THE RICE TIERCE. -In noticing; yesterday tbe mooted question of taking off the charge usually made in this market for tierces in selling rice, we wrongly said that the principal factors bad agreed to abolish tbe charge. The truth is that the buyers ol rice are the movers in favor of the abolition, the firms who sigurd the circular which wo printed be* lng the principal dealers in this city. We have no doubt that tho factors will consider the propriety ef making the ?hange, tnd we tru-t tbat they will soon declare that to be the p: sihve fact whick THE IkEWS announced a littie ahead of time. We leam that a special meeting of the Chamber of * Commerce will be held next week to consider and determine the whole question. ANOTHER SENSATION.-On the night before last several goveroment water carts and an ambu? lance were found in Queen-street after hours. con? trary to ordinance. They were taien to the Guard ' house, and early yesterday morniog tb eu were the most startling rumors afloat that ammunition wag? ons and artillery had been secretly carried to the * Guardhouse to be In readiness to blow the ''wool" ol' the head of the Republican "faithful" who sheuld show then* noses during the day. Pobtioal "love knots" tan?ed on the corners and ut the by ways, and the matter was seriously discussed and weighed, much to the distress of some of the "braves" who snuffed considerable discomfort In the tmpendlug result. Mid-day the truth was asceitained, "the laugh came in," an i the exercised "bussum?" beat to a loss excited pulse. CLUBS AND STABS.-The following are the cases disposed of at the Mayor's Court yesterday: Mary Boper, colored, drunk in King-street and had to be carried to the guardhouse on a furniture cart.

It wih be borne, in mind by tourisms that thc steamer St Helena leaves Market wharf to-Jay, at ten A. M., for the forts and fortifications lu the harbor. A pair of horses at:acliod to a carriage ran away in King-street, night belorc las?, breakiug the vehicle up. It is reported to belong to Riley. Comparatively speakiug, there waa very little in interest mamiesied yester-lay by the colored cle? ment in reference to the writs brought up iu court.

For tb? present their names shall bo "mum." It has been suggested that an equal amount of vigilance tn detecting the thieves who stoat platforms at night, to that displayed in overhauling the un? fortunates who aro victimht.-d, would bo a proper distribution of justice. All the plunder at the gu ard bou se, recovered from thiv^jos - ad Bold yesterday, only brought ten dol? lars: There aro a number of Northern drummers pass? ing through the city in search of trade.

Since the beginniofrofthecontest between the M IT or and A'darmea of Charleston and tbn Pillsbury party, who claim to hare been electe.l at the No? vember elections.the public bave become familiar with the ordinary course of legal proceedings, and there is scarcely a colored man in town who does not know that a writ of ma rfamuJ means GET OUT 1 and thit a writ of quo warrante means WHAT BIGHT HAVE YOU TO STAT 1 The interest in the result of this comest is in'ense. and at ten o'clock yesterday morai og the courtroom of the Circuit Court wis fill? ed with spectators. The Aattng Mayor and Aldermen were represented by the HOD. W. D. Porter, City Attorney, Theo. G. Barker. Esq., and C. Richardson Miles, Esq.; the claimants being reprtsonted by the Hon. D. T. Cor? bin, United States District Attorney. The return to the writ of mo adam us waa read, 'the respondents say that they do not surrender their ofices because they are in possession rf said offices, having been admitted and sworn under ap? pointments and elections duly made, and that the ?mandamus is not tho proper remedy; and, luriher, that by the acts of the present General Assembly, they are entitled and bound to continue in office until their successors shall be elected and qualified according to law, and that Gilbert Pillsbury and the other petitioners have not been elected and qualibed according to law. They then recite tho well-known circumstances of the election, the contest, the find? ing of the Board of Aldermen, and say emphatically that the validity of the election of"Pillsbury and the other petitioners has never been j u i i c i al ly deUnaiu ed otherwise than by the Acing Board of Aldermen; that the Supreme Court expressly declared that they did not mean to express any opinion as to tbe rights ot the petitioners to the offices claimed by them, and that the petitioners aro entitled to have the same determined by a due process of law. They also say that they are advised that the act to con? firas and declare valid the recent municipal electicn ls contrary to the chartered rights of the corporators of the city, and also to the 12th, 14th and 26th sec? tions of the first article of the Constitution of k> . State, and to the 20th se: rio a of article 2d of ina same, and te the Fourteenth amendment to the Con? stitution of tbs United ?tates. In conclusion, the res? pondent!! admit the demand of Pillsbury and the other petitioners for the offices and properties of the airy, but say "I bat the petitioners were not duly elected and qualified, and hive no right or title thereto; and that inasmuch as the re? spondents ai e been ad mn ted, sworn, and are actu ally in possession ef their several respective offices, the proceeding by mandama? is not the proper re? medy for the petitioners, and they pray that the same be quashed." Signed by G. W. Clark, Mayor, and Aldermen Gedding?, Potter, Lindstrom, Deretf, Cade, Olney, Honour, Rh?den, Marshall and Voigt The pleas to the writ ot quo warrant? are to the effect tbat proceedings under a writ of quo warratta were depending in the Supreme Court at the rime of filing the information and issuing tho rule in this case, and that tho information should be quashed. The counsel state the fact that all the Aldermen were appointed by General Canby, save Messrs. Honour, Whilden and Olney, who were duly elected ia 1866. and that they are bound under the eily charter and the ac's of the present Geaeral Assembly to hold their offices until those effices are filled by tho elec? tion and qualification of their successors, and that no ?uccessora have so boen elected and qualified. They admit that the demand was made by Pillsbury and others for the offices and tho prop-rty belong? ing to them, and that they did not surrender thc same because thc claim mts have not been duly elect? ed and qualified, and ore not Mayor and Aldermen of Charleston. The plea is signed by the Bon W. D. Porter. C. B. Miles, Esq.. and Theo. G. Barker, Esq., counsel for defendants.

THE LIPE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA.-We publish this morning the advertisement of the Lite Association of America, a company which, in the course of nine months, has secured an annual reve? nu ', from premiums on existing policies, of nearly half a million of dollars. This, as we understand it, ls but th? natural result of the system upon which tho company was established. A well tried and pop? ular plan was adopted. This was the first step, and theo a sufficient number of the merchanls and capi? talists of St. Louis insured their lives to put tee com? pany upon a sound basis. So the company obtained a large paying business without the expeEscs for agents and advertising, which in tho ttl at years press so heavily upon new cotnrauies. We may tdd that it is a part of the system of thc compiny to invest in each district the premiums received in that diftciet, so'that no m .ney paid to this company for premi? ums will be drained out ol tbc State The following extract from au article published by tho "insurance Monitor,*' tho independent and ro spectablo organ of insurance interests, will show lh? estimation iu which the company is held : LIFE ASSOCIA TIOS OF AM KOI CA. The advertisement of this company will attract unusual attention; not that uhrs been au uncommon tbiug f r life companies to be formed in St. Louis during thc past year, but b cause it is uiieamujon > lor any company.

L. Tobias, No. 109 East Bay. Ibis is altogether what ils name conveys-a home enterprise, and the high standing and commercial reputation of the gentlemen connect? ed with it are guarantees that its affairs will be man? aged with intelligence and lore! bought. At this time about $150,000 is paid ?ut from this State monthly for premiums of bro and marine insurance, and it is the obj' ct of the new company to ?etain and use ibis capital at home. Before the war local companies were very prosperous, paying for many years divi? dends ranging as hieb ns twenty per cent., while their shares sold at fitly per cent premium. There is no reason why a similar good fortune should not attend thc Home Insurance Comp my, to which, as 'a Charleston company, managed by Charleston men, we wi-U a full subscription Hst, a large business and most abundant prosperity.
