Two Aason JUes u Trouble.
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

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.
Q- Brenizer was apoointed to inves
tigate the feasibility and legality of
:the measures and report to an ad

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.

comes the announcement of a remarkable-Tulin
br ' the Attorney-
General as to what articles constitute
non-dutiable personal effects.
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. To be
sure, a busrerv differs from a bicvcla
in being pulled by a horse, but we sea
no reason why the sort of animal
that moves the thing should. ; make
any difference. ': " 1

Batler Uaeosoms Himself,
The Brooklvn Eacle publishes an
interview withGe. B f. Butr re
garding the legal-tender decision, the
tariff bill, civil service and other
topics bearing on .the coming cain
paign. Hftsays:'. fe. legal-tender
decision is but a crystalization of the
best thoughts of .the country on. the;
subject. Keeardinc the chances of'
the Morrison bill, 0en.rButler says it;
ciuiuot pass tne senate uaaerany cir-:
cumstanoes, and its passage through,
the House wuldimplv be a waste
fof time, a mere drees parade of tariff
reiormers, wno cannot even begin to
reform it. 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."

was present, and made a report of the
work accomplished by these com
mittees. H outlined the programme
that has been agreed upon, and stated
the basis of representation in the
Christmas Conference, which will be
held in Baltimore, commencing on
