The Democrats of Cherokee county nave nominated Uol John Jttolinfor representative in the Legislature and endorsed J L Robinson for State Sena tor. Milton Chronicle : There iff some talk of the Hon C S Winstead beine an in dependent candidate for the State Sen ate in this district. Harnett county has an independent candidate. Dr J W Atkins is his name, and not haying much practice he wants to be clerk of the Superior Court. It is rumored that Mr W T H E vy ing, of Montgomery, is a candidate for the Senate in the district composed of his county and Richmond. Inde pendent, .. The Concord Sun says : We men tioned about two weeks ago that some one had called another convention for Stanly county, to nominate another benator, on the plea that the conven tion of the loth ult was not an expres sion ot the people, well, Saturday ast was the day for the convention, and as a citizen of Montgomery, who was present, told us : "If you ever saw h 1 raised, you saw it there.'' The meeting couldn't get organized ; cat calls, hisses, speeches and noise being too abundant for any one to attempt to call the house to order. The leaders gave it up and left the court bouse, and the crowd had fun till they tired of it. Dr Anderson is the regular nominee, and we learn that the good Demopratg of Stanly will muster under his banner, THE 6 BEAT LOUISVILLE RACE. a Which Tea Broeck Distances the California Mare in the First Heat, Louisville, July 4. At 10 o'clock this morning the Btreets were wellnigh impassable, the buildings were hand somely decorated, and unparalleled in terest was felt in the great event of the day. The hrst race was a dash of a mile and three-quarters, and was won by Dank, beating Harkaway easily ; time z.lbt. ihe second race was a sweep stakes for two year-olds, and was won by (ioodnight, with Jvtnton second and Charlemagne third ; time 1.20. When the drum tapped for the great four-mile race to day Ten Broeck and Mollie McCarthy went by the string ike twin bullets. Ten Broeck had the outside of the track, and the mare, be ing on the inside, ran to the front from the start. At the first quarter they were side by side and going gallantly on to victory. The half mile did not change the position, and as they mov ed onward the thirty thousand specta tors were held in perfect silence. Be tween the half and three-quarters the mare got her nose ahead and a great cheer went up, and then as they came past the string and she again appeared in the front another cheer was heard. The mare was moving easy, but Ten Broeck was being driven bard. In the second mile Molhe seemed to be moving with such ease, and Ten Broeck labored so hard, that the Ken- tuckians wavered by thousands, and the certainty of California's winning produced a dead silence. At the half post in the second mile Walker urged Ten Broeck quite hard, and Hawson permitted him to come up side by side. A Kentucky yell, which was heard for miles, rent the air. So they ran past the three; quarters, and coming into the stretch Mbllie McCarthy brushed ahead again? passing the grand stand a half length in the lead. 'She will win sure was heard in all directions, and more confident grew the cry as her easy movement continued, the horse still driving. She passed the Quarter in the third mile still leading, but the horse hung on to ner ciose, and made a pace so murderous that many knew his bottom would nave an enect ultimately. At the three-eighth pole of the third mile McCarthy let up in her running. Ten .broeck talcing me track and passing her at the very mo ment his friends were giving him up He increased rapidly the distance sep arating: them . The mare s break-down was heard the held over, out sne ran on. w aiuer puning me norse sngnwy was ahead on the third mile ten lengths, and he increased it all the tiro e, and although her defeat was now cer tain, few realized how far and how easy Ten Broeck would win. He little more than ealloped the remaining mile, the Queen of the Californias being at the three-quarter pole when the great "Kentucky crack distanced ner. xne time was 8.19, as follows : First mile, 1.49; second xmle,3.45t; third mile, 5.53;1burth mile, 8.19i more than a minute slower than his best record. Both horses were well used up, the heat being intense. There was no heavy betting, the Calif ornians and Eastern people who baeked the mare I being content with small investments taf three to nve. Thirty thousand peo ple or more were present. Superior Court Ridings.

De BoBBrrr ; It has been my cood fortune recently to spend two Sabbaths in Charlotte, N C, and to worship with our church in Tryon street, and I thought perhaps a few lines giving th e impression received during this visit Would be of interest to some of your readers. Our church in Charlotte is doing well. Bro Boshamer has a large congregation and is doing them a good work. They love him very much. THE SPIRITUALITY OP THE CHURCH. The spirituality of the membership is much better than I expected to find it. From what I had heard of Char lotte I thought they were a cold, for mal people, not much given to piety and not very devoted to their pastors, but this is not the ease by any means. have found them to be a pleasant, hospitable, pious people, and in ming ling with them in company with Bro Bosbamer, I have been impressed with their interest in and care for their pastor. THE YOUNG MEN. They have here in the church a large number of promising pious young men who are doing a valuable work tor the church. These young men hold a young men's prayer meet ing every Sunday morning at 9 o'clock, and on communion Sundays they make this prayer meeting an experi ence meeting. It was my pleasure to attend one of these experience meet ings, and my heart was gladdened to hear so many young men. in broken. joyous accents, testify to the richness and fullness of the love of God. They Conducted their own prayer meeting, led in prayer themselves, and sang the rich songs of Zion until all our hearts were touched and mellowed by the hallowed influences of the hour of pray er. They have here a noble band of young men, and if they go on as they have started, (iod will bless them with a large sphere of usefulness on earth and crown them with eternal life in heaven. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. The Sunday school is a most excel lent one and is continually improving. Dr T C Smith is the superintendent and he seems to be plum full of life and energy and enthusiasm in the Sunday echool work. He conducts his school in an orderly and successful manner. In connection with the school Mrs Dr Green has an infant class, numbering about 56, and Bro Boshamer and Dr Green have Bible classes composed in part of the older members of the church. Thus they interest and instruct both the older and the younger mem bers of the charge. A Sunday school conducted as this one is, cannot fail to do good. THE APPROACHING CONFERENCE. The people here are beginning to ar range for the approaching annual con ference which convenes in this city November 27th, 1878. They are pre paring to make some improvements in the church building and they say they will have no difficulty in entertaining the conference. They are perfectly satisfied with the result of the division movement, and in every particular, Methodism in Charlotte, I think, is progressive. A call has been made for a Sunday school county convention, as directed by the late international Sunday school convention which convened in Atlanta, Ga. Truly,, F L Reid. Charlotte, N C, June 24th, 1878. The Fourth of July in Salisbury. Correspondence of the Observer. The 4th was considerably celebrated here. The fire department, consisting of the Hook and Ladder Company, No 1, Star Fire and Hose Company, and the Colored Fire Company, No 1, with engines, trucks, etc, all beautifully dec orated, paraded the principal streets. headed by Cornet Baud No 2, with the chief of the fire department, Mr Theo F Kluttz, the orator of the day, Mr Frank Brown, and the reader of the declaration, Mr B F Rogers, in a car riage, bringing up the rear. At noon the procession entered the court house, where Mr Rogers read the grand old declaration in Stirling style, and Mr Brown delivered an eloquent oration. Mr Gray, of Kentucky, was also called out and responded in ele eant style. At 5 p m a real old time fantastic procession paraded the streets in mot lev garb and on quaint steeds. Every thing passed off pleasantly, and really reminded one of the "auld lang syne' There is life left in the old land yet, if it is only allowed to come to the sur face. Our people would do well to cul tivate this spirit more. We have too few holidays, particularly national ones. A NOTE OF WARNING. How the Democratic Committee Regard Inde pendents. Washington, July 2. The Demo cratic congressional committee baa not yet decided upon their policy tor the approaching congressional campaign, and has not held any formal meeting to lay out the summer's work. It is reported by a member of the commit tee that the want of funds will cripple to a great extent the work of the com' mittee. Several thousand dollars have been subscribed by Democratic mem bers of Congress,, but as no money has yet been paid into the treasury, the committee is out of funds. Reports from various parts of the South repre sent a disposition on the part of the Democrats to break away from party traces and run independent tickets. This information is far from satisfacto ry to the Democratic leaders as it en dangers the Democratic control of the next House of Representatives. Appointment of an Ex-Confederate. The Richmond (Va.)
