Mike Liuman’s Circus. —The juve nile’s will be pleased to learu that the Circus is coming. See the advertise ment in another column. Light House Oil. —This oil is at tracting considerable attention, and promises to come into extensive use. Several important advantages are claimed by the agents over any other in use—the chief of which are that it is non-explosive and tree from grease. Messrs. Seoiield, Williams & Cos., are the local agents, and have the oil for sale, with a great variety of Lamps. Kerosene lamps are easily adopted to its use. Mr. J. W. Weathersbee of the Fancy Bazaar No. 253, Broad Street, adver tizes for thirty more seamstresses to make clothing, shirts, etc. We learn that this house hereafter will be prepared to supply the county aud city trade at N nr York prices, while furnishing a superior manufacture and encouraging home industry. t Improvements. —ln accordance with recent resolutions of Council, the roof of the Houghton Institute is being covered with anew tin roof, aud trees are being planted in the streets, City Hall and Parade ground, wherever required to supply the places of missing ones.

Sheron.— Pom mil l Francis Sheron died of pul- Rionary consumption at tbe residence of hi* mother, in thia city, at *ix o'clock yesterday evening, aged about 23 year*. Mr. Sheron we* e young man of fine intellectual promise end irreproachable chaiacter. . In 1857 he entered the office of the Evening Dispatch of thi* City, a* an apprentice to the priuting business, and at that early age exhibited those elevated qualities of mind and heart, which rendered him a general favorite. He completed his trade at the office of the Constitutionalist, and was for a time foremau of that office. His thirst for knowledge amounted to a pas sion, and his spare hours were devoted to hi* book*. At length he resolved to pursue a regular classical course, and at the close of the war entered George town College. Iu a few months his health, which was never vigorous, gave war uuder the strain of devoted intel lectual application, and he returned home, tD sink gradually under the in roads of tho insidious diseuse which terminated his earthly career as above stated. It is seldom that we are culled to record ti e death of one so young, who combined in so eminent a degree the pure and elevated qualities which adorn the chartcter, with those strong intel lectual faculties which give promise of future usefulness and eminence. lie will be buried from the Culholic Church at three o’clock this afternoon. The Shoe Trade. —The enterprise displayed by our shoe dealers, both in the extent and character of their stocks, is highly creditable to them and to the City. Country merchants need go no lirther to find full and varied stocks. In this connection we call especial at tention to the large and fresh stock of E. A. Blodgett k Cos., next door to Bones & Brown. + Burke Court. —A writer alludes in high terms to the manner in which His Honor, Judge Gibson, sustained himself in his new position. His charge to the Grand Jury is described as brief, cogent, and forcible, free from an unnecessary display of words, and intelligible to all. Owing to the absence of several jurors, a full panel was not secured until Tuesday, and the Judge had fines of SIOO entered against the grand jurors, and $23 against ihe petit jurors. He is determined to remedy the great and growing evil of attempting to avoid this necessary duty. A great amount of business was dispatched during the week, and the docket was cleared of many old cases of ten or fifteen years standing. One man was convicted of horse stealing, and being recommended to the mercy of the Court, was sent to the penitentiary for four years. South Carolina Railroad. —From the annual statement of the Superin tendent of this Road, it appears that the total income of the past year has been $1,312,738. The current expen ses were $924,906, Paid for recon struction, $376,389. Increase in tbe balance of indebtedness, $188,539. The indebtedness of the Road is $4,169,993. Its assets, embracing bonds, bills payable, accounts, stocks etc., are $710,402, leaving a balance of indebtedness of $3,439,590.40. The stocks held by the Company embrace $17,527,50 in steamship lines, and $262,535,00 in railroads. By the arrangement made for the renewal of the sterling bonds aud fund ing interest on the same, the interest is to remain at five per cent., payable as before. Payments on account of the principal are to be made semi-annually, commencing on thejst January, 1871. Two per cent, will be paid semi-annu ally for five years, thus extinguishing the entire debt. The receipts from passengers and freights on the road have steadily in creased. In January, 1866, the receipts from passengers were $27,526, and from freights, $55,506 ; and in Decem ber, 1866, they were from passengers, $51,829, and from freights, $146,060. At Cost. —Almost anything in the line of ladies’ dress goods and millinery may be had at the store of Mrs. E. H. Pnghe, at New York cost. The Hanlon Combination.—Con cert Hall has been crowded nightly during the past week by the most fash ionable andiences—in fact, they seem to have carried the amusement loving portion of our community by storm. We have said so much already in praise of the performances that we cannot find words to add anything more. The gym nastic feats are unequalled, the dances are capital, the dogs and monkeys won derful, the juggler astonishing, the Sphyux curious, the Shadow Pantomine wonderful, the music delightful, and the entire entertainment excellent. The people will be gratified to learu that they will remain here during the ensuing week, and that several new features, including the Ravel Pantomine of “Harlequin Skelet,” will be intro duced. We understand that several excursion parties from various portions of the State, availing themselves of the liberal reduction of faie on the Georgia Rail road, will visit the City during the week for the purpose of attending the Hanlon performances. To avoid crowding at the doors, we advise alt who wish to attend, to pur chase their tickets at Schreiner’s Music Store during the day. Burning op tub Steamer City op Bath. —This vessel sailed from Boston lor Savannah, on the 6th inst., and when about twenty five miles North of Hat teras,on Sunday last, took fire from a lamp hanging against a partition near the coal bunker, and was burned to the water's edge. Out of 26 persons on board, 22 perished. Great Sal* of Pet GFoods.— l)aj & Inman advertise in this morning’s issue, a great sale of imported Lui«n and other Dry Goods, to taker place at 255 Broad Street, formerly occupied by Jones, Son k Cos., commencing on Tuesday, February 19th, 1867.

There is also a great variety of other dry goods, shawls, goods for gentleman’s wear, etc. Arrangements will bo made for the accommodation of ladies who wish to attend the sale; and everybody is invited to be present. Read the advertisement and dqn'l forget the time. A CARD. To the Public.

The Richmond Enquirer of Feb. 13 says: By telegraph yesterJay morning from Augusta, Ga., the family of Thomas Branch, Esq., of this city, were apprised of the death the night before, of his daughter-iu law, Mrs. Thos. P. Branch. Iv is but a few weeks since she was in this cky, a charming and hnppy bride, beautiful as a dream and receiving the homage ot all hearts for her amiability and loveliness. In all the company that assembled to make their congrat ulates and to wish her and her idol izing husband a long life of wedded bl s, there was not one who was not charmed by her svyeet simplicity and winoi ig grace, and the goodness and gentleness which spoke in every look and in every tone. The affections of all her new connexions were at once cap tured, and they welcomed her as daugh ter and sister, with a joyous euthusiasm. All this loveliness and goodness have been stricken down! Iu two months she has passed from the altar to the grave. How utterly wretched and deso late is her bereaved consort we may not attempt to tell. And near to hint in grief, are the father aud mother whose only child she was. Truly the wavs of Providence are inscrutable. Bn fEclegrapl). TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. FROM WASHINGTON. SENATE. Congressional. Washington, Feb. 16 On Mr. Blaine’s amendment, many amendments were offered. The point on which the Republicans split, is the Confederate veto. . All favor the Black vote, but some seem to abhor the idea of disfranchising whites, and placing the States at the tnerey of the blacks. Oth ers are determined to disfranchise Con federates as a punishment ; others because they fear their influence and votes as dangerous to the country. Several motions to adjourn were nega tived. Propositions to vote at twelve to-night was rejected, and the House finally adjourned without a vote or understanding. In the course of debate, Mr. Doolittle said the South would not accept universal suffrage, but would prefer military rule. Mr. Wilson responded, m.tke them accept it. The Republican Senators held a caucus this morning. Mr. Wilson introduced a bill declaring the amendment ratified an 1 a part of the Constitution. HOUSE. A concurrent resolution of the New York Legislature, approving the Dis trict of Columbia suffrage bill was pre sented. The alleged corruption of members, involving the honor of the House in promising not to do certain things if the President changed his policy, embracing who the members were who carried tbe message between them and the Presi dent, was referred to a select committee of three. Two and a quarter millions were ap propriated lor the revenue cutter service. A bill to build light houses at the fol lowing points was passed : Bradrloek’s Point, Ga.j Comb.thee Baiil;,(Ja.; Tybee Island Knob Ga.; Morris Island, S. 0.: St. Simon's Ga.; Wolf Island. Ga.; Sap elo Island, Ga. Four million eight hundred thousand dollars were appropriated for river and harbor improvements. The South only gets two hundred thousand of it for the improvement of the mouth of the Mis s' * : PPi- A bill providing a President in case of a vacancy, passed. First, the pro tem. President of the Senate ; then the Speaker, then the Supreme Judge suc ceeds. The Senate insisted on its amend ment to the bankrupt bill, arid asked a committee of conference. Stevens’ bill was resumed. Doolittle said it was a declaration of war against ten States. Doolittle closed at half past four. Saulsbury then took the floor, aiid the House took a recess. Washington, Feb. 16—P. M The Republican caucus appointed a committee of seven, to combine Mr. Stevens and Elliott’s bills to apply to all the Southern States. Two hundred and eighty farms, under the Homestead law, are reported from Florida during January. The Internal Revenue receipts of the week, two hundred and a half mil lions. ltuilroad Accident. St. Louis, Feb. 16. Two cars fell through a bridge, thirty miles East of St. Josephs. One man was killed, and many hurt—no South erners. Tcrific floods are washing bridges in all directions. New York, Feb. 16. In the Supreme Court Chambers yesterday, tho case of George Olney, Captain of the steamer Washington, having come on, application for his and isebarge, ou a writ of habeas corpus, was made. The petitioner’s counsel contended that the requisition of Gov Pierpont is invalid, on the ground that there was no such a State as Virginia in the Union recognized by Ihe Federal Government or Senate as spell. That Governor Pierpont had bees appointed Governor by the President, and he had no right to make such appointmeut; that the Gqvernor of New York had no legal authority to expatriate a citizen on requisition of Governor Pierpont, and that we have do treaty with Virginia for the purpose. He signified bis inten tion of traversing a return to the writ and hearing of the case, was set down for that morning at 10 o’clock. Olney was arrested on the requisition of Gov. Pierpont, charged with running off the vessel under an attachment for debt. Proceedings in the case are looked for with intense interest, as bringing up vital questions squarely before the Su preme Court. Specie shipped to-day, $330,000. THE MARKETS. financial.

The Market has been rather quiet during the week, and we have few changes to note. The weather has been favorable for farming operations, and the demand for goods from planters has ma terially slackened, live dull and drooping tone of the Cotton market baa also contributed to this result—planters, generally, being indisposed to press sales of that Staple. The decline of Cotton in Northern and European markets Is due, perhaps, as much to the dullness of manufactured goods, as to the heavy receipts, which are in excess of the general expectation, and point to a crop of nearly two million bales. Tbe receipts of tbe last week show a falling off from these of several weeks previous, and this has strengthened the confidence of holders, though there seems to be no reason to expect any material advance at present. The demand for labor in this section of the State has been increased tbe large emigration of freedmen to the West, and to Southern Georgia and Florida, and few of our planters have been able to secure a full quota of hands. We are pleased to observe a general disposition among the freedmen to make terms with planters, and those who have not been led off by the promise of increased wages elsewhere, have generally gone to work. FINANCIAL. There Is nothing cheering in the financial aspect of the country. Keports from the Treasury depart ment state that the Secretary had not seen proper, in the month of January, to withdraw the four millions of dollars in currency, which he is author ized to do monthly, and the statement is also made, that the public debt has increased five millions during the 6aine month. These facts, with the continued malevolence exhibited by Congress to ward tbe South, continue to effect tbe price of gold; the* also weaken confidence iu State stocks and other Securities- The demand for the latter in this section is quite nominal, owing to the con tinued scarcity of money, which is inadequate to the wants of legitimate trade. Our last quotations for Gold were 137 to 140, and for Silver 130 to 133. There has been very little chauge during the week, and transactions have not been large. Our quotations at tbe close are as follows: Gold, buying 1 37 Gold, selling 1 39 Silver, buying 1 30 Silver, selling 1 33 Tbe Banks continue to check on the North at par. Brokers charge % to %c. off; thirty day bills 1% per cent, off; sixty day bills off. PROVISIONS. BACON.—'The receipts of New Bacon continue ielit, and under a steady demand, prices have stiffened, especially for Clear Sides, which are scarce. We have revised our quotations, to which we refer. Soles of Dry Salted Meat have been made during the week at \\y 2 to 14% cents. Thirty thousand pounds sold at auction on Thurs day at 14 to cents. LARD—Is steady at previous quotations—stocks being about equal to tbe demand. FLOUR.—There is a good demand for Flour at previous quotations. See table. BUTTER.—The market is well supplied with Northern and Western brands, and prices are rallier easier. Country Balter has declined, and is in only moderate request at 80 cents. EGGS -Continue to come in freely, and sell readily at 30 to 35 cents. RICE.—The supply is moderate, hut the advance quoted last week is hardly sustained. We quote to 12 vc. as tbe ruling rates at wholesale. CORN. —Several car loads continue to arrive daily, but under the active demand, stocks do not increase.
