Richmond County SufkrTdr Court..
In this Court, yesterday morning, there
were three eases of larceny (colored)
tried, and acquitted;
Recorder’s Court.—ln tliis Court
yesterday there were two 18th Section
cases tried and fined $lO each, or
twenty days work on the streets.
Support Yourselves.—Neighbors (?)
be spry and energetic, and remember
that it does not look well to call on
your younger brother to sustain' you in
your old age. One good haul is suffi
cient. Don’t do it again.
St- Michael’s (Charleston) chimes will
soon be heard again, as the bells were
shipped from Liverpool for that city, on
their fifth voyage across the Atlantic
on the 20th ult.'
Discharged.—The jury in the case
of the freedman charged with being
accessory to the mnrder of young Car
michael, after having been ont over
three daysf being unable to agree, were
discharged on yesterday.
Magazines.—We are indebted to our
attentive friend Quinn for Godey's La
dy's Book and Frank Leslie's Lady's
Magazine for February—both filled, as
usual, with matters of interest and value
to those dearer to us than ourselves.
Mutiny.—There are three United
States soldiers now in the City guard
house on the charge of mutiny, in
threatening the lives of Lieut. Colonel
Sweeny and the Captain in command of
the barracks.
The Richmond County Academy.—
We are informed that the Academy,
now used as a part of the barracks, is to
be turned over to the Board of Trustees
to-day or to-morrow. The frame build
ings will still be retained and used as
barracks.
Bishop Pierce. —This eminent Di
vine delivered two able discourses in
this City, on last Sabbath —one at St.
John's Church in the morning, and at
Asbury at night. Another is announced
by him to mgbt at St. James. Those
who wish to hear him should not be
deterred by the weather, as the house
will be comfortably warmed.
Destitution. The Chattanooga
Union refers to the appalling amount of
destitution among emigrants reaching
that city, who have not means to pro
ceed further. They huddle together
promiscuously about the depot, without
bedding, fire, or food. The charitable
as«o nations are doing what they can to
relieve their wants, but their means are
entirely inadequate.
Fire Crackers Arolished. The
new tariff bill, now before Congress,
prohibits the importation of fire crack
ers. Nearly every city and neighbor
hood has suffered from fires consequent
on the use of these Chinese abomina
tions. '1 he great fire at Portland last
Fourth of July, is ascribed to them, and
ft recent lire in this City was ascribed to
the same cause. Therefore this pro
vision ol Congress will meet the general
approval ot all save Young America,
whose privileges will be seriously
abridged thereby. He must find bis
Christmas diversion iq some other chan
nel.
The AiXex Press.—This it the -title
of anew paper, about to be estnblighed
in the nourishing and boalthfal town of
Aiken, S. C„ by Messrs. Ravenel k
Kirkland. The field is tgffood one, and
with a newspaper properly conducted,
as we are sure the Press will be, Aiken
will be greatly benefitted. We commend
it to the patronage of the public gener
ally and ot merchants particularly. See
the prospectus it another column.
Frecpnen in Tkx«s.—lt seems that
planters of Texas are not exempt
from the difficulties which arise out ol
tho exactions of the freedmeu in the
older States. A letter from Richmond,
Texas, stales that nearly hall the farmers
of that section had not, on the Ist inst.,
made arrangements for sufficient labor
to cultivate their crops, the neg Toes
holding out for higher wages than the
farmers could afford to pay.
Temprkakce Revival.—The temper
ance agitation has been revived in Wes
tern New York, and is creating great
enthusiasm. Thousands of confirmed
inebriates have signed the pledge, and
.there is quite a panic among the liquor
sellers. It is hoped that this reform
may reach Washington before Congress
adjourns, and its emissaries might profit
ably take the place of those pestilent
political reformers who are operating
farther South.
Fine Beef. —We saw on the street
yesterday some splendid Kentucky
beeves, just brought out from Kentucky
by Messrs. John P. Foster and P. H.
Primrose, of this City. They consisted
of two steers and a heifer, weighing, iu
the aggregate, 4,555 pounds. One steer,
six years old, weighs 1,(550; one, four
years old, weighs 1,455 pounds; and
the heifer, four years old, weighs 1,450
pounds. They will be slaughtered to
day, and offered at stalls No. 1 and 9,
on Wednesday morning.
Horses at Auction. —We invite the
attention of our readers, especially our
agricultural readers, to the proposed.
auction sale of horses and mules by Mr.
Dehoney, of the Palace Stables. We
are assured that these horses and mules
have been selected with especial refer
ence to the wants of the country, and
consist of good sound stock, in good
condition. Mr, Dehoney has adopted
this method of disposing of them, as
more desirable than any other—giving
those in want of stock a variety to select
from at the same time, and giving all a
fair chance.
The New Hampshire Democracy.—
The Democrats of New Hampshire at
their late Convention nominated Hon.
John G. Sinclair for Governor, by accla
mation.
A series of resolutions were adopted.
The fourth holds that all States have the
right of representation in Congress. The
fifth that the U. S. Supreme Court has
manifested by its recent decisions a
respect for the only authority which has
legitimate powers. The eighth declares
that all efforts tending to subvert the
Executive are rebellious.
Is Booth Alive ?—James E. Camp
bell states in the New York Times that
while in Calcutta, India, in July last, he
heard a siugular bet of SSOO made, by
Lieut. Wm. Martin Tolbert, of Shenan
doah notoriety, and a gentleman from
Boston, that J. Wilkes Booth was alive,
and that he would furnish proof of it
within six months. The bet arose from
a discussion on the mefits of the conspi
rators in the assassination plot. The
Boston gentleman said that those who
sympathized with Booth ought to share
his fate. Captain Tolbert then proposed
the bet alluded to.
Tin AVeddino.—There was a pleasant
reunion, last night, at the residence of
E. Tweedy, Esq., one of the genial and
popular City Fathers of the Second
Ward, it being the tenth anniversary of
his wedding. Presents of every de
scription, many of which were of the
most amusing character, and all of tin ;
were showered upon the host and
hostess, with a weatlh of wishes that
their bridal anniversaries may continue
and multiply until their friends shall
greet them with a diamond wedding.
The occasion was enlivened by music
and dancing, and graced by the pres
ence of a number of the belles of the
City.
Cotton Stealing.—A freedman,
named Butler, was apprehended early
on Sunday morning in the act of re
moving a lot of loose cotton from near
the warehouse of Pearce, Wheeless &
Cos. He hod torn the bale in pieces,
and thrown it over the warehouse wall,
and was about to make a sure thing of
it, when the cruel watchman put an end
to his anticipations and lodged him in
the Guard House. He has made some
revelations in reference to cotton steal
ing which may be valuable to those who
have suffered front such depredations.
Pretty Men.—A cotemporary has
been to a ball, where he saw a “pretty
man.” His face was round, full, femi
nine—his features perfect, his cheeks
rosy, his eyes large and dreamy, his
hail curly and parted in the middle, side
whiskers and moustache, both long and
exquisitely pomaded—clothes at fash
ion’s height—natty boots —switch cane
—eye glass—padded and laced into an
exerutialingly handsome form—the
gazed at of the multitude.
He is not the daudy proper, nor the
fop common, nor the exquisite ; hut the
male beauty, the most pitiable, perhaps,
of ull mankind. If you see him don’t
laugh, don't exclaim ; he’s an object of
pity, but beyond redemption—let him
go his way—you go yours, thaukiul that
you are not him. His happiest hours
are before his mirror—awuy from it he
is miserable —harmless—the man whom
it were cruel to keep out of petticoats,
hut whom the law forbids the donuing
of them.
Wet War Upon Brothers—A
letter from Macon, Ur., to r Northern
paper, States that fully ono fifth of the
State ia of Northern extraction, and
that they are almost one in feeling with
those of Southern birth or descent.
This being true, does it not afford a
striking illustration of the folly and
wickedness ot the crusade being waged
upon this people by the intolerant fac
tion which controls the government ?
They listen to the representations of
such renegade Northerners as Hunni
cult, Durant, Suffold, and Morse, rnauy
of whom were prominent iu bringing on
our troubles,..hut turn a deaf ear to
thousands of relatives and friends who
are good citizens of the South, and who
are beiug ruined by their vindictive agi-
tation.
Agricultural Fair.—The Execu
tive Committee of the Agricultural So
ciety of Richmond County have ap
pointed the fbllowing gentlemen as a
Committee to solicit subscriptions to
purchase premiums tor a proposed Fair
ot said Association. It is to be hoped
that they will be successful:
First Ward—H. T. Peay, Wm. C
Jones, Ker Boyce.
Second Ward—Joshua K. Evans,
James Miller, John Davison.
• Third Ward—T. J. Jennings, Wm.
A'. Ramsey, John D. Butt.
Fourth Ward—M. O'Dowd, John A.
Bolder, J. O. Matthewson.
Summerville—E. Starnes, Porter
Fleming, S. D. Linton.
Country—A. Deas, Robert Schley,
Adam Johnston, Alex. C. Walker, L. S.
Catlin, W. 11. Hatfield.
Mobile Tribune.—Messrs. Eggles
ton, McGuire & Cos., have purchased
this paper from Messrs, Johnson & Bal
lintine. The latter gentleman, in re
tiring, refers in touching terms to his
earnest labors to build up the paper,
which only those who have encountered
similar trials can fully appreciate. He
says :
But I must drop a tear over my babyi
the Tbibttne, which is now in the hands
of others. I drop that tear, and part
with those whom I love, with so much
pain that, while writing this, the-paper
is wet with the water that falls from my
eyes. I know very well that this is folly,
but who has uo folly ? I quit the paper,
certain that it has been worthy of public
respect, and feeling sure that it will
continue to be worthy of it.
We tender the retiring and incoming
parties our best wishes. The Tribune
is oue of our most valued Southwestern
exchanges.
The PkisTetual Congress.—The
action of Congress in reconvening on
the 4th of March is meeting with niuch
ceusure, even from many radical jour
nals. It is regarded unnecessary, and
by many of them, an unauthorized ex
ercise of power, which will involve a
large expenditure, and which is not
called for by any interest of the country.
It is too palpable that the object is solely
to badger the President, prevent him
from making new appointments, and
throw every possible obstacle in the way
of his Executive policy. And many of
those who are willing to see this done,
are apprehensive that the people will
condemn it, and that the power of the
party will be weakened. It is evident
that the popular sentiment of the coun
try is becoming restless under the wild
and reckless action of Congress, and
there is reason to hope that the next
elections will displace the corrupt and
wicked men who are the authors of the
present condition of affairs.
English Reform.—The so called re
form movement in Great Britain is
assuming such magnitude as to excite
serious apprehensions on the part ol the
Government. John Bright, under the
plea of philanthrophy, is playing the
captivating role of the demagogue, and
has enlisted the support of the
laboring classes in such formidable
numbers that their claims cannot, with
safety, be ignored. It is stated that the
effect of this movement, is impairing
the confidence of capital—which is
always timid under civil or social agita
tions—to such ap extent that a general
prostration of trade is apprehended, con
sequent upon which will come such ex
hibitions of discontent among the masses
as may lead to something more than
paper protests and petitions. Under
these circumstances material conces
sions to the working classes are deemed
probable during the approaching session
of Parliament. The full right of unre
stricted suffrage will not be yielded at
first, but the steady march of the reform
movement points to that consummation;
and it is not unlikely that by the time
that “boon” is conferred on the blacks
of America, it may be enjoyed by the
scarcely less ignorant rabble of Great
Britain. Then comes the test of free
institutions.
Powers ok Congress in the Case
ok a Vacancy in the Presidency.—A
copperhead journal endeavors to excite
alarm by stating that in the event of the
impeachment and removal of President
Johnson we should be plunged into an
excited Presidential election during the
present year to fill his unexpired term,
and then into another the following year
for the regular succeeding term. It
argues that such a political excitement
would seriously disturb the country and
disarrange its business and finances.
Now, there need be no excitement on
that ground, should Congress go so far
as to remove the President; lor the same
law making power—that is Copgress—
which has provided for an election with
in a certain time after such removal,
can repeal this net and make the term
of the succeeding President of the
United States, who would be the Presi
dent of the Senate, extend till the fol
lowing regular quadrennial election. In
that case there would be no election till
1868. Any way, we do not think there
is cause for alarm. Making the consti
tutional amendment the plutform of the
conservative people of the republic for
the final settlement of our political diffi
cullies, with Goneral Grant for the next
President, will pour oil upon the troub
led waters and squelch tbo Jacobin agj
tutors who are endeavoring, for their
own ends, to keep the country disturbed
and disorganized. —New I ork Herald,,
