Race Trouble In Charlotte The citizcms of Charlotte have been in a terrible state of excitement since lost Saturday right, growing out ofibe murJer of J. II. Moccq, a quiet, industrious and inoffeusire Italian fruit vender,' by "a negro gambler named llrndliam, who called at Mr Mocco'i store jusi nt> he waB closing it, and asked for a glass of cider, and while in the act of drawing it the negro struck him behind the cm with a ccupling pin, crushing in his skull and from which he died next morning. Mrt, Mocco heard the negro ask for the cider, ant the coupling pin waB lying near the dyinj man when he was disoovercd by pobcemet a short time after the deed was committed The report of the murder caused great exci'omcnt among the while citixens, and suspicion fell upon Brndham, who was arrested next morning on his way to church, and i handkerchief was fouad in his pocket with rust on it and also bore ilie impress of (lie coupling pin. Lynching was freely talked of, butadoubl ns to the negro's guilt, together with the the ci y with the torch. A party of them gathered in a church, tlien sent to the jail to ask the Sheriff" t> send them a guarl, and a military squad was sent, but before it could be formed in line, it was fired upon by negroes in the cupalo of the chnrcli, which, naturally, si incensed the soldiers that tlicy returned the fire and, it is raid, riddled tke building. At that juncture, it required all the persuasion and cool discretion of the white people to prevent a bloody conflict between the races. From nil the reports, nothing was done by the while people to warrant such outrageous vonducton the part of ihejnegroea, but we arc told the colored preachers of the city are most to blame, for tliey incited them to violence. I t Tlio city ia quiet and no further trouble ia feared. . . ' ' ' - Another Uianoh' VrtkH'SSiTl. 1 .

Grading will begin ns soon as the surveys have been made." In this connection we venture to express our opinion upon the future railroad movements in and through this part of the Piedmout: We bc'ievc the o ("a roal witl go into the hands of another company, and the Augusta branch will be completed; and that at no distant day. We still believe that a railroad will be built from Charlotte to conasct with this branch of the 3 C's. at or near this point?

Mr. Editor, you ars right in your position n regard to the "State Industrial School for Vomen." Press that matter, and if the teople of the town and eountry don't come o your assistance they will tore a golden ppoitunity. By all means let the girls isve whatever educational aivantrges wo an giro tbem. They are entitled to tbem. We were made the victim of a false minor wo weeks ago, that Capt. J. T. Moorhead lad come near being drowned ia Tbiokety tear Owen'e Ford, which we reported in hose columns. We verily believe tbatrif all he descendants of the rooster that reminde 1 'eter of his falsehood wou'd ersw everyime a lie is told they.would make such a ! loise we couldn't hear the hens eackle. We have bern severe'y "boycotted by tome of our quandom friends for having nade the assertion that the wh te man who plays oards with a colored man, fur either run or money isn't as good as the negro.'" rbe only apology we can make for this remark is we regret the cause that led to it, but not to the assertion of itself. Therefore, "let the heathen rage." The killing of the road dog mentioned in our last week's letter deserves more than a passing not:ce: It came to Mr. Peeler's shout dark on SaturJay night and went into an old out bouse. Mr. Peeler shut the door and made it safe until rooming, when Col. Hatson Bullocks cams to see it. He opened the door a little too wido and the dog rushed out past him and made at Mr. Peeler, who (truck it with an axe and aldtei it. In its effort to get awsy i' became entangled in a coil of wire and Col. Bullocks Jield it until Mr. Peeler g"t his gtkn an 1 killed it.

The Bird Banting Explained. Bantuc, Ma'ch 18.?Editor Uxiox Timbs. ?As your correspondent "E. W. J." has had considerable to say through the Timbs about bird hunting in this locality, I desire to state to the readers of the Timbs the Tacts as regards what bird hunting I did. In hia first letter be says,?"bird hunting hat is done ?oltly for money." "It seems bat a party is organised for the purpose of tilling birds for ra'e." "It is impelled by jreed to satisfy their own extremely selfish timrt" "To gloat over the almighty dollar." kc. &c. Tho above assertions are ?roes misreprelentations, uttered with the most malicious ptent. I sold a few hundred birds to supply a demand for them. I have hunted partridges for thirteen years and never sold >ne until last winter, which proves the falsity >f his allegation, that it was dons toUly for nooey. We used many birds at home this season, leverarseeeons pssYY baviHuin'teci partridges" for the plesur e it afforded only. There never lias been any understanding between me and iny other bird hunter in regard to killing birds for sale, which provei eonelnsively the falsity of bis representation that in soiling the birds I was impelled by greed, &e. Ac. A kind providenoe has, with my own exor. Lions, provided for me and mine, indepenlent of bird money. Some people aroused t> so little money that they think othor persons almost go orasy like themselves when they see the "almighty lollar" coming into their possession. In his seoond letter, in reference to bird bunting he says that he was colled from a listance to "come by." I was within ten iteps and merely said I would like to see trim. He slightly turned and I never heard iiu> soy a word, nor did I see him open his inoutb, and he did not change the gait he sos wa'king. He would not step aside as I requested, and therefore, when a man with natioious intent makes a false statement concerning any one, through the press, (whieh s open before the world,),and wi'l not be aurv .wed ifl p nripls insntvir ihtn. f.tft.

I am satisfied with the way in whioh the Creator allows ne to walk and talk, and "E. W. I." might ts well be.

Ere long the streets were alive with chi'dren, gaily exhibiting new spring dre ses and hats, and bow proud they were of their dainty garments.

It is a substantial building of grey a'one, of O >tbic architecture, and on the loft near (ho organ is a tablet which Id's that the bouse of worship is due to the earnest and arduous labors of Judge Thomas Dawkins. I entered tho church a few moments before service, so had a chance to loblt at tftrtM lUUftll (ItUOnUllW. The obancel was tastefully arranged in calla lilies, jonquils and many flowers of spotless white, while beyond the ohnnoel rail a mass of g tvge .us (lowers was seen.

At half past three o'clock Iwaent to the children's service, at the Methodist Churoh, which was beautifully decorate 1 with a profusion of evergreens, flowers and potted plants. Indeed the calla lilies which were there are the most luxurious and handsotnost ? I have ever seen. The service was entire'y conducted by the children, with the exception of a prayer and a short address madekn the pastor, Rev. W. I. Herbert, and the oxer-^ cises consisted of rec tstiens, hymns, and the reading of a let'er asking tho co-operation of a 1 the Sunday schools iu erecting (he Scanctt Traioing school, was read by the youthful secretary. Then tho children's offering was made for the above mentioned school and amounted to $26 ; then the doxology was auog. Many of the congregation then hastened lo the Episcopal ('Lurch, whero the children belonging to that Sunday Schools were to have a service. 1 followcl the many and soon found myself within thosi hallowed walls again. The sorvioo was very sweat, and the childreu walked up singing and bearing the'r banners to the cbancet where taey presented their Ea?ter offering, anl while standing there the rector addi eased a few earnest, lovuMMmt^to these lymbr 'Wk tan-- wh ?w?B a vory pleasalt featuie to me in this land of eunsbino and flowers is the kinJly feeling and ; constant intercourse which exists between thel^*^?t'ent creeds.

The cburoh was filled to overflowing by the people of the town, and the servioe was full of interest and very impressive. The sermon was preached, with his usual earnestness, by ilio the rector.
