'SIXTH disTKICT:'"'
1 ... WALTER L. STEELE, . ;
'r; of Richmond.' 11 '
Election. Tuesday, November 5th;
; COMFORT FOR THE OFFICE-HOLDERS.
jnnocent and unsuspecting office
holders in this State, revenue collectors
and others, wh think that all their fellow-creatures
are as pure and sincere as
themselvesTwill be abl to derive a large
amount of comfort from the telegram
frbm Washington to the Baltimore
Sun printed in another column sayr
ing that Mr. Hayes, in conversation a
few rtavs asro with a North Carolina
Dolitician, told him that.there would be
i no changes in . federal offices in this
I State for the present. In order, how-
f ever, to keep them from becoming too
I comfortable, we find it necessary to re
j mind them of the fact that Mr. Hayes
f is a gentleman who occasionally
changes his mind. He changed it in re-
card to his civil service reform regula-
i firms and after makintr it up to sub-
S scribe handsomely the Republican cam
i paign fund, changed it again, and di dn'fr
f In fact, this is a world of change and the
h presidential mind shares the common
lot. It will not do to bank on, as alas!
f tdo many office-holders, who have been
! promised that they should not be dis-
tijirbed, and Sffice-seekers, who have
I been promised places, have found to
! their sorrow. We might harrow up
I the souls of the office-holders by sug-
. gesting that the President said what he
did to the importunate North Carolin
! ian in order to get rid of him, for even
Mr. Hayes is not entirely free from the
Vice of lying, and may even now be
saving the office which this fellow
wanted for one of the class yclept car-
pet-baggers, of whom he said, in ef
i feet, "none need apply." In fact this is
! one of the objections to Mr. Hayes ; he
I ' cannot be depended upon: while he
! gives the office-holder no satisfactory
S reasonsfor believing that he is secure,
I he gives the office-seeker no substantial
grounds for hope nor any reason for be-
l lieving that his case is wholly without
hope. True, he gives out his word to
do this or not to do that, but this is a
l hiatter of moonshine ; he likewise prom-
ised the campaign fund a big contribu-
tion, and what is still more important,
he promised the clerks in the depart
ments, and the other subordinate officers
f of the government, that they should not
I -be bled in order to meet campaign ex-
,-. penses. He lies first on one side and
then on the other, and there is never
any telling in advance o: which side he
f is going to lie next time.
A LEGEO
REPUBLICAN A.D
lALtHKU R.
INLEI'EXDEXT
;; The National Republican says:
;, The Charlotte Observer did not
dispose. of its old-time temper when it
. threw aside its old "dress," and conse
quently splutters about in its new type
iwith accustomed fury regarding the
possibility of a defeat of three Demo
Icratic candidates for Congress in North
: Carolina, as hinted in these columns not
long ago. It says among other furious
i(things:
, After this the Independent no matter by what
name called need not deny that he is la collusion
: with the Radicals. The Washington organ of the
party says he is, and while the ReptMuxm is not
; authority against the Democrats, it is good authority
against the Radicals and Brlndle Tails. If any Dem
ocrat has been thinking of voting this fall for any
other than the straight Democratic candidate for
: Congress let htm but remember that "the Republi
cans of North Carolina are confident of electing
mree memDers oi congress Dy a combination with
: Independents."
Ij We have no desire to enter into a con
i troversy with The Observer on this
j subject, but reproduce its frantic decla
ration simply to put it on record. It
:' will be handy to refer to next Novem-l-ber.,
. ..
I After keeping ice on its head for half
a day, and adopting other means of
cooling down from the frantic rage up
to which it had worked itself in giving
i utterance to the horrible sentences
; quoted on it above, The Observer,
even in its cooler' moments, can see no
' reason vhy it should recede from the
: position taken in the editorial, a part of
! which is quoted by The Republican. We
j therefore repeat : A vote cast in the
il pending election in North Carolina
j against a Democratic nominee is a vote
'j in favor of a llepublican. Why, cer
Itainly, buddy, put us on record; for
i fear you have made some mistake or
: other about it perhaps you had better
! put us on record again.
WAR HISTORY FOR YOU.
The Baltimore Gazette says:
A repor of the recent raid on illicit
distillers at South Mountain, North
Carolina leads the New York Heralds
Muscovite editor to say : fcThe echoes
of South Mountain's historic battle
field hast been again awakened by the
noise of the 1 combat ; This time the

mantic gaugers represent the legions of

The distance, ho wever, between Mary

This caption is misapplied, for the
reason that the convention iwhich was
called to meet here yesterday to nomi
nate a candidate in opposition to Col.
Steele, did not take place. Our local
columns furnish.particulars. The whole
thing was perfect fiasco. - The moun
tain -which has: ' been in labor has
brought forth not so much evenas-
ridiculous mouse, s -
Two "delegates" (self-appointed)
were present from Cabarrus, and one
from Robeson. Of the three two are
Republicans, in good and regular stand
ing in that party. The Democrats of
the district did not bite worth a cent at
the bait held out'to them, and the Rad
icals themselves were ashamed of the
game which they undertook to play. It
is a question whether the thing died of
inanition, or whether Coleman butch
ered it by directing a letter to the wrong
man. The chairman of the exocutive
committee of the party for Cabarrus
county said on the streets yesterday
that The Observer had plied the par
ty lash so vigorously as to have driven
back into the ranks all those Democrats
who would otherwise have come out
and joined in with the new party move
ment; but really the chairman does
The Observer too much honor. Un
less the project died of itself it was kill
ed by the blundering tactics of Holden's
Attorney-General. However good
Republican politician he may be, he has
proved himself a lamentable failure as
a Greenback manager. He not only
failed to beguile any Democrats from
their party allegiance, but he failed
even to arouse the enthusiasm of the
"fire-tried." There seems, after all, to
have been some mistake about "the Re
publicans (solid) of this section being
in favor of the movement," for Grand
ma Kerr was the only one from this
county who was on hand, yesterday ; if
"Gen. liarnnger, m Charlotte, was as
sisting," there were no outward or visi
ble signs of it.
Well, let us not be hard upon the
bantling of Mr. Coleman, upon Mr. Cole
man himself, or upon his colleagues.
Let the tiling be buried quietly, decently
and in order, and let this be inscribed
upon its tomb for an epitaph : "Steele
can be beaten easily."
Gov. Vance and Maj. Robbins are an
nounced to speak to-morrow at Reids
ville, Tuesday at Greensboro and Wed
nesday at Company Shops. A recent
severe family affliction will, however,
probably necessitate the annulling of
the appointments, so far as Gov. Vance
is concerned.

THE PAPER FOR THE WEST.

The Charlotte Observer recently
donned a new suit and now presents
quite the appearance of a Northern

of true Democratic principles in the
"great west," and as we are a "tenant"
in the same field of labor, we are grati
fied to see that it has been so very suc
cessful during the few past years. It
is the paper for all the piedmont and
the transmontane sections of the State
and it should receive a liberal patron
age. )
ALWAYS RANKED HIGH.
Wilson Advance.
We congratulate our able cotempor
ary, The Charlotte Observer, upon
the new and greatly improved appear
ance in which the paper appears. It is
now one of the handsomest papers in
the State, and has always been ranked
in point of ability with our most valued
exchanges. It comes clad in new gar
ments, but unchanged in its zealous de
fence of Democratic principles and its
patriotic devotion to the best interests
of the country, and we trust it may be
the recipient of that liberal patronage
which it well deserves.

The editor and proprietor has reason to
be proud of his success in bringing his
paper to the forefront of dailies. In
reviewing the history of The Observer
Col. Jones bestows worthy praise upon
Messrs. Caldwell and Chambers, his en
ergetic, able and versatile assistants.
Just as it should be. Success to all of
you, gentlemen, and your glorious en
terprise. FIRM AND STAUNCH, FREE AND FEAR

We tried to get in a notice of this ex
cellent paper last week, but failed. It
comes out in new dress "from tip to

appearance. It is one of the largest
dallies in the South ; the weekly issue is,
as it deserves to be, a great favorite in
sections not favored with daily mails :
politically it is as firm and staunch, as
free and fearless as any paper we read :
in all departments it is conducted with
marlced ability and intelligence. The
Observer is a favorite with us; and
we are sincerely glad to see it flourish
and prosper.

The Charlotte Observer comes
out in a bran new dress fall style, cut
in the latest fashion, with trimmings
to suit. Col. Jones loves his pet and takes
pains to adorn her in the handsomest
manner known to the typographical
art The Observer is the best Demo
cratic paper in the State, and on its side
well deserves its prosperity. Caldwell
and Chambers are live men, and on the
editorial staff of The Observer dis
tinguish themselves as first-class jour
nalists. The Observer reaches here
every morning at half-past six, so that
our citizens have the benefit of it as
soon as the people of Charlotte. As it
reaches here twenty-four hours earlier
than the Raleigh papers, we look for a
large increase in the number of sub
scribers in this locality to The Char
lotte Observer.
We wish" it great business prosperity,
and hope soon to see it ashamed of its
Democratic record.

Echoes of the Glasgow Bank Failure.
London, October 5. The report yes
terday, of the failure of a large ship
building firm in Glasgow, is confirmed,
but the name of the firm is not yet pub
lished though the liabilities are stated
at 60,000. Two and possibly three
other ship builders will fail.
It is rumored that Potter, one of the
directors of the City of Glasgow Bank,
is also a member of the firm of Potter,
Wilson & Co, which failed when the
bank closed doors and had large ad
vances from the broken bank. The
Bank of Mora, a local branch of the
City of Glasgow Bank in the Isle-of-Man,
held a million and a half to three
quarters dollars deposit, being about
all the spare money in the Island, and
many persons are left destitute.
The Times says : "There is reason to
hope that the deficit which the share
holders of the City of Glasgow Bank
must meet will not exceed ten million
dollars."
London, Oct 5. With a view to af
ford relief to the depositors as soon as
possible, a committee of the other
(Scotch banks is making arrangements
to pay ten shillings in the pound as soon
as the banks have ascertained that they
will be safe in making advances to that
extent.
The BulUonis.p announces that the
following were some of the advances
made by the cjty of Qlasgow Bank :
To Jas Wright, twp millions and a half ;
Wm. Scott, $765,000; J. Morton, nine
millions and a half j Wm. Kicol &on
Bombay, and Fleming & Co., Kurrachu,

Same was resumed at 1 1 riO. the Phila

fine and the attendance large. The in
terest felt however j Is hardly so intense

baseman of the Australians, sprained
a foot in catching on a railroad track,
and his place in the field had to 1)4 taken

The Fitness of Things.
New York Sun.
That Henry Ward Beecher should be
a Grant man is in perfect accordance
with the fitness of things. It is emi

preacher who ever stood in an Ameri

the re-election of the most corrupt Pre
sident who ever sat in the chair of
Washington.
A Word of Warning to Conuterfeiters.
The wide-spread fame of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters causes a necessity on our part to remind,
from time to time, whom It may concern, of the
fact that imitating said article is a punishable of
fence, and we now give this word of caution, that
we will most assuredly have all those persons en
gaged in re-filling our second-hand bottles, selling
by the gallon or barrel, or in any manner whatso
ever palming off on the public a spurious article
nrporting to be our preparation, punished to the
1 extent of the law. Penalty for counterfeiting,
or dealing in counterfeit trade mark goods, as set
forth In a law recently passed Dy Congress: "Fine
not exceeding $1,000, or imprisonment not more
than two years, or both such fine and Imprison
ment" We never fail to convict
Notice to Dealebs and Purchasers. Hostet
ter's Bitters are never, under any circumstances,
sold in bulk, but always in bottles, with a finely en
graved U. S. Internal Revenue (special proprietary)
Stamp covering the cork of each bottle, fastened
to both sides of the neck of same. All Bitters pur
porting to be Hostetter's, without this stamp, are
counterfeit Hobtetter & Smith.

Environed with Danger.
The dweller or temporary sojourner In a malari
ous region of country is environed with danger. Be
sides Inhaling at every breath an atmosphere sat
urated with an infectious poison, he also drinks
water which Is in most instances likewise Impreg
nated with the fever and ague breeding miasmata.
If a bilious subject, deficient in stamina, or irregu
lar in habit of body or indigestion, his peril Is much
increased, as these abnormal conditions are ex
tremely favorable to the contraction of malarial
disease. But this danger may be safely encounter
ed with the assistance of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which completely nullfies the atmospheric
virus, and neutralizes the constituents of miasma-'
tainted water. This benign antidote to disease
eradicates and prevents fevers of an intermittent
and bilious remittent type, besides effecting a
thorough and permanent reform of those enfeebled
or Irregular conditions of the system which invite
not only malaria, but other diseases equally to be
dreaded.
Two Noted Urave Robbers.
Our readers will remember the account ertven In
these columns of the robbing of the grave of the
Hon. Scott Harrison, in Ohio, last May. the body
being found in the dissecting room oi the Ohio
Medical college. Public indignation lastly brands
any man as a scoundrel who will rob the grave of
the dead. But there are two noted grave robbers
in the country, so far from being the subjects of
the people's wrath, are universally lauded for their
virtues. The reason is plain. While the former
class steal the dead bodies of our loved ones to sub
mit them to the dissecting knife, these only rob the
graves to restore the living victims to our hearts
