Pursuant to a call of the executive committee, of the Prohibition Associa tion, a large number of the citizens of Charlotte assembled in the court house, last night, to discuss the matter of rati fying the nominations for mayor and aldermen, submitted for the considera tion of the people, at the approach ing municipal election. At 8L25 Capt T. L. Vail, chairman of the Prohibition Association called the meeting to order, and announced ".the object of the con vention. The gentleman who lastacted as secretary being absent, on motion Chas. R. Jones, ot The Observer was elected to that position. CoL H. C. Jones as chairman of the executive committee in a short, but forcible speech reported that after due deliberation and Consultation, the com mittee had decided to recommend to the people of Charlotte the Hon. F. S. De Wolfe, for mayor. aldermen. First WardQ. Scott, C. A. Frazier in titsii-- i . Second W ara John m Brown. Wm. Houser, and A. P. Hunter. Third Ward D. VV. Oates, H. Ed wards and A. W. Calvin.

Uauuuevvone, irre nominee lor re election as mayor, being present, was called for, and came forward amid con siderable applause, lie returned nis thanks for the nomination, and adopt ing the language of what he called the whisky canaiaate accepted tne posi tion which "your partiality assigns me." He put himself on the straight out prohibition platform. It was the greatest issue before the country ,and its victims nad nuea necatomDs oi graves He courted investigation into his pub lic acts, as well as his private virtues, both of which might not De witnout fault, but he had the courage and the manliness as well as the independence to put himself in the forefront of re form when called upon to do so by his fellow-citizens. Referring to the large number of colored people who had given aid and -encouragement to the movement he said that they were more largely interested in the movement for reform on the great question at issue than anybody else, because in propor tion to the money earned, more money was spent by them for liquor than for anything else. He had no sympathy with that arithmetic which asserted that taxes would be raised if the bar rooms were closed, because there was hardly a colored man who could not to the population, than" he had ever seen and he had traveled in every fetate of the Union except thrte,, bnt thank God the time had come for the good people to rise and put it down,paralyze oureneniies and ran them into their holes.

Chas. R. Jones, Gen. E. D.Johnston, GeoE. "Wilson, Esq., Capt John Wilkes. J5. K. P.' Osborne and A. W. Calvin, colored, in the order named, also sub mitted seme remarks, and the meeting adjourned. The AMU-PreliibitUnist. It was about half-past 8 o'clock when a crowd of colored men, headed by the colored brass band, marched up to the square last night to the music of drums. up w tui lime it Bocmeu. bui vui. Johnston would not have a laTge crowd to bear him, but it gradually increased until several hundred had assembled. The proportion of blacks, to whites present at the square during the deliv ery of the greater portion of the speech was probably f dur to one, the whites in creasing considerably towards the last When Col. Johnston took the stand near the northwest lamp-post in re sponse to calls, he said he was the can didate of no clique, or sect but in this contest represented the rights of the Eeople. He then went on to say that e favored the water works, an exten sive system of sewerage, and economy in the administration of the city gov ernment. "Finally, fellow-citizens," said he, fcI am honestly and candidly opposed to prohibition and to the prohibition law passed by the late Legislature." He then proceeded to argue the case from what was described as its moral aspect He said, however, that the law was-an odious ene ; it was wrong in principle and would not Droduce prohibition. He did not wish to be understood as oppos- - - 1 L 1 J J 4. ing temperance, dus ne uiu oppose i m the form in which it was presented here. Extinguish the trade and yu would throw from 40,000 to 80,000 per sons engaged in the business and de pendent upon it for support, upon the world, poverty stricken. The law was not such as the judgment of the Legis lators approved, but they had an ele phant on their hands and took this as a means of disposing of him.

Atanotuer ume ne would sneak, when the other candidates Would be asked tb take part in the dis cussion. This was understood to mean that Mr McNinch would also be a candidate. The crowd wouldn t disperse, and the gathering was broken up in a remarka ble manner. A pitiable, emaciated, soiled looking man, a well-known Blave to- intemperance in its worst forms, ! mounted the stand in a half -intoxicated Condition, and proceeded to harangue, the crowd, which responded with jeers and laughter, until a colored man jerked the box from under him, and fled amid some excitement pursued by several young men.

Here in Aueusta we cannot now see how we could well get along- without the telephone, . as it ranks among the leading institutions of the city, and we are sure if the good people or Charlotte consent to have it remov ed from that place they will soon re gret it" A Train on Fire. A3 the freight train on the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, was ap proaching the city about ten o'clock yesterday morning, a flat car loaded with wood was discovered to be on fire from a spark which had fallen on it from the engine and been fanned into a blaze by a nigh wind which was blow ing at the time. The flames had at tained alarmimr nronortions before the train could be stopped and tne car naa. to be cut loose to keep the whole train irom Deinz itmited. This 1 J 1 - A. Say nis additional taxes wiui wnat uve rinks of whisky cost him. The prohi bition neoDle were to be met by foes within and foes without whisky men at home and whisky men without the State. In fact the whisky men were together and it would take earnest hard work to win. He closed by again thankiag his audience, and asking them for their earnest and unstinted support (lie closed amid tumultous applause.) , Joua oalis were maue ior kajlo.x. Thbmas, who rose and responded to the demand. He made a capital speech, which The Observer representative will not attempt to report, owing to the lateness of the hour at which this report is necessarily written altnougn copious notes of it were taken, but we cannot overlook a rew oi uis saueut points. He said that it was known that the nominee of the convention was not his choice, but after having heard Mayor De Wolfe's speech, he de ferred with grace ana coraiaiiiy to tne expressed wish of the convention ; he hoped that the candidate put forward as tne Dearer oi tne rroniuiuoii uauuer would"beard the lion in his den as well as the "Douzlas in the hall be a new Marmion to lead the people to victory. The question before the people was op posed by two or the great nuxnan levers avarice and poaucai amuiuon. Strong men, and natural leaders of the people were noiaing memseives uhuh. because they had not yet decided which which way the wind was going to blow. He referred to the question of increas ed taxation if the "prohibition move ment were to prevail, and answered in tbfe languago'of iGiad8tone that "when it came to a question between the morals and the- nappiness, and both were to be weighed; in the balance against money perish, the money." He referred to the position taken by Sena tor Bayard, and declared that it was thesmall end" of the politician that nrPAAnred itself. He said science had demonstrated that alcohol contained a poison that freezes the vital principle and paralyzes the faculties of the man. Col. Thomas was frequently applauded, but when he refn ed to the pigmy movement then taking pJaee on the public square, in; favyr of the liquor question the court house rung'with the wildest of cheers. ; ' Hon. R. Y. Mc Aden, was next called for and sain he was struck with the fact that the peoplt- of Charlotte wei en gaged in haldingl'yo rtjsetings-oiie on the square and oae in the courthouse both having opposing objects. He would like lb see the two meetings com pared. The nieetlJi which he was now addressing aU Tromihate4 a ticket wnlcn tne peopieor unanoiw weie uut, ashamed ofand the tick was not asham pd of the people who were expected to snrmort it "ManV Citizens" had pot ores sea forward candidate who asked re cognition at pe h.anas oi uii3 conven tion, but "many citizens" had pressed one candidate. out and he wanted to know whether he was the grogshop candidate or not He rererrea iq tne question of. taxation, and claimed that mne-tentnsoi inecouuiycA'a S incurred for the enforcement of the laws. Because this was so, shquld we refuse to continue to try law-oreaaers. The people, were asked to continue to license the rroe-shops. when if it were was unwise ana impracucauie ana ne would fight it till the August election wherever he was invited to speak. He said furthermore that Senator Bayard had doubted the constitutionality of such laws and ex-Senator Merrimon of this State had expressed the opinion that the present law was unconstitu tional, although himself a strong pro hibitionist "I tell you my friends," continued the 1 4. i tUj. n W n Iaa.oa anil spGaJLcr, lli 13 IUO xtuu xuau a uwuoo auu the poor man's prohibition." He then proceeded to argue this point by saying that this law and no other that could be passed would 'prevent a man who was able to bring whiskey from another State from doing so in any quantities, but the poor man who could not do this must buy it from those who under the law were allowed to sell it, and he had figured it out that with the physicians prescription and all it would cost him about 40' cents a drink not the pure stuff either, but that red-oak bark kind, warranted to kill a hundred yards. "If there is to be prohibition," said he, "let it be all over the United States." The law is cruel, continued the speaker. A man can't sell his neighbor a pint of whiskev. although his family maybe bound to have it in cases of sickness, or if he did, he must be fined a $1,000 and imprisoned at the discretion of the court, it might be for life. There would be no tears shed, said he, for the women and children whose husbands and fathers had been driven out of this busi ness, honest and authorized by the State, and left without a means of livelihood. The law might protect rich young men who had been allowed to roam around on the streets, with money to spend, but in doing so it would bring hardships upon another class. These already paid six licenses and were now actually rob bed of their earnings. Here the speaker was interrupted by some one whispering in his ear, and when he arose to proceed, he said he had just heard from a gentleman who had been a commissioner, from Brook lyn, that when it was prohibited there, crime had increased fifteen per cent This was what the reporter under stood, though at this point the speaker's veice was indistinct.j ne tuen pro ceeded to ridicule "the drug-store, 30 galion feature of- -tQe bill, andsubse- S; lently proceeded to argue thtprohi tion would' injure Cnarlotte's busi ness. In proof pf this he said that in the revenue service, -Dr. Mbtt? Jias'em ployed about 250. men; who received $225,000, scattering this sum through out the country so that much of It was received and spentliere. The. vmpn u facture of , whiskey was tin extensive business in the western' part of the State, from necessity, the poor farmers being unable to dispose proQiaoiy or their corn and' rye In any other way. All of the revenue from thi3 source: would be lost Besides, the law could not be enforced.' Fos To art een years Uie government bad attempted to pre- vent a-vioiauoii oi iuc hccudc ojmicui without complete-saccess. : The speaker then read a statement from tho president' of the AVestein Brewers' Association to show that in Maine, since the liquor law had been in existence, crime of all sort had in creased, as also had lunacy; the popu lation had diminished, and of the crim inals only one in eleven were paupers. He then said that nearly half of the liquor tax went to the educational fund, and asked his auditors if they morn wi llincr for that to be taken from the schools, at whch there was, - as kat numerous other pointof his speech, enthusiastic applause, most ly from the colored people. He argued that the 63 million dollars which the government now received from taxes on whiskey would have to be borne by the people oh their property. He then said that it was a well known fact that people wanted that which they were prohibited irom naving, ana c5 ted the example of Mother Eve. Hi this connection, he said that the crimes for which most of the inmates of our penitentiaries were punisnea were ior- Mecklen bnrga Debt SUtfemen U Mecklenburg county is free of debt with the exception of a bonded one of $300,000, contracted to aid in the con struction of railroads. This includes $200,000 subscribed to the Atlanta and Charlotte Air-Line and $100,000 to the Statesville road, towards the payment of which nothing has been done except keeping down the interest which ac crues at the rate of 7 per cent All her other debts have been paid off and the monthly and annual expenses are liqui dated as they arise.. Proceeding ot ihe FleeKlenbnrg Pres bytery. The spring session of Mecklenburg Presbytery, which convened at Hun tersville last Thursday, adjourned Sat urday afternoon, though the Charlotte delegates did not arrive home until yesterday morning. The meeting was organized by the election of Rev. Dr. J. F. Latimer, ef Davidson College, mod erator, and Mr. T. J. Summey, of Ashe ville, secretary. A revision was made of the questions to be answered by the church sessions in their reports to the Presbytery of their condition. Revs. S. Taylor Martin and E. H. Harding were elected ministerial dele gates to the General Assembly, and Ruling Elders W. H. Fitzgerald and J. C. McLauchlin the lay delegates. Messrs. W. S. Moore, of this place, and J. H. Dixon, of Query's Station, were licensed to preach and. assigned fields of labor. Mr. Moore was assigned to the mountain district around Asheville. Mr. James Williams, of this county, was assigned to' preach in Anson coun ty. The attention of the session was chiefly engrossed in the consideration of the case of Rev. J. T. Plunkett, from Steele Creek, the particulars of which are more fully given in another place. Mr. Plunkett was received into the Presbytery, and a committee was appointed to install him as pastor of Steele Creek church. The Presbytery adjourned to meet next, for the fall session, at Morrison church, Macon county. On Sunday the new church at Hun tersville was dedicated, Dr. A. W.Miller preaching the sermon. The meeting was more fully attend ed than any hitherto and the discus sions were earnest and interesting. Mr. Latimer as moderator exhibited a great deal of judgment and acquain tance with the duties of a presiding officer, and his management of compli cated questions which arose is highly complimented. A REALIZATION OF GRBAT EXPECTATIONS. In the large steam sugar refinery of Messrs. Mc lean, Newnall & Bone, on Cburcb Alley, Phila delphia, has worked for many a day a middle aged laborer, popular with his comrades, and gen erally well liked, one Wm. J.

This company was Incorporated under the law of theBtateof New York, October 2, 188a The capital stock Is SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, (8600,000), divided into One Hundred and Twen ty Thousand 8hares (120,O00, at Jflve Dollars ($5.00) per share. The Stock is Forever Unassessable. The object of the company Is not to engage rn the business of mining metallic ores, but to smelt the ores of gold and silver, and refine the base bullion; to Bmelt also the ores' of copper and Iron, and for this purpose to purchase these ores and pay for them In cash, according to their assay val ue, deducting only the cost of treatment and a fair profit Large bodies of all these ores are now available from many large mines near Charlotte, and from many others, easily accessible by rail The location of the company's works Is the most eligible that can be desired. It comprises ten acres ot ground, In fee simple, within one and a halt miles of the centre of the CITY OF CHARLOTTE, In the State of North Carolina, on the line of the Carolina Central Hallway, which connects at this place with several other railroads, radiating to all parts ot the country. Sugar creek, adjoining the company's property, affords an abundance of pure water. One hundred acres of land In addition, ad joining the company's plant, and weU timbered, have been bonded by the company, through both of which tracts a very valuable geld mine runs. The works of the company are already partly finished. The entire machinery has been manu factured In Bostou, New York, New Jersey and Pittabure. A considerable portion ot It bas ar rived, and the balance has been shipped to this place. It hat all been paid for. It Is on a grand scale, and oi superior workmanship. It comprises a magnificent steam engine and boilers of 200 horse-power; crushers, pulverizers, a piston-blower of 00 horse power, to furnish a hot blast for the smelter, which Is large enough to smelt the con centrates of pne huudred tons ot ore per day; roasting furnaces, large enough to roast ne hun dred tons of ore per day; mills, capable of pulver izing this amount as fine as wheat flour; and three concentrators, of sufficient capacity to concentrate the same; with steam pumps and toggle presses sufficient to compress the concentrated ores, mix ed with pulverized fluxes, into balls to be charged into the smelter. The company expects to have these works fin ished and ready to run In about throe months. They have already erected a splendid stack cost ing nearlv one thousand dollars: an assay office, 24x38 feet and two stories high, now supplied with the largest and most perfect assortment of chemicals, furnaces, tools and apparatus ever seen In any similar establishment A large building, BO feet square and two stories high, is rapidly ap proaching completion, aua tne materials to nmsn It are all on the ground. The foundations for the smelter and roasting furnaces have been dug out and all the materials to build them with. Includ ing the iron work, lire bricks, and tiles, have been entirely finished and made ready to set up. These works, it is believed will outrival the larg est and best works of the kind ever buUt in this country. They are chiefly the Inventions of PROFESSOB HENRY W. ADAMS, of New York, according to whose patents and per sonal auoervlBlon they are constructed. Science, skill, enterprise, and good business management unite to render it reasonably certain that the stock of the company will be a sure and profitable In vestment Mine owners, business men, and all classes of citizens will be benefited one way and another by the success of this company. It Is evident that the company means business solid, leeitlmaie business, carried on upon strictly business principles. Already a large amount of meney has been expended, and the company has reserved one-fourth of Its entire cap ital stock to be sold for working capital, the pro ceeds of which are to be expended In the purchase of ores, fuel, fluxes, and in carrying out generally tbe great undertaKing. The trustees, officers and stockholders of the cnmDanv are chiefly New York capitalists, lnclud- also several of the most distinguished men of the nation in high official positions .The president of the company Is Prof. Henry W. Adams. A. M.. M. D.. LL. D., whose well known scholarship, genius, experience, and prestige, em inently quality him for the position; his extensive knowiedse of chemistry and metallurgy, together with his long experience In assaying and smelting ores and preparing fluxes, and his Invaluable pa tents for roasting and smelting and fluxing ores, and for parting and refining the precious metals, are, to those who know his acquirements, a sure guarantee of the company's success. The compa nv owns all kis Datents for the 8tate of North Carolina, and it is believed that they will be a source of great revenue when the success oitne nrAXAnt works shall be fully demonstrated. I The establishment will embrace fixtures and fa cilities for parting bullion and refining the pre cious metals by a new, rapid and successful meth od, also Invented by Prof. Adams. This process is unknown and unpractised la the world; it Is mmnie. raDid. and vastly cheaper than tne old method. This branch of the business cannot fall to give the company business, prestige and profit It Is expected by the company to manufacture, in mie time, sulphuric acid from the sulphur con talned in the ores, and also to manufacture bricks, equal to the Philadelphia pressed bricks, from the waste material obtained from the process of con centration. As it has been thought best to give the citizens of Charlotte and of North Carolina an opportunity to participate in this enterprise, and to help it for ward by becoming personally interested in it, the company offers a portion of their treasury stock at the low rate ot 5 lAY YARDS OF THE BESTQUALTTT OT PBCfTS, xttort ieitigtiiVVtnltirof fWni - k cXlTS - " " . ?
