Yesterday was a busy day in the cotton trade, snd the weighers were kept busy from early till late. The stores and shops make a handsome display with their Christmas stocks, and the number of buyers seems to be corres ponding very well with the sire of the stocks. An excursion train for colored people will be run from this city to Charleston, leaving here on the 24th inst, and returning, leave Charleston on the 28th. The fare for the rpnnd trip from Charlotte will be $4.50 The first regular through train from Wih mington, arrived last evening, safe and only twenty-two minutes behind time. The con ductors report the road as in much better than they had expected to find it. A quantity of the new issue of postal cards, have been received at the post office. They are of a lighter color than the first issued, and those which we saw are of better material. In general appearance, there is no change in the card. Twas cloudy and threatening all day yes terday, and Jn the afternoon there was a fell a sleet which was followed by rain. A heavy drizzle was falling when the crowd left the threatre, and continues, witb a prospect of a cold rain. Christmas Goods. R. S. Pbifer has a stock of elegant Christ mas goods. A new lot of books just receiv ed are elegant, and are the very things for Christmas presents. He has also a stock of some very beautiful and som&vry ridicu lous cbromos. It is well worth one's time to go through his store and see what he has. The Charlotte Hotel. We dined yesterday by invitation, at the Charlotte Hotel, which has just gone under a new management, and conclude that if the dinner yesterday was a specimen, the house will well sustain its reputation .for square feeding. We have no doubt the new proprietors will keep a good hotel, as they are said to possess all the qualifications of good landlords. . . Interesting to Postmasters. The postoffice law which goes into opera tion in January, increases the pay of many of the postmasters in the country, while the compelling prepayment of printed matter will materially reduce their labor. The grade of very many of the postmasters is raised, so that they will become appoint ments by the President, being in receipt of $1,000 and upwards. Vick's Floral Guide. We have received from the publisher, a copy of the January number of Vick's Flo ral Guide, for 1875, published quarterly. The present number contains oyer 100 pages, 500 engravings, descriptions of more than 500 of the best flowers and vegetables, with directions for culture, colored plate, etc. It is believed to be the most useful and elegant work of the kind in the world. Only 25 cents for the year. Published in English and German. Address James Vick, Roches ter, N. Y. . Wilmington and Charlotte. Under this head the Wilmington Star, of Tuesday, says : "Col. Chas, R. Jones, repre senting the business interests of Charlotte, made a statement to the members of the Produce Exchange yesterday and an inter esting interchange of opinions and discus sion of facts and figures pertaining to the cotton trade were entered into. Col. "Jones ex pressed for himself and the people of Char lotte a desire to cultivate the friendliest rela tions between the two cities, which was fol ly reciprocated on behalf of Wilmington by the members of the Exchange." Our Typographical Errors. If there is any other one thing more than another which a charitable public should overlook, it is the typographical errors in a mnminir newspaper. There is one son of Belial, in this city, however, wto thinks these things ought not so to be, and yester day we found oh our "desk,'" a slip of paper on which was pasted four small items, clip ped from the "Obsxbteb, " all containing tvDoerraDhical errors. We neither know nor care who he was, but the circumstances served to recall to our mind a certain stanza from "Pope's Essay on Criticism.','; We quote it and apply it to this fellow : ; "t. VSomehave at first for -wits, then .poets , nawi'd : Turn'd critics next, and proy'd plain fools at last. 5? ;7 j " s - -r.i!- ." Rome neither can for wits nor critics pass.

He has sabmitUcl it to the Legislature, bewrever, and we hate Bo donbt that xnany a one of then has thought about this, iaore than about that speech on -making a certain creek a lawful fence, or that other one about preventing the felling of trees in that other creek. Woodson, withdraw the question from them. The wheels of legislation mutt not be clogged by -this raising of outside is sues. The Lee Dunlap Case. It will be observed from the legislative re ports, that steps are being taken to get a bill passed to authorise and empower the Gover nor to offer a reward of $500 for the capture of the notorious scoundrel, Lee Dunlap. If the Legislature can do anything ,to bring this criminal to justice, we sincerely hope it will do it. It will bk bat tardy justice then. It is a shame upon - our laws that a , red- handed murderer, such as Dunlap is, should have this long escaped the gallows. If any one ever deserved hanging, he does, and we are astonished at the forbearance of the peo ple of Charlotte in that they brooked the law's delay in this case, instead of met ing out punishment, merited, swift and ter rible punishment, upon the villain who ruthlessly, without cause, took the life of a good and peaceable citizen. 4 Stealing a Ride. Some days ago, when the train on the Western Division of the Carolina Railroad stopped at Tuckaseege, on its way West, a white man, unobserved as he himself thought, crept into one of the unoccupied box carl, the door of which was open. Con ductor Finch saw hm, and had doors of the car pushed together, and locked. When the train stopped at Brevard's Station, the conductor went pp to the car, and, with the remark to the engineer, that he believed there was a cow in that car for that place, told him to run the car off on the side track. This was done and tha ttajn jpfc oftfc and tne reuoTT wno calculated to steal a riae, brought on himself imprisonment in the car until the train returned in the afternoon. When the door was unlocked and he got out, hehad the appearance of one who had gone after wool and got shorn. Personal. Mr. W. T. Powell, the proprietor of the Richmond Theatre, is with the Ada Gray Troupe, which is stopping at the Central Hotel. Peter W. Hairston, Esq., of Baltimore, form erly a citizen of North Carolina, is in the city. We had the great pleasure of meeting last evening, with Matt O'Brien, Esq., the famed wag and caricaturist, of Augusta, Ga, He it was who illustrated Bill Arp'siast book, and he it was who makes ne ore funny sketches than any other man in the South. Matt is very dear to the Charlotte heartjon account of the picture which he drew of George Cox, when he was here about eighteen months ago. He is an old journalist, too, and we always loye to hold sweet counsel with the brethren. We were glad to meet in the city yesterday, Dr. Bivings, the travelling agent of the At lanta Herald. Dri B. is a native of Lincoln county, in this State. Railroad Accident. An accident occurred about 12 o'clock on Tuesday night about seven miles below Charlotte on the Charlotte, Columbia fe Augusta Railroad. An extra freight engine drawing twenty-three cars.was coming North and at the time and place mentioned, one of the brakes on the thirteenth car from the engine, broke and fell on the rail, throwing this car and the two immediately behind it. from the track. Two of the cars were "tele scoped," but the third was not much-damaged. Mr. W. W.. Pegram, the agent in this city, of the road, was notified 6f the accident, and before daylight was Wn' the scene "with a force of 21 hands which he carried down with him on a train. The two worst dam aged cars were thrown on the side of the track, and the third was replaced on the track and brought on to Charlotte.' The ac cident caused no detention of the mail train The loss to the Company can be re paired, it is thought, with $150 or $200. Their Work Finished. One of the engines which came in on the Carolina Central ; Tuesday evening, drew a number, of flats load ed with the hands who have been working so faithfully on the road, as well astiheir carts and implements. Col; Ames was, on the game car, carry ing a large flag, and was perhaps the hamriest man of the whole party. The s a - whole force is completely broken down, after the terribly fatiguing work of the past two weeks. ; Mr. Eccles, of the Central Hotel, was at the depot, and took Cols. Fremont and Ames, and ' the engineers, contractors and bosses to the Central, where he furn ished them, with a complimentary sup per. It was a gala occasion for all hands. .. -' "' 1 Two or. three -new conductors came up with: the trains for .'the purpose of learning the road before starting'out to regular aerriceV. 1 -V ' For the Wilmington Fair. A large number of people have .already left ; Charlotte oyer the Carolina' Central Railroad, to attend the Fir at Wilmington, and no doubt others still will go.. We learn that on Tuesday and yesterday morning, when the train left Wilmington, . the . pros pects of the Fair were exceedingly flattering. Crowds of people have gone down the new road. . The racing is expected to be unusual ly fine, there hating been -forty horses en tered and a purse of $1,500 offered. To-morrow (Friday) will be the Wg day of the Fair, should the weather be propitious. Hon. A. M. Waddell will deliver an address. and Gov. Vance having accepted the inviU- ! fchkkepf in them on their ar tion extended him, wille are informed by "T1' 'hlI the tohe nearly dead in rtffiNrd'.l Vr-ui Wri An fh f,s Hi ' Wlth starvation or suffocation in "their crowds morning: Wooten's Express, Capt. Wooten began ejght yeaja ago as conductor on the'; Eastern Division of the Carolina Central, (then the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford) Railroad. There was no express line on the road,and Capt. W. conceived the idea of establishing an ex press line of his own. He did this, and be gan with a tin box. His business has been steadily growing ever since, and has proved a great convenience to the people on the line of the road. He has now the right of the road, to carry on liis business, from Wilmington to Shelby, and was in Char lotte yesterday, making arrangements to es tablish an office and secure an agent here. His is known as " Wooten's Express;" and will henceforth be run regularly on the road, receiving freight and offering the same se curity for its safe carriage and prompt deliv ery, that other express companies do. Mall Route on the Carolina Central, The first mail over the Carolina central Railroad, was brought up on the passenger train which arrived in this city about 12. o'clock Tuesday night. This, however, was what the lawyers call "irregular." J. W. Wadsworth fc co., of this city, have the con tract, under E. T. clemmons, to carry the mail for this train, to Monroe, and until they can have an understanding with Mr. clemmons, they will continue to do so, not withstanding the train is running to this place, and is ready to receive, deliver and carry it. The old stage (" the Great Eastern," as it is called) which has been for so long running between charlotte and the head of the road, carrying the mail, passengers and baggage, made its last trip on this route yesterday. Henceforth, until the arrangement of which we .have spoken above, is made, the mail will be carried to Monroe in a buggy. The Opera House Last Evening. Last night, Miss Ada Gray appeared as Cora, in " Article 47." The play is a good one and free from moral taint; no noxious odors cloud the picture, and nothing in ac tion or dialogue offend the taste of the most fastidious. Cord is the type of a woman who loves and hates from impulse. Reason and judgment are, with her, subservient to passion, and the, taint of insanity, in the blood helps her on to her final ruin. Miss Gray . conceives and executes the author's meaning with life-like fidelity. The clear enunciation, the tones of her voice, full and organ-like, the outbursts of passion, the tone' Of menace.the look of scorn, and the sinking of identity in the part, stamp her as a truly great artist. Her acting has method in it, and the evidence of care and study is seen in each action and gesture. Emotion, she portrays as if she felt it, and her power of similation is almost perfection itself. In the mad scene, her acting is painfully real ; the awful look of utter despair, the wail of agony in . the voice, the nervous tremor, were all given with power and com pleteness. No such picture of human suffering has ever been seen upon our stage as Miss Gray presents when her love is rejected. Her form shakes, the pupils of the eyes dilate, and sudden frenzy holds her in firm grasp. Slowly and surely the poison in the blood does its work, and the evidence is seen in the look of awful suffering which creeps over her as does the pallor of death upon the face of the dying For power and force, this scene as enacted last night, stands un matched. Miss Gray has beauty of the highest type, a magnificent form and commanding pres ence. Her voice is full of power, and she possesses a perfect command over its several tones, which is withering in its scorn, tender and touching in its pathos. The company were, in the main, excel lent. In the farce, Mr. Brown and Sallie Partington evoked. laughter and applause, To-night Miss Gray appears as Gamtile, in which she has earned well deserved econi ums from both press and public, and we trust to see her greeted by a large audience. Fire Works During the Holidays. The boys will, during the holidays, have to forego the pleasure of popping fire crack ers and shooting Roman candles, go into tha nnbnrbs to do it. or else run the risk of having to pay a fine for the breach of city ordinance. The Board of Aldermen, it will be remembered, suspended this ordinance last Christmas, and the consequence is that a law suit is now pending against the city for damages resulting from fire caused by fire crackers or Roman Candles: in. view of this, the ordinace will not be suspended this year, but will be enforced, so we are told, to as great a length as the police can enforce it. The Mayor asks .us to. call attention to the ordinance; which reads as follows? , - : -1 That anv nerson or nersons who shall ex bibit. set fire to; orsexplode any fire-works nr raise or elevate anV balloon or kite, - or throw any fire-balls, within the limits of the city, unless by the written permission of the Mayor, first had and obtained, . shall forfeit and pay for each and every offence, the sum of twenty dollars and any person or per sons wno snail use or varry nre in me screen,, w-thlc.klr-settled narts of - the - city, in -- careless or neclizent -manner, shall ' forfeit and par for each and every offense, the 80.nl The Way Chickens Come to Market.' The condition in which mosi qt the cbicx ens are brought to this market in coops; de serves" the attention of, our City Council. Nearly all the coops are cade so low that the chickens have not room to stand up, and being generally crowded together and thrown, about in the handling of. freight, many of them are killed before they reach their con signee. But their condition, we are assured, is often even worse" Shah this, for in many instances the appear to have been actually starved to deith, instead of being killed, for, we are .told, that as a general rule, there are very few of the coops which have not more eu conuiuon . a wouia seem that, no atten-1 tion is given thein, and withoq't food or wa. ter furnished theni from the time tbey are put on the cars until they are delivered here. Those that are then left alive.are tied by the feet and sold to hucksters, by whom they are again sold, almost in a dying condi tion, and they are then served upon the ta bles of our citizens, very few of whom would probably eat them if they knew their actual condition. It has been suggested to us that an ordinance ought to be passed requiring inspection of these fowls when offered: for sale in our market, and annexing a suitable . penalty for this torturing fowls to death by starvation or by suffocation in coops so con structed that they cannot stand up.- It is well known that we have to pay high for these chickens, and one reason for this probably is that those which reach here alive have to be sold for enough to make up for the loss of the rest, as well as for the freight of both dead and liying. Loudon Quarterly Review. The October number of the London Quar terly Review, republished by the Leonard Scott Publishing Company, 41 Barclay Street, New York, treats of many subjects at present occupying public attention. I. Dr. Huber's "History f the Jesuit Order," published in Berlin, in 1873, is the text of this article, but the book is only re ferred to occasionally, in common witB" many other authorities, the chief purpose of the reviewer being to describe the character istic features of that organization. The de tails here given of the constitution and prac tical working of that remarkable society will help somewhat to elucidate the contest now going on between it and the govern ment, in Germany. In the next number we are promised an outline of the Jesuit doctrines. III. "The Hope of English Architecture" is the heading of a description of the causes of the failures of modern English architects. Justifying his position with numerous ex amples culled from the records of Greek, Roman, and Mediseyal architecture, the writer maintains that theoretical knowledge is not sufficient, unless accompanied by practical skill ; that the man who designs should also execute. Then, and then only, can we expect to have perfect work, for no one can perfectly master the thoughts of another. IV. "Modern Culture" is here portrayed in its religious, political, and social aspects, with a particular examination of the doc trines of Matthew Arnold. X- Under the title, 'The Ritual of the English Church," we have, first, a summary of the struggle which began in England in 1833, concerning the interpreta tion of the Articles of the Church ; and second, in greater detail, the attempt made, within the last twenty years, to introduce Catholic usages into the Service of the Church. Then follows a minute account of the interpretation of the Rubrics, particular ly those prescribing the position of the priest at the communion table. The article closes with a history of the bill recently passed for the regulation of public worship. We regret that limited space will not per mit us to do more than speak briefly of the other articles in this number, all of thetn being deserving of special mention. , "Prov incial Turkey," by exposing the neglected state of that country, shows how the Otto man Empire has failed to keep its part of the Treaty of Paris, of 1856. "The Republic of Venice: Its Rise, Decline, and fall," and the "Life of Bishop Patterson," are interest ing reading , ' East Anglia : Its Strikes and Lock-Outs," treats of the ever-recurring labor question ; Burrows' "Worthies of All Souls" is a history of the College of All' Souls, at Oxford ; Criminal Statistics," and a note on the article in the July number on "Primitive Man," fill up the quota of thelast number for this year. Price $1 a year. The Spartanburg' and Asheviile Rail road. - We had the pleasure of meeting yes terday, A. C. Kaufman, Esqi,- theSec retary and Treasurer of the Spartan burg & Asheville Railroad. Mr. Kauf man is an enthusiast on the subject of this road, and from him we gathersome interesting facts in regard to the pro gress of the work. He says that 8 miles of the , road will be built' by Christmas; all the heavy grading on the first or South Carolina. division will be finished by the 1st of January.. The whole of the division will be graded early in June, and can" be ironed in one mcnth.' It is not,' thought that the cost of tresteiling this division will exceed $4,000. There is no bridging to be done on the road, and only five trestels to be built, the longest of these being 300 feet. ; Mr. Kaufman says the people all along tne Jine oi tne roaa are en to thusiastic, and that, in all prob4 dhilitv of the locomotive will be heard in the mountain fastnesses. of Jorth Caroli na. A large meeting was held in the interest of-this road at' Union C.H S.
