Proceedings of the Board of Aldermen. TENTH DAY-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 18C8. [REPORTED OFFICIALLY FOR THE SEWS.] The Board met at eleven o'clock A. M., pur? suant to adjournment. Preseut-Tho Mayor; Aldermen Geddings Potter, Cunningham, Moore, Dcrecf, Wall, Olney, Honour, Whilden, Voigt, Howard, Mc? Kinlay and Marshall-thirteen members. The journal of the previous day's session was read and approved. The Mayor announced tho board ready to hear the argument. Mr. Barker, for protestants, said he omitted to mention, in thc course of his argument on Wednesday, the authorities -upon which it was based, and desired to do so now. He stated first that the general law was, by protestants, rogarded as unrevealed, except as modified by the act of 13G8; and ho then cited the act ol 1831, G stat., 442, 2 section, et seq.; 6th section ot' thc sanie act, requiring residen! B to vote in the ward in which they reside; A. A. 1851, 12 stilt. 133, enacting the duty of tho managers to meet as a board; Bollinger's Com? pilation, 333, which cites, 1 Bay, 487; Schnierle's case, 5 Bich. 300, and the caso of Tilman & Watson. He cited, also, th 3 resolutions of thc Assem? bly on thc subject of election, and I he charter of 'he city an t amendments thereto, particu? larly A. A. 1836, which provides that no amend? ments shall bs made unless the substanco bo published in a gazette tor thirty days provioua. Gushing, section 181, p. 67, et sequitur-as to how tar the neglect or misconception of duty on the part of managers will render the elec? tion void. Mr. Chamberlain then proceeded to the ar? gument on behalt of the claimants. He was very happy to see the prospect of thia long in? vestigation being brought to a close, and that the community, who have been impatient spec? tators, would be relieved of their anxiety and suspense. Council was sitting here, said he, to determine what are the law and the facts, and noon them to come to a conclusion. This, he said, was a general protest, and the law knows nothing of genoral pro testsagainst elec? tions, although the books are full of contests. This proceeding, therefore, he regarded as ir? regular. In order to bring up the case it should have been declared that some persons have been elected as Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Charleston. This is a protest against nobody's claim. It is a portion of a community asking you to declaro that nobody has been elected. And for this we have no p'c cedent. The first objection we make is that we have no case here-no parties. My con ceotion of a contest involves the existence of two parties, and I feel that if tho board takes the most simple view of tho mat? ter they would arrive at the conclusion that there really bad been no issue presented in this case. The counsel asked that the board consider this proposition : That whatever irregulari? ties there might have beon. they had no power to declare that thero had been no valid elec? tion. Their power only enables them to de? clare which of the two candidate? bad received (he largest number of votes. (Cited A. A., 1868, which he said gave them power to "de? clare the election.") Tho caunsol on the other side, said he, ask now to declare nobody elected, when tho law distinctly savs you can only ''declare tho election." To declare, means simpjy, when you have investigated the case, to declare who has boen eloctod. We are willing, however, to waive the objection, and for argument sake to say that you have the po-?er to set aside aud avoid the election.. Granting this, wo contend that nothing hos been presented which will warrant you in avoiding this election. Mr. Chamberlaincoutended tint thc ques? tions of bribery, corruption and intimidation are outside of tho issue, because it was dis? tinctly understood by the board that they would hear no evidence at this stage of the proceedings but such as referred to tho con? duct ot tue Board of Managers. Any other evideuce is not now to bc considered. Tho board simply know that thoro are certain i c turns to be decided on, and he asked them to confine their thoughts to that which had buen agreed on. The managers, ho said, were ta? ken up as tho general election left'thom and made the managers of the city eleciious. Every manager has stated here, under oath, that lie considered himself under oath during the whole period, and, thorelore, no substan? tial irregularities arose out of the way i:i which they were sworn. The counsel then argued that it was not thc intention of the law that tho nianagors should act as a single board, bul that th?y should do as they did-make returns as separate and in? dependent wards, and cited, in rapport of it, section 2, A. A. 1808, iu rotation lo tho ap? pointment cf commissioners of elections. He contended that, it it h\d been understood tint there should have been but ono general board, the language of the law would have mote plainly indicated it. They are appointed by hoards of throo for each precinct. lu the con? duct of tho registration and elidion, no referenco was had to any other board; tao managers ol one ward.could not kuow of thc validity or invalidity of tho proceedings in another; nor could "they coitify as to there turns ot wards other than th-.i.s. Each ward of three was, therefore, intended by tho act to decide in contested cases in their precincts. We have, then, fourteen returns, and what? ever might have been the intention of the law on tbnt point, even if it had said that ono re? turn should have beon made to the Mayor, yet if these fourteen returns aro correct, the in? formality docs not invalidate the election. Yon must ascertain, not whether these returns are separate, or all in one, but whether they are the real correct returns of the election. Tho position claimants desired to take was this : That the simple quezon before the board is, has there been a good and substantial election? Are the returns substantially correct? And if they examine the question they would find that courts of justice confine themselves not so much to the letter as to the spirit of tho law. He was willing, therefore, to rest the whole caso upon the general question, whether the evidence does not show that tuere has been a good and substantial election on the tenth day of Novombcr. He contended that tdl the managers swore that the returns were correct, and ii they had not been previously sworn, this swearing would cure the defects, because tho evidence of the leading witnesses is better than all the legal formalities. He then advanced to the most important infoimality in tho issue, viz: the fact that it had been proved that vory many of the voters who were registered were not sworn previous to registration. This, he contended, was not a formality which, if not complied with, would vitiate the election. They must look after the substanco, said he, not the sha? dow. Thc managers testified that in every I case where there was a doubt the person who offered to register was sworn. The object of registration was professedly to secure a irce expression of opinion, aud admitting that tho provisions of the statute were not conformed to, it was for the contestants to prove that a single man bad registered who was not enti? tled to do so. They must prove substantial injustice; they havo not done so. They must prove that because the oath was not exactod somebodv registered who would not have dono so had it"bo?n exacted. It was not important theretore, on the general principle he had laid down, that the oath should have been admin? istered to every applicant. But, said he, we have a more completo ob? jection. We contend that no one bad a right to require the prescribed oath of a singlo man who presented himself. It is unconstitutional and void; an oath which no power in South Carolina has tho legal right lo require of a voter; an oath which, if it kept a single voter from registering, did him an injustice, a wrong. He hero cited the section of the con? stitution prohibiting the General Assembly from passing laws which shall deprive anv one of his right to vote, and read thc oath re? quired of voters at the recent election. The Constitution, he argued, gave tho right to to every male citizen of the age ot twenty years, who was an inhabitant of the Stat the time of tho adoption of the constitu? and tho oath required them to swear that I had been residents of the State for ono preceding the 10th of November; and it w fortunate thins for the validity of the elecl he continued, that it was not exacted in e instance. If an informality had been c nutted, it was a fortunate informality w saved the infraction of the substance of law. The counsel then said ho had admitted the sake of argument, that informalities isted, and that the board had the power to aside the election if they thought proper, the real question is, shall the man who received a majority of legal votes bo Maj Shall law, principio or prejudice prevail ? made this claim. By tho evidence presen one of two candidates has received a maje ot the legal votes cast, and he asked thom i to install that candidato in the positioi which the law entitles him. The evid( showed that although the election was atti ed with informalities, those informalities not in a single instance violate the spiri the law. Counsel cited in support of the general ^ of having regard to t he substance of thc turns, rushing, sec. 1C8, p. Ci, where is down the proposition, that if tho rot urn good in substanco, it will not bo impeachod want of formalities; and ho contended t even it none of tho managers had been sw< yet if they carno np here and swore to tho i rectucss of thc returns, tho defect was cm Tho cases cited in dishing ho contonded m than covered thc case of the claimants; tl were only called upon to substantial tho 1 that there was a good election, and noth had vet been developed which touched substance of tho election. He believed it tc the duty of thc board to simply make up th minds upon the evidence beforo them, a* which of tho two candidates received I greatest number of the voles casi ; ho don their right to declare that tbero had been o'ectiou, bat if they assumed the power, tl had not sufficient evidence to warrant them doing so; lie believed his clients entitled t pnma.fade declaration of their election, a tbat having been made, tho election could contested; but until that declaration had be made, Ibero was no other step for the board take. In conclusion, counsel asked tho boa upon the law and the evidence, to forbear declare there was no election, but to declt who was elected at tho good and substant election held on the 10th of Novembor. At the conclusion of Mr. Chamberlain's arj ment, the board, on motion of Alderman WL don, took a recess ot fifteen minutos. At thc reassembling of the board, the arg mont foi* tho claimants was resumed. Mr. Corbin arose and said it was not his i tontiou to detain the board any great leug of time, inasmuch as his associate had so w submitted the case to their consideration. J would only claim their attention to a fi points inadvertently omitted by his pre?ece sor. It was not his intention to weary the by any elaborate exposition of the law, b bring his points to their mind in as nnprelea ing a manner m possible. He thought the board had consumed a gre portion of valuable time m useless discusio and had groped their way into an inexcricab labyrinth. If they had been endeavoring to a certain whether Mr. Lesesne or Mr. Pnlsbu was elected Mayor of Charleston they cou hope to arrive at some result, but there h been a useless wasto of time in the consider tion of a question enhroly beyond their juri diction-a question which thc courts of justi alone could decide. Tho olection ohould ha been declared, and, beforo that was done, tl case was entirely boyond their control. I looked upon tho*advancement of this prote as actuated only by motives of chagrin ai disappointment caused by tho dctcat of tl protestant's candidate. HP could uuderstat; bow thc board might bc influenced by the lor array ot highly respected uamcs ultacliod i that paper, and considered it important io loc into this matter, but iu doing .so they have in followed any legal prccedont. He then allude to thc fact that it was a point assumed by o\ posing counsel that tho managers wore not a sworn according to the manner prescribed b tho law, but he would call attention to the oi dinary mann jr of administering oaths, by whic tho party was merely requited to s gu and gi\ an afirmativo auswar to the question, ' Do yo swear ?" And there were many casca in whic managers wero so sworn. He then made legal referenco to show that was not necessary for every manager to qualil'i that when authority is granted to threo u more persons it shall be constmed as giviu such authority to a majority, so ihat if tw managers alone wore qualified, it docs not A foot thc validity of the proceedings of th board. A groat stress was kid UDOD the fact UH soino books belonging to Ward 7 wero destroy ed, but tho law decides that irregularities wi not invalidate the proceedings when there is good and substantial election. Aid, at th samo tiuio, as thero was no explicit instruc tiotis as to the presorvation of their ballots an records, they could not have been oxpsctcd t have done so; they acted in tho most naturi mauuer, as overy ono under similar circum stances would havo done, lie next refcrrea t the point as to whoso du'y it was to aggregat thc entire votes. When ? power is granted t auy man, or set of mon, all the incidoutal powe is necessarily included, aud though thero is ni cxpross injunction that tho Mayor should ag gregate the votes, bo is commanded to declar which of tho candidates has received a majority and i.i order to do so it is necessary for him t< sum np the figures returned by the manaeoit Aud in his construction of tho law tho Mayo should have done so beforo Council bad a righ to consider this case. Mr. Corbiu then urged upon the board tb necessity of carrying out the spirit of the lui in tho consideration ot tins qus tion; and i the managers of ibo late election baw acted ii the bjat of their ability, and ii ive aoooiuuiish cd :i good, tubslautial "result, tho ends of lat! wen accomplished, aud the hale irrcgularitiei that may have taken paco can have no efiOci upon tho final result. Thc next point, considered was. thero noi being any polling placo in Ward No. 8, wbicl opposing counsel bad regarded as an in? fringement of the statutes regulating iu Municipal elcctiou. His construction oi thc section of thc act bearing upon this point was it was not necessary for tho polling precinct tc be in the particular ward, but that ono or more precincts should bo designated for each ward; that it was at first contemplated, and would havo been perfectly admissible, to locate all the precincts in ouo portion of tho city, designating one or more for each ward. He then alluded to bis connection with the Municipal election, m reply to the assertions of the counsel of the protestants, as to his be? ing tho great source of enlightenment lor the managors, independently ot tho law, and brought to the memory ot the board tho testi? mony of a witness who'avowed having received instructions from him, stating that his opinion was requested by rejoctod voters, other parties having used their names, and merely said he thought them entitled to a vote, which opinion they requested in writing, anl he complied. He would also stato that these parties wero staunch Democrats. He now took into consideration the registra? tion oatb, which he pronounced as illegal, contrary to the constitution of the State, and thcreforo not rightfully to bo exacted from any citizen. That the oct of the Legislature re? quiring such oath was a gross mistake; that the Legislature cannot mako an act which shall destroy the effect of a constitutional provision. Tho constitution says that no person shall bc deprived ol' bis vote uuless ho be convicted of treason, murder. &c. Ho concluded by saying he believed the board could not butdecido'that thero has been a good, substantial election. Uis Honor the Mayor then wished to know if it bo the will of Council to sit beyond tho U9ual hom- of adjournment which had arrived, and hear the argument of the remaining couu sel for protestants. Alderman Whilden moved that thc board so do. Alderman Moore requested the counsel to inform tho board as to thc probable leugtb of bis remarks. Mr. Miles slated that it would bc impossible to d?termine, inasmuch as he felt bound to do his whole duty. . The motiou was then put and lost. "Demotion of Alderman Olney, thc board ad? journed until eleven o'clock A. M. to-morrow. \V. H. SMITH, Clerk of Council. -Court at New Pickens, his Honor Judge Orr presiding, convened on Monday last. The causes pending in Pickins District formerly were divided, and those belonging to Oconee transferred. Messrs. Reed, Ooodlctt, Norton and Whitner, of the Anderson, Pickens and Walhalla bar, were in attendance. Court ad? journed Monday evening. POLITICAL GOSSIP. Thc Project to Force Negro Suffrage upon all thc States-Divisions in the Radical Camp. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette writes : Although it is a foregone conclusion that some amendment to the constitution confer? ring the ballot upon the negro throughout thc countty will be adopted by Congress, at tho coming session, the details aro by no means settled. Senator Wilson and Editor Greeley desire to include a clause removing ali disquali? fications and d sabdities from the whiles who were engaged in the late war on the 8-julhern side. At the last session of Congress Mr. Wil? son, I leam, was only prevented from offering an indep endent proposition having this end in view bu the known opposition of tliosc Radical cal ' Conseroatives" in tho interest of whom certain Democratic journals aro trailing tho Domocratia fl ig Io the very dust. Upon this point tho extremo Radicals, as they aro called, will meet with no opposition (with the excep? tion, perhaps, of tho monomaniac Sunnier) other than from such men as Trumbull, An? thony, Fcssenden, Sprague, Henderson, Van Winkle, Ros-", Fowler, Patterson and Tipton, who comprehend what is called tho "Conserva? ti vc'side of tho Radical party in thp Senate! An attempt will also be m.'.de to restrict tho negro vote to Ute national elections. But I am afraid that upon this point thc "Conservativo" Radi ca's will command a majority, and that the right of tho nogro rt ill be mado universal. THE DEPARTS! r.NTS-WHO SHALL CONTROL THOSE WHERE M08T PICKINGS ARE TO BE HAD-THE EL DORADO OF THU TREASURY DEPART il EXT -THE PATRIOTS BEAD? FOR PLUNDER SCHENCK, OF VIENNA, IN THE FIELD. A later letter from the same correspondent says : Leading Radical members of Congress are gradually dropping in. Thc main point With those wl?o have as yet arrived seems to bc (he control of the Treasury, War and Interior De? partments. So far as Ute Senate is concerned (orfor that matter the House), no trouble ie anticipated in regard to tho rest. Tho State Department never was worth much in dollars and cents, and it is supposed that Mr. Sura? uer, Wended Phillips and The doro Til ton will be suffered to control that ap? pointment upon giving a receipt in full to date. The pilfering in the Gcneial Postoffice is rather too slow and in too small lots for this fast ag", an I it is thought the place will be accordod without cavil to Forney or Greeley, whichever may obtain a majority ol sonators. n this fight "you bet" on Greeley. The Navy Department bas been played out, m respect to the almighty dollar, aud as for the post of At? torney-General, it is looked upon as a nonenti? ty-nobody paying the slightest attention to tho "opinions'' of that functionary, i o matter how much "money may be in them," or what legal point in other mutters may be involved. They are "morely advisory," as tho Executive has decided, and the "advice" is never takon, even after being solicited. Not so, however, with the remaining posi? tions. Claims (good and bad) to thc amount of thousands of millions ot dollars arc stuffed away iu the pigeon-holes of the War Depart? ment. In the united hands of an expert fine pickings are at stake hore, and bc sure that tho struggle in this behalf wdl not be termi? nated without stirring up angrv passions. General Cameron (now on the spot) has tho boat chance, so far, for this conspicuous post; but it wouldn't do yet to risk money on him. Tho Interior ie also a very important depart? ment in a pecuniaty point ot view. To say nothing of minor matters, the overhauling of that gigantic monopoly, tho Pacific Railoail, opens up fine prospects for investment by en? terprising gentlemen. TJio oxygen and hydro? gen are alroady hanging, in clouds over tho whole track, and only rcqnirc a spark of elec? tricity.

Reid, near Fishing Creek Church, York District, to? gether with eight or ten bales of cotton and ?fty bushels of wheat-, was destroyed by fire on Saturday night last. Tho burning is supposed to have been tho work of an incendiary. -As a negro roan was walking along tho road leading to Croes Hill, in Laurens District, on last Wednesday morning, ho was waylaid by a follow named Bob, formerly the property of Mr. Cresswell, near Greenwood. Bob evi? dently aimed to ta.tc off the head of his intend? ed victim, but li", shrinking suddenly from tho threatened stroke, tho axo which "Bob used inflicted only a flesh wound. It was the opin? ion of Dr. Simpson, who dressed tho wound, that if tin axe had penetrated only a littlo further it would have severed tho carotid ar* tery. -On Monday evening, about eight o'clock, tho barn in the rear of tho ro'sidciico ol' Mr. Burt, in Abbev lin village, was discovered to be on lire. Two of the female servants of the family extinguished the lire before it ha l time to do any damage. Three men wero seen bv them running away from Air. Burl's premises across the adjoining lot of Mr. Mooro. They cjuld not tell whether they were white or colored. This occurrence caused considerable excitement in thc village. A large number of persons very soon assembled at the place. In the large supply of lightwood faggots that had been piled up within the building, they found ampio ovidenco of a dsliberate purpose to secure the destruction of the premises. Tho Newberry Herald saya : "Messrs. R. V. Gist and J. W. Caldwell, citizens of Newberry, two quiet and respectable gentlemen, it will be remembered were arrested by W. P. H arri 8 and two United States soldiers, about the time of the killing of Lee Nance. Both arrests were made under aggravating circumstances, andas to be shown, without rightful authority, or just grounds-Mr. Gist at hia homo, and Mr. Caldwell on the highway, tho latter being fired upon. After unwarranted confinement they were conveyed to Columbia, and subse? quently bailed. On Wednesday last, the 18th, tnese gentlemen each made full and positive affidavits botore Esquire Peterson, of False ar? rest and imprisonment at the hands of Harris, upon which ho was arrested and committed to prison to await a hearing." -The Anderson Intelligencer says : Captain P. K. Norris, a highly respectable citizen of th.* district, was severely wounded on Suuday morning last, u 'der the following circumstan? ces: The Deputy Constable for this district, Alex. Campbell, was attempting to arrest two young men-oueof thom a Tunnesscean-upon charges not definitely ascertained, and had summoned several special constables, among them Norris, to aid iu thc arrest. The detach? ment of officers overhauled thc parties on Sun? day morning, and the Teuncsscean refused to surrender, when in making his escape he was either fired uuon or admonished by a display of woapons, whereupon he fired nt the posse and severely wounded Captain Norris in the hip. These aro all thc particulars in our pos? session from an authentic source, but there is no doubt that tho ohicf officer is grcallv to blame in the affair. Of course, thc wounded officer was acting under orders from his supe? rior, md wc have heard no censure upon his conduct. We are informo I that Mr. Campbell has tendered his resignation, but do not vouch for thc repott. -The E Igelleld Advertiser says : On Wed? nesday last D. A. Fuskct, living at "tho old Laudrum place." midway between this ami Aiken, was arrested, brought to this place, and lodged in jail. At the samj tnno and place were arrested six negroes, who arc also in onr jail. The charges against Fosket, so far as wc can learo, are that he keeps around him a gaug of negroes whom ho has armed, nnd whom he -con? stantly drills. That ho has incited these ne? groes lo kill certain of his neighbors. That the houses of certain of bis neighbors have been violently assaulted at night, and that thcso neighbors are in daily fear of their lives. That he has offered a white man of good char? acter, who is willing to swear to the fact. $500 to kill a certain well-known citizen of this place. And tbat he is a mischievous man, and foments strife and discord gen ei ally in the sec? tion in which he lives. The six negroes are of tho said gang. Foskelt has not given bail. These arrests were made by Deputy State Constable Kennedy, assisted by his special deputios, D. W. Christian and Noah Corley. ECONOMICAL FASHIONS. Practical Hints for the Ladles-How to b? Stylish on a Slim Purse. [From La Mode illustr?e.] Our feminine readers are very properly de? sirous of making useful the articles of toilet which they already posBes3. They wish to ap? pear dressed in the fashion, and at the same time desire to be at as little expense as possi? ble. Wc hasten then to advise them that the pelerines of lace and guipure, heretofore con? sidered out of dato, may really be transformed into very stylish ornaments. Hoods of lace aro much worn, both on velvet and cashmcro cloaks and mantles. A lace pelerine may be gathered at a little distance from the edges and drawn up so as to form one of these hocds. A satin ribbon is placed over the gathers to conceal them, and the hood is further orna? mented with a satin bow. Lotus suppose we are dealing with a man? tle of black cashmere. It is lined first wicja a stiff ga izo, then with a thin flannel, and finally with a taffetas, "lustrine" or foulard Bilk. At small distances apart black satin biases, with a narrow siik braid in the centre, cover tho whole back like a wide-spread fan. A hood of lace made from an old polerine is trimmed with satin ribbon ond bows. The mantle should also be trimmed with lace. Thus arrauged, tho mantle will be useful for tho greater part of tho winter. In cases of excessivo cold, a water-proof may bc placed outside, and thrown off in the hall in paying a visit. In a similar manucr black lace flounces can bo rejuvenated. Cut opt a tunic of black tulle and place the lace on it iu rows, folding the lace in front so as not to cut it. Attach this tunic to a handsome belt with long ends loop? ed in the back. This tunic may be worn with any dress. If one has only a email quantity of lace, eithor thread or guipure, it can be with two rows made into a sort of basque, which recalls to mind the ceinture a basques called a peplum. This may also accord with any toilette, for lace but lately reserved for evening and full dress occanons is now woru in the daytime, and in the street. Another method ot utilizing a very wide lace is to attach it to a ruche of satin or velvet, made loog enough to reach from the back over the shoulders, crossing in front, and fastening low on ibo back of the skirt with a large bow of satin or velvet, according to the material of tho ruche. This arrangement is rather airy, it is true, but thanks to the over present water? proof, it can be worn even in winter. For middle-aged ladies it is suitable for an evening toilette; indeed it has more the appoarance of a trimming for the waist and skirt than of an outside covering. The lace should be over ten inches wide. If it is narrow, two rowB should bo used, but the effect is much better with one wide ono. Some one may bc the owner of a largo vel? vet polerine which holds oach year a le*s and less distinguished place in her wardrobe as it grows more and more out of style, threatening at last to serve out its time as a rainy day cos? tume. Certain matters of dress are, however, out of placo in certain circumstances, and we are sure that our readers will agree with us, that eithcion foot or in an omnibus, ou a rainy day, an alpaca dress is in better tasto lhau ono offadod velvet. Take, then, the faded pcllisscs, have it rippod, steamed and brush? ed, cut it in the shape of a dress talma, and line it with the expensive fur called motiso skin. This fur is very light, warm and pleasant to wear. Tho first few ap? pearances of this remodelled mantle may bo in paying visits, afterwards ?twill servo for clear, cold days, for the theatre, for coicerta, &c. A volvot clo ik is always most wisely chosen in a shape not too fanciful to be adapted to a second or third fashion. To show how a lady can take her two daugh? ters into society during thc approaching sea? son with economy, we will give tho details of thc manner in which one of our friends intends to manage. As lor her own wardrobe, she has always for a visiting toiletto a black velvet. This season she has also a black and whito striped silk. The stripes aro of equal width, and tho whito ones are of satin. Tins dross was made close? ly gored, but she will not renounce it on that account. A wide black ribbon is arranged on each Inp to raise tho dross in the back in a tournure. The two ends are fastened in a bow underneath the puff. This combination resus? citates the dress, and it is worn over a remod? elled skirt of blaek taffetas made with a single flou:ice headed with a pinked ruc&e. Fur evening and dinner todettes she has a dros:s of faye, of tho shade called couleur de fue. Over tnis she wears ono of thoa j dresses of Yak lace which are so convenient tor va? rious occasions, making an elegant aud inex? pensive toilette, as well as one that may be varied indefinitely. According to tho lint of the underskirt, the lace dress will bc either a dressy or sober toilette. Lot us imagine a dross of black satin, cut low in the Deck, cov? ered with tho high corsage of lace. This is an attiro which, without being conspicuous, is appropriate for tho many occisi?n? where a lady wishes to ba neither too little nor too much dressed. Our friend's dress of faye, to which wo alluded, has only a low corsugo, but tho lace dress has two, ono high and oue low. Her satin dress of last season will bo equally serviceable this year. Her Iwo daughters are of seventeen and eighteen years, and shu intends taking them to some balls, to some family dinners, and to a few quiet soirees. For the first ball they have dresses of unequal length, terminating in bows with two ends. These braids servo to raise the dross over the und rskiit, also of white tarletan, trimmed with six bias satin pipings. Low corsages ornamented en p'.asiron with similar pipings. For tho second ball the decorations will be chauged. The pipiugo will be taken off and biases cut from an out-of-date red and green Scotch plaid silk will bo substituted-five rows for the under, and three rows lor the upper dress. A wide Scotca sash according with the biases, will raise the dress cn poufin the back. Sprays ot red pomegranates for the hair. Third ball. Alas 1 thc drosses wilf he no longer perfectly fresh. The breadths must be ripped apart and lined throughout with coarse tarletan, one dress with pink, and ono with blue. Tii6 underskirt, of coarse, to be treated in tue same way. The new tarletan, with its primi? tive stiffness, will sustain and freshen the white. There will be no grievous ends to deplore, as tho dresses have no extravagant trains. Bows ofnbbou for trimmings. As for the other dresses of these young girls, they each have black aud green tartans, with skirts and mantelets to correspond. For cold and damp wealLer they will add waterproof covering*. They have also walking costumes ot black silk and \el\ctpal-tots. For tho soirees consecrated to sewine, crocheting, and conversation, black silk dresses will alternato wi h dresses of bright gray mo? hair. The latter toilettes are ornamented with Scotch biases; bodies trimmed in the same way; co. sages of nainsook; wide plaid sashes. GENERAL GBAMT'S FORTUNE.-Tho Washing? ton correspondent of the ?St. Louis Democrat says : G.ueralGrant is rich already, and by cau? tious investments ho is destined to bj very rich one day, ranking with thu most opulent. Ile owns thirty-eight acres of lind within the corporation Inuits of Washington, worth S2C00 au acre. His house hero is held at $GU,000; A farm ucar St. Louis, and houses at Galena aud in Philadelphia, should add $100.000 to the former itoins. Three hundred thousand dol? lars will not probably bo tn excess ot the Pres? ident e oct's possessions. Meantime his com? mercial training and fondness for material speculations, added to his go ul luck and cau? tion, arc exemplifying themselves in judicious operations iu man? honorable fields. It is alto? gether , robable that we shall have iii Grant a President who, exercising all duo liberality and hospitality in thc Chief Magistracy, wiil be the first President, since Washington, to be discreet and practical in the management of his private fortune. Ilia comparative youth will permit him. should ho live to tho average age of Presidents, thirty years' duration after tue expiration of his term of office. AN AJTEEICAN JOURNALIST ABROAD.-Mr. Walter, proprietor of tue Loudon Times, is now entertaining, at his elegant estate, Bear? wood, Mr. George W. Childs, from Philadel? phia, who is very properly described in the American papera aa "the publisher, editor and philanthropist." Mr. Childs is one of the largest newspaper proprietors in America, i The Public Ledger, cf which he I"B the owner, ?8 I now one of tho moat prosperous publications in the Union; and the building in which it ia published ia one of the finest structures in the United 8tates. During his stay in England, Mr. Childs will be the guest cf the Duke of Buckingham, Mr. Walter, Mr. Dickens, Mr. Peabody, Mr. Reverdy Johnson and other gen? tlemen, some of whom have enjoyed his prince? ly hoapitality in America.-Literpool Daily Mercury. ILLNESS OF THE POPE.-A letter from Rome says the Pope ia very unwell, though his con? dition is concealed at the Vatican. The jour? ney to Civita Vecchia gave him cold, whick ho increased on All Saints' Day, by descending to the Sistine Chapel, and he has since been tor? mented by a cough, attended with fever at night. In spite of these bad symptoms, he in? sisted on going to tho Church of San Carlo at Corso on the 4th, the festival of St. Charles Borromeo, and with difficulty waa persuaded to give up his state coach and go in a carriage carefully closed. The exposure and excite? ment liavo had a bad effect on I he Pope, and hia cough becomes more and more distressing. ?Muan). WALSH.-Died, at Florence, 9.

Sickness, to a greater ex'cut than most people suppose, is avoid? able. Wlien thc body is laug'?J, tho spirits de? pressed, and tho nervous system unnaturally sensi? tive, it should be taken for granted that misc .iel'is brewing. These hints and warnings, vouchsafed as such by a kind Provide-: ought not to be disre? garded. If tbcv are slighted, a= ia too geuerally thc case, the next thing may be o fever, a severe bilious attack, or some other (brui of acute disease. They indie ue os clearly os if thu Intimation were given in articulate language, that the animal fuuetions are disordered, aud thc system debilitated. Under those circumstances, the only thing to be done is to regulate and restore, and the best regulatin? and restorative preparation ever used for the i leveutiou of sickness is HO STUTTER'.-, STOMACH BI I'TERS. In this way, bilious remi'toot fever, chills and fever, spasms, nervous paroxysms, violent attacks ot indigestion, and ail l!ie ordinary epidemics, may al rt oat certainly bc averted.
