The girl then weDt before a magistrate and took out a warrant for Riley's arrest.

TO THE EDITOR Or" THE NEWS. Gentlemen-I noticed in your paper a few days since a suggestion which I think is woll timed, aud I hope will be carried out. I al? lude to a paragraph recommending the ap? proaching anniversary of tho Fire Department to be observed as a general holiday. We have now no general holiday. Before the war we had the Fourth of July, but we have no heart for that now. Under God's mysterious pro? vidence wo aro groaning under an almost in? tolerable infliction of unprincipled men, who misgovern the State, and the recurren ?e of tho Fourth can only recall to our minds the ante bellum days when a free people celebrated tbe day, and ?ll our hearts with bitterness. But I have Jost sic ht of what I intended to say. I proposo making the anniversary of thc Fire Department a general holiday and gala day for tbo citizens of Charleston, who, one and ail, take such a jnst pride in that noble organiza? tion. Leaving their efficiency out of the ques? tion, we admire thc spirit of emulation without jealousy that pervades their ranks, and tho esprit de corps that prompts our firemen, each one, to feel himself interested for the well be? ing and good name of the whole. On the ap? proaching occasion, which will be specially in? teresting, would it not bc appropriate that, by a suspension of business for that day, our citi? zens may turn out cn masse to do fitting honor to our gallant firemen and their guests ?
