To The MATOR.-fL- suppose that the citizens of Salisbury feel (a deejier concern in the condition of the public roads lead ing into town than any out-sider ean. This is perfectly natural for reasons too obvious to enumerate And j et they are very much at a loss to fijul the means for relieving the present bad condition of roads by any yalnablo improvement lust now, and proitably will not attempt! any thiug beftre spring, or until alter the rains and frexrzes are overl The severity! of the weather duriugtho jwiuter is the cause of their disorder a causo which is general in its effects on a'l red soils where much travel is made. But the time will soon be at hand when some important im provement should be undertaken, and whether the roads are within thej coro rate limits or not,; the business interests of the towii involved nre sufficieut to warrant the' active concern ot everv worthv eitizeh It is not the puipose of pose -any particular kind tne w ii ter.to. propose :auv pa of improvement, j though this question ought to be under consideration I at the present moment,! in order that all the necessary preparations inight be fully nade, ieady4for immediate action when the, more favorable time shall arrive. I do not think that the work should be delayed-until midsuinmer, when the ghmnd will have become too hard for the plow and the .road sciaperraud when the work ean only be done by the; slow Tun! costly process of the pick. I never see .this sort of thing going on that I - do not feiel out raged as si tax-payer at jso shameless a waste of public money. A pair of mules, a phnv, a road scraper arid a heavy! roller, with two or three liands j to man them, would do more and bette-r work in a day than twenty ;inen with picks mid shovels could -do in three idays. j And ye. year after year, just when thciground is hard est, we seo from ten to twenty nogro laborers -with picks and; shovels at this kind of work! in our streets. The Work done by them looks well for a fewj days; but who would believe, to view llieistreets now, that tuur or hve nuuuicd dollars worth of Jhis kind of work was put on them last summer J Yet; we all iteinem. ter how overseer Clark and his gang ot niggers were digging! and yhoreliiiig for weeks "repairing the streets ';" or; rather prrjwriiiff them to Imj in ,u worse icondi tioo when winter weather should set in i han they evjer were Itefore. T am sore that every intelligent, tax-payer must be heartily sick of xthis ;w retched sham work, and Ion: to see isomethinjr of a more pcrmuireut '. aud enduring nature IjHKe. its place; and I.nmj equally certain that the same, amouut ot mouey thus expeuded could be made to accomplish a valuable imjrovement ; Jor, ifthat ean net lw attempted, the same quantity and quality of.work cau be done for less than half the money usually :bcstowcd!oiithe. pick aud shovel, simply by more discreet selection of time abd means. Tlie writer means no disrespect to those' good citizens who constitute the present Board of Commissioners, and who have closely followed iu the footsteps of their predecessors in their public works. lit? means only to suggest that the present system of road making and the method of doing if, are too costly and defective, and shouldn be changed. Look at it for a moineit : Wo will employ 20 men' with pick and shovel to shape up a road by throwing the dirt to the; center, i When this luis befl don, We cover it with about six inches (generally not more than three or four with rotten stone. When finished it is very rough, anid as it is always done in thesummer when the natural roads are good, no one will travel on if if it is possible to keep off. It lies in that condition till winter, and when the natural roads become -too bad, then teams are pulled up on tho "McAdumized road and as the dirt was not packed, and the superficial layei- of graver-vrjis thin, down go the wheels j through 'gravel and loose dirt until they strike the bot tom from eight to twelve inches jbelow. In a little while the gravel disappears beneath the mud, and the improvement is found to bo worthless. And hus it has been going for -years; a constant ex penseand a constant failure. And with the same process-Continued, we fihall have the same result for! Jhc next' five centuries. Our fathers did it that way, why should not we T ; . Is it not practicable to do something like this: Pnt on a pair of strong horses or mules before a suitable road scraper, ami while the rutted streets are moder ately damp aud soft, scrapo them down smooth and even-taking . earc to liave the implement set so as to throw tlie dirt to the center. When the road is properly scraped up, hitch the team to a .j heavy roller and pack; it as firmjy as possible. It will then be ready for, the superstruct ure, whether that be broken stone or piauK. li tueiormer, lay on eiit or ten inches t the least, and pack that with the heavy roller ; and if it be de sired to make it firmer, cover with sand to bind it. It is conjectured that a road made in this way vould cost but little more than one jnade in the usual way; By the one method we have a mere squinting at a McAdainized road, whereiis by the other; we have tho genuine article. It is believed, however that certain portions of our road ways could be more cheaply planked than McAdainized. "Gray's Avenue," for instance, f j But however this may be. it is a question out side, of the present I aim of the writer, which was to induce; others to think, of new systeias and che;ier jncthods for executing thein.

THE TOWN CIIAKTEU AGAIN, Mk. Brunei:: i . Your correspondent was- unintention ally made to fjifo expression last week to statements wineli are probably not cor rect. If he has done so, he certainly did not so intend or desire it; and he took, as he thought, the proper precaution to pre vent any mistake. In the first place, he was writing from memory, having had, the day after the last election, ouly one glance at the full vote each member running for commissioner received, and he distinctly recollects that between- 50 and Outvotes seemed to be the highest the major part of the aspirants .reached. There were four . tickets in the field, aud by some ho cus pocus, a goodly , number of the suc cessful candidates were voted for on near ly all of these tickets. . Notwithstanding, he believed to the best of his recollection (at the time of writing), that no member of the preseut) Board, living received a majority of the entire vote of the' town, uor one-third of it, and a plurality not one-seventh. But he was not willing to publish this statement merely on his hon est convictions of its truth, and therefore requested the gentleman by whom his communication was sent to you, to ascer tain the exact facts and insert them iu lieu of the statements in question. - After persistent effort the geutlemau failed to obtain the exact facts, and not being able to see your correspondent, resolved to submit the article for what it was worth, inteudiug to correct errors, should an v there be, in this issue. If there are mis takes, this is the excuse for them, aud he regrets their publication as much as the writer or any one else can. It is alleged that there are misstatements, but the fact has, not been shown. One thing is cer tain, there are members on the preseut Board exercising a controlling influence who did not receive one- third of the legal vote of the town, and there are those who did not get one-seventh of it. These facts cannot be denied. So much for the al leged misstatements. Now, uuderi-all the circumstances would it not be but a matter of simple justice to the citizens of Salisbury for the Board, which we have shown is not in a popular sense representative one, to make known the projosed amendments to tne unarter, so that, should there be objections, those interested may have a chance to give expression to their senti ments. If the changes proposed are good, all will go for them, notwithstanding the great aversion which exists to the persis tent tinkering with the Charter. You will publish thoabove, Mr. Editor, in justice to all concerned. Vox POI'L'M. Burglary. U Monroe An Accomplished Villain. Sunday night a burglar entered the res idence of Mr. A, F. Stevens, of Monroe, and made oft with his pantaloons, in the podkets of which were more than $100 in money and that gentleman's store key. Having occasion to get up dining the night, Mr. Stexeus discovered the theft, and calling assistance hurried to his store, and was just in time to prevent a man getting in. The thief ran, but the next morning a suspicious looking negio with a valise iu his hand was seen going to wards the dejot, ami the town marshal followed and arrested him in the train. lie was torce to deliver up a quantity of money, together with two watches and a pistol. In reaching into his pocket for a second time, however, ho drew a revolver for-lhe'supposed, purpose of firing on the policoman, when, in jerking it from his pocket it tired, the ball lodging in his own thigh. He was knocked down, secured, and upou a hearing confessed and was jailed. His name is Lewis Rowlaud. Vfiarlotlc Observer. A GLOOMY VIEW. For all purposes of national politics the colored vote would seem already to have been well-nigh eliminated. It fails, to secure recognition even as an "element" to be conciliated, and seems lacking in leaders of sufficient ability to secure such recognition. Without that the colored people will be subjects ofsuch encroach ment in their unequal contest to maintain their place in tho social and politicial or- uer as win practically nnlitv their votes and reduce them to seridora. In that con test, which is the struggle of civilization, they must take their chances ; jn l the chances seem so much against them that it must be reckoned among the possibili ties that within comparatively ajfew gen erations the African nice in this country will bo extinct.

That any nolicv issued by ajiy insuniuce company, or4ts jigeut, doing business in this State, or auy dwelling house, store, warehouse, barn -or other building, purporting to insure the same against loss or damage by fire to a certain amount, the premium on which amount has been accepted aud received by such company or its agent, shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the value of said property, and said company shall not be allowed iu case of loss or damage to the same, to claim any reduction in the amount of liability by reason of any after appraisement! of value. Sec. 2. Iu every case of iusurance against loss or damage by fire in this State, the company so insuring shall be liable for the full amount of loss or dam age to the proporty insured, provided the same do not exceed the amount of insur ance of said lironertv.

TJit in case i of any policy be ing issued by any insurance company, or their agent doing business in this State, in which said company i Khali reserve to themselvesjthe right to cancel said policy at auy time previous to its expiration, the same-right shall be construed as be longing to f ho party to whom the policy is issued, and the said pqrty may on the same conditions as are reserved to them selves by tlie said company, deliver up his policy to the agent of the company and demand the amount of unearned pre mium on the same. ' Sec. 4. This act shall bo in force from aud after its ratification. The audience during the performance of Rip Van Winkle by Thome's comedy company in Monroe, last Thursday night had a very exhilarating experience, iu tercst being lent to the proceedings by the enactment of several scenes not on tho bills. The Express tells very graphi cully that que J. J. Phillips, of Lancaster county, S. C., got iu the show without paying. The door keeper went to him for thojnoncy and he declined to settle. The door-keeper put him out after he had refused to go, but as he went out of the door, he drew a revolver aud fired on a young mau by the name, of Odell, from Concord, whom he supposed to be the door-keeper. Fortunately, the ball struck the door aud glanced oft', doing no harm. However, just as the pistol fired, a mis erably intoxicated person, perched high on one of the seats within, lost his bal ance and fell heavily to tho floor. Of course the pistol report and almost simul taneous fall of the drunkard, impressed every mind with idea that some one had been shot, jand for awhile they had old Cain around 'there.
