PUBLIC MEETING.
Censure of Tbe Observer."
At a meeting of the citizens of Char
lotte at the court house to express their
disapproval of the article in The
Charlotte Observer of to-day, con
cerning the attempted assassination of
President Garfield, Gen. Thos. F. Dray
ton was Called to the chair, and Wto.
B. GriffiCh anU Thos. M. Pittman were
requested to act as secretaries.
Gen. Drayton stated that the meet
ing was called to express thedisap-
Sroval of an article in this morning's
B8EBVER, regarding the attempted
assassination of the President.
Ilev.'E. H. Harding said that he had
read with much regret the editorial re
ferred to and that while he entirely ap
proved of the meeting he hoped that in
passing resolutions condemning the
views expressed in The Observer
there would be no discourtesy express
ed to Col. Jones. That he was sure
Col. Jones had written the article with
out forethought as to its effect He
thought there should be decided disap
proval of the sentiments of the article
which was so contrary to the feelings
of the people, but no censure of Col.
Jones further than the condemnation
of his editorial.
S. Wittkowsky, said that before go
ing farther he hoped the meeting would
hear CoL Jones in explanation of his
article. That he had known CoL Jones
many years had been with him in
many and varied circumstances in
public and political meetings and in
festive and social gatherings that un
der all circumstances he had found him
an earnest and warm worker for the
interests of this city. That he believ
ed that Col. Jones had no intention of
making the mistake he had and that
he was sure that it was an error of the
head and not of the heart He there
fore! requested that Col. Jones be heard
in self defence.
F. A.McNinch said that as he under
stood the object of this meeting Col.
Jones was not here on trial that he
was entitled to speak just as any other
individual in the meeting. That the
question was the views expressed in
The Observer and that any explana
tion or defence of those views should
come through The Observer.
Col. Jones was called for and said :
Mr. Chairman : As a citizen of this
community on last Saturday I cheer
fully and heaitily endorsed the resolu
tions of sympathy and condolence with
President Garfield in his present afflic
tions, then presented and adopted, and
I now reiterate my sentiments as then
expressed by a rising vote. For the ar
ticle in this morningrs Observer I de
sire to say that no human being is re
sponsible except myself, and were I
called on to re-write it I should perhaps
on reflection not allude to the political
record of Mr. Garfield before he was
inducted into the high and responsible
office of President, and I desire to say
now that it was perhaps impolitic, and
yet during the campaign, which ended
with his election in last November, I
stood in the position now occupied by
the chair, and addressing a political
meeting then assembled, referred to
the very same facts, which I believed
then and believe now to be true. I
recognize the power of this community
to draw me up before the bar of public
opinion, but I did not consider it a
crime to allude to the record made by
Mr. Garfield in the matter of the
Louisiana election when he more than
any and all others gave that State to
Hayes instead of to Tilden, thus re
versing the verdict of the people of
these United States, in their choice for
President in 1876. In my article this
morning I spoke for myself and myself
only. The people in public meeting
assembled, I with them, had already
been put on record, by the resolutions
adopted Saturday, and in writing up
my reflections last night I did not do so
with that care which the importance of
the subject demanded. If I am to be
hung I have come here to be in at the
hanerinEr. and to sav. as sueeested bv
Mr. Wittkowsky, who has just taken his
seat, that if I have erred my errors
have been errors of the head and not of
the heart
I have published nearly 3,000 daily
issues of The Observer in Charlotte,
which day by day, week by week, month
by month and year by year, have been
hand in hand with the people of the
city, and this is the first time I have
been arraigned before the bar of pnblic
opinion for anything I have said. I do
not now acknowledge that I have done
anything wrong, but the size of this
meeting to night indicates that in the
sentiment of the community I have
been indiscreet and I bow before the
verdict
Mr. R. N. Tiddy moved that a com
mittee of five be appointed to draft res
olutions.
The chair appointed R. N. Tiddv. S.
Wittkowsky, Rev. E. H. Harding, A.
W. Ludolf and R. Y. McAden. The
committee, after retiring to consult, re
turned and reported the following reso
lutions:
Whereas, the Charlotte Observer
in its issue of to-day has expressed,
editorially, views and opinions regard
ing the attempted assassination of the
President so far removed from the
feelings of this community as to be in
direct opposition to the real sentiments
of jtne citizens of this city ; and whereas,
the people of this city, in a largely at
tended meeting, held Saturday evening
last expressed by a unanimous vote
their sincere regret and genuine sorrow
tor tne murderous assault made upon
the life of our -President, and tendered
Mm through the . Secretary of state
their deepest sympathy in his affliction
and their earnest, heartfelt hope for his
speedy recovery: and whereas, the
same meeting without a dissenting
voice expressed their abhorence for the
vile deed done upon the person of the
President and through him upon the
people of the entire country ; therefore,
llesolvec(,t That we in no wise endorse
the editorial in to-day's Observer, but
dirrir totally from the views therein
expressed, which are entirely contrary

Resolved, That the proceedings of
this meeting with these resolutions be
published in the Charlotte Obser-
Home, i
It was moved and seconded that they
be adopted.
Mr. R. Y. McAden said that he had
read the article in this morning's Ob
server with as much regret as any
one. That in approving of the resolu
tions he desired to say that he knew the
value of Col. Jopes to the city of Char-

it was difficult to be always right He
felt satisfied that Col. Jones would sec

day's (Monday's) paper were all wrong.
while those of Sunday mornmrs issue
were in full accord with the public Bo
this morning's Daner was all wrong, but
he was sure to-morrow's paper would
be right again.
The resolutions were unanimously

ProKftritioa In Salisbury.
A large prohibition meeting was held
in Salisbury on the 'glorious fourth
which w as largely attended by both
white and colored people. The meet
ing was addressed by Judge Dick, of
Greensboro, CoL J. P. Thomas, of Char
lotte, and a colored man of the vicin
age. Our informant reports the pro
hibition cause as prosperous in that sec
tion and that D. A. (banker) Davis is
grimly in earnest.
SU-Mclt by LlybtmUig-
Mr. W. S.'Brown, a prominent farmer
who lives about three miles south of
the city, made a trip to Pineville last
Thursday and on his return, not far
from the latter place, was caught in a
thunder storm. He took shelter under
a large tree near the roadside, and his
horse becoming restive he dismounted
and held him by the bridle. Soon an
unusually severe clap of lightning
struck the tree and glanced from this in
two forks, one of which struok his
horse, killing him instantly. The other
passed through the rim of Mr. Brown's
hat and striking over the right eye
crushed him to . the ground, where he

was found by the roadside about dark
and carried to the house of Mr. J. T.
Downs where measures were taken to
revive him. In a few days he was re
moved to his own residence where he
now lies m a critical condition. The
physician in attendance expresses hope
of his recovery.
Bitten by a, Snake.
Mr. R. H. Lavercombe, the gentle
manly manager of the Singer sewing
machine office in this city, was out
funning with some mends on tne
"ourth of July when, in passing
through the woods, he suddenly felt a
stinging sensation in the calf of one of
his legs, and on investigating the na
ture of it discovered that he had been bit
ten bv a snake. In a minute the lee was
swollen nearly double its natural size
and tingling all through with the sen
sation that usually results from one's
extremities "croine to sleep. A pint
of whiskey, with which the party were
supplied, was quicKiy swauowea Dy
Mr. Lavercombe without perceptibly
affecting him. He was driven to the
nearest house where another pint was
obtained and swallowed, still without
having any effect upon him. On top
of this he was given some "cherry
bounce," which made him sick, and an
tidote and poison were let alone to fight
it out The anti-prohibition ' measure
in this instance, was successful and
Mr. Lavercombe was out of danger
yesterday- from the bite, though his leg
was still swolen and an ugly black
spot marked the place where the fang
of the snake had cut it
