A bill now . 'before the "scalawag" Legislature proposes to .--ros train Parker from keeping any money in J bia possession and from drawing any money | without the warrant of tbe Comptroller and j - Governor.

Meitzler will hare his pay reduced from $55 per month to 52.1, - and Roberts, the colored new-comer, will re . ceive $80. Another colored man, named Hollo? way, has also been appointed on the force, and will probably fill the position of gatekeeper. Meitzler, the old orderly of the Mayor, ia also an old policeman and an ex-soldier and ser? geant of the Prussian army. Since the end of the war he bas occupied the position which is now to be filled by himself and Roberts jointly. A Nsw QUOTATION-BONDSMEN ABOVE PAB. Mt bas been the usual practice to give the fluc? tuations in the mo tey market on Friday, but recent events hava caused a slight change in - dome of the quotations. Stocks and bonds iiave always been noted, but it is left to the -latter day of Radical regeneration to add "bondsmen" to the list. These were deci? dedly in request yesterday, and tho market waa decidedly bare. The "grey tackey" of E. W. M. Mackey waa the embodiment of per? petual motion, but the new Sheriff could not seduce bia acquaintances to subscribe their names to his little document. Bondsmen were - decidedly at a premium, and those few who indulged in a chirographies! display, will And to their sorrow that the bonds are endorsed r-riutla bonna. DEMOCRATIC GLOB, WABD 5-Tho Demo? cratic club of thia wardPmet last night at the Eagle Engine House, and the organization was completed by the unanimous choice of the fol . lowing officers: S. Y. TUPPER. President. ARCHIBALD <A.MEKoN, ) OTTO TTEDEMAN, > vice-Presidents. C CA^SIDEY ) WM. SiEADMAN, Recording-Secretary. ?? M. BURDELL, Corresponding Secretary. Z. B. OAKES, Treasurer. The president acknowledged the compli? ment paid him in a graceful manner, and urg? ed upon the club to be thoroughly organized, and to unite among themselves for the great cause which bad infused such spirit into the Democratic party. Monday night was appointed for the weekly meeting of the club, and, on motion, it was adjourned. DEMOCRATIC MEETING To-NIGHT-AN AD? DRESS BX JUDGE ALDRICH.-At the meeting ot the Democratic Club of Uria ward, held last night at the Washington Engine House, Dr. Aldrich, the vice-president was called to the chair, and, after some informal business, the following resolutions were adopted : Resolved, That this club do invite the Hon. A. P. Aldrich to address tneru on Tuesday eve? ning, at eight o'clock, at such a place as may hereafter be selected, and that a committee of three be appointed to wait upon him for this parp?se. Besomed, That the Hon. Alfred Huger be invited to preside at this meeting, and that the presidents of the Democratic Clubs be in? vited to act as vice-presidents. Beac *>ed, That this club cordially invite our sister clubs of this city to unite with ns upon this occasion, and that their presidents and vice-presidents be invited to occupy seats upon the speaker's stand. Resolved, That a committee of ten be ap? pointed to make all necessary arrangements for the occasion, and that the committee be in? structed to invite other gentlemen to address the meeting. The committee who were appointed to wait on the Hon. A. P. Aldrich, reported that he had accepted the invitation, and that the meet? ing would be held in the vacant lot at the cor? ner of Coming and Warren streets, on Tuesday night at eight o'clock. The meeting will be held this evening, in ac? cordance with the resolution. The Club will meet at the Washiagton Engine House at seven o'clock, and a large attendance of the Democrats of the different wirda is expected and invited. E. W. M. MACKEY, THE SHERIFF ELECT, AND HIS BONDSMEN.-The new Board of County Commissioners were ready for business yester? day, and McGregor Mackey.made up, after many trials, bis list of sureties. As we have before stated, the amount of bond now required of the Sheriff of Charleston is $50,000; bat if the new bill reducing the bonds of public offi? cers pass the Legislature, only $25,000 will be necessary. For the $50,000 or the $25,000, as, the case may be, Mackey proposes to give the following bondsmen: 1. A. G. Mackey, the father of the expectant Sheriff, and Collector of the Port of Charles? ton. He was one of the bondsmen of Parker, the new State Treasurer, and in that capacity was rejected by Governor Scott. His post is worth six thousand or seven thousand dollars a year, but he has a large family, has lived high, and has spant a great deal of money in entertaining negroes and laying wires for the United States senatorship, which he did not obtain. He has lately mortgaged a house, his only property, to raise a few hundred dol? lars. 2. W. N. Hughes. This person bas lived in Charleston for mans* years, and was a derk in the Tax Collector's office daring the war. A few months ago he was appointed City Assessor, and is in receipt of a yearly pay of about fif? teen hundred dollars. He has no property. 3. C..Geraghty. This person is the proprie? tor of Geraghty'a City Express, consisting of a one horse spring wagon, which is driven by himself. L R. H. Hearney. This is a colored man who, in tho " good old days,'' had some prop? erty, bnt has now against bim unsatisfied exe? cutions amounting to over $9000. 5. Brind Beils. This man keeps a small gro? cery shop in Beaufain-atreet, and has been a thorough' Radical of late. The value of bis puaeerty is not Known, bat it cannot be great. 6. David Barrow. This person is one of the appraisers in the customhouse. His dwelling house is understood to be encuenberei, and he has BO resources bat bis pay, which is very small. These are the half dozen bondsmen to be offered by Mackey to the Board of County Commissioners, which consists of F. C. Miller (white), for many years a dry goods clerk, and worth - nothing; McLaughlin (white), worth ditto, and E. P. Wall, a colored man, who pays taxes on fifteen hundred dollars of real estate. UNIT??

The court continued to hear the tes? timony in this case until the hour of adjourn? ment. I WHAT MACKEY IS TO DO. - The Colombia cor? respondent of the New York Herald saya : , "The defeat of Dr. A. G. Mackey in the late senatorial contest, by the coalition of the Northern adventurers and Democrats in the Legislature, has raised a strong spirit of oppo? sition among the native colored members against all 'carpet-baggers.' They have re? solved to support no one for office but a native of the State, white or colored. With this view they have already nominated a native colored man as a candidate fox Congress at the fall elections, in oppositiorrtb. Mr. Whittemore, a Massachusetts man. Dr- Mackey, who is ex? pected by his friends to stump the State for Grant and Colfax, will also, it is believed, be a supporter of this movement. The Democrats are making big capital oat of the defeat of Mackey's party, and, though in a very small minority, feel confident of carrying through most of their measures this session. They do not recognize the legality of the Reconstruct? ion acts, but have taken their seats in what they deem jin unlawful body simply to check such measures as they think tit to oppose.-' THE RADICAL CAUCUS.-Pursuant to a call issued by the Radical party, a large and dusky audience met at the Club House last night. Every available inch of space wae occupied, and the speakers were scarcely allowed room for their elocutionary gestures. The lion of the evening was the colored senator, Par? son Cain. He went into a violent harangue on the necessity for a speedy municipal elec? tion, but averred himself to bo no "Pillsbury man." This was distasteful, as the gathering was in honor of that self sacrificing carpet? bagger. Fortunately for Pillsbury bis fugleman, the quondam apothecary, iL H. Colline, was on baud, and his rich brogue was soon heard. Cain yielded to the pressure, and Collins di? lated on Pillsbury, until the crowd groaned him down. His invectives against recreants scared the immaculate Parson Cain, who as soon as he could recover his voice and bis vantage, gave in bis solemn adhesion to Pillsbury, and urged a speedy election. This was like oil on the troubled waters, and the meeting subsided into some pretensions to sobriety, bat the un? earthly yells were occasionally heard, and night was made hideous until a late hour. THE Crrr POLICE.-We presume that to-night/ the City Council will take np the majority and minority reporta, for the"'reduction of the city police force. Our views in regard to the t >vo reporta and the accompanying bill have been aiready explained at length, but we desire again to call attention to chose things which are indispensable to the efficiency of the police, and the consequent security of tin city. I The police cannot be efficient unless they are a body of men regularly employed, and who 1 have no other occupation. In the majority bill, provision ie made for twenty-five night and day, or regalar policemen, and fifty police? men for night duty alone. .This would break ap the whole organization and impair ita dis? cipline, while the night police, at $25 per month, would be more often asleep in door? ways than awake in the streetd. This clause is a fatal objection to the majority bill. The minority bill, which allows sixty regular police? men, does not cut as deep as it may be neces? sary to go if our financial embarrassments con? tinue., bat it has the great merit of being brief and plain, while it will give na a thoroughly good police force, although not as numer?os as under other circumstances it should be. Then, again, the majority bill does away with the detective force, a measure which would be objected to by every man who bas intelligence enough to know the importance of having a de? tective force complete in itself, and not made up of green men taken from the ranks of tfie police. We still think that it will ba wise to make greater reductions than are contemplated in the minority bill, which does save about $35,000! bat if the choice is to be made between the two bills aa they stand, or with minor amendments, we do not hesitate to say that the minority bill will be found the more simple, the more thorough, the more prudent, and the more safe. Communication. CHARLESTON. S. C., July 28, 1868. Sir : Civil authority appears to be restored, auperceding that power from which yon derived your appointment as Sheriff of Charleston Dis? trict. I was removed from that office by the mili? tary acd forced to give place to yourself, and I yielded to a power which it waa impossible to resist. ' By the provisions of the law under which I held the office of Sheriff, my term continued until the election of a successor by the people. The military interposition which removed me from the active discharge of the duties of the office, could not put an end to my official exis? tence. Your possession and enjoyment of the office, originating in military force, .necessarily terminates with the authority which called it into being. In contemplation of law no sue. cessor to myself bas ever existed. Your occu? pation of tho office bas all along been in dero? gation of my legal rights-and, of course, sub jeot to all the claims that properly attach to me os the legally elected functionary, and of which I have been divested by your assump? tion of the office. The profits and emoluments of an office, which constitute the rewards which a people see fit to bestow upon a candidate of then choice, have been enjoyed by you without ref? erence to the wishes of that people, and solely by virtue of military dictation, enforced at the point of thc bayonet. These rewards were never, in fact, conferred on you, either by the people for services rendered to them, or by tho government as a recognition of your merit. The purpose intended by my removal waa cot so much to reward you (as you so well de? served), for your amiable flexibility, and the unselfish accommodation of yourself to cir? cumstances, as it was to punish me for my po? litical transgressions and my less facile dispo? sition. The peoplo did bestow these rewards upon me, for reasons, no doubt, satisfactory to them? selves. It was their gift to me, and, there? fore, in their behalf, as well aa in my own, I assert the right derived from them, to all the benefits which the office waa designed to con? fer on me, and I lay claim to all the income which has accrued since my ejection. You were not appointed toan office which was with? out an incumbent. I will not say that you sought to tum me out in order to get my place, but you willingly consented to become the in? strument by which I was deprived of an in? come, to which I was entitled until a successor was elected, and appropriated to yourself the benefits of an office which properly belonged to me, and this, too, after a volsntarv and gratuitous proffer of your owa services to retain mo in the place. In a majority of cases, the incumbents of offices were allowed to continue until successors were elected-few of our own people being found who would accept places which were unjustly wrested, by military au? thority, from their fellow-citizens already stricken down by the calamities of war. I give you thia formal notice of your respon? sibility, not because you are unawaro of the questionable tenure by which you hold the office, for that has been repeatedly brought to your notice, both in and ont of the.courts; but be? cause being about to vacate the office, you ore supposed to be arranging and finally closing ap all the affairs connected with your adminis? tration of the sberiffalty. Whenever in my judgment the proper time shall have arrived for the adjudication of my rights, I shall take the necessary steps for their enforcement. Respectfully, JNO. E. CAREW, Sheriff C. D.
