Flremilfft Clbrmtln- The Ball General Notet At theiconcluskm of the ceremonies peculiar td the celebration 6f the 20th, whk h endod withth4isbandingof the procession at Jndepjendence Square, the crowd of (Visitors in tbe city amused themselves in -a variety of ways. The most noteworthy) occurrence of the af ternoon .was'the. . BANQUET giventhelGovernor's JSnards by their hosts," the IJornets' . if est Riflemen, which began at 3 o'clock. The armory, which has' been- 'greatly improved recently,-Was elaborately decorated with festoons and ornamented; with pictures and flowers. ltoutflaTgeTables stood in the centra" of the roam. SsiarUted down with a happy mixture of uielicacies and substantials which taVlatdy friends of the members had taxed their knowledge of the art of cbokingf't& prepare. The dishes had been arranged with exquisite taste and the continuous line ef edibles was relieved by magnificent bouquets iPromptlylit the hour designated, the (Jovernor's Guards, and. some fifty or more invited guests assembled in the armory. The entire company were comfortably seated, and were .waite4 upon by the Horpets, Who spared noth ing for the comfort and entertainment of their guests. In a short time the lapping of champagne began, and with it, the festivity of the occasion. When the meal was nearly over the company grew impatient for toasts and speeches. There were loud calls for Gen. Taylor, who responded in an exceedingly happy speech, welcoming on the part of the State Guard, the gal lant company from Colombia. Capt. AVilie Jones was then called for and introduced Judge Crawford, of Columbia, an honorary member of the company, who responded in a brilliant and eloquent speech, delivered in an exceedingly effective manner, in the course of which he paid a handsome tribute to the soldiers of North Caro lina, and expressed himself as over powered by the kindness and hospitali ties of his hosts. Round after round of applause interrupted the speaker and greeted him at the close of the address. Capt. Harrison Watts gracefully re plied on the part pf his company, allud ing with special emphasis to the hand some manner in which the "company had been entertained by the Guards on the occasion of visits to Columbia, and expressing the hope that the ties of friendship which had been formed be tween the two companies might con tinue to grow stronger. Lt, Moss, IjftUft JI,.R's, also re spoiuled in tt'mtpw todnner to calls. This speech, was followed by others from Maj. W.W. Fleming, of the Grays, Gen. Jno. A. Young, Col. Worth and others, all of whom were applauded to the echo. The banquet? was prolonged to a late hour in the afternoon and was universally conceded. to have been the most successful affair of the kind ever had in Charlotte. The visitors, with one accord, expressed themselves as ' delighted, and the Hornets' Nest Rifle men received congratulations on .every hand. THE firemen's banquet. The Charlotte fire companies, the whole department, without regard to the prtty distinction of a difference in the name of companies, always celebrate the 2oth of May, and we may say that to their enthusiaism, if not real patriot ism, in a large measure is due a regular observance of this Gustom. 'It is al ways a festive occasion and this year was not an exception to the rule. Just idler night-fall the firemen and their friends, whose mane is legion, assem Wed in the armory of the Charlotte j-i'Hys, and a niagniheient supper and mprid refreshments were furnished for the inner man until late hours. Joy and fun ran high, and numerous speeches were made, all under the plea that the annual return of the 20th must be ob served, and the firemen were the beys to do it. THE BALL the Central Hotel at night was large ly attended and fully equalled its pre-' 'm'ssors. Fifty or more couples wre on the floor at one time, beside ' I'lrge number of spectators, and the ":'ndsome dressing of the -ladies with the showy uniforms of the soldieffire sfited a brilliant scene. The idancing was kept up with zeal until one o'clock with a slight cessation of the festivities, ti'aliuw the visiting soldiers to say j.'m1 i,yfj al-ttr wujci, the pleasures of " 'vening 'were resumed and pro-lr-M--led until a late hour ... , ; DKIWKTURE OF THE GUARDS.

Edmunds apoke at some length in uppusiuon so tne wu, arguing that the special deputies for 'which it provided f i? t erely ou of the control., it i,w?IP nave " vuui vd 'wre anotoer.' ine re sult would be several deputies of different parties, all practically mar shals in chief, and quarreling or liable to quarrel among themselves. Fur thermore, the bill did not specify the length of time that these special dep uties were to serve, nor define the pow er with which they were invested. There was nothing in the bill to indi cate that the special deputies for which it provided were to have the same pow ers as those conferred on special depu ties by the present law. After some few other remarks he of fered an amendment which he said would remove the objectionable feat ures of the bill which he had pointed out. The amendment, however, was rejected, and' the bill was read the third time and passed by a party vote of yeas 28 nays 17. The Senate then proceeded to consider the Legislative and ju dicial appropriation bill.

At 5:30, consideration of the bill hav ing been finished, it was read the third time and passed. Some discussion then took place upon the question whether the Senate should resume consideration of the Kellogg-Spofford resolutions or giye(preference to Morgan's resolution with regard to the presidential electoral count. The Senate, by a vote of 25 to 14, finally decided in favor of the latter. All the itemocrats , voted for taking up Morgan's resolution without reference to their attitude toward ' the Kellogg resolutions. The Senate then adjourned. House.

C, was taken from the Speaker's table and passed. The House then as the regular order Kroceeded to the consideration of the ills reported yesterday from the com mittee of the whole relative to public lands. The first bill to be considered was that relative to trespasses on pub lic lands.
