Charlotte N. C. HOW IT WORKS. As an evidence of how the much talked of civil service reform works in this State, we publish elsewhere from the Newbern Journal a letter rom Col. I, J. Young, collector of the fourth internal revenue district, removing E. R. Dudley, colored, deputy, at the demand of J. E. O'Hara, colored, member of congress from the second district. In reply I Dudley writes a sarcastic, scourging etter to Collector Young, sympa- j thizing with him for being the tool and slave of J. E. O'Hara, declining to avail himself of the kind permis sion to resign, informing Mr. Young that he will hear from Dudley again when he (Young) pops his head up for congress, and concluding by informing him that he will send copy of his letter to the Presi dent, to give him an idea of how beautifully civil service reform works in North Carolina. Young admits that there was no objection to Dudley as an officer ; that he performed his duty well and faith fully; the sole ground of removal being to placate J. E. O'Hara, colored member of congress, who desired to avenge himself on Dudley because Dudley opposed his nomination for congress, and afterwards voted against him and op; osed his election. He did so, he says in his letter to Young, because O'Hara was a man of notorious public record, and because he was indebted for his so-called nomination to a mob of his adherents, who took possession of the conven tion. After his election O'Hara had blood in his eye for Dudley, whipped Young into his bidding, and the re sult was the summary removal of Dudley, and the unmanly and hypo critical letter from Young. Young cringes to O'Hara because he is a member of congress and his friend ship may be worth something, while he does injustice to Dudley, whom he acknowledges to be an unobjectiona ble officer, but whose friendship. being a mere private citizen, is not so valuable to the aspiring Yourig. As to Col. Young, collector, or E. R. Dudley, deputy, individually, the people of this State care but little or take but little interest, but as an il lustration of the hollow mockery of civil service reform in this State the course pursued by Young towards Dudley is outrageous and contempti ble, showing not only Young's disre gard for the law, but putting him in the miserable attitude of a pliant tool in the hands of an irate negro con gressman, who sought vengeance upon a better man for daring to op pose him. THE NEXT PRESIDENT. An Ohio politician, in Washington City recently, startled a newspaper reporter by the information that the next President of the United States was stopping at the Ebbitt House. "Who is he?" asked the reporter. "Allan G. Thurman," was the re- Sonse. "I regard his nomination as most assured," continued the Ohio an, "and he will be elected without doubt. Where else can the Demo crats go? The Catholics cry out against McDonald, Bayard hails from too small a State, Cleveland isn't heavy enough and Thurman just fills the bill. He ean carry Ohio next year, and I look upon him as the next President." "May he not be elected Senator?" "No, he will not enter the field. He does not want the place, and he has far too much sense to mix him self" up in the factional fight over it. 4 'Is Thurman's health good ?" "Yes, it is," was the emphatic reply- The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette is mad because at a Democratic jollifi cation meeting at Columbus over their victory, the mention of "Vallan digham's name met with loud ap plause, and relieves itself thus : "If Vallandigham was a patriot, then every soldier who fought lor the Union, and every citizen who sup ported the war, was a murderer. Is this what Democratic victories mean? Shall the loyal men of the country be forced to bow to those who canonize such as Vallandigham? Is Jeff Davis to be exalted, while the memory of Abraham Lincoln and the dead Union soldiers is to be spit upon! If Val landigham was a patriot. Lincoln was a traitor." This is slushy nonsense. It was the habit during war days to denounce every Democrat who objected to the arbitrary and unconstitutionaLpro ceedings of;'., the party in power as a traitor, " and for this Vallandigbam was arrested and sent through the Confederate lines. But he passed through the Confederacy, took, a ressel and went to Canada, thence to Ohio; in spite of the order of expul sion, and ran for Governor, and had it not been for the army vote would have beet lledect1; IiKe was atraator why didn'f tlkgoyer had banisbett hia arrest binf onibis FALSE PROPHETS. When tariff reduction was under discussion by the last Congress the Republicans as a rule fought the re ductions proposed and favored by the Democrats, alleging that it would cut down the revenue of the government to such an extent as to cripple it and make it unable to meet its current ob ligations, The reductions that were made were made after a hard fight. In spite of all the evil prophecies that had been indulged in to scare off the advocates of reduction money still continues to pour into the treasury in superfluous abundance, the custom receipts in the past four months be ing only $7,000,000, less than for the corresponding period last year. This shows that the prophets' of evil either didn't know what they were talking about or that they were purposely trying to humbug somebody. Philadelphia Record: Mr. Fred Douglass is very greatly but need lessly alarmed concerning the effect : of the Supreme court's civil rights 1 decision upon the "seven millions" of colored people in the United States. The very number which he cites ought to be powerful enough to dis arm his fears. With ballots in their fists the seven millions are able to take ample care of their civil and political rights. If they do not it is their own fault. There are laws more potent for their protection than acts of Congress or decisions of the Su preme court. An bid gentleman recently died in France at the age of 70. For fifty years he kept a careful log book showing the liquor he consumed. It footed up 127,827 pints of wine, 109,- 566 glasses of absinthe and 219,132 glasses of spirits. There was no need of embalming the remains. The Asheville Citizen says the famous Ducktown copper mines have been sold to an English company for $600,000. Change of Standard Time. Moston Advertiser. In accordance with the vote of the general time convention of railroads at Chicago last week, Sunday, No vember 12, has been selected for the date of changing the running time of the trunk lines and the Western rail roads to the new standard. Professor Edward C. Pickering, director of Harvard college observatory, on Sat urday sent a note to the Boston fire commissioners, in which, after in forming them of the action of the Chicago convention, h says. "As surances have been given by the rail roads leading out of Boston that they will adopt the system if the Boston time ball shall be dropped by the ob servatory at 12 o'clock (noon), ac cording to the new standard. The general adoption of this standard time will bring the minute hands of time-pieces all over the country into coincidence with each other, and with those of the chronometers used by navigators to indicate Greer wich time. This uniformity will be secured without producing a disagreement of much more than half an hoar be tween the time in use at any place and its local time. The observatory has been enabled by the letter from you above mentioned to announce to the railway convention that all the public time in Boston would conform to that of the railways, and thus to place the city of Boston and the ob servatory in the position of pioneers in the movement to secure unif ormity between public and railway time. As Sunday, November 12, is the date which has been selected for the change of time by the trunk lines and the Western lines of rail, I take pleasure in informing you that on and after noon of that day the time signals used by the observatory will coincide with the minute and second of Green wich mean time. The hour is to be 15 minutes 44.5 seconds later than the corresponding hour of Boston mean time, and exactly five hours later than that of Greenwich.. The sarrie hour will be used in Canada, through out the Provinces of Quebec and On tario, m New England, in tne Miaaie States (except the western part of Pennsylvania), and in the Southern States of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North and South Carolina. In reply the board state that on the above date and thereafter the noon blow on the bells and gongs connected with the fire alarm office will be struck in conformity to the new time as furnished by the observatory, and also that tne public clocks will be ad iusted to correspond with the same. A Yonng Miss Who Was Scared to Death. Portland Advertiser. Miss Lizzie Bell, daughter of Ben jamin F. and Clara A Stevens, died in Livermore Center, recently under peculiar circumstances. Her age was 13 years. Lizzie was employed in a box factory at Richmond's mills, covering the little boxes turned there. One morning a basket of boxes was turned upon her bench. She put her hands in to sift the saw dust from , them, and discovered something which she took hold of and brought to light. To her great horror it was a large spotted snake. She was speechless for a while, but at length revived and said, -'That awful Dig snake." She kept about for several weeks after with the horior ef that snake ever before her. She finally took her bed and became deli rous. Her chief talk was the snake. It seemed ever in her bed or around her. She did not recognize her father or mother, and her sufferings were heart rending. She lay in this state ten weeks and then was stricken with typhoid f ever.Jwhich terminated fatal- A Frontier Story The newest story from the mines in New Mexico is from Socorro, where they tell of a miner wnose Bible fell over a precipice while he was dozing.

The latest nihilist proclamation is being extensively circulated. It demands that the Czar summon representa tives of the Russian people and asks full amnesty, freedom of the press, freedom of speech and the right to hold public meetings as the only means 01 . preventing a revolution. Vengeance is threatened if these de mands are disregarded. More Earthquakes. Pesth, Oct. 26. Shocks of earth quake were felt Wednesday in Agram and m several districts of western Croatia.

Senators Hampton and Bailer on the Civil Rights Decision. In regard to the recent civil rights decision of the Supreme court, Sena tor Wade Hampton tninfcs it wnl practically have no effect on the rela tions of the white and colored people in the South. He says : ' 'The colored people have been put on the same footing, politically and legally, as the whites. All their rights as citizens have been secured and guaranteed. No law can or should fix or deal with social distinctions which have been and always will be regulated by society and public opinion. In a re- Jmblic, where all are equal betore tne aw, the position that every citizen occupies depends on education, abili ty, and, above all, on personal charac ter. Thus the decision of the court, while it will not, I trust, dispose the Southern whites to be overbearing toward the blacks, will tend to spur the latter to greater efiorts to make themselves good citizens." In regard to the policy the States should porsue toward thenegroes,oenator Hampton says: '"Accord to tne colored people cheerfully all the rights bestowed on them by law ; place before them all means by which they can be educated up to their responsibility as citizens ; let them feel that the protecting arm of the law is over them ; aid them in their efforts to improve themselves, and show them that we are their truest friends. " Senator Butler agrees substantially with Hampton as to the proper treatment of the negroes, and the proper course for them to pursue to secure the fullest enjoyment of all their rights; suggesting that had this whole matter been left to the regula tion of the several States after eman cipation, the country would have been spared all the troubles resulting from the revolutionary force bills of the reconstructs period, and that the Southern whites, understanding the character and necessitis of the ne groes, were better able to deal with them in a liberal spirit than outside fanatics. A Chance for Inventive Gemns. BaUioay Age. A prominent master ' F mechanic asserts that a locomotive drawing a tram of six coaches and burning soft coal throws out from forty to fifty bushels of sparks in a run of a hundred miles. nis indicates tne annoyance and danger arising from the non-use of sparks-arrests, and every traveler is reminded that there is still room for inventive genius in the direction of diminishing this evil. It is claimed by some that the use of the extended smoKe-box iur nishing a place of t deposit for the sparks, insures economy in ruei, cones, netting, smokestacks, etc., while giving more free and regular steaming qualities, preventing fires and. avoiding dirt and danger to the train from flying sparks. The saving of as much as 20 per cent in fuel has been claimed for the extended smoke box compared to the old diamond stack and hit pipe. The Cacoannt as an Article of Food.
