The ches3 playing season has opened at the depots. The game raged badly at these places last summer. Orange boys have become yery numerous round about here.- -"Oranges to-day ? Six for a quarter," has come to be a yery famil iar sound. Mr R. M Pressou, the' elephant man who A".: has been doing Dusihess here for so long, has set up the elephant in our neighboring town of Monroe. Yesterday was partially clear. There was no rain, and the feeling in the atmosphere indicates that the weather is about to return to the landmarks of other days.. The railroad meeting on yesterday, brought quite a number of our Statesville friends down, and also a number of country people from along the line of the road. No telegraphic markets were received last night, in consequence of yesterday (Wash ington's birthday,) having been a holiday at the North. We suppose this was ' the why." Mr Wm Tiddy who has purchased the late stock of Tiddy fc Bro.. will not be a news dealer. He. has purchased the books and stationery of Mr J K Purefoy, who will con tinue the news business. The members of the German Singing So ciety will give a hop at their hall on Tuesday evening next, the 29th inst., complimentary to their Secretary, Mr John U Lamprecht, and his bride. We acknowledge with thanks an invitation to be present. Mr Koellsch has received the machinery for his book bindery, and will be prepared to go to work in a day or two. All those haying anything in the line of book bindery to do, ought to giye him a call and thus en courage home enterprise. A very bad sanitary condition obtains around the Market House. Old fish heads, decomposing remains of chickens, tc, lay around in orderiferous profusion, and alto gether a visit to that locality is not sugges tire of otlar of roses. It ought to be attend ed to. The work in the Court House has been completed, and the room nw presents a yery creditable appearance. It has been greatly improved, in every respect. The paint is not yet dry in the room, the paint ing having just been finished. The '"perlice" are having a rihteasy time of it just now : yery little to do. A fellow gets drunk, every now and then, but some how or other there don't seem to be as many fights to the barrel in whiskey now as there used to be, and there hasn't been a case of disorderly conduct in a good while One Patriot Only. xne banks were all doing business, yes terday, just as usual, and only one person in all the city-made any attempt at celebrat ing the birth day of the father of his coun try. He rushed through Tryon street early in the morning, exclaiming: 'Rah fer Wash'ton's birf-day, fjrf July ! Znt's whaz I say ! 'Ray fer Jorg !" Personal. E. B. Drake, Eeq , of the Statesville Amer ican, was in the city on yesterday, in atten dance upon the railroad meeting. Cpl. Thos. B. Long, the accommodating and efficient Special Agent of the Post Of fice Department for this division of the service, was in the city t)n yesterday. J. M. Gudger, Esq. , of Burnsville, Yancey county, the Solicitor of his district, arrived at the Central Hotel last night. Transferred to Statesville Jail. Andy Thornberg, the son of Jo, both crooked whiskey men, has been taken lrom jail here, where he has been in confinement for about a foonth, to the jail in Statesville, there to serve ou t a six months' term. He escaped from Statesyille jail several months ago, four days after he had been put in, and now says that he intends to serve out the re maining five months even if an opportunity is given him to escape.as he is tired of being hunted and bedeyiled. Five Points Improvelng. The Five Points are being broken up. One of the principal houses of the locality a large one where much of the gambling was done, and much of the villainy was con cocted is beine moved out, and "For Rent " is posted np on several doors. We do not know, yery well, whether the com munity is to be much better or not for this breaking up, after all; for the Pointers wili only change their bases, and are sure to cor rupt the morals of whatever other spot they settle im. The Insurance Building. The failure of the Southern Life Insurance Company, did net stop the progress of the building which it was erecting in this city. Mr Woodroffe, the contractor, has carried the work steadily ahead, and will have the building completed, he thinks, in three or four weekai j".n'd'a yfty Jlegant building it will be the handsomest in the city. There are three rooms on ,the ground floor, two fronting on Tryon street, one of which, will be occupied bv : the Commercial National Bank ? tbi' third fronts on .Fourth street, and would he a very good room for a grocery store. On the second floor there are four--! teen rooms, each with two,window8, nicely arranged and Ajiiifortablyi large, with a mid dle passage.

Pay Yonr Taxes. - Sheriff Alexander makes a 'strong moving appeal, by an advertisement in an other column, to those who are in arrears for taxes, to come up and settle. He assures us that he Is in earnest in what he says, and that if delinquents do not come forward and settle their taxes, he will proceed to sell, aa lequired by law, until his claims are sat isfied.. It will be much better for those. in i arrears, if they will attend to this matter at once- The Wool Cotton. Last week we mentioned some very curi ous cotton .which had :beetr brought to this city. It was a very short staple and had the texture of wool. A gentleman told us on yesterday that he bid seen cloth made from this growth, and that 'it is of the exact fabric of woolen goods. We: would suppose that it was, as nothing so much like wool as that could ever be made, into, strictly speaking cotton goods. The GastoB Mlufng Company. All the available assets of this Gold Min ing Company that are not covered by a deed of trust made to Wm M Stuart, as trustee for the bondholders, have been seized under execution by creditors ih this city. Times have been lively for awhile down the Air- Line, a good many of our business men hav ing gone down to King s Mountain on the lookout for their debts, The property, it is believed, is more than sufficient to satisfy the judgment against the corporation. In twenty days the trust expires, and the whole property will be sold. Lecture To-Night. Mr Tilman R Gaines will deliver a lecture this evening at 7.3d o'clock, at the Court House, upon the subject of immigration. Mr Gaines has been engaged for several years past, in inducing immigration to this sec tion of the South, and in that direction has done a great deal. Many colonies have been taken to South Carolina by him, where they have settled and are prosperous and con tented, with the probability that they will soon become useful and reliable citizens. Addresses will also be delivered this even ing on the same occasion by Col Johnston Gov Vance and Mr Flemming, The public is inyited to be present. The Courts. Mayor's Court. There was no session of this honorable body, there being no busi ness for it; Before Justice Davidson. Mose Shipp, col- ored.for stealing an axe. There seemed some doubt about Moses' guilt, and to make a sure thiDgofit, he was bound over to Superior Court. A negro named Downs, was also np, he for failure to work the road, and was releas ed upon paying cost and promising to do better. There was the usual amount of civil busi ness before the dinerent Magistrates, and Justice Davidson had a jury case, but the above were all the criminal cases. An Enthusiastic Antl-Feuce Man. 'A gentleman tore the appended notice from a tree near Garibaldi, in Gaston coun ty. It is the work of one who is a violent enemy of the fence law, and who wants the boys to rally to defeat it. It makes fine reading, and we lend our mite in aid of the cause by reproducing it just as it is written : Beit KnoWn to all men that On next thursday the 17 day Of feb 18 76 the EleCtOn Come off on the fence and All perSOns on able to Get out on tHat day Send me WOrde and i Will hali them thir for i Want to defeat tbat fence Operation tack Notice and dou not leT no One fule you A bout the day but com out like men A nd let us Raley lik men arouDd tne .roil againbt tne lence laW' men yOu muSt All come Out and VOte With us for yOurSelvs giv me notice Be four; tbat day Jo cathey Raley Boys Raley Almost a Fire. The residence of Mr J R Gillespie, near Davidson College, narrowly escaped destrnc tion by fire early yesterday morning. The family had risen about 3 o'clock, for the purpose of being ready to take the train for Charlotte when it came by, and soon after they all rose, a son of Mr Gillespie went up stairs with a candle to look for something After he had come down, an explosion was heard above, and in a moment the stairway and indeed the whole house was filled with smoke. All hands raa up stairs, and found that in the room where the youth had been, the bed and almost everything else was on fire. The candle had probably been sitting on the table and the names had been com municated to a pile of papers lying there, On the table there was also a bag of powder; this was what had ' caused the explosion, and it had also cast the fire all over the room. Persistent and well directed efforts saved the house, but a good deal of damage was done the room where the fire occurred. From the Knife to the Altar. About two weeks ago we published how Caldwell Hemy carved John Hail, near Shepherd's X Roads, in the Southern part of Iredell county. John was stabbed dan gerously in the pit of the stomach, and for awhile it was thought he would die. But he was engaged to be married and dying was not in his mind at all. The day for the marriage bad been set, and the stabbing oc- curred about ten days before it arrived Though the wound was a deep and a bad one, and the doctor advised quiet and per fect rest, the young man rallied from his bed of suffering, and when the wedding day ar rived, was promptly on hand to take upon himself the marriage vows. The youn lady was ready also, and while the youth could yet almost feci the keen blade as it rip ped through the flesh, the knot was tied and the two were made one. 1 The bride and groom were in this city, yesterday ; the bride a neat and pretty little lassie of about 16 years, the groom a stalwart youth of 18 or 19, who looks as if he were good for many years yet, knives to the con trary notwithstanding; but the wound isnot healed yet; he etill Buffers pain from it, and the doctor still thinks, that he got married too soon. , But Joh don't think so, and maybe he knows best after all. . " .Caldwell Henryvt&e stabbist, is in States yiile jail, because he was notable to give $200 bond for his appearance at Court. They say he is right smart of a galoot,' and that he f had nB bositie&io make that att ack upon John Nail 'J ti- . ! City Gii Sappliec The prices of gas has lately been a good deal discussed in this city, and it will be of some interest to contrast the price here with what it is in the large cities : The price in Baltimore is $3 per thousand feet, (or two dollars and seventy-five cents, being l-12of for prompt payment,) whilst the prices in the other cities alluded to are : Chicago $2 50 per thousand feet; St Louis, $2 25; Cincin nati, $225: Detroit, $1, from gas made from naptha; Pittsburg, $1, from its adjacent cheap coal; Buffalo, , $2 25; Philadelphia, 12 15, from the 1st (if March next; New York $275 to $3; Boston, $225; Brooklyn, $275, with a brospect of an early redaction to $2 25; Richmond, Va., $250, and Lynchburg, $3 France and Europe Since 1848. As may be seen by advertisement, Prof Tripp, the well known lecturer on Europe, is expected to deliver soon in Charlotte a course of his series, descriptive of the great events and prominent actors in France and Europe since 1848, delineated largely from personal knowledge and crignal sources. The lectures have been extensively delivered and have attracted much attention. They are warmly commended by such as have heard themr embracing many of the most distinguished and cultured minds in the country ; and including such names at the North as Rev Dr Sprague, of Albany, N. Y., Geo S Hillard, of Boston, Mass., President Porter, of Yale College, New Haven, Conn. arid at the South, of Rev Dr Phillips, of Chapel Hill, and Dr Eugene Grissom and Hon W N H Smith, of Raleigh. The lec tures were delivered last winter in the prin cipal cities of Virginia and received the em phatic endorsement of the Norfolk, Peters burg and Richmond press, The lecture liast Night. The effort of Rev E H Harding at the Carolina Military Institute, last evening, was one of the finest of its kind that the people of Charlotte have had the privilege of hear ing in many a day, and it is a source of re gret that so few attended it. This fact can be accounted for in two ways : first, by the wet and muddy streets, and second, by the distaste of the people of Charlotte for lecture3 in general. We verily Ibe- lieye that there is not a lecturer in the United States who could get a full house here, even if the doors were thrown open and everybody were invited. After having been introduced by Col Thomas, the lecturer announced as his sub ject, 'The Gentleman and His Culture." He began by referring to the low standard of the society of the present day, as compared with what it was in the better days of the repub lic. In times past, refinement and culture was the passports to society, but this is so no longer. Money is now the pnly requisite, and it makes no difference by what means thi3 money was obtained. It was formerly the case that intelligence, culture and integ rity were necessary in a man who was of fered for a public office, but this state of things has ceased to exist. It might almost be said of this nation now, as Choate once said of Massachusetts, that shoddy rules in society and blackguards in (he government. We haye arrived at that condition of affairs where gentlemen are scouted, and where men who haye climbed to wealth and posi tion by dirty stairways and torturous wind ings, are the real lords of the land. This is one of the most painful results of the late war, and its influence for evil upon the ris ing generation is incalculable. This part of the lecture was particularly fine, and the deductions drawn from the state of society which had just been portray ed, were timely and well put. The reverend gentleman urged upon the young men to al ways maintain their self-respect, and to pre fer to live and die in obscurity rather than win wealth and power by dishonorable means. From this branch of his lecture, Mr Hard ing proceeded to point out some of the char acteristics of the gentleman, and touched first upon his manners. Omitting those of the drawing room, he spoke of those on the streets, on railroads and steamboats, and in all other places where he is thrown in con tact with his fellow men, saying that the gentleman under all thess circumstances is quiet and unobstrusive, never forcing him self forward and always maintaining a dig nified modesty and freedom from those things, such as loud talking and flashy dressing, calculated to excite attention and comment. The style of conversation was also dwelt on.and the abbreviations and the Blang now so prevalent were animadverted upon in severe terms. The adyice given in regard to mental culture was very excellent. The young men were advised t discard the trashy literature of the present day. Novels were spoken of and some recommended. Scott's, Cooper's and Dickens' works were spoken of as good training for the mind ; Macaulay was spok en of as thegreft master of the English lan guage, and reading of his history was recom mended ; those addressed more particularly were advised to read English reviews and Daniel Webster's speeches, While speaking upon this branch of the subject, the lecturer paid a very handsome and deserved compli ment to "Christian Reid," our North Caro lina novelist. " But above all things, the voune men were charged to read the Word of God not only for the good to be derived from it, but also for its wonderful majesty and lofty eloquence. We have left unsaid a great deal that we ought to have said, in presenting an outline of the lecture ; but we must be content with this and with saying tbat it did great credit to the reverend Jecturer.not only on account of the character of the advice given, but also of the elegant language in which his thoughts were clothed, and the deep re search and power of analysis which the lec turer displayed. The A'., T. & O. Railroad, and the Childs Judgment. A good deal has lately been said by tbe press and tbe public in regard to the Atlan tic, Tennessee & Ohio Railroad, and what is known as the "Childs ; Judgment" against the Company, and the public, TJarticniarly tne stocKnoiders and oiners airectiy concern ed, will be interested in a detailed statement of the matter. The history and the facts in the case are that the Atlantic, Tennessee Ohio Railroad Company, .made a mortgage of road-bed, right bf way and franchise, in the year 1861$ and issued under this morV gage, one hundred 1 ah - fifty thousand dolj lars in mortgage bonds. These bonds were put npen the market and sold to different parties. After the war was over, a number of these bonds and coupons were "retired by the company, but there were still a consid erable amount remaining outstanding. The Carolina National Bank, of Colum bia, S C, became the owner of about $42,000 bonds and coupons, and demanded more for them than the officers of the company were willing to pay, and brought suit on the claims for par value of the same. The officers of the company believing that the scale of depreciation of Confederate money applied to this claim, as many of the bonds were not disposed of by the company until after 1882, resisted the suit and after the judgment was rendered in thFderal Court in this State, an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of the United States. The case was argued there and the opinion of the Court below was sustained and an order to foreclose the mortgage was made. The Court appointed a Commissioner be fore whom the bonds and coupons were to be proved, and notice was issued fox all par ties holding the claims to come in and make themselves parties to the suit ; hence it is that our citizens holding the bonds and cou pons are in the case. The Carolina National Bank, sold their claims to L D Childs, of Columbia, and Mr Childs sold to Henry Young, a capitalist of New York City. Henry Young died h year and now Mr Mason Young, executor of his father, has the management of the claim. The impression as created by some of the press, that the Childs claim was fraudulent, was never correct, and no such idea was ever entertained by the officers of the company. The only point of difference between the holdeis of the claim and the parties controll ing the road, while the suit was pending, was as to the scale of Confederate currency. When the judgment was rendered by the Court the point at issue was settled, and all parties acknowledged the perfect yalidity of the claim. It thus became the duty of the officers of the company to make the best ar rangements with the creditors for time, in order to make -some arrangements for pay ing off the debt. This was easily accom plished with Mr Young, and the other cred itors, who have all the time been very leni ent, only requiring a reasonable interest on their claims, which the Board of Directors haye acknowledged just and have promptly met. Col Myers, the President of the Com pany, recently went to New York to see Mr Young, the time for the payment having ex pired, and that gentleman agreed to extend the time until April, 1877, meanwhile the interest to be paid eyery six months. This is the basis of the compromise. Meeting of the Stockholders of the A., T. & O. Railroad Company.

The President then read his report which was adopted. The Secretary then read the contract entered into by Mason Young, Esq, Executor, and W R Myers, President.
