Ibo corrected return of registered voters is, whites 3638, and blacks 5192; total 8830. It was necessary that 4416 votes, a majority of the registered votes, should be castro carry the question of Convention, and the Convention is, therefore, defeated by 76 votes. CHURCH ELECTION.-At the Fourth Quarterly Conference of tho St. Bartholomew's Circuit Methodist Episcopal, Church, South held Novem? ber 16, 1867, Rev. F. A. Mood presiding, tho fol? lowing gentlemen were elected Stewards for the ensuing year: H. CROSBY, G. VARN. E. BBYAN, Dr. \V. \V. FOLK, A. HUDSON, J. CROSBY, J. G. VABN, J. K. RISHEB, sr., J. W. STEVENS, J. KINSEY, J. G. PBICH^R, T. R. WILLIAMS, J. DCBOISE, J. GoODWiX, J. W. MEARES. THE WADMAHW ISI?ND DI?-?ICULTY.-We learn from a friend, who left Edisto yesterday, that the freedmen on John's, Wadmalaw and Edisto Islands aro extremely demoralized, and aro a'mout v useless as working han ls. Promises were made by Chamberlain and others of foi.y acres of land anda mule if they voted tho red ticket, and threat? ening them with a retu'ti to slivery in case they disobeyed. The passions of tho deluded negroes were at once aroused, and but for the prompt ac? tion of the authorities, some d'flicii'ty might have occurred. At present tho Island? aro perfectly quiet, but tho negroes aro very unsettled and UBI - less, though no foars arc entertained of another ?outbreak. ARRIVALS FROM THE CELESTIAL LAND.-The books of the Charleston Hotel show, for tho past two days, two arrivals from Chiua and one from Japan. Messrs. V. Espantoso and W. C. Forester are from the flowery land; while Kr. A. A.D. Goner is from Japan. Tho two last-named gentle? men are tourists who, having been long residents ii Asia, are now visiting tho dilferent points of in? terest iu this country, Tho heroic part that Charleston bore in tho late conflict has rendered her name historical, and thc Latter J walls of Fort Sumter have proved sufficiently attractive for ?visitors from foreign countries. Tho tourists will to-day take a sail around the harbor and "ispect the differeut fortifications. It is seldom that Charleston is fc.ured with visitors from such a distance, and .: is a pleasure to know that our city has attractions sufficient to detain them, and a feote) where they can bo made to feel thoroughly at home. _ THE WEATBTB.-The preoent state of thc weath? er .'8 a general topic of conversation, aud doubts are expressed as to the sanity of tho clerk, somo thinkiiig that ho was stuck by a meteor and de? molished, whilo others are of fie op:";on that as Winter has often lingered ;n tho lap of Epilog she has at last resented tho insult, and is now repay? ing old Winter for his familiarity. Worro nota meteorologist, nor aro we addicted to beiu" at all weather-wise. We ha>o never kept a thermometer, as they are designed solely to annoy suffering ^ humanity, and wo aro not disposed t > bo forev. r reminded of our troublos, bat we hare viewed the subject with a critic's eye, and .TO convinced that something is radica"y wrong. 'I had. Stevens and bis coter ie ot choice spit its have prepared so many bills for the ?peedy reconstuictiou of thc South that the change -n the weather can be attributed to no other causo than a design on h?a part t. re? model not ouly the State Constitution I ut her c?? mate. This is merely a supposition, as it is com m?only believed that In ad. has doa':nys st ?th un? canny things, and the chan~e m:3ht be effected through his ngoncy. THE QUICKEST WAT TO MAKE MONEY.-There is an abundance of land in the South, but that land requires careiV cultivation. Increased care must make up for decreased manual force, and one acre must be made to do what ten acres have been m tho habit of doing. Manures and fcrtil-vrs must bo used without stint, and it way be taken as certain that ono hundred dollars Kid out in manure will produce three or four hun? dred dollars pro?t. ir thia is the ease with the high-priced guanos and the costly mann facture d 8upor-phosphates, how ?reat mus* be tho profit wheu the fertilizer can bo bought at five dollars per ton. No material is richer ;'n the clements of fertilization than that which composes the old Confederate nitre-beds. Thoso ara cqujl to any manufactured fertilizer, and they have the great ,sd vantageof being offered for sale at the rate of five .dollars per ton, in quantities to suit tho purchaser. An advertisement ni another column gives a'l necessary particulars; and, judging by thc gigan? tic 'niits a?d vegetables that were raked by thc use or this fertilizer last year, an iuvesnio.it in t> the nitre-bed matorial, at the Potter's ".''ield, is the quickest way to raako money. INFLUX OF STRA>GKK??.- Th?, li?t ot hotel arrivals published iu the NEWS shows that the Palmetto City is not ignored by the traveling public, but that the advantages now offered both for business and pleasure are duly appreciated. Many of thtse arrivals are merchants from thc interior who aro here for the purpose of making theil W*nter pur? chases; but theto it also a good'y sprinkling of pleasure visitors, arnon" whom are several of the Corps Editorial, who are taking notes for their journals. This rush of travel has boen caused principally by tho announcement that tho far famed Black Crook WOP'd be exhibited this week. From the mountaiu to the seaboard tho news spread like wildfire that Charleston bad arisen from hir slumbers, that her lethargy was over, and she had again a theatre-. This wns enough to in? terest a people who have never lost their affection lor their half-burnt metropolis; bnl when it was announced that the Dlack Crook would appear, their desire to seo this world-renowned drama could not bc couti oiled. They shook the dust off their feet and hurried to Charleston, eager to re? new their acquaintance with the footlights and -whate'er was behind them. The audience nt the theatre for tho past few nights ia a proof t;>at Charleston has HOW supplied a d?ficience that ha? iling been needed. The want of somo fascinating amusement like a theatrical exhibition has de? terred many from visiting the city, and trad, has ?ought other channels. This is now rectified, and if the Knights of the Quill, who are now in the city, will but givo a faithfid report of what they aee.'the list of hotel arrivals will be larger and tho theatre bo nightly crowded with edmiriug au R?TBEKCioiEyT.-MBETINO or Corscix.-'An " tia meeting of Council was held last ovcu Present Thc Mayor, and Aldermen Wragg, Ger s Small, O'Neill, Steinmeyer, Olney. OakcB, M ;- shall, Ruston, Whilden, Coagrove, Hutler, Prin; >" Courtenay, Willis and Kavenel. E \\ lu ii thc minutes of tho previous meeting 1 . becu n atl and confirmed, tho Mayor in torn L' mildil of tho purpose for whieh tho extra mc iii? was called; and the Hill proposed by tho Cc '' milloo on Retrenchment carno up on its ecce reading. The following amendment to Section 1, propoi by Alderman Willis, at the previous meeting, v Prat in order: Resolved, That from and aiier November 21 tin salaries of all city officers and employees reduced twenty-five per cent., as well as tho < penses J! the City Government, ?fil'pjn a vote being taken, the amendiuont was lo Alderman Marshall thon urged that the Bill considered section by section, and lino by line. Aldeiman Courtenay baid that now that t Council was apon* retrenchment it should bo do properly. The bill proposed did not cover all t city officers, and bo wished to seo every offit placed on the same footing. He was sure that t Retrenchment Committee did not wish todisciin nate, and be wished the work to bc so complete dono that there might be no after claps. Upon motion of Alderman Marshall the Bill w ordered to take effect from and after Novemb 19, 1867. The salaries of tho difforent officers were th roted on separately. Mayor. Alderman Marshall proposed $3000, ai Alderman Courtenay $1000 per annum. Alderm; Gerdts offered the following : Resolved, That the pay of all officers and en ployoea of the city, who th aw a pay over ?300 pi annnm, l>c reduced twenty per cent., and tin they be paid in United States currency, or i equivalent. Th's was opposed by Aldermen Marshall an Huston, .ma supported by Aldermen Courtenn and Steinmeyer. After some further discussion, in which A'.dei men Gluey and Euston and tho Mayor took pan tt was moved to strike out the last clause of tb M SC'lut inn offered by Alderman Gerdts. Alderman Wragg said thore seemed to be n uniformity of opinion as to the best course to b adopted, and the work was so important that i should not bo doue hastily or without dolibera tiou. The items should be taken as they came up This might tako along time, but at a dash no goo cor i to done. Ibo Committeo have carefu'l considered this Bill, and tho Bill should bo takei as a nucleus for tho action of Council. It migb bo necessary to sit night alter night, but thii might bo borne The community had called fo retrenchment, and the Council should not under take to settle hastily a question of so much gravity and interest. There were two cardinal points thai must not be lost sight of; first, the limited incomi of the city, and, second, that the Council cannoi go beyond that income. It should bo decidoc what amount cf income could bo robed on, anc what could be spent, and in what manner it sboulc be appropriated. Until that was done, nothing was done; and premature action would expose thc Council to the reproach of being men who actoc upon what they did not understand. Aldermau Courtenay said that his opposition had only been awakened by tho feet that the bill did not include any of the city officers, and outsidore would say why were not a" served alike? Alderman Euston, in reply to a provious re? mark, said that no roduction could bo made in tho Fire Department. That valuable public institu? tion would bc broken up by retrenchment. Alderman Courtenay said that ho did not oppose thc Fire Department, but be was sm o that thu high-spirited meu of which the Department waa composed would wish to be served as others were. This talk of breaking up the Department was all moonshine; but if tho salary of his Honor the Mayor was cut down, why not cut down also the expenses of thc Fire Department ? Alderman Willis then moved that tue consiuera tion of the Bill bo postponed until Council can bo furnished a printed 'ist of the city officers, their names, tho amount of pay they receive, and the duties they porform. This resolution was lost. Veas and naya wcro then called; and tho resolution was defeated by twelve to four, viz: Aldermen Willis, Steinmeyer, Cosgrove and Courtenay.

Section ti "d, which treated of thc reduction of tho police force, was called. Alderman Cosgrove moved that 1C3 policemen lt? changed to 150. Alderman Marshall stated that this section was .,ne ol the nW. imi.jrtant in Ibe whole bill, and ono on which thc, committee had expended both Lime and labor. It was certain that the city h*d no mont y to pay these policouicn, and why should they cout'nuo to retain them, and thus increase Usc dont? K it were possible he knew that the commitUe would have preferred to lot the number remain thc saints ot oven iucieused it to two hun? dred, but tb'.s was impossible, ffco police should be paid before any city employees, and tho QCly method to o fleet this was to make a reduction ol th . expouso? by reducing the sizo of the force. Alderman Gerdt i proposed scaling down the pay and ostibliab'ng a Dight guard. A Idol man Kavouol ?aid that it was an important subject, and ono that roquircd grave deliberation.

Alderman Cosgrove asked what progress had bo n made by the City Sheriff in tho issuing ofox ocuttous aud collection of taxes, as ordered I the last meeting ol Council. Tho Mayor stated in reply that the law requii that twenty days' notice should bo given, and t Sheriff was now ut work preparing his papers. The quarterly report of tho Hoper Hospital vi received as information. On motion, Council adjourned. LlIPHOVESIENTS ON THE CITADEL G BEEN.-Tho 1 construction acts of tho military authorities ho considerably altered the appearance of the Citat and grounds. Tho former has now quito an i tractive appearance, and has been repaired a refitted in a manner that reflects credit upon Uni Sam. The Barrett house at the rorner of Ki and Calhoun streets has for a lon? time beet mere wreck, but is now hoing made available f military purposes.

THE BLACK CROOK FOREVER.-In tho first notico if thu performance of this groat Spectacular Irania, our overwhelmingly astonished suscopti >il'tieH found but brief expression. From tho ri ,mg of tho ctn tain to the going down of tho samo, nilitary order waa never moro persistently obeyud -"eyes to tho i'ront." On tho other hand, tho iretly porformors, with equt>! persistency, reracm lered the time-honored injunction, "closo up." Novelty of scone, a bountiful display of agility, veil sustained dialogue, spiced with tho best sheet ron thunder, sword combats, lire-works, showers if gold, aliom'nablo looking devils sandwiched bo wcen lovely angels in tlosh-colored tights, aniuch 10SB of music, and festivo exhibition of the samo -thoso aro some of the clements ol Black Crook, nrhicb forbid a ''provincial" local from scrutinizing ivitb a critic's eye the performances of that first aight. Last evening, however, wo had a moro level :iead, and dispasBionatoly weean say something ibout the play. In the plot itself thoro is not much to intensify -just sufficient indued lo keep ?xpectancy alive for tho grand denouement. Tho Black Crook (O. B. Collins) is a sorcerer who uakes a compact with tho devil, by which ho igrees to supply his Satanic Majesty v?itb at loast mo soul every year, tho consideration hoing a cor esponding prolongation of his own lifo. To urther his onds the subordinate demons aro to lclpbimout. Rudolphe is a poor Artist (Colin stuart), loves Amina (Isabel Vane), and lias a ri? rai in thc person of Count Wolfenstein. Rudolphe, jowever. "cuts him out," and then, ai rested by ho Count's rnflian8, is imprisoned in a horrible lungeon. Here tho Black Crook linds him, ind makes a little trado, whoroby in ex? change for tho soul of the '..antic young over, the latter is to receive untold wealth md bo relumed to his betrothed. Supplied vith >* charm, Rudolph is sent on a wild gooso ?liase to a cave of demons, somewhere in tho fartz mountains, to obtain first his treasure. Ho s attended ly his funny servant, Groppo (Harry gifford), and encounters a aeries of adventures, in he courso of which ho saves tho life of tho Hoad Centre among the Fairies-who looks like Hiram ?owors' Greek Slave, (dus eighteen inches of mus iu sld't. Stalacta-that is her name- takes tho ;wo ?U out ot thc wot, and tho v. hole company lave a jolly good lime. They sing and dance in til sorts of undress uniform; Groppo goos aflsh .ig lind catches a monster frog; tho twain aro pre icnted with an abundance of jewels, and when ?hey separate Rudolphe receives a charm in thc ihape of a ring, which, whenever hu is iu trouble, io is lo kiss, which delectable operation BUbsc piently brines whole acres of desperate Naiads, Dryads, Amphibia, and otlu-r pretty immortals to the rescue. Finally, Rudolphe regains his svoetheart. Tho [Hack Crook is thereupon thunderstruck, and gels nad because Satan has not "luted fair. The fairy's ring has proved stronger than his own charm. Ibo cud nt tho year of compact has arrived, the liabolic bell binutc LwoJye, and Satan comes to ".laitn the promised soul. Tho Black crook aud lonly discovers that he can't honor his paper, and must be forced into involuntary bankruptcy. He takes on terribly at the circumstances, and in a foyy imj-oMight m intier several of tho Devil's lailiffs matti their appearance in n shower of brim? stone and take him oft Then the ? ouut reappears. ,'ets after his rival with his sword, and {reta whip? ped, the result of all winch is that the two lovers, lurroundod by the blissful looking tribe in attenu? ated garments, bocomo exceedingly happy, and the alYa:>* termiua'.os in a blaze of glory. Interwoven with tho plot are hallets, scarf latices, illuminations, beautiful groupings, good ringing, and well rendered music. Mr. Clifford, as Groppo, keeps tbe andient o in*a perpetual roar ,f laughter whenever be appears, and the reputa? tion <>f this excellent stock company Vs fully sus? tained by tho well rendered dialogue Tho dancing hy Rosetta (Lizzie clinton), Stalacta, Amina anti L'arline (Kate Raymond) is also unusually good. The audiences have been largo and appreciative, rujv many of our best families being present, and the'demonstrations Unequivocally in approval of the handsome effort made by the management and (he company to please the public.

Tho . pload-ngs were read, and Mr. Wiliion explained tho * ease as being under the late Bankiupt Act, which makes all bankrupts who execute an assignment of a)1 their edee's, making preferences to exclude, defeat and defraud creditors; and he contended that the defendant had violated the Act by mak? ing such assignment. It was argued, in reply, by G. W. Wilhams, that the assignment being exe cutod on thc day tho Act was passed (2d March) the Act did not apply. Mr. Wilson contended cou tra, that thc doed was not delivered till some day after, and waa not, therefore, a deed till delivery, and this made the case lall under the Act. Other grounds were token, and boforo the caae was con eluded, thc Court adjourned. BUSINESS NO 1 ICES. II.
