STRUCK THE WRONG PASSENGER.

The feather-bed General who SANDER
ed the North Carolina troops at Jack
sonville summoned Mr.. Fred L. Merritt,
our staff correspondent, to headquarters
to answer for his criticism.
Mr. Merritt denied the truth of the
statements contained in the order he had
criticised and demanded proof. As that
could not be furnished, the matter was
dropped, but it was intimated that if it
occurred again the News and Observer
correspondent would be denied the privi-
leges of the camp.
When the authorities at Jacksonville
learn as much about the News and OBJ
server and it's staff as North Carolinians
know they will attempt no "bulldozing. .
We print the truth. If mistaken, we
gladly correct errors when they are
established, but allow no man, whether
political giant or feather-bed Gener-
al, to order silence when the honor and
good name Of North Carolina or North
Carolina volunteers are at stake.
In his work at Jacksonville Mr.. Mer-
rift has made reputation for himself and
the paper. His plain criticisms, and his
brave stand when called to account for
them, will endear him to every soldier
and to every soldiers friend in camp.
That's the Tar Heel sense and the Tar
Heel grit for you!

from Mr.. i. l.. Smith correcting an in
accuracy in our Washington correspon-

first paper in the State to suggest that
Gen. Roberts would make fit Major
General or Brigadier General. He won
his spurs in the face of the enemy and
was the youngest Brigadier General in
the Confederate army. He has since
served the State and Federal govern
ments in important positions. If milf

the appointing power, Gen. Roberts ten

Has IeHueFeu Ills Services to the Ico-
ident But Has Not and Will Not Enter
Into Any Scramble.
To the Editor: In yesterdays News
and Observer, this statement appears
in reference to the appointment of
Brigadier General for this State:
"There are other candidates pushing
their claims as vigorously as Colonel
Burgwyn;' and General w. Z. Roberts,
of Gates, is mentioned as one of them.
In the same connection, the further
statement is made that ''the fight is
watched with interest, &C."
This is an injustice to General Rob
erts. 1t is true, he has formally rendered
his services to the government, and he
would, from a sense of patriotic duty,
accept the appointment of Brgadier
General, if rendered him. But he has
not and will not enter into any scramble
or fight" for the place.
He was recently called to Washing
ton by letter, and | presume that gave
rise to the statement that he was push
ing his claims for that position.
| will take the liberty to state that, If
the rank of Brigadier General in the
Confederate army, won by General
Roberts at the point of the sword, by
lofty heroism and unhinching courage
upon scores of battle-fields in Virginia,
does not entitle him to the appointment,
since General Hoke has declined it,
then let it be given to another, who
can show a better record as a fighter
and as a commander of troops.
He has, without ostentation, rendered
his services. If accepted, and he has
the opportunity, it will be seen, that he
will command as ably and fight rs
bravely for the flag of the Union, as he
once did against it.
have written the above as a matter
of plain and simple justice to General
Roberts.

MUNICIPAL LEGISLATORS. Police Department and Liquor-Deal- CTS Occupy the Attention of the
 Charter Eramers,

The charter framers devoted last even ing's session to the consideration of the Police Department and the governing of the liquor question.
 Section 1, which provided for four Com missioners and the Chief to make the fifth. was defeated, and after consider able debate the section was amended to have but three Commissioners-one to re- tire every year after the first appoint ment. This provision will make 1t inn possible for any one Mayor to have the appointment of more than one Comnis- sioner during his term.
 The age at which officers are to be ap- pointed to the force was raised from 21 to 9 at the request of Freeholder Sachs, who argued that man at the age of 21 lacked sufficient judgment to discriminate as to the power of his duties.
 It is made compulsory upon every mem- Der of the force, including the Commis- sionerS to reside in the city and county, and also to refrain from taking any part in politics. The sessions of the CommiS- sioners must be public, and all votes must be cast as yes and mo-, with record kept of such votes, the same to be open to public inspection.
 The section dealing with the liquor question was adopted as follows:
 '"ro grant permits to all persons desir- ing to engage in the sale of liquor in less quantity than one quart, and to revoke any such permit when it shall appear to the board that the business of the person to whom such permit was given Is con- ducted in a disorderly or improper man. her. If the board refuse to grant such permit, or propose to revoke any permit that has been granted, the person who Is refused such permit, or whose permit It Is proposed to revoke, shall be entitled to be heard before the board in person, or through counsel, and to have, free of charge. all reasonable facilities for the hearing on his right to have or retain such permit. It shall not be lawful for any person to sell liquor in less quantity than one quart in the city and county without the permit hereby provided for. Such permits must not be granted for more than three months at one time, and they shall distinctly state the name of the person to whom the same is given and the description of the premises where such business is to be carried on. Such permits shall at all times be subject tC inspection by any member of the depart ment. Complaints to revoke permits granted by the board must be in writ ing signed by the person making the same and filed with the clerk of the board; and copy thereof certified by the clerk must be served upon the party complained against at least five days be- fore the time set for the hearing of the complaint"
 The term of the Chief was fixed at four years, during which period he cannot be removed, except for cause.
 The strength of the force was fixed at one to every 300 inhabitants according to the returns of the United States census.

CUTTING DOWN LIGHT EXPENSES Supervisors Trying to Prevent a Big Deficit
 in Funds.
The City Hall Departments
 Must Be More Careful in Future.
Gas Inspector Taylor May Be Called Upon for an Explana-
 ton.

The finance committee of the Board of Supervisors has decided to adopt rigid measures to prevent the threat ened shortage in the city finances.
 Supervisor Rottanzi chairman of the finance committee, held a conference yesterday with Supervisor Rivers. chairman of the street lights commit tee, in reference to stopping the unnec- essary use of gas in the City Hall. This item of expense amounts to about $2250 per month, and has caused certain offf- cials a disturbance of mind for years past. It Is known that in certain 0ffl- ces gas in large quantities is used where there is no necessity for the ll- luminant, and that if proper supervi- sion over the matter were exercised the bills for gas could be materially re- duced.
 The fact that gas Is burned continu ally in the sub basement of the City Hall has been a matter of comment to those who have supervision over the city finances, and numerous efforts have been made to stop the leak. Un- til the present time, however. no prog ress has been made. The two Supervis- ors called on the Chief of Police yes  essary to keep numerous gas jets burn ing in the shooting gallery of the po lice department. The Chief was not aware that such was the practice, and promised to look into the matter at his earliest opportunity.
 Tax Collector Block was also seen and asked to look into the use of gas in his office. It had been represented to the committee that gas was burned there as late as Il o'clock in the morning, when daylight should have answered all purposes.
 The report of the Board of Supervis- ors will probably call attention to the fact that Gas Inspector Taylor, former ly a member of the board, has not at tended strictly to his duties, and that gas has been permitted to burn in the street lamps at times when the board had decided economy demanded that they be shut off It is expected that by curtailing expenses in this direction nearly 5000 per month will be saved by the city government.
