Our people would, therefore, do well to base no .false hopes on these returns. THE REPOSTED MUBDEB AT G ELLISON VTLLE. Some days age we published an account of the -alleged murder of two negroes, a man and his -wife, at Giihsonville, in Beaufort District.

Do YOU WISH TO VOTE FOB THE RESTOUATION OF CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT ? This is the last day of registration. THE EXTENSION OF THE CITY LIMITS.-The order of Major Corbin extending tho limits of Ward No. 8 to the Six Mile House produced some confusion, and did little good. It was intended to apply only to the Presidential Registration, as the law distinctly states that only those residing within the corporate limits of the city can vote at a municipal election. This fact was not generally understood, and the wording of the order added to the per? plexity. At Ward No. 8 the managers refused to allow any ono to register who lived between the city limits and th* Six Mile House, cast of Meeting-street. The manaeers of Ward No. 7 had received no instructions to extend their jurisdiction, and wero equally firm in their re? fusal. The negroes who lived on the forms on the east side of Meeting-street road were per? fectly bewildered, and passed from tho Marion Engine House to that in Columbus-street, and back again several times, vainly endeavoring to have their names handed to posterity as registered voters. Do YOU WISH TO VOTE LS THE LAST ELEC? TION FOB PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? This is the last day of registration. POLITICIAN REBUKED.-Yesterday, while the registration excitement was at fever heat at the Washington Engine House, an old country negro was seen walking along the opposite side of the street with a bundle on his back. One of the Radical negroes, who was malung himself very busy at tho poll, rushed ovar and accosted the old man, when tho following con? versation ensued : Radical.-"When you como to town ?" Country Negro.-"Jis come cross do ribber d?a m?nate." Radical.-"Well come ober here and vot:." Country Negro.-"Vote ? Wha dat?" Radical.-"Why votin will do great deal ob good one dese days. Jis you put down your bundle an come crosa here an vote. Won't tek you a minute." Country Negro.-(Looking at him very hard) "Oh, I kuow you now. Y"u one dem nigger doy jis lot out de penitcntium. You want me for put down my bundle, go cioss dere, den you steal my bundle. Wish could sec a police. I gib you to um; bab you lock up." Do YOU WISH TO VOTE AGAINST MONARCHY ? This is the last day of registration. THE RIOHT OF WAY.-A notice was servol on the South Carolina Railroad Company, through its agent at Aiken, a week or two ago, that a jury would be impanelled, under "the act to declare the manner in which tho lands, or the right of way over the lands, of persons or cor? porations may be taken," tor tho purpose of ascertaining what compensation should bo given the company for the right of way requir? ed at Orangeville by the Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company. On behalf of the South Carolina Railroad Company, a motion was made before Judge Platt to vacate the order for im? panelling the jury, for the reason that thirty day's notice that the said right of way was re? quired had not been given, as is provided for by the act referred to. Upon this fact being established, Judge Platt ordered tho order to be vacated, as prayed. The question of thc right of railroads and other corporations to take the lands of corpora? tions or individuals, aud the whole subject of the constitutionality of the act of the Legisla? ture upon this subject, will probably como un in the injunction case to bi argued before Judge Willard to-day. to which the South Car? olina Railroad is a party. Do YOU WISH TO VOTE AGAINST OPPRESSIVE TAXATION? This is the last day of registra? tion._ AN OUTRAGE-PRIVATE R?SIDENCES FIBED INTO.-On Saturday evening about dusk, the family residing at the northwest corner of George and Anson streets were alarmed by a sharp blow against the side of thc house, but on going to the door no one was visible. A few moments later while the different mem? bers were seated in the room, a bullet struck the wall just above the head of one of the ladies. No report was heard, but on exami? nation it appealed that it must have been pro? pelled by somo other agency than tho aim, as tho hole in the window pane was round, and the glast not fractured otherwise. Thc bullet, which was subsequently found, was flattened from the force with which it struck the wall. On Sunday evening, near the same hour, thc same occurrence took place ct Mrs. Kinloch's, No. 207 Meeting-street. In this case, however, the Lullet had not the same moment un, as the hole formed in the window glass was jsgged and the bullet wae not indented. No report was heard, but it was evident from tho nature of tlie hole that the shot was either fired ft om a level or an elevation. The Borne theory ib held in tho first instance, as a lot separated the house from Anson-strcet. The whole affair is shrouded in mystery, as no one can imagine why private houses should be fired into, and the absence of any report induces the belief that the bullets were sent either by an air gun, or by eomo instrument that gave the missile sufficient force to kill the person struck. DESECRATION OF- CEMETERIES.-An adver? tisement appears is this morning's paper offer? ing a roward for tho recovery of ~onio flowers and statuettes -stolen from a grave in St. Lawrence Cemetery. Picuic parties at Mag? nolia and the adjoining cemetery of St. Law? rence have been very frequent of bte, and tho persons indulging in them often behave with great impropriety, paying no regard to the sacredness of the place, or the feelings of ithers, anl sometimes, as in tho case above mentioned, not even to thc rights of pro? perty. _ THE MINSTRELS-Skiff & Gaylord's troupe of minstrels did not disappoiut the expectations of tho iarge audiouca that greeted thom on Iheir first appearance. Some performers rely solely on burnt cork and stale witicisms, but it tvas soon evident that this troupe were not of that clas-?. The fun was genuine and conta? gious, mirth ruled tho hour, and noue could listen to the jokes and dry sayings of th-o corne? lians without indulging in bursts of laughter. The clog danca was ini;:i:tiblo and one of tho best features of the entertainment. As this company have performed for ten years without any dissolution, and a pcrcion of thom have been members of the original Campbell's, they aro thoroughly acquainted with their d;ffereul roles and are unsurpassed by any troupe in tho country. The unpronounceable production of Professor Schaffnor gave universal satisfac? tion, but must be sean to be appreciated.? Tho troupe will perform during tho i emaindcr of the week, and only those ascetics who scorn to laugh should stay away. WITHDRAWAL OF COL. WM. PATTEN FROM THE CANVASS FOB THE MA?ORALT?.-The sub? joined card from Col. Wm. Patten, who was nominated for thc Mayoralty by the Demo? cracy last Bummer, an 1 who bas boen recently brought forward by some members of that party for the same position, will bo read with approval by every right-minded citizen. By his action iu this matter Col. Patten has given I the highest proof that thc confidc-ncc reposed I in him by his personal friends, and by the Democrats of this city, was not raiaplacod : I To the Citizens of Charleston : When at tho urgent solicitation of many rep? resentative gentlemen of this community I allowed my name to bb put in nomination tor the Mayoralty of tho city, it was done with thc earnest hope* that I might thereby render some benefit, in a season of peculiar trial surround? ing tho80 with whom my lot was cast. 1 concluded that tho fact of my having made pecuniary investments herc. Unking mo with the fortunes o? th i metropolis and State, with an availability assumed and pressed by my friends, and even those whose acquaintance was soddenly developed, were the prime causes of my selection, which not the slightest ma? noeuvring on my part had induced. I would have preferred, after tho complimen? tary tender of the nomination last summer, to have been permitted cratefully to retire, espe? cially as my private interests demanded my en? tire attention. After my nomination, events transpired which led me to conclude that the canvass had taken a different phase, in which I was unwilling to appear, entertaining as I did, and do now, the opinion thal tho suffrages of the community belong to those more gene? rally known and commercially identified with the city than myself. Subsequent changes brought me into notice again, and reluctantly I again subordinated my sense of propriety and of the public good to the wishes of ardent supporters, who still olaimed me as their stan? dard bearer. A division in the sentiments of the commu? nity, however, precludes my being so any longer. Believiug that division is defeat and harmony success, 1 approve of the course pur? sued, aud, with such promptings, bog that I may no longer be considered in tho oanvass. Permit me to Bay, if I am a new comer DO man, not excepting him to the manner born, has the progross and prosperity of the city more at heait than myself, and my earnest hope is that victory may crown tho banner of him who seeks to f urther its power and glory. Thanking my friends, acquaintances and supporters for their confidence and zeal. 1 am, Very respectfully, WM. PATTEN. THE GEBMAN DEMOCBATIC CLUB.-There was a full attendance of the members of this club, at their hall in King-street last night. It was expected that Prof. Herman Meier would ad? dress tho meeting, and in con?equence of the interest manifested in this gentleman, thc President postponed the usual routine of busi? ness, and introduced Prof. Meier to thc audi? ence. His speech was a masterly cfiort, and his voice, Style and impassioned eloquence proved him to bo a born orator. He spoke of the Vaterland, its past aud its present, its glo? ries and its shame, tho latter being tho oppres? sion of the working classes. He drew a paral? lel between the South and Germany for the last ten or twenty years, and paid a glowing tributo to South Carolina as the home of tho oppressed German. In inferring to thc futuro of the State, he said that the time would sure? ly come when with increased Gorman emigra? tion all her past prosperity would return. Prof. Meier was repeatedly applauded. At the conclusion of the speech Mr. A. J. Honman offered the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted, and the meeting adjourned : Whereas, Tho Central Democratic Club, at its meei mg and conference last Friday eve mug, resolved that it ts inexpedient tor the De? mocratic party nf Charleston to nominate mu? nicipal officrs; and whereas this action, in our opinion, renders it unnecessary to eoutione uar present organizaron: Therefore, be it 1. Resolved, That while we regret this action of the Central Democratic Club, and cannot give it our aasont, wo feel it our duty to sup? port, with all our influence, thc National and CongreEBicn.il Democratic nominations ii: tho election of the 3d of November. 2. liesotved, That in tho absenco of any re? gular Democratic nominations for thc muni? cipal election, oar members arc herewith au Eolved from their obligations to this Club, and are entirely at liberty to vote for any candidato they may deem proper. 3. Resolved, That our treasurer pay at onco all the debts of this Club, and fha' tho re? maining monies bo presented to the German Church. 4. Resolved, That wc herewith tender our thanks to tho officers of our Club for the faith? ful manner in which they discharecd their of? ficial duties, and that tho Club is hereby dis? solved. 5.

[COmi?MCATIOS.] CHARLESTON, S. C., October 2G, 18G8. George W. Clark, Esq.: SIB-Many of your fcllc w-citizens who feel a deep interest in the approaching municipal election, have been impressed with a belief that your character and abilities would make you a candidate tor thc office of Mayor who could command the support of those who have thc real and substantial interests of the city at heart. They believe that in thia election all who are not governed by personal, selfish considera? tions, will look, in the selection of candidates, only to the lidless ut the men selected for tho discharge ot the imjoitant tru-nrffimmitled to them. They believe that al! other interests in this caso should bc snbjrJtnate to the com? mon wollare, safctv and prosperity of our city. Believing that their views are in barmou.v with your own, your fr .cuds desire to afford you ail opportunity to ai ute, in a public man? ner, your views upon this subject and the gen? eral principles which would guide you if elected to that responsible position. T'Lov, therefore, request that you will statt) your views of the general policy which should (rcvern us in the management of our municipal affairs. You are aware, without formal statement Irom us, what arc tho tojiics which interest our community, and upon which your opinions would bc ot in? terest to us. Aa citizens your friends desire to pursue a just and liberal polier in municipal affairs, and to so compose the city government as to com? mand the respect of Vd good citizens, and to protect, dcvelopc and foster thc material in? terests of om- community. Your views of our duties as citizens of tho principal city of our ?state will, we believe, do much to remove the false impressions which prevail as to oui" desire to disregard every? thing except personal and political interests. Wo shall bo happy to receive from you a statement of the policy which you would adopt if your fellow-citizona should call you to dis? charge the duties of the office o! Mavor of this city. MANY CITIZENS. The Mayoralty. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. The Mayoralty election,?ti its present aspee!-, is a strong test both qf the political wisdom .andof the patriotic feelings of thc white peo? ple of Charleston. However humiliating may be an admission of weakness, it i J necessa?? in all reasoning :o commence with facrs in oid r to arrive nt a proper conclusion, and it is a fact with regard to this matter that any Democratic candidate would stand no chance at all against a Repub? lican. And, lost any otc should bc deceived by the belief that thc division of the Republi? cana upon two candidates might atfjrd an op? portunity for thc election of a Democrat, the additional fact must bc burne in mind, a fact rendered likely hy tho tit r ug organization of that party and substantiated beyond a doubt | by their pas. history and I y tho present dec?a- j rations of their leaders, that the matter will bc j brought at lust to tho tame bisis of an out and-out Republican against an oat-aud-out Democrat, uv the withdrawal of one of such candidatos. Moreover, it is also to be kept in mind that Hie present stalorf things is brought abjut fully as much hy Dem?crata as by Re? publicans," and as it is not at all likely that there of thc former party, who harorecog? nized in this political arrangement-approved, too, by the Central Executive Committee after full conference with ali (he Wards-thu only chance of electing a moderate man, will surrender this idea, so well based, and of which they are so fully convinced, it is certain tint no full Democratic vote will bc massed upon any candidate started hy irresponsible persons acting outside tho party. Tho Democratic candidate, therefore, whether started by thc party or by individuals, ia certain to be de? feated in any eise. Under these circum? stance* tho plain dictate of wisdom is, that each individual Democrat should cast his vote tur thc least objectionable candidate airead v in the field. Thc question for such an individual tu determine is net ahora he would absolutely prefer to see elected, but whom ho would pre? fer ot those candidates who actually stand a chance, under thc circumstances, of being elected. Thu balance of power now held by titi; Democrats will mummt to absolutely noth? ing, unless it is thus used. whi'c on the other haml, it ii is used in behalf of either ot such candidates, it will result certainly in sccurine his electior. And not only is this course dictated by wis? dom, bul by patriotism also. Thc interests of thc city aro at stake, and every m ,n is now called on tu determine whether he s-hail regard his own personal prejudices in this matter, or consult tor the gci.cral wel'are, even at ihc sacrifice, to sumo este it, of his own feelings. We wish that some uf these g ntlemon whoa e advocating thc support of a Democratic candi? date, notwithstanding tho certainty of his de? feat would ostiuiatu f )i* us thc value of thjt tair weather patriotism which is prepared only to act on the line of personal inclination and refuses persistently to make thc least Macrifi.cc of feeling in behalf*ot his city or his State. To conclude. Thc Democrat who casta nia voto for a candidate of hi8 own political belief, who ia started by irresponsible persona, and whoas election must be, under tho, circum- | stances, absolutely hopeless, is acting against bis party, for the Dcniociatio party, as an or? ganization, has declared, after careful consul? tation, that it is inexpedient to put up a candi? date Such a man i? also acting in favor of the most filtr?me candidate in the field, who might otherwise be beaten, for he is taking away strength from the least objectionable, wno.can r.ot otherwise be elected. And last of all, in obedience to his own blind, stubborn prejudi? ces, in the taco of all these facts and conside? rations, he is actina in hostility to the dearest intcrosts of his native city. Wc sincerely bope that each individual will carefully reflect upon tho matter, and remember that the highest and noblest performance of duty is that which con? flicts with the strongest inclination. AVA ILLILI LT. JBTJSI1VESS NOTICJEES. COFFEE, TEA SUGAR AND SPICES.-Messrs. C. D.
