It is The Ob server's custom, to. honor ! the 20th of day and by participating ita; low -citizens in the general festivities of the occasion. It will observe' this cus torn to-day and. as a consequence no paper will be issued from this office to- morrow. THE 20TH OF MV. We ' witness another recurrence of the natal day of American liberty. One hundred and four years ago to-day the forefathers of our people struck the first blow in the contest which after-j wards resulted in securing to us of this dav the freedom which we ;npw enjoy ; and it is well that the memories of those men, and of the event which has made their names illustrious, are still kept green by their progeny. It is well, because it is always to the -credit of a people that they respect their tradi tions and their history: ; but these annual celebrations Dossess even a deeper significance than this: they argue well for the perpetuity of repub lican institutions; for if the patriotism of men slows afresh on the plains of Marathon, and .their religious faith growsstronger in the shadows of the temples of Ion, it is easy to be seen how the hearts of a free-born people must beat faster when they are brought face to face with the memories of an event such ks that which we celebrate to-day That we celebrate it argues that we reverence it. and that we reverence it proves that we value and appreciate the fruits whjch it has urought us. So may we ever continue to do, for thus can we best prove our worthiness to enjoy the liberty which our ancestors at so much cost worked out for themselves and for us. We add to the above that it is a ful sign that the observance of the-20th" cf -May has, year by year, for-many years past, grown ju importance -in th minds of our -people.' Without a prior interest in the day and the deejjL, which it commemorates, we coma never nave shown up in a : centennial jcelebraticn equal to that with which we astonished our neighbors and .our. owSTselvesin 1875. And it is a no less hopeful sign that our interest in the day, instead of lagging after that event, seems rather to have been increased by it, and that with each recurring year, the minds of our people revert to the patriots of '5 and fresh honors are done their memo , rie3 with the return of each 20th of May. '1 ; The Celebration of to-iliiy Swill be of a m irked and conspicuous character. Npt that it will equal, in any particu lar, in pomp or ceremony, the centen nial celebration of the Mecklenburg ' Declaration, but in that it will be, with that single exception, the inost largely attended and in all respecta most nota ble celebration of that event. Of them selves the people of Charlotte could hot have given to the celebration of to-day such a chRFaeter-ra-it wirrjbear. This marks the awkenipg of an interest in the day" throughout $hej entire t State. . The day has, as it should long ago have done, lost much of its distinctive local character, and the whole people of North Carolina are realizing the fact that this is Iheir day. Hence, the yearly increasing disposition, especially noticeable this year, to make common , cause in this celebration, and to regard the Mecklenburg -Declaration of Inde pendence as au essential part not of local but of State history. . It is this growth of public sentiment with reference $0 the day which has warranted the extensive preparations which have been made for this cele bration. "A - distinguished citizen of another town hsts been invited to pro nounce the oration, "with the full on fidence that hie will not have to cdnlent : himself with an audience of ChajTotte iind' Mecklenburg' people. The sequel w'illi prove that" this conjidence was wjlr; founded; he will number among his3uditors representatives of scores of different jgpunties of our own State, and notnlyiso but even of other States. It is on to bid sill of these people a cordial welcome to Charlotte: first, the honored chief executive officer of our Sa6e, whose courage, patriotism and unswerving integrity hav won him mapy admirers among the sturdy peo ple of Mecklenburg; next, the orator of the day, whose fidelity to his people, whose high talents and thrilling elo quence have made his n&me familiar to feaiy ear; jiexV the other 'distinguished gentlemen who will-be the city's guests on this occasion ; and not less cordially than these our . other, visitors, tfrom our own and neighboVlnte States, W -vited and unin vUdT-o-tbese-ire ftml all we ex;end.r lieuty ljetihg, with tne tenaer 01 tne 1 reeaom and hospital ity of the proud and pretty , little city which claims the honor of the title tf the Cradle of American Liberty A lengthy letter from WfUbjngton to the Philadelphia Tiines states that the administration is bolstering!1 tip'the Sec retary of the Treasury for the presi dential' race 'next year, "and that the Grant managers are beebmfntr alarmed.

A NEW NATIONAL TICIET. The reader will be much struck by a communicated article in to-day's Ob server recommending as the national Democratic ticket in 1880, Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, and Sandford E. Church, of New York. This paper, as its readers, know, has committed itself to no ticket for the next national strug gle, Inor will it do so at present. A vear will elapse before the national Democratic convention makes its nom ination and many things may occur between this time apd that to strike down and raise up tnen. At present, however, it can be Said that the ticket suggested by our correspondents, is an other addition to the list of good and available men who have been men tioned in this connection. All that is said of Mr. Hendricks is true; he can easily carry Indiana ; all that is said of Judge Church is likewise true; he can at any time cany New York, if we may judge from the past and from what may be learned of him through j the medium of popular communication. the press. , There is no great i'aClcTot 'men dlH sues upon which we can tier eat the lie puWican party -next year. Two of the; Issues are suggested in this correspond ence nnd three of the men Tilden, Thurman and Ifendrieks. BRIEF KEWS IT AiS. The Moffett bell punch bill has Leen defeated in the"Missouri Senate.

Soon after the waf Chief Justice Pearson took the rooms occupied by that officer, and threw out in the rotund&of the capitol an mese ana oiner. valuable documents. By the hasty and thoughtless act the poor pensioners are the sufferers. The records of the war of 1812 ate broken up ana wen nign worthless. The loss is a heavy one to the State and the poor old pensioners. Day after day letters come in to tne Auditor , asking lor data as to the service of soldiers in that war. Most of these cannot be furnished, and thus the people are kept out of money properly due them.
