolina in the year 1860.

clares it his intention not to run for any of
