PERSONAL.-His Excellency Governor James L. OIT arrived in the city yesterday, and has taken rooms at tho Mills House. Mrs. Mary Gladstane, the new Star of the Templeton Troupe, is staying at the Charleston Hotel. THE UNIVERSITY, OF THE SOUTH.-A call will be found in another column for a meeting of the trustees of this institution, to be held in Savannah on the 1st of April. Bishop Green, the Chancellor, is endeavoring to push forward his arrangements with a view to an early opening. CORONER'S INQUEST.-An inquest was held yesterday on the body of Toney Brooks, a col? ored prisoner in the jail. Toney had been ar? rested August 1st, 1867, for larceny, and sen? tenced November 8th, 18C7, to one year's im? prisonment in tho penitentiary. He was found dead in his cell yesterday morning, and the jury rendered a verdict of death from pneu? monia. WE HAVE BEEN REQUESTED by Mr. J. N. Rob? son, to state that he has just received instruc? tions to reduce the price of the Soluble Pacific Guano ten dollars per ton, on either cash or time eales in future-thus bringing it within the reach of all, and making it one of the cheapest manures offered on the market. Papers which have inserted Mr. Robson's guano advertisement, will please copy thia notice. THE STOCK AND MONET MARKET.-Money is still free, and the Bank rate has been reduced to one per cent, per month. In the stock and share market there is con? siderable activity, principally in railroad and city securities. South Carolina Railroad and Bank shares sold yesterday freely at forty, being a rise of fifteen dollars since the annual meet? ing held last month. Charleston City stock sold at forty, an advance of twelve dollars, and State Bills were bought by brokers at eighty six. Late in the day there were sales of city stock at even higher rates. The tendency of the railroad market is still upward. In bank shares there has been no large amount of business. OUR COTTON MARKET.-Cotton yesterday was quiet and prices somewhat lower. It must not be forgotten that Charleston is in advance of the Liverpool prices. Cotton bought at 25 cents here must bring 10jd* in Liv? erpool to clear waste, commissions on the other side, freight and general expenses. Cotton bought at 26 cents moat realize about lld. to bri! kg the purchaser but without loss. The fact of quotations here being higher than corresponding quotations in Liverpool is accounted for by the belief that prices are still advancing, this belief being baaed upon gene? ral information as to the Southern crop pros? pects which has not yet been received in Eng? land but which ia current on this side. ST. MICHAEL'S CLOCK.-After weeks of anx? ious expectation, it has been decided that St. Michael's clock is to be repaired, and the con? tract has been awarded to Mr. Summer, a pop? ular horologist. Mr. Summer has made a clock, and the committee tbcl confident that he can mend one. They have decided that his offer is the best, and if the municipal red tape is not too binding, the work will soon be com? menced. The contract has been made for $875, and the contractor binds himself not only to repair the damages and regulate the striking, but to wind the clock for one year. Among the applicants for the contract were black? smiths, wheelwrights, gas fitters, and others not acquainted with the business. The com? mittee exercised their discretion, and have, we trust, made a wise selection. REAL ESTATE SALES.-Messrs. Wardlaw & Carew sold yesterday, at the old Postoffice, the two and a half story wooden building on the cast side of St. Philip-street, southeast corner of McBride's Lane. The house is on a high brick foundation, and contains four square rooms, with attics and basement; the outbuild? ings are spacious, and built of brick. The lot measures fifty feet front on St. Philip-street, and two hundred and fifty feet deep. Terms, $2375-one-third cash; the balance ic ono and two years. Messrs.

MOTOR'S COURT.-"Thc slaughter of the in? nocents*' has produced a beneficial result, and tho attendance at tho court yesterday morn? ing was comparatively slim. Eliza, a colored damsel, who bad a fondness for sweet things, insinuated a stick into tho bung hole of a sugar hogshead on Accommo? dation wharf, and was complacently sucking the same when interrupted by the pofice. Eliza bked sugar, and did not wish to leave her "treasure trove," but, after some resist? ance, was constrained to accompany her cap? tors. She was charged $10 for ber raid, with the option of going lo thc sugarless workhouse for ten days. Two juvenile colored pugilists, who had prob? ably read poetry and were endeavoring to em? ulate Roderick Dhu and Fitz James, were un? seasonably interrupted before the contest was decided. Thc street not being a proper arena, they wore fined S3 each for thc brawl. Three mariners, who went "down to the sea in ships," and then got half seas over on laud, were picked up in a wrecked condition. The salvage was $10 for ono and $5 each for the others. An individual who got drunk on fighting whiskey and charged the police, was charged $20 in return. Another, who drew it milder, escaped with the IOBS of a V. The owner of a night soil cart that leaked in tho streets, wa J fined $5 for the first and $25 for the second leakage. THE UNTIED STATES COURT-HON. GEORGE S. BRYAN PRESEDESG.-The court convened at the usual hour. In thc Circuit Court-On motion of John Phillips, Esq., defendant's attorney, the Fieri Facia3 in the case of Alexander Sutherland and W. D. Johnson ads. the United States, was stayed until the meeting of the United States Circuit Court for South Carolina. It was ordered that Francie J. Pelzer, of the finn of E. H. Rogers A Co., do pay into court the amount of his bid at tho sale in Orange burg on the 4th instant, and that Messrs. Macbeth A Buist be served with a notice to show cause, on Monday next, why the money mould not be paid to the plaintiff on account rf their judgement. In the District Court-The following appli :ations of voluntary bankruptcy were present? ed by the respective counsel, and referred to Henry Summer, Registrar. W. E. Clary, of Edg9field; Messrs. Jones A Tones, solicitors. James 0. Duckett, of Laurens; Messrs. Simpson A Simpson, solicitors. In re Thomas A. Chappell, a bankrupt, and Qngsmore A Chappell. E. R.

Roso vs. Robert Beaty A Co. )n motion of John Grirnball, Esq., it was or lerod that tho Marshal show cause, on March Otb, why thc proceeds of a tract of land, sold nder execution to Keenan A Greenlea!*, are iOt paid over._ CITY FINANCES-IMPORTANT TO TAX-PAYERS. "he recent change rn the Mayoralty caused a light depression in city stock, but the rigor >us policy pursued by the present incumbent, sd his evident intention to better the muni ipal finances, created a healthy reaotion, and ?itv securities are now daily appreciating, dayor Cogswell is determined to keep the sheels of the city government in motion, and ie h:iows that tho only motive power is green lacks. Taxes aro due the city, and they must >e paid, or the defaulters will suffer. The last ax bill made no provision for further interest leeming on back debts, but arranged that tho axes are to be paid in tri-annual instalments, rhe first of these falls due this month, and if | he tax-payers respond promptly, about $150, 100 will be received. A large portion of this sum will doubtless bo paid in city bills, but a mfficient quantity of greenbacks will be se? cured to keep tho municipal machine in run ling order. City bills are now almost as scarce is tho mythical hen's teeth, and it is conti lently expected that the entire circulation will ae called in during tho present month. The rarious taxes that n ill be paid in March w?l mount in the aggregate to a considerable <( sum; but tho terms arc now as fixed as tho laws of the Medea and Persiana-cash up, or property sold by the sheriff. Tho latter func? tionary has received strict orders to levy on all icfaulters, and if the money is not forthcom? ing this week, a large sale will be announced in Monday's NEWS. All who dislike euch news? paper notoriety, should commenco tho study Sf finance immediately, and try to raise the ivind.

A DADE LANTERN PARTY-TSE BADS AFRAID OF NEWSPAPERS-TRET SIT WITH CLOSED DOORS "THE LIBERTY OP THE PRESS" ILLUSTRATED GENERAL B. E. SCOTT THE NEXT GOVERNOR LIVELX THIES AHEAD* Agreeably to tho call of the State Central Committee, tho delegates to a convention for the pnrposo of nominating State officers assem? bled immediately after tho adjournment of tho "Constitutional Convention," B. F. Whitte moro in the chair by virtue of bis office as Chairman of the State Central Committee. On motion of L. S. Langley, J. J. Wright was chosen President pro fera. W. J. McKinlayj was appointed temporary Secretary. * On taking tho chair J. J. Wright (colored), of Beaufort, mado a short address explanatory of the object of the convention, and expressive of the hope that thc body would act prudently, wisely, and well, because upon theil- action de? pended tho futuro success and stability of the party. W. J. McKinlay, of Orangeburg (colored), then moved thal tho hall be cleared ol'all spec? tators,, and no one be allowed on the floor ex? cept delegates to thc Constitutional Conven? tion. F. L. Cardoza sustained the motion, and it being agreed to, the reporters were coniDclied to vacate thc premises. So that our readers and tho people generally will be debarred from the knowledge of things said and done in this Secret Star Chamber, until mattel's have been cut and dried into presentable shape. It is the first time in the political history of any Stato in tho Union that a body which claims to owe its existence to the peoplo them? selves have dared to shut their doors and hide from public observation and criticism. P. S_MIDNIGHT.-Tho latest information we have from the Nominating Convention is that the permanent organization is as follows: President, W. J. Whipper (colored), of Beaufort; Secretaries J. H. Rainey (colored), of Georgetown, and J. K. Jillson (white), of Kershaw. A heavy fight took place on the admission of tho Orangeburg delegation. The delegates from that district claimed the place of honor, but, after much discussion and hullabalooing, the old regime was crowded out, and the new admitted. The convention proceeded to ballot for Gov? ernor. The first was informai, and resulted as follows: For General R. K. Scott, 61; for T. J. Roberson, 54. Speeches were made pro and con, and the second ballot caught the scattering votes as follows: Scott, 68; Robertson, 51. More fillibustering-another ballot-result a nice Bpeech from Dr. Neagle, of York, and the withdrawal of the name of T. J. Robertson. General Scott was therefore nominated by acclamation. The convention next proceeded to consider the claims ot' candidates for Lieutenant-Gover nor. The name of J. J. Wright (colored) was circulated extensively, but, as we go to presB, the understanding is that Lemuel Boozer, of Lexington, is the favorite nominee. Judge Boozer is au old member of the legislature, familiar with parliamentary law, and more than any man in the convention fitted for the position. ON THE STREET. ?nt? long after midnight, tho excitement connected with the nominations was unabated. Grave citizens and "men about town" consid? ered the occasion of sufficient importance to keep them out of their beds, and until a late hour curiosity was rampant to learn the names of candidates for whom the suffrages of the "unwashed" are expected. Friends of the several nom?neos vibrated with industrious pertinacity between tho Club House and the neighboring gas lights; and the interest ex? hibited in the result found shape in promises, predilections, beta, and "drinks all 'round." REGULAR MEETTNG OP Crrr COUNCIL. Mayor Cogswell not appearing, and a full quo? rum of Aldermen being present, Alderman Courtenay moved that Alderman Bavenel take the Chair, and Council proceed to busi? ness.

The latter are exempt by an ordinance ratified June 29th, 1793. As to the cause of exemption of railroad property, they will confer with the City Attor? ney and report to Council at a future meeting. Alderman Ravenel gave notice of a bill to prevent and punish any indecent exposure or improper conduct, and asked that it be con? sidered its first reading. On motion Council then adjourned.
