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.

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.
