We are not disposed to indulge in
any harsh criticism of the new Ad
ministration, and we believe it will
prove to be so clean, so honest and so
con-ervatiTe that, in all essential
features it will be worthy of the
support of the Democratic party.
We think, however, the President
has made a mistake in appointing
Mr. Pearson Postmaster of New
York. While this is a position of
vast responsibilities, it is also a posi
tion of vast patronage; and while we
are prepared to believe that . 'Mr.
we believe sU)l more firmly that there
are many New York Democrats who
are at least the equal xf Mr. Pear
son in honesty and efficiency; and to
one of these we think the position
should have been tendered.
The Madison murder is still the
theme in Richmond. A special to
the Baltimore Sun says:
"Besides the fact , developed yesterday
that the accused and the deceased were
both here on January 6th, and according
to the statement of employes of the Ex
change Hotel, where Miss Madison stopped,
saw each other, it is believed that other
circumstantial evidence in the case has
come to light. The authorities are direct
ing special attention to the neighborhoods
in which the deceased and accused- lived.
They hope to be able to learn something
there which may throw some light on the
mysterious death of Miss Madison. More
systematic work has been done on the case
in the past week than at any time since the
occurrence of the mysterious tragedy.
" When Mr. Archer, chief clerk at the
Exchange Hotel, visited the jail yesterday
he auicklv identified Ouverius as the man
who had called on Miss Madison at the
hotel on the 6th of January. Cluverius
insisted that it was a mistake, but Mr.
Archer became more positive the longer he
looked at Cluverius."
The French defeat at Langson

Gen. Negrier was mortally wounded

Charlotte Observer: On the trip
from Charlotte to Danville, night before,
last, engineer Worley with engine No. 33,
made the best time that has ever been made
on the Richmond & Danville Road, so the
engineers. say. No. 33 had ten cars behind
her, giving her an unusually long and
heavy train to pull, and when engineer
Worley pulled back the lever, she started
off with the view of making up lost time.
At expiration of a run of precisely 4 hours
and 6 minutes, the train stopped at the
depot in Danville. The distance is 144
miles. -The civil service examiners

from all parts of the State, not more than
twelve of them belonging to Charlotte. Of
the ladies present four were from the city.
Our reporter was somewhat surprised to
find that among the candidates Bix were
colored. The political aspect of the schooL
with the probable exception of these latter,
was decidedly Democratic. The answers
are sent to the commission at Washington,
where they graded aad- filed away.

Another Runaway.
Yesterday was a day for runaways.
About 6 p. m. the horses attached to the
Southern Express wagon started' from the
office and ran wildly down Froni street to
Market, when, in trying to turn the corner,
one of the horses was thrown violently to
the stone pavement, and dragged around
considerably before the other horse was
seized. The fallen I animal was theV as
sisted to rise and relieved of the harness,
when he walked off apparently but slightly
hurt. It was the first impression that he
would be killed. The wagon had a box of
packed shad jnit, which, was burst .open
and the ice and fish scattered about pretty
promiscuously. Considerable Excitement
was created by the runaway. .

Yesterday afternoon, about half-past 2.
o'clock, a horse attached to a buggy (the
property of Mr. W, A. Whitehead), was
being driven by Master Willie -Whitehead,
when the horse became frightened and
'started down Market street ia the direction
of the river at a furious pace. .Turning the
corner from Market into Front street, near
Mr. B. Solomon's store, the buggy com
menced sliding and finally came in contact
with the curb-stone opposite the North
State saloon, the shock throwing the driver
from his seat and hurling him upon the
brick pavement with such force that
it was at first feared that he would
be seriously injured. As it was, he was
badly bruised and cut about the arms and
received one quite severe cut on the head.
One of his wrists appeared to be dislocated
at firsts buflt was thought at last accounts
that such was not the fact The shock
which threw young Whitehead out of the
buggy also prostrated the horse, but ere he
could be seized he was up and going again.
Running across the street the buggy came
in contact with a barber's pole, where the
vehicle was smashed, and the horse with
the broken shafts dangling at his heels,
dashed wildly down Front street, keeping
in the middle of the sidewalk and causing
a general stampede all along the line
finally disappearing in the distance. He
was finally captured somewhere in the
southern part of the city after tiring of
his violent exercise, and was taken to his
stable. The buggy was almost com
pletely demolished, but the horse was
not believed to be hurt much, if any.
Bad 'state of Affairs.
The frequency of burglaries.robberies and
arson is getting to be a matter of serious
alarm to our people, and suggests the im
portance of immediate steps to check the
evil. ' Of course there is a deficiency in the
strength of our police force, It is impossi
ble with a force so scattered to accomplish
much in thoway of detecting crime. There
are no better licemen than some on our
force, but they cannot be everywhere on
their beats at the same time, and the thieves
and house burners generally have their con
federates to watch and let them know when
the coast is perfectly clear, or when there
is danger. The one thing needful just now
is two or three good detectives, with a head
to direct their movements. Such a force
under the direction of our resident Solicitor,
Col. Moore, for instance, could accomplish
much in this needful direction. The time
has come when some action in the matter is
absolutely essential, and we hope that the
county and city authorities will take into
consideration the measures best to be i
adopted.
Won't Go Series of meetings.
Our Baptist friends were no doubt glad to
learn that their pastor, Rev. Dr. Pritchard,
had no idea of leaving them to accept the
call so unanimously tendered him by the
people of his native city of Charlotte,
though he would probably as soon go there
as anywhere else outside of Wilmington.
The Doctor will commence a series of spe
cial meetings at his church on Monday
nfght next, in which he will be aided by
Rev. Mr. Battle, of Wadesboro.
