THE KAOLIN CLAY.-The South Carolina Rail?
road brought down from the neighborhood of
Greenville no less than 520,000 pounds of Kao?

serve for the manufacturers of porcelain alone,
but that it is used in the fabrication of " meer*
schaum " pipes, as well as for the adulteration
of flour, and all other white impalpable powders
which cost more than the ground Kaolin. Can
this be true ?

GEORGE a P?LZ?B, M. D" City Registrar.
Tho Nev? Charleston Customhouse
The United Slates Government having
tcrmined upon the construction of a new (
tomhouse in Charleston, purchased from
Fitzsimons, in tho year 1819, a lot at the sot
east corner of East Bay and Market-street,
the sum of $130,000, measuring two hund
and seventy-six fest on East Bay-street, i
extending oastwardly to the channel of Coo
River.
The building is recessed from the lin?
East Bay-street, sixty-four feet, and accord
to the original design adopted in Washingl
was to be as follows :
The general plan of the building in tho fo
of a cross. Its extremo length from east tow
two hundred and fifty-nine feet, and from no:
to south one hundred and fifty-two feet
inches. Threo stories in height, the basemi
to be used principally for storing heavy goo
and the two upper stories for offices. Tho st
rich Boman Corinthian; tito order extendi
uninterruptedly through the two upper stori
and elevated upon a rusticated basement. Ea
of the four fronts, or ends of the cross, dei
rated with a Corinthian portico of six flut
columns; and to the sido walls attached C
rintbian columns; the doors and windows e
richedwith earrings. Broad and massive fligi
of granite steps ascend from the ground to t
east and west porticos. The entire pile design
to be surmounted by a Corinthian dome, t
highest point of which to be one hundred ai
sixty feet above the level of the street; the stru
true to be made entirely fire-proof, the bas
ment granite, and tho two upper stories whi
American marble, the ceiling of basement
complicated system of masonry, groined arch
springing from the exterior trails and nume
ons gr?mte piers, and forming the floor
principal story. The other f.oors a combin
tion of iron girders and brick arches; the ro
to be stone or metal. The principal apai
ment, in point of magnitude and decorado
would be the great business circular room,
the centre, under dome, extending in heigl
through the two upper s tories, covered with
hemispherical vaulted ceiling, enriched wit
sunk panels and tracer}*, supported upc
twelve fluted Corinthian columns, the princ
pal light passing from tho ceiling abov
through richly stained glass, upon a floor <
encaustic tiles, bearing the armorials of all tl
States. All the other apartments or offices 1
bo finished in style and decoration comportin
with this.
Mr. Edward B. Whito, of this city, was ai
pointed by the Treasury Department arch
tect of thc building, and under his soperix
tendence the entire work has thus far beo:
built. The walls have boon carried up to th
cornice of the exterior Corinthian order belore
mentioned, so that in effect the masonry c
the exterior, excepting tho porticos, is for th
most part finished throughout the three slo
rios. The ground arches of basement, excep
the great central arch, are completed; tb
iron girders and arches for other floors noarl;
done; the iron doors, shutters, and sashes o
basement have been made and hung, ant
many other expensive items of the intorio;
completed.
At this point the war occurred, and put i
stop to the progress of construction. Then
having been expended to this date $2,034,000
In passing, a word may be said relative tc
the foundation. Bamsay's History of South
Carolina shows Charleston to have been enclos
ed and fortified; and on the northeast limil
stood Craven's Bastion, to the foot of whicl
washed the tides of Cooper Biver. In cours*
of time the city advanced eastward, encroach'
ing upon the waters of Cooper Biver, by beins
filled up with debris of the city, and by build?
ing of wharves, to its present limits. The nen
customhouse occupies in part the location ol
Craven's Bastion; traces of which were discov?
ered by the architect in excavating for the
foundations. Under these circumstances it
became necessary to securo the foundations of
the building by driving seven thousand piles
forty feet in length, through the alluvial and
other geological formations, to a compact bed
of sand, which overlies tho marl, and upon
these piles rest the timbers of grillage and the
masonry of foundations. All those details, to?
gether with the difficulties encountered by tho
tides, during the progress of the foundations,
and which called into action much engineering
skill, would constitute a very interesting scien?
tific narrative.
During the war which lately convulsed
the country, a wooden roof, covered with tin,
was placed upon tho building f .ts protection,
and in this condition it remained until July,
1867; at that time, Congress having appropri?
ated $30,000, operations to a limited extent
were recommenced. The Collector, Hon. A.
G. Mackey, with the assistance of Mr. Whito,
the former architect, fitted up the principal
story and part of the uppor story in such man?
ner as to render the building suitable for busi?
ness purposes, BO that the customhouse de?
partment has been removed to tho new build?
ing and business is now there transacted.
It is to be regretted that the building still
remains in an unfinished condition although
so much has bee a done with ht tie means. The
present collector, Dr. A. G. Mackey, bas expend?
ed the $30,000 appropriated by Congress most
judiciously, but it teas only a drop in the bucket,
and, wh?e the building has been made tenable,
it has not b nen possible to adhere closely to
the original plan. Wood has been necessarily
introduced, and partitions have been thrown up
between the different apartments, but as far as
practicable, masonry has been used. To Colo?
nel White the architect, is mainly due the
"redit of remodelling the building, and render?
ing it suitable for a Customhouse. The
temporary repairs made under his superintend
nnce will last until Congress appropriates a
sufficient sum to complete the structure as first
mended. There is now over $300,000 worth of
raluable out marble lying on the premises ex
Dosed to any strong backed depredator, and a
further expenditure would soon render it a vail a
)le. The original plan of the building was to
nako it strictly fire proof, and no Are places
vere constructed. A steam engine place din the
)avemeut was designed to woru a large fanner
vhich drove hot air through flues leading to
;he various portions of the building; the tem?
perature of the air being regulated according
to the season of the year. This waB consider
3d to be absolutely necessary to comfort, as
;he heavy masoory generated a moisture that
iripped on the floors, and would have made
;he inmates uncomfortably damp. The huge
jirders and other iron works, as well as the
Eloora in the building, havo been discolored
ind stained from this cause. This incon?
venience has been partially obviated by tho
ase of large stoves, but the only plan by which
.ho building eau be thoroughly heated and
ventilated is that previously mentioned. Dr.
donkey has been untiring in his efforts to
secure further appropriations from Congress,
md his connection with tho Republican party
nay enable him to obtain the needed sum.
THE COTTON MABEET.-The staplo which has
>een for several days remarkably buoyant, was
resterday somewhat quiet, the slight recession
a prices both at Liverpool and New York,
.using buyers to hold off or offer slightly
ower rates. Factors remained, however, quite
inn, and but limited purchases could bo made.
?he stock at present here is so much reduced,
hat holders feel quite independent, and believe
hortly that prices will be fully mamtained for
he balance of the season, and are not disposed
o abate their pretensions. The English and
few York telegrams showed large sales, and
indicate a healthy condition of affaire. Much
of the supply in the market is held at ?gures
oven above prevailing rates, and thirty cents
per pound for middlings is looked for. We
think that growers of the article may expect
good prices for some time to come.
MAYOB'S CODBT_An individual who had
transgrcssci the citty ordinances by selling
liquor on Sunday, was charge d $10 for the vio?
lation.
A disorderly sailor who had intruded himself
on the landlubbers was charged tu, which was
paid by his captain.
Two unfortunates who had taken soveral
drops too much, dropped on the pavement,
and would have remained there but for the
efforts of some policemen who took tho ine?
briates to tho guardhouse. They wore charged
$10 each for the night's frolic.
A junk dealer who had purchased some
clothing from a small boy was arrested by tho
detectives, and tho caso being a clear one ho
was compelled to refund bis booty and deposit
$10 in tho City Treasury.
A colored pupil in the Franklin-street School
forgot to obey the commands of her teacher,
and was guilty of gross disrespect. The pun?
ishment imposed was resented, and tho moth?
er of the pupil came to tho school and endea?
vored to create a disturbance. A policeman
was sent for and tho pair taken to the guard?
house. As they evidently needed & little dis?
cipline, the mother was sent to tho workhouse
for seven days and the daughter for five.
A ragged and dirty colored boy applied to
the guardhouse for lodgings. He said that ho
hailed from Sumter, and came on the train.
He was evidently travelling on his muscle, and
wished to see the world. He said that he just
"came to bo coming," and had no particular
object in visiting tho city. The Mayor ap?
proved his adventurous spirit, but thought it
better for him to "go and be going," and or?
dered him to be sent back to Sumter.
A white applicant for lodgings, who had pre?
viously spent a night in a cell, was sent to the
workhouse and assigned quarters in that in?
stitution for fifteen days.
A colored fowl thief, who had moro pullets
than he could account for, was sent to the
work house for ten days.
A smoker, who perfumed tho wharves with
his weed, paid $5 for the privilege.
Two colored girls, who were charged with
fighting in the streets, were beard. Ono was
too modest to talk, although she was appa?
rently tho pummelled party. A colored man
witnessed tho fray and testified as to her inno- j
cenco. The assailant got fifteen days in the
workhouse for her amazonian efforts.

THE CHARLESTON HOTEL AND ITS RECENT 1M
PBOVEitENTS.-Since Major Horbach assumed
the duties of manager and superintendent of 1
this hotel, a general renovation has been in*
angurated. We have briefly alluded to the
changes in progress from time to time, and
have noted each improvement. The illumi?
nation of the two verandas was, perhaps, the
most popular innovation on old customs, but
Major Horbach has determined to let the in?
ternal arrangements be fully equal to tho dis?
play on tho exterior. For the past few
weeks the guests of the hotel have been
laking their meals in the ladies' ordinary
on tho second story, and tho old dining
room was subjected to a thorough and complete
change. Tho reconstruction was radical, as it
was commenced at the very root. The old
flooring was removed and a new one laid, the
boards being from two and a half to three
and a half inob.es in width. This new floor was
laid uniformly throughout the room, and pre?
sents a pleasing contrast to the old dingy
flooring. Tho walls were originally painted
blue and gold; this was all removed and a
fresh coating of a pleasing croom tint subst i til?
ed, whilo tho size of the room was increased
by eighteen feet, tho old petition that separa?
ted the carver from the ball being removed,
and two light screens used in its stead. Be?
hind this screen a number of cupboards have
been arranged as receptacles for tho crockery
and glassware. Two tables have been prepared
with cast iron dishes for the coffee, soup and
meats. These are all heated by steam, and tho
dishes are always kept at the same temp?ra?
ture In the culinary department of the hotel
the same activity has been displayed.
The dining room was opened last night for
the first time since its reorganization, and a
"hop" party given by General Clitz. The hall
was admirably adapted to this purpose, and as
the floors hadbeon waxed, thc "light fantas?
tic" was tripped in tho most graceful manner.
Major Horbach is indebted to Mr. John H.
Deveroaux for the carpenter work, Mr. C. W.
Styles for tho painting, and Mr. J. W.Paddon
for tho new lights. The renovations are near?
ly completed, but tho room will not be thrown
open to the public for some days.

Simonton & Barker proctors for petitioner.
Petition read and referred to R. B. Carpenter,

In the case of W. J. Trim, bankrupt, it ap?
peared, by a certificate from the registrar,
that Mr. J. Barrett Cohen had claimed the
right to vote for assignee as the attorney of
ono of tho creditors, although he bad no letter
of-attorney from the creditor whom ho claimed
to represent. The Registrar in Bankruptcy,
R. B. Carpenter, E"jq., decided that, under
such circumstances, thc attorney had no right
to vote for assignee, because the law provides
for a letter-of-attorney, and because the act is
one of an attorney in fact, and not an attorney
at law, and because the facts in tho case nega?
tived the idea of his being authorized by the
creditor to vote. Thereupon the question was
submitted to tho court in the following form:
"Can an attornoy, under a general employ?
ment, without special authority from the prin?
cipal, vote for assignee?"
Judge Bryanrenderod his decision as follows:
"The court concurs in tho conclusion of the
Registrar, Mr. Carpenter, in thia case, and for
the reasons stated by him. The act constitutes
the rules of tho Supreme Court a portion of it;
and the rules prescribe the manner in which an
attorney must bo appointed, and such manner
is tho only manner. A general attornoy is not
constituted in this manner, and his authority
cannot bo presumed against the exigency of tho
rule."
AN IMPORTANT ORDER-TUE RELIEF OF THE
POOH-SALES UNDER EXEOUTION OB PROCESS.
Tho following general orders were issued yes?
terday by General Canby:
HEADQUARTERS SECOND MTETTAEV DISTRICT, ?
CHARLESTON, S. C., March 30,1868. j
[GENERAL ORDERS NO. 53.]
I. Representations having been made that
the proper municipal authorities have m some
instances refused or failed to make an impar?
tial application of the means under their con?
trol for the relief of the poor; it is ordered,
That all district, county, or other municipal
officers, having the care of the poor or the dis?
bursement of public moneys appropriated to
the benefit ol the poor, shall provide for all
proper objects of publio charity, without re?
gard to color or race, to the extent of the
means under their control or of the authori?
ty with which they are invested; and, to the
end that the means of relief provided by mu?
nicipal laws, or by military orders, or by the
government, may be more immediately and
efficiently applied, this subject is placed nuder
the general supervision ol post commanders,
to whom the reporta required by General Or?
ders from these Headquarters. No. 164,1867
(paragraph UL, section 7), will hereafter be
made by the commissioners, overseers or
wardens of the poor.
II. On the application of the Governor of
North Carolina for a modification of so much
of General Orders No. 164 as directs that the
Eroceeds of licenses for the sale of liquors, Ac.,
e devoted to the support of the poor, it is or?
dered that whenever the wardens or other au?
thorities charged with the care of the poor in
any city, county or town, in the State of North
Carolina, shall certify that ample provision for
their support has been made, and that thc pro?
ceeds of the licenses as aforesaid are not
needed, it shall bo tho duty of the Po9t Com?
mander to direct that the proccods of licenses
granted by the State for tho retail of spirituous
quors, within the jurisdiction of the said
wardens, be paid into tho Treasury of the
State to tho credit of tho President and Direc?
tors of the Literary Fund.
III. In like manner, Post Commanders
throughout this military district, upon satis?
factory evidence that tho poor in any city or
town within the limits of their posts have boon
properly provided for, will authorize the pro?
ceeds of licenses for the retail of spirituous
liquors granted by said oity or town to be paid
into the city or town treasury; but in all
cases the proceeds of fines, except the
amounts adjudged to informers, and the for?
feitures imposed, will still be devoted, as di?
rected by said General Orders 164, to the sup?
port of the poor.
IV. To secure a more perfect enforcement of
the provisions of paragraph m. of General
Orders No. 164 (1867), and to remove some
doubts as to the construction of the sixth sec?
tion of that paragraph, the civil courts of the
States of North Carolina and South Carolina
are invested with jurisdiction to try and
determine all cases arising under the provi?
sions of that paragraph, as well for the viola?
tion ot military orders as of the local police
regulations; and upon conviction, to enforce

RODUNDA ISLAND GUANO.
A Pare, Unmixed, Natural Guano, as
Fine as Floor (although not Ground),
jost In the Condition In which it is
Imported from the Island.
THIS GUANO IS FROM A RECENTLY DIS?
COVERED deposit on Roduuda Island, in the
Carribean Sea. West Indies, latitude 16 degrees 56
minutes north, longitude 62 degrees 23 minutes
west
It has been used for many years in the West India
blands in the cultivation of Sugar Cane and cereals
with great success; was introduced for the first time
to the farmers and planters of the United States in
the spring of 1866, and has met wi. h unprecedented
success, OR the subjoined reports and testimonials ful?
ly corroborate.
The RODUNDA GUANO is not a mineral phos?
phate, requiring the action of the Sulphuric Acid to
render it soluble; its great power as a fertilizer is in
its entire solubility, without tho sid of acid, lt is
not a "manipulation" or Compound of tish or Flesh
with Minora! Phosphates, the regularity of which is
always uncertain and dependent upon, and controll?
ed by the honesty ol the manufacturer. The RO?
DUNDA ia a PUKE NATURAL GUASO (that term
being understood tornean the excrement of fish-eat?
ing birds;, as the large per cenuge of organic mat?
ter sufficiently attests, and as fouud upon the Island
of Roduuda, in the very state as imported and sold
to consumers.
Ihc regularity and uniformity of tho fineness and
condition ol the various cargoes already imported by
us into thu United States, tested by the analysts of
thc most omincnt Chemists of this country and Eu?
rope, is sufficient proof of its ortaiu and a guarani ce
of our ability to furnish this Guauo of the quality
and purity represented.
The PitlCE of tho HODUNDA GUANO is not the
least unimportant in these days of agricultural com
petition aud pecuniary embarrassment
The very low price at which it can be sold placcsit
within the reach ot every farmer, and avoids the risk
of large loss frequently incurred by failures of the
crops in thc purchase of high priced fertilizers.
In thc preparation ot lands for Wheat and other
cereals this Guano pos.-esses properties that reader
it more desirable ior these crops than any yet offered
to the public.
Pamphlets containing the analysis and experi?
ments made bv the mos-t prominent Chemists of this
country and in Europe, together with innumerable
certificates of its entire success Jrom farmers and
planters, con bc obtained at our Office, to which we
m vite attention.
Price SiO per lon, in bags or barrels, in Charles?
ton.
A liberal deduction made to dealers and purchas?
ers ot large quantities.
Where the above Fertiliser is ordered in
quantities sufficient to warrant it, the terms
will be made accommodating to approved pur
chasers, aud reasonable time given for satis?
factory city acceptance.
