In the first, the rivalry between leates

The name OF Col. Martin has been proposed
as a compromise. but he Is 10th TO enter a

Jarvis, if he would accept the nomination,
could sweep the field, but it is not known II
he would rclinquish his hold upon the gov
e%rnorship, which nomination he appears at
present to command, 1t IS, however, the
intention OF the party managers to induce
him to take the Congressional nomination.,
if at a sacrifice, for it is said he would carry
his district beyond all question. In the
fourth district General Cox Is said to be the
probable nominee; Scales, present member
in the fifth: Col. Ham Jones, Of Charlotte,
the sixth; Armfield or Robbins in the sew
enth, and James l.. Robinson, probable, III
the eighth. Gen. Robt Vance, present rep
resenta5ive, viii be asked to take the second
place on the State ticket, with a view to
make it strong and invincible in all portions
of North Carolina, and because his section
is enlisted in the.extension ofthe State Rail

Charlotte Observer: A difficulty between
several young men in the Central Hotel was
up before the Mayor yesterday morning.
The difficulty originated in a mistake in
regard to the number of the room. One
word brought on another until finally an
encounter ensued, in the course of which
one of the parties, Mr.. Heath, fired a pistol,
which however, did no damage beyond
causing some alarm among the guests of
the hotel. The Mayor let all the parties off
except Heath, who was held in a bond Of
$50 to appear at the next term of the Infe-
Tior Court.-Several cases of diphtheria
are reported in the county,, but with the
exception of Mr.. Clarke's family, no fatali-

siderable religious awakening has been ex-
perienced at the Tryon Street Methodist
Church since the commencement of the re-
ligious meetings there a little over a week
ago.-The friends of DIR. /. w. Heron,
of Berryhill township, will regret to learn
that he met with a very painful accident
yesterday morning. He mounted his horse
just after daylight and started to see a pa
tient. In riding through the yard he was
caught by a clothes wire line and thrown
off, the fall causing a fracture of the thigh
bone near the hip joint. 1t is feared that
the accident will prove a very serious one.
"A counterfeit five dollar bill was taken
in at one of the banks within the past few
days. 1t is pronounced one of the best
ever found in these parts.--We are dis
posed to think that the little Indians are
twenty-five times as we'll educated as the
little tarheels that depend for education
upon the public schools of the State. Only
one in about 6 hundred gets any at all, and
that one doesn't get any more than it needs.

THE REPORT of the Superintendent
Of Public Schools, full synopsis of
which will be found in our local columns,
contains some interesting facts. The
generel decrease in the attendance dur
ing the past year is remarkable, particu-
larly IN regard to the Howard School,
which the white taxpayers of THIS city,
In their kindness of heart, maintain for
the benefit Of colored children, whose
parents pay no city school tax what
ever. 1t really seems that the colored
people are Indifferent in regard to the
education of their children, as with
enough Of the latter to fill at least three
or four large schools the Howard School
IL only ordinarily attended, and has
only been crowded once or twice. The
School Board once tried to spread the
school accommodations for colored chill
dren. by establishing school in South
Wilmington, but the attendance soon
dwindled down to one or two pupils, and
the Board finally ordered the school to
be closed. 1t was destroyed by fire the
very night this order was made. If the
eolored people do not take more Interest
III the subject OF education they canno
expect the white people to force the sub
ject upon them, and maintain, at grea
expense, schools that are not half attend
ed, while their children roam i'd,
through the streets.
