An East wind arose, chilling one’s body ; and if no precautionary measures were taken, colds and soughs, and other disagreements, will be the result Clouds and sunshine varied the hours. A Portrait Strolling in Schreiner’s, on yesterday, our eye was attracted to the well executed por trait, in oil, of the Rev. James S. Lamar, Pastor of the Christian Church, of tins city—executed by Dr. Kingsmore, of Per. kins' Gallery. Call and see it. Explosion. Some little excitement was produced on the corner of Broad and Mclntosh streets, about 9 o'clock last evening, by the report of an explosion of some kind. It turned out to he a torpedo thrown from a window in the second story of the Washington Hall build j«, on Mclntosh street—hurled by nobody knows who. It made a noise and drew a irowd. Somebody, probably, practising a bit ol devilment. * Superior Court. At the session, yesterday, a nol pros, was tillered in the case of William Priutuu and others (an old case of 1866), for false im prisonment.

A thousand stories new and old have filled volumes, aud evou newspapers condescend to notice these fancy articles from time to time. Modernly speaking, the myth ot the spiritual circles has taken their places ; but for a geuuine witch, we commend the follow, ing to our youug mule friends, und solemnly warn them to keep a sharp look out; “When well form’d features, beauty’s offspring (peak, And health's sweet roses tinge the youtMul cheek, Whou tho bright eye its dangerous power dis plays, Though modesty restrain-* Its softost rays When words polite und scntiiiants refined, Aro vouchers for tho beauty of tho mind, Or mail! or widow—ho sho poor or rich— My heart iu terror whispers,‘There’* a witch.’” What an old reprobate must Sheridan have been, eli,joung ladies? lllne l,nws of Itluiauchnwlls in An cient lime*.

In these days it is questionable if the Judge would not be amenable to the charge himself; at any rate would have to be a pretty shrewd expert to determine the various stages and fines—especially the last.

Aged people, subject to Co3tiveness, or paralysis of the botvcls, are quickly cured by these pills.

Washington, June 10.— Senate. —The citizens of New York petition for a repeal of the law preventing writs against revenue collectors. The conference committee on tho naval appropriation bill reported tlmt master mechanics shall be appointed from civil life. Civil engineers and naval store keepers at navy yards, shall be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate — adopted. Thu Omnibus admission was resumed. The nullification of the Georgia relief clauses was confirmed by a large majority. An amendment permitting relief clauses to operate for the benefit of loyal persons was defeated by an equally large vote. An amendment ordering the inauguration of State officers wil bout unnecessary delay, and declaring elected officers, excluded by Federal laws or the provisions of the four teenth amendment, ineligible—adopted. This amendment caused considerable debate, from which it appears that its opera tion will vacate all offices" to which incom petent persons have been elected, but that all elected who accord with Cougress will be rendered competent in ample time by re tnoval of political disabilities. Senate still in session. At nine o’clock two votes to adjourn was lost. The question under consideration w.is restoring Alabama to the list. Sumner read a written speech. No results will be reached before morning. House: The Committee of Ways and Means reported a bill to increase the revenue and equalize imports and exports. Ordered to be printed.

Washington, Juno 10. —The complication of municipal affairs is unchanged. Bowen is in possession of the Mayor’s office, and still holds on to the City Post mastership. The Republicans in the lower board, by recognizing the register’s certificates, nre all right; but aro crippled in the upper board, where they lack a quorum. One of tho aldermen elected a year ago is now acting with tho Conservatives. No important progress was tn-ide last night on the tax bill. Commissioner Hollins’ resignation being contingent upon the confirmation by the Senate of a successor, amounts to no resig nation. It is stated that Butler and Logan have concluded to hold Woolley in confinement until a quorum of the Committee are present. Governor Bullock was on the floor to day, engineering Georgia matters. Butler has several Ohioans before him. Peter Schwab, of Hamilton, Ohio, had a very easy examination yesterday, but is represented as being much disturbed to day when Butler asked him to explain the following telegrams : “What nan you do towards saving the country ?” [Signed] , Wooi.ley. “Twenty thousand in bund and as much more as may be needed."

New Orleans, June 10.—At noon, 10-day, Conway, I lie newly elected Mayor, presented himself at the City Hall, and presented Mayor Heath with a copy of Buchanan’s order announcing the former's election to the office of Mayor. Heath replied that lie knew of no law authorizing the election in ques tion ; furthermore, that lie did not acknowl edge the authority of Gen. Buchanan tc issue said order. Conway replied that he called, in obedience to the order, to assume the duties of the office, and, if Heath did not acknowledge its authority, he should be under the necessity of reporting the fact to the Commanding General. Heath replied, I decline to give up the office. Conway pro ceeded to headquarters. At half |iast two Conway, accompanied by Captain Dcßussey, of General Buchanan's staff, proceeded «<> the City llall, and in formed Heath that they had come to execute au order, which he presented, directed to Captain Ifeßussey, and signed by tho Adjutant General, directing him to proceed to the City Hall, and install Mr. Conway Mayor. Heath replied that he was duly appointed Mayor of tho city of New Orleans, his appointment confirmed by Congress, and that he knew of no olection, which was legal, of a successor to fill his place ; therefore he did not recognize the authority of General Buchanan to remove him. Capt. Dcßussey retired, procured a squad of police, placed Heath under arrest, and ordered him to deliver the keys and books of the office to Conway. Heath refused to comply without a written order, which was given him. Conway took charge of the Mayor’s office, and announced us his secretary, John W. Overall. While writing Iho orders mentioned, Judge Whitaker informed Capt. Dcßussey that a writ of quo W'drrttnto lmd been issued by Judge Duplantier, of tho Sixth District Court, upon Conway. Capt. Deltussey replied that Couway was installed, and tho writ would tako the proper course, hut it coold not interfere with the duties he wm then discharging. Heath having turned over tho keys and books, be was released upon parole. ' Before sending Capt. Deltussey to instull Conwsy, Gem Buchanan sent a communica tion to Heath desiring his presence at Headquarters at the earliest convenience. Heath replied that he was officially en fWt«di but would call at the earliest opportunity compatible with his official duties. Ilesth, to day, received a letter containing the single work, “Stick,” purporting to bane been signed by fivethousand Republi can friends. Considerable excitement is prevailing throughout the city, and a strong body of police are at the City Hall, Advices from Mexico. Galveston, June 10.-The New York Herald's correspondent furnishes tho fol lowing : Brownsville, June 7,—By a circular order from Juarez to Gov. Saldona, of lamattlipas, Juan Jose de la Garza is declared Constitutional Governor of the Stkte, and ordered to take his seat imme diately. Saldona conferred with the Legislature, and that body issued a decree on the sth calling for Garza’s installment on the first of August next. Saldona says that in the meantime, the Guerra party wtil have secured arms, men, and supplies, to prevent tho installation ol Garza. The national troops at Matamoras say they ate for Guerra; hence, a civil war is at hand. Six hundred bandits fall on Satiilo, cap tured and murdered the City Council, and all the Liberal soldiers on duty. Santa Anna’s Brownsville agent purchased four hundred horses, with equipments and rifles. Ou au understood signal from Regrctc or Ortega, the party will move ou to Monterey. Judge Velasco, of Matamoras, declared, in a charge on the sth instant, iu the case of Dr. Hutchinson, an American Tuxpan colonist, that tbo Mexican authorities ought to pauperise all Americans who tried °to come to Mexico.
