OBSERVATIONS. Wanted, bad, the man who he don't know it all. Tarboro will confess Southerner; When the Apostle Paul said "all is vani ty" he was looking straight at a yonng man wearing a straw hat with a blue band around it. Nothing makts a bald-headed man so mad as a fly that doesn't know when it has enough. "Earus" came of por but honest parents. His progenitor did duty as the beast of a Fulton market (New York) fish-dealer. Perhaps you have noticed that the man who advances the idea that a pipe affords him the best satisfaction is the one who in variably puts in an appearance when some one is going to set up the cigars. What a volume of domestic misery these two little lines contain ; "dix million bot tles of hair restorative were sold in the United States last year." But as long as the birds make nests we suppo3e people will love and take the consequeLCej. A man who was recently hung in Indiana, bsing of a very radical turn of mind, made no observations about meeting any body in heaven. He m erely nodded to the preacher and said laconically, "I'll see you later," and thenhe trap fell. The proprietress of the most notoricus mansion of the demi monde in Memphis has discharged its inmates and cenverted the housje i(ntoa yejlow fever hospital, remain ing there 'herself to nurse the patitnts. A little boy from New York went iDto the country visiting. He had a bowl of bread and milk. He tasted it, and then hesitated moment, when bis mother asked him if he' did cot Hke it, to which he replied, smacking his lips, "Yes, ma. I wa? wish ing our milkman would keep a cdw.'' New Haven Register. An old Irish soldier, who prided himself upon Ms bravery, aid he had fought in the battle of "Bull Bun." When asked if he had retreated and made good his escape as others did on thai occasion, he replied : 'Bejabers, those that didn't ran are there National Banks and the Bondholder. 3 . ' , B 5! j Editor Charlotte Observer In the Observer of the 18th of Au gust is published an article headed f 'national banks."' The writer states that he is sorry to see that much ill feeling has been engendered . towards the national banks and the bondholder. Ah, indeed 1 Who is to blame for that ? We do not propose to say mucn about the national banks. The article alluded to contains the statement that since the war individuals accumulating $500 could loan it to the banks at six or eight Rer cent, and' that ? tb e banks couki loan all the money they couloV get at twQLye) eighteen. per cent. , IT we were running a Dans we wouiu say, Save us from our friends ; for that fact alone has done more to prejudice the people against the national banks than any thiBg else, it created a monopoly and much "the larger portion of the people are 'opposed to monopolies, and ought to be. The banks did borrow monevtnd loan it out at one and two per cenJ per month, and such a rate of interest will break down the business of any community. But for such ex orbitant interest we would not have heard of the usury law. One other sharp trick of the banks, for which they are now receiving any amount of cursing, was flooding the South with Mexican dollars, and then refusing to receive them back for more than ninety cents. ;i bondholders. 's A few tbbuehts as to these. Mil lions of fifovernment bonds were issued tfrawine five and six per cent interest, "written on their face to be redemed in currency; Many -.or these bonds cost the I holder about fifty cents on the dol lar in ereenbacks, wnen gold was thir ty to forty jents premium, costing the Violder of bonds about tnirty-iour cents nn the dollar in cold, - on -which the bondholder iras claimed and receiv a uiauot' iii.,orAi' Tint fnr what hft paid fir the bontUbut interest for lihrf face of the bond, thereby making from fourteen, .tto twenty per centper an num in eoia.Vv Jiot, saiisnoa , mux ui ff f gpklr.'wnen toe contract 'written upon the bonds states that they are to be re deemed in the currency of the country. W.e do not doubt bat these bondhold ers bought up a corrupt President as i weUas a corrupt, abolition Congress to pas? measures in he interest of bond I hold era, fegardlees of the interests of the people. We -doubt not that there haa existed, and . still exists, a ring among; the bondholders and: many of the Rational banks jin the bountry to control Con.gr esB i,o measures for their special j nJ;ere8t4., ; '.. , ' , ; flilrr.ency for', the; people should be good enough for ; the j .bondholder, and tvho can doubt ibut i (hat) Tilden ' was cheated out of the presidency by this grea, ponied monopoly? Why doeff the aem York Herald continue to uree General Grant for , President . in 1880 ? It is the same old serpent. If not, why such a clarnxwring lor a strong govern ment ? With theee facts fresh in -the minds of the people is it a surprise to anyone that there is such an uprising of the people op this subject? Truth and justice crushed' to the earth : will surely rise:agaio.. :: - , m.i : One op the People. Charlotte,' August 31. ,, . An Independent Opinion of Utterance. Conklingte Latest . t Philadelphia Time-i, Independent. . j sMr Oonkling vhaa not yet delivered his speech, but he has written a letter. W hether this letter iito be considered as the greatest effort of his life must be determined by events, but it is certain ly a very great effort. The statesman sits in his study at Utica, and the ghosts of numberless dead issues rise before him . He sees "the government of the country paesing absolutely into the hands of those who so lately sought to destroy it ;" he sees the solid South mustering for "raids upon the. treasury, vast in amount and with out right or honeBty;" he sees the rifle clubs marching through the land, shooting down the innocent'and help less, the constitution torn in shreds and most frightful thought of all the seat of Senator ConkliDg occupied by a Democrat. No wonder this great man rises to an effort and writes a letter. 1 It is a very beautiful letter, full of charity and self-abnegation. Mr Conk ling has no claims, not he. He is noth ing but an 'umble worker in the vine yard, and his dear friend Cornell knows, if others do not, how false is the accusation that he ever thought of himself. The fact is, Mr Conkling is altogether too pure a patriot for these evil days, and how any New York Re publican can have the heart to oppose so truly good a man passes compre hension. And yet there seem to be a good many of them who are capable of such a thing enough, at least, to bring Mr Conkling's people down from their high horse. It had been determined to call no convention this fall, but to let theState committee, which isaConkhng organization, nominate the one candi date to be voted for. This was to keep the administration Republicans in their proper places, but the latter got togeth er and demanded a full convention. So niuch strength did they show, indeed, that Mr Cornell was alarmed and call ed this counter-conference, which has determined that the convention shall be held and that everything must be sacrified to harmony. What a shining virtue they have made of necessity ap pears m their resolutions. These are just as sweet as Mr Conkling's letter, but if Mr Cornell allows his people to go on in this way they may get up such a degree of harmony as will leave JWrConkling altogether out. Tluough to San Fiancisco. Atlanta Constitution, 30th. A day or two since a small boy, ap parently about eleven years of age, reached this city trom beneca (Jity, South Carolina, with the following placard hung around his ueck : This boy, iklwm 1) Smith, is bound for San Francisco consigned to bis father, R P Smith, Santa Kosa, California. Conductois on the line are especially requested to take him in charge while on their trains, and place him on proper trains at transfer points. Mis- through ticket - Atlanta to bin Francisco shows his route. " Keep him in the cars while in mo tion. On his arrival here he was taken in charge by Mr W J Houston, general passenger agent Atlanta and Charlotte Air-Line, and Mr Thomas Nnnanjgener al passenger agent Of the South-eastern railway These two gentlemen show ed much attention to the young travel er while here, and TELEGRAPDED TO THE VARIOUS AGENT8 of the lines ovef; which young Smith would travel to pay him similar atten tion so that the entire journey might be made without any delay or accident. When the boy reaches, his destination he will have traveled 3,000 miles a pretty good journey fot ,one of .hia years. ;. .. What Memphis Seeds Bfost, MemDhis is begging for more doc tors, and is not mueb benefited by the advice sent from a healthy distance The Louisville Journal says : The risk is erreat undoubtedly, but the heroic. distinction eaually great. It is better than seeking "bubble reputation at the cannon s mouth. " At any rate doctors are wanted, and not doctors' advice, and those who would brave the danger will win gratitude and honor. "Pistols and Coffee for Two." Monroe Enquirer. We learn that a party from South Carolina settled an "affair of honor" near the dividing line between. North and South Carolina in Anson county, one day last week. Two shots. apiece were exchanged, but no blood ..shed. Thd parties were a Mr Williams, of Camden, S C, and a eon of Genera Cash, of Chesterfield., .. i;- .-.in. After the second, shots, the affair was amicably settled ! and ; all left the grounds' as friends. p For upwards of thirty years Mrs Wins low' 8oothing Syrup has been used, lor children' It corrects acidity of the stomach, relieves 'wind colic, regulates the bowels, eorcf dyajentery - and ' d arrhoea, whether arhune from teething or . other canses. iAn f old land -Wfell-tried remedy; 25 cents per The Senatorship. Wilson Adyance.J We are astonished at, the. nosition taken by some newspapers and -their correspondents touching , .the coming election for United States Senator. They discuss the matter, as if there was no such thing in the Democratic party as organization, and talk about 70 Democratic members heine for Yance arid 80Tor Merrimon. just as if each faction intended to act oh its own hook leaving 1 ' the Radicals to . hold the balance of poWer 15 dictate the Sena tor as they did in 1872. Such a posi tion is in absurdity. No,, Democrit. elected to. theyX'egisla ture on the rega lar ticket has any idea , of bolting the Demo'cratib catiiCus, and there can be no question about the election of the Democratic nominee. -Then .whAt reasbn or serise can there be In discuss- mg' the probabilities,-of his or that Democrat cam ing ' Radical , votes.
