CATHOLIC INSTITUTE.-The monthly meeting of the Catholic Institute will be held this eve? ning, 12th instant, at half past 7 o'clock, in the basement of St. Paul's Church, Society-street. THEATRE.-The threatening aspect of the weather deterred many from attending the Theatre last night, and "Ingomar" was per? formed to a rather slim house. Miss Glad? stane fully confirmed the good impression she created on her first appearance. Mr. Collins, as Polydore, attracted general attention. He is inimitable in his humorous sallies and droll acting. "Stage Struck''is one of the best farces that bas been produced this season, and was greeted with thandura of applause. THESTBIET RAILWAY.-We noticed yesterday that the cars on the Butledge-street line were running at intervals often min?tes, instead of | every fifteen minutes as heretefore. The expla? nation of the change is that the company have placed on that line an additional car, to be known RS No. 36, and to be under the charge of Conduc? tor Gaillard Fitzsimons. Hereafter on Sundays four care from each line will be on duty during the entire day. The City Rail ./ay has now got to be so popular and useful an institution that every detail of its operation is a matter of gen? eral interest to the public. WHITE LABOB.-At a meeting of the Charles? ton Workingmen's Mutual Association, the fol. lowing officers were elected : H. L. TOOMEB, President WM. WATSON, Stevedore. E. C. PRINCE, Secretiry and Treasurer. The meeting that was called for nezt Sat? urday evening has been postponed until a suitable placo can be obtained for that pur? pose. Notice will be given through the daily papers when the first regular meeting will take place. ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTH ANOTVEBSABT OF THE FELLOWSHIP SOCIETY.-This society cele? brated its anniversary yesterday at the Mili? tary Hall. No dinner was furnished on account of the tightness of the times; but the members partook of a generous collation during the recess. The following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: RICHARD TEA DON. President .CHAS. H. SIMONTON, Semor Warden. HENRY BUIST, Junior Warden. JOHN H. HONOUR, Treasurer. CAMPBELL DOUGLAS, Secretary. C. W. STILES, i <?iamrAe W. L. DAGGBTT, \ ste,rards *Pice C. M. Fnrman dec Un ed. THE SAVANNAH FIRE PARADE.-Wo learn from a private letter that the annual parade of the Savannah Fire Department, to take place on the 1st of May, will be one of the finest that has occurred in the South for years. Com? panies from Philadelphia, Augusta, Atlanta and Cincinnati are to attend. It was also ru? mored that one of the companies from this city would visit their brother firemen of Savannah. In case any company in the department should decide to make the trip Mr. Chas. J. White, the Secretary of the Savannah Fire Depart? ment, will furnish foll particulars as to accom? modations, &c. From the activity that is visi? ble among the firemen, we presume that ar? rangements are in progress and the visit de? cided on._ . DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT OF THE BR?DER? LICHE BUND.-Our German friends of this so? ciety give one of their pleasing entertainments this evening. The annexed programme will give an idea of the enjoyments in prospect. The entertainment will be dram'.Lic, musical and social, opening with an orchestral flourish and an arietta from "the children of Herman." A comical discourse, "Jacobson Goldschmidt's Thoughts on Rosanna at Sunset," then follows, and, after a duet from the Daughter of the Regiment, and an arietta from "Martha," the play of the evening is introduced, viz : "The Feast of the Mechanic," a comical description .of every day life, by Lom's Angely. The char? acters are mechanics ofevery trade, who, with their wives, discuss the feast and give their views on the situation. The performances conclude with "The Wolfs Den," after which tho floors are cleared, and the company gaily ?begin to trip it on the light fantastic toe. THE IMX-BO YEMEN TS now in progress in every part of the city are the theme of gene? ral remark. These are particularly noticeable at the corner of Queen and Meeting streets. On the east side Captain Habernicht is laying a substantial asphalt am pavement formed of tar, lime and gravel. Only a small section of this has been finished, but sufficient to show the general appearance of the whole when com? pleted. Messrs. Sawner 4 Ferguson are erect? ing a neat picket fence along the edge of the burnt district. This in on the line of the side? walk, and will be a decided improvement to the -city as well as an assistance to the pedestrian. On the opposite side of the street the stone flagging is being relaid in an even manner, and the sidewalk made to assume its ante bellum appearance. These changes have been effected by the Mayor and Mr. Louis J. Barbot, tho City Engineer, who has the superintendence of tho entire work. Estimates havo been fur? nished, contracts made, and this portion of tho city will soon be far moro sightly than at any time since the great fire. In erecting thc picket fences the owners are allowed thc op? tion of paying an assessment of forty cents per running foot or of putting them up at their own expense. Homo property owners have preferred the latter plan, and the result has been a slight in COBgrojly, '* portion ot the fencing being lower than th? Tb? City Engineer has in con? templation tU? Ulimu up of all excavated lots and cellars,. &t?'l a thorough grading of the burnt district, ntl that the water may be drain? ed from tho surface. Tho ne? s that these im? provements were intended spread like wild fire among tho laboring classes, and the offico of thc City Engineer has been thronged with applicants for work. A large number were ne? groes from thc islands, who had heard that thc new Mayor was working wonders and doing miracles, and ti. * greenbacks could be had for the asking. Mr. Barbot soon engaged a suffi? cient number, and a notice on his door told future applicants that "all who entered there left hope behind them." The Nominating Convention, HS WORE COMPLETE-COLORED DIXEGATE3 TO THU CHICAGO CONVENTION-MBHFERS OF 0OK GBESS-GBANT NOMINATED FOB PRESIDENT SPEECH BY THE LTETJTINANT-GO'rERKOB THAT IS TO BE-A BLAZE OF GLORY, 4C, 4C, 4C, At twelve o'clock yesterday, immediately after the adjournment of tho "Constitutional Convention," the President, W. G. Whipper, of Beaufort, called tho delegates to order, and the convention proceeded to diticuss the can didates for tho office of Lieutenant-Governor As we intimated in a forme!.1 issue, J. J, Wright (colored), of Beaufort, was nominated and strongly urged by a large proportion of the delegates for the position; bit when a mo tion was made to declare him tho unanimous choice of the convention, a lively discussion ensued. A. J. Bansier, E. C. DeLar?re, and B. A. Bozeman, all of them colored men from Charleston, contended first that Wright was not qualified for the position; secondly, that if he was elected, it would ruin tho party to put a colored man in such 3 high office; and third, that a? a nominee for Governor was a Northern man, it was eminently important that the Lieutenant-Governor should be a South Caro? linian. Honce they preferred Judge Lemuel Boozer, of Lexington District, to all others. Theso counsels were evidently not without weight. Upon proceeding to ballot, Judge Boozer was found to have seventy-three, and J. J. Wright thirty-five votes. Seventy-five votes were necessary to a choice, under tho two-third rule which had been adopted. B. F. Whittemore was now called to the chair to allow W. G. Whipper, tae President, to make a statement. The latter said that an agreement had been made between Wright and himself that both should withdraw from the contest, and he was sorry that his colleagu had suffer jd his name to be uised after such an understanding. A. J. Bansier then moved that Judge Boozer be declared the unanimous choice of the con vention for Lieutenant-Gove:.Tior, which was agreed to amid much enthusiasm. The House then adjourned until 3 o'clock P. M. "Tickle me John, tickle me, do, You tickle me, and I'll tickle you." This seems to be the animating spirit. All sorts of trades and arrangements are made between candidates and the friends of candi? dates, to obtain the largest number of votes. A swears to support B, if B and his cohorts, will only fight to the death J'or A. If A gets whipped, then C has to look out for his pros? pects, or A, who don't wish to be laid ui -oi. the shelf, will get after him, und with ont iell swoop, knock down his pile of blicks. C gets mad and nervous at this ir fringemeut of his rights, treats heavily, and waits anxiously for the denouement. And so on. We learn that after the withdrawal of Col. T. J. Robertson from the contest for Governor, the convention unanimously adopted a resolu? tion, recommen cling the General Assembly to support him for United Slates Senator, and pledging to him the strength of the party. Such a valuable ointment, must necessarily be soothing to the abrased surfaces of the unlucky candidate, and it is to be presumed that he fully appreciates the truth of the old maxim, that "it's an ill wind which blows nobody good."
