THE VIM. Bosr M1NE.-This mine is
attracting considerable attention just now.
1t is located about fourteen miles south of
Concord. We understand, from reliable
and experienced miners, that the vein Is
two feet broad, starting from the surface
and has been examined to depth OF
thirty eight feet. The quality of the ore
is easily seen from the TACT that Ion Is
worth from forty to sixty dollars. 1t is
doubtless one OF the richest mines in the
State, besides the quantity and quality OF
ore, the work of getting it out is not so
difficult as is found ib the working Of
many other mines. We expect, at an
early day, to hear OF some wonderful de-
velopments and extensive operations
going on at this NINE Concord Stand

RAIN, HAIL AND WIND SToRM.-About
four o'clock Sunday evening, very dark
and angry cloud hung over the northern
part OF this county. The wind blew very
hard 10 town, but little rain fell. Near
Mill Hill the wind was severe, blowing
down trees, fences and such other things
as were not securely fastened.
Near A. F. Hileman's iu addition to the
wind and heavy rain, one OF the severest
hail storms known fell. The stones were
80 large and fell with suoh force that the
corn and cotton were completely stripped
of blades and limbs. The path of the
hail Storm varied from a fourth to full
mile in width; the length is not known.-

We Should Have Representation in
congress

The demands Of the times require the
people Of the South to select their ablest
men to represent them in the National
Congress, not only 10 the Senate, but more
particularly in the House OF Representa-
tives; and indeed less ability is necessary
to represent US in the smaller body-the
Senate-with it's dignity, respect and
deeorum, than the larger body, the House
OF Representatives, with it's uncomfortable
number of about three hundred and fifty
men, from every section of the country,
representing the characteristics and vary
ing Interests OF many people.
Under such circumstances it is idle to
say that this or that man, if elected, can
vote 10 our interest, Tor we need a repre-
sentative that eau also influence others to
vote the same way. And it ia we'll to re-
mark here, that it is a we'll known fact to
those acquainted with the deliberations of
this branch OF Congress, that no man ex-
cept he be one OF marked ability for that
line Of business, can fully represent his
people, for the reason that his abilities do
not command the attention and respect of
bis associates, and the sequel is, that the
people who do not have a representative
who will receive respectful hearing, will
themselves be in disrespect, and practi-
cally without representation. Now, while
very many think themselves capable of
going to Congress, the truth in regard to
the past would compel frank admission
of many who have undertaken the task.
that it is place that few can fill with
credit to themselves aud constituents.
And if the above be true, who should
the Democrats OF this Congressional Dis
trict nominate and elect to the next Con-
gress? Certainly the man who aspires to
the place who is the best suited for it..
And it should be remembered, in making
choice, that in politics as in other mat
ters, one man may be capable of filling
one place but incapable of efficiently filing
another.
For instance, one man might make an
excellent Governor, or even a good u. s.
Senator, and would with such abilities
make very ordinary representative in
the House. In view of the importance to
the South of sending able, wise, conservs-
tive men to Congress, who can 10 some
measure shape legislation, and so protect
MS to some extent, from the unequal taxa.

that, stepping out, she would not be
touched by drop of rain or fake Of

Everything was ready. The horses
were paving in the stable, waiting for the
day to come when they would carry their
new mistress out; the coachman and the
footman had their big white rosettes at
hand to wear on the wedding day; the
house was full of fragrance, for beautiful
flowers were msssed to please the coming
mistress, snd every hing seemed to be in

care, for the sun shons bright, and il vas

COMMUNICATED

70 the Editor of the Charlotte Demo-
crat:-We have just learned from the
best authority that the $4,000 of City
Bonds, recently voted, were sold at loO5
under the motion made by Mr. 4. b.
Springs at the meeting of the Board OF
Aldermen on 18th of May, and that they
have been delivered to the purchaser.
1t is generally believed that bad the
bonds been advertised and not hurried OH
on the first bid that large premium
could have been obtained and many thou
sand dollars saved to the city.
Atlanta, Savannah, Birmingham and
other Southern cities advertise their bonds
to the highest bidder and their 5 per cent
bonds are eagerly taken at lO5 to lO7.

appropriation bills carrying in the ag-
gregate nearly $lOO, O,OOO, 900. The con-

bill calling Tor $23, lee, ,O35 Was agreed to
snd the postoffics and diplomatic aud
consular bills, calling respectively for
$72, ,46l ,69l and $l,72O,335, were passed
in spite Of the determined fight OF. the
men to whom Senator Ingalls, yesterday
contemptuously alluded as s'parsimonious
patriots" '. ' -.
Senator German vigorously opposed
the postoffice bill, especially the amend
ment providing for the employ ment of
additional inspectors to investigate the
workings OF the smaller post offices.
Senator Plumb also opposed the amend
ment, but it was strongly supported by
others and fnallY all the amendments
were adopted. The consular aud diplo-
matte bill aroused less opposition aud the
following amendments were incorporated
before the bill was finally passed -
Increasing the compensation OF the
Minister TO Turkey, the Argentiue Re-
public aud the United States Of Columbia
from $500 to SIC, 900; of the Minister OF
Denmark from $4,000 to $500; of the
Consul General to Mexico from 81, 500 to
s. 200, and changing the GLASSES Of several
consulatea. @E5.$ ~ ~
The conference report on the pension
appropriation bill having been presented
Mr. German moved that the Senate recede
from the only amendment not arranged 10
couference-that for the appointment of
two additional pension agents, say ing that
there was no possibility Of the House
agreeing to it. The motion was agreed
to, the Senate receded, and the pension
appropriation bill now goes to the Prssi-

THIS DRESS GOODs TRIUMPH

Has not been won in single year, nor is it the
result OF any fortunate accident. It has come
by growth, slow at first. but steady and con-
stant; then more rapidly, as the influences began
to tell. These influences are constant personal
attention, concentrated in special direction and
aided by facilities quite unusual. With all the
intelligent and skilled service we have enlisted
in the building up of this department we have
ourselves kept constant oversight and labored
for its success, as we personally select every
piece Of goods that appear on the counters.
From the first this department OF Dress Goods
has been the centre of the business, until now
the department numbers its patrons all over the
State
This business and this triumph in Dress Goods
are the result of patient and constant personal
effort, and we propose to continue in the same
lines which have made our house the Dry Goods
Emporium of the State.
