Charlibton, Sept. 22 The day has passed quietly, the streets presenting an unnsoal scene of activity. t The ehief subjeot of conversation was the preposteroos prediction of Wiggins,; of a new ; earthquake the 25th. This undoubtedly has caused alarm and requires 'prompt contradiction; as the nerves of the people are overstrained already.

Early this morning the streets were, thronged with thousands. on their way thither.

D. re Kartbqwake Bboeka. The earthquake shocks at Charleston Tuesday morning were felt in this State. At Wilmington two distinct shocks of earthquake were felt during Monday night, one about 1:30 o'clock, and the oiber about 4:3U. There was a dis- tihot shook of an earthquake there at 5:20 a. m. Tuesday. It caused some of the clocks in the city to stop and awoke a good many oitiiens, the lie view says, causing considerable alarm with some Numbers of Charlotte s citizens were aroused soon after 5 o'clock Tuesday morning by the well remembered sensa tion of an earthquake shook, which, fiom all reports, must have been as se vere any felt sinoe the memorable night of the 31st of last August.' Several oiti- Lseus of the county reported having felt the shock quite sensibly. roDcraMloaal Appointments. Hon. James W.

IT NOMINATES A VUIX JUDICIAL TICKET. At 12 o'clock the convention as sembled in Metropolitan Hall. It was a small body, about two-tniras of its members being white. Same well known republican veterans were of the num ber. The body was called to order by J. C. L Harris, Eq , Mr. F. M. Sor rell acting as secretary. He appointed a o:mmittee on credentials. Ho was a member of this committee and with the other members composing it at once re tired. During this time the convention and the spectators chatted. In fifteen minutes the committee returned and re reported that of the 96 counties in the State 54 were represented, with 146 votes, a majority of the 240 votes al lowed the entire State. A committee on permanent organisation was, on mo tion of Robert M. Douglas, appointed to consist of one member from eaon con gressional distriot. Chairman Harris made the following appointments to constitute.this committee: A. T. Davis, Alfred Lloyd, Stewart JUlison, It. SO.. Douglas, Arch. BradytiH. J. C. Cham bers, W. C. Coleman, J. nomas U. han dler. ... PKBMANINT OVTICIKS This committe through Mr. Douglas, its chairman, made the following re port: For permanent, chairman, James E Boyd; F. H. Winston, Daaiel Pat rick, George Z French, J. H. Harris, Charles Hester, W. C. Coleman, H. C. Cowles, L N. Jenkins, John G. Heap, vice-presidents; F. M. Sorrell, John C. Dancy, secretaries. CHAIRMAN BOYD 8 SP1X0H. On motion tof Msj. M. A Bledsoe, the report was adopted. Chairman Boyd took his position and was introduced by the temporary chairman. He returned his thaoks, saying the convention was composed of the honest and true repub licans. Heretofore there had been in terests to subserve, selfish interests, but . a m . now this was not so, lor there was no publio patronage to be distributed. He said that the republican party was a party for the Union, a fact in which democrats and republicans should alike rej ;ice. He said that it was the party of a free ballot and a fair count. If that had been the rule heretofore a mug wump President would not now be in the White House. He spoke of the at tempt of certain republicans in the btate to disrupt the party. These traitors are led by Dr. Mott, ex-chairman of the executive committee, fie said that Mott in his card had said the harshest things about the d ni Derate and that the demo cratic preen had not denied his ao cusa Lions and slanders. He said that dcmoorals had claimed that when the republican party went out of office it would ceso to exist, but said these people would find that the republican Sarty had plenty of life. He said the emocratic party was one of promisee before the election and of failure to keep those premises after the election. He said that no relief had come. Instead of red-legged republican grasshoppers, there were democratic blue-bottles, to disturb the people. All they have done is to put in democrats in the plaoes of the modest republicans. He said that congressmen were at work around the treasury department seeking plaoes for their relatives, partners and henchmen He said that while district attorney his heart had melted at the 1 persecution of the people for violations of the revenue laws, but that the democrats had sinoe they came in far exceeded in harshness anything' done by the republicans He said that now the inter nal revenue laws weie not distasteful to the average demo cratic politician. He spoke of civil ser vice and said that the democrats didn't want any civil service ; all they wanted was office. He spoke of the failure of the North Carolina congressmen to do anything whatever towards repealin the internal revenue. His people ha voted for democratic congressmen in the hope and belief that the latter would keep their promises and abolish the in ternal revenue system'. He attacked the democrats for their fiasco in failing to pass the Blair bill, which their orators had promised should be passed. He said the democratie committee had strangled the bill. He went on again to speak of the dissensions among republicans in the state. He eaid the late executive com mittee by refusing to call a convention had exceeded its authority. He said the republicans were holding together as solidly aa in lso4, and many demo crats were coming in. No one heard of republicans leaving their party, while from the ; democratie party there were many bolters. The democratic party wad. he declared, the party of greed and hunger, lie spoke of rings and Baid that a ring of three men had held the liberties of the republican party. He Baid that Mott elaimed that Wheeler and Keogh had leased him the . a- republican party in North Carolina and that he did not intend to give up his lease. "We will show him whether he will or not," said Mr. Boyd. He went on to claim that the republican party was the party of the laboring man. He spoke of oonviot labor, and said the pen itentiary was nlled with "unfortunate victims to democratic courts," as Dr Mott said in his address. He charged the the Btate bad given a railway labor ireo, wnen is snouia nave received a dollar a day per man. He spoke of what he termed democratic extravagance, ana saia mat since tne aemoerats came in the cost of collecting the internal revenue in this State was more than a . . . ii . i aoubie wnet it aaa Deen ror years and years under republican rule He said the democratic party was many faoed and did not have the confidence of the people. . He said the intelligent people did not uxe a mugwump presv dent, nut wan tea a mau ox some pro WW m 1 . nounoed views, ne spoke or the ool- ored vote, saying it should be intelli gent. He did not wish the colored voters to support the republican party because it was the republican party, but to vote as American citizens, but always to remember that the republican party had saved the negro and elevated the white free laborer. OOMMITTEXS. Mr. J. C. L Ha-ria made a motion for the appointment of a committee of nine upon resolutions by the chair. This was adopted. The ohair appointed the following : J. 11. Harris, Victor Dookery, John S. Dancy, H. J. Cham bers, J. H. Hardin, Tweed, W- C. Smith, Lloyd and J. H. Young. Upon Mr. Harris motion a commit tee of nine was also raised, to prepare a plan of organization,- as follows : J. D. White, Brady, Jenkins, Staunton, J. H Harris, Molver, Hunt, William son and 8. P. Cook. TALK ABOUT JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS. A motion was made by Mr. Candler, of Buncombe, for the appointment of a oommittee of twelve to consider the matter of the selection of candidates for justioes of the supreme court , and for judges of the superior court. Jtlfn C. Dancy said the report of the oommittee on resolutions should first voice its ideas in the matter. Later, too, there would be more delegates present. John S. Leary said, that there was some doubt whether it was best to make suoh nominations. John H. Williamson said it was best to decide whether suoh nomi nations were to be ma-ie or not. Maj. Bledsoe said the vote on the raising the oommittee would settle the question as to the election of a tioket for the su preme oourt and superior courts. John o. Leary did not like this matter to be left to the oommittee, to have mat ters cut and dried. He favored indi vidual action. James H. Harris thought this question now premature, but fa vored the raising of - the oommit tee on Mr. Candler s motion. R M. Douglas moved as an amend ment that the committee should first decade and recommend whether nomi nations for justioes and judges Bhould be ; made, and if thought advisable, recommend names. Maj. Bledsoe said he wished to settle the matter and therefore moved that a full judicial ticket be put in the field. Mr. Douglas said the matter hinged upon the willing ness of gentlemen to accept judicial nominations. If the oommittee's report was not thought proper the convention oohld refuse to accept it. Msj. Bledsoe said there were enough republican mem bers of ne bar from whicL to make up a ticket; men equal in all respects to the democrat io nominees. Mr. Douglas Baid there had been some correspondence with oertam gentlemen in regard to their willingness to serve as judges, and this would appear later. Finally Mr Douglas amendment, to leave to the committee the power to decide and recommend whether nominations should be made and also the power to recommend names of suitable persons was adopted The ohairman appointed the following as the oommittee of twelve, one from each judicial district : Wassom, Strayhorn, Patriok, Bledsoe, Leary, Lakey, Dancy, Heap, Jenkins, Lloyd, H. C. Davis. At 2 o clock the convention took a recess of an hour. At 3 30 the convention re-assembled Jesse F. Hoskins made a speech, eulo gising the republican party James H Harris made a similar specoh. Mr. J C. L. Harris, chairman of the oommittee On platform, reported as follows: THI PIATTOn. Resolved, 1. That we renew our allegi anoe to the republican party and reaffirm Our faith in the patriotism of its prinoi ties and declare 2. That we oppose tne aemoorauo policy of employing convict labor where ever it comes into competition with frge labor, and we declare that the result Of this policy is to degrade labor, re-- duee waires and throw honest workmen out of employment. 3 That we are heartily in favor of tne Blair educational bill and denounee the democratic House of Representa tives for their failure to pass the same, said bill having been twice passed by a republican Senate 4. That we are in favor ot protection; . m ... firstly, because we regard it as the least burdensome and most convenient means of raising the funds wherewith to de fray the expenses of the government. and, secondly, because we would will ingly extend protection, pure and simple, to every species of home manu facture, thereby encouraging nome in dustry, stimulating the circulation ot oapital, increasing the capacity for th employment of skilled labor and as ojnsequenee, oreating so much greater demand in our own markets for the products of the field. We also favor the repeal of the internal revenue system 5. That we oondemn the democratic party as a party of broken promises beoause it has utterly failed to redeem any one of its numerous pledges. 6 That we oppose the present system of keeping up the publio roads, and de mand that the road laws shall ne amended so as to bear equally upon property and labor. 7. That we oppose tne present system of oounty government, as unrepublioan, - . . - .1 - 1 A J unfair, ana suDversive oi tne ngnra oi the people, and therefore demand its repeal. " . . .a M . 1 1 .a 9. That the action oi tne aemocratic party through the legislature in passing' upon the people without consulting the HWB auu ClUUrvlUg uio uv-ivuw bjbwiu people at the baiiot-oox upon tne over throw of a oustom which has exiBted, from the first settlement of this ooun try, is undemocratic, anti-republican, and no suoh radioal ohange should be made in the customs of the people with out first obtaining their assent at the ballot-box. 9. That the action of the repub lican State oommittee the 10th of August last, in failing to call a State convention, and their oontinued refusal to do so, was in violation of the plan of organization, and by such action the naid Stale oommittee ceased to exist, and is no longer the offieial head of the republican party of North Carolina. 10. That we demand a free ballot and a fair count. 11. That we cordially invite all citi zens, without regard to former politioal tffiliations, who favor the principles herein f et forth, to join with us in our i ffortB to enforce the same in the admin istration of State and national affairs THI JUDICIAL NOMINEES. Maj. M. A. Bledsoe, as chairman of the oommittee on the judicial tioket, made a report, as follows : . .rf ; . m m . w e report in uvor ot nominating a full judicial ticket and recommend the following gentlemen as the republican candidates for the judioiary : i Supreme oourt, chief justioe, W. P. Bynum; as sociate justioes, John W. Albert son, R. riuxton; for superior oourt judges, third distriot, B. F. Bullock; fourth, T. Devereuz; sixth, D. M. Furches; eighth,; W. 8. O'B. Robinson; ninth, A. & Ho lion; tenth, Marsh (of Yancey oounty) ; twelfth, Perry A Cumming. The oommittee further reoommends that the republicans of the State vote for these gentlemen whether they accept the nomination or not. Gen. John C. Gorman moved the adoption of the report. John S. Leary stated . that he opposed the nomination of supreme court judges and as a mem ber of .the oommittee had not signed the reportj and as to those judges entered his dissent. The report of the commit tee was adopted, Leary alone voting against it. The oommittee on plan of organiza tion made its report, which makes some changes, of no special importance save as to ; oounty representation. On this there was some debate. Some op posed any tampering2; with the plat form.. Mr. Douglas explained the ohange, saying that it was to allow all republicans attending a oounty conven tion to have a vote. He said that the townships very often failed to choose delegates or attend. The amendment was therefore to make all oOunty con ventions mass conventions. Wassom moved to table tha amendments to the plan." This was lost and the commit tee s report was adopted. Uen. Gorman offered an amendment that no executive oommittee should ever hold office more than two years. James H. Harris said the present plan of or ganization covered this matter. Mr. J. . h Harris made some remarks upon the failure of the State committee to call a convention. He offered a resolution in place of that of Gen. Gorman, pro viding that the committee shall call biwCQial conventions at least sixty days before an election. Mr. Bledsoe at- taofcled Dr. Mott and hie late executive oommittee, charging it with quibbling and assuming rights and powers it did not have- There ras some debate, but Mr. Harris' amend nent was adopted. A. motion to increase the number ot del egates at large from two to five was made There was a lively debate; J. C. L. Harris said the old oommittee had eleven members and that six met here, five refusing to hold a con vention. He wanted a bigger com mittee, to widen the iiflaenoe of the oommittee and require a larger body to constitute a majority T N. Cooper was opposed to a change, saying the oommittee would be an unwieldy bod v. The motion to increase the num ber was carried. There were to be ten delegates chosen by the various con gressional districts and five from the State at large. The following were chosen as the committee: 1st district, C. C. Pool; 2d district, HrE. Davis; 3d distriot, G. C. Sour- Lck; 4th district, John H. Williamson; 5th distriot, R. M. Douglas; 6th du- trlct, W. C. Coleman; 7th distriot, n. C; Cowles; 8th distriot, W. G.

Har grove, Wassom. ; rending the election of those mem bers of oommittee, ohairman Boyd re signed and J. O. L. Harris was ohoeen to fill the vacanoy. ; The following was adopted: : Resolved, That the State committee appointed by this convention is au thorized to appoint congressional and judicial committees wherever said com mittees have gone out of existence or where said committees have refused to call conventions for the purpose - of putting in motion the party machinery; also to fill any vacanoies on the ticket. Chairman Harris made a call for $200 for expenses in printing and circulating 300,000 tickets. . ; At 6 30 the convention adjourned. 1 Among the delegates present were : jT G Candler, John G Heap, J W Har din, R M Douglas, James E Boyd, W W Jenkins, Jesse H Hoskins, M A rBledsoe.

John A Moore, R E Young, J 0 L Harris, C M Rogers. The convention was characterized by good order. The delegates were mainly from the oounties west of Raleigh. Few were from the east. A bout two- thirds were white. Chairman "Loge" Harris: was of course very prominent and worked hard. He is one of the leaders in the anti-Mott faction. T. N. Cooper is now a regular western man. Ha has moved from Iredell county to Transylvania and lives at Brevard. There, was a good deal of log-rolling all during the session. THI MIW CHAIXMAX. The executive oommittee met after the adjournment of the convention and elected Col. Tazewell L. Hargrove ohair man. No secretary was elected. Mr. J. C. L. Harris will aot in that capacity for the present. THE LAST WORD. THE RUSSIA CZAR SENDS AN ULTIMATUM TO BULGARIA, CN WHICH COUNTRY BE VBBY EVIDENTLY HAS DESIGNS. I London, Sept. 22 Gen.
