Christmas' Tide.
Christmak-tide, properly speaking, extends
from the evening before Chiistmas day to
the first of February the eve of the feast of
the Purrilc&tion, or Candlemas day, when
the Christmas decorations are removed from
the churches. The great holiday season,
however.may be said to end on Twelth-day,
the feast of the Epiphany, that is to-day,
January 6th. In Eagland, Twelfth-night is
second only to Christmas eve as a popular
holiday.- On that day these vereigu, in com
memoration of the adoration of the Magi
makes an offering of gold, frankincense and
myrrh at the altar of the Chapel Royal, and
at home the Twelfth-cake is eaten and the
Twelfth-night games are played.
The Commercial Dhilug Rooms.

the handsomest places of the kind to be
found any where, and is being kept in just

the establishment is stylish and tasty, and
we have every reason to believe will
be so kept Mr. Teasdale and Mr
Badger are determined to make k all
that it. should be, and we doubt not
they will succeed. They already have about
30 regular boarders, and their transient cus
tom is very gratifying. The bar is hand
somely fixed up and is stocked with the
best ia the liquid line, and the billiard ta
bles are drawing large crowds to the place.

A Bad Arrangement.
When the North Carolina train arrives at
the Air-Line Junction, near this city, at
night, all the express for the Charlotte, Co
lumbia A Augusta Railroad: is taken from
the express car and put into a freight car,
which is shifted upon a side track, while the
express car is given to the Air-Line train
The North. Carolina train then shifts this
freight car into ita train and comes up to the
city, by which time the Charlotte, Columbia
A Augusta train is very frequent1 y gone,
baying waited already beyond its schedule,
Besides the danger to which through pas
eengers are subjected of missing the coanec-
tion. tbe delay is a great annoyance, and
something should be done to remedy it. ,

Rockiag a Train. :
We are informed by a ' passenger on the
accommodation train on the Charlotte , Col-
urn ma x Augusta Kauroaa, that as the train
reached Sugar.Creek brik3ge, on itsway.np,
last evening, a rock came crashing through
one ef the windows of acoach. Fortu
nately, nb one was in range, and th only
damage done was the bieaking of the glass
in the window. - '
Incidents of this kind are becoming more
numerous ; nobody is ever punished for it
and the increase of this, the meanest species
of vandalism, is the consequence. A man
who th us recklessly endangers life, should
be tang as high as Hamaa, and a conductor
who would shoot such a scoundrel down in
his tracks, would be held blameless. "
Charlotte Institute far Young Ladles.
We experience a sense of profound grati
fication in knowing of the success of the
institution named above. The new year
term, opened on Monday last with twelve
accessions. The roll of the school now
shwws 90 pupils, 17 of whom are boarders,
and in less than a month the number will
most probably reach 100, as several are
promised. We feel more than an ordinary
interest in the welfare of this enterprise,
and take pleasure in proclaiming its merits,
knowing full well that when these are ap
preciated, its permanent establishment is
secured. There was never a more: accom
plished, christian gentleman than is its
head, Bev S Taylor Martin, and the' faculty
is in all respects competent to instruct the
young ladies of the country. While the
course of instruction as to the books, is
thorough, the tone of the institution in all
other respects is such as to commend it, in
the warmest manner, to parents and guar
dians who have daughters and wards to edu
cate.
The Carolina Military Institute.
The following very handsome and deserv
ed compliment to this institute and its
Superintendent, is clipped from tbe editorial
columns of the Augusta Constitutionalist of
Tuesday : "Col J P Thomas, Superinten
dent of the Carolina Military Institute, of
Charlotte, N. C, honored us with a visit on
yesterday. This gentleman, yet a young
man, is one of the most distinguished citi
zens of the .Palmetto State. He has been
eminent in letters, arts and sciences, and
possesses the rare intellectual combination
of a iove for the beautiful and the; practical.
He is likewise a gentleman of the highest
moral toue, and, though not now in politi
cal life, takes a keen interest in whatever
concerns the true civilization of the South.
His Institute has proven a great and deserv
ed success. This was to be expected from a
scholar and philosopher whose claims for
high consideration are based upon common
sense and inflexible principle To bis guar
dianship parents may safely intrust their
sons, and we rejoice that his career is on
ward, as it has been upward.'1
Reply of the County Commissioners to
the Presentment of the Grand Jury.
In yesterday's paper we referred to the
fact that the Board of County Commission
ers had filed a long reply to the presentment
of the last Grand Jury, which pronounced
tbe Court House a nuisance. The reply was
written by Commissioner Gloyas, end would
fill a column and a half of this paper. ; It
sets forth that, emanating as the present
ment does, from gentlemen charged with
such important trusts as is a, Grand Jury, it
is worthy of careful attention ; but while
commending their interest 'and their zeal
in the general good, it expresses the opinion
that their judgment is at fault regarding the
necessity for a new Court House. The reply
says : "That the Court House needs some
remodeling in part and some repairs, is evi
dent V but owing to the present and pros
pective onerous tax, the Board , have kept
constantly in view the most , rigid 'eoonomy;
with regird to county finances, and .hare
contracted for no work only such as teemed
of imperative necessity. - The present court
room we think ample to accommodate all
persons who have business in 6urt '
and has sufficient ventilation."
The Commissioners acknowledge that the
office of the Clerk of the Superior Court Is
too small for me purposes oi inoiucer,uu
Buggest no plan by which ' it could be im
proved except .b) building a newConrt
House, and in thia Connection again express
their disapprobation of this idea, -upon the
score of eoonomr. A great deal Is said of the
oppressive taxation whichr:weighs"upon the
people, and they say Thatthey are nnwilUDg
to levy a Ux for the purpose indicated with-
hnt brat : submfttine the oueslion to the
qtfalifledibters of theotfllhry. This lai?

The cnlMia exnrea that a new Court
fiouselwoald cost i $30 090 to addition to
f what might ba realfted from ths sale of the
pnrsent property, ishd it ia thought tbat the
people will hot wiHinglybeai ' Jlhis burden

' Under an order olthetloarc? of County
Commissioners, made slits session on Mon
day, Capt J. R Erwin, Clerk of tbe Superior
Court, in conjunction with y the. building
committee, on yesteroUiy took step looking
to the improvement; of the Interior arrange
ment of the court room.. A plan has .been
drawn up for the contemplated improve
ment, and the change proposed to' be made
iif the bar is abbut'as "follows r" Have, tto
Clerk's desk further back than the : end of
the jury box, ao that a person having busi
ness with this officer, can walk around the
aisle-way in rear of the Jury, box to him,
instead .of going through, the bar or leaning
over the railing close by the Judge's seat, as
under the present arrangement ; next, to
close up the front entrance to the bar, and
have two entrances on either side, at 'the
end of the jury boxes and immediatery ta
front of the prisoners' dock and the box oh
the other aide which corresponds ' with? it.
Tbe advisability of these changes will -be
seenatonee. n . . .,:
, I t proposed also, io make the seats of the
spectators, each three feetjonger. Lengthen
ing the seats three feet on each aide of the
aisle, will leave six feet less . space in the
aisle. Further than this, it is proposed to
put new pulleys in the windows, and also to
put new Inside blinds to them. Also, to
put a new floor in the room, and to have it
nicely carpeted.
These changes wil improve the room very
much, and since the county cannot have a
new Cou t House, tbe contemplated arrange
ment is about the best that could be made.
Several contractors examined the plan yes
terday, and bids will be put in as soon as
the estimate s can be made. We trust that
the contract will Speedily be let out to some
trustworthy person, x who will begin, and
finish, the work with haste. The court room
as it stands, is a reproach to the county.
Important to Debtors to Bankrupt Ea-.
tates.
Hon RobtP Dick, Judge of the United
8tate3 District Court, has, we are informed,
in pursuance of power ia him vested by the
General Rules and Orders in Bankruptcy.
Rule XXXII. made the following rule for
the guidance of assignees in bankruptcy.
Rtut. Assignees in bankruptcy, when
ever they have claims ta collect belonging to
tbe estate of the bankrupt, above the amount
of $200. and shall deem it advisable to bring
suit in tbe United States Court f st the col
lection of the same, shall, before commenc
ing suit, apply to the Court for a special or
der regulating the return of process and for
appearance and pleading in tbe same. Reg
isters in bankruptcy will notify assignees in
bankruptcy of this rule-"
Under tlff&Sole, assignees may sue per
sons indebted to bankrupt estates, and have
a special order by which the complaint may
be served with the summons, and an answer
required thereto within twenty or thirty
days. Wnere issue is joined, the case will
be Bet for trial at the next ensuing term of
tbe Court. Where no answer ox ; other plead
ing is filed, the Clerk will be ordered to en
ter up judgment by default, and place an
execution in tbe hands of the marshal. This
will greatly expedite the settlement of bank
rupt estates, . .. '. -
Some recent decisions made by Judge Dick
are of especial interest to persons indebted
to the Bank o '.Mecklenburg and among them
are:
First, That certified checks are provable
against the Bank.
Second, , That no certificate of deposit.
certified check, or other evidence of debt
purchased after the failing of the petition in
bankruptcy, against the Bank of Mecklen
burg,' to wit ; The 18th day ef September,
1875 nor any such evidence of debt purchas
ed after the act of bankruptcy, to wit: on
tbe 7th day of August, 1875, with a view of
making a set off, will be allowed as a set-off
in bankruptcy.
