We are pained to learn that Hon Burton
Craige, of Salisbury, died on yesterday morn

where he has been lying sick for two or
three weeks past. In the death of this dis
tinguished gentleman, not only his own
town and county, but the entire State, sus
tains a great loss.. , Though. long in active
public life, and at times when party feeling
ran high, h goes down tc the grave with a
spotless name, and possessing the respect of
men of all shades of opinion. His talents
commanded the respect of all, and his ster

every one who has any appreciation of true
manhood. An outline of Mr Ciaige's life
and public services, will be fonnd in our
editorial column. .

Railroad Mishaps.
The freight train on the Charlotte, Col
umbia & Augusta Railroad, ran off the track
yesterday morning, between Fort Mill and
Bock Hill. The accident was caused by 'the
springing of the track, which was occasion
ed by the wet weather, and six cars were
ditched and broken, more or less. The
track was cleared in time for the mail train
to leave this city last night on schedule
time. '
The freight train on the North Carolina
Railroad, due here at 5.30 yesterday morn
ing, ran off the track near Thomasyille, and
was delayed there nearly all day. No par
ticular damage was. done, but great incon
venience was occasioned by the delay.
The heavy rains caused the washing away
of a trestle near Easley's, on the Air-Line
Railroad, on Wednesday, and the mail train
coming North yesterday morning, was four
or five houis behind time, thus missing its
connection with the North Carolina train.
Comment on the Charlotte Blot.
The Raleigh News offers the following
sensible comments upon the riot which
took place in this city on Christmas Day :
"For the first time the blood of the negro
has been shed in North Carolina on compar
atively a large scale in one of those aggres
sive movements the negroes have been so
fond of provoking. Insolent in their fancied
superiority in numbers, confident in the
ever ready possession of arms, reliant upon
tbe support of the party at Washington, a
negro mob is always easily collected, easily
excited, and demonstrative of the moat
bloody hostility. The whites have prudent
ly deported themselves, and while at Wil
mington, at Goldaboro, at Raleigh dreadful
collisions have been .imminent, because
pushed by the negro to the extreme limits
of forbearance, fortunately, ad far there has
been that self-control among the whites that
the storm has been hushed without bursting
in destructive fury. Charlotte affords the
first example in the 8tate where deadly
weapons have been used by the whites.
Used, too, with an effect which it is hoped
will impart a useful lesson. Nevertheless.
sueh is the temper of 1be RepBlliaitf tead-
ers, that even this measure of self-protec--l
tion, tbis unpremeditated application 01 tne
first law Of nature, will be used against tbe
South as another symptom of Southern
hostility to the negro."
The Old Year.
With to-day ends the old year; a year
fraught with so many joys and sorrows, so
many pleasures realized and horps frustrat
ed. It is a sad time, this dying of the old
year. It brings us face to face with the fact
that we are all one year nearer to the end of
our earthly journeys; and not only4 so, but
the reflective person, in looking tbk , over
the past twelve monts, is saddened to see
how many things have been done, that
ought not to have been done, and how many
thing that ought to have been done have
been lett undone. So many mis-steps have
been made, and so many foolish things have
been said and done, during this old year';
and now it is gone, and those deeds haye
gone with it, to make up the record witich
is kept in the Great Book. Too late now to
undo the past, and so nothing remains but
to leam of our experience, and to strive to
do better in the future.
So farewell '75. You are gone, but the
memory of the smiles and tears which you
brought (and they are many shall be long
kept in tbe tablets of our, memories. . We
shall all try to forget the miseries and heart
aches which you have 'caused us, and to re
member only the sunshine which you have
cast athwart our paths ; so
"ToIL toll the funeral bell,
Toll for the dying year ; :
He's gathering up bis limbs to die ;
i : t Shed o'er his grave a tear."

Mr J T Alderman, the conductor on the

lanta (to extrlcatV his brother,' ' A' M Al
derman, from trouble in which he was
Involved in -connection with : the ' theft
o& $1,600 from Wooten's Express,- ar
rived, in this city., yesterdays morning with
the culprit . ; Concerning the manner of his
release from custody, the Atlanta Constitu
tion, of.Wednesday says : "Yesterday Mr
AM Alderman, whose arrest we have al
ready noted, was turned over to his brother,
Mr I T Alderman,- who came here after him.
Tbe brother brought with him Written au
thority from Wooten's express company at
Wilmington, to settle the Case in their name
and the officers therefore; did not hesitate to
give up their, prisoner. With him they also
gave up nearly, $1,200 in .money which had
been taken from his' person when arrested.
Mr! Alderman's family and friends have an
nounced their intention to restore to the
express company the full amount of their
loss. - The expenses of the officers here were
paid. , Mr. Alderman's diamond pin, watch
and chain, pistol and . valise, were turned
oyer to his attorneys for fees."
Col Mulberry Sellers.
We feel especially interested in Mr Ray
mond having a fine house on Monday
night. It is very certain that the people of
Charlotte will not have the opportunity
this season of seeing a finer piece of acting
than he will give us. A writer in the Rich
mond Enquirer thus speaks of Mr Raymond's
first appearance aa Col -sellers, at the Park
Theatre in New York .
"The piece was aot a new one, it having
been produced before unsuccessfully, and
the theatre was a little house, opened the
year before and closed again after a
short and disastrous season. Mr Raymond
himself, was comparatively unknown to the
great floating theatre-going population of
New Yorx, though he bad a reputation as a
meritorious stock actor of low comedy. It
was whispered about among critics and ac
toia that the play had been revamped and
greatly improved, and Mr Raymond express
ed unbounded confidence in its success ;
critics shook their heads, however, saying
that Mark Twain was not a dramatist ; ergo,
the second trial of his drama would surely
be a failure. But the critics were mistaken,
"Prior to the first performance of the
piece, it was liberally advertised in : various
ways. In this way, public curiosity was
excited, and on the opening night the cozy
little house was well filled, with a refined
but critical audience. The next day, and
for days and weeks after, everybody was
taiung about "Uoionei sellers," and as a
consequence, everybody went to see him.
For oyer three months the house was crowd
ed nightly, and when the engagement was
finally closed, Raymond and "Col Sellers"
were never spoken of indxviduaMy, but as
one and inseparable. After a stumng toar
through tbe East and West, and a summer
vacation, Mr Raymond appeared again in
New York, in the same character, at the
Union Square Theatre. This was in Sep
tember last For several weeks he appeared
nightly and his success of the year before
was repeated." .
