An Error.
We made an error in the little romance
which we published yesterday. We stated
that the father of tlie heroine wo-ld shortly
move her to Charlotte. Such is not the case.
He has no idea of taking her from her
adopted parents, to whom she 1? as near as
to him.! The father called on us yesterday
and asked us to make this correction, say
ing that he would never be guilty of such a
piece of bad faith. :

The New Jail.
The work on this building is. "making
haste slowly," and when it will be ready to
be occupied by aspirants for the Penitentia
ry garb, cannot be J redicted with anything
Iike3 certainty. Much of. the biick work,
after having been built, fell away through
exposure to the weather, and the necessity
for doing this work twice has greatly de
layed the progress of the building toward
completion.
Not to be Token Off: i: T'jv;C '
We understand that the authorities of the
.Richmond & Danville Railroad have recon
sideiedtheir -determinatipn i to take off the
day train, which runs between Charlotte
and the Shops.; We are truly glad to hear
this. The runningof this train is a great
accommodation to both local and through
passengers, and if .it were discontinued its
absence would be felt sensibly, J
Board, of Aldermen.
s'" Monday nigbt next is the regular meeting
night of the. Board of Aldermen. When
these Aldermen were first elected, and be
fore they had become quite accustomed to
j,heir blushing honors, meeting night did
not come half often enough. Now, it
with the utmost difficulty that they can be
gotten together, -and 'even then some of
them yield to the seductiye influences of
Morpheus, and drop eff into sleep while the
debates are in progress. v - . ' , T-
Repairing the Streets. " 1 '
V So great is our joy. that we feel like ten
dering somebody: a banquet.; The work of
fixing -the street between the Mint and the
Air Line Depot, has been begun. Good solid
rocks are being put In the great bogs in the
Streets,' end, when' these "are filled up, the
streets will be, if not good, certainly better.
But this ' is not all. ; Next week a quaptity
of the decayed granite-which abounds bear
King's . Mountain, will be brought over on
the Air Line Railroad, and put on .the street.
The railroad ' crosses" the; street, ' and - the
fctone can .be de'ivered .on the spot with
little "trouble and cost'i, I? enough of it is
brought, this street,? which is now a dis
grace to the city, can be made not only
passable, but good and solid . For the ira
proyement which -has already been made
and, is making, we cDinmend Street Com
missioner Northey, and place it to his credl
. keep against all public officers.-' 7..
To Change the Gagexs -,vrr t. r -j I
We.andeqstandr from a' source whicn.-we l
consider entirely reliable, that, in accord-1
ance with X the decision " of the Sunreme
Court, rendered on Thursday, the Richtaond
& Danyille Railroad Company will change
the gauge of the North Carolina Railroad
between Greensboro and Charlotte, in a very
hort time two or "three weeks at the far-
thesf4a. correspond with' that of the R. &
iJ.roaa
give the Piedmont" Air Line Railway Com-
pany, a uniform gt.uge from .Richmond to
Atlanta. ; The changing of this gauge ineed
not materially interfere with the running of
trains, as the work can be done in a day
and a half or two days.
Runaway and Smash Up. .
Yesterday morning a wagon -and two
horses, belonging to. ,R. I. McDowell, Esq.,
were standing by the platform of the Char-
lotte; Columbia & Augusta iZailroad Depot, J
when the 'horses" became, frightened, i and I
UtiM&l frill WT ri fffveof Hom anili I
ed off into a lot, and ran th -wagon against I
the porch of a small , house occupied by
colored people.l tearing part of it away,
They then started back into the street, when
the wagon was' caught on some posts in
front of the house, and ma'le a perfect
wreck. The horses were thrown down, and
the harness had to be taken off them before
they could get up. One of them was some
what, but not 'seriously hurt. The rem
nants bf the. wagon are lying in the streets
yet, each separate piece apart to itself.
Columns Open.
We have been requested to make a correc
tion, in regard to some statements made by
the Obsebvkb relating to the amoun t of mon
ey raised some years ago, for the purpose of
erecting a monument to the signers of the
Mecklenburg Declaration, but after due con
sideration we have concluded that the party
interested is the proper one to do so. Our
columns are now open to him for that pur
pose.
The Cotton Trade in this Ia, ket.
The veiy close figures on which the great
branches of commerce are now conducted,
has brought out the most minute scrutiny
into every department of trade, and wher
ever the buyer or seller observes a chance of
economizing to advantage an attempt is im
mediately made to throw off what appears
to"be an unnecessary charge, and an obstruc
tion that stands in the way of a possible
profit. The great staple, cotton, owing to
its spongy character, is an immense absorber
of moisture, and consequently in transi
tions of the weather from day to day to wet
or the reverse, the weight of the article rap
idly varies. Hence the disappointments
which purchasers at times necessarily expe
rience in the outturn of the weight falling
considerably short of what their bills call
for. It seems to us that it would be a good
idea if it were required that all cotton should
be sold at delivery weight, and that, finally,
if necessary, the cotton should be tested by
such weighers as the party who complains,
should any complain, "might Eelect. In this
market the cotton weighers are competent
and careful officials, aud it might be left to
them to exercise their judgment in allowing
for such loss in weight as the condition of
the bale seem3 to them to justify.
The Meeting To-NIght.
We take occasion this morning to again
call attention to the meeting which is to take
place in the editorial rooms of the Observer
to-night, to prepare for the proper celebra
tion of the coming Centennial. We are
glad to se8 the fire organization, and the
military companies getting ready for their
part of the work which is to be done, but
we think that it is the duty of the citizens,
to take the lead in this matter. We are to
have thousands of visitors, and some com
mittee must be appointed to receive and
care for our guests. We do not know what
plan will be agreed upon; but we do assert
most positively that some rule of action
ought to be adopted at once. " ,
We suppose that any attempt at an in
dustrial exhibition has long since been
abandoned, if it was ever seriously enter-
tiahed.but we do know that the world ex
pects us to do our duty, and that cannot ; be
less than to have a half dozen speeches from
prominent men, a big dinner, and a general
jollification, in which we can all participate,
feeling that it was good that we lived in
the goodly city of Charlotte, which lead the
van, among the patriots of the American
Revolution.' -
A proper committee ought to be appoint
ed to solicit subscriptions for the dinner.
and to impress it upon every individral,
that it is his duty to give something. . A
very important step would be to ask a copy
of Gov Graham's most admirable address
for publication, which ought to be dono at
once, and scattered broadcast" over the
country. The people are ripe for the cele
bration, if the thing can be touched off in
the right way. Any otl.er than the right
way, and it will assuredly be a flash. Let
the proper enthusiasm be aroused, and old
Mecklenburg will come up an ngnt, ine
Legislature has refused, up to this time, to
give us the paltrv sum asked for. Let ; ns
show the world in 1875, that we are as ready
to d our duty now, as were our patriot
fathers to do -theirs in 1775.
Suicide at - II Urb Point A Distressing'
. j, Occurrence:.,,..,;, , . j,...
We learn from Capt. D. P. Egon, the con
ductor of the day train on the North Caro
lina Railroad, that Mr. A. V. Sullivan com
mitted f suicide . at . High Point yesterday
morning between 9 and : 10 o'clock. The
means .which he employed to bring his life
to an end, were an ounce Jof laudanum and
a pistol. The deed was'not committed in
the Tillage, but at a pond near by, and the
fact that it had been 'committed, was first
discovered by a physician who was passing
by, and who, seeing a hat and coat lying by
a tree, recognized them as the property of
Mr. Sullivan.- Going to the pond he found
the lifeless body, of Mr, S. i in the waters
edge, with a bullet -hole-through, the brain.
Near to the place where the clothes-bad
been laid, was an , empty phial, which, as
was learned from a druggist afterwards, had
contained an 7 ounce; of. laudanum - If is
reasonably' presumed ""that Mr. Sullivan
drank the laudalum, and that apprehending
that this would not kill him, walked into
the water and shot himself, as described.' .
He had been married but a few weeks
and feft a letter stating that the reason
which impelled him' to suicide was financial
embarrassment '; that : he could not support
bis wife aa he would like, and so preferred
not to live at all. a H told of having money
in oneof the Cbarloit; banks, also in his safe,
and expressed the belief bat his; assets
would cover his liabilities. He begged that
his friends would look Ien!ently upan his
crime, and said that he hoped for God's for
giveness for the commission of it. " ' 'f .
I Mr. Sullivan wsj, for; quite a. length; -or
time, epot agent at High Point, and at the
time of his death was express agent for that
place and Winston He was a man of racial
position and of unblemished reputation,

' Iq days ing since ' past, Charlotte was
won't to prqve a. profitable place to the or
gan grinder,-; His strains suddenly breaking
in, like a racloHious dream, upon the tedious
monotony of ihe inhabitants, never failed to
agitptei the little city, and attract an admir
ing; audience, from" the. fullness of whose
rr" "ra"f ' T "
flowefL .'But, .the melancholy days have
come," "and sooth" to" tell," the community
receives iim, barring the fidelity of the rag
muffins,with the stoical indifference of an
experienaed city. He describes, once, the
radius of his erank,and, lo ! here they are ;
from Uie by-lanes, and corners and number
less places, with 'welcoming countenances,
they 'come." With admiring visages agape,
they orm prom iscuously around himi

bevel in the spacious freedom of a Dair of old
shoes, one of which misht serve him for a
convenient coffin in case of sudden death,
And the next but it would take too much
time to describe each oneofthis approving
grouu.
Ah ! this is, indeed, fame ; to be enthron
ed in these faithful hearts. But the grinder
doesn't seem to appreciate it. He turns out
one tune but does not discover the com
motion in the other classes, he created of
yore. He fancies his instrument has lost
some of its intensity of tone.and is not yet
heard. Therefore he grinds the harder, per
seryersing to the end of his third tune ;
when the sad truth is forced upon him, and
with a last wistful survey, he reluctantly
shoulders his organ and mournfully trudges
away. His little friends seeing him sad,
.follow him, determined to' console him
with their .cheering countenance. Noble
hearts!
Even when the grinders make an extra
effort to please, and bring their instruments
on wheels, they seem to fare no better.
Verily the grinders are not appreciated.
M.
The Great Anti-Periodic.
h e certainty and promptitude wit,
which Hostetter's Stomach Bitters conquer
the most obstinate cases of malarial disease
and the complete protec'ion which they af
ford the system against the miasn: atic poi
son which impregnates the air of low-lying,
marshy localities, stamp them as the fore
most of American antiperiodics. Wherever
on this continent fever and ague is a regular
visitant in the bottom lands, of the South.
the new clearings and mining districts of
tne west, and in all localities in the .Eastern
and Middle States where malaria prevails,
the Bitters are recognized as the only true
specific for the disease, and its most reliable
preventive. They arc, moreover, a safe and
agreeable as well as a certain remedy, and
on this account are immeasurably superior
to the preparations of quinine, arsenic, bis
muth, and other mineral poisons mistakenly
ad ministered as curatives for maladies caus
ed by miasma, whicb.fcif persisted in, work
rreparable injury to the constitution.
Unfortunately, feyer and ague, and be
other febrile complaints generated by mias
ma, are not the only evils which result from
it. A great variety of disorders are super
induced by the irritation which it causes.
Among these are neuralgia, rheumatism"
gout, periodical headache, palpitation, pain
ful. &jp&tioQ3 . of the .spleen, and various
derangements of the stomach. When trace
able to malaria, the above affections are apt
to assume, like the disease which originated
them, an intermittent type ; that is to say,
they recur at regular intervuls. Hostetter's
Bitten, however, obviates tbem all, banish
ing the miasmatic virus from the system.
