When about three miles from tile city the horse dashed off. throwing the gentlemen out and slightly injuring them. Iho horse and buggy returned to the Charleston Hotel, leaving the parties up tho road to get down the best way they could. THE STATE COUBT-HON. B. B. CARPENTER PREST?rna.-In the Common Pleat.-The action of Mayor Clsrk to the alternative writ of mandamus was read, and the farther hearing of the cause postponed until this morning.

Dunn vs. Ute same, her engine, tackle, co , for wages. Deas Ac Burnett for libellant, and Dingle & Barker for respondents. The case waa continued over until Tuesday next. THE BICE TIEBOE.-In noticing yesterday the mooted question of taking off the charoo usually made in this market for tle-ces in Bolling rico, we wrongly said that ?he principal factors had agreed to abolish the charge. The truth is that the buyers of ri oe are the movers in favor of the abolition, the firms who signed tbo circular which we printed be? ing the principal dealers in this city. We have no doubt that the factors wdl consider tho propriety of making the change, ?nd we tru<t that they will soon declare that to be the pi sitive fact which THE KEWS announced a littie ahead of time. We learn 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 government water carts and an ambu? lance were found in Queen-street aftor hours, con? trary to ordinance. They were taken to the Guard? house, and early yeuteiday morning there were the moat startling rumors afloat that ammunition wag? ons and artillery had boen secretly carried to the i Guardhouse ta be in readiness to blow the "wool" off the head ef the Republican "faithful" who should show their noses during the day. Political "love knots" lormed on the comers and in the by ways, and the matter was seriously discussed and weighed, much to the distress o? some of the "braves" who snuffed considerable discomfort in the impending result. Mid-day the truth was ascsitaiuod, "the laugh came in," an! the exercised "bussums" beat to a leas excited pulse. CLUBS AND STABS.-The following are the cases disposed of at ihe Mayor's Court yesterday: Mary Boper, colored, drunk in King-street and had to be carried to the guardhouse on a furniture -cart. Fined $5; couldn't pay-"went up." Antoine Wagner, white, drunk and oarried to tho guardhouse on a cart. Fined $0; couldn't pay "went up." Patrick Donovan, white, drunk in Broad-street.

Maxwell Fields, charged with Ute larceny of money from Henry Draine, colored,-?vas up beforo Magis? trate Mackey, yesterday, and Ute ease continued for further hearing. Henry and Joseph Mills, colored youths, were ar? rested, yesterday, by I ieutenant Coates and Officer Gray, fer breaking into the trunk of Sallie Oreen, colored, Butledge Avenue, and stealing therefrom $30 in currency, ?mt some epeoie. Jamas Wentorf oit, colored, was arrested, yesterday, by Lieutenant Coates and Offloer Gray, for having in his possession a lot of lead piping and a copper pump, which he could not properly account for. A sospioiou? looking white man, with a Loman nose, dyed moustache, m tied bair, and seedy cloth? ing', nailing under the aliases of Augustus Oppen? heim, Charles DA Costa, and - Henriqnes, was picked up in King-street, yesterday, by Lieutenant Coates, far imposing on the charity of several highly respectable Israelite families, and obtaining from them assistance under false pretenoes. REPORTERS' CRUMBS.-Tickets for the Mag? nolia line omnibus w ll be so'd at the offioe, corner of Line and Meeting-streot, tw< Ive for a dollar. Bight Bev. Biskop Lynch mado an appeal last Sunday to the congregation of St. Michal's churoh, Ph i lad el phi ?, in behalf ol the impc-voi lobed Cai hoi ic i Churches and religious institutions in Char'.eston, I and the result was a collection ot $1300. ?? It will be borne in mind by tourists thai the I steamer St.- Selena leaves Market wharf to-day, at I ten A. M., for the forts and fortifications in tho I harbor. I A pair of horses attached to a carriage ran away in ? Ktng-street. Tiight-beiore la?t, breaking the vehiole i up. It is reported to belong to Kiley. Comparatively speaking, there was very little in Interest mamiested yesterday by tbe colored ele? ment in reference to tho write brought up in court The Skiff and Gaylord troupe left last night after c rei ting a furore ? here. Instead of the weather indicating the beg'nniQg of .pring to-day, lt looks more like tho advent of "full fledged" summer. Dbe number ot strangers in the city and the gene, rai prognostications of a resuscitation of tho pros? perity of "other days," would seem to warrant the opening of the Mills Home by seme godhead hoit. Several organisations in the .city contemplate toa ttmonials to faithful officials. For the present their names shall be ?mum. " It has been suggested that an equal amount of vigilance in detecting tho thieves who steal platforms .t night, to that displayed m overhauling the un? fortunates who are victimized, would be a proper distribution of Justice. All the plunder at the guardhouse, recovered from thieves and sold yesterday, only brought ten dol? lars. There are a number of Mcrtham drummer, peet* ia? through tte city in search of trade. Our mer ohants must be wide awake and np to th? times. THE CONTESTED ELECTION. Binoe the beginning of Hie contest between the Mayer and A'dormen of Charleston and the Pillsbury party, who claim to have boen elected at the No? vember elections, the public baye Docomo familiar with the ordinary course of legal proceedings, and there ia scarcely a colored man in town who does not know that a writ ef ma damns means GBT our I and that a writ of quo warrante means WHAT BIO*HT HAT*, TOW TO STAT ! The interest in the result of this contest is ia'enas, and at ten o'clock yesterday morning the courtroom or the Circuit Court waa till? ed with spectators. The Acting Mayor and Aldermen were represented by the Hon. W. D. Perter, City Attorney, Theo. G. Barker. Esq., and C. Biohardson Miles, Esq. ; the claimants being represented by the Hon. D. T. Cor? bin, United States District Attorney. The return to the writ of mandamus was read. The respondents say that they do not surrender their onces because they are bi possession c f said offices, having been admitted and sworn under ap? pointments and ?lections daly made, and that the mandamus is not the proper remedy; and, further, that by the acts ot t nu present General Assembly, they are entitled and bound to continue in ornee until their successors shall be elected and qualified according to law, and that Gilbert Pillsbury and the other petitioners haye net boen elected and qntltOed according to law. They then recite tho well-known circumstances of the election, ths contest, ?ha find? ing of the Beard ef Aldermen, and say easphatlaally that the validity of the olectioa of Pillsbury and the other pctitJcners has neyer been Judicially determt oed otherwise than ay the Acing Board of Aldermen; that the bupreme Court expressly declared that they did not mean to express any opinion as to the rights ot the petitioners to the offices claimed by tbem, and that tba petitioners are entitled to hare the aamo determined by a due process of law. They also say that they are advised that the act to con? firm and declaro valid the recent municipal electlcn ls contrary to the chartered tights of the corporators of the city, and also to the 12th, 14th and 26th sec? tions of the first article of the Constitution of the ! State, and to the 20th section of article 2d of the same, and to the Fourteenth amendment to the Con? stitution of the United ?tatos. In conclusion, the fte pondents admit the demand of Pillsbury and the other petitioners for the offices and properties of the city, but say "that tue petitioaers were not duly elected and qualified, and hive no right or title th ore to; and that inasmuch as the re? spondents have been admitted, sworn, and are actu? ally in possession of their several respeodve 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 Geddings, Petter, Lindstrom, Dereaf, Oade, Olney, Honour, Whilden, Marshall and Voigt. The pleas te tho wrir ot quo warrante are to the effect that proceedings under a writ of quo warrante were depending in the Supreme Court at the time sf filing the information and issuing the rule in this case, and that the information should be quashed. 1 he counsel state the fact that all the Aldermen were appointed by General Canny, Bave Messrs. Honour, Whilden and Olney, who were duly elected in ISM. and that they are bound under the city charter and the aots of the present General Assembly to hold their offices until those offices aro filled by the elec? tion and qualification of their successors, and that no ?. -i. 'ssore have so been elected and qualified. They admit that tho demand was made by Pillsbury and others for .the offices and the property belong? ing to them, and that they did not surrender the same because the claimants haye not been duly elect ed and qualified, and are not Mayor and Aldermen of Charleston. The plea is signed by the Bon. W. D. Porter, O. B. Miles, Esq., and Theo. G. Barker, B.q., counsel for defendants. After the reading of the returns, Mr Corbin saic that in view of the new issues and questions brought up in the returns, he would ask a postponement ol the hearing of tue cate for a few hours. Judge Oareenter then postponed the further hear ing of tbe case to this morning. HOLT WKEK.-To-morrow will be Palm Sun? day, the opening day of Holy Week.

THE LIFE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA.-We publish this morning the advertisement of the Lite Association of America, a company which, in thc course of nine montbs, has secured an annual rove nu", from premiums on existing policies, of nearlj half a million of dollars. Thia, as we understand it, ls but the natural result of the syisVm upon whicl the company was established. A well tried and pep ular plan was adopted. This was the first stop, ano1 thea a sufficient number of the merchants and capt tellata of st. Louis insured their lives to put tbe com? pany upon a sound basis. So the company obtained a large paying business without the expenses'foi .gents and advertising, which in tbe flist years press so heavily upon new companies. We may edd .thal lt is a part ot the system ot the company to invest in each district the premiums received in that district, so that no m ney paid to tbls company for premi? ums will be drained out of the 8tate. The following extract from an article published by the "Insurance Monitor," the independent and re. spectable organ of insurance interests, will Show th? estimation ia whioh the company la held : LOT ASSOCIATION OT AMEHIOA. The advertisement of this company will attract unusual attention; not that ithas been an uncommon thing f r Ufe companies to be formed in ar. Louis during the past year, but because it is uncommon for any company.

Tun company attributes its remarkable success to tho laot of its befog a purely mutual company, divid? ing all its profits amone policy holders; and if tbatin not a good ground for popular itv, our observation bas been at fault' The Kian to of the day are mutual, and it remains to be seen weet nor any other plan will ever commend itself to the American publia. We undersUn?jit to be th* inteation ot the assoc! at on re beard tnS.Sou la tu? den, and plant as once A branch office in ibis city, where it will comp' te with the well estaollshed Bastera companies for the hon? ors of the orient.

HOME INSURANCE COMPANY.-Messrs. A. L. Tobia?, G. W. Williams. Francis J. Pelzer, Henry Cobla and Henry Buist, the commissioners, will on Monday morning eren books and recdve eubeorip tionn to the cspital ?tock of the Homo Insurance Company of Charleston, at the omeo ol A. L. Tobias, No. 109 East Bay. Ibis is altogether what lis name conveys-a home enterprise, and the high st mu lng 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 thia time about 9100,000 ls paid out from this State monthly for premiums of Ore and marino insurance, and it ls the obj' ct of the new company to i o ta in and use this capital at home. Before the war local companies were very proBperoas, paying for many years divi? dends ranging as hioh as twenty per cent., while their shares aold at fifty per cent premium, lhere is no reason why a similar good fortune should not attend tho Home Insurance comp my, to whisb, as a charleston company, managed by Charleston men, we with a full subscription list, a large business and moat abundant prosperity.
