Police Force en the 20tb.
1 Even at this early day, it is not too
early to begin to talk about an extra
police force on that day. There ought
to be at least a hundred extra police
men on that occasion. . It would be too
hard on the city of Charlotte to furnish
a permiscuous detail of that number of
men. There is a law in this State, jm-
thorking justices of the peace to detai
any number pf men of the jcounty, he
may deem necessary, tq keep order at
any public gathering. During the ex
citing campaign of 1872,' this .was done,
in several small ; towns with the - hap
piest results." It has' been proposed
that the' "Mecklenburg Zouaves' be
detailed to do police duty' AH that is
necessary to invest them with full pow
er to arrest disorderly : characters and
keep order generally; is for Justice A.
H. Martin, or ' some other Magistrate,
perhaps the Mayor, to-- authorize the
Cantain as a -constabulary officer, to
summons each member of tlie company
for police, duty and. they .will .'then be

Ceiiteuuial fancy Dress Ball.
Wc clip frbin the Lincoln Progress,
the following accountiof the recent
Fancy Dress Ball in ' Liricolnton, given
in aid of the Centennial Astociation.
It has never been our pleasure to at
tend a more pleasant or better conduct
ed entertainment than that given by
the citizens of Lincolnton, for the bene
fit of the Mecklenburg Centennial, of
Tuesday evening, 20th April. We must
say that we have never .seen a prettier
set of young ladies than those who
were present on that occasion. We
will endeavor as nearly as possible to
give a description of the costumes worn
by the different ladies and gentlemen
Miss Maggio Adams represented
"Lady Washington," wore a lilic bro
cade silk made tunic etyk OVei li white
satin overskirt, hair dressed after thi
fashion of a hundred years ' ago, pow
dered and surmounted with a caps We
feel that we tJttn Safely say that "Lady
Washington" could not compare in
beauty to her representation on Tuesday
night. - - - '
Miss Brem, of Charlotte, as "Cather
ine de Medicis," wore a court dress of
blue velvet elaborately adorned with
jewels and glided about in the dance
with grace and dlgnitybccoming A lady
of the court.
Miss Ella Lander, as "Child of the
Regiment," was dressed in a jaunty
costume a la . militaire with skirt of
crimson and black and velvet jacket
trimmed with gold braid and buttons.
We think Miss Ella could have organ
ized a regiment of men at the ball who
would have fought for her against any
odds. , - r. .., ,
J Miss Katie Motz, as "Flower Girl,"
was dressetVrq jwhite trimmed with
flowers t of every; description. Miss
Motz loobked,-wo may say simply kill
.ing. . - .r - '
Miss Sallic McBce,. as "Spring,' - wore
a dress of green r tarlatan, white veil
and flowers, " Well ; might ;it - be: said
with Miss McBec, as ' a. representation,
spring, spring, gentle springy j loveliest
season of the year.. -', ; '
; Miss Annie Mich'al, as " Night," wore
a gauzy2dresa f of black, trimmed 1 with
stars; teil and crescent ; the heavens in
all their splendor could not excell their
representation'.' l; " .?
Miss Florence Finch, as "Aurora,"
wore the tints . of the - morning -pink,
gray and whiter Miss Finch reminded
us of a bright spring morning as the
sun 'makes its appearance:; above the
eastern horison.' 1 -' 1
- Miss Marjr Hope, as a "Spanish-; La
dy," wore a handsome silk dress, scarlet
bodice, black lace veils, and high" silver
comb.- Miss Hoke s.costume was very
becoming, and wef pronounce her the
fairest Spaniard we nave ever seen
Miss Ella Alexander as 'a "Gypsey'
was dressed in a gay, plain skirt, bright
scarfs and Gy oy cnp. We can

years, and that there was much com-
plaint.of incompetency and .inefficiency
in the city government ; that our high
ways and by-ways, and Our public im
provements generally, were in a wretch;
ed condition which, was a shame and a
reproach to the conimunity that' the
condition of out highways1 was calcula

We are pleased to! see that considera;j
ble. interest is being1 manifested in ; the
comhig) city Jelectionr: ' This a is right;
We come in more! direct - contact '"with
bur municipal government -than weirdo!
with the State; or National laws,' '. and i it
is eminently f proper : that ' we should
have good city officers, -and a well regu
lated city government.; .
The Observes has not felt called on

which; are; now. struggling ifor thaSas
cendency- oity;'affairs.V3 JWe Iwillrtry
and be satisfied with anything the good
pebple "of the city may see proper to: do,
and will only remark that the demands
of the times, and of the people, that the
city government fall into good hands.: :
We believe .it more important-that
the Aldermen be live,, active business
men, than Any other city officer.' They
are more directly responsible for what
good or ill may befall us. Our best
men ought to be put forward as candi
dates for Aldermen, and we are sincer
ely of the opinion that, jkh good man
ought to shrink from the - responsibili
ties of. the position,;: when his fellow-
citizens call upon him and jvhil&iiwe
think no. one, should hesitate tot ,disr
cnarge the duties, wno as . capable, . we
are just as strongly convinc ed that it is
a. position which no man should seek
All politics ought to be religiously laid
aside, and -men .only should be voted
for who are of known integrity, and of
good.qualifications. -We should , regret
