I LOOK AT. IT. Now! that it is no longer a secret that Cpt. le Wolfe will run against the ntmineeof the convention for mayor. we wish resDctfully to ask him a few questions and to state a few facts. .1. Ga'pt. Koessler and other gentle men, ctaimincr to be an executive com- -mitteejof the Democratic party, issued m call for a Democratic convention, and . gave notice through ' the columns of this paper that it would be held at O itea Hall last Tuesday night. To thi II ' - .a -CT w can no vqjeciion tvus ujtrrcu.. 2. The convention met at the time and place appointed, and was attended by at least 450 persons. It was organ ized by j the election of a chairman not in favor of Mr. Maxwell a committee was,appointed not in favor of Mr. Max wellthat committee, merely, as they said, toi test the sense of the bouse, pro posed the two thirds rule, which did not prevail, although, as it turned out, two thirds of those present were Max well men they offered a resolution binding the convention to support the n mine. which was adopted nominations were , then made, including Capt. DiVVolfe's name. To nil thi not one word of objection or pro' test zoos offered. Under these circum stanced Mr. Maxwell received 224 oot of 299 j votes, and was declared by the chairman to be the Democratic nomi nee. J , 3. If this does not constitute a Demo cratic domination and bind those pre sent to support it, and make it obliga tory onj the Democratic press of the city to advocate the election of the nominee, there ii no Democratic party in Char lotte, j 4. The fact that pirty 'onvehtions have not been usual before in municipal elections in Ch xrlo'te cannot affect the matterj One was called and held this time, after fair notice and without ob jection and afler an invitation from this paper to determine the character of the Convention at the outset. 5. There ia no Radical nominee, and a leading Radical has boasted that his party intended to brin out an indepen dent Democrat. John Sjhenck, the leading negro Radical of this part of the State, without whose aid Capt. De Wolfe cannot hope to win, is actively engaged in manipulating the indepen dent movement. If this is not enough to make a Democrat pause before Totingf or him against the nominee of the convention, hisDemocracy is of the piebald kind. Now we would like to ask Capt. De- Wolfe these questions: , 1. If ,'you had been nominated in that convention would you not have accept ed. and would yon not have expected the Democrats to support yon? ."' 3. If yon would, how can you justify - an attempt to defeat another who was fairly nominated and accepted ? : S..1X yoa would not nave accepted a . noTftl nation from the Democrats, and axe tttU going to run, what are your politics, or have yon got any ? We "ask these questions in good faith and respectfully. We do not understand politics without convictions. We ad here to the Democratic party because we believe Its principles are correct. and that it is the only place for a South ern man, and wec mnot see how any Democrat and Southern man can unite with negroes and Radicals to beat a Democratic nominee for any office. . great or smalL Tb Philadelphia Tress says , that RandalVJn his canvass , for Speaker, claims haff the Indiana delegation, four votes! from Ohio, two from Georgia two from Alabama, two-thirds . of the 1- Louisiana delegation; j two each from Mississippi and West Virginia and half the members from Tennessee. Of course this is only the extra force he expects to command, as nothing Is said about his own Stale, but unless we are in error we think he may safely add one vote at least from North Caro- Una. it to set- If we had a vote ws would give Sam Cox. commonly caIIed-Sun. and thereby enjoy a comfortable i J- conscience. ! X Although there is no Radical nominee for mayor, what assurance is there that there will not be one at the. last mo- ment? And are men calling themselves Democrats willing to take the chances on this ? Would they rather see VBad: ' ical elected, as- some have said, than . William Maxwell? Think of this, ye - discontented and grumbling - brethren and If yon are wining to such an ar- xangement don't have the cheek to call yourselves Democrats hereafter, and go in toi Democratic meetings.

Since our article headed "Look Al It' was put in type we have seen a copy of Mayor De Wolfe's card announcing himself a candidate for : re-election. This card is like all others issued by in dependent ; candidates. It warns the dear people against submitting to the degradation of being "commanded to vote, and against the whip and so forth, and so forth. .This is a cheap demagogy. Who is "commanding" or cracking "whips' around Charlotte?. Is it the party which claims to be exclu sively - composed of tax payers and is colleagueing with John ocnencK to oeat T a worthy young Democratic nominee, or is it really in dependent and fearless young Democ racy who do not truckle to "a dollar or two," or recognize the Divine right of the possessor of an extra breadth of dirt to rule in this land? Shame on the so-called Democrat who can be caught with such chaff as this. Go to the polls, and declare by your ballots that even so clever a man as Capt De Wolfe can not retain his office by appeals of this kind, backed by the support of Jobn Schenck & Co. . To be continued in our next. ! TOTE FAIR, GENTLEMEN. One of the arguments used against Mr. Maxwell' is that he is opposed to the . graded' school. This is false, and false in the teeth of the declaration made by him after his nomination that he is not only in favor of the graded schools, but in favor of improving them. Don't let lying enter into the the canvass as a part of the argument against the nominee. Tote fair.

Mr Ker coi cluded bis opening speech in the iStar Route cases this afternoon. In sunk micg up the cases he said the testimo ny be had reviewed covered more than 4.800 pages.' One hundred and fifty wit nesses naa Deen examined, ana tnere were in the case 2,701 separate papers which naa passed through tne hands of the clerk and ' so carefully - handled by him that there was not a single dupli cate mark npon them. There were 19 oaths or affidavits in the cases, arxV leaving out Sanderson's and Vailers oaths, in the Sargeant route, there were 19 oaths left, .Every one of these had4i been altered and changed.: There was not one which was . not) al fraudulent. raise oatn. noi one or tne oatna was truthful. i.J ! i In concluding he entreated the jury to assist the srovernment in the effort it was making. There had never been a case before in which the prosecution had so many difficulties to encounter. They were engaged against one of the wealthiest rings that ever robbed tbe government. There never was a case in which an honest jury was beset with so many difficulties in keeping ' their mlnos ' from Miner impregnated ' with matters having no bearing oa tte ease. lie urged them to so perioral their part that each one of them could say at tbe end: "I did my duty faithfully and as a man." t . At the conclusion of Mr. leer's ad dress Mr. Knkle rose and proposed oo behalf ot bis clients. Vaile and Mi net. to submit tbe case to the jury without argument, under instructions ' of the court, Mr. Wilson, for Mr. Brady, said he had -.no' objection to- parsainir the aaie course, with "the understanding u iuo government iuae uo juriuer argument. Mr. Met rick said they most manage their ease in tbeir own way: tbe government had t nothing to say. Mr. Devidge, representing exSenator Dorsey and his brother, said he per sonally agreed with f Mr. Ilenkle and Mr. Wilson, but he could make no offer until he consulted with Mr. IbgersolL The court then adjourned until Mon day morning, when the Doraeys will give their decision in the matter. It is not at ail prooaoie, no wever.tnat the case will be submitted without fur ther argument. The proposition to pursue this course was probably only a piece of tbe bravado, on the part of the defence, intended to have. some effect upon the. jury. but without any idea that it would be accepted. As Mr Bliss gets a hundred dollars for every day that be cae protract tbe trial, it is not to be presumed that he will forego the pleasure and pront or delivering a 8300 or S000 speech.

Walker. Sitting Past Grand, who departed this life on Wed nesday morning, the 18th dsy of April. 1883. in tne 45ta year or bis age, and. whkbkir. In the death 'of i brother Walker tbe Lodge has Buffered an irre parable loss as an Odd r eilow be was alwajs loyal ; his alliganee to the order was true and constant; nis raitn in its grand capabilities for good, never wsned : to tne end oi nis uie ne was fixed in bis devotion, and was ready at all times to lift his voice in advocacy and defence of its high and sacred mis sion. We mourn his loss : there Is a va cancy in our midst hard to realize; the warm heart that was always laltnlul bas ceased to beat; the eloquent voice that was always true is silent; the fa miliar face and form have been laid away forever, but the memory of his life still survives,- -and will remain a valued heritage for all coming time to the order he loved so devotedly and served so well. Therefore be It Resolved, That in tbe death of Bro? Walker the Lodge has been bereft of one of its most zealous, earnest and able members, and his wife a loving bos band, and, bis family a kind and affec tionate friend, and the community, a, good citizen who was always wise in council and faithful in labors. !

The company, was "formed for the protection of our homes and families, but subj-ct to the call of the Governor, if needed, the company to be formed when 35 names are en rolled and officers elected by the compa ny and all other regulat'ons made by them... Col. M. W. Alexander was elected Captain, and Sam , Taylor 1st Lieutenant, J no. Rigler 2nd Lieutenant and CoL B. W. Alexander Srd Lieuten ant. Many of the names signed to the paper have : long since ceased to be known among us, while some .of the men who joined the 35 are still living and are among Charlotte's oldest and most Influential citizens. A Water Boaad Grooau. , . The recent rains did other things be sides washing away bridges, and the same Yadkin that swept the lowlands clean, caused a wedding supper to turn cold and a waiting bride to weep. Mias Ella Melchor, of Albemarle, "was to have been married last Wednesday evening to a young man from David son county, and at the appointed hour, the bride was duly attired, the guest assembled and the supper was waiting, but the groom came not, and after waiting until a late hour, the guests dispersed, leaving th sapper untouch ed and the bride in tears. It was learned afterwards that the groom had started out to be married, but the swollen Yadkin cut him off and he went up and down its banks In the vain effort to get across. Tbe river effectually held him in check and prevented the wedding from proceeding. A Jointed Saake. Jake Barrineer. a tenant - who waa ploughing on Mr. Jno Wads worth's farm yesterday, turned no with the ploughshare one of those cariosities a ointed snake. The re Dtile was about a yard in length and was put together in four sections. The darkey did not know what sort of a snake ,it was when it first turned np and hit 'it with a stick to kill it. At the first blow, the snska fell all to pieces, the bead part going one way and tbe tail part another, and the two body pieces jumped off in different directions. The amazed darkey resam- ed bis ploughing, went to the end of the i arrow and on his return was surprised to see the snake all together again, ex cept the tail piece, and watching a few zew minutes, saw the tail eominz nn to join the; body, taking sharp, ouiek little jerks. It came nearer and nearer until within a few inches of . the S snake, when It gave a sudden jump and nucned on in its proper place with a fuss resembling the popping of r a cap. The darkey knocked, it to pieces sev eral times, and each time it came to gethergaia. IU serried, hla mini ment a little too far however in throw ing the Zmd part of tbe snake across th creek, just to see, as he said,' bow long it would take it to cateh up," bnt it never caught np. The snake- with its three joints was carried to the hdnss. and the tail is no doubt still going about tne woods bunting for a anake to hitch on to. siaaay Setef, Local avavd Otherwise. Rev. O. F.

The Cemetery Xdltor JonmaMrbatraait ! - - At this season of the ' year, it is a source of pleasure and pride to our citizens to look -npon the spot where "sleep onr honored dead." . Growing more ana more attractive, year alter year, under tbe skUlful touch of "our efficient superintendent, onr people are justly proud of our beautiful cemetery. i.n Uw evening or almost every pleasant dsy, crowds repair thither, and enjoy a stroll along its well kept walks, feast ing the eye on the; endless variety of shrubs, plants and i flowers, and breath ing the fragrance with which the air is richly laden. There is one feature. However, which is unsightly. ana which evokes unfavorable comment from almost every passer by. I refer to the "so-called lake," which might much more appropriately be termed a gigantic maa puoaie. it tnere is an element of beauty in it, it has failed to be seen by any person that your subscriber hss beard pass an opinion. We formerly had two lakes but the upper one has been happily transformed into a lovelv flower garden, where anemone, hya cinths; pansies, etc. greet the eye aad charm the beholder. This spot so gen erously and tastefully adorned, ren ders its neighbor, tbe lake (7) more ngly and unsightly by contrast. But this is not the only reason whv we ahould get rid of i our cemetery lake. It breeds mosquitoes and an endless variety of pestiferous insects, and must of necessity be unhealthy. The mud in tne bottom or tnat pool most be of great depth, and will doubtless in time appear above water, bnt tbe operation should be facilitated by dumping in soil and filling the pond speedily. And then; after awlle. we -may see an other wonderful transform atlon. and another lovelv flower garden in the room of the eider colored sheet of water that we have long looked upon without admira tion. , , - . : CHASXOTTK. . la ataxies Oty a story la baoMsaOMStrse That enek aea e( tou.
