Our neighbor the Skylantl Herald requests "available newspapers" to publish the call for the republican congressional convention.

Cleveland, and Fowle. To-night at 8.30 o'clock the dem- 9 ocracy of Asheville township will assemble at the court house for the purpose of, organizing a democratic campaign club. Due notice of this fact has been given, both by the press of this city and by the gentlemen composing the membership soliciting committee appointed by Capt. Mcs Loud. There is no earthly reason why a large and enthuiastic attend ance shall not be had, and there is no cause why the meeting should not be harmonious and in unity. A mema bership of almost five hundred solid, staunch democrats can easily be se cured in Asheville, provided the proper spirit is manifested by those who are in accord with the great and incontrovertible principles of that party which has been since the forma tion of the government "of the peo ple, by the people, for the people." Turn out, gentlemen, and by perfect organization, and unceasing labor, help to defeat forever radical misrule and ruin in Buncombe, North Carolina and the American Union. Call for Republican Congressional Convention. As the Citizen has a large num-i ber of readers among the republi cans oi thi3 congressional district we copy the following call from the Skylavid.

Saxton Brought to the City TTnder Arrest bast Night, United States deputy marshal H. F. Williams, of Chester, S. C, ar rived in the city on the 5:08 train from the east yesterday afternoon, having in charge Win. A. Saxton, a colored man, who has been wanted by the. federal authorities in this city since the 15th ot November, 1886, to answer a charge of robbery of the Asheville postofficev The facts connected with the case are about as follows : - On the 15th of November, 1886, deputy marshal James HJHamptorj arrested, Saxton 'near the postofSce in -this city for abstracting mail matter from different boxes, by means of duplicate keys. The boxes in the postoffice at that time were common safe-lock boxes, and were very simple and easy to get into. Several parties in Asheville had frequently failed to receive certain letters which they were almost cer tain had been mailed to them from elsewhere. The persons suffering from these depredations were in every instance business men, prin cipal among whom was C. E. Gra ham, Jisq., whose losses were ex ceedingly heavy. A postoffice in spector was sent to Asheville by the department, and through his efforts the robbery was fixtd upon Saxton, anil he was arrested, as above stated. Coming on up the street Saxton violently snatched himself loose from the officer and disap peared in the darkness at the mouth of Eagle street. A vigilant search was made for him, but no clue as to his whereabouts could be ob tainetl. After several weeks, boiv ever, the authorities obtained infor mation to the effect that he was then in Knox ville, Tenn.' Imme diately upon receipt of this nev3 detective W. H. Deaver left lor that ciy to arrest Saxton and bring him back here for trial. But the fugi tive was too sharp for the detec tive and again escaped capture. The next heard ol" Saxton was that he was in Asheville, and hiding in the woods surrouLd rig the city and coming in at night to secure some thing to eat. An attempt was made to capture him again, but he got away just fifteen minutes before Of ficer Hampton reached the place where he was hiding. Nothing more was heard Of Saxton until two weeks ago, although the authorities have been tracking him by telegram and letter ever since his second escape in Knoxville. Deputy mar shal Herden, of Greenville, S- C, telegraphed to deputy marshal Hampton that he had Saxton spotted, and also requested that the capias and indictment be forwarded to him at once. This was done, but in the meanwhile Saxton had 'skipped out," and the next heard of him he had turned up in Ches ter, S. C, with a long string of aliases as long as the moral law. He was quite a sporting darkey in the latter place, and was living like a fighting cock among his race. Dep uty marshal Herden immediately forwarded the papers, a bench war rant lor Saxton included, to deputy marshal Williams, of Chester, who arrested Saxton immediately upon the reception of the warrants. Saxlon wafl taken to the jail last night, where he will remain until the November term of the United States couri. The authorities have a strong case against .him. The search for Saxton has been a long and tedious one, but the officers here had never given up the hope of his capture. ABOUT KNOXVIIiliE. What Chief of Police Atkins Had to Say About its Lighting System. Chief of Police Atkins, of Knoxt ville, Tenn., who has been visiting his brothers here, left for his home on yesterday. We learned from him some yery interesting information in regard to bis growing city. It has now a pop ulation of nearly 40,000 inhabitants and is increasing both in popula tion and business very rapidly. Its manufacturing industries are doing a great deal towards Us rapid growth, and we commend the enter prise of her people in that regard to our own citizens. It is manufactur ing that gives solid wealth and growth to all cities. It is lighted by both gas and elec tricity. There are 456 eas lamps in use during the dark hours of the night according to the Philadelphia diagram. $1.75 per month. These lamps are also . lighted on cloudy nights, if the clouds are such as iu any manner to affect the light of the moon. It has 24 electric lichts which burn all night everv night in the year. For ten of these the city pays forty cents per night, and for the other fourteen the sum of thirty cents per nitrht is paid. We horJe to see this city well lighted in the future, and with a system of lights that will enable us to have well distributed lights all the dark hours of the night. Having both gas and electric light plants in our city, we see no reason why this should not be done as is done in Knoxville, by a judi cious use of both systems. And we esneciallv ask the consideration of our city fathers of these important suggestions. e Swain County' Democratic Conven--" . tion. . At a meeting of the democrats of Swain county, held in the court house in Charleston, on Tuesday, June 12th, on motion of Mr. J. C. Troy, Mr. W. A.

A.1 Frantsti the nomination of the candi date for the Senate to be presented by the county of Swain was first considered. Mr. J. C. Troy rose to make the nomination, and in a speech of great power and eloquence placed the name of Mr. A. H. Hayes before the convention, and there being no other nomination, the question was put by the chairman, and the nomination of Mr. Hayes was made with enthusiastic unan imity. pa the motion of Mr. A. M. Fry, the chairman appointed the follow ing delegates to the Senatorial con vention, to-wit: Messrs. A. B. Allison, T. P. Sawyer, N. B Thomp son, W. D. Morris, J. C. Troy, R. L. Lpatherwood.

Mr. Leatherwood, that this con vention do heartily endorse and rat.fy the acts of tho late State dem cnitic convention, which gave to the party a ticket and a platform which the democratic yoters of Carolina will carry by the largest majorities ever known in State election history. Mr Trov moved that this conven tion &o most cordially ondorse tbe action of the late National demo cratic convention; and the question was put and carried unanimously. On motion oi Mr. Leatherwood it was resolved that the proceedings of this meeting be sect to the Ashe ville Citizen, the Waynesville Courier, and the Franklin fYs.i, with a request that they do publish the same. On motion of Mr. Tr-y, Mr. A. H. Hayes appeared before the conven tion, and briefly acknowledged the honor conferred on him. Mr. G. S. Ferguson and Mr. Kope Elias then addressed the convention on the political situation; and the hour for the reassembling of the court having arrived, the con vention adjourned sine die. W. A. GIBSON.

Possibly the largest and best at tendance ever present at Weaver ville College was had at its annual commencement this year. The oc casion was one of more than ordi nary enjoyment, and the exercises, in every particular, were of a higher character than ever, before. The exercises began Tuesday morning, and long before the. hour for the beginning of the programme the hall was crowded with visitors, parents' of students and friends of the school; The declamations were begun with at ten o'clock, and fif teen young men entered as contest ants for the medal, which was fi nally awarded to Mr. G. L. Morgan, Hominy Creek. All of the speak ers did exceedingly weL.and all de served a medal, but unfortunate for them there was only one. Tuesday night the vocal and instrumental concert by the young ladies took place, followed by select readings and recitations. The students tak ing part in this portion of the pro gramme evinced much talent and knowledge. This department is under the management of Misses Bessie Vandiver and Jennie Nelson, the latter superintending the musi cal branch, and tho former giving her attention to instruction in elo cution. The programme reflected much credit upon theso young la dies, and the concert v.-r.s a most brilliant success. Wednesday morning the oratori cal contest for the oratory medal took place, seven young gentlemen contesting for the prize. Mr. F. Faraday Reeves was awarded the medal after much deliberation by the committee. All of the speeches were exceptionally fine, and cred itable alike to the students and the institution. The deportment medal wa& won by Mr. Willie Lee Baird, son of our countyman I. V. Baird. Mr. Haywood Morris, of Henderson county, was also awarded a medal for deportment. The Nichols essayist medal was awarded to Miss Vaughlie Carroll, whose subject, "Music," was ably, eloquently and exhaustively treated. Miss Maggie Morris, of Henderson eounty, was also awarded a medal for the second best essay, by the Faculty. The improvement medal was awarded by the Cliosophic Society to' Mr: J. T Abel, ' of Haywood. Another medal by the same society, for the same purpose, was awarded Mr. Hoke Morris, of Henderson county. Wednesday afternoon, the address before the literary societies of the institution was delivered by Rev. Dr. G. C. Rankin, of this city. It was able, instructive, and full of sound advice to young men, and their duties in life. At the conclu sion of Dr. Rankin's address quite a number of those present repaired to the parlors of thw St. Clair Hotel, where Mr. Walter W. Vandiver, of this city, gave readings and recita tions from Mark Twain and other humorous authors, much to edifica tion and pleasure of those asssmbled. President S. R. Trawick, of Weaverville College, deserves no little credit for" the energy and ability with which he has presided over the destinies of- that institution during the past year. A teacher for nearly a quarter of a century, ha has devoted himself with assiduity to his profession. We wish Weaverville College, its president aud faculty, much success and prosperity in their labors in the future. Acknowledgment.

There tore during the next 3U da vs. every article tn my Btock of Cloth ing, Hats, Gents' Furnishing Goods, Trunks and Valises, will be sold without regard to profit or marked value, but at nricea certain to force them lrom mv shelves, at a great tacrifice'JLt is trae, but at tha same time putting me in position to more than make good the loss by increas ed facilities for hand ing fall goods- It is needless to remind thinking people that this action on my part will put bo fore the public roual bargain of unqnes tioned merit in a great variety of desira ble good An opportunity like this is Raldom offered and never missed, will fill the Btore with shrewd buyers, who will find that any reasonable oner takes the goods.

Eat, President. Two Mails from the East. Another passenger train from Salisbury to Morristown. over the W. N. C. Kail Road, will be put on the line about June 24th, arriving in this city at 7:30 o'clock a.m. The Spartanburg xf -tin will have its terminus at Asheville duVvg the sum mer season, the extra passenger service rendering the former unnecessary. The people of the city ar very desirous of having two mails per day from the East, and if they will go about it right they can secure this convenience, oy having mails brought over the extra passenger t prevents a delay ot oyer twelve hours in the forwarding of mails for the West from Salisbury. Let's have the doublo mail, by all means. Tho-City Council To-Night, The meeting of the City Conncil to night, will be one of unusual interest, as many important matters will be brought before the Board of Aldermen for their consideration and action. Drs.

This petition is signed by aearly fifty of the leading citizens of the city, and there is hut little, it any doubt, but that the prayer of the petitioners will be granted. Other important matters, of which we are not at liberty to speak, will elso be presented to the Council, that will be of gi neral interest to ihe public. The new city hall projert may probably be brought up tor discussion, and it fio board of Aldermen heed the almost universal wish of the citizens of Asheville, that much needed edifice will be erected with- n a few months, at the farthest. This project is of more value and benefit to the city of Asheville, than one can marine, and we earnestly hope that tho Board will not be slow in adding this absolute necessity to the public conven- enee and credit oi the city.
