AlabamaLegislative Committee re port cjndemning Senator Spencer for briberies and other grave corruptions. More About the Charlotte Riot. The Charlotte Observer concludes a long and judicial-spirited account of the late trouble in that city thus: Though the result of the investiga tion was not such as to fix the fatal shooting upon any one in particular enough was adduced to warrant the arrest of Green McAulay, Robert J. Smith and Thos. Wilson, white, and llichard Johnson and Jim McMat thews, colored, Smith and Johnson were committed to jail; the others gave bond for their appearance. Smith is a fellow who made bis first appear ance in the city on Friday, and the impression prevails very generally that he is responsible in a large degree for the riot. He it was who, in the commencement of the trouble be tween Wilson and the negroes, sided with the latter and urged them on, telling them that he was a Northern man, that he had fought for them once and would do so again, that he believed in fair play and would stand by them. It is strange that among so many' shots so few took effect. This shows that the whites were either very much excited or else they did not shoot to kill ; the latter explanation is the more probable. Some of the balls lodged in the third story of the Central Ho tel and some passed through the win dows of the third story or" Brem, Brown & Co.'s hardware store. The riot has been very much exag gerated in places distant from Char lotte, and hence it is all important that an accurate account be given of its origin and extent. This, we think. is done above. The Observer had stated that it originated in a drnnken brawl be tween some white and black men and had no connection with politics. Spirits Turpentine I - - i The gin house of Mr. John Murphey, of Snow Hill, was burned last week. A dead negro baby with its neck broken was found wrapped in a Tag in front of a disreputable house in Golds boro Tuesday morning. . The new Masonic hall at Raleigh was dedicated on Monday evening. F.

A negro man named Jim Rice lias been lodged in Wake jail for killing, on Monday, another negro not known, on the premises of Mr. G. W. Atkinson, near Apex. The deceased had stdten $5 from a blind negro, and being pursued by Rice re fused to halt, when the latter shot him down, killing him. Rice surrendered to the authoroties. , Raleigh Sentinel of Wednesday: Information was received at the executive office to-day of the arrest, at Warrensburg, Missouri, of Lewis Ingram, who is charged with having committed murder in Bun combe countv in 1870, and for whom a re ward of $200 is offered by this State.

Who Is Het A mysterious stranger has been going the rounds of the city for severaLdays past, and it seems to be the general impression of those who have seen and conversed with him that he is an escaped lunatic, and a man, too, who has at one time been pos sessed of fine intellectual attainments. -I HE yOL.XVTI.-NO. 83.

New Year's Day having been declared a bank holiday, the merchants generally will probably tollow suit The masqued.ball under the di rection of Mr. Jas. M. Brown will come off at the City Hall to-night at 8, o'clock. Mr. Geo. W. Dutcher, a cele brated temperance orator, is to lecture on his favorite theme in this city on Sunday, the 16th inst. The officers of the various banks have given notice that they will observe to morrow, the 1st day of January, as a holi day. The present mild weather has brought up heavy fogs from the ocean wich cause some annoyance to shipoing in port as well as outside. The city authorities will be petitioned 'for a street lamp on the dark corner of Second and Princess. Pray also that it be kept lighted and glazed f ' The public generally are invited and solicited to' show their sympathy with the cause of temperance by attending the mass meeting at Fifth Street M.

Ellison, principal of the white public schools, reports to Mr. A. H. Morris, Chairman of the township School Committee, that the average daily attendance during the past quarter has been, at the Hemenway 120 and at the Union school 188 pupils. Under the new management the scholastic year has thus far been marked by advancement of the pupils that is very satisfactory to both teachers and parents Presentation We learn that Mr. F. W. Foster was pre sented by the Apollo Band with a hand some silver salver Wednesday night. The ceremony took place in the private parlor over the National Saloon, Mr. H. M. Bow- den, President of the. Apollo Band, pre senting the articles in a very neat and ap propriate speech, to which Mr. Foster re sponded in his peculiar vein. Jailed for Contempt. Mary Harriss, white, was sent to jail Wednesday evening for twenty days for being guilty of contempt of Justice Cassi- dey's Court. She remained in the Sheriffs office for some considerable time, in charge of Deputy Morris, and proved a fit subject for that official's most earnest efforts in the cause of reform, particularly as relating to temperance and morality -generally. She said she wanted to go to jail, for she hadn't eaten anything for three days and had not a "square meal" for a week. Inquest. 8. YanAmringe, Esq., acting as Special Coroner for the occasion, held an inquest yesterday afternoon over the body of Sarah Ann Graham, the colored child alluded to in our last as having been burned to death at Quince's Mill, near this city. The jury, composed of C. H. Strode, foreman; Wil liam White, Lantern Perkins, Henry Wil kins, Lewis Miller, James West, Thomas Hooper, J. A. Ashe, Washington Howard, Henry Graham, Sampson Haywood and J. W. Williams, returned a verdict that the child came to its death from leaving it with an irresponsible party. TJ. S. Commissioner Court. Holloway Willis, colored, charged with passing counterfeit money, on the complaint of a colored woman by the name of Jane Outlaw had a hearing before U. S. Com missioner J. J.

WILMINGTON, INDUSTRIAL FAIR EXPOSITION. Vourth Dar. The first Fair of the Industrial Exposi tion Association closed yesterday, winding up with a ball at Giblem Lodge at night. The Fair has in all respects been a success ful one, and the officers and members of the Association should feel a commendable pride in the fact, thus demonstrated, that the colored people of this State, and of this section particularly, are so well versed in all the useful and important pursuits of life, and that they have thus come forward and assisted and encouraged the Association in this their first grand exposition. The attendance upon the Fair has been very large from the first, while a proper re spect for good order and demeanor has marked each day's proceedings. The praiseworthy efforts of the Associa tion, as evidenced in the holding of this Fair, and the success which has attended it, should meet the approbation and receive the heartfelt encouragement Of all good cit izens, white and colored. We give below a few articles not before mentioned: On the second floor was a collection of native woods, exhibited by Fred. C. Sadg war; hod bricks, by Hooper & Lee; spirit cask, by Henry 8weat; spirit cask in fifty two pieces, by David Deal; spirit cask, by J. H. Davis; spirit cask, by Jo. W. White, Columbus county; bee hives, by Geo. W. Price; native grass baskets, by Henry Gause, 65 years old, Halifax county; col lection of turned wood work, by Wm. Kel logg; small work box, by John H. Howe, 14 years old. On the third floor (Floral Hall) was no ticed a paper cage containing two birds, by Lavinia Mallett; fruit basket, by Julia Con ner, pineapple pin cushion, by Anna Shep person; variety of imitations of different colors, by W. A White, Columbus county; fancy slippers, by Nathan Chappel; pillow slip, by Dina Hall, Mecklenburg county; lace pin-cushion, by F. Price; lady's gar ment, by Carrie Price; pin-cushion (double), by Louisa Franklin; fancy sack, by Jennie Willis; pin-cushion, by Henry Toomer. An auction sale of articles on exhibition will, we learn, take place on the grounds to-day. The Athletic Club New Fear's Sports. A very attractive programme is piesented in our advertising columns of games to be played on Ue Athletic Glub grounds to morrow. The attendance no doubt will be much larger on this occasion than it was on Thanksgiving Day, as very few fully ap preciated the fact that such a delightful en tertainment was in store for those who were present on that day. Many expressed their regret, afterwards, that they had not wit nessed the exciting sports and entertaining games which had given so much genuine pleasure, and all such will no doubt swell the crowd to-morrow. Another inducement is to be found in the fact that the price of admission to the grounds has been reduced to 25 cents, mem bers alone to be admitted free. Mr. Berry Gleaves has been appointed Chief Marshal for the day. The Assistant Marshals are Messrs. R G. Ross, John Col ville, G.'W. Bailey, W. Roddick, Norwood Giles and Fred. Kidder. Mr. Donald MacRae has been appointed Chairman of the Committee on Rifle-Shooting. The remaining members will be an nounced to-morrow. Examine the advertisement and see for yourselves the delightful entertainment prepared for you! The Deaf and Dumb and the Blind Children at the Fair. As we have before stateda-one of the im portant features connected with the color ed Fair in this city during the present week has been the performances or entertain ments of the deaf and dumb and the blind children, from the Asylum at Raleigh, un der the direction of Prof. W. F. Dedman, teacher and Supervisor. These chddren are thirteen in number, seven blind and six deaf and dumb. The performances cer tainly evinced evidences of thorough in struction and a remarkable proficiency, under all the circumstances. The colored Asyulm .for the benefit of this class of-unfortunates is entirely dis tinct from the white, being located in the southern part of the city of Raleigh, on a one-acre lot of ground, appropriately laid out, with streets running on each side of it. It was built of brick made by the convicts in the Penitentiary, the average thickness of the walls being about two feet. It is three stories high, and has nineteen rooms, in cluding two dormatories 20 by 40 feet in dimensions. As we have before remarked, North Carolina is the only State that has made suitable provision for the deaf and dumb and the bliod within its borders. The pupils in attendance upon the Fair left for Raleigh last evening. While here all their expenses were paid by the Fair As sociation and the railroads passed them free. At Last. "That night is long that never finds the day," and dark, too, when the lamps are blown out for lack of glass or left unHghted. But now we feel the fires of hope for better things8pring up afresh within us, and in our view the east catches the glow. We mis take. We are short-sighted. It is the long neglected and battered street lamps which in our mental vision catch the glow and the spark which is to make them again lights to our feet instead of stumbling blocks .to our path is kindled by the an nouncement that the Mayor has made a bran, new contract with reliable persons for lighting and keeping them in repair during next year. OENJNG oTAB. N. e., FRIDAY. DECEMBER 31, 1875. Int las Katie Putnam RIonday. The approaching appearance of this charming little lady the first-love of play going Wilmington creates a ripple of in terest even amid the excitements of holiday week and the closing year. . Indeed, the times must be strangely exciting or strange ly bad' when the announcement of Miss Katie's coming would not set the town to talking and planning to see her; and now that it is known that she is to take her favorite: parts, The Marchioness and Little Nell, in the dramatization of Dickens' "Old "Curiosity Shop," on Monday night, the de sire to be present is especially strong.
