Double Postal Card and lotiirn Let

It seem that we are are not to have
the double postal cards and return letter
envelopes about which so much was
published a few months ago. The par
ties who got up the .designs have had
them patented, and as the postal card
system doesn't pay any way, the post
otlice department" hasn't seen (it to go
to the, expense of getting hold of the
p atents. 1 lie rostmaster-iJeneral does
n t regard the double letter envelopes
out; of the least practical utility, and
lie has therefore taken no steps to in
l rod i ice them.

Bishop Hood, of tbe Colored Metho
dist church, Writing Letters to Local
Politician The President who will
Divide the Offices.
Ever since the meeting of the Repub
lican State executive committee in Ral
eigh, and the appointment of a Sher
man delegation to the Chicago conven
tion, the colored Republicans in this
city and county have been manifest
ing dissatisfaction, and many of the
more intelligent of them have publicly
avowed their determination to resist to
the bitter end the scheme to give over
the State to Sherman. So strong was
this opposition that it was resolved to
hold a public meeting in the city Thurs
day night and protest against this ac
tion, but before the meeting was to
have been held, it was announced that
the project had been postponed for the
present. It was suggested that this
sudden quietus upon the popular indig
nation was due to the influence of Slier
man agents, and true enough it was
found on investigation that a smart
colored man named Lynn, from Wil
mington, had arrived in the city and
was actively engaged among the color
ed people in allaying the opposition to
Sherman. He met with violent oppo
sition at first, but finally it was agreed
among the leaders to postpone the
meeting for the present to see, as some
expressed it, how the cat was hopping.
But a curious fact in connection with
Lynn is that he was in the citv only a
few weeks ago, at which time "he was
warmly advocating the claims of Gen.
Grant. The change is attributed to the
influence of W. V. Cannady and the
agents of Sherman, who are undoubted
ly employing every means to turn the
tide of popular favor towards the secre
tary of the treasury.
We are prepared this morning to show
some of the means that are employed
in his behalf. Yesterday The Obser
ver came into possession of the follow
ing letter, which is among the most im
portant publications that have been
made in connection with the schemes
used by Republican candidates for the
presidency to secure the nomination.
The author is Bishop Hood, probably the
most prominent colored preacher in the
Southern States, and it is addressed to
two of the most prominent colored men
in this city. The names are withheld
for reasons which need not be given.
The letter is given in full and speaks
for itself:
Wilmington, X. C, Feb. ll,tlSS0.
Brethren I understand that there
is to be a meeting held in Charlotte to
morrow night for the purpose of de
nouncing Sherman.
will
If such is the case, I hope you
not take any part in said meeting.
You can depend on Sherman's word.
Ilfi promises to divide the offices equal
ly between white and colored Repub
licans. He has always been true to our cause.
I have not time. to say more.
Yours, in haste,
J. W. Hood.
Inquest After Burial.
The coroner having arrived yesterday
the inquest in the case of Henry Young,
the negro who was killed on the Char
lotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad
Tuesday evening and buried Thursday,
will take place to-morrow at 10 o'clock,
when the body will be disinterred. The
inquest is desired by the railroad au
thorities particularly, with a view to
relieving them of any blame in the
manner of Young's death.
Store Found Open.
Policeman Hill, night before last
about 12 o'clock, found the door of E.'
II. White's store, on the corner of
Fourth and Church streets, wide open.
He called at Mr. White's house amd
aroused him. An examination was made
but nothing was missing from the store.
Mr. AVhite thought that the bolt had
caught when he closed up the night be
fore, but was mistaken.
Parties to the (iunpowder Plot.
Jim Boyd, a negro boy who some time
ago was put in jail on the vagrant act
and detained for implication in the
powder stealing from A. R. Nisbet &
Bio., had a hearing yesterday before
Justice McNinch, and on the testimony
of Jim Harrison, who was himself, as
noticed yesterday, brought from Co
lumbia and committed on the same
charge, was recommitted in default of
8150 bail. Harrison swore that Jim
Boyd had confessed to him that he had
helped another negro to carry five kegs
of powder to the depot. Harrison was
also recommitted in default of 875 bail.
Revenue Seizure.
Deputy Collector Young yesterday
seized two boxes of tobacco belonging
to R. H. Stanley, of Guilford, county for
violation of the internal revenue laws
by re-using stamps. The property will
be forfeited to the United States gov
ernment and sold. Collector Young al
so detained fifty boxes of tobacco be
longing to parties in the fifth and sixth
districts, which are hell for explanation
being improperly stamped.
A few days ago, revenue officers seiz
ed in Cleaveland county, a wagon, two
mules and harness, 70 gallons of whis
key and one box of tobacco, belonging
to Peeler & Allen, R. E. Espie-and R. E.
Ellis, all of which will be confiscated
to the government and is now adver
tised for sale. We understand the par
ties were arrested.
The Entertainment at the Institute
Last Nifflit.
The entertainment at the Female In
stitute last night was not very well at
tended, in consequence of the rain and
tire uncertainty as to whether or not it
would come of, but those who were
there were amply repaid for defying
the weather. The musical part of the
entertainment, under the direction of
Dr. Bidez, was in every respect excel
lent. The execution of Miss K. John
ston, of Rock Hill, in the piano solo,
"The Cascade," was faultless, and Miss
Gregory in the vocal waltz, "Bliss all
Rapturous, Past Excelling," was loudly
and deservedly encored.
The tableaux "Sleeping Beauty," "Lit
tle Red Ridiner Hood." "Pride of the
Harem," and others, were most life-like
and picturesque, but the charm of the
evening was twenty bright eyed, rosy
cheeked girls, in a dress of white illu
sion and blue sashes, teaching the au
dience the poetry of motion by the per
formance of their calisthenic exer
cises. They were accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. Atkinson, and their cor
rectness of time and gracefulness of
motion excited for the fairies the en
thusiastic admiration of the audience.
It was with much regret that the re
porter was compelled to leave when the
entertainment was hardly half over,
arid especially as one or two names
were observed on the remainder of the
programme of the music, from whom
much was confidently expected.
The Western North Carolina Railroad
Question.
It is learned from a prominent gen
tleman who was present at the recent
meeting of the board of directors of the
Western North Carolina Railroad, in
Raleigh, that the calling of the special
session of the Legislature is by no
means yet settled in the negative.
Gov. Jarvis, though still undecided, is
yet very much inclined to the session
and feels that in calling it he would
have ample support in the voice of our
delegation in Congress, and the division
on the .question before the board. He,
however, the gentleman states, waits
for further consideration and some ex
pression from the press, as to whether
Mr. Best will, if this proposition is not
acted on at once, make still another as
was reported probable in the Raleigh
News of Thursday. He expresses no
opinion, but he does think that as with
every mile of road that is built in the
direction of Paint Rock, attention be
comes more and more attracted to the
road as an Eastern and Western con
nection, and as there are four or five
railroad companies in the States of
North and South Carolina and Tennes
see which are even now anxiously seek
ing such a connection across the moun
tains, which they are bound to have,
and furthermore.as ours is not only the
shortest but the nearest completed, that
by deferring any action until the regu
lar session, aside from the advantage of
thorough discussion, the State would
have by that time several other bidders,
and thus secure all the advantage of
competition in selling.
The gentleman stated that it was
somewhat singular that all the West
ern men he met in Raleigh were in
favor of selling the road, while Eastern
men opposed it. Heretofore opposition
to the annual appropriations to the
road has come from the East.
These statements conie from one
who is authority in railroad matters
and who had every opportunity of see
ing how matters stood in Raleigh.
