City Bulletin. .
What delightful weather for August, Is
what everybody says.
Don't lose your vote to-day. No matter
what turns up, if you are alive, go to the
polls and vote.
. Jeff Heagler, colored, says, "damn a white
man that will desert his own olor," and we
agree with Jeff.
Let not a single white man stay at home
to-day. Let every one come out to the polls
and vote the white man's ticket.
Jefferson Heagler advertises in another,
column that he has nothing to do with the
excursion which will leave this city on Sun
day. Lyery thing else was lost sight of yester
day, in the contemplation of the sudden
death of our late lamented fellow-townsman

' T STARTLING; DEATH J ,. ,
i The Sudden Death of Thomas Webber
. - Dewey. - ' j
"The Angel of Death spreads' his wings on
the blast." ; , -ai
A thrill of horror and astonishment ran
through Charlotte, yesterday morning, when
the news flashed oyer the city that Thomas
W Deweyv Cashier of the Bank of Mecklenr
burg, was dead I 80 sudden, so entirely un
expected was the announcement, that the
report was hardly : credited when told the
first; time; and the shock was mingled with
incredulity. In an astonishingly short time
the unwelcome news had spread from ' one
end of the city to the other and was on the
lips of everybody. ; , ,tj ... .y,.:r
, Mr Dewey had been slightly un wel l for a
few days, but nothing of a serious nature
was apprehended. ' At 11 O'clock on Tues
day night, he complained of restlessness and
an inability to sleep and sent for a physician
who administered a small dose of morphine.
At 1 o'clock he was morer comfortable, re
clining on a lounge in! his chamber.' ' His
family retired, leaving him, as they thought,
quiet for the nights At 5 o'clock in the
morning, Mrs Dewey woke and 1 found him
still lying on the lounge; : she' went to him
and found him lifeless. Every effort thai
science could suggest was used, to resusci
tate him, but to no effect , The opinion of
his physicians is that he died from apo
plexy. :
Mr Dewey, inoyed from Raleigh, N C, to
this city twenty-two years ago, He was
Cashier of the Bank of Norih Calreiina,
from the date of its' organization at this
place until after the war. In 1865 he was
elected Cashier of the First National Bank of
Charlotte, which position be filled until
oao u. t 1.. .t -
xcuo, wueu ue orgaiuzeu lue janxing nouse
of Thos. W, Dewey & Co., afterwards Tate
& Dewey, of which firms he was Cashier and
principal basinets -manager. At the organi
zation of the Bank of. Mecklenburg he was
elected Cashier, and held this position nntil
the date of his death
Mr. Dewey was one of Charlotte's most
liberal minded and public spirited citizens.
Every enterprise ever started in the city re
ceived from him a most liberal encourage
ment. AS a banking officer and accoun tan t,
he had no superiofin ' the State. Possessed
of a brilliant mind, well'cuttivafed, a genial
disposition, he was a charm to the social
circle. The bankers, merchants, mechanics
and business men of Charlotte, stop to shed
a silent tear to his memory. '
As a member of the Masonic fraternity, he
stood high. At the date of bis death he was
Treasurer of the Masonic Temple Associa
tion, Past Master, o Phalanx Lodge, High
Priest of Charlotte Chapter No. 39, Grand
High Priest of the State of North Carolina,
and Generalis&imo in Conitnandery No. 2. at
Charlotte.
, He was 48 years of age.
We ft el on rself incapable of doing justice
to the memory of the man of whom we
write, and will leave the task to an abler
and more-eloquent pen. His- many noble
qualities are embalmed in the hearts of his
fellow-citizens in more enduring f irm than
if emblazoned upon granite or marble, and
though now the "silver cord be loosed, and
the golden bowl be broken, and the pitcher
broken at the fountain and' the wheel bro
ken at the cistern," his memory will ever
live iu the hearts of legions of friends, and
his nobility of character and unsullied
name will remain long after his body shall
have returned to the dust from which it
was taken.
A portion of Mr Dewey's family is absent
from the city at present, but will probably
return this morning.
The funeral services will take place from
the First Presbyterian hurch, at 9 o'clock,
this morning. ' His remains will be deposited
by his Masonic brethren, in Elm wood Ceme
tery, and . the . green sod that : , rests
over his grave, will be watered by the tears
of many friends. , , .
Tbe Sudden Death of M n. Severs. 1
We mentioned, yesterday morning,
that Mrs.. H, C. Severs, Sen., fell out of
her door on Tuesday night and broke
her neck. We learn that the distance
to the ground is about three feet. All

paid little heed to it, Until . she -heard

if she was hurt, she made some re

'.Tuesday night, a thief entered the premises
of MrNeill Baker', who liyes about 2i miles
from the citj, by breaking' the lock' of the
gate, and then' drawing the staple in the
Stable door, took his horse one. ' ' About day
light Mr B heard the whickering of a horse
and having; his suspicion aroased, -went out
to see What was the matter. . He found his
horse standing outside the gate without sad-: ;
dler or bridle,' and examining him,,ibun4
several severe gashes cut, on diffiren parts;
of his body and On his legs. The horse gave
every evidence of having been' ridden hard,.,
and Mr Baker is of the opinion that some
one stole it and was tiding rapidly when it
stumbled and ' fell, throwing its rider and
thus getting away. Who it was is not known
and no one is even suspected.

and the boy's fright and sufferings were very
gieat. 1 It was only after persistent choking
that the savage brute could be made to relin
quish his hold, upon the flesh of the child.
Tbe Providence DriUing1.
A negro man from the city was at Provi
dence yesterday, and returning last evening,
confirms the report which we published yes-
terday. of the negroes drilling. He says
that they have been listening to the teach
ings of one Jim Steele, a negro preacher,
Who ' actually "made the remark that -" we
will carry this box if we have to swim in
b lood." Steele told the. negroes thai he had
been sent out by the government to' preach
this, doctrine . to , them. After collecting
what money he could out of them, he ran
away. ; The negro who was at- Providence -yesterday,
is a Radical, and the Radicals can
therefore' make Out of this affair whatever'
they choose. ' ' : '
Too Late. :
A letter was received in this city, yester
day, froni Lige. He asks the gentleman to
whom it is written to come to us and exact
from, us a promise to say nothing about that
chloride of zinc,, and;pledges us his word
that he (Lige) will never repeat again. Ah,
Lige, we've seen young men on the stool of
repentance afore now, for repeating ; in fact,
we have: been there ourself; but that was
long ago, when we were young. However,
we will say nothing more abiut it, if Lige
will promise us that hereafter when he
takes one Ht)le "whet" to revive his spirits,
he won't go to drinking zinc to keep it com
pany. Important Announcement.

Cussing JHeu.
It is a question which has been very much
discussed of late, who of all the men known
in Charlotte, can cuss the best. There are
four favorites, all of whom are railroad men
except one, and he has been until recently.
It is claimed by the champions of lone, who
is now connected with a South; Carolina
Railroad, but who was formerly .a conduc

THE SPEAKING LAST NIGHT. '

Stirring' Campaigfn Speeches on In

, ..i . - ' 7T! ;,;r 1 .'1
, . Last; night a.large crowd, composed
of both partjeaand colors,aseembled$n
Independence. ; Square to . bear the
speeches which had .been announced
to- be delivered . there. A, goods- box
served ,as the platform, and. closely
around, ths; the crowd , was gathered.'
Cot iVVm . .Johnston, one of our norni"
nees, began speaking about 9, o'clock.
After an appropriate introduction, he
paid hia respects to. the Canbj ;i Con:
stitution? ho w jit was made and foisted
upon, the people ; Jw aMuCOOaof
the best white men ; in the.,. State
wefe . .disfranchised at ,. the time,
and ; ; j how , their : , places ; at , the
ballot .bqxi; were filled by 3,000
ignorant, and newly, enfranchised ne
groes. It is essentially a bayonet
Constitution, and in its adoption there
was a violation of the fir$t principles
of republican government, There is
no telliug.who ; was elected , to . that
Convention, as the votes were counted
by Canby, who , retumedi whoever he
chose, Que, of our townsmen, H. W.
Guion, then living in the east, is. con
fident that-. he was. elected by 1,000
majority, and yet he was declared de
feated. This same, 1 satrap removed
Gov. Worth, bani the people had
elected, and placed in his stead, W. W.
Holdeo.:-; After! many other instances
of how, we were goteroed entirely :by.
bayonets at that time, and had a free
government only in nam e Col. John
ston went. on tOispeak of . the . defects
of; the preeeqt.K Constitution o which
needed to. be : remedied., , At present
we have at Raleigh aeen. oreight bp:
reaus, which divide am ong them the
duties formerly,; discharged byil the
Treasurer, .Auditor and Attorney .Gen
eral. There were only seven or ' eight
judges before the war, and. these were
paid $l,95Qper.Annum ; now there are

Court Judges, now there are five. Re
duce the number of judges and their
salaries to what they were . in old
times, and we have a saving of 415,000
in the judicial department atone. The
judges should also ride different cir
cuits, these numerous othces were
made by carpet-baggers to be filled by
themselves at ..large salaries. Mjtiiy
other needed changes were, referred
to, and then Barringer a,ud jerr ,weie
hauled over the coals for awhile,.
Col. Johnston spoke of many thing
to which we would refer, had we time,
The restrictions placed upon the Con
vention were held.., to be binding ;
Judges taking the stump was advert
ed to in severe terms the charge that
the Democrats want to put the negroes
back into slavery was made ridiculous;
the fact that the. Constitution, after
being made, must be submitted to tbe
people, was alluded toj the $5,005 spent
by the first Radical Legislature which
met under the present Constitution
was another , good point made. The
speaker told of all the special tax
bonds which", that Legislature haci is
sued and stolen, and warned, the peo
ple that another Radical. Legislature

now in advance that Radical who are iaau-
ing and distributing circulars oyer the coun

of making1 U ippear that I am opposed to

inees for Convention, do me great injustice.
My paper shows ihat I have done sill could

been alluded to and represented In a
circular issued by Radicals lor the purpose

pear that I had 'recentjf i Expressed ppposi-.
tion to him, I denounce such conduct and
intimations as unfair, an unjust, and cal
culated io-pht bW tn 'a false position, I in
tend to vote iVr Johnston andi Raason, and
have publicly and, privately beggel every
white man to flo so. I have never 'neglect

Democratic oi ; (nseryav . jr 'from the
day l was twenty-one years old w th pres

now hesitate to say that it is the duty to

county, to support Col Wm Johnston and

It is true, I doubted the propriety of the
LegislaturecalUng a Convention this year,
but inaamulAs it has beerf called and will
certainly assemble, it Is bf the utmost im

to revise and amend the Constitution, and

I reeret that a political circular, issued by
myself and others, should have exblted the
wrath of Ool. Wm. Johnston; and prompted
him to call me a lhw and other 'epithet. I
do not see bow Colonel Johnston can say
that Mr.. Yates has . not denounced turn as
corrnpt j but to ease his mind . I will state
thatin a circular, dated January 20,1870,
Mr.-Yates, under his own signature, says
