Ii is to be hoped that, with the end of the rainy spell, we will have also an end of the warm spell. The weather is verv unseasonable, and everybody feels the effect j of it Change of Schedule. Another change Of schedule, and one more satisfactory to the general public, goes into effect en the Charlotte and Statesville Rail road on Friday next.

Owing to the inclemency of the weather, omnibuses will call for ladies at their residences, to convey them to the hotel. The Reason Why. Col. John B Palmer, President of the Charlotte, Columbia Sc Augusta Railroad, in forms the Augusta Conttitxitlonalist that it was not his desire to take off the day train on his road, but that he was compelled to dp so on account of the discontinuance of the day train on the Richmond and Danville Rail road ; that his road was never doing a better business than now, and that the day train would be resumed as soon as he could get a train on the other end to connect with.

Tbe advance agent of the great comedian has visited Charlotte and billed it; the ad vertisement appears under the proper head of KAmusementsv" in our advertising col umns this morning. Raymond, as "Col Mu berry Sellers," will be here on Monday evening next. We need hardly say more. He is one of the greatest of all living come dians, and his fame is as wide as this con tinent. He has t immortalized both himself and Col 8ellers. He is to Sellers what Joe Jefferson is toj&ip Van Winkle. It is his specialty and has already made his fortune. He has packed houses night after night in New York and other of the great tities, and his reputation is growing with each day. No one who can find room in the Opera House, should fail to be there On Monday night. A gentleman living here, who saw the great actor not long ago, remarked the other day that "if he had money enough he would buy Charlotte a ticket when Raymond catae. Innocents' Day. -: This festival occurred day before yester day. It is variously styled Innocents' Day, the Holy Innocents' Day and Childermas Pay or Childermess, and has been observed from an early period in the history of the church as a commemoration of the barbarous massa cre of children in Bethehem, ordered by King Herod, with the view of destroying among them the infant Saviour, as recorded in the Gospel of St. Matthew. It is one of those anniversaries which were retained in tne litual of the ngusn Church at tbe re formation. In consequence, probably, of the feeling of horror attached to such an act of atrocity, Innocents' Day used to be reck oned the most unlucky throughout the year, and in former times no one who could possibly ayoid it began any work or entered on any undertaking on this anniversary. To marry on Childermas Day was especially in auspicious. U- ; y '- "V. The Holidays. -i After a suspension of three issues, we re sume our publication this, morning, feeling more vigorous than ever, and better prepar ed by recreation for the' resumption' of our labors. During the tinie ot our suspension, a very exciting tad unfortunate event has occurred Jn the city," and is 'detailed else where. ''Aside from this, there has . been no unusual event in the. 'city. The Christmas season lias . -beenV. an , unnsually dull one. 8ince Friday night last; when a portion of tbe young people engaged, in a masquerade hall, there ha bees no 1 kind of general amusement," and even- the . fire-worka being lacking7thereL;was nothlngaavethe large n amber of people oh the'; streets and the closed: business places, to indicate that the Christmas season was on hand. It will be raarksd44Whirtcy-Cfettlotte-foryoar- to come, as a day of rioVdrnnkenness and bloodshed, hot aside from this one event, as on of the dullest and, least, joyous Christ- T ; , - - . mas Days, that the place ever knew: ?Teathr BLOODY RIOT ON CHRISTMAS ! One Negro Killed and Six Wounded. or Eight 8erertl Whites also Slightly Wound ed. Whiskey the Canse I The Christmas of 1875 will long bs remem- oered in Charlotte as an occasion of riot and bloodshed. Many remarked in the mornini? that the day was an unusually quiet and dull one. Most of the stores were closed and there was a total absence of the accus tomed display of fire works and other amusements, characteristic of the annual festivities. The mob of both races paraded the streets early, visiting the bar-rooms and shouting in their drunken orgies ; yet all seemed peaceably disposed until noon, when several fights of ifeinor imoortance took place. No bad bloodras, however exhibited until a countryman, by the name of Thos Wilson, got into a light with several negroes. That was the commencement of the trouble, There are many conflicting reports as to the one who originated it ; but the supposition is that Wilson whi!e;riding a mule, was fol lowed and ridiculed by the negroes, and when he attempted to use a stick upon his tormentors, he was pulled off and roughly handled. The whites seeing him thus im posed upon, came to his assistance. Then commenced an indiscriminate throwing of brick-bats and firing of pisto's A panic arose and the innocent as well as the guilty were set upon. The colored troops as well as the whites, as a general thing, fought nobly. In all it is estimated that there were about fifty shots fired. Many discharged their pistols into the ground and air in hope of quieting the riot, but with no effect. Mr C H Elms, in passing along the street at the time, was attacked by a number of negroes, the first of whom was Shepherd Johnson, who was afterward? killed. Mr Elms was uninjured. A Kentucky horse drover, by the name of John Farris, was riding along the street, when the negroes fired upon him wounding his horse in several places. He is described as having acted with great fortitude and coolness. He drew out a large six-shooter and, reining in his excited horse, took de liberate aim at his assailants and fired until the last barrel was emptied. A negro caught bim by the leg, but received a powerful blow from the pistol across the bead, which felled him to the earth, and the Kentuckian in the same cool manner left the field of battle. It was difficult to tell which was the more dangerous, to fight or to flee. Flight seem ed to be a conclusive evidence of guilt, and several found that their legs were unable to fly faster than the stones and o'her missiles sent to overtake them. A peaceably disposed negr named Ike McDowell, received a right lively cast igation for his desertion of the fracas of which he was an unwitting witness. The negro Shepherd Johnson, fought stubbornly, and cursed the whites until a bullet pierced his heart and he fell dead in his tracks. Three or four whites received slight contusions, and seven or eight negroes were wounded, none we believe mortally. Many whites and blacks bo h, when the pickets commenced to pepper, hid them selves in the most convenient corner. One negro lay close to the wall of a building and shut himself up in a manner like a pock et knife while both races took refuge be hind a safe in the streets, that was being moved into the uew building of the Traders' National Bank. Many now believe, who never thought so before, that the tafe was not only fireproof, but a life savings institution as well. There was nothing of a political na ture about tbe trouble, it took its origin from drunkenness, and much regret is felt by all good people at the serious and unfortunate affair. Some drunken negroes are still mak ing threats of vengeance, but we think that the ruling spirit among them will frown and discourage anything so unwise and sui cidal on the part of the blacks. The city authorities, being apprehensive of trouble, put a heavy special police force on duty on Saturday night, but there were no further disturbances of any kind. On Sunday morning. Coroner Alexander summoned a jury of inquest, consisting of B J Shannonhouse, I 8impson, W F Cuth bertson, C M Query, J K Purefoy, W H Lindsay, W H Fariior, R E McDonald, J Hollis. J P Shelton, J A Young, Jr., and J W Wadsworth, and proceeded with it to Market Hall, where the remains of Shep herd Johnson had been placed, and there held an inquest. A number of witnesses were examined, and the investigation was continued over to Monday, when further testimony was taken. About 20 witnesses were examined, and all the evidence being in, the jury returned that, "being charged and sworn to inquire how and in what man ner the said Shepherd Johnson by his death came, upon their oaths do day that on tbe 25th day of December, by a pistol shot in the right breast, by the hand of some person to us unknown, in a general riot." Though the result of the investigation was not such as to fix the fatal shooting upon any one in particular, enough was adduced to warrant the arrest of the following per sons ; Green Mculay, Robt J Smith and Thos Wilson, white ; and Richard Johnson and Jim McMatthews, colored. Smith and Johnston were committed to jail on yester day: tbe others gave bond for their appear ance. Smith is a fellow who made his first appearance in the city on Friday, and the impression prevails very generally that he Is responsible in a large degree for the riot. He it was who, ia tbe commencement of the trouble between Wilson and the negroes, telling them that he was a. Northern man that he had fought for them once and would do so again ; that he . believed in fair play and would stand by them. A ; ;,- . - It is strange that, among so many shots, ao few took ' effect. , This shows that the whites were either yery much excited or else that they did not shoot to kill; tbe latter ex planation is the more probable. - " Some of the balls lodged in the third story of the Central Hotel, and some passed through the windows of the third story of Brera, Brown & Co's hardware store. " This riot lias been very much exaggerated in places distant fr m Charlotte, and hence it is all the more important that an accurate account be Riven of its origin and extent. This, we think, is done above. . . . . A Robber Captured. The Atlanta papers of Tuesday, chronicle the capture in that city on the day previous, of a young man, A M Alderman, who had for some time past been running as an agent of Wooten's Express, between tis city and Wilmington. When he arrived in Atlanta, he was observed to have a large amount of money, in the use of which he was very lavish, and a detective soon settled down upon him as a robber. He arrived in At lanta on Sunday morning, and was closely watched from that time until the next day when he was observed driving in a carriage to car shed, just before the time for the train on the Georgia State Road to leave. He was accompanied by a woman who had accompanied promised to go West wllrrhim; to Arizona or Utah, and when the carriage stopped, the young man went into a restaurant near by to get some baggage which he had left there. It was at th s time that the police swooped down on him and claimed him as their prisoner. He first attempted to draw a pis tol, and being disarmed, then offered the officer a bribe to release him. lie was car ried to the guard house, and there gave his came first as Jno W Benbo, ot Boston, then as James Green, of Chicago, and finally as A M Alderman, of Wilmington, N. C. Up on his person was found $1,190 75, which was taken charge of and put in a safe. He was detained until a telegram was re ceived from Mr Love, Superintendent of Wooten's Express, asking that he be held, and stating that the money which he had was a stolen package of $1500, for Rocking ham, N, C. Alderman has a brother who is a conduc tor on the Carolina Central Railroad, and as soon as he heard of this affair, he left for Atlanta to investigate it. It is probable that he and his brother will both arrive in Charlotte this morning, the 'alter in charge of an officer, and that he will be carried on to Wilmington. Mr J M Leak, the agent in this city of Wooten's Express, informs us that Alder man left the express office on Saturday morning last with his freight, and started to the depot ; that he (Mr L.) thought he had gone out on the train, until some time up in the day when he heard that Alderman was in the city. He searched for him then, but failed to find him. He left here on the Air-Line tiaia that night. The young man's connections are highly respectable, and on their account the affair is to be deplored. . Katie Putnam. ilie (jnarlotte lavonte appears at our Opera House to-morrow evening, for an en gagement of two evenings and a matinee. The popular rejoicing at her re-appearance here, is very great, aBd there is now every indication that the Opera House will be jammed. To-morrow evening she gives us The Old turioBity Shop," which is the equal of any of Dickens' other creations; and bow well Miss Putnam will take tbe parts of Little Neil and the Marchioness, need not be told those who saw her when she was here last. We believe it is conceded that in these characters she has no equal on the American stage. We are informed by Mr Calhoun, that she has a ttrong company this season, and that Mr Sullivan, the lead ing heavy man, makes a very excellent Swiveler. If her company is even passable we will have a delightful entertainment, for Katie herself will cover a multitude of short comings. We would be glad to have Miss Putnam receive the same ovation with which she met here last season, and we have no doubt that she will. commuhicated". A CARD.
