nate a Congressman-at-large a justice of the
Supreme Court and six judges of the Superior
Court. The proceedings of the Convention

On the subject of calling an extra session
of tile Legislature for the purpose Of reds-
tricting North Corolna, the Raleigh Observer
says: eve notice a paragraph going the
rounds that the Governor of North Carolina
has again decided not to call an extra session
of the Legislature to redistrict the State. The
Governor of the State has never decided any
thing about it. He submitted the matter to
the four gentlemen who constitute the Coun-
Gil of State some months ago, and majority
of them refused their consent. The Govern
or has no right to call the Legislature together
without their consent, if he wishes to do so
ever so much. The subject has never been
before the Council SINCE"

tpo oIc NJ of q
follows "Chares R. Jones, editor Of the
Charlotte Observer, announces himself as an
independent candidate for Congress in oppO-
sition to the Democratic nominee when nomi-
mated. COL Jones claims to be a Democrat
still, but DR.. Mott, we suspect has reached
out his long arms, seized him by the hair, OF
the head and lifted him in out of the wet.
Good bye, Charles R. Sorry to part with you.
But this is a free country.''

- About sundown on Thursday evening last,
Mr. Laban Williams, aged about II, son OF
Mr. Henry B. Williams, of Charlotte, while
out horseback riding with lady friend, was
thrown from his animal and killed. The ac-
cident occurred just beyond the Airline de-
pot, on the road to Biddle Institute, at the
spot where the bridge spans Town creek. 1t
seems that just as Mr. Williams and his COM
panon passed the railroad track his horse, a
young and frisky animal, took fright and
darted down the road on a wild runaway.
From the railroad to the bridge it is dis
tance of about quarter of a mile, and over
this road the horse sped along with Mr.. Will
liams bravely retaining his seat in tile saddle,
and it was not until the bridge was reached
and the horse took sudden turn, that its
rider was thrown to the ground. The bridge
is a high one and just before approaching 1T,
the road forks, one branch leading below
through the creek and the other going over
the bridge. The runaway horse was almost
on the bridge when the martingales snap
ped asunder and it took sudden turn to
the right, plunging down the embankment to
the other road. AS the horse wllirled the
young man was thrown into the air and de-
scended OH his head to the hard road An
examination showed that the top of his head
had been crushed in and his neck broken by
the force of the fall The Charlotte Observer,
from which we gain the above facts, says the
deceased was boy admired and loved by all
for the many good qualities of heart and head
which he possessed, even for one so young.
A general favorite with all, his sudden and
untimely death has caused deep grief in the
community.

%, which is higher than in July of 1873 and
1874 and lower than in any other year of the |
