PROMENADE ENTERTAINMENT.-The ladies of the sewing society of the Church of the Holy Communion gave a promenade and refresh? ment entertainment last night at the hall over the Adams' Express office. The room had been tastefully decorated with evergreens, and the different booths were ornamented with the same material. Each table was under the con? trol of a presiding divinity, who understood the art of enticing the greenbacks from their hid? ing places. In one corner of the room a par? tition had been erected, behind which a pro? fessor of the black art practiced his sleight of hand. This was confined to the miraculous dancing of a number of pasteboard dolls, who went through all the motions usual in such oases, performing the "-??ble shuffle and cut? ting the pigeon wing. The most wonderful feature in this performance is the facility with which these puppets performed their manou? vres. The entertainment will be continued this evening. IMPROVEMENTS TN THE CHARLESTON HOTEL._ In the past few weeks a number of improve? ments have been made in the Charleston Hotel wbioh have materially added to the comfort of tho guests. A cloak room bas been opened near the office, and the guests need run no risk of losing their outer garments. Tho old wine room bas been transformed into a private office for Major Horbach, and is connected with both the dining room and main office. This small office has been fitted up in an attractive manner, and forms a pleasant retreat, whore the Major can receive bis business friends. Since the new regime has been inaugurated, there has been a marked improvement not only in the cuisine, but in every department of tho hotel. At present the travel is extremely bght, but as business improves the old friends of the Charleston will return, and the house be as crowded ae in the days of its greatest prosperi? ty. The house is comfortable, the fare excel? lent and beyond reproach, and the proprietor and bis assistants courteous, vigilant and at? tentive. What more can be desired by tired and hungry man ? Military Appointments of Civil O ulcers. SHERIFF HASTIE CITED TO APPEAR-HIS TESTI? MONY AND THE ABGUMENT OP OPPOSING COUNSEL-DE0I8I0N OP THE 00DST BESEBVED. An interesting question was argued yester? day in Judge Moses' Court. It will be remem? bered that John Jenkins (colored) had been resentenced to death, and that his counsel, Mr. T. G. Barker, objected to the execution of the sentence upon the ground that W. 3. Hastie was not the legal sheriff, and would be liable to be indicted for manslaughter if lie caused the prisoner to be hung. Mr. Hasiie had been summoned to appear and was present in court. Mr. Barker said that the prisoner Jno. Jen? kins, was now in the custody of W. 8. Hastie, Esq., who was not the lawful Sheriff. The question now was whether Jenkins should be hung by W. S. Hastie or Jno. E. Carew his pre? decessor, and the true and rightful sheriff. As one of the counsel of Jenkins he did not con? sider that he had exchanged his responsibility unless he had brought this matter to the at? tention of the court. It was his business to see the seotonce lawfully executed, but the court had instructed him that no notice would be taken of the case unless brought up in le gal proceedings, and Mr. Hastie was willing to have this issue made. He did not beber? the present incumbent to be legally competent to fill the office; he was bound by his oath as an officer of the court to make and sustain this question. As to Mr. Hastie, justice demanded that he should be relieved from bis present painful embarrassment. For himself, he had no apology to make for sustaining the constitu? tion and laws of the State of South Carolina. Mr. Barker then read the rule on Mr. Hastie. Mr. W. S. Hastie, in reply, said that he had never courted this issue, but waa prepared to meet it. His appointment was by the mili ;ary, and though many may sneer at this au thc ri ty, it wes on that issue that he would either etand or falk Mr. Hastie read his appointment from the military, and his commission signed by Gov? ernor Orr, and sealed with the broad seal cf the State. He said that he did not mean to anter into the defence of the parties who appointed him, but there were one or two points vhich he thought should be refuted. He bad been charged with being an usurper, but ho bad never solicited the appointment, and had had no opportunity to decline. The first intimation he had received was through the newspapers, and he then gave no intimation of his accept? ance. In the meantime, he was called upon by a number of prominent citizens and solicited to accept the office, as otherwise some one might be appointed who would be far less acce ptable to the people. These solicitations dodd ?d his course, and be took the oath and execulod the bond for fifty thousand dollars, which, with ap? proved securities, was flied with the groper officers. Bis commission had been issued by the Governor, under the seal of the State. In this citadel he bad entrenched himself, ind he was willing to let those who could batte - down its walls remove him from it. Mr. Barker, in reply, said: Tour Honor will believe me when I say that it is with no feelings of pride, but with those of humilia? tion, that I sit before a Judge and hear the in? cumbent of the sheriffalty plant himself upon the military as the source of his power. He is right in supposing that the issue is not with him; for it will extend to ages yet to come. It is an issue which arose under the Constitution of the United States, and that boasted Ameri? can liberty which we poor Southerners are charged with violating. Something is due me when I say that I am not one of those who, from motives of expediency, consent to wit? ness tho terrible spectacle of a government de? stroyed by a military power. Your Honor is the exponent of constitutional liberty and the government of the State of Bouth Carolina. Mr. Hastie is the exponent of an antagonistic government-a military despotism. It is im? possible for your Honor to sanction this union, and the court cannot pass judgment under these military laws. As a citizen of the State I am bound to support the laws, and I will never participate m such an unholy uidon as is now attempted to be forced upon us. It is better to have pure military law, administered by pure military appointees, than tho present mixture, which is calculated to teach us to forget all legal obligations, and to yield to tem? porary expediency and military force. No one can entertain a more soveieign con? tempt than myself for any one who 'jndeavors to stir np strife in the community. But if, as officers of the law, we particip?t? in thia civil-military union, and are not merely passive, but become agents inpoieoning the fountains of justice, bow can we measure our responsibilities as citizens of the State and officers of the law? What is the legitimate theory by which Mr. Hastie holds his office? Ia it that your Honor exercises powers not granted by lav, and that the prostitution of the seal, reoorc'ls, law and justice is involved in this commit ision? By what authority does James L. Orr assume to be Governor? Is it not because be claims the office, as having been elected by the people un? der the constitution of 1865? He would other? wise be no Governor, and would hive unlaw? fully used the seal. As the Governor elected by the people, he had a right to affix the seal to the paper in question, but nowhere in law can a governor appoint a sheriff. He can com? mission him when elected by the people, but if the man commissioned is not so elected, he violates the law, and the constitution he has sworn to support. It is some apology that the paper in question has not been signed by tho Governor in his pretended official authority, but by virtue of orders received t..ora General Sickles. These are the orders of his master; but a master whom I am sworn not to regard, and against whom my office requires me to protect this State. The paper commissioning Mr. Hastie is rank treason agaiist the laws and State of South Carolina, and people will un? derstand the motives of temporar} fear and ex? pediency that led to its issue. Tb e people may be degraded, but they cannot be deluded. For a time the current may sweep away all land? marks of liberty, but tho counter current will come and show where liberty has been destroy? ed. I am, said Mr. Barker, opposed to all ms as ur es of exp?die acy, such as taking Mr. Hastie in the place of some more objectionable man. I am ono whom the peoplo will never charge with having soiled his hands with ;v j mockery of justice. Mr. Barker reviewed the Bccon st ruction acts of Congress, and argued that in tho preamble they declared that South Carolina was not a State. He could not, for the stike of expedi? ency, admit either that Jno. Jenlrins had been tried by a rightful authority, or that his Honor had power to pass sentence upon him. If tho authority of the Sheriff is recognized, that of the Judgo must also be considered as coming from an authority invalid in lat?. The Judge reserved bis decision. A BABS CONJUNCTION.-The conjunction of Jupiter and Venus took placo yesterde.y at 3:56 P. M., as stated in the almanacs. Au the sky was clear after sunse t, *,ke two planets could be distinctly seen shining side by side. Tho phenomenon of the two planets having the same right ascension or longitude is one of rare occurrence, and it is hoped that the conven? tion will ordain it shall take plaoe more fre? quently when the constitution is reconstructed. THE STAMP QUESTION_It is with some D rsl pleauure that we publish the following ter from Collector Sawyer, in which he claims all intention to acense our trades: of any want of integrity; assures us of high opinion of the general probity of merchants, awl says that he has gone to i siderable trouble in consulting the convenu of the public. The explanation of Mr. Sa* ia in every way satisfactory, and his let have given our citizens some interesting valuable information. UNITED 8TATES INTERNAL REVENUE, COLLEOTOB'S OFFICE, 2D DISTRICT, S. C. CHARLESTON, January 30,18G8. To the Editors of the Daily News : In your editorial remarks preceding the ter noni myself, in THE NEWS of to-c are one or two pointa, on which I beg add a few words, at the same time avoiding far as possible, any unnecessary intrusion u; your apace. I dei not profess to write the English 1 guage with such absolute clearness as to j vent BM possibility of misconstruction. Bi was not awiire of having in my letter usod i expression which could fairly be called "afl as ill-natured as it is gratuitous." I certai did not say that there is any disposition oe part ot our people generally to evade the 1 nor did I intend to say that from which si an inference could be drawn. On the contra I am happy to bear testimony to the gene desire to comply with all parts of the Inter Revenue la ws, so soon as information is fained thereupon. You remark, "we do not behove that any e of the tradesmen in tRis city has sold, withe a stamp, one single article to which, accord to his information, p. stamp should have be attached; and the accusation of Ur. Sawyer in our opinion, both ungenerous and un served." Now, without subscribing to a belief tbat the dealers in this oity are so thoroughly i maculate as would be implied by the abc statement, I have above said that I e bear cheerful testimony to the gene desire to comply with tho laws. I I wish to call your attention to I fact that I mode no such "accusatio; and that no infeience of such an ". cusation" can, in my opinion, be fairly dra from any part of my letter. The only pnrt which gives colorable excuse for suppoBi that I meant to imply dereliction in the di in question, is where I Bpeak of the "zeal our'dealers thus suddenly aroused to a sei of their duty to tho revenue." In that expn sien I alluded simply to the fact that pubhc tention had boen suddenly and impresjivi called to this subject, and caused doalers to : quire whether they were themselves oomplyi with the law. No "accusation" was made none intended to be made. The demand for proprietary stamos in t las ; two or three weeks hos been four-fold tl for any similar period in the last two years, a when persons have made inquiries for stam whioh could not be supplied, their names hai as a rule, been taken, so that they could, in t event of trouble on tbis account, nave the be e?t of the-testimony of the clerks in this offit and perchance the writer of this article in Ti NEWS may be among those whose names a thus recorded. l have been at considerable personal c pe nee, and by every means in my power, e [ Jeavored to Rive information on this matter stamps, and I trust that I have, in no instanc merited the somewhat opprobrious epithel "ill-natured" and "ungenerous." Respectfully, your obedient servant, FREDERICK A. SAWYER, Collector. WILMINGTON AND MANCHESTER RAILROAD : Tits HANDS OF A RECEIVER.-The W liming tc Star makes the following statement in relatic to a paragraph under the above head whit appeared in THE NEWS of tho 27th inst. W assure our contemporary that our in format ic oame from a source that we believed to be i every way trustworthy, and that we cheerful publish a correction of the errors into whic we appear to have fallen. It may be adde that the remarks of the Star oro so clear an definite that they need no word of comment : In the first place the Wilmington and Mai chester Railroad ls not in the hauds of a "rt oeiver for the benefit of its creditors." Mr. ? ld. Drano was appointod receiver under a dt cree of court giving judgment in favor of onl auf. creditor, whose claim amounted to abor ten thousand dollar.-. Mr. Drane has nothin v ha to ver to do with the operations of th road, and when tho oarnings cancel the deb ?or which ho was appointed receiver, his offic expires. In the second placo we have authority t deny that Mr. Drane, while President of th company, ever procured $COO,ooo upon a cr?ai of two years, the result of his negotiation being principally to obtain $300,000 at an m tero?t of seventeen per cent, per annum, th principal being payable in monthly instalment of $12,600. So tar as the change in the executive office; is concerned, it is presumed that a corporatioi has the right to make any such changes when ever those who hold a majority of the Btocl deem it to their interest to try such "feorfu experiments." While we would not allude i the "well-defined policy of two years* expe rienoe" which was "thus overthrown." we mus denounce the implied attack which is mad upon the ability of tne present management the injustice of which will be evident when w state that under its regime not a Bingle dolla of new debt has been contracted, the road beim operated upon strictly catsh principles. It i only the old debts which are now bearing s heavily upon the oompany, and it i to relieve this pressure that the presen management is now straining every nerve How well their efforts are seconded b; such articles as the one quoted above may be readily conceived. Nothing i better calculated to ruin the creditors am gratify the enemies of the company, for encl statements unless corrected, will cause such Kanio among the former that the company wi 1 e entirely unable to stand np under thei pressure, and the road will pass into the hand of ita bondholders, when both stockholder and creditors will lose everything. It is fo their interest, then, that such statement should lie promptly contradicted, for thei safety depends entirely upon tho success o tho negotiations now pending for the relief o the road. We are sure th it none will moro deeply re gret the unfortunate statements which we havi corrected, than the gentleman whose positioi they misrepresent, and tho editors who Ravi them currency, and we doubt not the latte will hasten to correct the impressions the; have created, by giving publioity to our com menta. ^_ TIED UP BY THE THUMBS.- This is one of thi mediaeval tortures that has come into fashioi with the late war, since which time "cruel ant unusual punishments" have boon abolished If we are not mistaken, it is now in evory-daj use in almost every military prison or jruard house all ovor the United States. But it maj not be generally known that this means of dis cipline has been introduced into tho ranks o: private life. A negro woman in an adjoining district married (since the war) an ox-colored trooper who, for some reason, to us unknown, recently displeased her hege lord, whereupon j he deliberately went to work and tied her up bj I the thumbs. Quite an improvement on the old fashioned "poker" or "hickory." It has an I air of higher civilization-tho punishment be? ing administered coolly and dispassionately. Our informant further stated that in the case just mentioned thu thumb was pulled oil at the second joint, but this last x'act needs confirma? tion._ HOTEL ARRIVALS.-Charleston Hotel-J. H.
