fore the alarm had brought out the engines.
REOPENING JF THE THEATRE.-Our readers
will be pleased to learn that tho Mossra. Tem?
pleton have completed their arrangements and

ning. The managers have engaged a fino com?
pany, and sevoral stars may be expected. It
is rumored that the season will be opened by
Julia Dean Hayne and other actresses of simi?
lar celebrity, but it is certain that no pains will
be spared to please the public and make the
theatre a place of general resort.

Thos. Hayton, both white convicta, escaped
from the State Penitentiary on the 29th ult.

PARU III A BANDBOX.-The burnt district was
enlivened yesterday by the presence of a peri?
patetic exhibitor of curiosities, who had
mounted a large mahogany box on three legs,
and through three peep-holes allowed the
great unwashed a look at La Belle France.
Paris was shown in a nut-shell, and a bird's
eye view of the improvements effected by the
man of destiny was exhibited in exchange for
some of Uncle Sam's pictures. The box soon
attracted tho attention of the curioJH, and the
convention having adjourned at an early hour,
the stand was surrounded by delegates, who
exchanged their quarters and halves for a peep
at the far oountree.

A POPT.-J.AR REMOVAL.-Ihe dilapidated old
wooden building on the south side of Broad
street, near Church, is gradually disappearing
before tho attacks of che workmen. The atten?
tion of the civil authorities has been frequent?
ly called to the condition of this house, but no
action was taken, and the public became grad?
ually reconciled to its dilapidated appeal an?c,
and considered it one of the permanent eye?
sores of the city. Yesterday the visitors to
Broad-street were surprised to see workmen
busily employed in tearing down the old struc?
ture, and on inquiry the information was ob?
tained that it was to be levelled to the ground.
The house is the property of the Wilson estate.
It has long been a mere shell, and was reoently
purchased by Mr. Jas. A. Sanders, principally
for the lumber it contained. The debris is
now being rapidly removed, and in a few days
Broad-street will be relieved of a disgrace, and
pedestrians can pass along the south side with?
out fear of being buried in the ruins.
ESTABLISHMENT OF PROVOST COURTS.-Since
General Orders No. 10 and tho State stay laws
have been enforced, the numerous body of
creditors have been loud in their complaints,
and have appealed to the military to as ?mt them
in recovering their just dues. Petitions have
been received at headquarters, from difierent
sections of the State, asking that Provost
Courts be re-established, in which judgments
can be obtained against the debtor, and where
executions are allowed. Those petitioners wish
to obtain their money by the shortest possible
method. The legal civil procesa, hedged in by
the stay laws, is too lengthy, and these credit?
ors wish to enjoy the benefit of the summary
proceedings of a military tribunal. The dis?
trict commander has, however, stated his de?
termination to support the civil law, and cred?
itors will have to be satisfied for tho present
with the redress given by the State courts.
PROMENADE ENTEETAINMENT.--Notwithstand?
ing the extreme cold weather the promenade
entertainment was well attended last night.
The tables were well supplied with eatables,
and the fair marchande? did not fail to impresa
?upon their customers the necessity of apend
ing their greenbacks liberally. Meyer's band
was in attendance, and the music caused the
hoars to pass by unnoticed. The object of the
entertainment was charity, and we trust the
projectors have been successful in filling their
coffers.
THE STATE TAX FOB 1866.-Sheriff Hastie
yesterday received from General Canby the
following lotter, in reply to mquiries addressed
by him to that officer, in relation to tho
effect of tho military orders, already issued,
on the subject of several descriptions of out?
standing State taxes for the year 1866.
The principal objection urged against these
taxos was that they were retrospective in char?
acter, as they imposed taxation for a period,
eleven-twelfths of which had already expired.
There have been several military orders
issued already bearing upon this question; and
the principal points remaining in doubt were 1.
Whether merchants doing business continu?
ously on their own account, and having parted
with their goods at the time tho tax of Decem?
ber, 1866, was enacted, should be entitled to
the relief accorded by General Canby to com?
mission merchants, doing business on account
of others.
2. Ll they are not liable to the tax of Decem?
ber, 1866, what rate of taxation shall they be
required to pay ?
3. Whether the business of publishing and
vending newspapers shall be regarded as an
ordinary mercantile transaction and taxed as
such ; newspapers prior to December, 1866,
never having boen taxed in this State.
Headquarters Second JU il i ta ry District,)
CHARLESTON, S. C., January 28, 1868. J
William S. Hastie, Esq., Sheriff Charleston
District, Charleston, S. C.:
Sra-Referring to your communication of
December 20th, 1S67,1 am instructed by thr
Commanding General to reply to yourinquirie>
as follows :
You inquire "where goods were sold on com ?
mission in 1866, and settled for, previous to ibo
passage of the act of 1866, is twenty cents or.
the hundred dollars to be collected, or not?"
Although your inquiry is confined to cases o:f
sales on commission, where the proceeds wem
accounted for before the passage of the act,
the reply is applicable to all otber cases em?
braced under the clause in question. *
Assuming the facts, out of -.. hich your in?
quiry grows, to be as stated by you, and it ap?
pears that, during the year 1866, prior to the
passage of the act raising revenue for the year
1867, there was no law in operation subjecting
to taxation transactions of the class referred
to by yon, but that by the last preceding act
on tho subject, tho rate of taxation was fixe i
at twenty cents on the ono hundred dol?an..
In this case the proper amount to collect is
twenty cents on the one hundred dollars, that
being the amount fixed by the last law preced?
ing that of December, 1866.
Your second inquiry is as follows : "Me.7
chants having done business continuously cn
their own account, or for account of other 3,
during 1866, delivering their goods as they
sold them, are they to pay the tax of Decem?
ber. 1866, as passed by the legislature, or is
their tax to be scaled down to twenty cents cn
the hundred dollars, or is no tax to be col?
lected?"
Merchants doing business on their own ac?
count, stand on the same footing with com?
mission merchants. Sales, accompanied by the
transfer of property effected by them, prior to
the passage of the act of December, 1866, are
not liable to taxation, under the provisions of
that act. As to the liability ot such transac?
tion to the tax of twenty cents, an answer bas
already been given, under your first inquiry.
Your third inquiry relates to the proper rate
of chargeable taxation, in the case of news?
paper publishing.
The busiueBB of publishing, and vending
newspapers, including the sale of advertising
space, is regarded as mercantile in its chara c?
ter, and aocoordingly the provisions of the
first clause of General Orders No. 92, are re?
plicable to taxes, laid upon transactions m
the course of such business. The rates charge?
able upon the gross earnings of such establinh
lishments, are to be fixed with reference to the
principles hereinbefore laid down, in regard to
the general mercantile business.
Very respectfully.
Your obed't sorv't,
LOUIS V. CAZIARC,
A. D. C. and A. A. A. G .
The practical effect of this order will Le a
large saving to our merchants and publishers
of newspapers. The act of December, 1066,
imposes a tax of sixty cents on every one hun?
dred dollars "on the amount of sales of gocds,
wares, merchandise, embracing all the articles
of trade for sale, barter, or exchange (spiritu?
ous liquors and the products of this State, und
the unmanufactured products of any of tho
United States or territories thereof exceptod),
which any person shall have made," from Jan?
uary 1,1866, to January 1,1867.
Thus if a firm sold goods in 1866, to the
amount or $100,000, their tax, instead of (600
(as per act of Legislature), will, by General
Canby's order, be only $200.
Tho act of December, 1866, imposes a tu of
two dollars on every one hundred dollars "on
the gross receipts of newspapers, published in
this State."
If the gross receipts of a newspaper, there?
fore, in 1866, were $100,000, the tax on this
amount, instead of $2000 (as per act of Legis?
lature), will, by General Canby'a order, be only
$200.
TEE RELIEF FOB THE DESTITUTE.-The fol?
lowing letter bas been received by General
Scott from General Howard, Commissioner of
the Freedmen's Bureau :
WAB DEPARTMENT, 1
BUBEAU lt., F. AND A. LANDS, >?
WASHINGTON, D. C.. January 27, 1863. )
Brevet Major-General B, K. Scott, Astuianl
Commissioner of South Carolina:
GBNKIUL-Youl" Circular of January 16,1868,
is roceh ed. Tho only thing I fear is f iat an
impression may get abroad that a greater
amount of supplies are to be furnished than
the funds I am able to devote to the relief of
destitution will warrant.
With the understanding that there are but
two States where there is a likelihood of ?amino
without assistance from eomo quarter, and that
South Carolina, owing to providential causes,
has a larger number of destitute than any other
Sta to, I havo allotted a larger proportion of
funds to ?south Carolina than to any other, yet
the amount eveu for South Carolina is small.
Lu addition, we have dessicated veg ?tables
and dessicated potatoes, which may bo vised so
as to remove tho possibility of starvation.
These supplies must be used in such a w*y
that the sums expended will be secure ind be
returned to the fund from which they came.
To this cud take hens upon really aid the
growing crops, where it is practicable, and
whore not, upon tho growing crops a id per?
sonal property of the recipient.
You will find it necessary to be exceedingly
careful that men who have or can get means
do not step in before those who are really in
need. The whole subject >? stated in your
last clause, ''these supplies are only intended
by the government to relieve extreme ( ases of
destitution."
Supplies mutt not, however, be furnished In
a way to promote idleness. I fear th ? chari?
ties ot' last yeav from benevolent associations,
and to Borne oi tent from the Bureau, in some
localities, have had this tendency. Your expe?
rience in tho past will enable you to take
methods to as cid this difficulty the coming
year, so that yon may never aid poe pie who
are not honestly and industriouily engaged ir?
securing for themselves a competency.
Very respectfully,
Youi- obedient servant,

THE CONDITION OF AFFALBS IN SOUTH CARO?
LINA-RELATIONS BETWEEN PLANTRBS AND
FBEEDMEN.-General Howard, Commissioner
of tho Freedmen's Bureau, has received a re?
port from Brevet Major-General R. K. Scott,
Assistant Commissioner for the State of South
Carolina. In tho Charleston District much
complaint has been mado against tho negli?
gence of the freedpeople as laborers; that thoy
would not do the amount of work they should;
that they absent themselves to attend re?
ligious and political meetings, thus losing
themselves, and causing thc planters to lose
also. In many sections they have worked well
and given general satisfaction, but the opera?
tions of the Union League have been
detrimental to them, as it takes them from
their work, which is moro importait to them
than politics, and they often receive bad ad?
vice through the league by designing men. Lu
the Darlington District many piar.ters com?
menced with nothing, and their credit had been
pushed to the utmost, The labor vas terribly
unreliable. Men who wera capable of picking
one hun il red p JUUII? of ootton between wrtnriso
and noon would como from tho field at night
with from thirty to sixty pounds as the rosult
of a whole day's labor, and frequently they
had as much more hidden in the field, which
they would carry off at night and sell for
their own benefit, finding plenty of purchasers
for the same, and selfing at a price little
better than nothing. The freedmen also
have frequently walked many miles to attend
religious and political meotings, sometimes
loaving without any reason or right, tpeoding
two or three days each time, causing planters
much inconvenience and loss, and not improv?
ing their own chances foi a respectable crop.
Not moro than five freedmen in a hundred
have mado more than their provisions this
year, and many aro much in debt to the
planters, and therefore will be unable to sup?
port themselves next year. They invariably
believe that the planters owe them, no matter
how much they have drawn during the year ;
and therefore when they find they have been
overpaid they are very much chagrined, and
declare they have been swindled. The blacks
aro improvident, and will flood a planter with
applications for orders on stores, never stop?
ping: to consider how deeply they are run?
ning in debt, and not until the hour of |
settlement do they desiro to know how
much ?hey owe. Many seem to be ap?
prehensive of bread riots, and of seri?
ous trouble between the races, and such
fears are not groundless, os laborors defiantly
declare that if they get nothing, the planter
shall lone all. This it is that makes the crime
of arson of such frequent occurrence. Thiev?
ing seems to be the rule rather than the excep?
tion; cattle, hogs, corn, and cotton, anything
that will satisfy the pangs of hunger or bring
money is sure to disappear, so suddenly and
secretly that no tangible traco of the criminal
con be found. In the Sumter District, seven
eights of the freedpeople are in debt to their
employers for the necessary advances while
making the crop. A class of white men go
about tho country for tho purposo of robbing
the people, they get corn and cotton from the
freedpeople, giving in exchange thorfor whis?
key, and other unnecessary articles. It is
earnestly recommended that some steps be
taken to prevent this illicit, traffic.
FIFT?-SEVEJTTH REPOBT OF THE BIBLE SO
CTETT OF OHABLESTON.-The Board of Mana?
gers of th.' Charleston Bible Society give, in
their report for the year 1868, an interesting
account of the progress of the great work in
which they are engaged. During tho year a
temporary depository was established at
Holmes* Book House, and the remnants of the
old stock of Bibles were collected together,
amounting to about six hundred and fifty
eight copies of assorted sizes, of which two
hundred and seventy were distributed gratu?
itously, leaving a balance on band of three
hundred and eighty- Jight volumes. The Board
adopted measures to supply tho publio institu?
tions of the city with the Scriptures, and to
meet private demands, chiefly through volun?
tary agents, especially the clergy and ladies
interested in the work.
In 1862, the resolutions and acts making tho
Bible Society of Charleston auxiliary to the
American Bible Socie ty were annulled, but tho
Boord never regarded that Society as sectional
or political in its character, and in November,
1867, :he old relations of the two Societies were
resumed.
The report concludes in the following words :
Let us not fear; the Bible is not a failure In
society, it can never again become a silent fac?
tor ; it has dropped m to life, into literature,
mto law, to create new centres of power, and
to project new fines of thought, activity, civili?
zation, and religion. The Bible Society has be?
come part of the kingdom of christ. Only give
tho lively Oracles to our people, only "tench
them diligently to thy children, and talk of
them when thou Bittest in tuiuo house, and
when thou walkest by the way, and when thou
liest down, and when thou risest up," then
shall our nation " ariso and shine, for her Ught
is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon
her." '
Thoso considerations prompt the Board to
make an urgent appeal to the liberality of the
Community. Our books are few. our treasury
depicted, our membership small. The Board
of tanagers propose to push forward with
new eneigv, to take possession of the opening
field, and they will put new plans in motion as
soon as possible. They throw the causo with
confidence on the liberality, on the holy
prayers, on the Christian activity of the com?
munity. True, our city is depressed; true,
our fortunes are low; true, tho future forbodes
evil; yet it is equally true that the Ark of tho
Lord remains with us, and that we have faith
in tie h vin g Gol; and if sorrows or captivity,
or martyrdom will best spread the truth, let
us rejoice and remember that when the
ancient people of God were under the captivity
of Babylon the era was more luminous than
the reign of Solomon; for amid its darkness all
those splendid prophecies of Messiah's king?
dom flash in Unos of glory over the face of au
afflicted church. Will it cost us a sacrifico to
contribute somothing to spread the Bible'/ Bu
it so. Publishing tho Bible is preaching tho
gospel. Let us not forget that He whoso cross
ore upon its front that significant polyglot
"in Hebrew, Greek and La'in," hos but given
to us an example that, if need be, wc too must
lift up our Bible on our cross, ?ven amid Gol?
gotha, and glory "that in a great trial of afflic?
tion, tho abundance of our joy and oui' deop
poverty abounded unto the richea of our libe?
rality" in publishing the .glad Li dings that tho
Crucified King ofZiou reigns over our lund to
the glory of God the Father.
ABJECT POVEBTY.-Tho Baltimore Sun pub?
lishes this curious paragraph :
"Ex-Governor Aiken, of South Carolina,
once tho wealthiest mau in the l?pimotto State,
it i? said, is now in abject poVcrty."
Mr. Aiken, bofore tho war, was worth about
a million and a half of dollars. Hu owned
about one*thousand slaves, and his rice crop
was sold for from $100,000 to $120,00?. Last
year Mr. Aiken planted but a small portion of
his tract, but ho has lost none of his landed
property, and his real estate in this city alone
would realize a fortune. If Mr. Aiken is poor,
A. T. Stewart is not rich.
DIE CHABLESTONEB ZEITUNO.-We cali atten?
tion to tho advertisement of Messrs. CG.
Erckmann & Co., the publishers of this excel?
lent German weekly. We are not ourselves mas?
ter of high Dutch, but wo havo a friend who
professes that accomplishment, and he assures
us that tho Zoi'.ung is a very readable sheet.
General John A. Wageuer, tho editor, is too
weil known in our community to need our en?
dorsement or commendation. Ho is au old
hand at the bellows, and knows how to make
up a good newspaper. Our nadara will bear
witness that we have again and again shown
our faith by our works, transferring nearly oyory
week some interesting items from the Zeitung
to our columns.

Wm. T. Pearce vs. W. L. Venning. Whaley,
Mitchell & Clancy for appellant and Simons &
Simons for appellee. Appeal dismissed.
Testatrix bari devised and bequeathed to the
appellee real and personal estate and a pecu?
niary legacy, upon trust for the appellant and
his family, with power to dispose of the prop?
erty, real or personal, upon the request, in
writing, of the appellant, and to reinvest in
other proporty, real and personal, and the same
to make sale of again in like manner. The pe?
cuniary legacy was received in bonds, which
were paid and reinvested in other bonds, which
wore ultimately paid in Confederate securities.
Held that the power ot sale upon written re?
quest applied to the real and personal property
devised and bequeathed, and did not apply to
the disposition of the pecuniary legacies.
J. J. Pope vs. W. H. Cholee. Simons & Si?
mons and Mr. A. G. Magrath for appellant,
Mr. Jno. Phillips and Mr. C. G. Memminger for
appellee. Appeal dismissed.
Plain tiffsold his house at auction 0th Novem?
ber, 1864, for cash; defendant did not settle un?
til 27th December, 1864. The plaintiff was cap?
tured and hold as prisoner of war in the fall of
Savannah, on tho 20th December, 1864. He
uover received any portion of purchase money,

than one-third of the purchase money as an in?
demnity against the possibility of the wife's
dower. Held upon tho evidence that the con?
tract was executed, and not executory; that
the plaintiff had constituted the broker bis
agent to receive tho purchase money and for
thc terms of settlement. That an outstanding
possibility of dowor was au inoumbranee on
tho title which the seller must remove, upon a
contraot for tho sale of real estate; that the
ordinance of the convention of 1866 in relation
to ascertaining - tho real value of a consideration
of which Confederate money was the represen?
tative did not apply to cxeeutcd contracts, and
that tho captivity of the plaintiff did not revoke
or suspend the authority of his agent.
E. A. Roye os. the Charleston Savings Insti?
tution. Mr. McCready and Mr. Prossley for
appellant, Mr. Henry Buist and Mr. Thoe. Y.
Simons for appellees. Appeal sustained.

Hon. I. W. Hayne, Atlornex-General, Clwr
leston, 8. C.
Sra-Will you please inform thia office at
the earliest convenience, whether any action
has been taken hy the civil authorities in rela?
tion to an assault committed by ono Mackey,
a delegate to the convention, now sitting in
this city, on Mr. Logan, the reporter of the
Mercury newspaper, and it no action bas been
taken to bring the matter before the proper
authorities, will you explain the reason thereof.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
GEO. A. W1LLLAYJS,
Bvt. Lt. Col. and Major 6th, U. S. Infautry.
Pro. Mar. Gen. 2d Military District.
Colonel Hoyne, on the receipt of the above,
promptly communicated with C. E. Kanapaux,
Esq., magistrate, and instructed him to com?
mence proceedings at once. With equal prompt?
ness, tho magistrate dispatched a messenger to
R. T. Logan, Esq., the party assaulted, with the
request that he would furnish the necessary
affidavit on which to base a complaint. This
was the first intimation, as we aro informed,
that Mr. Logan received of any proposed action
in the matter, and having no desire to prose?
cute Maokey for the assault and battery, he de?
clined to accede to the request. Thereupon
the magistrate sent for Mr. J. H. Simmons, a
reporter of THE NEWS, explained that the mill
tary authorities had pressed the matter, and
insisted that ho make his affidavit as a witness
of the affair. The affidavit is as follows :
Personally appeared before Charles E. Kana
Saux, a magistrate of the city of Charleston,
ames H. Simmons, who being duly sworn,
says : That he was, as Reporter of THE DAILY
NEWS (a paper published in the City of Charles?
ton), on tho floor of the hall of the convention
assembled at the Club House in Meeting
street, on the 27th day of January instant, and
was at the table assigned to tho reportera of
the press, in company with Roswell T. Logan,
Reporter of the Charleston Mercury. When
the convention adjourned E. W. M. Mackey, a
delegate from Orangeburg District, approach?
ed the said Logan and asked him whether
he (Lugan) was the author of a certain article
iiubli8bed in the Mercury of that morning
relative to his father (Albert G. Mackey). Lo?
gan replied "I am," whereupon the said
Mackey cursed Logan, and struck him a blow
on the side of his face. A tussle ensued, and
one or two blows were passed before the par?
ties were separated. Deponent assisted in
quelling the disturbance and separating the
parties.
Deponent makes the above affidavit, inas?
much as he waa present, and haa been called
upon by the civil authorities to et ate what has
occurred in his presence, under a letter ad?
dressed by tho military to I. W. Heyne, Esq.,
Attorney-General. I. H. SIMMONS.
Before tho arrest was made Dr. Mackoy, the
father of E. W. M. Mackey, called at the office
of Captain Kanapaux and gave bonds for the
appearance of his son this morning, at ten
o'clock.

used CEO ABD ALE'S PHOSPHATES, and although
the season waa most unfavorable to a fair experiment
of this Fertiliser, I can with safety say that the bene?
ficial effec a on the crops in the progress of its growth
was most manifest. My faith in its utility ls so
strong t ht 11 will recommend its use for the tasntusj
season. Very respectfully,

DBAS E ra : I experimented with five different
kinds of Phosphates and Manures the past season on
cotton buds, and am fordbly convinced that
"CHOASDALE'b SUPER-PHOSPHATE" is far su?
perior to any other of the fertilizers I have tried, and
think so favorably of it that I intend giving it the
preference the coming season.
