This was the last race cf the day and sea
son. Going1 fur a Magistrate.
On Mondaywhen Constable King, of this
cityjVent to Pineville, to summon Mr. J.
R. Kirkpatrick to this city, for the trial of a
case which had just been dismissed by Jus
tice Wallis, at that place, Mr. Wallis, ac
cording to the constable's allegation, was
very wroth, and pronounced agtanst him in
terms quite the opposite of complimentary.
Among other things, j he threatened to
institute action against both the Constable
and the Magistrate (McNinch) who had
issued the process, and Mr. King states that
he feared to open his mouth lest he should
be ordered under arrest, notwithstanding
the fact that Mr. Wallis' court was not in
session.
In consequence of the treatment which
he received on that occasion, the officer has
sued out a warrant against the Pineville
Magistrate, charging him with interfering
with him in the discharge of his official
duties, and proposes to have bim before one
of the Justices of the Peace in this city on
Saturday next, for trial. The case is an
unusual one, and will excite interest.

Charlotte are indebted for the opportunity
of witnessing the finest actor known to the
American stage, and for another who, in his
specialty stands without a rival ; we mean

Cigar Store Beading Room.
Capt J 8 Shafer, who has for sometime
past been conducting a cigar store next door
to the sewing machine rooms of' Col D 6
Maxwell, on Try on street, has fallen upon a
good idea. He will shortly change the whole
interior of bis store, re-stock it with cigars,
tobacco, pipes. fec, and in. addition to this,
establish a reading room in the store. Here
he will keep files of Raleigh, Wilmington,
Charleston, Atlanta New York, Charlotte,
and Other papers. The papers will be free,
and strangers and others who desire to see
some particular paper, and cannot find it
in .the bands of the newsboys or at the book
stores, can go to this reading room and ex
amine it. . The idea is a good one and the
place will be one of great convenience.

The following prominent gentlemen were
registered at the Central Hotel yesterday
and last evening : Lieut. Gov. Armfield, of
Statesville; A. M. Speight?, Esq,, editor of
the Greenville (S. C.) Daily News, Col J. - M.
McCorkle, of Salisbury, Col. S. McD. Tate,
Saperintendent of the Western North Car
olina Railroad, and Col. W. S. Pearson,
Master of Transportation of the same.
Engine Parsed Through.
A narrow gauge engine pas3ed throngh
this city, on yesterday, via the Charlotte,
Colombia & Augusta and Air-Line Rail
roads, from Che3ter to Gastonia, to be used
in the construction of that part of the Ches
ter & Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad, now
being built in Gat ton county, across the
river from that part already completed. The
engine was looked at very curiously by
those who had never seen one like it before.
It is an odd-looking little thing. Its driver
is not much larger than the wheel of a baby
carriage, and altogether its appearance is so
much that of a toy, that one is constained
to laugh at first sight of it. The seats of
the cars, as may not be generally known,
are arranged just as the seats in an omni
bus, and passengers are always careful that
the car is well-balanced ; all the fat people
are not permitted to sit on one side, and all
the lean ones on the other ; but the fat kine
and the kind lean are mixed together.and half
fat and half lean are made to sit on one Bide,
and the other half in tbe same way, on the
other. These trains, however, notwithstand
ind their size or, rather, lack of size make
good time, say 12 or 15 miles an hour.
But here we've gone, when we only start
ed out to tell of an engine passing through,
and haye written a great rigamarole ; and,
we fear seriously, have lied a good deal to
boot, particularly in that part where the
mixing up of ihe fat and poor folks is talked
about. i
Mr Booth at the Charlotte Opera House.
When we come to consider the light in
which Mr Edwin Booth is regarded by the
people all oyer this , vast country ; that he
Btands pre-eminently at the head of the
Shakespearian drama ; that his mighty
genius has carried whole cities by storm,
and that his praises baye been sounded by
press and people for years, it is no wonder
that, when a visit from him was vouchsafed,
the people here, the Opera House was pack
ed and that standing room was barely ob
tainable. Such was the case last night; and
it is worthy to be remarked that the audience
was never equalled here on a similar occa
sion, for brilliancy and intelligence, and
never, in the State, in point of numbers. .
It bad been predicted by some that many
would go away disappointed ; we are proud
to say that this was not the case; the people
who would have been disappointed, stayed
away ; and it is better on all accounts that
they did. As great as is Mr Booth's reputa
tion, and as much as was expected of him,
very few who attended the theatre last night
had any idea that they would witness such
a piece of acting as was presented. It was
not thought that the play afforded that
scope which was necessary to bring the
great actor fully out, yet who will say now
that Hamlet has not its strong points ?
Who did not,, at times, . forget time and
place, and live and nioye in the presence of
the very Dane himself? In contemplation
of the part, one naturally exclaims : '"How
perfect 1 How real ! How entirely grand
and artistic !" Truly, in looking upon Mr
Booth, one. can join with spirit in Hamlet's
soliloqup : "What a glorious piece of work
is man. In form and
moving how express and admirable 1" He
looks a very prince ; his carriage, expression,
his every gesture, is that of the melancholy
Prince or' Denmark.' So entirely perfect
and complete was the work in every detail,
that it is impossible to point out any partic
ular scene which was acted more' artistically
than any, othern , True, hi this, as, in every
oth er . drama, some of the situations are
more striking than tiers; but In none Was
the rendition in anywise; short of absolute
perfection.; .In.part andm;whole,tbere was
thai charming completeness, which inspired
the auditor ' with Urt; belief that fpotbini

A Credit Mark In Heaven. . , , .
Tenons who-came up on the Central Ho
tel side of Tryon street from the Opera
House last night; raw a well-dressed' white
man lying drunk on the 'steps of a'.barber
shop, with the full glare of the gas light
upon his face. This was concealed, how
ever, for some good person seeing the man's
condition, had spread a handkerchief over
his face, and no one could recognize him
without raising this. We haye no idea who
did this, but it is very certain that for . the
little deed, the Recording Angel scored one
on the credit side of his account.! How
much better and happier would the world
be, were we all to follow the example of this
man, and cast a mantle oyer the foibles of
our brethren !
Capture ot the Leader of the Highway
Robbers. . :T
Some days ago, Justice McNinch received
a letter from a gentleman living at Cool
Springs, Iredell county, informing him that
Neal Knox, the ring-leader . of the .band of
robbers who haye recently been conducting
a system of organized robbery on the high
ways near this city, was then at his (Knox's)
father's house near Cool Spring, and advis
ing that an officer be sent after bim. In ac
cordance with this information, the Justice
issued a warrant and placed it in the hands
of Mr H D Ltak, whom he deputized to
serve it, and the officer started at once npon
his mission. Arriving at Statesville, he se
cured the services of Deputy Sheriff Alex
ander, who went with him on Monday, to
Cool Springs, about 12 miles below States
ville. At midnight; they approached the
house where they bad learned the negro was
staying, and knocked at the door. It would
seem that Knox had some intimation that
tbe officers were upon his path, for as soon
as the knock was given, he emerged from
the house and endeavored to make his es
cape. Mr.L presented a pistol and told him
to halt, which he did. He was then bound
and taken to Statesville, put on the train,
and brought to this city, ' arriving here yes
day morning at 10 o'clock. He will be
brought out before Justice McNinch, to-day,
for preliminary examination.
We are glad that this arrest has been ef
fected. All the officers of Ihe clan are now
in limbo, and the back of the organization
is broken. The community .' is to be con
gratulated upon this consummation, which
has been so devoutly wished for.

Postal Matters. :
A very large amount of matter that passes
through the mails from this place finds its
way back to the senders; thereof, by reason
of unpaid or insufficient postage, or other
irregularity in it. .The principal portion of
this is in the shape of. pamphlets, newspa
pers, etc..; the letters being sent direct to the
dead letter office at Washington. Some per
sons have the impression that they may add
a word or two on the wrapper of a newspa
per and still send it as second class, mail
matter.. These persons add ihe name of the
sender to the address, thus: "John Smith;
compliments of Tom Brown ;" and this ad
dition makes the newspaper or other article
come undei the, head of first-class matter,
upon which the postage is six cents: per
