There was no session of the Mayor's Court, yesterday. Yesterday was comparatively pleasant ; in fact was decidedly cool in contrast with pre ceding days. "Treasun r Dave" wls in town, yesterday. Why didn't he take some stock in the Con vention, speak a piece, or something ? The first bale of this year's cotton, passed through this city a morning or two ago.

The horse started off, while the driver's hands were off the reins, and ran clear into the city. The harness was torn off and broken, but the buggy was not damaged.

"Never," says a lecturer, of whom a friend tells us, and whose theme was the auricular organ, "never box a child on the ears, when you wish to correct it. That thin mem brane that covers the tympanum might be seriously injured. The tympanum is a delicate machine, shaped like .& drum, and played upon by tco small bones, set in mo tion by the vibrations of the atmosphere, and any violent concussion would cause tb en to pound too severely on the thin cover either breaking it, or loosing the traps which can only, with the greatest difficulty, be tightened again. If you wish to punish a child in a sati&fac.ory manner, simply pour hot beeswax down its back." Why Is This Thus! In summers gone by, when the heat was not half so intense as at present, nearly every cart horse had bis head protected by a shade, Now, some of the finest animals may pe seen driven through the street all day, with no protection from the rays of the sun . . Error In the Printing of a Prophecy. Mr. Baker, our weather prophet, calls our attention to the fact that a mistake occurred in our printing of his weather predictions for this month. We quoted him as predict ing fog, rain and thunder for the 20th, when it should haye read : 20th. fog ; 21st, rain and thunder. The Summer Tights. A fight took place yesterday, at the bar room of Long & Bro , 011 College street, be iween nvo countrymen, one o: whom was tnat ne'er do-well, Clark Hall. Claikbad followed his adversary around till the thing grew intolerable, and then the man knock ed him down, and beat him to his satisfac tion and to Clark's conviction that he had waked up the wrong passenger. Then Clark threatened to waylay him with his sons, and kill him and the man swore out a peace warrant against him, and Justice Martin bound him over in $200. Clark was pretty blood. The man struck him first with a weight or something of the kind. Personal. ; Col. O. II. Dockerv, ("my son Oli-! ver, ) 01 Kiciimona county, passed through the city, yesterday morning, on bis way home from his anti-convention campaign in the "West. We bad the honor of a visit, yester day, from Rev. W. M. Robey, Presi dent of Davenport Female College, Lenoir, N. G. -. . Meeting of the Board of Aldermen- Tbe Board of Aldermen met at their ball over tbe 'Market House, yester day afternoon at 4 o'clock, Alderman Dowd presiding in the absence of tbe Mayor. The following Items of. gen eral interest, are embraced in their work : Col. T. H. Brem, J. J. Sims, Esq., and J. C. Burroughs, Esq., were ap pointed assessors of real estate in tbe city for this year. Tbe City Marshal was instructed to direct tbe authorities of all railroads running in the city, to put and keep their crossings in repair, otherwise they will be liable t the fine made and provided in such cases. In consequence of an application made by the lessees of the Market House, through Col. John E. Brown, for their own protection, a special committee, consisting of J. F. John ston, C. T. Walker and Frank Alex ander, was appointed to draft an ordi nance regulating the sale of fresh meats in the city. A committee was appointed which shall hereafter have exclusive power to make or approve contracts on ac count of the several fire companies. Aldermen Walker, Sims and Oates, compose this committee. The salary of the City Clerk and Treasurer, was reconsidered and placed at tbe same amount paid that officer last year $800. After the transaction of some other business of less importance, tbe Board adjourned. J. S. PHILLIPS, ERCHAHT TAIL0 UNDER C E II TR A L H CHARLOTTE, N. C. R , ' 0 T E Leaves this Morning.

The prisoners lately confined in Concord jair, which is now being torn down, were brought over to this city, yesterday morn ing, by Sheriff Harris, and confined in jail. They are seven in number, as follows ; Branard Kimmons and Wm K Ingram, white, and Luckey Miller, c lorcd, all in sane ; Alex Neely, colored, charged with rape and committed ' in default of $203 ; James White, colored, serving out a 12 month's sentence ; Silas Misenheimer, col ored, committed on a peace warrant ; Bryce Pharr, colored, taken from this county to Cabarrus for trial, and convicted of stealing a hog ; he is in on a fine of $50 and the costs of the suit. Opiuiou of Charlotte. A correspondent of the Wilmington Jmir- nal, writing from the Cleaveland Mineral Springs, speaks in the following terms of the Centennial City: "Charlotte cannot be said to be a manu facturing city, though she can boast of some very neat, fine and attractive residences one tobacco factory and two tan yards are her manufactories. The United States mint has been dispensed with, and the balance of the machinery at the Assayist of fice has been removed te - Washington. Notwithstanding the stringency of money and the effect ot usury, , however, new buildings are under course of construction, and. we were much pleased to see some of our vvumington mecnanics Dossing jods there. -s "There are four Railroad lines running into Charlotte, with the division of the A. & R.

Yesterday was the day for the Republican County Convention, and it met. Quite alarge crowd was in- the Court House. There were six white Republicans, a dozen or two curi ous Conservatives, and the remainder of the crowd was negroes. The meeting was open ed by postmaster McDonald, who moved that Gen Rufus Barringer be called to the chair. Gen B was accordingly called.

An article in yesterday's paper," headed "A Source of Inconvenience," was worded in mich a manner as to create the impression on the reader's minfl that Messrs McMurray & Davis, of this city, had gone into Dank- rmtcv. Such is not the case. The accounts which were necessary to be approved before a United States Commissioner, were held by Col John L Brown, trustee of the firm named, and several other firms on their own account, against Pleas B Martin, bankrupt; We reeret the blander, and all tne more De- onsA we have no exense for it, it being simply the result of our own carelessness. iSiM-easrs, J. A&Xoung &Son, fbrthe avowed purpose of buying some cloth iog. One of them put on a coat and walked up to the looking glass, and the other went with him, to examine the fit. While No. 1 was looking at himself, the other hid a boy's jacket under his coat. Mr. R. F.Stokes, who waited on them, saw the movement, and just as they started out of the door, seized the thief. The rascal turned and knocked Mr. Stokes down, but he held his grip manfully, and, tripping the negro up, got on him and held him till assistance arrived v Th e jacket was recovered and. the police marched the negro off to the lock-up. He gave his name as- Davis, and re presents himself as an" employee of the Air-Line Railroad. In the wrestle, Mr. Stokes lost his hat, and some of dates for the Convention. He was glad see so inany present, representing all classes The chairman said that he took little con cern in public life and cared nothing for of fice, but I am concerned in the peace and oral i.Ka in it of societv. I think it cannot be disguised that a movement is on foot which may land us on a troubled sea No people can change a constitution without ; some risk. Examples of the troubles originating from attempts like these, are found in the cases of Arkansas, Louisiana, to a cerUin extent in Tennessee, and in greater or less degree, in all the Southern States. I am free to say that I am not satisfied with the present constitution: It is unsuited to ns, ti? T drt not approve 01 tne manner in in any organic law. and I do not see the r.e cessily for changing it, especially when there is bo much opposition to it in both political parties; and if this constitution is overturned, it will be by the politicians who have made all the mischief and are making it still. The speaker produced the address of the Democratic State .Executive Commit tee, and charged that the Convention men through it were resorting to subterfages and appealing to the passions and prejudices of the people; this is an effort to re-organize the Democratic party on the basis of hatred of the negroes and the North. I have no especial love of the Northern people nor of the colored man. I owned you and bought and sold you, and I believe in slavery , but when you were freed, I think that you have as good a right to take part in public affairs as I have. The Democrats don't mean to guarantee you these rights further than they can he'p. They would deprive you and all poor white men of their votes if they could. They believe in the property qualification. The old Democrats have never acceded to the new order of things. I turned Demo crat long enough to fight four yeara. I fol lowed these old leaders once, but will follow them no more. Applause. There is great hostility to the tictet which is already out in this county, and if we ge out good men w can beat it. It was nomi nated by class interests, and the election of class men will bring disorder upon society. .There is a minister on the ticket. It has al ways been the boast of the Southern clergy that they held themselves aloof from poli tics, and the candidature of this gentleman is far from being satisfactory to his friends. We can bring him to shame. I stand now where I stood in 18G5. I acquiesced in the result of the war because I thought it was best. I want no office ; I dread public life. I have gone with the Republicans because I had nowhere else to go. The Republican party has inflicted untold wrongs upon the South bv the men it has put in office, and tbe only remedy is to put good men in of fice. Nominate reliable men for this Con vention, and if we do not beat the Demo crats we will give them such a scare as that they will not want to call another Conven tion soon. (Laughter and applause.) All this and a good deal more to the same pur pose, did Gen Barrincer sav. and when he had finished Mr E H Bissel offered the following pre amble and resolution : Whkbes, There has long been a spirit of unfriendliness existing between tne city anu rural elements m regard to nominating can didates for county officers and WuEBBi8. The delegates to this con vention from Charlotte Township, are de sirous of fraternal feelings, and a harmoni ous meeting, Resolved. That we extend a cordial greet iiig to our country friends and request theii earnest and undivided co-operation with us in the deliberations of this meeting, Mr Gillespie hadn't heard of any such un friendliness, and wanted the resolution read again. Somebody assured him that it was all right and, when he had become satisfied that the resolution wasn't intended to de prive him of the electiye franchise or to re duce him to slavery, he said, ah, yes, all right, but he didn't know at first but what that might have been a resolution passed at the Conservative Convention ! The resolu tion was put without beins seconded, and went through. On motion of Mr Gillespie, amended by Mr McDonald and Mr Bailey, a resolution was adopted that a committee from each township, as far as represented, be appoint ed to confer with any committee of anti Convention Democrats, and report the names agreed upon, to this Convention. Then a darkey in a long-tailed coat began skirmishing around for delegates. He first called out to know if "Burke Alexander is here?" Burke responded from the back part of the building, "yes, I'm here," and shuffled up to the front. ' Is anybody here from Provident?" No response; and then he of the long coat observed, as though it were a soliloquy, and partly as if to console the chairman, that "there was a man here from Steel Creek, but he stepped out." A Pine ville, man, was found to be "not in for the present," but the following committee was finally found : Deweese Saml Pharr, J R Gillespie, Long Creek J S Davidson, W M Martin, Lemley'8 D Blythe, - Berryhill Alfred Pressley, Paw Creek Burke Alexander, Mallard Creek Jerry Hunter, Crab Orchard Amzi Morris, Sharon John Alexander, Pineville J f' Johnston, Charlotte R E McDonald, E H Bissell, Jas Steele and G A Kiser. The committee retired and Mr McDonald made a speech. He said it had been sug gested that the names of the candidates be not reported for the present, but he was in favor of getting them in the field right away. I will take our strongest effort to elect them and it is time that we unfurl our banner to the breeze. There are many Democrats who will support them, whoever they are but these are not out here to-day, because they cannot stand the social ostracism which be falls Republicans, but they will vote with us ail the same. After abusing the Legisla ture a little, Mac subsided. Mr Bailey was called for and said he didn't come here to make a speech; but he made one, and from the way he was fortified with newspapers, Ac, we couldn't help having a sneaking notion that it was only his modesty which induced him to say that he "didn't come here to make a speech." He gave a history of the Canby Constitution, and took issue with his amiable junior, Gen Barrin ger, as to its merits. He said it is suited to all our wants, and is the best we ever had ! If the Democrats get a chance to change it, they will embody the property qualification, and this will disfranchise four.fiflhs of the Republicans . I The c colored man , and poor white man will be disfranchised and we will have an aristocracy foisted upon us. He said the Democrats had plunged "tbe coun try into one war, and cannot be trusted now. This speaker also abased the Legislature some, and then figured up hb" majorities. There will be 20 Republican delegates in the Convention, they will stay in session a few speech would have made admirable reading in the Police ?aett4 or tbe ZJay'f Doing. . , , , J T Schenck, colored, was called for. ,.He was of opinion that we have as good a con stitution as we need. I opposed the change in the constitution in 'CI. but it made me free ; if we change it now there is danger of our being made slaves. We all suffered from the war, and both white and colored are suf fering yet! . We want no change. He urged the importance of r egistering, and said that the Republicans must depend upon their own hard work to ilect a majority of the delegates ; that . they have no money to spend to buy votes! We were surprised to hear such a speech from a nero of Schenclfs intelligence. The Rey Moore, colored, was called on. He said he was unprepared, to talk on pub lic affairs. At the general conference of his church, in this city, three "years ago, it waa recommended that ministers keep clear of politics. I have noticed, though, that since that conference the State has been going Democratic all the time, and,I can't hold my peace any longer. ' Ha said he believed.in this text: "Ye that see the sword coming and warn not your people, and they are over taken and die in their blood, their blood will be required at -your hands." ( Wonder where that text hails fiom ?) He would be gin work at once. He warned his people that a cloud was rising, and if tbe Democrats are successful there ig no telling what will hap pen. At this stao the committee returned, and reported, through their chairman J II Gil lespie, the names of Col W R .Myers, of Char lotte, and Dr W M Kerr, of Long Creek, for the consideration of the meeting. After some little discussion as to the probability of their acceptance, (neither of them being present,) Mr Gillespie moved that they be accepted, and they were accordingly unani mously nominated. Mr McDonald made another talk saying : ' 'This is your last chance If the Democrats are sucessful, many of you will probably never vote again." .He urged the import ance of registering, and the appointment of committees in each township to see that the name of every Republican was on the book ol the registrar. 611 motion the meeting then adjourned. We have merely attempted a report of the speeches and proceedings. Comments will be seen on the editorial page. NEW AttVGirriSEUEYIM. NIGHTS TEMPLARS, TAKE NOTICE.
