One of the worst places in the city, is the
pavement on Tryon street! iQ front of Wads
worth's livery stable. Its condition is well
nigh impassable, and demands the instant
attention of the Street Commissioner.
After as dull and dreary a Sunday as we re
member to have ever experienced, the moon
came out gloriously about 11 o'clock Sun
day night, and the weather has continued
fair ever since,;
The Mardi-G-ras Bal Masque at the Central

One of the guests of the Central Hotel,
began yesterday by falling down a whole
flighty of steps, from the top to the bot
tom, aa he started from his room to break
fast. He hurt his head and right arm, but
not seriously.
There were slim congregations at all the
churches on Sunday, owing to the inclement
weather. There were no services for the
Tryon Street Methodist or the Second Prea
byterian congregations, owing to the illness
of the pastor, of each of these churches.

Col. Fisher tiled a petition praying Judge

Mr. Fisher, the' Receiver appointed by the
United States Court, might take possession
of the road, Col. Logan E. Bleckley, repre
senting Mr. Fisher, in an able speech of
about four houra. He was followed by Col.
Nat. Hammond, attorney for the Garner
party, who, after speaking about a half an
hour, was stopped by Judge Hopkins, who
said that he was ready to decide the case in
favor of Col. Grant remaining in possession,
or, in other words, not to grant the petition
of Mr. Fisher.
This case will probably be carried to the
Supreme Court. Atlanta Herald, of Saturday.

that a newspaper debt is the hardest debt we

Tooten's Express.
We direct attention to the advertisement
which appears in our columns this morning.
While Wooten's Express is new to ns as a
business medium, it has already taken such
firm ropt in the affections of our business
men. that it would be a hard matter to erad
icate it." Calling at the office Saturday even
ing on business, we saw 1950 founds of
freight stacked up ready for shipment over
the Carolina Central Railroad on yesterday
morning, which speaks in louder tones of its
utility than possibly anything we could
write. We understand that the Company is
doing considerable business in the shipment
of money packages, which has become quite
an item among business, men. We are re
quested by Mr. H. M. Clark, the agent,to say
that, when the necessity of the case demands

to ship over the Carolina Central, agreeing to

The town marshal, Mr. H. C. Alley, in try

The celebration which is to take place in
Charlotte the 20th next May, we may al
ready consider as an accomplished fact. The
only question to be decided is whether it
will be creditable to the brave men whose
memory it shall be to celebrate ; creditable
to the thousands of their sons and daugh
ters, who are to-day scattered throughout
the Union, and creditable to the, progressive,
go-ahead little city of Charlo:te, of which
we are justly proud, as the birth-place of
American Indepence. And. on this subject,
we may be allowed to suggest that we know
of no movement yet inaugurated, which
promises a more .favorable; augury than the
recent one made by the fire compa
nies of Charlotte. They have taken hold of
this matter with a Yiui, and we are glad to
see it, because it brings at once organiza-.
tions into the movement. All we have ever
needed to assure a grand celebration is or
ganization. The people are ready and will
ing to do all that is necessary, once an or
ganization is effected, and the plans deter
mined upon: We therefore hail with pleas

posed to be taken by the fire organizations of

State vs. Iee Dunlap M r Mean's Reso
lution. We are much gratified that Mr Means has
introduced a resolution to provide that the
State shall be properly represented in the
Supremo Gourt of the United States, in the
argument of the Dunlap case.
It is understood that the Federal Govern .
ment deems it the duty of its officers to ap
pear in behalf of Dunlap, as a citizen whose
rights are denied him in the State Courts,- so
that the State has no representative on the
criminal side of the docket in the U. S.
Supreme Court. It is not the duty of the
Attorney General of the State to prosecnte
in the U. S. Courts, and the prosecutrix, who
is a poor widow, cannot employ counsel, so
the case seems to go by default, term after
term, for the want of a lawyer to argue it.
This is a reproach to the State, whose duty
it is to protect its citizens. :
When the Federal' authorities undertook
to remove a case of murder, which occurred
in the State of Kentucky, from the Courts of
that State to the Circuit Court of the United
States, the Legislature of Kentucky, alarm
ed at this encroachment on the constitu
tional right of the State, to punish offenders
for violations of its laws, at onee by resolu
tion directed the Governor to employ coun
sel to argue the questions involved, and
Judge Black of Pennsylvania wus retained
His indignant and manly protest and able
and learned argument in the case secured a
reversal of the opinion in the Conrt below
and the prisoner was remanded to the State
Courts. Judge Black characterised the pro
vision of the Civil Right act, for removal of
criminal cases, "as a sheer flat breech of the
Constitution."
See Bylew vs United States 13, Wallace
page .581, decided in December 1971.
The Constitutional question of the right to
remove the case was avoided and the case
went otf on another ground ; that it was
not in the letter of the act.
Judge Bond, it is known, differed with the
Supreme Court of North Carolina in their
construction of the Civil Rights act. He
held that the United States had no jurisdiction
of the case, and as Judge Brooks' held other
wise the question was certified from a
divided Court, (as provided by statute), to the
Supreme Court of the United States, where
it has been pending for two years. The re
cent invasion of State Rights in Louisiana
and the re-action it has produced in the
Northern mind makes this a favorable op
portunity now to have this great Constitu
tional question decided in our favor.
