Styt Charlotte (bbBtrvn. OHM, A JONES, Editor A Proprietor LXHYKBXD AT TRX POBT-OTTIOT A? CBJlHLOTT, N. C. Afl SBOOlTD-CLABa MATTTO.1 SUNDAY, FEB. 12, 1882. Four hundred and sixty-three fac tories were built in Philadelphia last year. Drunkenness among women has as sumed such alarming proportions in Chicago as to call for a meeting of a number of ladies, on the 2d, to take ini tiatory steps for establishing an inebri ate asylum for women. About a hundred students of the Uni versity at Rochester, N. Y., attended Oscar Wilde's lecture at that place last Tuesday night and raised such a pan demonium that the greatei portion of the audience got up in disgust and left the hall. The Queen said in her speech to Par liament, "the condition, of Ireland shows signs of improvement." A return to Parliament reports 811 outrages in the past January, of. which 479 were agrarian, an increase of 81 over J anuary of 1SS1. That's showing "signs of im provement." The Supreme Court of Kansas has de clared to be unconstitutional so much of the prohibitory law as prescribes a punishment for drunkenness, on the ground that the provision was not ex pressed in the title of the bill. It also decides that any person legally in pos session of liquor has the right to drink or give it away. In Burmah, nepotism is resolutely rendered impossible by the instant slaughter of all the king's relatives, by imperial orders, immediately after coro nation. It is stated as a fact that King Thebaw, on coming to the throne, had the heads of all his relatives cut off his brothers-in-law, his mothers-in-law, his sisters, cousins and aunts so that there might be no chance for conspira cies against him. He then sought to remorse in the wine-cup, and succeeded, raising a first class case of the jim-jams. Washington Republican: Guiteau is more quiet these days than he has been, but he is not entirely without hope. His appetite remains good, and the pris on officials think that there "is no dan ger of his breaking down. He is not too crazy to be hung, but just crazy enough to think that he may yet escape the final penalty of the law. He has two hopes one in the court in banc, and then, as a final resort, the executive clemency. The fact that he cherishes the last as a basis of hope is only an other proof of the overwhelming ego tism of the man. marriage in Monroe. A brilliant marriage came off in Monroe Thursday night, the contract ing parties being Mr. J. D. Futch, for merly of Wilmington, and Miss Julia, daughter of J. D. Stewart, Esq., a prom inent citizen and merchant of Monroe. The bride and groom are two of the most popular and well-known young people of that section, and on behalf of their many friends The Obsekver tenders congratulations and best wish es. Several Charlotte people were present on that occasion a3 were some from New York, Wilmington and other places. The affair was the most largely atten ded of any of its kind ever occurring in the town, and was quite a social event in the community. THE ALLEGED INDEPENDENT 7IOVEIIENT IN THE SOIT1I. The following from the Baltimore Sun, a very conservative and cool-head ed journal, grasps the the status of the so-called independent movement in the South so truly that we transfer the ar ticle entire to our columns. It says: The history of the independent move ment in the South, upon which such large hopes have been built, is not a history of facts. There are not want ing in the States south of Virginia em bryo statesmen desirous of emulating the career of Mahone, but they are wanting in ability, and, what is more to the purpose, are without an issue and without supporters. It is difficult to inaugurate a rousing political cru sade on an old cry, and with no more inspiring purpose than the possession of offices. Enthusiasm can doubtless be expected in the persons immediate ly benefitted, but the mass of voters need an animating principle. This is shown by the failure so far of the poli cy of conciliation of the present admin istration to break the solid South. It is the failure of a policy of kindness, ex cellent in itself, but calculated with ap parent political shrewdness to secure partisan results. It was a striking nov elty in President Arthur's message that it not only made no hostile allusion to the South, but made no allusion at all. More striking still is the fact that up to the present time in neither house of Congress have been heard any of those virulent sectional speeches well calcu lated to "fire the Northern heart" and solidif y the South. Senator Mahone is doubtless the peacemaker who has with happy effect taught the members of the party with which he acts at Washington the disin tegrating effect of an unsectional policy on the South. Not improbably nor improperly such a policy, if persisted in, will succeed in its object, since it will remove the caus es which have made the South "solid." When the general government busies itself exclusively with economic ques tions the tariff, the internal revenue, the finance, the reform of the civil ser vice, and like matters the States will begin also to divide on subjects of local concern. It is safe to say that many of the abus es that have crept into the administra tion of the State governments through out the Union are due to the violent character of national issues during the last twenty years. Looking abroad ov ermuch, the people have paid too little attention to the formidable issues in State government to which a denser population, with changed ideas and changed circumstances, has given rise at home. Corrupt and inefficient State governments cannot compose a pure and wll-governed nation. The units must be possessed of reputable quali fies, else the Union will be lacking in character. One thing may be consider ed certain: that when the people of the individual States turn seriously to the task of reforming local politics, the sc aled "independent," whose idea pf in SndeSce,rardles3 of principles, to S"f o?Tbe7cattering vote of both narliea will be reformed out of exist n'Therfl is a great difference be- As i matter of fact it is true that of all the names mentioned in connection with the new movement'nine-tcnths of them, if not all, are men who have be( n disappointed in their political aspira tions and seek a new deal . when they may float to the surface and be person ally benefitted. Where freedom of opinion exists as it dues in this country, every citizen has the right to act with that party whose objects, and aims his judgment endorses, and has the right, too, to renounce the party with which he has acted and em brace another when he discovers that he has been in error, but to prove his sincerity and command confidence in the motives that actuated him he should be ready and willing to state candidly and freely tljje reasons which impel him to such change and not in dulge in mere meaningless generalities that carry on their face only the discon tent and disappointment of those who indulge in them. The people respect true independence, that kind which boldly announces its honest convictions, aud sincerely aims at promoting the public welfare, but they have no re spect for that so called independence which bolts from one party and cringes to another because one fails to give what the other seems to promise. The one commands respect because it is born of patriotism, the other is spurn ed because it is the spawn of selfishness which betrays itself in spite of the vir tuous pretense it makes. A BRIEF HISTORY Of the First Prekbyterian Church of Charlotte, flf. C, Drafted by Mr. Jo. II. Wilson, at the Instance and by Request of the Bench of Deacousof the First Presbyterian Church. 1. The property now owned by the Trustees (viz: the square) was donated by the Commissioners of the town of Charlotte to the citizens thereof for the purpose of being improved by them to give accommodation for religious ser vices to an denominations, the title thereto being retained by said Commis sioners. The population of the town at that time was quite small, not exceeding say three nundred (300) in number. There was no church of any denomi tion in the place. In pursuance of the license thus giv en by the Commissioners, the citizens or the town undertooK the erection of a church building of brick on said square. It was completed about the year 1818. The principal contributors thereto were Presbyterians, consisting mainly of Capt. Wm. Davidson, John Irwin, William Smith, Wm Carson and a few others. When the improvement was complet ed it was ascertained that a debt had been incurred to the extent of fifteen hundred dollars. This indebtedness was discharged by a loan of money ob tained from an agency of the Bank of Newbern which had been established in said town, of which Capt. Wm. Da vidson was the chief officer. To raise the money to pay the indebt edness the Commissioners of the town were induced to make a corporate note tor the amount, which was negotiated in said bans, This application was made and granted upon the ground that the title to the property thus improved was retained by the corporate authori ties. This debt was carried by the bank until about the year 1832, about which time the charter of the bank expired. This debt, at that day, was regarded as quite an "lncuous on the town. When the payment became a neces sity Mr. John Irwin, twho was desirous of securing the property for the Pres byterians of the town, proposed to the Board of Commissioners that if they would convey the property to him he would advance the money and pay off meaeot. inis proposal was readily acceded to by the corporate authorities, and a deed accordingly was made to him for the property. In a short time after this transaction Mr. Irwin took up a subscription among the Presbyte rians of the place and raised the monev for his reimbursement, he being a lib eral subscriber to that end. He subse quently conveyed the property to the irusteesor tne cnurcn. Thistransac tion on the part of Mr. Irwin was strict ly consistent with fairness and propri ety, ior me reason mat tne prop erty had been improved mainly by rresDyienan money. Tne congrega tion snouia always Dear in mind the debt of gratitudeit owes to Mr. Irwin tor nis liberality and activity in secur ing the property for the benefit of the .rresDytenan church. r mi l z. jme cnurcn was supplied one- fourth of the time by the services of the Rev. Samuel Caldwell, the pastor of Sugar Creek church, up to the time of ms ueatn, wnicn occurred in 1826. He was succeeded by the Rev. R. H. Mor rison, D. D., who served the church a like fourth of his time up to about 1832. He wa3 succeeded by the Rev. A. J. Leavenworth, who filled the pulpit ud to about 1841 or 1842. He was succeed ed oy the Rev. J. M. M. Caldwell, the pastor in charge of Sugar Creek church, who filled the pulpit one-fourth of his ume. jtie was succeeded by his broth er, the Rev. Hooper Caldwell, who act ed as suoolv for a short time. FT succeeded about the year 1844, by the nev. j.jj. vv. freeman, wbo rilled the puipit tor some three or four years. He was succeeded fcy the Rev. Cyrus John ston, L. v., (of precious memory) who was the first duly installed pastor of luw uiiurcri. Up to the time of the accession of ur. jonnston the church organization was weak in numbers as well as weak nnanciaiiy. Mis administration was greatly blessed under the tne noiy bpint, in its growth of mem bership and influence. It continued to be a growing church up to the time of his sudden death. He was succeeded ty the Rev. A. W. Miller, who was its pastor up to about 1856 or 1857. He was succeeded by the Rev. Alexander Sinclair, who continued to be its pastor up to about 18C4. He was succeeded by the Rev. A. W. Miller, the present pastor in charge. 3. During the ministration of Dr. Cyrus Johnston the growth of the con gregation was such as to demand anew church edifice, so as to give enlarged accommodation to persons who desired to worship therein. After the call of Dr. Miller, the work of erecting a new church building was commenced and completed about the year 1857. In the year 1877 the manse for the accom modation of the pastor and his family was completed. 4. About the year 1873, owing to the growth of the congregation, and the outside increase of Presbyterian popu lation in the town, it was deemed ad visable to organize a second Presbyte rian church, which was accomplished, and of which the Rev. E. H. Harding took charge. This undertaking was liberally aided by the First Presbyte rian church. SKINNY MEN. - Well's Health Renewer.
