UNITED STATES COURT-In consequence of
t_e continued indisposition of his Honor Judge
Ervin, no business was transacted yesterday.
OWNERS oi lots, enclosures, vaults and cel?
lars within the city limits should put their
premises in good order for the police inspec?
tion, of which timely warning is given in an?
other column.
THE FAIR of the congregation of St. Mark's
Church, now going on in Meeting-street, oppo?
site Pinckney-street, will, we are requested to
say, be opened at 3 o'clock this afternoon for
the especial accommodation of ladies, children
and others who cannot conveniently attend at
night._
BONNETS FOR MAT.-Bonnets have reached
their smallest dimensions, and now there is an
iiea of doing away with them altogother. On
the principle that extremes meet, the next
thing we may expect is a return to the prepos
t?rous head-gear of forty years ago-the tunnel
bonnets, which, it. was said, required a speak?
ing trumpet at one end to reach a womans ear
a: the other. The proposed substitute tor a
bonnet at present, however, is a lace coiffure.
The coiffure mandile, which has already made
fes appearance, is sometimes worn at the
opera, and will probably be worn largely at
?the inland watering-places, where bonnets, for
the purposes of the promenade, have always
been at a discount.
MAT OB'S COUBI.-The attendance yesterday
at this tribunal was slim, and the city derived
but Utile benefit from the proceedings.
A colored m m who was disorderly in the
Hope Engino House while cleaning the ma.
chine, was taken to task for his conduct, and
fined $10.
Au individual who got drunk and tried to
create a disturbance in a barber's shop, was
sent up for ninety days, to allow his beard to
have a foil growth.
The colored woman, who forgot the old adage
'.that children and fools should not play with
ed??d tools,'' and cut two men of ber own
color, was referred to a magistrate.
One unfortunate, who was found recumbent
on the sidewalk.was taken to the friendly shel?
ter of tho guardhouse, but in consideration of
his youth and innocence he was only charged
$3.
.SALE EXTRAORDINARY.-One of the most un?
usual sales of tho season will take place to-day
at Messrs. Badenhop & Co. 'a restaurant. The
pet bear of that establishment, long and favor?
ably known to the Meeting and Haync-street
fraternity, will be to-day put upon the tabie
and knocked down to the highest bidder.
''Cnffcc"ia one of the most intelligent ot tho
bruin species, and Messrs. Badenhop & Co.
only part with him because they have not suffi
S cicnt yard-room to accommodate him. The
sale is positive* but will be conducted with this
reservation, that the purchaser is to take the
same care of the bear that has been hereto?
fore extended to him. Coffee is as tame as a
Newfoundland dog, and is infinitely superior
to the canine species ia intelligence. His pre?
sent owners part with him with reluctance,
and trust that his new master will prove as
considerate towards him as they have in the
parir.
As the election closed to-day the prohibition
'-.eases, and those who aro inclined can have
an opportunity to wet their whistles and lunch
ou fish chowder, which has been prepared for
the occasion.
THE STEAMSHIP FALCON-HEB NEW CAPTAIN.
This successful and fast propeller ship, be?
longing to the Baltimore and Charleston
Steamship Line, has lately paesed under the
command of a young, capable, and firet rate
officer, a native Charleatonian, Captain Jessie
D. Horsey. In taking this responsibility
Captain Horsey brings to bear capacity, cool?
ness, and considerable experience as a master
of steam vessels. The' Falcon, which has
proved herself during tho past winter on tho
coast a staunch and reliable sea craft, will have
her good name folly sustained by her present
captain.
We are pleased to notice this appointment of
our townsman to a command in ?he Baltimore
Line, as the general disposition of the South to
tr ado largely with Baltimore is steadily in?
creasing; and the rapid growth of that city in
population, trade and] wealth, will keep up a
large and profitable *raf2c between the two
cities. Captain Heed, the former master of
the Falcon, bas taken charge of the steamship
Maryland, formerly. -HM' Coquette, an fl will
probably make somo trips on thia route-her
ultimate destination being on the route from
Baltimore to Galveston.
CURIOUS PROCEKDIHGS ON THE WILMINGTON
AND MANCHESTER RAILROAD.-?One o? the bond
holf.ers of the Wilmington ar l Manchester
Ka?road, a Mr. G. J. W. McCall, of Darling?
ton, recently resorted to a device for compel?
ling the settlornent of certain claims against
the road, which is not more tmiquo ihin it
v. uuld have proved startling to the travelling
community if he h|d succeeded. It appears
tu.Lt the company having failed to pay &urns
due on the first and second mortgages, suit
was commenced, judgment obtained, and a
receiver appointed. In accordance with the
judgment, SB we are informed, the sheriff pro?
ceeded to sell a house and lot in Timmonsville,
and four miles of the track between Florence
and the Manon line. On this track there was
also a snit pending in the Darlington Court,
brought by the landholders against the com?
pany, on an appear from the decision of the
assessors. The house and lot brought $300,
and the track netted the sum of $100, and the
sheriff sold, notwithstanding notice that, un?
der military orders No. 14, he had no right to
sell property unless it brought two-thirds of
its real value.
General W. W. Harllee, the solicitor of the
company, being apprised of these proceed?
ings, came at once to Charleston, and on lay?
ing the matter before General Canby, that
officer promptly interfered for the protection
of the road and the interests of the traveling
public. It is said that some of the bondhold?
ers threaten io tear up the track if the inter?
est is not paid.
TEE ELECTION.-SO quietly has the electi
progressed and terminated, that but for I

GRATIFYING SUCCESS OF THE CO-OPEBATTV
S TOBE-THE FTBST QUARTERLY. REPORT OF TI
TREASURER.
I We take pleasure in laying before our reai
ers the first results of the Palmetto Pione
Co-operative Association, and invite a caret'
perusal of the report subjoined. It will I
seen that within, a very brief period the ass;
ciation has doubled its members, that its bus
ness has been eminently prosperous, and thl
what was an experiment has become a prac tia
and completo success. To those who. from tb
beginning, have labored so faithfully to sen
the workingman, by aiding him to economise i
his expenses, to the men whose energy, pat
ence and enterprise have accomplished s
much, be all the honor and praise.
Now that the Pioneer store may be considei
ed as established on a sure basis, we hope t
see stores of the same general character, an
equally well managed as to details, springing
up in other sections of our city.
The treasurers first quarterly report is a
follows:
CHARLESTON. April 13, lS'JS.
? To the President, Board of Directora an
Stockholders of the Palmetto Pioneer Co
i operative Association :
GENTLEMEN-I have tho honor to presen
herewith my quarterly report of the conditio
of our ?naneen, to which is appended whateve
detailed statements pertain to the office. Pei
mit me to congratulate the Association witl
reference to the great progress which ha
marked its career, and which has culminate
in such partial realization of our hopes, as fm
nish a sufficient earnest of our future complet
success. The difficulties which orduiarilV at
tend the origin of eve ry novel adventure hav
not been unfelt in our case, and, together wit!
a mistrust (apparently natural, at least uaur.i
to such schemes), have impeded in great meas
ure our moie rapid advance. Tbat we hav
! been at all able to organize businees, unde
such unpropitious circumstances, is certain!
an occasion ot satisfaction to gentlemen whosi
interests are pledged to still further develop
ments. I will obecrve that wc have not taila
to appreciate thc zeal with which our friends o
THE DAILY NEWS have continued to advocate
our movements; in such gratuitous eruppor
and counsel it bas pleased us to discover tha
watchful care for the wants of a community s<
inseparable io a spirit of progress, and whicl
should ever characterize the true journalist
We flatter ourselves that the public is nov
thoroughly awakened to thc many and grea
advantages accruing from our society. Tha
euch is the fact is attested by continual addi
tions to our roll of stockholders. lu this con
nection, I will remark that the increase durin;
thc interval of tho pas: month has been jus!
one hundred per cent., for while on Ilarch Isl
our number was limited to seventy -five, we nov
claim the representation of one "hundred anc
fifty separate families, the patronage of whose
several households we may safely rely upon.
Now that tho practical working of our enter?
prise has been demonstrated beyond question,
we may reasonably count upon still further ac?
cessions, until the hunt of our charter (five
hundred ehares) is attained. For particulars
of our status and the operations ot the store, 1
refer you to i he auuexed exhibits, which foi
convenience I have duly numbered. An ex
I amiuation of our hst ot creditors will show the
names of several wholesale firms iu our midst;
indeed oui* policy, as I take it, will he to har?
monize our interests as far as practicable with
a patronage of Charleston merchants. Our
transactions during tho short period (three
weeks) of the existence of our store, reach as
high as $8500, a flattering result. "Necessity
knows no law," but that "necessity" is, also,
"the mo:her of invention," is a condition more
certainly realized, at least more salutary in
its effects than that bitter extremity which re?
cognizes "no law" as its watchword; and in tho
very despair-which it generates, overthrows at
once the bulwarks of society and good order.
In a political sense, "co-operation" is the child
of necessity, but attributes her present liberal
extension to the prompt recognition which it
has elicited from political economy itself-a
powerful authority which assumes to regulate
the affairs of men, and permeates every suc?
cessful commercial scheme. Wc have been
called upor *o consider no new principle-nor
is there even a modification of the fundamen?
tal idea, "division of labor," but rather a novel
application of the old adage, "what is difficult
or impossible for 'one is easy for three." A
prominent feature of our present refined civili?
zation is the encouragement it affords diversi?
fied industry, while at the same time it insists
upon unity of capital, inasmuch aa that which
tends io consolidate isolated capitals and indi?
vidual energies, cannot be other than a power?
ful lever by which to elevate thc State and pro?
mote comfort.
I am led to acknowledge the extent to which
I stand indebted to the judgment and kind co?
operation of Messrs. Thomas, Ferguson, Stone,
Black Callahan of thc Board of Management,
as well as Mr. W. H. Welch, our efficient super?
intendent of store; and I select this method of
totting forth my thanks for their assistance
lent in perfecting as well as facilitating th. dis?
charge of my duties as treasurer.
Recapitulating, the-n. the results of oar his?
tory up to this point-with a daily increasing
membership-with the possession of assets
safely in excess of our liabilities-with a busi?
ness extending at an accelerated speed-I sub?
mit whether we are over sanguine in asserting
for our association a career replete with suc?
cess and future usefulness.
Kesnectfullv,
JAMES J. GRACE.
Treasurer.
As INCIDENT OF THE THIES.-The Florence
Gazette gives the following account of a "sale,"
by the gherin", of Mr. J. H. Husband's shops
in that place:
Colonel R. A. Rouse, the magistrate of this
place, acting on this occasion as the sheriff's
deputy, in accordance with law and his in?
structions, exhibited thc articles, and offered
them for sale, stating their value, utility &c,
as is usual. Here's the style : Gentlemen,
what is bidfor the safe ? [Long mum]
Start it at something. Shall I say $30 ? $20?
$10 ? $5 ? $1? Start it at something.'gentlemeu!
Mum's the word, eave that exclamations
might be heard like the above of "Who'd sell
a man ont in these kind of times ? Who'd buy
him outl"
Finding no bid. Colonel Rouse pasied from
one thing to another, iu about the same
routine as above. While discharging duty, he
did not appear angry that no one would buy a
man out in such times. Some of the crowd
jokingly and pleasantly, after the sale was over,
told him to multiply nothing by nothing and
find his commission.

?sa general thing the above bonds were
bought by the givers; the depositors only tak?
ing care that the price* should bo run up to a
reasonable figure, so that their own interests
in the final settlement of the institution should
be proteoted. Friends of parties whoso val?
uable property waa liable to fall into the hands
of speculators, were also present to protect
them from loss. Thc best evidence of the
character of thc securities is that although the
bonds were given before the war, their value
greatly exceeds that of the public securities
sold.
ft There waa also eold a lot of land, in the city,
containing in front on the west side of Meet
ing-Btreet, twenty-eight feet two inches, on the
back lino twenty feet one inch, and in depth
one hundred and sixty-nine feet, bounding tD
the southward on a lot of Edward North ; to
the northward on a lot of George Reynolds;
and to the eastward on Meeting-street. The
purchaser was Mr. P. J. Coogan. Price $3000.
It is estimated by observers, that the hand?
some prices realized will enable the institu?
tion to pay perhaps fifty per cent., instead of
thirty-three, or thirty-five, aa was anticipated
before ?he sale took place.
lt should be stated that the brokers and
moneyed men of the city refused to compete in
the parchase of these securities, except when
representing parties immediately interested in
the bond. The kind feeling exhibited in this
matter may be illustrated by the statement
that when the bonds of Dr. E. Geddings were
put up, not a man could be found to bid against
him, and he purchased his bond at his own
price. The same remark may be made with
reference to several others,
i The church bonds did not faro so well, as
they were run up by competition to a large
figure.
