LOVE-A COSMOPOLITAN -THOT-PR?TENDED Wira-PISTOL PRACTICE - ELOPEMENT-MAR? RIAOS-IMPRISONMENT. -If reports be true and reports are sometimes most accurate there is a young maa in this city who has figured in several love affairs; endeavored to elope with a mulatto girl; bas been arrested several times for theft; bas rec a a tly eloped and been married; claims to b j from almost every point laid do wu on the maps ; once asserted that he was a colored man, and, to orown all, ia now in jail, where he bas been before. Ike name of this individual is suppressed only on account of the confiding woman whom he has recently entrapped into marriage, ano throughout this account he will be styled F. Borne months sinoe F. was arrested and ar? raigned before Justice Mackey on the charge of staling money. The prosecutor being a resident of New Orleans, and nuable to await ."law's delay," the prosecution was dropped. Not long after, according to renort F. court? ed a mulatto girl, representing himself as a colored mau-bis dark skin supporting his as? sertion, fie attempted to elope with her, but didn't succeed. After this F. was arrested for stealing money from the trunk ot a woman with whom he was ou intimate terms. On this charee he was committed to jail by Justice Mackey. There he remained for a few days, when the woman came to the Justice and represented herself as the wife of F: The Justioe, of course, released him, on the ground that a man oould not steal from bis wife. This affair over, F. turned his thoughts upen marriage, detmuming to ''settle down." He met a lady, wooed and won her. Her relatives hearing stories detrimental to his character, instituted inquiries, and were told that if they called at Magistrate Mackey's office at a cer? tain time they would be fully informed of the charac er of the man in question. They did not go to the appointed place, but sent for Offi? cer Reed, who went to the house and told all he knew about the man. The lady, woman 1 like, would not believe the man of her choice to be anything else than what her fancy paint od bim,and a few day's after Officer Reid's >i i she eloped with F.. and married him. F. heard that .he brother of bis wife bad made inqui? ries regarding his character, and called upon him Friday afternoon and threatened to mur? der him. The brother fired two shots at F., who hu rr edly departed, unhurt. Mr. Patrick Bligh, residing at No. 681 King street, last week lost a watch,and having reason to B aspect F., had him arrest xL Officers Phil* ippy, Heed and Coates worked up the case, and 00 Saturday F. appeared before Justice Mackey 1 to answer the charge. He was arrested while making preparations to leave for New York. The justice offered to release F. if be would give bonds m the sum of $500 to appear to answer the charge on Tuesday next. He said be could Ret the security; but after waiting four hours failed to furnish it, and was commit? ted to jail. r F. has hailed from various points in New York, North and South Carolina, and Louisiana, Many persons think he is an Italian. Whatever be is, the novelists are indebted to him for laying the groundwork for a first class dune novel_ THE STATE COURT, JULY 8- Hos. R. B. CARPENTER PRESIDING.-Tho arguments in the case of J. Evans Eldin g s vs. John Wright, (the latter having purchased at a sal?by the Master in Equity a tract of land on Edisto Isl? and belonging to the former, but when he at? tempted to take possession, a dispute arose as to the limits of the property purchased, and he was prosecuted for trespass.) were hoard is this court Saturday. The jury awarded ten dollars damages to the plaintiff. The case of John Binns vs. the Western Union Telegraph Comp my was heard on Sat. ur lay, au the jory awarded to the plaintiff on s bund.ed dollars damages. It appears that some months since a tele? gram waa sent from New York to Mr. Binns, over the lines of the Western Union Company, informing him of the state of the colton mar? ket in that oity. ibo telegram arrived Ute Sa turd ty afternoon, and the messenger started with it to Mr. Binns' house. He mistook the place and gare it to another person. The mis? take was not discovered until Tuesday morn? ing, and the telegram was then properly de? livered. Mr. B. claimed that he was subjected to loss by not receiving tho telegram in tim:, and brought suit against the company for about $7000 damages. There was testimony introduced by the company, Saturday, showing that the information contained in the telegram to Mr. B. was received by several merchants at half-past three o'clock Saturday, and was gen? erally known before dark. Tux CANDIDATES voa THE Cm Omcxs Boxs or THEM MARE THE MAYOR LAUGH. -On Saturday morning our reporter called upon the Mayor for the parp?se of ascertaining the names of the applicants for the city offices. He courteously but firmly refused t J furnish the names, saving: "Some of the applicants might not like for the public to koow that they have applied. Their names will not be read bsfore Council on Tuesday night. We have held a caucus, and selected the men that wc want, and m Council I shall mention the office co be filled, and call for nominations. Besides, if these names are published it will make tho public laugh-some of them make me laugh." Tto Muyo- took the bundle of applications and ca lcd off the various offices und tbe num? ber of applications fir cac 1, as follows: For Clerk of Council, three; City Sheriff, two; Clerk of City Court, one; City Inspector, two; Flour Inspector, two; City Pnysicians, four; lnspos tors of Lumber, eleven; Keeper of Public Cern etery, three; Coroner, one; Rucorlor, one; Harbormaster, one; Gauger of Liquor, four; Chimney Contractors, fiv>; Postwardeus, seven; Assistant Assessor, one; [u-p:ctor of Naval Stores, three; Tidal Drain Keepers, ten; Phys xian of Orphan House, one. The applicants who have regularly applier1, and whose merits were oanvassed at th ? cau? cus of the Pillsburyites on Friday night, are sixty-two in number. Besides these, there are about tbree hundred and fifty persons wi.o have "hopes," and who have besieged thc various Aldermen until their patience has been exhausted. Ii will oe seen by the above list that there are no applicants for the offices of City 'treasurer, Assessor, Captain and Lieu? tenants of Police, City Attorney, Jity Assessor, Civil Engineer and City Registrar. It is re? torted, and sreneral.y believed, that Major Wil louehby will bu elected Chief of Police, and Mr. E. Baynard Seabrook, City Attorney.

CRUMBS.-Tho Pillsburyites held a cant Friday night until nearly one o'clock, and ranged matters for the election to-morr night. Tho Maokeyifes have also arra DR affairs, and may verify lo their opponents t truth that "the best laid schemes of mice a men art gang aglee." Tbs action of the Mayor in imprisoning t two colored girls for insulting Biiey bj lou. singing "Democrat Riley," elicited from Ct a column of edi tonal protest in the bist M eionary Record. The bathing of boys off Boyce's wharf, frc which most of tbe yachting parties !ea\ should be stopped at once. The onslanght of the police npon the do will commence cn Tuesday. During the la war npon the brutes, negroes took occisi?n sling poisoned meat over into 3 ards m otd to get rid of tho guardian of the house pi parut orv to entering it at night. It. is to 1 hoped that a vigilant watci will be kept f ouch offenders. lt is understood that Alderman T. J. Mac ty's speech to-Jay, at White Point Garden, w be confined mainly to showing the progress Republicanism. Mayor Pillsbury is expected to make a sho: speech on the same stand with Alderm. I. J. Mackey to-da> ; strange, but the Seri] ture tells us that cha "Lion and lamb will 1 down together, and a child shall lead them." The- sheriff's salea, advertised to take plac to-day, have been postponed until to-moiroi The ex-Federal officer, B. H. Manning, who; sudden departure on the steamer Aspiu wall, ?hort time since, was duly chronicled in Ta NEWS, with a brief account of his misdeed ' was shipped on the steamer as second mab He remarked to a friend that he would hear c a number of Btories about nts running off witt out paying his debts, Ac., but that be must nc believe them. There were only two oases of drunkennee before the Mayor Saturday. } . The semi-annual dividend of five dollars pe sh ire, free of tax, declared by the Board c Directors of the First National Bank c Charleston, will be paid on and after to-moi row. Saturday afternoon a drunken man wai camed, face downward!, to tbe barracks through the principal streets, by two police men and a negro. Ha should have been carriec in a wagon. A meeting of the Executive Committee 0: the State Agricultural and Mechanical Societ: will be held in Columbia on the fourteenth 0 this month. The negroes Bob. Lloyd, Abram Brown Daniel Cox and Peter Highgrasi, whose arrest by the detective forco for the crimes o grand larceny and burglary have been men tinned, were sentenced Saturday to imprison ment in jail. The chimes will, by order of the Mayor, tx rung to-day from half-past four to half-past si: o'clock, from twelve to one o'clock, and fron six o'clock t J sundown. The Mayor will not parade to-day with th? colored men, bat will be at tbe battery will them. The Council up to Saturday night had no decided to be in the colored procession to-day, Tbe members have bees informed that thej would be denounced as Democrats if they did not attend as a body, and they act with their eyee open. The Mayor, when reminded 0 this on Saturday, said that he could'ot help it he had been denounoed as snob often before. Officers Nipson, Lovett and Mitchell, on Sat urday, took a young girl, by request of hei mo her, from the house of ill-fame kept by 1 Mrs, Shepherd, on Do?ean, near Corning Stree'. This bouse is greatly complained of. The First National Bank, People's N attona Bank, and the office of the South C.irolioa Liar and Trust Company will be closed to-day. The dividend of fifty cents per share OB the capital stock of the Charleston Gaslight Com? pany will be paid on and after to-morrow. The Republicans think that they should have a daily paper in Charleston to represent theil interests. A banner will be presented to day to the Union ttar Fire (colored) Company at the corner of Bogard and St. Philip-street9. It is reported that a barouche, with four horses, has been secured for the Mayor and Al? derman T. J. Mackey to ride in in the proces? sion to day. Hardly trae. Herr Lengel, the lion tamer, has so far re? covered from his wound received from a lion in New Orleans last April, as to be able to walk about th J Pavilion Hotel, where he has been confined to his bed for about ten days. The United States flag was tang to the breeze from the staff* of the City Hall and Guardhouse yesterday in honor of the 4th. The shipping generally displayed their bunt? ing. Officer W. T. Lovett, of the detective force, will most probably be the next Clerk of the Market. If he be as good a clerk as he ia a de? tective, no one will regret his election. The national salute was fired at twelve M. yesterday from field pieces on Citadel Groen. The steamer Emily, which me' ^s an excur? sion around the harbor thia morning, will sail from Commercial wharf instead of Atlantic wharf, as first announced. It is ieportcd that Alderman Geddings, with other members of tho Council, held a caucus, Saturday night. (?11 tho dark) on tbe step< of tbe Fireproof Building, and res ?lved to vote for Major Willoughby for Clerk* of Council, and Mr. F. C. Milior f r City Inspector. A 1 ttle white boy, who bas been playing truant since Monday hst, was arrested by tbe detectives, y sterday,, for being engaged in the crowd that injured a white boy by throwing bim overboard. Some think that it was only done m sport. Yesterday morning, during the sermon of Rev. Mr. Mouzon, at the Trinity Methodist Church, a drunken soldier star cd towards the pulpit and otherwise so misconducted himself that he had to bs removed from the edifice by force, Officer Lovett, wbo happened tobe pres? ent, laking him in charge. As the truck of Hook and Ladder Company, No. 1, w? s bei op taken out of the bouse during the alarm ot Uro Saturday night, the main pole connecting the fore and hind wheels was snap? ped, and will have to be repaired. Tho colored fire companies will parade this afternoon, but the Comet company will bo tbe only one that will have their apparatus out.
