Railroad fimiBoi'i'- s We heard a rumor last evening that the United States Court as Savannah, Ga., has removed the present Receiver of the Atlanta !k Richmond Air-Line Railroad, and ap pointed in his stead a Mr, Fisher, of New York, one of the largest bond holders. Whether or not this is true, we do not know.

We wish to impress upen the" citizens of Charlotte, that a worthy occasion for the display of their liberality, will be presented to them, this evening, it is desired to get money to prosecute the-work winch has been commenced on the Second . Presbyte-. rian Church, and, as raising money for such purposes always devolves upon the ladies, they have, with their characteristic energy in matters of the kind, taken hold of this. The object of the entertainment commends itself to every one, but money will not be taken without a return being made. The tableaux, charades, and music, ail by home folks, will necessarily interest pe ople of Charlotte, and the supper will not be the least attractive feature of the evening. We have no doubt that the occasion will be a most pleasant one,' and in behalf of the ladies and their cause, we bespeak . such a crowd and such a patronage as is 'deserved and expected. ' - ' The Case of the Man Berkley. The case of Jo- Beckley, who was impli cated in stealing $75 from Mr. Jas. Boyd, of Chester-, S. C, in this city about three weeks ago, was removed to Cabarrus county for trial, and came up on Wednesday. We learn from a friend who was present.that the trial resulted in "Beckley's conviction. He was defended by Messrs. Wilson & Son. of this city, and the State was represented by the Solictor and Goyf Vance, f The trial was conducted with great zeal -'a both 'sides. Yesterday morning, after the prisoners con viction, the defence moved an arrest of judg ment, upon the ground that the seal of the county of Mecklenburg, from which the case had been moved, was not affixed to the transcript This felt like a bombshell upon the whole Court, and judge Schenck said that, upon this fact being brought to his knowledge, he would allow an appeal to be taken, but would, nevertheless, sentence the prisoner to 10 years in the State prison. He also allowed the prisoner the privilege of giving bail in the sum of $2,000, if he could give a justified bond In Mecklenburg coun ty, before the Clerk f the Superior Court. Jndge Schenck, we understand, is putting business through with his usual celerity Theatres and Operas Mrs. Lander s tioupe, we see by our ex changes in Atlanta, is filling an engagement. of about a week in that city, and is playing to houses filled with the - cream of society. It has, since it was in Charlotte; played in Charleston. Augusta, Savannah, and other cities of the South. The papers in every one of these places speak in extravagant terms of Mrs. Lander and her support, and the Atlanta News, which is a sharp critic, is enthusiastic : the Herald speaks of some of the acting as the best it ever saw, and all the : papers unite in saying that it is rare -.that such a performance is seen in a city ..less . in. size than Baltimore. -When 'Mrs. Lander 'was in Charlotte, though she came here with the reputation; of a star, she played to less than half house. What a commentary upon Charlotte 1 Thfere has never been 'seen ; here such a theatrical companyif and . we ; fear Vth ere never will t again, .- within -the present genera tion. The Holmari' Opera Company came here with 'a splendid reputation a reputa tion of long standing, acquired in many of the principal cities. 5 And it' played to less than half a house. . There, is just one thing certain. If the people of V Charlotte want good troupes to' come here, they must pa tronage them when they do come.l',There is nothing easier for a place, than to establish the reputation of " poor show town,", and just so soon as a place 'does; establish this reputation Joei i then .will good companies give it the. go-by. ;They, wili, not . pay; $75 per night for a theatre, and lose ,'their,. time to bobtt fo? the" privilege of playing to empty seats ; and nobody blames i them. . Refined people don't want a joooh of minstrels, ct slelghUf-hand or magic lantern performers to come here, but soon n e' will have nothing else, unless meritorious companies are pa tronized, for they will not stop over here and lose money for the edification of a few pec-J pie who are appreciative, when -by, going, elsewhere they .can' get' crowds."' ."We are speaking now to the jpultivated, we ivuueu people .p ine cvmuiBOivjr ; ui coarse nonjt. otbTexpi a?s a fine opera or theatre jmh.as--'theyv5 Soxd operas'and theatres,i pirficularjy -tne, fbrmerarerning InAetr fe'fluenand. if we had more' 6f themf we woufd'1a b?; ter people.'

All About an Organ Grinder and his Friends. A regular "good joke on Snider" was perpetrated last evening; A party of gentle men brought an organ grinder to the foot of our steps to serenade U3. There were two closed doors between us and him, and a heavy power pi ess Tunning in the next room. We didn't - know he-'had come till he had played about a quarter of an hour, when some of the crowd came up and told us about it They stayed with the organ grinder, and had their nerves racked as long as they could stand it, and laughedimmod erately at the elegant joke which they were, playing on v.s .' By the time the press ceased running, the poor devil was most too tired to turn his organ, and he soon left, with his equally tired friends, an exhausted but a wealthier man. They had paid him $5 to serenade us, but they themselves got all the benefit of the music, and we got almost nonei The next time yon calJU gentlemen, send or bring your friend in.

It affords us genuine pleasure to state that the charming actress, Miss Ada Gray, will appear at the Charlotte-Opera House next Thursday night, the 17th inst. The troupe has recently been playing in Richmond, and the Whig, Enquirer, and Dispatch, unite in sounding its praises. Miss? Ada's fame is by no means provincial,.but jshe is recognized, ail over the country, as an artist of unusual genius. Her support, we see from our ex changes, is excellent this season, andj we rest assured that a delightful entertainment is in store for our people. Wo would not, if we knew it, recommend an inferior per formance to our readers, nor would we rec ommend any that we did not have the best of reasons for believing was meritorious. But, with the lights before ns, we have no kind of hesitancy in recommending the " Ada Gray Company,'! and we hope it will be greeted, next Thursday night, with a large house. We are no less glad to know that the Op era Houie has been engaged for the even ings' of the 18th, 19th and 20th of January; by Miss Kate Putnam, whose fame extends all over the country, and whose ability as an actress.has never been called in question. But between this time and the time of. her com ing, we shal lhave more to say I about her, and will, for the preent, only congratulate our people upon, the bright outlook for amusements; and advise theni' toYgo, hear and see Ada Gray next week. r The Proposed Centennial Celebration. For the credit of our city and State, we do, trust that the 20th of May, 1875.will be celebrated in Charlotte in a manner becom ing the anniversary of as glorious an event as the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde pendence; and from the growing interest manifested in it by the press, the people and the General Assembly, ,we are ledlto hope that some definite steps will be taken, look ing to the celebration of the occasion. H will be seen by the legislative proceedings of Wednesday, which we publish this morning that a joint resolution hatf passed both houses, appointing a committee of eight; three from the Senate and five from the House, to be called the Centennial Commit tee, whose doty it. shall be to arrange for any Centennial celebration in the State. If the General Assembly of the State, and the Board of Aldermen of Charlotte, really desire to, they!can posh h is tosucce&s. In asmuch as this event is 'a matter of State pride and glory, the Legislature j should, we think, make an appropriation of funds to be devoted to defraying in part, the expenses of its celebration.. If, as has been remarked be fore, this Declaration, this first step in the direction of throwing off the British .yoke, had been made in any ether Str te in the Union than North Carolina, it would "have been sounded from one end of the State to the other, continually, and the people would unite with one accord in a grand celebration ofthe day, the works . of which, an hun dred yaers' ' ago,' have1 cast ' an undying lustre upon it and the State. -.
