WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 16, 1SC7.
LOCAL MATTERS.
To OUR SUBSCRIBERS.-We would call the atten?
tion of thosowho are indebted to us thr<-??sbout
tho country, that the old year is closing and their
accounts are uot yet settled. Tho price of sub?
scription is not largo, and will not be missed from
their plethoric pockots. The first of January has
long boon celebrated as a day set apart for closing
old accounts, and wo would not havo our friends
depart from this time-honored custom. Money is
tho motive power of every enterprise, and news?
papers are no exception, and wo respectfully ask
' our country subscr.bers to cash up and commence
tho new year with a clear record.
PERSONAL.-The Hon. FERNANDO WOOD arrived
in the city yesterday afternoon, by steamer, from
Savannah, and is stopping at the Mills House.
AT AK oxtra meeting of the Young America Fire
Engine Company, held on tho loth inst., JAMES S.
WESTENDORFF was unanimously elected President,
vice A. N. PONDT, resigned.
REQUIEM MASS_Attention is directed to the no?
tice in another column of a MaBS to be offered up
at St. Mary's Church in behalf of the late E.
MOTTET.
GODET, FOR FEBRUARY.-Our thanks are due M.
M. QUINN & BRO. for tho February number of
Godey. It is, as usual, filled with excellent fashion
plates and interesting reading matter.
FREUNDSCHAFTSBUND.-Again the members fof
this club and their friends enjoyed a fine musical
and dramatic feast. HERR PTETSOE played his
part well. The last piece, "Guten Abend, Herr
Fischer," was excellently rendered, and afforded
much amusement to the audience.
THE TRIBUNE ALMANAC--We have received a
copy of this Almanac, valuable for its statistics
and for r?f?ren?a as to other matters. Barring its
political tendencies, it is the most valuablo publi
cation of the kind in the country. Published by
the Tr.bvne Association, New York.
.ANOTHER EXHIBITION COMINO TO TOWN.-We
learn that we are shortly to have a panoramic ex?
hibition of "Paradise Lost," the same as that ex?
hibited here last year, to which will be added rep?
resentations of the "Apocalypse," from the recent
designs of GUSTAVE BORE and JOHN MARTIN. Re?
port speaks very highly of this exhibition.
SHOOTING.-We understand that a few days ago,
a very trusty and intelligent negro man, of the
name of Frank, who was the overseer npon the
plantation of Mr. J. BENNET BISSKLL. at Comba
hee, had been shot and killed by another negro,
who was working upon the place as a bricklayer.
The murder, as we aro informed, was a foul ono,
and the offender has been arrested.
THE ATMOSPHERE.-The past two days have been
unusually warm, and a stranger, who was not ac?
quainted with the variability of our climate, would
be led to think that the Almanac was mistaken,
and that it was spring instead of the depth of win?
ier. Although the air has been very mild and
temperate, yet there was a sultriness connected
with it that made it unpleasant and oppressive.
The moisture exuded from the pavements and
marble floorings; and houses in damp situations
were uncomfortably moist, while the streets looked
as if they were just recovering from the effects of a
alight shower. Overcoats were generally discard?
ed, and fires were only made from habit, and the
coal market was decidsdly flat, few investments
were made, and private parties were considering
tho advisability of disposing of their stock on
hand. At 9 A.M., yesterday the thermometer was
at 64. The weather-wiBe have been completely
disconcerted by the change, and the prophets
haverenounoed their calling in despair, while the
community think that it is an "ill wind that blows
nobody good," andar? thankful that the poor
are spared the sufferings oocasioned hy a severe
winter.
THE NEW CUSTOM HOUSE.-In tho good old
days we read about-the ante bellum era-it was
decided hy the powers that be-the heads of the
nation-that Charlea ton should have a new Cue
tom House- one suited to hor commercial pros
perity-and that the old building that served the
doublo purpose of Post?nico and Custom House,
he discarded.
Preparations were immediately commenced on
an extensive scale, and the lot at tho corner of
Market and East Bay streets was drained, filled
np and piled until it was sufficiently firm to bear
the weight of tho building. This was designed to
he the finest structure in the city, and great pains
were taken to make it ar. edifice equal to Uncle
Sam's ambition, and worthy of the port of
Charleston.
The labor of building consumed several years,
and when the war commenced it was still unfinish?
ed, and the appropriation of $5000, made hy Secre?
tary COBB, was employed in roofing it, in order to
preserve it from the action of the weather. During
the war more momentous questions agitated the
minds of tho Confederate Congress, and the
Custom House was neglected and abandoned.
Tho yard and wharf were soon thickly covered
wita an undergrowth of myrtie and weeds, and the
granite columns and unfinished blocks that were
scattered around became completely hidden from
view.
At present its condition is hut little improved.
Tho grounds have still the same wild appearance,
and although the Collector uses the basement as a
storehouse, no improvements have been made,
sud evidently none are intended. The masters of
the position at Washington have seemingly DO
wish to make any appropriations that would bone
fit the South ; and although our commerce has
improved since the war, and the necessity for in?
creased accommodations will soon be as urgent aa
they ever were, yet the Government ia content to
rent buildings that are unsuited for the purpose,
and the Granite Custom House is suffered to stand
in its present unfinished state, as a monument to
reprove ns for our late rebellions course.

THE FITNESS OF THINGS-We forget whether it
was LUTHER or WESLEY who remarked that he did
not see why the Devil should have all the good
tunes, and tho Church only those of a doleful
character. Certain it is that there is a prevailing
prejudice atili widely existing in favor of solemn
music for the Church service. Some there are who
think that the music should, in all cases, oe
adapted to the words, but this idea is not unfre
qnently treated by the professors of the tuneful
art as antiquated. Such a strict adherence to the
'letter" is thought to bo vory injurious to the full
development of the divine muse. This train of
thought was suggested by attendance at church
recently, not many hundred miles from the Pal?
metto city. The minister "gave out"
"JPlungcd in a gulf of dark despair."
After an elaborate prelude the choir struck up
"Gratitude,"-an adaptation, if we are not mis
taken, of a German waltz. After the first stanza
had been snug, tho organist showed his taste, and
enlivened tho audience, by giving the aria, with
variations, of course, of "Still so gently o'er me
stealing." Tho second was sung, and for inter?
lude followed a few bars from "A life on the Ocean
wave." Then the choir gavo the third stanza of
tho hyum, which was relieved by an aria from
"Masauiollo," and so on to tho end.
For somo unaccountable reason, ministers do
Dot like this arrangement. And wo ourselves
think it would work much bettor to let the organ?
ist or leader of the choir first "give out" thc tune;
the rector can then adapt his hymn to it after?
wards. We throw out this hint as an experiment
meroly, not feeling quito sure whether or not it
.will work.
THE FINE ARTS;.-Tho Council Chamber has
been so ofton remodelled that it has become
gradually transformed into an apartment that
might vie with a ladies' boudoir for the tasty ar?
rangement and elegant style of the furniture,
paintings, ?SM. Tho number of tho lattor havo
been lately increased by tho addition of two fine
half-size and iifc-liko portraits of Generals R. E
LEE and Stonewall JACKSON. Thesa two glorious
t .'tains aro on oither sido of the desk-look
calmly on, apparently as much at home in the
cabinet as they wcro in thc field. Tho gilt frames
make these portrait? very attractive, and they add
greatly to the appearance of a room that could
hardly bo improved upon. But besides the fine
arts, other improvements are visible. The massy
chandelier and brilliant gas fixtures are of recent
finish, and owe much of their present beauty to
the hands of Mr. BROOKBANKS. a veteran gas
filter. The Council Chamber has been'made so
very attractive that it is Buprprising that the
Aldermen do not alter the Constitution so as to
meet there every Tuesday instead of having it
fortnightly, as at present.

ST. MICHAEL'S CHIMES.-Th? gratifying
geiico was received hero A few days ago thal
hells, eight in number, had boen remouldc
wero shipped on the Gladstone, which vessel
from Livorpo ol cn tho 23d ultimo. This anne
mont, we know, will be hailed with joy by tl
tire community, to whom tho bells wore a i
failing source of pride, and whose sweet cl
when one ^ heard were never forgotten. Bi
long, long, weary days aro passing away
Father Time, with his leaden wings, will
bring the joyful intelligence that once mor
oars are to bo regaled and our senses delight
tho joyful peals that were wont to issuo from o
Michael's tower. ThB bells were sent to the :
dry from whence they were originally obt?
many yoars ago; and they will come to us,
their second birth, fraught with many rec
brances of the past, but will ring out boldly
exultingly of a hopeful future. St. Mich
chimes and Charleston aro inseparably connel
and their resurrection and reconstruction wi!
received as an omen of good, and with their ?1
sounds again pealing upon the ah', tho past wi
forgotten, and, like our moro energetic broth
we will commence to make a history that will
Charleston again before the world aa the Qi
City of tho South.
THE SEACOAST ROUTE FBOM NEW YOEE TO ?
ORLEANS.-Hie true policy for all th2 seabo
cities of the South to pursue in roferonco to
great through travel, is to urge, hy all the me
in their power, tho speedy completion of the ?
board route. This is the only lino that will g
Charleston and Savannah a fair share of the r.
senger traffic from Now York to New Orlea
Owing to the level nature of the country, a sc
dulo may be iain upon the shortest line along :
seacoast that will defy competition in Bpoed. 1
following notice of the probable early construct
of a railroad from New Orleans to Mobile, wi cc
trom an exchaus c. This road wJl form a vaina
portion of this throush connection :
Most of our readers will bo surprised, and
will he gratified to learn that c^riitalii-ts of am]
means have united into a company, which w
within fourteen months, construct the long need
railroad hence to Mobile, bridging tho Rigole
and placing the dehghtfu coast towns of Miss
sippi within two or three hours' ride from Cai
street. Hardly any announcement could be rne
gratifying to our permanent residents, so many
whom do now and so many more would wish 'o' ?
joy the refreshing breezes and invigorating bat
it these placos of resort, beside the multitude
3th era who need such a road for extensive trat
md transportation of goods.

COUBT OF GENERAL SESSIONS ANO COMMON PLEAS
!he Court met at 10 A. M. yesterday, and a suffi
ient number of Jurymen answering to theil
ames, the following Grand Jury was organized:
W. S. HASTES, Foreman; WM. MAHER, E. F
WEEGUN, H. K. SELLTKAN, W. Ft BAHNTJE, JAMB?
frLLXLAND, J. H. STRATTON, A CALDER, JOH*
?AXER, JAMES BURNS, C. SAHLMANN, W. F. ELLER
EE, A H. LAND, F. DEEGHNAN, J. M. SADWASKI.
I. TUCK, JOHN ELEXNJOHAN.
The Judge briefly charged the Grand Jury both
a their duty and on the offences and crimes that
ould be committed to them for their decision,
.'e stated that in their body twelve must agree; if
lay found themselves unable to come to such an
jreoment, they wor be obliged to return "No
UL" It was not necodBary to examine every wit
ass if they were satisfied of the guilt or inno
mce of the accused by the testimony of one or
ro. The offences charged in tho indictment pre
tnted to them were capital crimes-three of them
?r murder and one for burglary. In all of these
ises the evidence consisted of a class of persons
ho havo never before testified, but it was now the
w of tho land to admit this testimony, and that
was highly satisfactory. Though as a class, ne
?oes were not intelligent, it perhaps rendered
.em in ?orne instances more reliable, as it was
ipossible for them to concoct a statement that
mid deceive.
He defined the crimes of murder and burglary
early, and stated that it must be upon their hon
t convictions, caused by the nature of the evi?
nce, that they decided on the character of the
IL
He also advised them to visit the publio budd?
en and report upon their condition, and upon any
.ong doing, oppression, or grievance which
raid, in their opinion, need redress. They were
e conservators of tho public and had great du?
's to perform, and had taken a solemn oath to
?charge them faithfully; they had each sworn to
ep the secrets of themselves and fellows, and
latever passed in their counsels should bo kept
violate. The following bills were handed them
the Attorney-General :
rhe 8tate os. Reuben T. Walling. Murdor.
The State vs. Jno. Jenkins and Scipio Fraser
as Jno. Wilhams. Murdor.
rho State vs. Horace Greeley alias Johnston, and
ihn Bull ahas John Bennett. Murder.
The State vs. Isabella Clark. Burglar}'.
rhe Grand Jury found no bill in the first case,
d a true bill in tho others.
The prisoners in each case in which a true bill
,s found, were arraigned, and upon their assign?
ant plead not guilty.
rhe trial of John Jenkins and Scipio Fraser was
pointed for the 22d. That of Horace Greeley and
un Bull for the 18th. Hon. J. B. CAMPBELL was
guested to defend the first, and R. W. SEYMOUR,
q., the second. The trial of Isabella Clark will
ce place on Thursday.

J. S. DISTRICT COURT.-The Court met at ll A.
, Judge BBYAN presiding.-The case of Libel
s resumed. Captain SMITH was put on the .
nd, and in the course of his examination by the c
jtrict Attorney, certain questions were objected 3
by the opposite counsel as being irrelevant, as
i cases upon which the witness was questioned
I not bear upon the present trial. The District ^
torney, in a lengthy argument, defined his posi- ^
n, and quoted from Judee STOBT, PHILLIPS and t
i State authorities, to provo that such testimony j
B admissible. 8
Mr. BUIST, in reply, showed that the tosti- "
my of the last two witnesses had been refused
the Grand Jury, who found no bill in the in
?tment against Capt. BONNEAU for smuggling,
e present case was for tho forfeiture of tho
isel for cn illegal landing of stores, and the
dy of the respondent was a flat denial of any r
>wledgo or connivance on hib part of said Un?
ding and landing. To bring up other cases
it had plainly no bearing on the ono in issue,
1 to endeavor to prove a connection through
neases whose testimony had no weight with tho
md Jury, was clearly not legal ovidonce, and Q|
ate ver they might say could not influence tho ^
ie. tl
Tho Judgo, in reply, stated that if tho cases in
ved the landing and the knowledge of the act,
f evidence bearing upon that point was admis- *
le. What transactions tho Captain of tho Grape- Y
)l was engaged in, and what he did at that time, ^
re not important as connected with thc present _
.ding, but if it could be proved that any arrange?
ais in regard to lights, &c, were made, it might
allowed. He could seo no bearings upon the
?sent case, as the law required that tho ovidenco -,
ist show an intention to defraud; and the tes- *-?
?ony was therefore ruled out, as not affecting the
io in ?8B:;o.
ttr. B. J. PABKEB, Mr. JOSEPHUS WOODRUFF and
\ JOHN HORLBECK, Custom House officer?, testi- S
i to having found the segar? concealed in the -cv
uso No. 29 East Bay, and hpving them carried
the Custom Houso stores, where they wore ap
lised. One lot of 5000 at $100 per 1000, and the ?
i or lot of 1050 at $80 per 1000. Mr. EFF-LNO had
a
valued the segara at $?50, The bananas were sol
0 I by order of Court; they had been valued at $1?
1 but he had casually heard they only brought ??.
1 Mr. JAMES BANCROFT and SAMUEL C. BLACK, wit
ne ss es for tho deft: ace, testified that they were ole
segar merchants and knew tho value of segars
those from Baracoa were of an inferior quality, one
would not bo worth moro than $25 to $30 por 100C
at tho prosont rates here; they had always sold foi
$10 to $12 per 1000 beforo the war.
Tho Court then adjourned, and the case w&s con?
tinued over until Thursday.
DISTRICT COURT.-The Court met at 10 A. M.
yesterday, in the City Hall. The venire was called,

A PEW WORDS OP COMMON
SENSE.
How few there are who are not subject io some affection
of the lungs or respiratory organs, who, by neglecting
premonitory symptoms, aggravate the complaint, until
djsease Btrikes its shafts, causing inexpressible torture
of the patient, and anxiety and distress to friends. "Only
a cold I " "A slight sore throat I " is the b^dless remarl
of many when so affected. Yes ; "Only c. ?old," waa the
thoughtless expression of thousands whom Death has
marked for his prey.
Forewarned-Forearmed ! should bo the motto forever
in the minds of all subject to Coughs, Colds, Catarrh, or
Influenza. Words of advice should be heeded by all suf?
fering from Asthma, Bronchitis, Consumption. Relief is
within their reach; and, if neglected, fatal consequences
ensue-a lifo of misery-a daily, hoprly struggle for ex?
istence. ? contest in which there can be but one victor
-Death!
Does lt not appal the strongest raind, to thine r the
result caused by neglect? Then whyd?lay? ?vp nt ex?
cuse can.be offered, when timely warning ls nun dad m
pour cora ? When the danger Is pointed J I t, why not
?void lt? MARSDEN'B PECTORAL BALM ns been used
with success In nearly a rnillion of casos, nd is endorsed
by the Medical Faculty as the mose rrompt and effica?
cious remedy that .scientific rosearan has discovered, to
relievo and cure all eases of Co lphs. Colds, Influenza,
ind Consumption, if tho case is not beyond all hope.
Even when tho sufferer ls lu the h?Bt stages, he will.find
relief by using this preptration. Ono bottle will con
rtneo the most incr?dulo us, that thejnerits of this prepa?
ration ore by no means exaggerated; in fact, fall far abort
