Fillmore Fire (ouipauy, No. 1.
This tine Company was out yester
day afternoon. Their beautiful steamer,
which appeared to be in excellent trim,
was subjected to a protracted test, on
Broad street, and, we believe, per
formed to the entire satisfaction of the
members. The trial was witnessed by
large numlKrsol' ladies ar-. rqntlenien
and children, the latter ot whom, es
pecially, enjoyed the “spouting” pro
digiously.
Beal This.
A New 1 lampshire editor, who has
been keeping a record of big 1 touts,
announces at last that “ the beet that
beat the beet that beat the other beet '
is now beat by a beat that beats all
the beets, whether the original beet,
the beet that beat the beet, or the beet ,
that beat the lied that beat the beet*”
That editor must bejt “dead-bait.”
The biggest beat heard of lately
occurred on Tuesday last.

alogne of failures can be traced to the ’
ruinous system of high prices and big

This being undeniably true, we na

with small profits, will execute their
orders promptly, in the best manner, (
and at low prices.

A Timely Rebuke.
At a recent dinner, at which no ]
ladies were present, a man, in respond
ing to the toast on “ woman,” dwelt
almost solely on the frailty of the sex, ,
claiming that the best among them
were but little better than the worst, I
the chief difference being in the sm"
roundings. At the conclusion of his
speech, a gentleman rose and said:
“ 1 trust the gentleman, in the appli
cation of his remarks, referred to his .
mother and sisters, and not to ours."
Au Aflaii* D’Femme.
A contest between the friends of 1

in high words, but. drawn pistols and <
knives. 1

The Lottery-
We ,observe that, certain newspa
pers ot the Slate continue to publish
ihu .adviftlsemt'ut of lire so-called
“ Georgia State Lottery, for the
benefit of tho .Masonic Orphan’s
Home.” This shows, conclusively,
that the infamous machine is still
being run in- open violation of Inv
alid we call upon tlie officers of the
biw, whether local or State, to take
immediate steps to abate the nuisance,
ami punh h the managers ami agents
for their persistent violation of the
law.
A Kentucky Elopement.
The Cynthiana Democrat of the
28th ult. discloses all the facts about
the elopement and marriage of a
yvuifg gtatlleman of Louisville and
one of tne Kefles of Lexingtoit. This
is the Democrat's narrative : Getting
aboard the Covington-bound train at
tip. m. on Wednesday last, we were
soon made aware that a genuine rtuia
xVay party were bound for the Buckeye
State, and evidently determined to
enter the slate of matrimonv. The
anxious look and eager watchiug of
the intended bridegroom at everytele
graph station along the route, showed
that he was apprehensive of pursuit.
While thus meditating, the intended
bridegroom was introduced to us, and
soon tlie det ails to be carried out when
we reached the city were arranged, and
we Irecumq one of the party. Accom
]>anyiiig the couple xvas Mrs. M ,
from Lexington, a lady famed no less
for her beautiful face and commanding
form than her refined and elegant man
ners and agreeable conversation- —
When the train reached Covington,
our party secured a “bus” for the
Burnett House, ami off we started.
On reaching the bridge we were ab
ruptly baited, and a detective police
man, with searching glance, closely
examined the faces of the young ladies
until his eye reached and rested upon
tho fair young lass, whose bright eyes
glistened like diamonds from Golcon
da’s famous mine, mid for whom he
was evidently in search, closely ques
tioning her as to name, residence, and
also the station at which she took the
train, the answer to all of which she
evaded with a skill only to be found!
in the intuitions of woman.
He left, evidently thinking that the
lass must have been in another “ bu-.”
The river crossed, tlu- party deemed
the difficulties over Arriving at the
Bin net House, rooms were secured for
the ladies, while the geiitleupm, taking
a hack, SoonTea-clred the residence of
Colonel Webber, the Clerk of the
county, and applied to him for license,
stating the yoqng lady’s mother was
willing to the marriage, and if it was
necessary dor the Colonel to see her
that they would willingly escort him
to the, Burnett, i<hcre Stic was then
stopping. Colonel Webber assented,
and returned to the hotel with t hem,
when-Miss McG——, with her sup
posed iiioflicr, were presented to him,
mid after a brief conversation with
the mother, lie informed the gentle
man he was ready to return. On
reaching the hack he was asked it he
wi/s ‘satisfuM p'liis was, “T
am satisfied that never a grown daugli-
Jer Juid a young mother,”' This

Tallahassee, Fla., November 7.
About nine o'clock last night., citizens
to the number of one hundred or
more were summoned by the city and
county authorities to hold themselves
in readiness to aid in quelling any
riot. At eleven o’clock there were no
indications of trouble, and the posse
were discharged. The cause of the
call was the conflicting orders from
Gov. Reed and Lieut. Gov. Gleason,
and fears were entertained that the
colored people would be called upon to
support the action of the Legislature.
The citizens were uneasy to-day, but
will not interfere except to aid in
preserving the peace, when prompt
assistance xvill be rendered. There are
rumors on the street to-day that the
plantation negroes have been notified
to come in to-night. One company of
the Seventh Regiment have reported
here.
The Legislature adjourned this
morning till January, no quorum
being present.
AV hen the impeachment passed,
several memliers held their seats and
voted' whose seats had been declared
vacant by proclamation of the Gov
ernor, by reason of said members ac
cepting and occupying other offices.
Governor Reed refuses to recognize
the action of that body, ami deciaresit
illegal. Lieutenant Governor Glea
sbn, this mofning, demanded posses
sion of the Executive Dc]>artment, and
was refused by Governor Reed, who
has brought suit against. Gleason and
Alden, Secretary of Slate, by the
Circuit Judge, for conspiracy against
the Gvvermnent, ami they arc now
under arrest. This case will be
brought up to the Supreme Cqutl.
The general impression seems to be
that Reed is in tlie right.

Thu following are the articles of

1. He has been guilty of falsehood
and lying while transacting business

other officers of the State.

inasmuch as he has filled commissions
to officers in blank, and other iiTcspon
sible parties having issued them.
3. lie has issued a proclamation de
claring many seats of the Legislature
vacant before the members duly elected
and returned had resigned, or their
legal term of service expired.

ment, having taken from the State
Treasury' securities and money, and
sold such securities, and then fuileil to
return a portion or all of the proceeds
of the sale to the Treasury.
5. He has been guilty of corruption
and trickery, he having bartered and
sold prominent offices in the State to
sundry persons for money to him in

and many other crimes and misde
