Col E R Liles, the editor of the Wades- borv Herald, was in Charlotte last week, and in the last issue of his paper gives a spicy running account of his visit. He touches npon men and things about the city, gives incidents of the trio. and. all in alt. writes a highly vigorous and interesting letter. Illness of Col Isaac W Ilayne, The many relatives and fiieuds of this distinguished gentleman will be pained to hear that he is lying very low at his home in Charleston, S. C. There are little hopes entertained for his recovery, and his son W EHavne. Jr., ha been railed ti bis bed side. - South Carolina Baptist Conventloa The Spartanburg (S. C.) Heiald, instead of reporting for itself the proceedings of the South Carolina Baptist State Convention which was in session in that town last week. publishes instead the report as prepared for and pablished in the Obskivcb. This is quite a compliment to our reporter, Rev R H Griffith to whom we are much indebted for such accurate accounts of the doices of the body. No light. If trere is a night ont of the 3C5 when the street lamps should have been lighted, last night was that night. And still there was no light. Rain began falling about dark, and from 8 o'clock on through the night, Doured dowsi incessantly. There was no moonlight nothing but "a darkness which could be felt" and many an imprecation was heaped upon the head of those at fault. by the luck less pedestrians who first butted trees and then stumbled into gutters. Why begin this lamp lighting if, when it is most heeded, it is to be suspended ? Ratlaual Aransement, Ob, Yesl An organ grinder to speak.of has made his personal appearance in our midft. He has two performing monkeys, and the way they do perform is a caution, lhey jump threugh hoops, load and shoot guns, play the fiddle, beat tbe drum and perform other similar deeds of high and noble emprise, till you can't rest. And tbe delight which they o casion in the great heart of the city, is only equalled by the multiplicity of tbe shekels which their talents put into the coffers of the "dark-eyed son of Italia," who does himself the henor to call himself their proprietor. Iredell Court. We learn from a gentleman who is just front Statesville, that the case of the man Howard, for killing a negro, which came up in I edell Court on Wednesday, was post poned until yesterday, on account of the ab sence of a witness, Mr J L P Roueche, an engineer' on the Atlantic, Tennessee & Ohio Railroad, who was then in this city, A not pro? was ' entered " in the case of Nathaniel Boyden , who was charged with forgery. Judge Cloud was present as a witness in the last named suit, and a young man from Charlotte whistled a few bars for his enter tainment. , If Cloud had been the Judge at this court ne would nave nad the young man put in jail for contempt of Court even though the whistling was, done .twthe . - : . -J "- Personaf-t j''' rt-'i ., Capt Phineas Hortpn, ex-State ..Senator of Wilkes county, Capt Natt Atkinson, former editor of the Asheville Citizen, and GW Logan, ex-Judge of the Superior Court for the Ninth District, are all in the city.

Cot Johnston reports that great enthusiasm prevailed in the Cbn- vention, and thinks that a sentiment radiat ed from ftJwhicH will result in good to the project had In hand. ' f ; Capt Jos W White, who spent last Winter iu Charlotte as the-', agent ' of the I Atlaitib Coast Line, is here again for the " winter as he reDresentatiVe' of. the1. Midland Route. and will' make rather a specialty of , emi grant travel. His office will be at the Char- lotte, Columbia & Augusta Depot. Heavy .tJaa BBrnlng. The amount of gas consumed by the Cen tral Hotel from the 1st of November to the 1st of December, .'was 37,900 feet? and the cost of this was about $112. This is rather above the average of this house for the win ter months, but the average amount of gas burned in the Central Hotel alone is, month by month, greater than that consumed by J the whole of the town of Salisbury. This statement is macjeby Mi Linton, the Super intendent of the; company which bupplies the Central Hotel, and who was for many years, and until recently, theSuperintendent of thQ Salisbury gas works. The Season. The Autumn days.with their many colored leaves, the Indian Summer weather, and all the glories attending upon them, have pass ed away, and the e darkness and gloom of yesterday reminded us of the presence of Old Winter, and of the words of the poet : - Autumn days, now gone forever, We have olde-grwn, and sadder, Since' our childish feet grew weary uiimning up ute's golden ladder : Long we oil times for Novembers, Wmcn have long ago departed. Leaving us each passing season . U Icier grown and sadder-hearted. The Augusta Races. The horses named in the following, are well known in this city, and the result of the races chronicled will prove of interest to our citizens. The Augusta constitutionalist says that, at the Fair. Grounds of that city on Tuesday, the unfinished race was finish ed by Mary Long winning the heat by half a length, lime, 1:501. In the second heat, Mary Long came in two lengths ahead, win ning the race. Time, 1:49. In the second race,, half-mile dash, Ascot won easily in 511. The remaining horses came in the followiug order, there being not half a length's difference between the hors es Mollis Darling, Muggins and Vandal, Jr. Arrest f Commercial Tourists. A couple of "commercial tourists'1 from this city and one from Philadelphia, who I is well known among basiness men here, are very hot about having been arretted in Wil mington on Monday last, for selling goods by sample without having a special city license. They had licenses from the State, and these are all that are reqiireJ. The law is explicit in saying that no municipal ity shall have the right to levy a tax upon this class of tradesmen in addition to that levied by the State. The gentlemen were arrested by an ignorant negro policeman and were discharged when an investigation was had. Our sister city should do better than this, else me "jnitstonams win uegin 10 give her a wide berth. The Days of Chivalry Redlvlvus. Those who sometimes fear that the days of chivalry are passing away, will learn with joy and gladness that there will be a tourna ment at Fray's Academy, in Wake county. on the 24th inst., when the male-clad war riors will risk their liyes and limbs, (becaase many of the gallant steeds will be blind and many of the noble knights will be blind drunk,) in contending for the honor of placing a crown of turnip tops npon tbe head of the "Queen and Love and Beauty." We presume that Stone, of tbe Raleigh News, will deliver the address on the occa sion, and tell tne' sir xnignts' now mucn they remind him of Ivanhoe and Richard Coeur de Lion ; but never say a word about why tbe agricultural interest languish in Wake county, or why the complaint of the scaicity of field hands is so general among the farmers. A New Patent by a Charlotte Shoemaker. Mr J J Allred, an employee in the shoe manufactory of Messrs Sample, Alexander & Co., has just obtained a patent from the department at Washington, for a new eye- letting machine. In this invention he has combined the machine which punches the holes for the eyelets, and also the one which puts the eyelets in, so that both the punch ing and eyeietting is done by the same treadling In addition to this, the present punch, by wbich the regularity of the holes is determined altogether by the eye, is so improved upon that it feeds itself and can be so gauged as to make the holes any dis tance apart that may be desired. The invention is one which is destined to prove of great advantage in shoe manufac tories. It will cause a great saving of both time and labor, since one machine will do the work at present done by two, and not only so, but do it better. Mr Allred has al ways been a laboring man, and Came to this city from Thomasville. He has displayed great genius in this new invention, and we trust that he will realize something hand some from it. "The Barber of Seville.? This evening the Adelaide Phillipps Ital ian Opera Company will present this opera in our city. We feel sincerely interested in a crowded house being present, and this in terest grows jnore out of our ' jealousy for Charlotte's ' reputation as an appreciative community, than anything else. We should feel ashamed for the city if such a combina tion of talent should stop here and play to empty seats. There is no telling when such an artist as Phillipps will again visit the South, and those who fail to hear her to night, will have something to regret. "The Barber of Seville, we are told, is ra highly humorous opera, and in it will he introduc ed the song, "The Rosebush JTree,'?, "Com ing . Through , the Rye,'", and "Kathleen Mavoureen," or at least two of these. In closing th is notice ; we again express the hope of seeing a packed house to-night and append the following notice of 'toe opera from the Richmond Enquirer1 of last Fri day - Rossini's comic opera, entitled "II Bar- biere ai Bivieiia." was produced oy tne rJTWiiirps opera troupe ia evening in a W6t.9rtoble manner. The audience was j rather larger than has assembled before this week, and as asuaj was appreciative and in clined to be enthusiastic, , Miss Phillipps sang Rosina" with pleasing, effect and act ed it admirably. Her by-play was a con summate piece of art, and kept the audience in a gtonooa good humor the entire even ing. In the music-lesson scene) she sang the lauzhine sone entitled VBedelan" in in imitable style, and in response; to an encore she sang ."'The Kosebush Tree'' with a pathos and feeling that almost brought tears to the Ses of her auditors. As the last note ol e beautiful song fell from her lips, long and loud applause burst - forth and Miss Phillipps was compelled again to advance to the loot lights, when she gave "Coming Thro the Rye," in a manner that "brought down the house." Mr Tom Karl played "Count Almavira," and acted and sane ex cellently. Signer Carpi as "Figaro," and mgnor BMceui as "Ui. uartoio," were very droll, and convulsed the audience .by their comic antics. The Conrta. i StJtEBtoE Court. The civil issue docket was taken up upon the assembling of Court, ytsterday morning, and was hammered up on until about 1 o'clock P. M., without any cases of moment having been disposed' of. At the hour named, the criminal docket was resumed, and the first case tried was that of Tom Rutledge, colored, for stealing a watch: He was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in the Penitentiary. Isaac Hunter, colored, was tried for forging an order and thus obtaining goods under false pretences, and was sentenced also to 10 years in the Penitentiary. The case of A W Morgan, from Pineville Township, for assault upon his step-daughter, a girl about 15 years of age, with in tent to commit rape, came up for trial. We referred to this case in Tuesday's paper, and will not now stop to particularize. The girl is a pretty, modest-looking child, and her statement which was very brief, had a marked effect upon the Court and all present- The case was very clear. The man bad no counsel, but made a statement for himself, admitting that he laid bands on the girl but denying that his intentions were evil. He stated to the Conrt that he had a large family dependent upon his exertions, and prayed for leniency. His Honor sen tenced him to 15 years in the Penitentiary, and in doing so expressed regret that it was not in his power to give him a longer terra. The Grand Jury made its report and was discharged between the dismissal of the civil docket and the taking u- of the criminal, (These proceedings noted elsewhere ) Court re assembled this morning at 9 o clock, when the civil docket will be re sumed. Note A few days ago, in recording the sentence of Sue Wriston, colored, for being nuisance, we said she had been given 10 years imprisonment. We shoald have said 5 years. Reporter There was no Mayor's Conrt, and the Magistrates had nothing to report. Report of the Grand Jury. Yesterday about 1 o'clock, after the civil issue docket had been dismissed for the day, the Grand Jury being present in the Court room tbe foreman arose and stated that the body had completed its work, and asked to be discharged. Judge Schenck accordingly discharged them, and in doing so took oc casion to compliment them in the highest terms for the manner in which they had discharged their duties, addressing them in the following language: Mr. Foreman and Gentktnen of the Crand fury : 1 teel that it is a public duty as well as a personal pleasure, to thank jou, in behalf of all law abiding citizens, for the efficient and manly manner in which you have dis charged your whole duty. If all Grand Juries would fulfill their ob igations as yon have done, we would cease to bear that crime and immorality and out rage were gaining strength and becoming bolder in your community ; and the vicious, the lewd and the lawless would soon flee to other places to practice their depredations, or they would cease to do evil. Tbe increase of crime in this community this great commercial and railroad centre is alarming; and the too frequent exercise of the pardoning power by the Executive of the State, by which men are "encouraged to do evil," is a subject which requires the se rious consideration of every reflecting man. In vain may Grand Juries discharge tbeir duty in presenting offenders, in vain may Solicitors prosecute them and the Court pro nounce the heavy penalties of the law upon them, if impunity is vouchsafed to them through Executive clemency. But the Ex ecutive is not altogether to blame: in some cases he is misled by petitions. Good citi zens should carefully read and consider these petitions for tbe pardon of felons, be- fore they sign their names to them. It is talse sympathy, which brings danger to hundreds, in order to relieve the distress of one. It is a dangerous practice to carlessly give the use of one's influence to excuse crime because it is unpleasant to refuse. It is not manly to sign a petition merely because some one of influence has signed it. There are cases, no doubt, in which Ex ecutive clemency should be exercised, but they are rare, and the circumstances should fully justify it and the facts be fully dis closed. If, gentlemen, this community wtll sus tain the noble and faithful efforts which you have made during this term . to sup press crime, I hope soon to know that the law is considered a terror to eyil doers, "and a praise to them that do well." You can be discharged, gentlemen, with the full assurance that you have done your whole duty. ' ' Before being discharged, the Grand Jury handed in the following report ;,. . GRAND JURY ROOM, I Dec. 2nd, 1875. J Hon D Schenck, Judge, of Superior Covrt of Mecklenburg County y - The Grand Jury of Mecklenburg county. being charged by law with the duty or re- Eorting upon the condition or the public uildings of the county, feel it their duty to make a special and detailed report upon the condition of the Court House. The extent of the danger to the public health; and the amount of personal "? discomfort which the present condition of thhi building entails upon the community, is only appreciated by those who are called upon, in the discharge of public duties, to encounter them. .For the snace of eight weeks in every year this building is occupied by a large class of our citizens in the discharge of public or private business, as inrors. grand jurors, witnesses. I attorneys and public officers. , The rapid de velopment 01 tne county; nas vasuy increas ed the amount ot business to, be transacted during the terms of the Superior Court, in- I m . . . . . . , -i. m oeea nas increased it oeyona me capacity m the Court to transact it.and in consequence, at every session of the Com t, the Court Room is crowded to overflowing with. mineled mass of . white men and negroes. In mid-summer ; the ' windows, ; many . of tnemv unprotected with blinds; ' admit the sun to Dour in upon the crowded mass un til the room becomes filled i with noisome odors and poisonous exhalations. In winter it is almost if not quite as bad; for, owing to the antiquated style of the building, there is no mode of heating the Court Room ex cept by means of stoves, and consequently no mode at all by which the heat can be regulated. At one . time the stoves are over heated, and the air closely confined become hot almost to stifling, and when they are suffered to become cold, to avoid this diffi culty, the air becomes so cool that the occu pants are unable to transact business either with comfort or safety. But this condition of things results not only in discomfort and danger to bur citizens, but also very serious ly obstructs tne business of the Court, for It Ib an absolute impossibility to conduct busi- nsss in such a crowded room without great confusion.- Witnesses, juries and the officers or the court are compelled to press their way-through the crowd at every movement, to tne great nmaerance and delay or busi ness, nor is it possible for the most diligent, firm and efficient officer to prevent more or less noise and . confusion in such a dense mass, and consequently it not nnfrequentlv happens that His Honor is compelled to suspend business, to ferret out a disturber in tne midst or the crowd. But it is not in the Conrt Room alone that we find this building deficient and unfitted foritSDur- pose. We find that there is not a room in it of sufficient size to accommodate the Grand Jury wi h any decree of comfort. During the session of the present Grand Jnrv. it I has occupied a room fourteen feet square, I tuu uuuuieu lugemer in mis connnea space I over a stoye, they have been called npon to I transact one 01 we most important Draacaes of the public service. They consider that they have been required not only to sacrifice their time, in a great measure, in the public behalf, but they have been unreasonably required to sacrifice tbeir personal comfort. and to endanger their health ; and this may be-said not only of the Grand Jury, but of all whose attendance on the Court is enforc ed by law. It is manifest, too, that in the offices connected with the public business, in tbe offices of tbe Clerk and Register of Deeds, want of rom creates great and un avoidable confusion. By reason of recent changes in the law, the Clerk of the Superior Court has become an important judicial officer. He is compelled, oftentimes, to try important cases with manv witnesses and suitors, and to accommodate them be has a room fourteen feet square in the Registet's office there is not space enough for the public records, and in consequence, some of the most valuable of the record books are piled upon a counter, and every searcher must tumble them about to obtain access 10 the one for which he searches: that tbe important officer, the bounty Treas urer, baa no office only a small room, un furnished with vaults or safes for tbe pro tection of valuable papers, and both these papers and tbe records in tbe - Register's of fice are entirely at tbe risk of fire. In view of all this we deem it our duty to present the Court House as a rutsance, for the reason that it endangers the public health, sacrifices the comforts ot the citizens, obstructs tbe course of public justice, is badly located. and is generally unfit for the purpose for which it was erected, and tbe Grand Jury most earnest y recommend that the Cbunty Commissioners take immediate steps to erect a suitable building elsewhere, and they are persuaded that he sale of the Court House, if sold, would go far towards defray ing the expenses of erecting another. The Grand J ury on reporting npon the condition of the jail, would con tl mentthe County Commissioners upon electing a jail that is a credit to the county, it is well built and its arrangements are excellent. Tbe only objection found to it by the Grand Jury, is that the doois of the cells have to be opened to reed tne prisoners. They deem this improper and would recommend to the County Commissioners, that they have the doors so arranged that the rood can be plac ed in the cells without the necessity of open. ing tbe doors. They nnd the jail well and neatly kept and tbe quality or food furnish ed the prisoners to be good. H. IS. ALUXANJJ1CK, Foreman of Grand Jury. Hon. D, Schenck, Judge Superior Court of Mecklenburg Uounty: The urana J ury would respecuuiiy re quest your Honor to instruct the Sheriff not to summon persons generally known "hangers on" around the Court House, on the juries.
