A special deputy yesterday arrived in this city, having in charge Messrs. John Pi ttslar and J. T. Shepherd, twq citizens 1 of respectable connee tions, hailing from Anson county. They were duly arraigned before the Unitd states Qommissioi'r in this citv to ants w.er "the -c harge of illicit distUIirig ajot of, crooked fcppafUtus nojessjutforrihiSKkindot work haV ing beenfduhd in their jHjssetsibnit is charged. After hearing th(fcjeyj deuce in ;the case, " the commissrbner required each of the two men to enter into a bond of-$200 for their appearance at the next term 6f the United States court. Shepherd gave bond. Presslar failed to secure the necessary ' bond and was sent to jail, but it is thought that he will succeed in giving the bond to day and secure his release from prison. Both men are said to be respectable citizens of Anson, and their arrest upon such a charge was a great surprise to their friends. ater Eggs. The preparation of Easter eggs has of late years become a work of art. The fashion this year, is to select large white eggs and boil them hard in perfectly clear water. When cold they are hand painted in water colors, butterflies, lilies, rp63s, &e.. with Baster greetings in old English let -ters. A way that is more artistic is to take a brownish white egg and en grave a few pictures on j&with a pen knife.. The inside of an egg may be remoVed if a pin is pushed through the shell and the hole carefully enlarged to twice the size. Unless great care is taken the egg will break. The shell is then painted or etched, and an elastic passed through the egg, with large- ribbon bows at either end. Very dainty Easter gifts are little boxes of satin or plush, in the form of an egg, that open and disclose two bottles of cologne. A large bow of ribbon is nlaced on one end, and the outside is frequently hand-painted.- Tnttl ink bottles, scent bags, work boxes and bonbon boxes are all shown in the form of eggs. Dark blue, pur Dle and erreen velvet are seen in the former., while the bonbon boxes are lares and' works of art. Some are ornamented by a natural call a or ascension lilv. while others have h&nd-nainted clusters of flowers? bunches of artificial cherries and the like.

A DAHVILLE OVATION To Senator TaiceAi Enthusiastic Reception-is Accorded the Senator, Who Makes a Speech and Is Invited to a Champagne Sapper. Senator Tance is now enjoying a brief rest from his labors at Wash ington and is recreating in the moun tarns of Western North Carolina. Oil his trip from Washington, he was met by a great crowd at Dan ville. Va who made him deliver a speech and then gave him a fine sup per. Mr. Powhatan Bouldin, editor of the Danville Times, sends us an advance sheet giving an account of the Senator's reception, to let our readers see how greatly the Virgiu ians appreciate Senator Vance. The ovation at Danville was given on the 8thinst. The Times says: "At the proper time a committee of reception composed of fifteen gentlemen, pro ceeded to the depot preceded by the Danville Grays, in their handsome uniforms, and followed by a large crowd of citizens. On the arrival of the train, the dis tinguished guest made his appearance amidst the applause of an immense multitude. He was introduced by Col. E. B. Withers in the most ap propriate manner, his auditors giv ing unmistakeable evidence of their appreciation. Wc cannot give a literal report of Senator Vance's speech ; but he ex pressed his surprise and gratification at this manifestation, on the part of tne people ot JJanviiie, or apprecia tion of what he had done. Spoke of the kind relations which had always existed between Virginians and North, Carolinians. Touched upon the in vestigation at Washington. Said it was the last time the outrage mill would be put in motion, and assured the white people of Danville that they would be tully vindicated. Referring to the colored people, he said, there would be no trouble with them were it not for mean white men who lead them; but, who always deserted them in the hour of danger. Senator Vanee spoke m his usual f elicitious style, having always some thing amusing; and never, we ven ture to say, did he face an audience so universal! v in accord with what he waB saying. His taking the place1 which Mahone or Riddleberger ought to have filled, defending the honor of Uid Virginia, and doing it so well, had won the hearts of the people of Danville ; and therefore, we may safely say, that every one of the men who stood before him not only admired hirri, but loved him. iiavmg epoicen about 15 .minutes, he closed, and was invited to supper, in company with as many friends as could b conviently accommodated at the table. About 15 minutes, were spent around the social board ; when the conductor made his ap pearance, saying: "ttmes up, a hasty, but hearty shaking of hands followed and our guest was off. As his nobie face appeared through the windows of the sleeping car, the crowd gave one more shout for Vance, which ended the joyous occasion. Alntaal Baildingand Loan Associatioa. The third annual meeting cf this association was held last Tuesday evening in the maj or's court room. Tbe meeting was organized by calling Minor W. W. C lemming to tne ctiair and uppointing A. G. Brenizer secre tary, lieportii. 01 the secretary and treasurer and the executive commit tee were read snd adopted.' From these reports we learn that the affairs of the association are in a most sat isfactory condition. The capital at present is $74,039.79, invested in seventy-eix mortgages and six stock notes. The net profits since the com mencement have been $8,807.54, which, divided among 1,662 shares, gives $5.30 gain per, share, and this, added to the amount paid in, viz: thirty-nine dollars, makes each share worth forty-four dollars and thirty cents. The following directors were elect ed for the ensuing year : J. L.Brown, A. Burwell, W. W. Flemming T. L. Vail, J. G. Shannonhouse, J. H. Car son, P. H. Phelan, Geo. W. Bryan, C. N. G. Butt and A. G. Brenizer A very important change in the plan of tbe association was proposed and discussed. Th. association, just entering upon its fourth year, finds a preponderance of hon borrowers among its members, and in order to extend its usefulness, and at the same time enlarge its operations, it proposed to open a new class or series of stock on what is called the "perpetual plan." The advantages and benefits of this plan were presented in the remarks that were made by some of the members present : 1st. It will provide borrowers for the money for an indefinite period. 2d. The association will be perpetu ated; thus continually aiding uv building up the city. 3d. The capital will be increased, thus reducing the ratio of expenses. 4th. The new members who desire to borrow will have a large fund to draw upon and will not have to wait long for the money. 6. The effect of compound interest, which has already been appreciable, in which the new members would participate. 7. The opportunity of transferring loans from the old to the new series, thus either reducing the debt and onne0nnpnt.lv t.hA wfeklv Davments. or the seeuritv of an additional amount for present use. The members were pleased with the plan and a committee consisting of Capt. A Burwell, Col. J. L. Brown, R. B. Alexander. H. O. Ecclea and A.

Tie Emigration from Chester. ' The number of people coming up from Chester. S. C. to eo into busi ness in Charlotte duringhe past few months is something remarkablev Since January there has - been about a dozen 'accessions to our 'business eircles f romChester. Most of the new comers brought their families and have bought homes, expecting to east their lots with us in the future. An incomplete list of the Chester delega tion is given below : is. t. Uorder, dealer m liquors. W. F. Buchanan, cigar . manufac turer. EL C Rothrcck, clerk at Wittkowsi ky & Baruch s. J ohn Cam, dealer in liquors. W. H. Neel, dealer in liquors. Benjamin David, clothing. David Goble, dealer in liquors. Robert Goble, dealer in liquors. James Brown, dealer in liquors. The preponderance of the liquor- men is doubtless due to the tact that Che ter recently adopted the prohi bition law and these dealers have come to Charlotte as an inviting field. There are now seven or eight other Chester men in Charlotte prospecting for a business opening, and they tell us that there are number's now in Chester watching for a chance to come to Charlotte and get in busi ness. Besides the new comers men tioned above, there are several Ches ter people' who have been doing 'busi ness among us for years and who; cannot properly be classed as new citizens. A Building for the Lawyers. Work : watf yesterday commenced on a big enterprise for the Charlotte lawyers. In rear of the court house a large two story brick building is to be erected for 'their especial use. On the first floor, in the centre, will be large room for use as a library. with office doors opening into it on ail sides The second floor will be used as a court room. Th building is to be erected by Col. John L. Brown, from whom the association of lawyers will rent it. The new building is to take the place of an old wooden structure that bears the honor of being the oldest house in Charlotte. Tt fnrmp.rlv . ctond tin Tryon street, where the Brawley building now stands, opposite the Charlotte Hotel. It was moved back in 1852 to make room for the erection of the Brawley building, and has since been occupied as a tenant house. Col. Brown says that parties here can trace the old house back one hundred and twenty years. Workmen yes terday commenced tearing the hon - ored old landmark down, and it will soon be reduced to smoke and-ashes; for its timbers will make good fuel Col. Brown is destroying more old eyesores and building up more im provements lately than any man in the city. He dof s not seem to pos sess that veneration and esteem for old buildings that some of our citizens seem possessed of, and can even tear them down and haul them away without shedding a solitary tear.

Hft savs there is "entirely too much doerma and doctrine about coneres sional management of the tariff.

Jar. BrewsteiMtms decided, enys the report telegraphed from Washington, tnat bicycles are to be included in the category of personal effects, , when they accompany passengers ; from abroad, and must be admitted under such circumstances without the pay ment or any qutx ; if a bicycle is a personal ' effect within the. meaning of the .customs laws, why is not huggy- a personal effect also ?, Size can hardly ba:the criterion. Many a Saratoga trunk takes up more room than a wagon bodyland yet nobody doubts that tne trunk is a personal effect.

All in his opinion will end in smoke. An attempt to reduce horizontally is like ' paring off tho whole surface off a statute because' one of the lower limbs is a quarter of an inch too long. His idea of tariff , reform would be to make the free list as large as possible ; import all the necessities of life free, but tax luxuries as high as they will bear. Civil-service reform must be accom plished, if at all, from the top, in Gen. Butler's opinion. When busi ness men of the country select their employees by competitive examina tion, he has no doubt they will ap prove a similar system ia the national Government." The Ceateanial ot Methodism.

Neither the programme for that occasion nor the list of delegates appointed to it by the bishops of the Southern' Methodist Church will be made public until after the meeting of the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which is to held in Philadelphia during th month of May.
