I A. rather slim crowd assembled at the court house to oonsider the road propositions yesterday and most of these were from Charlotte township. Capt. Sydenham B. Alexander was made chairman. v Miy ail plained the objects ihd tx&etiig sM submit ted to the house the draft of a bill for the Legislature authorizing the issue of $100,000 worth of bonoXat the rate of $25,000 per year. The nature of this bill has been published as hagplap that of Mr. Sctfcn J fther members of the board of aldermen, differing from the other only in favoring a direct tax of $22,000 a year instead of the bonds. (Jul. W. XI. Myers said he favored the proposition introduced by Mr'.' Vaill The other was impracticable as n an nual taxation was subject, to great caprice. Before the roads' could " be permaiently improved tt&papnej must be raised and the work not made liable to abandonment; before itwas fairly started, by the want of more funds. This tax was subject, he feared, to 'injunctions, as had been the case with the Alexander road, law. , . , . Mr. Grier KirkpaWok'bi.EroVidence, inquired if it was theught that $100,000 would, be enough to macadamize ,all,. tne roads oi MecKienourg. Dr. McAden thought the meeting should adjourn for ten days, to alio w further information oo.ibe subjects Col. II. C. Jones saitf that the appoint ment of a commissian might be liable to constitutional objection as the. con stitution of the State placed the admin istration of the roads and the county finances in the hands of the board of county commissioners. - Mr. Vail said he had for twenty: years been identified prominently with the rdad question. He was aware that the. necessity w as not appreciatecLbx the men who lived easily in town.. The man orftopdf the. temple'' saw -an ob ject below as small and trifling which appeared formidable to the man on the grounfl. In drafting the ! bill Jbefore lhe;mesetinr lie .was tiwareihat several points, hn4 to4 be gilaHed. TbeWU must be made to !beari equally - on till classes, especially as between the city and county. This had been the object of the bill, lie was not wedded to it. Give him something better aDd he would favor it. Col. Myers presented the following resolution which he offered the meet ing if they did not like Mr. Vail's bill. Resolved, That the great want of the people of the county of Mecklenburg and adjacent counties, doing business and trading in the" county towns of this county, is good public highways, and to this end that the present nuisance in the so-called public highways be con demned by closing for the distance of four miles on the highways entering the city, known as the Concord, the Providence, the Steel Creek and the Beattie's Ford roads, to the free use of the public; and that a joint stock com pany be incorporated with such powers in a charter to be enacted by the present Legislature, as will equally protect the trading public (and particularly the citizens of the county of Mecklenburg) as well as the corporators thereof ; the condemnation of said .-.highways,- to gether with the right of way over pri vate property, the establishment of toll gates, etc., with the necessary, right, of collecting tolls, shall ;bt. fiiy secnjdd to said corporation. Col. Myers accepted an amendment to this by Maj. Frank Coxe, making the distance to be condemned ten instead of four miles. Two other amendments to the reso lution .were offered by Maj. Coxe and accepted by Col. Myers : 1st. That the city of Charlotte be al lowed to subscribe to the stock f said company, and to issue bonds to run thirty years in payment of . said stock, at 0 per cent, per annum. 2d. That the charter of the stock com pany include the right to hire convicts from the State at, 30": peats, per diem, and aulBofilie and! direct the peniten tiary authorities to farm out for that purpose one hundred, convicts in the manner and mode as convicts are. hired to the Western North Carolina' Kail road Company. Col. H. C. Jones offered a further amendment, which Col. Myers -also ac cepted, that theounty -have the-ight to redeem ' thes macadamized toads f roni the stpfck company 6ate cofr(ple tionifcf every ten inilea.. XU si Mr. Hutchison offered this resehftiori for the consideration of the meeting: Resolved, That we, the citizens of Mecklenburg county, in convention as sembled, do hereby- request our repre sentatives to have the recent act of the Legislature repealing the special road law for Mecklenburg county (common ly known as the Alexander road law), declared null and toid, and that this special road law for Mecklenburg cbuil-' ty be re-enacted, with this amendment: that six instead of four days', labor be required of all persons ; subject to road duty. The meeting then went into the con sideration of all the propositus. , , Mr. McDowell favored a modification" of Mr. Scott's proposition. The people might revolt against the payment of in terest and siaking fund for thirty year bonds. An annual tax. less if necessary than the proposed $22,000, would be better as giving an opportunity to see: what we are doing as. we go on;;- There was no doubt that macadimijatioa was the" real plan. It was in use in other coun tries with good roads, and was too much cheaper than one would suppose. Sixty miles of roads leading into Balti more had been macadamised. at $1,100 a mile. We could not?, however? do it at once, not in ten years; the work must be gradual and progressive. The coun ty could, -not Afford, to. go t ik$100,000 at a lick.' As for the propbsiCfcm for H stock company the public would not submit to the condemnation of the old roads, and if they were not condemned the turnpikes would only be traveled in rrnorl weather. . .-.- i . Mr. E. O. DaVidson'suggested that the work, instead of being begun at the termini of Trade and Tryon streetsj as nronosed. should be commenced at the boundaries of the county and prosecu ted toward town. Col. Johnston favored something hpinrr dhnft far the rdads. lie thought, however, that as "the severity of the winter had been so much greater than usual and conseauentlv the roads so much worse that there was a disposi tion in m ton far. Mr. Scott's nrODOSi- tion was nearest the mark, but let the imnrovemeht be more gradual. v riid not like the nlan of arM nnintino a commission. tie-tnougBW r that a tax of $8,000 a year, which would Kniiri frtnr mil pa of road, was About the A. A wit-h Capt.

He favored another aw for working the joadi by taxation. Geo. Barrmzur tnen said neravorea any plan which- might succeed in im proving the roads. Something must be don and it was every man s duty to say what be thought of it. Individual considerations must not be allowed to interfere, and to accomplish anything there must be some trust placed in somebody. He himself had a propoei-t tion on the failure of the others bathe would go for either of them Gen. Bar ringer's remarks were in excellent spirit and were directed to the true dif ficulty in. the matterthe jealousies of city, county and different sections and the lack of patriotic concession and liberality. Mr. Vail stated that since consider ing Col. Myers' resolution he preferred it to his own proposition wduld rather be puiled out of the mud by Col Myers's wagon than by his own. GoL H. C. Jones favored Col. Myers's plan with the amendments. The only difficulty was to secure the subscrip tions to the stock: company. Col. Johnston moved that a commit tee of seven be appointed to consider the different prwpositions--wd report next Saturday"; when a full attendance from city and county is earnestly desir ed. . The motion was carried, and the following gentlemen appointed on the committee: Wm. Johnston, T. L. Vail, S. H. Hilton, It. Barringer ; J. M. Kirk patrick, Pinevilte; J. M. Hutchison; Query's ; J. W. Moore, Huntersville. . Several gentlemen expressed them selves as having gained many valuable ideas on this alt important subject from the discussions, and from the tone which prevailed there is evidently a disposition to make some practical ef forts towards good roads. The meet ing next Saturday will, it is hoped, be largely attended. There can be no doubt that the schemes will be thor oughly digested by the committee and something presented at that time which will meet the views of the people. Enforce It. The bill for prevention of cruelty to animals has, as has . been announced, passed the Legislature and is a law. It Erovides that "every person, who shall y his act or neglect maliciously maim; wound, injure, torture or cruelly beat iny horse, mule or ox, cattle, sheep or any-other animaL-sliall, upon convic tion, be deemed guilty, pf a misdemean or and punished oy a fine of fifty dol lars orimprisonment.or, thirty days." The law will pf course amdnnt to noth ing unless if is enforced. v There can' be no doubt that its enforcement will be very unpleasant to the officers for a while ulleast, as the large number of speaking brntes will consider it the vil est of outrages that they should be in terfered with for practicing brutality on their own property. But it is mere ly a question of time. They will soon become ued t it. A little firmness for a few months will educate them up to the recognition of the right of the law in the matter if not of the despica ble nature of their cruelty. ' Accident on Ibe Air-Line. The'lraiti'ifideh-" left Charlotte on the Air-Line yesterday morning at an early hour, jumped the track in a deep cut two miles beyondCowpensesulfcing in an impassable wreck, the extent of which it is impossible, akwiesent, to give. Nobbdy was hurt except the fire man on the engine, who was severely scalded by the escaping of steam. As a consequence of the wreck, the- run ning of the trains was entirely disar ranged, and none passed through over the road, either way, during the day. At a late, hour yesterday evening the scene exhibited a -blockade of three trains, the one due here at 3.30 yester day morning, the fast mail, aud one due at 6 o'clock yesterday evening. About 7 o'clock last night the passen gers of the several trains were trans ferred over the wreck 10 a train sent down from the Charlotte depot, and ar rived here about 9 oclock last evening after having been on the road from Atlanta, some of them, thirty hours. Those who came some distance report the road in a bad condition from land slides it having been found nec pssarv to stoD the train and shovel the dirt off the track repeatedly during the passage. Tbe New Charter The amended cliarter of the city of Charlotte was passed by the Legisla ture Friday. The principal charges are a provision for a term of two years for the mayor and board of aldermen, a provision forthe return of city proper ty and polls im' the same date as the county returns, and one separating the offices-of chiefVof police and city tax collector, which have heretofore been rilled by tne same inuiviauai. ui course, these amendments, or at least that ereating a two years lerm ana that as to the marshal, do not affect the nresent incumbents, but will become operative at next the election.- i i x i The amended cnaner is m i act a new charter, having been entirely re-wnt-ten, but the changes mentioned are the only ones of importance. It became necessary to re-wrne me cnaner so as o leave out. oia clauses as 10 quaimt-a-ionsof electors, etc., which were al ready inoperative under the present constitution of the State. The new charter is also much better and decid edly more satisfactory on many techni cal points, the mayor having been at much pains in its preparation, com par- ne it with charters 01 otner ciues, wi- ng more minute specifications as iu processes for collecting taxes and re quiring deliberation on proposed appro priations by the board. There is no provision ior wie wicu- sionof the corporation, this proposed amendment not having been approved by the board. Saint V alentine's Day. To-morrow will be Saint Valentine's day and the mails will be unusually heavy,inr tne young people on me alert with the expectation of receiving" pneor more kindly tokens 01 regara lrom friends of the opposite sex.

Another Com-rtct Die. Another convict died Thursday mor ning from the effects of injuries re ceived from the slide in the cut just beyond the big tunnel on the Western North Carolina Railroad. Seven oth ers are more or less injured. Both killed and injured are all colored ex cept one white guard, slightly hurt. An inquest over the bodies "was held Friday. A force of twenty were at work in the cut at the time of the slide and the whole number were bnried, but all except the four revived on being dug out. These facts are learned from the States ville Landmark. Three died on the day of the slide, it will be re membered. The unprecedented demand for Dr. Boll's Congb Syrup has bad the effect of bringing out nnmerous similar remedies; but the people are not so easily induced to make a trliU of the new article, when they value the old and reliable one Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.
