CITY BULLETIN
Notwithstanding the court, it is dreadful
ly dull now.
We are gaining day light at tbe rate of two
minutes a day.
The Grand Jury has completed its labors,
and will be discharged this morning.
The Indian Lodge gives a hop oa th 6th
of April, to which expelled chiefs will be
invited.
Mr E M Andrews has his painters at woit
upon the Institute for Young Ladies, the
exterior of which is being very much im
proved. The " house " which we spoke of yester
day as having thrown a boy, is well ; the
boy, however, still gaz 38 upon the beauties
of nature with one eye
In all the township of the county where
the fence law has been adopted,: stock must
be put up to-day. Good fences have been
built all around the townships.
There was a partial eclipse of the moon
this morning, beginning atG minutes past 12
and ending at 5 minutes past 2. Only a very
small part of the moon's disc was obscured.
The big old house which sat iu the Fiye
Points, and in which much of the rascality
of that locality was concocted is being mov
ed up on Trade street near the old foundry,
and will have a brick front.
We have perhaps the best, the most thor
oughly attentive, pains-taking and conscien
tious County Treasurer in the State. A
punster well remarks that noons will ever
catch our Bclk-napping.
The season for Spring poetry has come.
"The gentle Spring has come again'' is a
very good foundation, and the poet who
can't build up sixteen ttanza3 on it, is very
much lacking iu ideas.
Ihe hne plesant weather is fa voi able for
tree planting, and everv Dronertv owner
should see to it that trees are set out on his
vacant lots. Improvements of this kind
cost but little, yet they add much to the ap
pearance and value of property.
The Atlanta Cons Uution has this item con
cerning an Air Line conductor : "The con
ductor's punch voted at the centennial tea
party of the Young Men's library to Capt
Fred D Bosh, has arrived" It cost over $40
and is handsomely plated with gold and
appropriately inscribed.'"

Convicted AH Except Two.
Out of 100 criminal cases tried at the pre
sent term of Court, Mr Solicitor Montgom
ery lost but two. This statement shows well
for his abilities and qualifications for the
office of prosecuting attorney. He exercises
great judgment in the cases which he brings
to trial, and if satisfied that an indictment
will not hold water, he throws the case ou t
of court.
A Lady CMnnlimented.
The Atlanta ContlUtUion pays the follow
ing compliment to a lady who once resided in
this city : "Mrs H M Clark, for a number
of years the leading soprano at St Paul's
church, Augusta, sang in tbe choir of the
Central Presbyterian church last Sunday
morning in the voluntary of 'Jesus, Saviour
of my Soul,' Mrs Clark singing the soprano
solo. She fully sustained her reputation as
a fine singer. The alto solo was grand."
A Good Day lor It.
There never has been as much tobacco
chewed here in any one day as there wa3
yesterday. There wasn't anything else to
do, and it was r. pretty day for chewing to
bacco. Besides, the store keepers, when
they sat down to a piece of white pine, gv. t
so much interested in it, that they would
throw oat one chew and put in another
without ever thinking about it. One gro
cery dealer, who don't advertise,1; chewed 30
cents worth, and it took all the profits off of
the day's sales.
An Important Supreme Court Decision.
A telegram received in this city, yesterday
afternoon from Raleigh, states that, - in the
case of Joseph H Wilson, el. al., vs, the
Board of Aldermen of the City of Charlotte,
recently argued before the Supreme Court,
tne (Jourt on yesterday nied an opinion in
favor of the city. In this case the plaintiffs
raised the question of the power of the city
to tax stocks, bonds and evidences of debt,
and also the right of the city to borrow
moner for its necessary purposes. The Court
holds, as is presumed from the decision, that
the defendants have the power, under the
charter, to tax stocks, bonds and other evi
dences of debt, and to borro w money for
necessary purposes. it overrules, it is
thought, a previous decision of the Court,
in the case of Weinstein v. the City of New
bern. ; iBorae $3,000 or $10,000 are involved
in this sui The-ralegtam announcing the
decision,' was -edeiTed 'toy1 Messrs. 'Jones &
Johnston, attorneys, for the city. . The full
text of the opinion as hJeJ, t will be. received
in a few days,, when we will publish it, as a
matter of general as well as local interest.
" We copy from the Raleigh Sentinel, the
following decisions made by the Supreme
Court on Monday last, in cases from this
portion of tbe 8tat: ,
State vs. Leander Cruse, from Iredell
"Affirmed. f, ;:;. 'K ;
I Benjamin Justice vs. Hulda Eddings from
Claaveland. . Judgment affirmed. ' ' -r ;:
W M Smith' vs. Rtifds Barringer, from
Cabarrus. Affirmed and remanded.
.Telegraph Change. ' .
We are sorry to know that Mr T C Joyneiv
who has been manager of the Southern and
Atlantic Telegraph Office , in ; this city ( far
about two years past, ha? been : transferred
to the office at Columbia, of which he will
have the management. Mr Joyner leaves
here a few days before the end of the pres
ent month, and will be succeeded by Mr
Eagene Dodge, who now has charge of the
office of this company at Lynchburg, Va.
Tom Joyner's place in the community will
be hard to nil. He is a most excellent fel
low, and no one can know him without
liking him. The town is full of his friends,
and we are by no means al jne in our regret
that he is to leave us.
A Valuable Hand Goue.
The Republican pariy of Meck'enburg
has lost its Ita ling speech maker. Rev Z T
Pearsall has moved to Rale'gh. This report
er was compensated, during the last cam
paign, for all the stench he endured at Radi
cal meeting, by watching and listening to
Pearsall. He was al wayibig With a speech .
If any other windy orator was ever sharp
enough tp get the floor from him, he dared
not pause for half a second between his
words to spit, to wipe the perspiration from
bi3 brow or to take a drink of water; if he
did, Pearsall would pop up and take the
matter out of his hands and do the speaking
himself. To hear Z T on i,he constitution
ality of the act calling the late Convention,
was to hear a speech which would be re
membered to one's dying day. We are sor
ry he has gone.
Saud-Packed Cotton.
Messrs Sutherlin & Johnston haye just re
ceived a couple of bales of cotton from a
point on the Eastern Division of the Caro
line Central Railroad, which were packed
fraudulently and quite ingeniously. The
outside of the bales, show good, cotton, with
nothing to indicate that there is anything
wrocg within; yet tbe centre of the bale is
filled with loose white sand, scattered all
through the bale. Burrow into the bale
and pull out a handful of cotton, and the
sand rains from it so that the amount shak
en from one handful, will cover the palm of
your hand. One of the bales weighs 587
pounds, and the other 528, and there cannot
be less than 50 pounds of sand in each bale
Messrs Sutherlin & Johnston know from
whom they purchased the coiton, but do not
know the farmer by whom it was originally
sold and who packed it with sand.
Capt Elms, the chief cotton weigher, who
has been in the business for a long while-.
says he never saw a bale jacked this way
before. He once saw two bales with a bag
of sand in the middle of each, surrounded
by brick bats, but never saw a bale with
the sand scattered all through it, like this.
The man who sold those bales with the
sand bags and brick bats in tUem, found
that he had been detected, and fled the town
without any money at all for Ids cotton,
and the firm which had bought the two
bales, made 700 or 800 pounds of good cot
ton without eyer paying a cent for it.
Silver Threads Among Ihe Gold.
The last issue of the Robesonian contains a
piece oi poetry enmiea onver anreaas
Among the Gold." We have understood
that these words have Ween set to music. If
so, we would be yery much pleased to hear
the song. Observer.
Thus saveth Bro. Ualdweli, tne accom
plished city editor of the Charlotte Ob?eryek
in last Friday's paper. we are really at a
loss to know whether our cotemporary is ig
norant of this sterling sentimental air, or
whether he is trying to poke fan at us for
trying to vie with the numerous song books.
Taking it for granted, however, that he is
ignorant of it. we will intorm mm mat tnis
song was obtained by the chief musicians of
our town nearly twelye months ago, and in
due coarse of time it was transmitted to the
serenaders. 'These are the words
of a yery popular and beautiful air. It was
the best stock in trade naa oy tne ceieDratea
Gruber family in their musical entertain
ment given in this town last December, and
now the same tune is an inseparable com
panion of the parlor and the kitchen, the
field and the work shop, bachelor club and
-he nursery. Lumberton liobesoman.
Charlotte is not usually behind her neigh
bors in anything, and we really feel morti
fied to find out that she is still ignorant of
a song of which we haye read so much and
which seems to be so popular elsewhere.
The Gruber family, however, of which our
excellent contemporary speaks, did not come
to see us. and this u perhaps the solution of
the matter. We have ordered the piece
through one of our music dealers for a lady
friend, and after she has learned it, if b roth
er McDiarmid will come up, he shall hear
it chirped as he never heard it chirped be
fore.
The Southern Life Insurance .Company.
Col Wm John3ton returned "yesterday
morning from Memphis, whither he went
to attend a meeting of the Directors of the
Southern Life Insurance Company, which
has recently failed. Col Johnston reports
that the Directors found the failure to be a
very bad one ; the Company is entirely
swamned. and in such a condition that it
could now pay almost nothing at all. The
causes of the failure are, in brief, the failure
of the Carolina Life to pay up its reserve
$83,000 and the deaths of policy holders
from cholera and yellow feyer. A great
many of these policies were held in the in
fee ted districts, and the losses by death from
these diseases, have not been less than $500,
000.
The Directors at their meeting assessed
the stockholders 40 per cent, and appointed
two agents, the late Secretaries of the Com
pany at Memphis and at Atlanta, to go to
work and ascertain if they Could not effect
some kind of compromise with the creditors.
These can make nothing by forcing the
property of the company to sa'e, since at
the present time the property would go at
an enormous sacrifice. If a compromise of
any kind can be made, it is hoped that the
company can be re-instated to its former
position among the insurance companies of
the country, and resume business. By this
means the policy holders at least would be
protected, and preierrea stocx couia do is
I sued to creditors;
Col Johnston says that the cry of hard
times is general, in all places where he has
heeni and in all sections from which be has
"heard. On passing through Atlanta going
.to and returning ffoni Meronl, 'fa heard
of three failures involving a million of dol
lars, and the people of Memphis confess that
their city never knew such financial strin
gency. This is the report on all hands, and
Col J. returns home relatively better satis
fied.
Convicts fr tae Penitentiary. '
Deputy Sheriff Farrow, accompanied by a
sufficient guard, leaves this, marning; with
the prisoners sentenced to the penitentiary
during the present term of court. The1 pris
oners are colored; there are 16 in all 4,less
than went down to Raleigh after the last
term of court. We give below a list of the
names, with, the crimes of which the pris
oners were convicted, and the terau ijr
which they are sentenced .
Wm Bryce, larceny, 2 year ; Iiaai Grif
fith, embezzlement, 2 years ; Mose Welch,
larceny, 2 years ; Henry Williams, larceny,
2 years; Gus Wayman, larceny, 10 years;
Neal Knox, highway robbery, 30 years; Jim
Suthers, Adam Phifer, Dennis McCoy Jim
Poindextcr, all highway robbery, 25 years
each; Jim Porter, larceny, 3 years-; Decatur
Bryant, who was convicted at the" last term
of court, of robbing Mr John Rankin, and
appealed, but failed to g?t a new trial, was
sentenced to 10 years:
A "Ghost" iu a Church Yard.
A few nights ago, persons passing the
First Presbyteiian Church, saw a white fig
ure walking to and fro between the door
and the lamp posts in front of the church.
It paced this short distance, back and forth,
time and again, till those who first saw it.
calling the attention of others to it, caused a
large crowd to assemble in a short time
around the palings enclosing the yard. The
figrtre excited great interest and some ex
citement, and speculation was rife as to
what it was. Presently two of the crowd
who had been watching, started around the
yard for the purpose of closing in upon it,
when the ghost lowered sail, jumped the
fence and hid in the old cemetery, in rear of
tbe church. It was, of course, a man en
veloped in a sheet, under which he had a
pole by which he could raise the sheet to
any height desired.
Ii was elegant fun, and we've no doubt
the sportive genius, after getting into the
cemetery, laid down and rolled all over tbe
graves, and nearly died in a paroxysm of
laughter.
The Courts.
Superior Court.-The proceedings, yesterday,
were devoid of interest. There were no
jury trials, and all the business consisted of
motions, compromises, non-suits, abate
ments, judgments, &c By these means,
quite a number of cases were gotten off the
docket. The only case of any interest what
ever, was that of the Commissioners of Ca
barrus against the Commissioners of Meck
lenburg, in which there was a motion for
judgnrent, and argument- The Commis
sioners of Cabarrus brought suit against
those of this county to recover the amount
of cost to that county, in consequence of
the Rea suit which was moved from Meek
lenburg over there. The amount is about
$1,500. The papers were handed up, but
His Honor afterwards granted the motion.
The civil docket will be worked upsn again
to-day.
There was no session of the Mayor's Court
yesterday morning, and no criminal cases
before any of the Magistrates.
The Morgan Portable Engine.
ill W C Morgan, of this city, had one of
his engines on exhibition at the great exhi
bition at New Orleans. The New Orleans
Times, of the 5th, speaks in the following
complimentary terms of Mr M's exhibition:
"Another highly meritorious award was that
giyen to the Morgan Portable Engine, rep
resented by Maj W C Morgan, and from the
Erie City Iron Works, over four competitors
We have frequently taken occasion to speak
favorably of this compact and smooth-running
little engine, and experience no sur
prise that the committee should agiee with
us in estimating its value for plantation use;
for they could hardly haye done otherwise.
One third lighter than any other of the
same power, less liable to be upset on bad
roads, more economical in consumption of
fuel, and easier handled : it out lasts and
outworks many much larger affairs as it is
made of the very best of material irom tne
top of the smoke stack to the bottom of the
wheel tire."
An Exciting Chase After a Horse Thief.
There was considerable excitement in
some parts of the city last evening about
supper time, produced by a chase after a
South Carolina horse thief named C Wil
liamson. Some weeks ago, this fellow stole
a dark chestnut sorrel horse Irom L. W.
Corley, of Lexington county, 8. C, and was
traced to this city. Mr. Corley telegraphed
to a friend here concerning the matter, and
papers were gotten out and placed in the
hands of the Constables, who have been
working up the case for a day or two past.
Last evening, Williamson was spotted, and
CoLStable King called on him at Mrs. As-
bury's boarding bouse, corner Tryon and
Fourth streets, where he was stopping, call
ed him out and told him that be had a
warrant for him. He expressed surprise,
and asked what for; being informed, he
responded that it was all light, and he Would
. a - - i i ,
go as soon as ne sieppea in ana got nis
overcoat.' All too confident in the honesty
of the thief s purpose, the Constable let him
go inside, and no sooner in than he slam
med the door in the officer's face, and dashed
out the back door.
Pursuit was given, and a crowd of men,
boys and dogs joined in the chase- Several
snots were nrea, ail oi wnicn were reiurnea,
and the rascal ran down the back streets,
past the jail, through California, across Da
vis' meadow, and escaped. It la thought
that one of the shots struck him, as he fell :
he soon recovered himself, however,, and
was off again. Williamson is rather below
medium size : has erey eyes, black mous
tache, is rather good-looking, weighs about
145 pound?, wears dark clothes and a cap
with the ears tied across tne crown, xne
whereabouts of tbe horse is not known, but
Williamson remarked, yesterday, to a livery
stable keeper, that be had, a horse " across
the river. '
Ate Iler Rations, Then Broke Dcr Back.
There is more fun in the Magistrates'
Courts than anywhere else in town. Last
about 11 o'clock, Emeline Springs had Ellis
Bright, both colored, before Justioe David
son, for assault and battery. - The woman
alleged that Ellis had been living at her
house for five months ; that she - had fed
him, done hfcv washing, patching, Ac,' and
when Bhe askedTnm'fCr a shoes, he
knocked bet down with a stick, threw her
in a ditch and nearly broke her back,; and
then wouldn't pay the doctor bilL ' Defen
dant stated that the woman tore his shirt
dean off him and When we left the Justice's
office, the court hadn't just exactly made up
Its mind what to do about the matter.
SPECIAL NOTICES.
It is a lamentable fact that thousands re
gard an affection of the throat or lungs, such
as a cough, cold or hoarseness, with extreme
indifference, These complaints are often
but the forerunner of consumption, and can
be instantly cured by Dr Bull's Cough Sy
rup. CDT THlVoUT. .
It May Save Your Life.
There is no person living but what suffers
more or less with Lung Diseases, Coughs,
Colds or Consumption, yet some- would die
rather than pay 75 cents for a bottle of medi
cine that would cure them. Da. A. Bos
chkk's Germ ah Syruf has lately been intro
duced in this country from Germany, and
its wondrous cures astonishes eyery one that
try it. If you doubt what we say in print,
cutout and tak it to-your Druggists Messfr
