Sensations other than those connected with the coining' election are wnony unknown in Charlotte. , i It is said that at least five persons are threatening to come out for the" mayor alty besides those already in the field. The weather was a little too cold for spring clothes Sunday and the new dress was laid'; away for tmother fweek. The ladies' memorial association have about completed their programme far the 10th of May. , It will probably be announced to-morrow. The young ladies of the Busy Bee So ciety will give an entertainment in Col. J. Y. Bryce's yard, on Saturday, the 3d of May, in the afternoon. The Templeton troupe, who visited Charlotte the first of the theatrical season, speak of returning to see us in a few weeks. They are now in the South. t . . ' itevenne Tai Collector. Attention is again called to the fact that the internal revenue tax year ex pires the 1st day of May, and all licenses .must be renewed by that time. For the convenience and accommodation, of 'dealers in such articles as-are taxed un der the revenue law, the collector of the district will have a representative in Charlotte on the 29th and 30th of the present month' to ' issue licenses.; His headquarters will be at the Traders' National Bank, 'where he will be found constantly during business hours. from 4.ttA ftimat ci ty committed, having reported favora ply on the proposition, the board, on g.otion, authorized the tranafer to J. A. lxby of a certain lot fn Fiimm etery formerly the property; of the late f rt???ufB?? presented a bill viuj B jiiujwiuou or me cost of the new pavement in front of the post office, this Dronortion hainir ana a r Hnotion of Alderman Dowd the bill was uiucicu w uo pitlO. A. Siler presented a bill of $200 for Street work, f" On mnKAn Af A i, Walker it was referred to t.h t.ret committee with power to act. A similar bill, presented by Alder man Nisbet in favor of Mrs. Neisler was, on motion, ordered to be paid. The question of allowing the swing ing of sighs across the streets was brought up, the mayor stating that Messrs. E. D. Latta & Bro., whose swinging sign was lately ordered to be taken down, were willing to pay $50 Eer annum far the privilege of restor ig it f . : Aldef man ? Dowd moved that chapter 2, section 10, of the city ordinances be amended so as to provide that "it shall not be lawful for any person to erect or put any sign wood, metal, cloth or ortherwise -across the sidewalks or streets of Charlotte, or to continue to keep up thcise already' erected, except' upon" terms and for a - license to -be agreed upon between the person and the board of aldermen." . On motion of Alderman Walker the rules were suspended and the amend ment (embraced in the above words from "except" to "aldermen," inclusive was . put upon and passed its several readings. -!.,; r Messrs.' Latta were then, upon ' mo tion, granted a license for $50, to suspend their former sign, for one year, across Tryon street in front of their place of business. Qlt was explained that the $100 appro propriated by the board was not suffi cient by $75 to meet the expense of publishing tjhe proceedings of the con vention of Northern settlers held in this city in January last, and that a part of the expense was yet to be met, by reason of the fact that the railroad companies which had been expected to bear a share, had failed to respond. Alderman Dowd addressed the board, suggesting that it make an appropria tion sufficient to meet the balance due. The community, he held, was morally bound in the premises, and to pay the residue was the only equitable course. On motion of Alderman Sanders, an order was made for the payment of the money yet due on the books. On motion, a committee consisting of the mayor and Aldermen Sanders and Mofre was appointed to confer with the ward 'of county commissioners and ask tnera to snare the debt. The city clerk and treasurer present ed his statement of the city's receipts and disbursements from May 10th, 1878, to April 15th, 1879, accompanied by vouchers, &c. On motion of Alderman Scott the statement was referred to the finance committee, with instructions to report to the mayor, with the understanding that the statement will in due time be ALDEBHAN1C TICKET. II. T. Butler for Be-Election. To the Editor of The Observer; We' beg leave to suggest the name of Mr. IL T. Butler as a suitable person to hold his present position upon the board of aldermen.

Bobbins, ex-member of Congress from the seventh district, re sident in Statesville, has accepted the invitation to deliver the annual address on the occasion of the 20th of May cele bration. The selection of Mr. Bobbins is an excellent one in all respects. As an eloquent and engaging speaker he has few equals in the State, and will add greatly to the interest of the occa sion. It is hoped to induce other dis tinguished speakers who may be present on tne occasion to deliver addresses on the night of the 20th. No Convention. It was thought yesterday and gener ally reported throughout the day, not withstanding the revocation of the call for a convention at the court house last night, that an effort would be made to hold one there, on the subject of the mayoralty, but by whom nobody seemed to know. As a result of the report a good many citizens came up-town, but no one ventured to open the door or to ring the bell announcing the meeting, and in about an hour almost everybody went home leaving the question of the mayoralty in statu quo. This morning, however, there is another shuffling of the cards and the name of CoL Jno. . Brown is officially announced as a can didate. What will another day bring forth?

Rlchanottd Ac aVaavrUle Railroad Stock Rising and the Canoe Thereof. The Danville News gives the follow ing as the cause of the recent increase in the price of Richmond & Danville R. K. stock which it assures us has gone up some three hundred per cent within the last six months : The road bed is in far better condition now than ever before. Much f the track has been laid with heavy rail, and a large part of it steel. The company has, in a great measure, paid for this improvement out of its net earnings ; at the same time its float ing debt has been almost entirely ex tinguished, and it is no longer a heavy borrower at high rates of interest. Some months ago, at a comparatively small cost, it secured a controlling in terest in the stock of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, which rives it a continuous line from Rich- 0 - 1 i a rf-t mi . fi-s mond to AUgusra, ua. ine eKuem branch, which for years was a loss, has now become profitable. The connec tions are generally working well and satisfactorily. Instead of one passen ger train a day, each way, or two at a loss, it now runs two paying passenger trains daily, each way, over its entire throucrh connections; and whereas it could hardly support two freight trains each way daily, it now runs both ways, from eight to ten loaded freight trains daily, with comparatively slight addi tional cost, with the prospect of a great ly increased business, resulting from the growing confidence that has now fairly set in all over the country. Another new and important feature in the recent sales of this stock is, much the larger portion of the sales have been made to the agents and employes of the road. Many of them are investing all their surplus earnings in the stock of the company. it. i fixnftcted ir no unioreseen acci dent occurs to prevent, that the next annual report wul show a great change over the one last December, and some persons well acquainted with the offi cers of the company think it can pay a dividend pf at least fwo per cent in less than two yearsnd an increasednmount regularly thereafter. Should this be true, the stock will doubtless go higher than at any time since , the war. The company through the temporary aid of the Pennsylvania Railroad company was able to gee mrougu me panic of the past severafyears, without making any sacrifices and therefore now holds nearly all of the securities it ac quired in its days 01 expansion. Tne most economic" a--" The H. N. B, ana the Colombia Trip. A letter was received by the Hornets' Nest Riflemen yesterday from Capt Hugh S. Thompson, representing the Columbia military companies, inform ing the H. N. R. that the time for the unveiling of the Confederate monu ment in that city had been postponed from the 10th of May till the 13th, and asking the company to change the time of their visit in accordance therewith. It was at first thought the postpone ment would prevent the company from going, for the reason that many of the members are only able to be absent on holidays (such as the 10th) but at a meet ing last night it was decided to go any way, with the expectation, however, that the number of men would be con siderably diminished by the postponement.
