The Lenten services in the two churches are right well attended, so far. Col A Pope, of the Atlantic Coast Line, was in the city on yesterday. A tramp applied for lodging last night, and was given a place in the lock-up. Astounding information from Washington in cur telegraphic reports this morning. A pleasant social hop last evening, perhaps the last of the season. The moon shone out very beautifully last night, but the front gate specialty was lack ing. The lecture this evening is the last of Prof Tripp's course in this city. You should go and hear it. - Yesterday was a much more forcible re minder of Winter than were many of the January days. There is hardly any cotton at all on the platform. We do not remember the day when it has looked so baae as it does now. The Greensboro Patriot says there is talk of putting two trains as heretofore on the R & D aDd N C Railroads, early in the Spring Considering the number of people in the city yesterday, and the amount of stirring about, there was an unusual earth of news. The taking of the press reports of the Belknap case at Washington, on yesterday, consumed, at the telegraph office in this city, from 9 o'clock last night until just 12. A petition to the Governor for the pardon of the man Coddard, who was convicted at the last term of Court, of rape upon a color ed girl, is being circulated in this city for signers. The parties who bought property at the saie oi ine u v uaviason lots ana lands, are requested to call this day on the trustees and settle, or the property will be re-sold at their risk. The last issue of the Lumberton Itobesonian contains a piece of poetry entitled "Silver Threads Among the Gold " We have un derstood that these word3 have been set to music. If so, we would be very much pleas ed to hear the song. A special engine came in last night on the North Carolina Railroad, foT all the empty cars here. They are being taken to Rich raond from all points along the line, there being, we suppose, a rush of freight for the South. Fifteen Cents Apiece. We are informed that copies of yesterday's Observes were sold on the streets as high as fifteen cents. If it be necessary, we take pleasure in stating that five cents is the reg ular price, and subscriptions paid at the of- nce amount to Dut nttie oyer two cents per day, and the paper is delivered in any por tion of the city free of charge. The Bare Foot Chief. Sam Thompson, formerly of this conntv. has a paying position in the Clerk's office in Charlotte, and has made many friends. He has donned his war paint since he went to Mecklenburg, and is now knowD as "Bare Foot Chief." Blue Ridge Blade. Yes, and they do say that the paint which he has donned was rubbed on his cheeks off these of one of the squaws. Services During the teuten Season. The season of Lent is being celebrated in the two churches named below, services as follows : St Peter's (R C) Church. Services two even' ings in the week, viz : Wednesday and Fri day, commencing at 71 o'clock P. M. Wed nesdays, the Stations of the Cross; Fridays, the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with reading of Meditations and night piayers. St Peter's (E) CJWcA.-r-Services on Litany days at 111 o'clock, A M; on all other days at 51 P M. The Oath of the Highwaymen. The following, according to the testimony oi Ferdinand Hendricks, the State a evi dence against the highwaymen, is the oath in which the clan which recently commit ted so many depredations near this city, was bound. It is the verbatim oath to which Ferdinand swore in the Superior Court, yesterday morning : You, the undersigned members of this clan (upon the Testament and a bowie knife certify that yon will not conview the con vulsions of this clan, and if you do, you will thereupon be killed, undeterminable, upon 6ight. Photograph of the Dynamite Fiend " Mr C Hashagen received, on yesterday , from.his brother at Bremerhayen, a photo graph, indeed two photographs, of Thomas sen the fiend who recently caused the dy namite explosion at the place named, blow ing up a vessel and destroying many lives and much property. One of the photographs represents the fiend in good health, and shows the face of a handsome spect acled man of about middle age ; the other repre sents him after he is dead, his eyes closed and sunken. The pictures ire both on the same piece of board, and underneath them is a representation of the explosion, while to the right is displayed to view a portion of the city of Bremer haven..

The present schedule on the Statesyille Railroad, i yery inconvenient for our sub- scribers on that line, The paper is not pat to press until about an hour after the train leaves in the morning, and the consequence is that they must lay in the office here for 25 hours. We doubt the advisability any way, of changing to the present schedule so early in the season. It catches very little through travel and is ruinous to the local business. There is much complaint con cerning it, among the people living on the line of the road. How Cold I If March didn't come in like a lion, it has become as one since, Last evening and night were very cold. The weather through out the day was a precursor of that at night, and the overcoats which had been laid aside until next Fall, were taken hurriedly down from their pegs. Last night the winds swept the streets with such biting breath that everybody was" driven from them, and after 9 o'clock hardly a single person was visible. The cold weather is felt all the more, after the Spring-like days just past, but Old Probs. reports that to-day will be warmer. An Unconstitutional Proceeding. Charlotte, Feb 20th. At the last meeting of our Indian Lodze Joe Caldwell, alias W: P. Wood, was expell ed Dy a two third vote of the entire lodge. Several graye charges were preferred against him, two of the most aggravated were that he could neither sing or whistle. He has united his destinies with the two orphans of this city, and the trio are now often seen sweetly communing .together. They are generally known as the Triplets. iJARB Foot Chief. The above is in the last issue of Avery's pa per, the Blue Ride Blade. It is necessary to the truth of history that some explanation be made of it. About a month ago, one evening while the expelled chief was absent on business connected with another society of which he has the honor to be the Grand Arch Scribe, the Bare Foot Chief, actuated by jealousy, called a meeting of the Indian Lodge in a back room of Schenck's bar room, made the chiefs all blind drunk, aad took a vote on the expulsion while they were ly ing around on the floor. Our counsel, Fire Water, White Lilly, Sitting Bull and Flying Squirrel, have filed a petition to have the action declared unconstitutional, null and void ; and it is a settled fact that before an othre moon shall wax and wane, the Bare Foot Chief himself will be driven in disgrace from the council of warriors. Ugh ! A Few Reflections on the Cash System. We have been satisfied for some time that the only rule on which to conduct a news paper successfully, was to require the sub scriptions to be paid in advance. We are not in the habit of laying our complaints, or our business, before the public, but in justi fication of the rule adopted on the 1st in stant, we feel that a few plain statements may not be out of place. Experience has taught us the lesson, better thaugh it may be, that a daily newspaper cannot be pub lished on thereait system. Every dollar of the expense is cash, and to meet this ex penditure, cash must be required of patrons. Our friends w,ill please remember that we do not refuse to credit them, because they are not good, in the commercial sense of the word, but simply because it is necessary to have some business rule, Which applies to all alike. We have made no distinctions whatever, and shall regret if any of our friends should accuse us of discrimination. No business man, who will take the trouble to look at the subject in its proper light, can blame us for our course. We are far from being independent, either of the merchants or the people of Charlotte: We are a part of her look jealously to her interests, and a friend to every enterprise which is for her advancement or prosperity. In cutting off a large number of our patrons throughout the city, we have attempted what may be considered as a dangerous experiment, which may result to our detriment. We may have unintentionally offended some of our best patrons. If so we are sorry for it, but we cannot retrace our steps if we would, and we certainly do not desire to do so. Thir teen daily papers have been interred in the grave of journalism in Charlotte, and we are determined that the Observes shall not make the fourteenth. We expect to live to write her history for many years to come, and grow better, and better with each year's experience. Sentences of the Highwaymen. Some of the gang of highwaymen who were operating so extensively in the vicini ty of this city about two months ago, have been overtaken by justice. Neal Knox, the leader of the gang, was on yesterday sen tenced to 30 years in the Penitentiary, and four others to 25 years each. Gen Barrin- ger was of counsel appointed to defend these negroes, and when asked by the court what he had to say, before sentence was passed, responded in a few highly sensible remarks. He said that he recognized the enormity of the crime of which the defendants had been proyed guilt., and had nothing to plead for them except their youth and their ignorance. They were all very young men, and he be lieved that they had very little idea of what crime is : they ao not looic upon it as we go, and a great deal of the crime which exists among the race, is chargeable to their teach ers and preathers. It is the dnty of the older negroes to be more careful in the train ing of their young, to set good examples be fore them, and to impress upon them the re sponsibility of citizenship. Gen Barringer continued for some little time in remarks to this purpose, his plea for leniency for his clients being intermingled with some very excellent advice to the colored people. His Honor followed Gen Barringer in a few remarks. He agreed with counsel that much of the crime of the race is chargeable to older heads, and went on to speak of the class of criminals here. - He found that al most all these criminals were foreigners and a floating population, brought in her on the trains. Only13 out of all those in jail, are natives of this county, the others haying-come from a distance, almost all of them haying gone to stealing almost imme diately upon their arrival. Another fruitful source f erime-amoBg the negroes, was the belief which they had been taught to enter tain, thatthey would be pardoned out jof the penitentiary". He assured the colored population that it-was no pleasure for him to punish them, but that it was his. dutji and as long as crime existed here, he should use his best efforts to suppress iti . jr The Courts. Superior Court. The five negro highway men who were Med on Wednesday for the robbery of Mr Jos Erwin, were tried again on yesterday, for shooting and "robbing Ford and Nor colt on the highway. They were all found guilty and sentenced as fol lows : Neal Knox, to 30 years ; Dennis Mc Coy, to 25 ; Jim Poindexter to 25 ; Jim Sud der to 25 ; Adam Phifer to 25. They were tried also for assault ou these parties and found guilty, thus making four cases in which they have been convicted. Of couse, in all the cases except one, judgment was suspended. 'Kiah Lawrence, colored, was tried for forgery, and was found guilty, but sentence has not yet been passed. John Blair, colored, was tried and convicted of stealing a hog, but has not yet been sen tenced. Charlotte Henderson, colored, was tried for stealing a dress from the premises of S C Wolfe, and was found not guilty. These were all the jury trials during the day About 10 or 12 cases were disposed of other wise. Mayor s Cowl, Wm Hipp was up for a case of d. and d.. was found guilty and fined $2 and cost There was no criminal business before the Magistrates. Cash or Credit. It is a matter of pride to us that the adop tion of the cash system by us on the first instant, meets with the approval and ap probation of many of our best friends among the business men of the city. We give the following letter endorsing our course, from one whose opinions are valua ble : Messes Editoe3 ; We have all become so accustomed to seeing "Notice to Delin quents" in print, that we supposed that the Observes, like the shenn and Tax Collec tor, would giye us another, and still another extension. Imagine then my surprise this morning, to find that my paper had been topped! Of course I was indignant. Wasn t my credit good for eight dollars, or eyen two dollars for a single quarter ' For years the Observes had been a daily visitor to my house and my subscription had always been paid promptly on demand. 1 didn t like it in tact, 1 was mad. A little calm reflec tion nowever, showed me tnat you were right and you have my forgiveness. There is no reason why you should give me credit, when you require cash from others, so 1 in close the amount due you and four dollars to pay six months in adyance, and will con tinue the cash business, ana only wish you could give some of your friends the requisite amount of nerve to carry out their inten tion of doing a "strictly cash business " as you are doing. Barely no lair minded man will blame you for your course when he has given the matter a lair ana square loos in tne lace. Continue to send me the Observes and your subscription shall be promptly paid here after. Meechant. Charlotte, N. C, March 2, 1876. March. We derive the present name of this month from the Romans, among whom it was, at an early period, the first month of the year, as it continued to be in several countries to a comparatively late period, the legal year beginning eyen in England on the 25th of March, till the change of style in 1752. For commencing the year with this month there seems a sufficient reason in the fact of its being the first season after the death of the year, m which decided symptoms of a re newal of growth take place. And for the Romans to dedicate their first month to Mars, and call it Martius, seems equally natural, considering the importance they at tached to war, and the use they made of it. Among our Saxon fathers, the month bore the name of Lenet-monat that is, length- month in reference to the lengthening of the day at this season, the origin also of the term Lent. March is noted as a dry month. Its dust is looked for, and becomes a subject of con gratulation, on account of the importance of dry weather at this time for sowing and planting, i The idea has been embodied in proverbs, as "A peck of March dust is worth a king's ransom," and "A dry March never begs its bread." Blustering winds usually prevail, more or less, throughout a consid erable part of the month, but mostly in the earlier portion. Hence, the month appears to change its character as it goes on : the commjn remark, familiar to eyery one, is that "It comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." Regulations for Lent. The following are the regulations for the Lenten Season, as officially promulgated by the Rt Rev James Gibbons, Bishop of Rich mond and Administrator Apostolic of North Carolina : 1st. The Lent this year will commence on Ash-Wednesday, the 1st of March. 2d. Every day of Lent (Sundays excepted) is a fast day, binding on all not legitimately dispensed. Only one fall meal (to be taken after midday) is allowed by law. 3d. Flesh meats is allowed on Sundays at all the meals ; and on week days, at the principal meal on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, except the second and last Saturday: 4th. To those who fast, custom allows in the morning a cup of coffee, of tea, or choco late made with water, and a small portion of bread; also an evening collation, not to ex ceed the fourth part of an ordinary meal, Those not having control of their times oi reDast. and forced to take their meals at a late hour in the afternoon, are permitted to transfer the collation to the morning. bth. Flesh meat and fish are not to be used during Lent at the same meal. 6th. Excluding flesh meats, if the propor tion customary be not exceeded, it is per mitted to use at collation the other articles of food, such as fruit, butter, cheese, eggs, and even fish.' 7th. The preparation of food with hog's lard is allowed. '8th. Being under twenty-one years of age, old age, infirmity of health, pregnancy, the nursing of infants at the breast, and bard labor, are good causes of dispensation from the fast." But good reasons for being ex empted from the fast are not always reasons to be exempted irom tne aosunence. - 9th The Paschal time extends from the first Sunday of Lent till Trinity : Sunday, during which time Catholics who . have at tainedtbe use of reason are bound, when, approved by their; cnfeseors,' to receive HoIy Communion. -''A. child at the age :of 1 seven years is considered bound by the law of confession. Parents, should take notice of this fact. - c ' 1 Woo the Criminals Are, It is noticed in an article, elsewhere in these columns, that Judge Schenck, in some remarks from the bench on yesterday, re ferred to the fact that a large proportion of those confined in jail here, charged with various offences, are non-residtnts who have floated ra here and committed crime. The following Ifst, which has been prepared by Deputy Sheriff Farrow, the jailor, will show where the criminals come from. The list shows that only 13 of the 41 prisoners in jail, are bona fide residents of Mecklenburg. The following is the list of names and resi dences : Bobt J Smith, white.

The second of the course of lectures being delivered in this city by Prof Tripp, was one of great interest. It treated of the Crimean War and of the eftorts of France to establish herself in Mexico, with interest reminiscences of Maximilian and Carlota. Barely touch- ine UDon "the eastern question" what to do with Turkey and the He;z ovinian in surrection which is now in progress, the lecturer began, properly speaking, 200 ago, when the Turks were a powerful people, and gave a running sketch of some of their wars. Then coming up to the Crimean war, be explained that the reason why the ac quisition of Crimea was sought, was that it contained one of the finest ports of the world Sebastapol. The lecturer .sketched, in yivid language, some of the principal bat tles of that war, not the least interesting of which wa3 that of Balaklava, which Tenny son has immortalized along wi th the Light Brigade, which, on that bloody day, single- handed and alone, threw itself against the whole Russian forces. ' The history of the war was told, up to the Jast battle, when victory perched upon the French banners. From this the lecturer proceeded to the establishment by France of the empire ia Mexico. The early lives of Maximilian and Carlota were dwelt upon, their birth, train ing, education and marriage, and a tribute, beautiful, eloquent and glowing, was paid the lofty-minded.kingly yet ill-starred Aus trian, who assumed the reins to rule the mercurial Mexicans. The story of Maximil ian's brief reign, and his cruel death, as well as tne existence worse tnan.aeain wmcn the once beautiful Carlota is-now dragging out are yet fresh in all minds, and we need not dwell upon them. The lecture was full of interest and in struction ; the descriptions were very fine, and it was in all respects worthy the close attention which was paid it. Prof Tripp will deliver this evening at 8 o'clock, the third and concluding lecture of his highly interesting course in Charlotte ; subject: the Causes of the Franco-Prussian War and the defeat of Napoleon, together with a sketch of the campaign to the surrender at Sedan. This lecture, we have reason to believe, is by far the most important and valuable of the course, and will be an exhaustive treatment of the grand theme, involving an intimate acquaintance with the whole complicated work of European political events for the past half century.
