Is TUiM Ihe Eud!
It is thought that the whiskey trials
yesterday before Justice Waring will
probably put an end to the effort to sell
whiskey iu Charlotte according to law,
as there is a well defined and growing
feeling in favor of suppressing its pro
miscuous sale as heretofore. We do not
blame the whiskey men because they
have made every possible effort to save
themselves and their business, but now
that the end has come we believe that
they ought to submit to the law. In
our opinion it would have been better
ii t lie change from very "wet" to extra
ordinarily "dry" had been more gradual,
and the dealers had been given more
more time to close up their business,
but as that course was not taken, it will
not now do to take steps backward.
Whatever may be the opinion of indi
viduals the tiat has gone forth that the
promiscuous triffic in whiskey, such as
it has existed in Charlotte for the past
fifteen years shall cease. There is no
denying or rubbing it out. The city
prohibition ordinances may or may not
hold in law ; the necessity for applica
tion for license to the county commis
sioners may have been held in abeyance
for ten dears, but no man would dare
now, after the legal exposition of the
law in the court house yesterday, to set
up a whiskey business, without the nec
essary license from these custodians of
the law. Therefore without quibbling
we do not hesite to say that the last
ditch has been reached.
While the battle waged, hard words
have been said and bitter thoughts have
been indulged in. Let us now have
general amnesty between the factions.
We are all in the same boat, and each
Bide ought te be willingto yield to the
other at least the recognition that the
other side was honest in their convic
tions. We have a great destiny before
us, and the work to be done calls for
cool heads, steady hands and willing
hearts. Life is too short to be spent in
pulling and tearing each other down,
when the same amount of work will go
further in building each other up. Let
the dead past bury its own dead.
Complimentary Uctotutioim.
At a regular meeting of the Charlotte
Gounod Musical club, held night before
last, at the residence of Mrs. B. L.
Dewey, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
In view of the trip of the Gounod
club to Wilmington, and of their very
great enjoyment of the hospitality ex
tended to them while there, and as a
slight testimonial of their grateful ap
preciation and remembrance of the
elegant and charming courtesy of their
hosts, the following resolqtions were
adopted by the club, and the secretary
instructed to forward them to the
secretary of the Dramatie club in Wil
mington: Whereas, The Amateur Dramatic
club, of the city of Wilmington, saw fit
to extend to the Gounod club, of Char
lotte, cordial invitation to visit Wil
mington arid present to the people of
that city the "Tuates of Tenzance,
and
Whereas, The Amateur Dramatic
club and their friends received and en
tertained their visitors with a warmth
of greeting and a degree of elegant hos
pitality, which not only surpassed their
expectations from a people whose fame
as hosts ha3 been from theearliest
days of the settlement of the Cape Fear
region, a subject which has baffled the
e:rort3 of the most grateful and elo
quent tongues and pens, but has also
served as an illustration of the maxim,
that all true hospitality finds its origin
and its lire in kindly and generoq3 na
tures; therefore be it
Resolved, By the Gounod club, in full
meeting assembled, that we desire to
put on record some fitting expression of
our appreciation of the universal kind
ness, and innumerable delicate atten
tions shown us, and to preserve in per
petual remembrance the recollection
ot our visit to Wilmington, but finding
ourselves madeauate xo the one, and
yet more than capable of the other, We
must content ourselves with thi3 sim
ple testimonial of gratitude and thanks,
' Hesolved, That in the reception and
enjoyment of their hospi'talitiea we
ha;:? formed acquaintanceships from
Ayhicri' we can expect only thp most
agreeable social intercourse. -
Jiesoloed, That the secretary of this
club be requested to forward these
resolutions to the Amateur Dramatic
club of Wilmington, with the hope
that we may be able to reciprocate
their many kindnesses, and in any
. evnt to welcome them to our homes
'and firesides. B. L. Dewey,

THE inniORATION QUESTION.
What iu Done, n Well at What is to
be Done
The Observer yesterday bad a call
from Mr. Theo. Buerbaum, who has be
come the agent of the Associated rail
ways of Virginia and the Carolinas,
in the matter of immigration, with
head quarters at Salisbury. It was
learned from him that a well directed
effort will he made the coming fall and
winter to introduce a large number of
foreign immigrants to locate in the
South, Uut particularly in the Tiedmont
secti m eff the Carolinas.
In reply to the question "How many
of this class of people have already been
brought here?' he said the number
was between 325 and 350.
"How were they received by the peo
ple employing them V and do they give
satisfaction?" In reply to this he
handed us the following copy of a let
ter receivedonly a few days ago from
one of the immigrants that had been
"placed" in Montgomery county. The
letter was written in intelligent Ger
man, and the following is a free trans
lation :
MlLLEDGEVILLE, MONTGOMERY
County, N. C, June M, 1881.
Theo. Buerbaum ;
Dear Sir If not too much trouble
be kind enough to send me an English
grammar, one in which the English is
written as it is pronounced, and trans
lated into German. I suppose you can
easily get a book like that from an im
migrant, and even if it should cost a
dollar, for the English language is
about as necessary to me now as daily
bread. Our employer, Mr. Southerly.and
we converse with each other by saying
"yes," although neither of us under
stand one word, and we stand there
like that jackass hearing thunder for
the first time. Feople here are so good,
especially our employer, Mr. Jno. South
erly, and his wife is goodness herself;
they help us and give us, what we
would not dare to ask for. For this
reason I and all of us like to do our full
duty which he has a right to expect
from us, but all this could be done bet
ter, if we could understand each. other
well enough. We are satisfied with
everything, for our employer and his
lady cares for us like parents care for
their children, and 1 believe all of us
would go through fire for them. We
have also to express, dear sir, to you
our gratitude for everything you have,
done for us, and especially for having
procured us such a good place. Tlease
ask him, whether he is satisfied with
us or not, for it is very awkward not to
know whether we do things right or
not, as he is always equally kind to us.
Those three Tolanders have been quar
relling already among themselves, but
this will not last long, for the whether
changes very quickly. Hoping you will
fulfill my wish and give Mr. Southerly
such a book the next time he comes
up, I remain yours
Very respectfully,
Edwin J ysler, Mechanic.
Mr. Buerbaum says he h;is yet to
hear of the first instance where the
immigrants have failed to give satis
faction to resonablo employers, and
although much of our farm work is
new to them, (the cultivatian of cotton
for instance) they have to be shown
how to do the work only once. They
will also do a day's work if left to them
selves, which is more than can be said
for the average laborer. The wages
paid average 10 to 812 and board for
first class hands, and the immigrant
comes nearer earning his wages than
the ordinary colored hand, as evidenced
by those who have employed them.
In a. short time an immigrant's home
will be erected in Salisbury at the joint
expense of the railroad and the Stale
Agricultural Department, and the busi
ness of getting the immigrants to come
here will be carried on systematically
About the 1st of September Mr
Buerbaum hopes to have a meeting of
the farmers of Mecklenburg in Char
lotte, at which time he will address
them on the- subject of introducing
the same class of immigrants into this
county. He will of course come pre
pared to answer any questionin regard
to the details of any plan that may be
adopted.
Almost a Serious Ilailroad Accident
Night before last there were rumors
on the street of a serious railroad acci
dent on the Air-Line Railroad, but up
on investigation no particulars could
be gathered. On yesterday, however,
it was learned that the west bound pas
senger train, which left Charlotte at
12.30 a. m., with Capt. Jim McCool as
conductor, ran off the railroad bridge
over the Enoree river, about 10 miles
north of Greenville, S. C.
The particulars in the Daily News,
of Greenville, are thus recorded: As
the train came around the curve just
beyond the Enoree trestle, at the usual
rate of speed, Engineer Mulligan espied
a hand caron the track loaded with
iron just entering upon the trestle at
the west end of it going in the direction
of the approaching train. The laborers
in charge of the hand car deserted it
on hearing the approach of the train,
which was so close at hand as to make
the position extremely perilous. With
all possible haste the air brakes were
put on but the train was too near to
stop before coming in contact with the
hand car. With the full power of the
air brakes, however, the speed of the
train was slackened to such an extent
as to almost come to a stop before
striking the hand car, but the sudden
application of the brakes, their whole
force being used to avoid what seemed
inevitably to be thq immediate ap
proach ot an awful calamity, the en
gine with the exception of the small
tront wheels and the entire train was
thrown off the rails on the cross ties
immediately over the trestle, which is
about fifty feet high. The train was at
this time going slow enough to avoid
much of a tear-up in the track, else the
most serious results would doubtless
have followed. The hand car yas
struck by the front of the engine with
considerable lorco, but remained on
the track ana was sent rolling oil in
front of the train.
The coaches contained a considera
ble number of passengers who were
much frightened, but none were hurt,
the train comine to a complete stop
alter it left the track.

TOE WHISKEY CASES.
Trials Before Justice Waring, Yes
terday. i : i
VER the whiskey cases against W . R.
Cochrane came UP for hearing in J US-
t.inft Warino'a r.rmrr. at 10 nV.loHr vps-
. . . r - . - - - - j -
yes
terday morning. There were eight
separate indictments against the defen
dant, and it was pretty well under
stood that the arguments presented in
the first case would bear equally upon
all. On the part of the defendant there
was no denial that whiskey had been
sold as had been charged, but the pros
ecution claimed that no license had
been granted to the defendant by the
county commissioners, and that this
was the gravamen of the offense.
In this action there was no attempt
made on the part of the prosecution to
rely upon the city law known as the
"prohibition ordinances," and as the
defense had evidently expected to be
prosecuted for a violation of these or
dinances, it was plain to be seen that
counsel for the defense had dropped in
to deep water where they had preyious
ly expected to find bottom easily.
In regard to dealing in spirituous
liquors without any special license from
the hoard of commissioners, the de
fense offered the testimony of Wm.
Maxwell, Esq., clerk of the board of
county commissioners, who stated on
oath that for ten years no person had
applied for license from the boajfcd to re
tail liquors in Charlotte. The custom
had been for persons who were desirous
of engaging in the retail of spirituous
liquors in the city, to apply to the board
of aldermen, and then to the United
States Internal Revenue authorities.
If both were granted the applicant set
up his business, and the sheriff in due
time called and collected the State and
county license tax, which was under
stood to imply the assent of the com
missioners under the law. In proof
that this was the custom the defense
offered the following receipt for the
license tax paid to the sheriff for this
year :
LICENSE TAX RECEIPT.
Charlotte, N. C.
Received this 1st day of January, 1881,
of W. R. Cochrane, sixty dollars, of
which thirty dollars is the tax to the
State of North Carolina, and thirty dol
lars is the tax to the county of Meck
lenburg for his license to retail liquors
at his stand in Charlotte, until the 1st
day of January next, 1882.
(Signed) M. E. Alexander, J
Sheriff Mecklenburg County.
Wm. Maywell,
Register of Deeds.
Ter J. W. Cobb, D. R. J
The defense argued that this receipt
was a license, and that the amount ac
knowledged by the sheriff, as the tax
levied by both county and State, was a
tacit understanding that the receipt car
ried with it the privileges allowed to be
granted at the discretion of the county
commissioners.
The prosecution took the ground,
quoting the Slate law, that no license
had been granted by the county com
missioners, notwithstanding the receipt
paid to both ihe county and State,
through the sheriff, and that such
license was as necessary as the city
license to be obtained from the board
of aldermen, or of the United States In
ternal Revenue authorities. This side
argued that in the matter of the sale of
ardent spirits, in the city of Charlotte
there were three governing authorities
each having concurrent jurisdiction to
wit:
The United States government; the
State government, whose powers and
prerogatives had in this case been dele
gated to the county, and whose minis
ters were the county commissioners,
and the city government, and that the
failure to secure license from any ene
of the three, vitiated any license ob
tained from any one or both the others.
Justice waring in rendering a decis
ion expressed grave doubts as to the
liability of the defendant, but said that
sitting as on a preliminary trial, and to
the end that a question of such moment
should be resolved by the higher court
he would require a 8100 bond in three
cases, which was accordingly given.
This of course caries the whole ques
tion over to the next term of the Su
perior Court for Mecklenburg county,
and in the meantime the bar-rooms are
closed sine die.
A VaBMEB'S F0BTUNE.
FlITY THOUSAND DOLLARS BKALIZED
FROM AN
Investment of Five Dollars by
a Luck i
Yovm Tennxsssean.
The luckiest man In Tennessee, and probably
the happlest'lndivlduai at present in that State,
is Alexander McCrosk j, a young farmer residing
near SomervUle; lor h. has been greatly favored
by fortune, and suddenly elevated from moderate
circumstances to affluence.
About three weeks ago Mr. McCrosky sent to tbe
office of the Louisiana State Lottery Company In
New Orleans for half ot a ticket in the grand
drawing, which took place Jane 14th. In due
time he received the ticket, and last Tharsday dis
covered to his great joy that he had won 850,000
half of the first capital prize of $100,000 ill last
Tuesday's drawing.
One can Imagine the sensation created In Mc-
Crosky's neighborhood by the amwuncemenj of
this exciting, fact, which is so well Illustrated by
the saying that ft 1$ he unexpected which hap-
peija.
This gift of Fortune seems to have been con
ferred, upon a very worthy IndivlduaL The winner
of the grand prize Is described as a hard-worHlng
and Industrious young man, of good family, and
formerly a resident of Mississippi, In the vicinity
pf Holly Springs. The prosperity so suddenly
thrust upon him has not, It Is said, impaired his
equanimity. Like a sensible business man.be
deposited the ticket. No. 47.943, for collection
with the Union and Planters' Bank of Memphis.
A reporter for the Picayune learned from Mr. Ed
mund B. Shoste, exchange clerk in the Louisiana
National Bank, that the ticket had been received
Monday morning from the Union and Planters'
Bank. On being presented to Mr. M. A- Dauphin,
at the office of the Louisiana Lottery Company, In
New Orleans, a check for $50,000 on the Louisi
ana National Bank was immediately Issued, and
this amount was forwardad to Memphis by bill of
exchange on New York. So that Wednesday Mr.
McCrosky will find to his credit In bank a sum
sufficient to support him comfortably for the rest
of his days. New Orleans Picayune, June 21.
