A m married couple residing in the sixth ward, having vi the misfortune to lose an infant child by death, concluded not to inter the body here, but to carry ? it to their former home (Baltimore, Md.) for interment, and the mode selected to get the body to w that city without paying therefor was novel but dis- ? <nmrin?r The mnther attired the dead hodv in the Iv usual infant's dress, and taking the same in her J] arms, started off for the depot, purchased a ticket, tj. and in due time was landea in Baltimore with her . apparently living child. On the journey the face of the infant was kept partially covered, and no one suspected for a moment but that the little one h was alive and sleeping quietly.? Washington Star, st A remarkable account is given in a late ^ English paper of the escape of a convict from prison. The cell in which he was confined had an tt iron door, with a lock entirely on the outside, tl The only implements the prisoner had were a j wooden spoon, some bits of wire and a needle and thread. Out of the spoon he made a key; by 11 means of the needle he passed a thread .over ana under the door; bits of wire were pushed through the inspection-hole, and fastened to his longthread extending outside from top to bottom. The key C was also poshed through, and, being fastened to ^ the thread, was brought opposite the keyhole by , dexterous manipulation of the slender line worked . gently in, then turned by means of the wire, and " the door was opened. This is certainly one of the p greatest exhibitions of skill and patience on re- ft oord. P A tin box, deposited in 1865 in the United tl States Treasury by Secretary Stanton, has recently t, been the object of a complicated series of investi- 0] gations. The Question of opening this looked and sealed box has been referred backward and forward between the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secre- C1 tary of War, General Grant, and the President.? p Several Cabinet meetings were held on the sub- C jecfc, bat no conclusion was arrived at. Pinally it U] was decided that the authority to break open this rj box of contention was vested in the Secretary of War, who a few days ago detailed General Hardee j?1 to superintend the proceedings. Witnesses were ^ sent for from the Treasury and the Attorney-Gen- ti eral's Department, aod on opening the battered, m dusty box, instead of finding, as it was confidently \\ expected, $30,000 in gold, there were exposed to r view a scarf and water-proof cloak, labelled: "Taken from the person of Jefferson Davis at the time w of his capture by Colonel Pritcbard, of the U. S. n Army." If we may believe the New York World, a filbusteriDg expedition is now being organized in a [is oountry far the purpose of annexing Cuba to w ie United States.

The Foreign Secretary, & erger, who was one of the conspirators, and who is turned State's evidence, testifies to the fact; id a letter, purporting to be from one of tbe TJni- ^ d States legation, Porter C. Bliss, admitting the fc largos against Washburn, is adduced in conurmi- s on. It is said, on behalf of Washburn, that this g tter was extorted by torture, and that Bliss, in w tters to his friends, denies all the allegations. ? Washburn, iu company with the members of his j. gation, attempted to leave the couutry, but while si rocccding to get on board the United steamer tl Va.jp, two members of the legation? Porter C. C1 liss, referred to above, and 31 r, G. F. Piaster- s ian?were arrested by force and detained. Pre- j OU8 to Washburn leaving Paraguay, tho Por- o nese Consul and several Englishmen asked of t< im tbe protection of his house and flag. They j3 ere admitted to that protection, but upon Lopez b aking ademand for them, they were ignominious- ? surrendered, and were told by the United States b tinistor that they might either "go or stay as they tl lought best." The re.-ult was they were carried P T by Lopez's minions. Cl Washburn has reached the United States and is conduct and cowardice are condemned in the ? xongest terms. The United States Government tl as promptly taken the matter in hand, and in- a xuctious have been sent to Rear Admiral Davis r' ) proceed to Paraguay with an adequate force for e io vindication of the national houor, and to re- ^ ress the wrongs that Lopez is said to have com- j) litted upon American citizens. ? b MERE-MENTION. t The South Carolina Conference of the Methodist ? hurch, will commence its next annual session at j .bbeville Court House, on Wednesday, the 16th e f December, proximo.

POLITICAL ITEMS. ?

Grant continues ( ) hold the opinion he used to express, that negro i eedorn does not include negro suffrage. i ? The New York Herald says: "General Grant jcently expressed to an army friend his utter oon- < jinpt of the statesmen who are urging their own 1 lerits as office-holders on him. He said that he j rould make np his Cabinet after he received a , srtificate of election, and then no one would know \ horn he had decided upon until their names got i ltoprint. 'It'sno use planning a campaign until j crahave a war,' said he." ?

POWERS OF THE* TOWN COUNCIL. ] In consequence of a difference of opinion in ref- 1 rence to the powers at present vested in the Town * louncil of Yorkville, that body, at a late meetiog, j eteruiined to solicit the opinion of Messrs.

The reply is presented below, 1 nd it will be seen that it is the opinion of these 1 entlemen that the Town Council is now invested * ith all the powers it at any time possessed f * "o the Town Council of YorkvSle, S.C.: . . In 1849 the Town of Yorkville was in<?rporated J y Act of the Legislature, and certain powers ' herein given to the Intendant and Wardens. This 1 ct was to continue of force for seven ^oars. The ( ntendant and Wardens were to continue in office 1 ne year, and were empowered to ordain and es- ( ablish all such rules, by laws and ordinances re- * pecting the streets, ways, alleys, markets and po- ' ce of said town, as should appear proper for the ' iicurity, welfare and convenience of saia town, and ( 3r preserving health, peace aud order and good 1 overnment; to fix fines not to exceed fiifly dol- ! irs, and appropriate the same to the use of the 1 Corporation; to abate and remove nuisances; to ( cop roads, streets, &c.,Jin good order, and for * aid purpose were invested with all the powers 1 iveu to Commissioner^ of Roads: to compound ' dth persons liable to work on roads and streets, 1 nd receive money in place of labor; to tax real es- 1 ite not exceeding one-fourth of one per cent; to < rent licenses to retail on same terms as Commisoners of Roads were authorized; and to collect i * n a-:- J taxes iiorn ail persous reprceciiuug wuiuu uicir Drporate limits, for gain or reward, any plays or 1 bows. i In 1853, the Council were authorized, at their iscietiou, to issue interest-bearing Bonds, binding n the Corporation; the amount of said Bonds not j exceed five thousand dollars; the Council not to c authorized to appropriate proceeds of Bonds, isued, except to purposes within the scope of the orporate powers before conferred on said ooporaon or thereafter conferred by law. And in and y said Act, the Intendant ana Wardens were aaho.ized to appoint three Commissioners, with ower to assess the value of real estate within the arporate limits of said town. In 1855 the said act was amended by the grant f additional powers. Under this act the Council rere authorized to impose fines for violation of heir Ordinances, not to exceed eighty-five dollars, nd the mode of trial of offence is pointed out: to equire all persons owning lots on Congress or Librty Streets, to make and keep in good repair side ralks; to regulate the prices of licenses to be paid y persons representing within the corporate lim3, for gain or reward, any plays or shows; to impose a tax on ten-pin alleys or other pin alleys and illiard tables; and, to grant or refuse licenses for L.? ?? ? * ? tf An i +1 r\ AWk n t onnhnnaQro 1 tic ^ULUC, tU liupuwa ma vu luuoiauv aw/uwuvvto j j n all hacks, omnibuses, drays, carts, wagons or veticles kept for hire, an annual tax not exceeding ten ] iollars; an annual tax not exceeding fifty cents on ach white male inhabitant of said town, over the ge of twenty one years, and that no person should ?j permitted to vote for Intendantand Wardens < rho had not paid such tax. In 1861 an act was passed entitled "An act to in- 1 orporate certain Townsand Villages, and to renew < nd amend certain charters heretofore granted." i .'he 18th, 19th, 20th, 2lst and 22d sections of said ( ct refer to the town of Yorkville, and therein j lower is giveu to the Town Council to impose a . ax on stocks, stock in trade, pleasure carriages, 1 arriages, buggies, rockaways, and other vehicles ( Irawn by one horse and kept for pleasure, and on i ogs; to make contracts for lighting the streets i rith gas; to use the. jail for the confinement of < risoners committed by them; to try offenders a- i ainst their ordinances and by-laws. And therein ( ; was declared that said act should continue of 1 jrce for fourteen years. ' In 1866, in an act entitled "An act to amend the t barter of the town of Yorkville," the Town Conn- i il are authorized to let out the working of public 1 aads and streets of said town, by contract, to the 1 >west bidder, and impose a commutation tax on j be citizens of the towD, liable to road duty, suffi- i ient to pay the same. * i Iu 1868, in an act entitled "An act to proride 1 >r the election of the officers of the Incorporated f lities and Towns in the State of South Carolina," J be Governor is required to order an election on j be seoond^faesday of November, 1868, in all borporated cities and towns of this State, for the leotion of aU offioevs provided for by the said charerof the said cities and towns. Under that act he present Council have been elected. It-wiH be-seen from the above summary that in lireot terms no charter has been granted to the own sinoe 1840, and that under that act, the charer would have expired in 1856. Bat we are of opinion that by necessary implication, the charer has been extended, and will continue in force rati] 1875. In 1861 the Legislature recognised he corporation as in existeoee, and conferred adlitional rights and powers. The act passed in 1861 iras then of force for fourteen years, and whether >r no it continued to the Council the powers given >y previous acts, it oertainly gave to them for that penocl all those given by the said act. The presrat Council are oertainly dt facto, and we believe it jure in offioe, and authorised to exercise the powers conferred by the various acts of the Legfeatnre recited. We have endeavored above to give i brief statement of the various acts, and the pow m conferred, so that the Council may understand Jxeir duties, and remain, very respectfully, Your obedient servants, G.

There is a promise of something King done to advance the railroad interests of the State, and other projects of internal improvement ire under discussion.

We have been ftvored with the October and ; November numbers of Good Newt?an octavo of < usual magazine size, containing 64 pages. It 1 combines the Religious and Literary: but mainly | the former. Its religion is Christianity, and not the ohurchianity of some I-am-holier-than-thou I denomination. It advocates a discussion and de velopment of those points in which all denominatiops can agree, with a view and in the hope of drawing them all into nearer relations. No purpose could be nobler, nor any more pre-eminently Christian. We cordially commend the enterprise. The Southern Pen and Pulpit was merged into this Good News. It is published by P. S. Wincoop & Son, 108 Fulton st, N. Y., at $2.50. To thoee who, like oorself are weary of polemics, Good News is a grateful relief; and is both an example and a proof of genuine "christiancharity." Negro Education. Dr. Elliott Cooes, an officer connected with the garrison at this poet, has written some capital letters to The Round Table, upon the education of the negroes in the South. He takes the position that the negro mind is both different in kind to that of the whites, and inferior in quality; and hence shows the necessity of separate schools for the education of the two races. This he shows would be better for both the negro and the white. The curriculum of studies for negroes should be, at least fbrthe present, limited to reading, writing and arithmetic, with some general ideas of geography and of the form of our government. The whites of the South are not able to educate the negroes, and the United States government ought to pay for doing it; this especially because the United States Government is responsible for the present condition of the freedmen. The tone, style, and matter of these letters are all fine; and they will have, we trust, great influence in correcting the vague madness?the negro mania in the northern mind. The journal in which they appear?The Round Table?is clearly the ablest weekly published in America; and this fact will go far to give Dr. Coues* views the respectftil attention to which their merits so eminently entitle them. , Fords* Vorkvtne Enquirer.

A correspondent of the New York Time* writes from Galena, 111., (General Grant's home,) a letter eulogizing him and all of his family. He professes to give some of the General's recent utterances. We quote some of them: "I really wanted to carry Galena, and my native village of Georgetown, Ohio, also. "I wonder if that has been heard from? It turned out five West Point graduates, and, during the war, four generals and eight colonels." Gen. Grant jocularly said to Washburne: "Go out and apologize to the boys for my non-appearance, and tell them I am like Sevmour at Milwaukee in 1861?I don't know which way the thing is going." A good deal of amuftement was created by tnis hit at Horatio. Referring to Andrew Johnson, the General said : "Yes, he'll always stoutly attribute the Democratic defeat to their failure to nominate him in New i York." Whenever he has occasion to refer to the De- i - ? iin 1. J 99 I mocracy at all, he applies tne term -uopperneaa, for he only recognizes two parties in the land, one with the rebels, and the other with the loyalty of the nation. Magnanimity and generosity are largely developed in Grant's nature. He is punctilious about observing the terms of the parole given the surrendering rebels to long cu it & not broken by them. Hence his unyielding opposition to any interference with Lee bv Andy Johnson while Lee kept the plighted faith. But General Grant feels keenly concerning the diabolical course of the Kukluz Klan, composed as it is almost wholly of paroled rebels, and countenanced and led by rebel officers; < md he is not jneantiMe to thetalnaUfefbot wt rebels in editorial places can enujrrennk^the tenn )f the parage by advocating 'incendiary doctrind^ 8d fomenting turbalcnce ^ bloodakedL The y foIbmngDi^ele<^o^be^M^crto^me f^T d nkfr thq^yill quiet down, as they;,did after Lee's surSpeaking of rebel impuddnce in demanding powjr, etc., he detailed to me a historic instance of peculiar import He said: "The morning that Lee surrendered he rode out between the lines, and I went, out aad met hisa* md we had a couple of hours' talk.. Lee said he hoped I would offer as niogitentmous terms to'the jtner Confederate armies as his had reoeived. I told him he should, if he wished toservefcia friends, go to the other armies in person and prevail upon them to surrender. He said he would wish to see Mr. Davis first I didn't encourage a conference with Mr. Davis; so that suggestion ended. But what I wanted to call your attention to was this: Lee thought the Southern people would be perfect* ly satisfied to give up all their pfoperty/Mfdall they expected of the Government was to be sc j Kft.

I was-convening with him of the expansion of the western settlements, of the railways to the Pacific, and the grand results iathat direction, while the impious and rebellious Sooth has pined and Buffered. "I think," sati Grant, "that Providence must have had a hand in it, and prevented an earlier reconstruction of die South for two reasons* firs^to keep the tide of emigration and enterprise flowing into the vast and productive West; nod, secondly, to punish the Southern people, through their own agency, for their unoeaongerrors.". ? > ' GENERAL GRANT IE NEW YORK. The New York correspondent of the Charleston Courier writes as follows with reference to the recent visit of Geo. Grant to New York: General Grant, daring die few days that he has sojourned in 'the metropolis, has gained many friends even among those who only a few days since voted against his elevation to the Presidency. Rnoogh has been heard and seen of 4be President elect the past week to know that he is .extremely anxious .not to be identified With the Kayos t ongue; who have brought the Republican party indisrepute with the best men ofthe country. Itisrhdp that; in the common talk of the day, General Grant will have nothing to do with them. When a horde of them besiege bis parlors at the Metropolitan Hold, the General is off to West. Point with the next train, pud this is not an escape of mere office seekers or place hunters, but an escape from men who, onall occasion*; proffer their adviee to distinguished men as to what ought to or what ought not to be done "for the welfare of the country." It as these meddlers that be constantly seek? to avoid, and he has done it, so far, most spcawUty A grand reception was offered him by the Loyal League Crab, and hehas peremptorily decfineato partake of their hospitalities, not that he is Mrous of evading the public gue. On the contrary, he is out dining, wining the rooming noon and night, but be seems to be veiy particular as rto the company he keeps, and app^rt to be equilly desmras of sbowingjn tbisDismocraticcttykt feast, that be is not the President elect ofthe party that elected him, but of the country that now acknowledges him to be the ehoaen Chief Magistrate of the entire Union.
