Procrastination is the Lullaby. —
There seems to bo among the city Demo
cratic voters a strong disposition to deter
mine by inertness whether, after all, there
can possibly be any disadvantage in trust
ing their interests in the approaching muni
cipal election to the prestige gained in
their last bold and successful struggle for
the preservation of the city government to
the administration or a class of citizens
whose interests and character are assurance
that the affairs of the city will be honestly
and faithfully managed. We hardly think
the experiment will work satisfactorily.—
Procrastination of action is a soothing
lullaby, and is admirably adapted to the
quiet, easy-going inclinations of that class
Who prefer to sit down quietly and figure
out on paper the certain and splendid vic
tory they intend to achieve. But our
observation has been that soldiers are re
quired to win victories—not cabinet
officers. Your declarations and assump
tions of strength cannot be too well ascer
tained by practical knowledge of the “ situa
tion” as it now is—not as it was ten months
ago. We raise no alarm. We merely de
sire that our citizens, of the true faith shall
not permit old victories to mislead them.—
Organize your wards club at once. It can
do no harm to get ready for battle, whether
a contest ensues or not. The labor will
surely not be allowed to enter into the
question of providing to a certainty against
the lapse of the city government into the
hands of any of that class expelled at the
last city election.
A Different Version.— On the 29th
ultimo, we published a paragraph charg
ing Freeman Powell with wilfully shooting
Mrs. J. A. Stone, at Kalinin Mills,on Satur
day, 20th lilt. The item was based on in
formation furnished this office by a gentle
man residing in the neighborhood, aud,
from its source, was deemed reliable. Mr.
J. A. Stone makes the following affidavit in
reference to the affair, which gives a differ
ent version :
State of South Carolina, >
Edgelleld County. J
Personally appeared before me, James F.
Harling, Magistrate in and for the State
and county aforesaid, J. A. Stone, who
being duly sworn, deposes and says : That
Mr. Freeman Powell came to liis (J. A.
Stone’s) house, at Kalinin Mills, on Satur
day, 26th September, 1869, very much in
toxicated. After his, the said Freeman
Powell, being in the house half an hour,
while lying on the lounge, near by or where
Mrs. Stone, wife of J. A. Stone, was sitting,
he, the said Freeman Powell, had his pistol
in his hand, which was accidentally dis
charged, hitting Mrs. Stone on the top of the
r-igli4- faiAl... .tfuuid-iuv passing through the
ankle of the left foot. Mr. Freeman Powell
did not ask for anything to eat, or make any
threats. He, the said J. A. Stone, was
present, and knows the discharging of the
pistol to be an accident. He further states,
that on the evening of the same day, the
said Freeman Powell was accused of
shooting at a colored man. He, the said J.
A. Stone, heard the said Freeman Powell
conversing with the said colored man
about the transaction, and he, the colored
man, said lie did not believe that the said
Freeman Powell was shooting at him, but
that the said colored man was frightened
at the balls which passed near him.

Street Ref airs— The energy and in
dustry displayed recently in the repair of
the principal thoroughfares of the city is
worthy of remark. We now observe a
force busily engaged, corner of Centre and
Ellis streets, in making long needed repairs
to the drains at that point. This improve
ment will add vastly to the appearance
and utility ol' Centre street, which lias so
long been the subject of damaging remarks
by irate dray drivers and wagoners, as well
as by the residents of that section of the
city. „ m
The Burning ok the Presbyterian
Ohurch in Greensboro. — The Herald
furnishes the following particulars of the
burning of the Presbyterian Church, on
Monday night:
“ We arc sorry to say that circumstances
strongly proclaim it the work of an inceu
iliaryT The lire broke out about 10 o’clock
at night, when every building was damp
from a recent rain, and tirst made its ap
pearance near the top of the cupola of the
church There had been no night service
in the building for the past few nights, and
a prayer meeting had been held in it at
o’clock, p. m., on the day of the Are. The
colored man who attends to the sweeping
and lighting the church is a man of good
character, and positively asserts that he
had left no matches in the building and
had used no fire or lights in the cupola.”
The University ok South Carolina.—
The Columbia Phmix , of yesterday, notes
further decay in the faculty which adorned
this institution in the better days of our
sister State. There are none so ignorant as
not to perceive that this is the effect of
Radical legislation. What St killed in
jfiorth Carolina it is now destroying in
South Carolina. The Phoenix says:
We are informed that Prof. Rivers, who,
since 1856, has beeu counected with the
classical department in the College and
University, has tendered his resignation,
and designs opening a private academy in
this city. , ,
Prof. Sachtleben, Professor of Modern
Languages in this institution, has tendered
his resignation, and we regret that it is his
purpose to leave us and give to California
the benefit of his skill as an instructor.
The University opened on Monday, with
twenty-five students.
Recorder’s Court.— F. H. Culbertson
was arraigned, yesterday morning, for vio

Select School. —Miss A. B. Coffin ad
vertises to open a select school at her resi •
dence, on Monday, 11th inst. She presents
a list of excellent references as to her capa
bilities.
That Tidal Wave. —The Savannah
News has something to say of that tidal
wave over which our cotemporaries by the
sea have grown humorously apprehensive.
It is thus:
“ The philosophical deductions from
known astronomical observations in rela
tion to tiie great tidal wave, seem in a fair
way of being abundantly verified by actual
experience. The tide for the past two days
has approached beyond the recorded expe
rience of the oldest inhabitant, dating back
two years. Yesterday the wharf of the
Empire Line of steamships was flooded at
high tide. Upon the strength of this pre
dicton of the English astronomer, various
parties have been organized at Thunder
bolt, White Bluff and the Isle of Hope, for
the purpose of shooting the marsh lien,
reed bird, and other semi-aqnatic fowl,
which are numerous in this locality.”
The Wholesale Drug Business. —The
attention of dealers in drugs and medi
cines is directed to the advertisement of
Mr. W. H. Barrett, successor to Messrs.
Barrett & Carter, an establishment of
over thirty years’ standing, and of well at
tested character for purity of stock and
faithful service to its patrons. The repu
tation of the house will not be allowed to
deteriorate under the management of the
present proprietor, and purchasers can
rely upon being served promptly aud upon
as advantageous terms as elsewhere. A
trial will convince.
Property Left to a Missing Confed
erate Soldier. —J. 8. Brown, formerly of
Cos. C, 4th Ky. Regiment, C. S. A , writes
from Uniontown,Ky.,to Mr. John Wooley,
of Edgefield, 8. C., inquiring for a soldier
by the name of Wm. Shirclifl'e, left some
where in the vicinity of Graniteville, 8. C.,
at the close of the war. He was from In-,
diana, and has not been heard of since the
war. He has had some valuable property
left to him, and, if he is not found soon,
will lose it.
The Cocoanut^Question. —A Washing
ton letter of Sunday says : “ The Govern
ment appointees at Charleston, South Caro
lina, seem to be ‘ of few days and full of
trouble.’ One of the appraisers, who is
also a corporation official, recently decided
that green cocoanuts niust lie stamped be
fore being offered for sale in public market.
Commissioner Delano has reversed this de
cision, and it is said doubts the competency
of the ‘ corporation official ’ to execute the
revenue laws. Comment is unnecessary.”
Who Started the Movement. —Swayze
says that the movement of Jeff Long to get
up a Labor Union among the negroes and
pledge them to demand thirty dollars a
month for field hands and fifteen dollars a
month for women is the work of J. E.
Bryant. Whereupon the Forsyth Advertiser
says : “ If the movement should result in
anything serious, we advise our planting
friends to take it Coolie."
The Mathewson Prizes. —The atten
tion of farmers and agriculturists is called
to an advertisement of the regulations un
der which the several elegant premiums
offered by Mr. J. O. Mathewson for the
best product from the use of Soluble Pa
cific Guano are to be awarded, as determin
ed by a committee appointed at the last
meeting of Richmond County Agricultural
Club.
We are In receipt of the October number
of “ Hitchcock's New Monthly Magazine" de

Benjamin W. Hitchcock, No. 24 Beekinan
street, New York.
This is quite a meritorious magazine,
and is fully np with the tide of the times
iu the line of its selection.
Above Water. — The first pier in the
Savannah river from the Augusta shore,
for the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad bridge, is now above water and
progressing. There is an abundance of
material on the river bank for the construc
tion of the piers for the bridge, but the
Fall aud Winter rains will doubtless great
ly retard the completion of the work.
The President Coming. —The Macon
Telegraph says : “ We have been informed
that there is a letter in Macon from the
private secretary of the President, which
states that the President intends to visit
the State Fair in Macon, if he can possibly
do so consistently with official engage
ments at that time.”
Steamer Ur.—The steamer Swan hove
in sight of her wharf yesterday afternoon,
but anchored on Kirkpatrick’s bar, owing
to low water. Too much sand and not
enough water. A tidal wave would help
things. Can’t our facetious cotemporary
of the Charleston Courier lend us a few ?

Colored Porters. —The Nashville Ban
ner reports the appointment, in the Legis
lature of Tennessee, of Elias Polk, porter
of the Senate, and Jesse Woods, porter of
the House, a recognition of the services of
two colored men who have been faithful to

outset.
Small-pox in Atlanta. —-The Era
learns from an intelligent physician that
there are some cases'of smallpox in Atlan
ta. While there is no need of alarm on
the part of anybody, still It is advisable
that the people be on their guard, and not
run unnecessarily into danger.

The Tobacco Tax. —Commissioner De
lano has decided that tobacco prepared by
processes generally employed in the manu
facture of chewing tobacco, using sweeten
ing, liquorice, or sweetening materials, Is
liable to a tax of thirty-two cents, under
whatever name sold.
The Fire Last Night—Several Per
sons Injured.— About 7 o’clock last eve
ning a fire occurred at the furniture estab
lishment of Mr. White, on the east side of
King street, and second door from Market
street, by which a considerable amount of
property was destroyed.
Tite fire originated in the third story of
a brick building in the rear of Mr. White's
store, used by him as a storehouse for fur
niture.
The entire interior portion of the store
house', with its contents, were destroyed.
The furniture burnt was valued at about
twenty-five hundred dollars. It was in
sured iu the London and Lancashire Com
pany. The building was also Insured in
companies represented here by Messsrs.
Colburn & Howell and Mr. J. H. Honour.
There was some damage done by water to
-the houses through which the hose was
carried.
We regret to state that there were a
number of accidents during the fire ; among
them the following:
Mr. John A. Moroso, city editor of the
Courier, while climbing up towards the
fire, slipped and fell from the shed to the
ground, a distance of about fourteen feet,
dislocating a finger of the left hand and re
ceiving several severe contusions on 'the
head. He was removed to the drug store
of Messrs. Raoul &Lynali, where the finger
was set and the other injuries attended to.
The injuries sustained by Mr. Moroso,
although severe, are not, we are glad to
state, considered dangerous. We hope soon
to record his recovery.
A white man whose name could not be
ascertained, received a severe cut on the
head from a falling brick. He was cared
for at the drug store of Messrs. Raoul &
Lynali.
Mr. John G. O’Neill, a director of the
Vigilant Fire Corapauy, while superintend
ing the working of the engine, which was
at the well at the corner of Market and
Meeting streets, fell into the well. He was
immediately rescued from his dangerous
position and carried to the drug store of
Dr. Baer. It was ascertained that Mr.
O’Neill’s shoulder blade had been dislocat
ed by the fall. A physician was sent for
aud the shoulder set.
A colored man named Thomas Haynes
was run over by an engine, the wheels pass
ing over his stomach and hip. He is very
much bruised, but it is thought that a few
days of rest will restore him.
The wounds of none of those who were
Injured can be called of a dangerous
character, and it is more than probable that
all will be able to resume their usual labors
at an early day. —Charlesten News, Ith.
The Longshoremen’s Strike.— The
strike among the members of the Long
shoremen’s Protective Union Association
still continues, and although they were
more quiet yesterday, there were two or
three instances of lawlessness, and early in
the day one man who persisted in working
despite, the threats and entreaties of the
strikers, was severely beaten, A number
of the strikers have consented to work
with those not connected with the as
sociation at the rates demanded. Those
who consented to work upon these terms
were ordered to desist by the non-workers,
but refused to do so. There arc over two
hundred of the strikers still out of employ

. VIRGINIA.
Richmond, October 7. —In llio Senate, the
protest of the Republican caucus against the
legality of the body was taken up ami read at
length. It announces that the Republican
members reserve tothemselves the rigid., at any
time, to secede froth the present Legislature
and organize by themselves a legal and loyal
Legislature. The Senate voted to lay it On the
table. In the discussion, a Republican said he
regarded those who joined in making this pro
test as representing the Administration aud
Congress until the President and Congress
should decide otherwise.
It was aunouuced that General Canhy had
replied to the committee ot the Legislature
which waited on him that he had no communi
cation to make.
Gov. Walker scut in his message. Os the
15th amendment he says: “The people of this
Commonwealth, at the iate election, by an
overwhelming majority, accepted and adopted
the principle sought to be incorporated into
the Federal Constitution by this amendment,
viz : The civil and political equality of all men
before the law. The well known honor and
integrity of the people of Virginia forbids even
the supposition that they would fail to laitli
fully adhere to and maintain, while necessary
and possible, any principle to which they had
yielded their adherence. Virginia, always ful
filled, in the most ample good faith, all her
pledges; but our people, by this action, have
not only placed the political rights of all old
citizens upon a firm and enduring basis ; they
have accomplished much more—they have in
creased prospectively the power and influence
of onr State in the nation’s councils by broad
ening the basis of representation under the 14th
article of the Constitution of the United States.
When in any State the right Os suffrage is
abridged, except for crime, the basis of repre
sentation must be reduced in a correspond
ing proportion, although we have wisely
settled this question, so far as our State is
concerned, and banished forever from the
theatre of State’s polities this prolific source
of irritation aud discord. There is rea
sonable ground for apprehension, that if the
15th amendment should fail of adoption as
a part of the Federal Constitution, our State
may he flooded with, and the control thereof
pass to the hands of a class ot emigrants from
the great Suites lying upon or near our bor
ders, who will seek the enjoyment of these civil
and political rights accorded to them here but
denied to them there. Self-protection, therefore,
demands that we do our part towards securing
the ratification ot that amendment. Ourinterests
require it, our faitli is pledged to it. “He con
siders the election of Senators clearly a re
quisite to admission, and adds: “ Complete
restoration is accomplished by admission to
representation in Congress, aud there can be
no question that admission to representation
may, to some extent, depend upon the repre
sentatives elected. While the election ol Sena
tors would fully complete every preparation
necessary for the prompt admission of the
State to representation in both Houses of Con
gress, the election of suitable men for these
exalted positions would unmistakably demon
strate the sincerity of our past action, and
afford a sure guarantee of our intentions aud
purposes for the future.”
In conclusion, he says: “ Permit me to con
gratulate yon upon the progress already made
towards the restoration of the Slate to civil
government; its good effects are already visi
ble everywhere within the State ; confidence is
being restored ; commerce is reviving; raining
and manufacturing enterprises arc being or
ganized ; capital is seeking investment in our
public improvements and in our rich agricul
tural and mineral lands, and above, and more
gratifying than all, joy and hope are taking the
place of gloom and despondency; peace and
prosperity are once more dawning upon our
desolated land. Conscious ot the rectitude of
our own acts, motives and intentions, and re
lying upon Die continued favor of the Almighty
Disposer of human eveuls, let us all manfully
grapple with (he living present, and confident
ly hope for u glorious future lor the Com'mou
wealih. Respectfully,
“Gilbert C. Walker.”
Richmond, October 7—P. IjL—The Legisla
tureadjourned alter thereadingof the Governor’s
message. The Governor iu his message, of
which extracts were sent at noon, expresses his
conviction that, the Legislature would ratify
the 15th Amendment voluntarily, even if it
was not a requisite to admission. He recom
mends the appointment at this session of the
Standing Committees, in view of the lact that
our educational and judiciary systems must be
remodelled and placed in harmony with the
constitution, aud our internal improvements
demand the gravest consideration.'
The caucus of the Conservative members of
the Legislature to night resolved to adopt the
14th aud 15th amendments at once.
In Ifie joint commiltee on the Governor’s
message, to-day, a proposition by Snowden, of
Alexandria, to add to the bill passing the 15th
amendment a clause showing that it was done
because it was requisite to the admission of the
State, was rejected, only two of the committee
voting in favor of it.
To-morrow an amendment will be offered in
the House to make the adoption of the 15th
amendment conditional on the aSmiission of
the State. This proposition had no friends iu
the caucus to-night.
