THE OBSERVER TO-DAY. We continue to-day digests of the de cisions filed by the Supreme Court by a talented lawyer of the Raleigh bar.and in another column will be found an in teresting letter from Washington. The Observer claims to be a news paper, and its correspondence adds largely to the interest of its columns. Besides these special features we have made arrangements to have our news by tel egraph increased fifty per cent., which is only another evidence that we are determined to keep in the front rank of the journalism of to-day. We be lieve TnE Observer has added more names to its subscription list during the last thirty days than for the same length of time during its history .which shows its appreciation by a reading public. Not a single subscriber has been solicited. In this connection we will also men tion the fact that the proprietor of The Observer has bought No. 2 of the Granite Row of brick buildings, just opposite the Central Hotel, on Tryon street, and shortly after the 1st of Jan uary it will be moved into its new quarters. The business office will be on the ground floor, convenient and acces sible to the public, and will be fitted up with all the modern requirements of progressive journalism. COMES OUT OF IT. The last number of the Laurinburg Enterprise which has, since the cam paign opened, been conducted as an or gan of the so called Liberal party, con tains the following : "This morning we received a card from Mr. John C. Troy announc;ng his resignation as editor of this paper, also his withdrawal from the Liberal-Re publican party. He has renewed his alleeiance to the Democratic party and on next Tuesday will vote the ticket of that party in its entirety. We stog uie press w iusbil mia auuuuutoiucui. Daring the time that Mr. Troy occu pied the editorial chair he did vigorous Bervice for the new movement whose cause he had espoused, but like many others, when he saw the true inward ness of the swindle, he had the manli ness to renounce it and return to his al legiance within the Democratic party. Thus the house that Dr. Mott and Co., built is falling to pieces about their ears. They planned shrewdly, but over confident in the ultimate success of their scheme they threw off the dis guise too soon and exposed the trickery to the people they had hoped to dupe. Then the honest men upon whose fol lowing they had counted, seeing the trickery turned in disgust from the tricksters, and from that moment the well studied game of the plotters was doomed to defeat. Had they acted with more caution and refrained from boast ing over the success of their scheming they might have continued the decep tion long enough to have done material injury to the Democratic party, but their zeal ran away with their discre tion and spoiled all the nice little plan3 they had laid. The people of North Carolina are an honest people, despise trickery and de ceit and have no use for so-called lead ers who make these their stock in trade. A Week from the ElectionHopeful Review ot the Situation for the Demo cratsForeman Dickson Retiring Soldiers and Personal Dots. Correspondence of The Observer. Washington, 0"ct. SI. Among Dem ocrats iheiti is iIih utmost cuntitienee that the elections which occur one week from to-day will result favorably for their party in almost all the States. This confidence i.s not based solely on the victory achieved in Ohio. It does not rest altogether on the expectation that "the Germans are with us," in the Northwest. The internecine warfare in the Republican camp, in the Middle States, is not deemed sullicient to ac count for the mighty change going on in public sentiment. All these various reasons for large gains next Tuesday by the Democracy will not iu theaggre gate solve the problem. Gorged with glory and plunder, "the grand old party" staggers to its doom. 'The nation lias done everything tor it that it couia oe reasonably expected to do, and a great deal more than any other nation would have done. The measure of its ambition is now full the negro votes from Delaware to Mex ico. The cup of its pleasure is running over, and "Liberal" puppies are licking up its over-pourings, vv hat more shall this people do for this partv ? Here in Washington, the obesity, the fatty-degeneration, the goutiness of the Kepubncan party is more perceptible than in any other citv. We have Jay Hubbell here in all his glory. The star route ring ramifies from this point throughout the Union. The bloated bank and railroad lobbies "hitch hosses at the capitol. All the fat contractors rendezvous in Washington. -'There's millions in it," if the people don'c break up the programme. Now, it is just this sort of thing, and not so much the Germans and the feuds, that is getting up a national funeral for the Republican party. They have over done it. A little rascality was thought a shrewd joke a little more, something to be winked at; but rings within rings, frauds on frauds, ad infinitum. Bossism has evidently burst its belly band. In every quarter the people and the newspapers, which are mighty apt to be with the people, are execrating the bosses. Wisconsin, in the .North west, and New Hampshire in the North east, are very likely to go Democratic. Butler has "a fighting chance" in Mas sachusettseven Ren Butler may ride in on the wave. In their desperation the Republicans are laying claim to a large number of Southern districts. They have boasted for sometime that they would elect Dockery and possibly three other Con gressmen in .North Carolina. A promi nent officeholder at the capitol is just back from a tour over fifteen eastern counties. He says that "Liberalism has no foothold there, and he feels con fident the State will cast from seven to eight thousand Democratic majority Another Southern State relied upon is Texas, Two well known Texans are in Washington to-day. J. hey concur in the opinion that there will be no show for a single Republican Congressman from the Lone Star State. One of these gentlemen is Representative Mills. A great fight is going on in Virginia. The coalition leader resides here, in the Portland Flats. Mahone is stretching every nerve te succeed. He may do so, but at present there is a good show for the Democrats. The personal methods of the Keadjuster Ross have been des cribed to me by one of bis secret agents, who did not know that I suspected what relations he sustained to the Little Satan. He sits surrounded by clerks and messengers, and receives visitors at all hours of the day. He is personally cognizant of the status of every voter in the State of Virginia, has his name. knows whether he is Democrat, straight Republican, bolting or regular Read justee or doubtful. His list includes two designations, and two only "re liable" and "doubtful." As changes occur from one of these to the other, they are carefully noted with prompt ness, and if necessary "soap" or screws applied, as the case may require. lie is making a wonderful canvass. Every means, from duelling down, is used to further the cause. His agents, some of them attaches of newspapers, swarm everywhere. Only the Mahone side is ever told. W hat the Democrats need is not money or voterg. It is a leader, an organizer as able a3 Mahone, but more honest. Virginia has been steadily de caying in public ability these htty year?. THE STAR ROUTE BRIBERY CASES. Everybody is heartily disgusted with the conduct on both sides of the Star Route cases. The charges of bribery preferred against late agents of the De partment of Justice are undergoing investigation. It is not thought that anything material will grow out of the matter, which is badly mixed. The prosecution, in all these cases, i3 handi capped with the administration. To punish or not to punish ( tbat is the question. If justice be done to Repub lican rogues high in favor, will the par ty not sustain mortal hurt? People not anectea see that the partv is mor tally injured already by these and like things. A new turn of the kaleidoscope orouenc Mr. w linam Dickson out this afternoon, in contempt of court.

The public are cautioned against A Collision Between Guards and the Drunken CJang Which Results in the Death of Innocent People. Cincinnati, November 2. A special dispatch to the Commercial from Ash land, lvv., says: "ilus noon twenty live men and boys, partly intoxicated, seized an engine and car and venLon to Cat lettsburg, against the advice of sober men who last night g-ive up all hope or getting the prisoners from the military. When they reached Catlettsburg they made no effort to capture the prisoners, who were safely placed on board the steamer Granite State. The crowd then hastened back to Ashland and about twenty of them went to the ferry boat, and by use of pisbols compelled the cap tain to put out to intercept the Granite State. Their attitude wasso ridiculous, and their case so hopeless that the af fair would have been a farce but for the reckleps discharge of a revolver in the hand3 of one of the boys on the ferry boat. It was answered at once by a volley from the soldiers. Balls pierced the boiler of the ferry boat and the es caping steam completely disabled the. mob. By this time a great crowd had gathered on the banks of the river and in the houses. The soldiers turned their guns on them and fired without provocation. Here mischief was done. Onlv three were wounded on the ferry boat while all the others on the casual ty list were of the peaceable people on shore. The following is a list of the killed: George Keener, James-McDonald, Col. Reppert, and an infant in its mothers arms. Seven persons were seriously wounded and thirteen slight ly wounded. Col. lieppert was a highly respected citizen, 70 years old. The citizens regard the bring on the ferry boat as justifiable, but have no words to express their indignation at the firing on peaceable citizens. The Gazette says the ferry boat sig nalled the Granite State to land, when she came alongside the ferry. Then the pistol was fired on the ferry boat. After that the soldiers on the Granite State fired only one volley into the ferry boat, they then turned and fired on the peo ple on shore and kept it up while in range. The soldiers' side of the story not yet heard. In addition to those be fore named John Bass was killed. Statement by the Commanding Officer. Lexington, Ky Nov. 2. Major Allen, who commanded the troops that escorted the prisoners Craft and Cheal from Catlettsburg to this city, has made a report regarding the attack by the mob upon the steamer Granite State. Major Allen had for his command re turn tickets over the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, and he intended to go hack that way. but believing it to be unsafe he made arrangements with the captain of the Granite State, which went up to Huntington that evening to take them on her return trip to Mays- ville. That night the troops in ex pec tation of an attack from the mob from Ashland, were under the strictest guard. At 12 o'clock Wednesday, noon. an order was given for the troops to move down the river front, Mai Allen having learned in the meantime that the mob from Ashland was on its way to Catlettsburg. The troops were marched down to the river front, the prisoners marching with the guard de tail and with 2 companies to assist in guarding them to the wharf boat. The remainder of the troops were posted on a hill which cotnmarids the river rront, The troops had hardlv been placed in position when the train arrived from Ashland closelv packed with a mob. This train stopped in full view of the artillery and McCrary Guards. A del egation of 29 or :30 men approached the troops and called for Major Allen. He advanced towards them about one hun dred yards in front of the troops. The committee, representing the mob, said to him that they came from Ashland for the purpose of taking Neal and Craft peaceaby if possible, if not then by force; that they were 2,000 strong and could overpower the troops easily Their demand was peremptorily re fused and Major Allen stated that the troops came simply for the purpose of upholding the law and in obedience to orders and not to bulldoze or impose upon the rights of any county; that they did not desire a difficulty with any body, especially with Kentuckians, and would not participate in any diluciuty unless it was forced upon them, and that if any difficulty occurred the re sponsibility for the results must rest with the mob. Ihe committee then stated that if the troops escaped from Catlettsburg with the prisoners they would be met at Ashland by at least 2,000 or 2,500 determined men, support ed by a boat containing a cannon. The interview then ended. The troops were withdrawn to the steamer Granite State under cover of the cannon which were turned toward the mob until every soldier had embarked and were then dragged down the hill and into the boat. The boat then left for Ashland with the troops and prisoners, and at the same time mob boarded thetiain and started towards Ashjand: When the boat arrived near Ashland the train came in sight and ran along the track which skirts the river front at i hat point at the same speed as the boat, A great number of shots were fired from the train at the soldiers but the range wag too great and the shots were not responded to bv the troons. the commanding officer ordering that no shot be fired until necessary as a means or oerense. just as the Granite State appeared the Ashland ferry boat con taining, it is supposed, about 100 men, armed with muskets, rifles and shot guns, steamed from land and approach- cu mo uiauiui pLute, wiiisiiiug a signal io siop wnicn tne latter did not heed but passed on.

The command was then given for the troops to return the lire which they did, and a quick and spirited conflict. ensued for over five minutes. The smoke stack and hurricane deck of the ummic oiaiB were wen perrorated by bullets from the mob. Four or fi vp nni. diers were wounded, though none seri ously, i ne nre or tne troops was direct- ea entirely at tqe lerry boat containing the mob and not at the crowd collected on the bank which was very large and apparently very enthusiastic in uphold ing the mob on the ferryboat.

From the Home end Democrat. Editor Home Democrt :AUow one who is as much interested in Charlotte as any one in the State, and wrho is a mutual friend of both the Charlotte Dailies, to say that the Cn a iilotte Oe seiivek is right in demanding the re moval of Mr. Haas as Freight Agent of the Richmond & Danville Railroad. Our merchants will have difficulties about freights as long as Haas is allow ed to fix rates, and it is useless to talk about getting fair rates while it is his province aud duty to make rates for North Carolina towns. It seems to one who has not engage d in the controver sy, that it is useless to expect justice for Charlotte while Haas remains in pos session of the rates. Therefore, I re peat, the Observer is exactly right in suggesting the removal of Haas, and our people ought to sustain that de mand, and then also demand fair rates from the higher authorities of the rail roads. t The writer of this. you know, is a friend to the R. & D. K. B., and all oth er Railroads that benefit the country, and he is also an old and well tried friend of Charlotte and all North Car olina towns and cities, and therefore feels it his rioOir. to sav a word as to the right course to pursue to promote mu- tuai interests.

BURG ESS "NICHOLS, PROHIBITION IN IOWA. B. S MILt-KB. W. B. JOHNSTON. A T.esal Decision Which Pronounces the Law Defective. Davenport, Iowa, Nov. l. On Thursday last the case of Koeuler- Knehler and L.aue vs. Jotin ill was tried in the District Court here, Judge Walter T. Haves presiding. The case was reallv brought as a test of the con stitutional prohibitory amendment passed bv the popular vote last June. Judge Hayes to day decided that the amendment has not been legally made a part of the State Constitution, chiefly on the ground that the journals of the Legislature do not contain the Act in full on their pages, and do not contain the yeas and nays taken upon the same, and that according to the journals it was not the same act which passed both Houses. Strong Words to Young Wopaen. The Hev. J. Ilervev Beale. of the First Presbyteritm church of Philadel phia, said some plain words to young women on Sunday. He. condemned vigorously tight lacing and tiglit shoes, lie said that many came to hear him preach whose feet and forms were so compressed that they could not hear the Word of God. He condemned the habit of gossipping in these words:- "When women are together they breathe observations not affecting the worth of another wom?.n, but her ap pearance. Something is always wrong. This one has no pedigree. That one is foolish because she talks too much. Another has hair of a wrong color, or a nose that has been put on wrong. Some open their mouths too much when they talk, and others have bangs too large. They are always sneering, and cannot pass one another on the street without making unpleasant re marks.'' This last is a very sweeping assertion. Formerly of 1 harlotte, N.
