His Honor also said, that he intended to re? duce the city detective force to four whites . and two colored. THE SHTP RICHABD LU AND STEAMEB FAN ;HTE.-These vessels still remain ashore.

WHITING) held an inquest yester? day morning on the body of Commodore -George A. Prentiss, a retired officer of the United States Navy. Commodore Prentiss was A passenger on the cars, and while near Wind? sor was seen to fall over. Every attention was .paid bim, but life was found to be extinct. The jury rendered a verdict that the deceased carno to his death by apoplexy. The body and the assets were turned over by Coroner Whiting to the milite ry, who will assume ?charge of the in termes t. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-Peter Murphy, the man .charged with the murder of Hnghey Teague, the blind man, mentioned in THE NEWS some .dara since, attempted to commit suicide in the .jail yesterday morning. He had procured a glass bottle, which he broke, and opened the veins of his arms with the fragments. He was -discovered by the turnkey, and received prompt attention. As there is good reason to believe the man insane, a committee de lun?tico de inquirendo has been summoned, and if they report favorably, Murphy will be sent to the -asylum. J SUDDEN DEATH.-The body of an unknown man was found on Monday in a field at Ches? ter. The body was taken to the courthouse, and, on examination, letters were found which ?ed to the belief that the unfortuno man was Mi. John McAliley, of Florida, on a visit to this place. A quantity of opium was also found .on bis person. It is generally surmised that he had passed up the road, some distance, in search of the home of a relative, and on his re? turn, feeling exhausted and sick, seated him? self on the roadside, at which place he was found. He was seventy years of age. THE FUTUBE OF THE SOUTH.-Mr. Henry C. .Carey, of Philadelphia, the well known publi? cist and statistician, in a letter on the incom? parable endowments and advantages of the .South, says: "Seeing these things, and seeing, ?further, that its whole upland country presents -one of the most magnificent climates of the world, can it be doubted that the day is at hand when emigration to the South and Southwest must take the place now occupied by immigra? tion to the West, and when power is to pass from the poor sofia of the Northeast to those richer ones which now offer themselves in such vast abundance in the Centre, the South and -the Southwest ? As I think, it cannot." THE UNTVEBSITY OF SOUTH CABOLLNA.-The .catalogue of this institution for 1868 has been laid upon our table, and embraces the names of one hundred and thirteen candidates for , the usual college honors. The course of study , that has been adopted is in all respects equal . to that pursued in the best universities of the , country, and the professors are highly accom? plished in their several departments. Tho ? university library contains 25,000 volumes, be? sides which are the libraries belonging to the two literary societies-the Clariosophio and the Euphradian. The school of medicine, although new, pro- . mises to become a large and useful department .of the institution, and is under the charge of . gentlemen distinguished for their learning in the profession. The law school ia under the , ?direction of Professor A. C. Haskell. THE NATIONAL FREEDMAN'S SAVTNG3 AND TBUST COSTPANT.-We have received from Mr. i Nathan Ritter, the Cashier of the Charleston agency, the monthly statement of the Freed? man's Bank for February, by which it appears 1 that the deposits in Charleston are $20,200 39, |! and a gain during the year of $33,877. Int j Beaufort, South Carolina, which is the otherl branch office in South Carolina, the deposits have amounted to $35,097 62, but from various j causes the loss during the year has been $6,766 17. Both branches are in a flourishing ' condition, aud speak well for the thrifty habits of the freedmen, who are their main constitu? ents. The Freedman'e Bank has agencies in i -various portions of the Union, but those in t South Carolina show larger returns than i the head office, or any of the subordinate 1 .branches. <! i GOOD FEIDA?.- In thc Episcopal and Ca Churches to-day is observed by penitents vices-all of which refer to the great and scene on Calvary-nearly two thousand ago-when Christ expired on the eros, the Episcopal churches the day will b< brated in strict accordance with the An? ritual. Ia the Roman Catholic Church thc ce: nies attendant upon the observance of Friday are such as to inspire the beholdei feelings of awe and veneration. Tho s edifices, devoid of all ornamentation and < ed in sombre drapings, are filiad with the gy and laity, in attitudes of adoration raise aloud the solemn tones ot the Mn and the plaintive strains of the Siabat 1 In the Catholic churches of the city, the monies of unveiling the cross and adorati Christ crucified, will be duly camed out. unveiling is performed by the officiating gymen at each church, who, while recitini proper prayers, uncovers the crucifix, a po at a time; as each porti on is uncovered he ? the antiphon, "Ecce lignum Crucis" (b? the wood of the cross j: to which the assii clergy respond, "In quo salus mundi pro di!" (on which the salvation of the world suspended), when the choristers answer nile adoremus" (Come, let us adore). \ the crucifix is entirely uncovered, the cl and laity approach the altar, and after ha prostrated themselves three times, rever* kiss the feet of the crucifix. The latter tom of veneration is very old, and is praci in all parts of the world. The cross is v rated inasmuch as it serves to remind one cibly of the sacrifice of propitiation which offered on it by tho Redeemer. After this ( mony tho priest brings back from the re] tory the "host" which was blessed the daj fore; the candles are lighted, and the dec tions of the altar uncovered and replaced, the mass-called the mass of the pre-sanct -celebrated. The services of the day will be closed a yesterday, with the recitation of the offic TWieOrce.

At the Cathedral chapel the Repository prettily decorated, "and at the evening serv nearly all tte Catholic clergy in the city v present. At St. Paul's Church, Society-street, the < orations we::e particularly beautiful, and 1 fairly be said to have carried off the pa Around the arches which formed the Repos ry were twined wreaths of flowers-hundred bright flames in happy combination leaped i sparkled above and below them-baskets choice flowers hung from the arches and b gracefully b?fore the revered sr"*- around Sacrament was a ring of burning light, a above the whole, was a shining sun wh crowned the work of diligence and devoti The church was ojiened until ten P.

At St. Pi ter's (colored) Church, Wentworf street, the Repository was very handsome, a highly creditable to the zeal and energy of t congregation. This congregation has airea done much in decorating the church, and i appearance yesterday should encourage the to renewed efforts. THE INQUEST ON MAST MEEHAN, KrT.T.yp o THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD.-Corone Whiring has for the past two days been enga; ed in the investigation of the death of Mai Meehan, caused by the backing of the tra near Woolfe-street. A large number of witnes es were examined, and a verdict rendered cot pletely exonerating the officers of the railroa< Benjamin Elliott, colored, testified that c Monday afternoon, about half-past six o'cloe he was driving his cart through Woolie-stree when he heard the bell on the engine ringinj and he stopped for the train to pass by. Ti engine and train were passing very slow. Whi waiting he heard a person screaming undi the cars, and immediately jumped off his eau and tried to notify the engineer, but it was tc two minutes before the car was stopped, as o account of the noise of the bell the enginec could not hear. As soon as the cars were sto| ped, witness assisted in moving Mary Meeba from under the cars. Three cars had passe the spot when he heard the screiming. Dedrick Boden testified that he lived at th corner of the railroad track and Woolfe-streel and heard the screaming. He went to th spot, and saw the woman laying near th track, with three or four men alongside. H then went to the guardhouse and reported th facts to lieutenant Campbell, who asked hie to go for a doctor, which he did. Witnes stated that the officer having charge ot th road has always a man in front of the road, an< another in the rear, also a bell constantly ringing while they are shifting the cars. John J. Borden testified that he was a dis patcher of trains on the South Carolina Rail road, and always was at the spot when a tran was moving. There was always a man aheac of the train, and another in the rear, to notify the public of the approach of a train. The eu? gine used is a shifting engine, and has a large bell fixed on springs, which is rung whenevei the engine is in motion. Witness heard of the accident while in the discharge of his duties: and he farther stated that all precautions were used to prevent accidents. Sam Gibbes, colored, testified that he was working at the corner of Woolie and Meeting streets; heard the alarm and went to the track; the bell was ringing and until the train stopped; the woman was lying aB described, she having avidently attempted to pass under the cars. Nat Pinckney, colored, testified that he had long known deceased, and she was generally considered a person of unsound mind. J. P. Bland testified that on Monday last he was shifting cars as engineer on tbe South Carolina Railroad track. While in the per? formance of this duty he heard the words "hold on," or something to that effect; he im? mediately stopped the engine and sent his fireman to eee what was the matter; he report? ed a woman under the oars. Every precaution had been used. Mary Kenny, a nurieat the Hampstead Hos? pital, testified that the deceased said she at? tempted to cross the track by passing under tho cars, when the accident occurred. On hearing this testimony, the jury returned rt verdict that Mary Meehan came to her death by a careless exposure of herself while the train of cars on the South Carolina Railroad was in motion, in attempting to effect ber pas? sage between the cars. The jury further find .hat the officers of the said road had used all jroper precautions on said occasion to prevent in accident._ DELINC?JENT TAX-PAYEES.-These unfortu ?ates will do well to pay their taxes at once, ind to do so in the most economical way it viii be neccessary to lay in a store of Bills Receivable, which are now for sale by Huger t Ravenel. I. O. O. F. Our readers are too familiar with the mean? ing of the initials at tho bead of this article to need any explanation from us. The organiza? tion of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, as it now exists in this country, dates ita ori? gin from the institution of Washington Lodge, No. 1, of the City of Baltimore, on the 26th day of April, 1810, not quite fifty years ago. Since that time, its principles have spread so rapidly, that at the present period there is not a State or Territory of this vast Union where its members may not be found. These principles are the noblest that could en? gage the mind and heart of man-Friendship, Love and Truth-Friendship, in its fullest ex? tent, to his fellow man; Love, in its highest essence, to God, and the beneficent influences of Truth regulating his every action. The above date has been selected by the su? preme head of the Order-the Grand Lodge of the United States-as the anniversary, and we are pleased to learn that the Grand Lodge of this State, together with the subordinate Lodge s and Encampments, contemplate hav? ing a public celebration; but as the 26th falls on Sunday this year, they have selected Tues? day evening the 28th instant, at which time an address will be delivered by our esteemed fel? low-citizen, General Wilmot G. DeSausaure, Past Grand Sire of the Order, who is eminently fitted for the duty, and we anticipate a rich treat. The services will also be rendered more interesting by the addition of appropriate music. The Wentworth-street Lutheran Church has been kindly granted for the occa? sion, by the Vestry, and being in a central po? sition is weh adapted for the purpose. It may be interesting to our readers to give the ligures connected with the operations of the Order in the promotion of its object, and wo subjoin the following, from the "American Odd Fellow," a magazine published in New York, by P. G. M. John W. Orr, but which we perceive has a South Carolina column edited by the Grand Secretary of this jurisdiction : "The report of the doings of the fraternity for the year ending June 30th, 1867, in connec? tion with its former history, places the Order in the front rank of all benevolent institutions or organizations for the relief of suffering and distress incident to human life, and cannot fail to attract attention. . "Omitting, say twenty years, of the early his? tory of the Order, for which we can get no re? ports of accounts paid benevolent objects, indi? cated above, we condense the sums for various purposes up to the year 1867,and every one must confess that the 'Order of Odd Fellows' is an institution of active benevolence, surpassed by few other associations, if equalled by any in this country : Amount paid for relief of brothers.. $2,859,060.00 Amount for relief of widowed fami? lies. 494,308.39 From 1861 to 1867. 3,353,308.89 Same items previous years. 7,202,374.87 10,555,743.76 Education of orphans. 234,405.80 Burying the dead. 1,760,820.55 Total payments.12,550,970.11 "The total revenue of the Order during the earn j time has been tho large sum of $28,525, 587.96, showing a reserve now on hand of nearly $16,000,000! which is devoted to kindred purposes. Surely, while some cavil at the seemingly frivolous name of the Order, it must be properly named after all, for they certainly are 'Odd' Fellows, from the great bulk of sel? fish mankind, to zealously keep up an organi? zation so extended, and so unostentatiously dispense benevolence and charity for the relief of distress. Truly if " 'The drying up of a single tear has more " 'Of honest tame than shedding seas of gore,' and 'if a tree is known br its fruits,' the fra? ternity of Odd Fellows may claim an import? ant auxiliary place among the good of all creeds, for the ameliorating of human suffering and the elevation of man."_ THE Cm ELECTIONS.-The time is rapidly approaching when our citizens will be called upon to declare their choice for the men who are to fill the public offices. The time is al? ready at hand when it should be discussed, if not determined, what vital changes are neces? sary to enable us to keep step to the march of events. Progress is the order of the day. Much that is old is useless. Let it be cast aside. Much baa been done which, tested by experience, has proved to be a failure. Let such ordinances also be expunged from the record. Give us liberal institutions. Give us a system of taxes for local improvements that shall not compel the entire community to share the expenses that should be borne by a few. Give us a system of wharfage that will not drive trade from the port, or create mons? ter monopolies to the injury of our merchants. Abolish the tax on gross sales, so demoralizing to every business mau. Break up tbe rings that ?eek to control and be responsible for the sentiments of tho community. Give the young and energetic men of the day a chance to work. Put them in your high places, your offices of trust, and let us enjoy "thc benefit that ever accrues from a high order of practi? cal intelligence combined with the will and am? bition to no. What above all tbiugs is requir? ed by Charleston is a "shaking among thc dry bones." Until then, she will lag behind in the commercial race._ UKITED STATES COURT, APBIL 8-HON. GEO.

M. A Monster Speculation on Foot. THE FANCY JOBB EB S AX WOBE IN WASHINGTON POET BOYAL TO BECOME A- FINANCIAL G BAB BAG-A NEW SCHEUE FOE MAEING MONEY EASILY. Ioformation of a reliable character has been received here that the Finance Committee of the United States Senate have under consider? ation the subject of railroads in South Carolina; and that a proposition has been made by cer? tain speculators to build an au* line railroad from Port Royal to Aiken, thence to Ninety Six on the Greenville road, where connection is complete with the Blue Ridge Railroad to its present terminus at Walhalla. This proposi? tion is based upon the contingency that Con? gress shall grant a subsidy of fivo thousand dollars a mile to the Blue Ridge road for the purposes of construction-and the Senate com? mittee are now gravely considering the pro? priety of recommending this appropriation. Probably a wilder scheme was never laid be? fore a body of legislators, or a more unblush? ing attempt made to plunder the public treas? ury. What ls Port Royal? At best best a mere negro town in embryo, where a few shanties and sutler's shops have for the time being reared their ragged shapes, and served to diversify the dreary topography of the place. It is situated, however, at the head of a fine harbor, and this one fact has induced the speculator to believe that by properly bleeding the public, something may be accomplished for himself in particular, and somebody's rail? road in general. He has laid out the town into building lots ; and plans of the new city are no doubt in Wall-street, as well as Washington, but it is beyond all cavil that its chief settlers for the next ten years will be a poor colored population, who will not add one dollar to the material interests of the locality, or of the State. Again, if anybody will look at the map, it will be found that the route of the contempla? ted road will bring it into direct competition, on parallel lines, with the Savannah River and South Carolina Railroad. The country is bare and sparsely populated, and has not business enough to keep a line of omnibuses ali VJ, much less a railroad-so that the advantages of a through route would, in a pecuniary point of view, be onset by competition, small trade, and the expense of keeping up communica? tion. If Congress or anybody else seriously enter? tain the idea of an appropriation for the bene? fit of the Blue Ridge Railroad, let it be for the purpose of completing that important enter? prise. If they still have more money to spend, and will not run on the Greenville Road, let them build a line from Ninety-Six to the South Carolina Railroad, and then, by a nearly direct line, the stores of the Middlo States and the great West will be poured into tho lap of Charleston. The idea that Port Royal will be our Liver? pool, and Charleston a second London, is as fond aa it is foolish. This city of ours must be built up first, and then it will be time enough to talk of subsidized schemes whoso intention is immediate speculation and prospective plunder._ EXTEA MEETING or Cm COUNCIL.-Present, His Honor the Mayor; Aldermen Bavenel, Gerdts, Small, O'Neill, Steinmeyer, Olney Oakes, Marshall, Enston, Whilden and Cos? grove. The Mayor stated that, being absent at the last meeting, he had convened Council to bring to their attention certain matters that had been laid over.
