The Convention Campaign 'Will be opened on Tuesday, 20th iust., at Steele Creek, when Sheriff Alexander will begin the collection, of the State and county taxes, for 1875. It is understood that Col Johnston and Mr Ransom, the Conservative nominees, will attend all the tax-gatherings with the Sheriff, and meet with their fellow- citizens. - Dullness In Prospective. The picnic season has, iq all probability, ended : it is too hot to dance, no parties or marriages are billed to take place very soon, everybody who is able to do so, will soon hie them to the springs, the mountains or seacoast, and, all In all, there is a prospect that a superabundance of dullness will fall to the lot of those who expect to remain in the city for the next two months. Ht Nljrht Blooming Ce reus. Another night blooming cereus . plant, in the hot house of Mr Geo Gleason.put forth 2 blooms, last night. We are sorry that press ing office duties debarred 'us of the pleas- uae of seeing' these peerless flowers. One never grows tired looking at them, as their transparent whiteness,' delicate' texture and delicious' fragrance, render them , the more captivating tne longer contemplated. Strike of Street laborers. The negroes employed by Messrs Diffendal & Co., in grading Trde street preparatory to macadamizing ! it, have 'struck and quit work. ; This strike was not on accouni of any alleged insufficiency of pay, but because the contractors, according to the terms of their contract, are only paid monthly, and can only . pay their employees as they them selves are paid.'. The negroes say they must be paid be the week else they cannot sup ply themselves witli ration. For the pres ent, work has been suspended op tb streets. City Taxes. Capt Fred Nash, City Clerk and Treasurer, has returned to the city, and is anxious to have citizens call at his office aqd. make re turns of their taxable. Even those Who have nothing but polls to return, must je turn these, and a fine, of, $200 is , allowed by law. to be imposed iq case of every; failure. by neglect orothetwise, of this matter1.-' The time for. making return is nearly at r an end and it is of Importance that heed be paid this notice." A delinquett list will be made out this year, and nd mistake. ! ' ' Needs Widening1. ' One matter to which, we wish 'to direct the attention of the city or railroad authorities, or who evers business it is i and that is to the necessity for a wider bridge oyer "the North; Carolina Railroad; where it crosses Trade street. ; So narrow, is this bridge,-that two.' vehicles cannot, pass each other on 'lit; I aDd much incdriven I fin attention Iias spvftrftl times .been called ia this matter., ' and we, in, turn, now icall some dae else's attention to it.- " Cabarrus Court ' Fl ' 1 1 Vetfit Is in session now.. .The court!; is held in a store' room, in the absence of a Court House.

No one was hurt at all, but' the' occupants ui nie ouiiuiug, as can ub liiiagiuei, were very much frightened; s 'The damage io the mill was lights and can easily be repaired Important to Druggists. , t . . : Nearly every druggist prepares citrate of magnesia for his trade, , A few days ago an Iowa revenue agent seized a quantity of it, maintaining that U was a violation of the revenue laws. The supervisor did not agree with him however, as he did -not think it was a patent. medicine, or liable to tax. The matter was referred to ; the department; at Washington, and the following is the opin ion of the Commissioner : : ' r. . , "I have to state that the medicine, is offic ial as you state, hut it is pot up in a ityle or manner similar to that, of patent or proprie tary medicines in general haying' directions lor its nse printed on tne label, and witnout the formula by wnicn it is made being eith er printed or referred' to on the label, and consequently, in the, opinion of this office, is liable t stamp tax,'; , ....,; t This ruling is of interest and importance to druggists generally. The Blackberry Crop. ' It appears that North Cirolin furnishes three-fourths of the dried blackberry crop of this country 15,000 barrels out of 20,000 raised. A Georgia contemporaiy does not ?i3h to see its State waste any longer a crop that paid North 'Ciroliha id half million of dollars last year. It contends that drying blackberries at 5 1' cents ; pet pdii nd is 1 far more profitable than raising cotton at 15 tents. s ; ; . i The large number of unem ployed women and children throughout the country every where this berry grows, could be profitably employed in gathering drying and prepay ing them for market. So with whortleber ries whijh will now soon be ripe. The gen eral destruction of the fruit crop this year will cause all kinds to be greatly sought for, and command a high price, during the com ing winter. Railway Collision. A collision occurred, day before yesterday, about S miles from the city on the Air Line Railroad. A freight train was coming to ward Charlotte, followed closely by the en gine, No. 22, without a train. A temporary i de-track had been laid about the place in dicated, for the accommodation of a gray el train, which was then ditching on the road, and upon this side track the gravel train moved, .until the freight should have passed. t passed without stopping, and so soon as it had gotten by, the gravel train, being un aware of the approach of the No. 22, pulled out and started southward. The two met on the Paw Creek grade, and before either could stop, a collision ensued. Both of the engines were somewhat "stove up," and two or three of the flats suffered, but no serious damage resulted. The Speed of Railroad Trains. , An engineer on the North Carolina Rail- road was before the , Mayor, yesterday, for rapid running through the city. He is a new man; and, pleading ignorance of the city ordinance on the subject, was released upon the payment bf costs:" We call the at tention of railway authorities, to the fact that the ordinance prohibits the'iruniung; pf prohibits the running trains in the city at a rate exceeding four miles an hour, . and . imposes a fine of $50 for each violation. It also provides that the engine bells shall be rung at each crossing and provides further, a fine of $20 if a train is left standing on a' crossing in such a man ner as to obstruct the passage of pedestrians and vehicles. City Marshal Alexander authorizes us to 6ay that, benceforth, thisj crd'nance iWUl.be strictly enforced. .

Out of a total of two hundred and thirteen deaths in Baltimore last week, seventy -four were children swept off by cholera infantum and sixteen by scarlet feyer. The total deaths of children under one year were one hundred and ten, and the total under five years 144, Cholera infantum is always in cidental to excessively hot weather in cities In view of these facts we would suggest to parents in this city, that mountain air and sea air, or indeed almost any healthy locality in the country, will prove the surest preventive and the best restorative to the thousands of little sufferers who languish in the city during this trying weather, For children whose parents have no refuge of the sort indicated, all the time thaf. can be spent with the little ones in the fresh air in the cool part of the day,' will be found highly beneficial, and enable weak and drooping infants to fight the season through success fully. A Praud A woman, claiming to be Belle Boyd, the Confederate spy,, lectured at Chester a few niehts azo. There is not a newspaper in the country but knows that she is a fn.ud and as her general appearance and demeanor would indicate, not possessed of tnose vir tues which distinguish her sex. It appears that she holds the press, wherever sue goes, in terror but one. we belieye, the Atlanta News, having the courage to speak just wnat it thought of her. Tbe result ' was that "Be He" attempted - to wwtiide tne editor, but having the tables turned got -aMecent flogging herself, one visited . unariotte few weeks ago, and.

It is rare that a great commander is a good writer the same hand not often being gifted witn the capacity to bold the sword and the pen with equal skill. From the Springfield Union. .
