Thank you, brother "Hussey, but not any

of our lee machine., tb at we want naught
else not even water works. However, we
think it would do brother Stewart good to
seethe corner stone of some water works
laid somewhere. He has been waiting a long
time for something of the sort at home, but
as he isn't likely to see it there, we advise
him to "go west" to Statesville, He'll
doubtless go up-but excuse us, please.

The Fourth In Charlotte. No attempt
whatever, was made to celebrate the Fourth
of July in Charlotte by any public demon
stration. An excursion train from Colum
bia the night before had brought about 150
negroes here, and these, added to- a' large
number who came from the county, togeth
er with the town darkeys who took holiday,
thronged the streets with the sable brethren
and sisters, bdt there, was no parade, barbe
cue, speaking, or anything of the kind. Lat
terly this race has made a monopely of the
loiious Fourth in the South.
A good many of the gentlemen of the ci
ty rested from their labors on this day, and
indulged in recreations of different kinds,
but there was no general observance of the
day. and well the Fourth of July ain't
what ifc'Bsed to was ," anyhOwY f i

Serious Affair. Quite a scrioua difficul
ty, which may probably cause the death of
one of the-parties, occurred in this city on
Sunday afternoon, between two young men,
M T Whitlock, who drives the stage of
Wadsworth & Davidson, between Charlotte
and the head of the Carolina Central Rail
way, and William Northey, a resident of
this place. It appears that Northey, in
company with some others, had hired a
baggy and horse at the livery stable of J R
Davidson, for the purpose of taking a ride.
Before the buggy was returned an accident
happened to it by which it was slightly bro
ken; this fact being communicated to Whit
lock, who is an employee at the stable, he
set Out on horseback to hunt Northey up
He found him near the Fair Grounds, and
taking possession ;of the. Jiprse aud buggy,
drove off with it toward tlrestable.
In fronkof the residence of W W Pegrani,
Esq, on Morebjead street, lie stopped , to ar
range something about tb3Shggy and Nor
they came up, when Whitlock asked him if
be was willing to pay anything, for break
ing the buggy or harness. V To this he re
plied that he was not, when some sharp
words passed between the t kq. These
words resulted in Northey drawing a knife
and raking it dowp Whitloek's arm. The
latter then ; ran around. ' the buggy,
pursued by his assailant, , and during the
race stopped to throw a rock at him. This
missed us aim, however, when he threw a
clod of dirt at Northey, which struck him
. in the head. This did not stop him, and fi
nally Whitlock picked up another rock
aKfthrew it at his pursuer, this time with
better aim, for -it struck Northey in the
head and knocked him down. - Whitlock
kicked him twice in the face, and then, rid
mgdown town, told a policeman of the
facts and advised that something be done
to ascertairi Northey's condition and to1 re
lieve him, t the same time announcing his
readiness to surrender himself to the author
ities if he had committed any crime. 11
Meanwhile Northey's family had beeu ap
prised of his condition and had him reruov
ea 10 nis iatner s residence, wnere he was
waited upon by Dr R H dibbon, who ascer
tained that a considerable piecCof. the skull
had. been crushed irvand was pressing upon
thebrain,- Jia as renioveiL.aafiu's bs
sible, andiflKieedful attentiott 'grven ' the
young man.
Vi hitlock .was taken-under arrest and Con
fined in jail until yesterday morning, when
he was carried before Justice W F Davidson
to answer the charge preferred against him.
Geo jElWilson Esq, appeared for the prison
er, and Hon W M .Shipp, for. the prosecu
tion. .The above facts, substantially Were
developed, and also a threat made by Wliifr
lock, a short time before the affray;" that Tie
would ent Nortlwy'slieart out ,if; he found
him, or something of that sort. - At the con
clusion . of the evidence (there were six ot
eight' witnesses? arguments were' offered by
Judge Ehlpp and". Mrf Wilson after which

Itadirals In Close Communion.
' The Radical County Convention met in
"Close Communion" at the ' Third Ward
Methodist Church. No spectators were al
lowed, bat we learn that R R Rea was Chair
man and Rev PearsaU appointed Secretary,
ahd that a committee of 18 was proposed to
confer with a like committee of the bolting
Conservatives and make up a. mixed ticket
of Republicans and Conservatives, and that
after very much talk it was adopted with
out-croppings of strong sentiments of adhe
sion to Logan, as Judge. That Logan must
be the candidate of the Independent party
or combination. That the Judgeship is the
one great leading idea of the Republicans,
and that all other nominations are to be
considered as of secondary importance, and
that Logan is not to be given up under any
considerations.
Right here we will report that the Con
servative part of this attempted-to-he-gotten-up
ticket are equally as strong and deter
mined that Logan shall not be voted for or
endorsed by them under "no circumstan
ces" which, taken together, will make the

To the Pubiid.
Having learned that Col John F Hoke, in
a discussion with D Schenck, Esq, at Char
lotte", on the 21st of May, 1874, made a wanton
and slanderous attack on my private char
acter,! addressed him the following letter
to-wit:
VThite Oak Hall, Polk Co., N. C.
; May 25th, 1874. f
Cot John F Hoke: ; I am-, informed that
you, in a public address, on the 21st inst., in
Charlotte, used the following language to
ward me.
"He Is a Tennessee refugee, who fled from
Tennessee for killing people. I will charge If
I go to Polk, that there was rascality perpe
trated by Simpson, in that meeting, I have
found out Simpson is a liar, by letters from
Rutherford." -
WUl you advise me at your earliest con
venience, whether or not jou used the lan
guage and if so. on what authority, and par
ticularly who is the author or authors, of the
"letters from Rutherford,' and ( what these
letters state that convinces you that I have
been guilty ot lying? " 'Very respectfully.
H 1 James K Simpson.
And received the following reply, with his
card of May 23rd enclosed in which he pub
licly retracted the charge that "I was a refu
gee lirom Tennessee for killing people..",
LlNCOiiSTON, May 8th, 1871.
Col Jas K Simpson: Yours of the -25th
inst,; has just been received, and I state in
reply, that I did say in my speech in Char
lotte, that you were au East Tennessee refu
gee, and had "fled from that-country for kill
ing people," or something to that effect. I
did say that there was rascality shown in. the
Polk county meeting, towards me, and that
if I went to Polif,'! would 'so" charge it,, or
words to that effect. , I am -unuTole to tell the
exact language used. I did not say that I
had found out that Simpson was a liaf by
letters from Rutherford, nor did I say any
thing of the kind, nor allude to letters hav
ing been received, nor had I received any
letters of that kind. The only allusion to
yourself was your refugeeing from Tennes
see for crime, and your action in the Polk
county meeting. I send you a card, by
which you can see how I .now stand, and
what my sentiments are." Having answered
your interogatories, will you inform, me who
your informant is ? very respectfully.

In the discussion in Caarlotte. between Mr.
Schenck and myself, I spoke of Colonel
Simpson, of Folk. In the heat or del) ate, as
having refugeed from Tennessee for crime.
In this, I am satisfied that I did Col Simpson
Intustice. and desire to make a public cor
rection. 1 would notdo any man as injury,
and will not if X know 1U. My comments on
Col Simpson's action in the Polk County
Convention, were aeservea ana win oe sus
tained. ' J. r . HOKE.
Southern Home ana Democrat piease copy.
In order to show that, the charge of "ras
cality being perpetrated, by me in the Polk
County Meeting,' is false, and undeserved,
and cannot be sustained, I herewith publish
the following certificate, signed by every
Conservative who was in that meeting, except
myself. The names include those who" voted
fof Soke and Shipp, as well as those who vo
ted for Schenck:

is without foundation and untrue. -C A Simp-1
son did not. before tne twnveLiion, speait a 1
disrespectful word of any man, nor did he
show any disposition whatever to take any
undue advantage of any one of the aspirants.
The vote given in the convention is sumci

there was no necessity for any one to resort

The Disease of Civilization
Dr Warren, author of the "Household
Physician," tells us that dyspepsia is a dis
ease of civilization that savages know
nothing ot it. We do not believe the lat
ter statement.. Savages sometimes gorge
themselves unut tney can .scarcely move ;
and as they are human beings, and not an
acondas, they must, necessarily suffer the
pangj of indigestion. ? Undoubtedly, how
ever, in consequence or their luxurious hab
its, the civilized and .enlightened portion of
mankind are mostsubiect to dyspepsia.
This being the case, what are the civilized
and enlightened dyspeptics going to do
about it? What a large proportion ol them
t are doing about it now is simply this : they
are taking Hostetter's Stomach .Bitters as a
remedy with unvarying; and complete suc
cess. From all parts of the United States,
from all theSpanisb 'republics, from the
West Indies, lront various, parts 01 Europe,
and from the antipodes, Australasia, evi
dences of its unrivalled properties as a
specific for casual and chronic-indigestion is
continually being received, lne result is
that the consumption of the great tonic and
alterative is rapidly increasing throughout
the civilized world. The nations, near and
remote, as well as ourlown pooplei have dis
covered that as a-preventive ana remedy
for diseases of the digestive organs, and all
ailments of the liver, bowels, nerves and
general system, winch are generated or ag
gravated Dympertecv digestion, it nas.no
equal either among officinal or . proprietary
meaicmes. -
