To-night we aro to have "Queen Elizabeth," the tragedy, in which Mrs. Lander and the great Ristori have won so mnch credit and-cash. As Friday is always the fashiona? ble night of the weak, a jam may be expected. A COMPLAINT Boos.-Mayor Cogswell has di? rected a "complaint book" to be opened at the City Inspector's Office, in the basement of the City Hail. It has been suggested that two books, one to be kept at each guardhouse, would better answer thc purposes intended, and be a convenience tc the residents of the upper wards. The book is designed for the nae of the people, and the complaints entered each day will te rigidly examined at the Mayor's Court next morning. ' A "complaint book" was opened during Mayor Miles' ad? ministration and was found very serviceable in correcting abuses. CTVTL AUTHORITY. SUPREME_Among the prisoner? brought before the Mayor yesterday were two soldiers, charged with (Inuikennese. Heretofore it has been the practice to send military offenders to the Citadel; but Mayor Cogswei? decided that having transgressed civil ordinances they must bo punched by tho civil authority; and that drurien soldiers will hereafter receive the same punishment as fud? dled citizens. One of thc warriors was fined ?15 for his spree, and the other, who took ad? vantage ot f. citizen's garb, was fined $15 for the drunk and $5 for having-doffed his uniform coat. CITY IMPROVEMENTS.- Ihe Mayor lias in? structed Mr. Louis J. Barbot to open a book in his office to receive the subscriptions of the citizens of tho upper wards who desire to have a shell road on Meeting and King streets from Line-street to the city boundary. Several res? idents of these wards havo applied to tho Mayor to have this road rebuilt, and it is de? sired to know how much the property holders will contribute to it as a work of convenience, health and improvement. The Mayor seems determined to reconstruct the city, and if the tzx-payers and residents cboosjto respond, the upper wards will soon have a substantial road. CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS.-The dele-\ gates of the First Congressional District as? sembled at the Club House yesterday morning, at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of selecting a re-, presentative to Congress. J. K. Jillson was called to the chair; S. A. Swails, Secretary. ( Mr. B. F. Whittemore, of Darlington, re? ceived the nomination by acclamation, and, without opposition. , F. J. Moses, Jr., of Sumter, made a speech, congratulating tho nominee, and pledging the support of the Bepublicans of his district and his own labors in aid of the election. Mr. Whittemore responded in fitting and feeling terms, and tho meeting adjourued. The delegates from the Third Congressional District also met at the Club tlnrtse, and after some little wire-pulling and m :.: uuvcring, a a vote was taken which resulted in the choice of Simeon Corley, of Lexington, to represent the District. The delegates of thin Congressional District meet to-day, when it is anticipated there will bc a very lively scrimmage between the friends of C. C. Bowcu, Ge.ieral Stoibrand and Gilbert Pillsbury. Lu the Fourth Congressional District Con? vention, which assembled last evening. J. N. Rutland was called to the chair; J. H. Ruuion and Y. J. P. Owings chosen secr?tanos. It was agreed that the first ballot should be forma! and that the majority should elect. Speeches were mado pro and con in ' ivor of tho respective candidates, and the first vote showed that J. H. Goss, of Union, received 17 voles. - Allen, of Greenville, received 10 votes. Considerable oonstarnatiou ensued among the minority, and more talk. Three or four of the delegates belted. A majority, however, remained, and a motion was ma de to declare J. H. Goss tho candidate for Congress by acclamation, which was agreed to, and amid great enthusiasm the annonncemeut was made. We hear that Mr. Allen threatens to run as an independent candidate. Thc \( w Orleans Times and thc Fire? men. To the Editora of the Daily News : My attention has been called to tho following paragraph, which appeared in a late number of the New Orleans Times : "In vain do we look ai tho records of other cities for examples of that devotion and energy which are characteristic of our firemen. In other cities tho spirit of lawlessness and riot is set loose ou every occasion, and rowdyism mingles with blackguai?ism, to make fire com? panies shunned and their unions feared; their parades never take place without a heavy dis? play of police vigilance-their reunions ore orgies and their entertainments beastly. But our lire companies form a brotherhood of men whose entertainments are got up with t:sto and in order, whose celebrations are con? ducted with elegance, and th3 force of whose services is made apparent on every occasion that tho public good requires. They live in the hearts of thc people, who cherish in gratoful remembrance their good deeds, and who, on their fete days, move along their proces? sions in masses "of popular strength. Each company has its own officers and club rules, and their meetings are conducted with an or? der and decorum which puts to shame the de? liberations of city councils, and iboir laws for their own government are obeyed, or aro im? plicitly followed with a good will and subser? vience" which, it is amazing, arc seldom seen in deliberative bodies, and which are vaunted as the law builders for thc country. None of thc public exhibitions of this city can ever be complete without thc aid of the firemen, whose united force of character any society may covet and few at tam. Hack 30in? thirty years ago, an old inhabitant reflects upon the improve? ments which time has mado in the fire de? partment, and looks upon the result of their societies with pride. The small hand engines have disappeared from euch a size as Brooklyn Three, of Algiers, gave to their boys, they have grown to be of largo dimensions, and these in tura have given place to tho steam fire engine, models of architectural beauty and correct uniformity, and tho whole with the present organization have reached a thorough efficiency." Of the firemen of New Orleans, I know but little, but I am satisfied that the writer of the above paragragh received no encouragement from them in his attempt to exalt the firemen of one particular city at the expense of the fire departments in all other cities in tho whole United States. Ignorance can be excused; ! malice and ignorance combined cannot be par I doned. If the Times is serious in its asser? tions, I pronounce them to be as untrue as they aro scandalous ; if the Times erred through inadvertence-, I respectfully ask that it will at once, as a respectable journal, with? draw its reckless accusations. In stating broadly that the firemon of the South aro neither lawless rioters nor beastly, and affirming, on the other band, that they are decorous, obedient, and of good reputation I am speaking of my own knowledge and upon my own responsibility. For many years I have known the Charles? ton Fire Department, for many years I have been connected with it; and, while I do know that its members are good citizens, honest men, brave and untiring firemen, and ines? timable and worthy in every condition of fife, I cannot, as their chief, allow them to be villi fied and abused in common with their brethren in the South. The paragraph in question is so loosely con? structed, so lame and impotent in expression, that it cannot well have been written by a member of the editorial staff of the Times, and I do not therefore, in all courtesy, hesitate to call upon the editors of that paper for ex? planation or apology. If they will make nei? ther, it must then bo assumed that the vision of the Times is limited, that it cannot see be? yond ?>iow Orleans, and has no knowledge of anything that goes on beyond its borders. As 1 oap as it confines its remarks to a tromendous praise of its own people, outsiders have noth? ing to say; but when it errs wilfully, when it makes charges that a blind man could see to be untrue, I, as the representative of tho eight hundred gentlemen who compose the Fire De? partment of Charleston, am bound in honor and duty to give its statements an emphatic and a positive denial. M. H. NATHAN, Chief Fire Department. IXTEEESTTSG MEMENTOES OF THE W.AR TlATE. -There is probably no city in America which has become more interesting in a historical point of view, and to which tho thoughts of other generations will more frequently revert i in connection with the late uncivil war, than this same old "City by the Sea." Fort Sumter will always bo associated with the story of desperate heroism on the one hand, and of the persistent toil of tho military engineer on the other. Our battered homes and charred ruins; [ our B.- ' tory with its fringe of stately man? sions; our remnants of fortifications, aud a thousand other objects of interest, must, for years to come, attract the tourist and sight? seer. Still, one by one they ore passing away, and tho march of improvement will soon have obliterated all these rcmiscenccs of thc war, and they will live only in the memories of our own people, or upon the canvas of the artist and thc storied page of the chronicler. Heneo wo were glad the other day to leam that Messrs. Quinby & Co., the accomplished photographers, have been, for weeks, busily engaged in making pictures of every object of interest in and around Charleston, especially those which wo have named. Man*- of these works of art we have had tho pie? sui o of in? specting. Fort Sumter has received special attention, and thero is scarcoly a fepture of the old pile which has not been caught and perpet? uated by the camera. Other portions of tho city and surroundings bavo, with equal fidelity, been pictured; and for a small sum a score or more ot stereo? scopic and photographic views may be ob? tained as choice and curious adornments for the album or etagere. IarroBTA>*T MUNICIPAL BEG?LATIONS.-At the Mayor's Court, yesterday morning, two promi? nent business firms wero fined for a violation of city ordinances that had not been enforced for years, and the existence of which was gene? rally unknown. It has long been customary lor the auction and real estate agents to soil the property consigned to them on the sidewalk in front of their offices. These sales have invari? ably collected a large crowd, blocking up thc pavement and obstructing passers-by. Thc attontion of thc Mayor was called to this nui? sance, ami the offending parties were fined $50, in accordance with tho ordinance relating to thc obstruction of sir ots and sidewalks, which authorize thc imposition o a linc not exceed? ing $100. Thc second instance was the imposition of a fine of S100 on a firm for packing loose cotton without a license. Thc excuso given was that a license had been taken out, which was con? sidered perpetual. As tew licenses arc grant? ed on those terms, the plea was ineffectual. Thc municipal ordinance rclaiing to the pack? ing of cotton was ratified on March 14, 1319, and provides that cotton shall be packed in certain localities and under certain regulations, or a fino may be imposed not exceeding $1000. This ordinance has never boen repealed, and though many ot its specifications have been violated by thc authority of Council, it stilj remains one of tho city laws. In almost evcrv instance one-half of the fine is given to tho policeman or tue informer, thc other to the city; and the former class, as a consequence, have been hiduitriously posting theaisolvos in regard to dormant city ordinances.
