N. flashes, the City As? sessor, still persists in holding on tonis office, which action doubtless contents P. J. Coogan, the "duly elected and qualified," who walks around doing: .. nothing, and draws the "stamps." Tbs Mayor wont get into the trap laid by Alderman Mackey, by calling upon the police to eject the refractory officer. STBXET LAMPS vs. POLICEMEN.- The people want an efficient and an economical manage? ment of city affairs. "We can db with mt any increase of the ponce force-especially such an increase as Council woakl be likely to decree; bat we db want more light on the streets or the city to squelch the rogase and vagabonda who delight in deeds of darkness. Give us more street lamps. ? ELECTION.-At a meeting of the Ftremasters held bi pursuance of a resolution adopted by Council on Friday night last, the following officers were elected: George L.

At the drag store of Mr. Bia >k maa, on Broad-elreet, where it is generally very cool' and . pleasant, the thermometer at two o'clock stood si ninety eight. The citizens in other places are also enjoying this weather. In Columbia, Sunday, tho thermometer stood at one hundred and six (n the shade. BcsxEOED.-The report in rax NEWS, yester? day, to toe effect that the police force was to Le increased, had a wonderful effect. By seven A. M. negroes commenced to isaemble m the vicinity of the polio J barracks, an 1 by nine -o'clock there wore OT?T five hundred able-bodied negro men there, easb one ready to press his clai ms for a position as private. This crowd, with reinforcements, will doubtless assemble every morning until the members of it ascer? tain whether or not their olaims stand any chance, It is bat justice to say that about twenty of the crowd collected, hoping to ob? tain employment as labor?is, a report that the City Inspector intended giving oat work luv jng been oircniated. THE COMSTON COUNCIL. Hore Election?-The nigh School, Alms Hons?, and Charleston Callase- Col? lins va. Mackey- Barrow Philosophises on Chimneys, and Small Loses Him? self amona; " de Contra ps" of the Wards. With the thermometer at 125 degrees, the temperature ladeu with aroma from Africa fragrant fountains, and perspiration "still so gently o'er'e u stealing,"like a million of mini? ature cataracts, tho curtain rose again last night upon another act in the magnificent farce, "How we Radicals Govern Charleston," which has thus far afforded such screaming delight to mankind generally. There was little change in the scenery or ad? juncts -color of all shades, from the pore Cau? casian to the donseBt hue of nigritude, being represented among the spectators, and many of the spectators in turn representing that hungry ambition to hil some office, "be it ever BO humble," whieh of late years makes it fash? ionable for a man to forget virtue, decency, honor, morality and truth. Tho chamber was well filled, bat not crowd? ed; a dozen street laborers and small con? tractors occupying places near the entrance; tho velvet chairs and louages being fi led by the blackest of Ethiopians, fanning merciless? ly, and th3 rear of the hall, around the chair of the May jr, occupied by not a few curious Visitors, who had dropped in for the nonce to see the show, lt was somewhat noticeable that the highly colored individuals were chief? ly ranged upon one aide of the room, wbile those who were not so much so marked their aristocracy of complexion by persistently hug? ing the other. About quarter to nine Mayor Pillsbury as? cended his throne, and in five minutes there? after there was a solemn semi-circular array of Aldermen in his front, who, with'becoming -gravity, awaited the issues of the hour. Present-Aldermen Geddings, Cunningham, Potter, Collins, Greene, Hampton, T. J. Mackey, E. W. M. Mackey, Thorne, Wall, Small, Howard, Holloway, Voigt, Brown, McKinlay and Barrow. The Mayor announced that the unfinished business on hand was the election, first, of a Board of Supervisors for the High School; se? cond, of a Board of Commissioners for the Alms House,'and Third, of three Trustees of | Charleston Coll ?ge. Alderman Collins said be would like to make a few remarks, which tbe Mayor replied he might do if he would be brief, for it was very warm; whereupon Collins proceeded to state that' he had prepared a ticket which would give the Council a full dose of the Mackeys, but he bad discovered that the law required the tux citizens elected as Superna ors of the High School to be trustees of the Charleston College, and consequently that his plan was a fizzle. He would, however, announce that he himself wa* not a candidate. The Council then proceeded to the election of _ supra viso as or THE DOH SCHOOL, with the following result: Hon. H. D. Lesesne, IT; Hon. George S. Bryan. 17; Ber. C. C. Pinck ney, 17; Hon. Geo. Buist, 17; CF. Burk my er, 16; T. J. Mackey, 16; Charles Yoigt, 17; J. D. Geddings, 12; Bichar? Yeadon, 9; A. G. Mackey, 8; M. H. Collins, 5; J. P. Greene, 3. The Mayor stated that the first eight gent le? rnen named had been duly elected. Alderman Yoi gt called attention to the fact that A. G. Mackey was not eligible ander the ordinance, which required that six of the Su perrisors of tbe Hi?h School should be tras? tees of the College. Alderman Collins. I pres?me 1 am to blame for his nomination. Bat the Mackey stock got np so high at the last meeting, I thought I would pat lt ap a little higher still. The Mayor said there were yet to be elect ad two trastees and one more Alderman. Alderman Voigt nominated Richard Yeadon. Alderman T. J. Mackey nominated Alderman J. F. Greene. Alderman T. J. Mackey nominated Wm. Mc? Kinlay. - Bots declined the honor, Alderman Collins. I also request my friends not to cast a single complimentary vote for j roe, for I shall positively decline to serve if elected. Alderman Small, colored. I rise to de quest un for information if Mr. Bryan am one ob de Tr oat y a ob de High School? The Mayer. H? has already bees elected. Alderman Small, wisely. Ef das so, das all all right, an de board am satisfied. Alderman Geddings insisted that Mr. C. F. Borckmyer, who had been elected, was not a trustee ot the college, he having never met bim in that capacity. The Mayor replied that be must b9 so, for bis name was in the Almanac. Council thea proceeded to a second ballot, which resulted as follows: Richard Yeadon, 6; Alderman Thorne, 1; Alderman McKinl *y, 9; Alderman fcrown 1; G. L. Cunningham, 1; J. F. Greene. 8; Daniel Bavenel, 1. There being DO election, a third ballot was had, which resulted as follows: B. Yeadon, 16; Alderman Greene, 16; Alonzo J. White, 2; D. Raven cl, 1. The Mayor announced that Messrs. Yeadon and Greene were daly elected. Council thea proceeded to ballot for COMJUSSIONEBS OF THE ALKS HOUSE. The following is the vote: General W. Gur? ney, 19; Bobcrt Howard, Sr., colored, 18; Jo? seph Dothage, 18; W. McKinlay, colored, 19; Philip Thorne, colored, 18; L. F. Wall, colored, 10; B. 8. Hampton, colored, 18; E. W. M. Mackey. 17; T.

Collins, 7. Tbe following Aid armen were nominated by A dorman Voigt Trastees of Charleston Col? lege, and elected: L. T. Potter. 17; G. I. Cun? ningham, 17; J. D. Geddings, 12. Scatering votes: E. W. M. Mackey, 8; E. P. Wall, L EEG OX AR BU: I* ESS. Tho Mayor announced that the Council would now proceed with business in the regu? lar order, and the fol owing PETinof?, AO., were read. Petition of C. H. Harbers to erect certain buildings. Petitioa of James Melvin, City Contractor, praying to be relieved of certain penalties im? posed apon hun for default, and asking an investigation of his case. Alderman Cunningham moved its reference to a special oommittee. The Mayor appointed Messrs. Cunningham, E. W. M. Mickey and WalL Alderman Mackey desired to withdraw. Alderman Collins. Oh no, stay, stay, I tell yon a mouse could n't poke his nose where a Mackey could go. The Mayor laid before Council a communica? tion from the Board of Fuemasters, announc? ing the result of the election by that body. [Published elsewhere.] Received as inform i tion. BILLS. Alderman T. J. Mackey mttoduce 1 a bill de? fining the duties of City Coroner, w?ic'i re? ceived ita fir st roadiag.% nd ordered to b'> print? ed. The bill fixes the official b.iud at $?00; the fees to be the same as tho^e of the Couniy coroner. The same Alderman also introduced a bill to organize and regulate a detective police force, vf bicu received rs first reading and Was order? ed to be printed. It provides for the appoint? ment of ono lieutenant at a salary of $1000 per annual, and six men at a salary of $720 each, the lieutenant to be nominated and elected by Council; the men to be appointed and removed by the lieutenant, subject to the approval of the Mayor. Thc bill to amend an ordinance entitled an ordinance lo es'ablish the office of Chimney Con'i actor, was read a second time. Alderman Barrow thought there should be some equality about the thing-that is, the bond of a contractor up town should not be so large as that ot a contractor down town, where there are more cb ?mmes. The greater the risk the bigger the bond-that is whit he con? tended for. Alderman E. W. M. Mackey desired to know whether he had counted the cbimnies & ->d could fix a price. Barrow said no-bat he would suggest $1000 for the thickly settled wards and $500 for the thin settlements. Besides, these contracts were to be given out to the poor men of the Republican party, and the bonds ought to be reasonably low. Alderman Small, colored. Is not de bill in ? conference wid de ole style ? Ef de ole bon' ben four tousand dollar, I would 'gree ou dis grono' DJ divide de ward into contracts of a touBond dollar each, which would dc de justice to de contractor and mek bim responsible to his du ieB. I claim dat dat is de rights ob de queshun. De gentium talk 'bout de up town and do down town ward, but in my judgment do m y fire brek out down town de mo' he bun, bekasedare mo' chimuies. Alderman Barrow. I would like to - Alderman T. J. Mackey. I call the Alderman to order; he has spoken twice on the same subject. Alderman Small. I want to answer de gent? ium sum mo'. Alderman Barro-. I call him to order. I was compelled to set down. Alderman Small. I bab de flo, and I say dat ef de town be divided into con traps, den I 'gree wid de gentium dat de bon' be reduced 'cord? ing to de number of chimuies, and dat five hunderd dollar am enuf for de wards wbar de cbimnies am not so much. On motion of E. P. Wall, $2000 was stricken oat as tbe amount of the bond, and $500 in? serted. The bill then passed. The Mayor announcod that the following offi? cials bad obtained sureties, which were sub? mitted to the approval of Council: Clarenoe Levy, Gauger of Liquors, $2000 bond; sureties, Henry Cobia and Lewis D. Mowry. Thonas B. Chapman, Lieutenant of Police, $1500 bond; sureties, Wm. Whaley and John Barry. Joseph P. Howard, Coroner, $500 bond; sure? ties, Robert Howard, Sr., and James Vidal. William N. Taft, Lieutenant of Police, $1500 bond; sureties, J. H. Jenks, Thomas Caragber and B. Foley. William E. Burke, Measurer of Lamber; sureties. Charles F. Walker, Peter Mazyck Pa? tience Paoley. George Addison, City Sheriff, $20,000 bond; sureties, Robert Hunter, M. tl. Collins, M. Caulfield and P. Brady. Alderman T. J. Mackey moved that as the Sheriff's bond was so large and be would be the custodian of a large amount of money, bis bond and sureties should be referred to a special committee of three. Alderman Collina said be hoped tbe motion would prevail, and if they could only extend the operations of the committee as far as the Customhouse, they would find that the insuffi? ciency of his bond was one of the reasons why a certain person had recently been removed from office. Alderman E. W. M. Mackey stated that one of the richest men in Charleston was on the bond of the late Collector. It was not a straw bond such as was given by one of the sureties of the Sheriff. Alderman Collins. If I remember the pro? ceedings of the Legislature, straw bonds we at a premium a little while ago. The motion was not agreed to. The bonds were all approved by the Council, and Mr. Addison, the Sheriff elect, was then qualified. There being no other business, Council, on motion of Alderman Cunningham, adjourned. UNITED STATES CO CUT, JULY 13.-HOM. GEO. 8. BET cv, JUDGE, PUKSIDLVO.-Tho following busiubss was di s po sud of to-day: In the case of B. N. Miller, of Edgefleld, J. M Miller was appointed assignee.

Some of the citi? zens who hare bad their attention called to the matter as fert th it not more than one-half there do any work, and justly complain that tho citizens should be taxed to pay the hire of negroes employed to do work, bul who instead of being employed are loitering in and around the Courthouse, interfering with those who hare business there and eren interrupting those of the workmen who are faithfully per? forming their duty.

C., a flourishing town in Barnwell County, on tb.3 line of the South Ca? rolina Railroad, purchased lately a hand fire engine, which waa at one time attached to the Fire Department of this city. Needing some repairs to make her first-class, she was plsced in the bands of that superior machinist, Mr. C. C. Wightman, who has given ber a thorough overhaul and placed ber in a condition of use? fulness which cannot but be satisfactory to our friends in the interior. Her bill of repairs, which was necessarily large, was, we are pleased to learn, mostly paid by some of the merchants of oar city largely engaged in com? mercial transactions with that thriving section of our State. She was dispatched to her des? tination, yesterday, by the South Carolina Bail road free of charge. ALDERMAN MACXXT'S Two EDGED SWORD ONX EDOE BAS COT.-The resolution of Alder? man T. J. Mackey, adopted at the last meeting of Council, authorizing the Mayor to call upon the police force to eject all of the city officers who refused to yield their offices to their duly elected and qualified successors, is like a two edged sword, intended to ont both ways; bat it also cats ooo way, even if let alone, If the Mayor had used force to ejeot the officers, he would of course hare secured the ill will of | themselves and their friends. As he has re? fused to take adrantage of the resolution, the "duly el ected and qualified" and their friends are disgusted, and will not rote for him at the next election or support his policy now. Afraid to grasp the two-edged sword tendered to him by Alderman Mackey, he let it alone and has been badly cut-or at least will be at the next election. ALDEBMANTO SUPPER G?TES BY JOSEPH H. JEBES-FORMAL BUBTTNO OF THE HATCHET.' On Monday night there was a sound of revelry at a house on George-street, inhabited ty the Mayor and bis stepson, Joseph H. Jenks, who had giren a supper to the Board of Aldermen. THE NHWS learns that all of the members of the Board, excepting Small and McKinlay (both colored,) wore presen t. Eren the leader of theMaokeyites was there. It Whs a grand affair, and passed off harmoniously, notbing oc? curing to mar the enjoyment of any one ex? cepting once, when Alderman Brown, colored, with ere at gravity, put on his spectacles and rolled up his tleeves preparatory to pitching into the good thums set before bim, which ac? tion at first created a slight consternation among some of tbe timid Aldermen, who thought that somotbing had displeased their brother member, and he was bent upon pitch? ing into things generally. It wero au idle task to attempt to write up a description of the feast, record all the toasts and speeches; all ca? imagine the Mayor proposing "God Sare the State," and Alderman Brown appro? priately replying, m his usual eloquent man? ner, with "My name is Norval, on the Grampian Hills my father feeds his flock." Briefly, tho afiair was a sucoess; the City In spec or cut a big slice out ot his $1000 per an? num to furnisH the entertainment; tbe Mayor was happy, and both factions agreed to bury the hatchet and proolaim to the world that "Council is at peace." DEATH OP AN OLD CITIZEN.-Mr. John Sam? uel Peake, one of tbe oldest adopted citizens of South Carolina, died at bis residence in Sum? merville on Monday lost, in the eighty-third year of his age. He was tbe sixth son of Michael Peake, of Colehurst, near Market Drayton, in tho County of Salop, England, and was born Decomber 15, 1786. Ho came to Charleston in 1807, sixty-two years ago, and engaged in bnsiue.-s. On March 12, 1811, he married Jane Ewing-oldest daughter of Mr. Adam Ewing, merchant of this city, aua tive of Renfrew, Scotland-by whom be had eight children. Subsequently Mr. Peake with? drew from business, wbicu he had followed with considerable success, and planted in St. John's holleton for many years. Baring lost his first wife, he married Miss Susan Town? send, and wi h her removed to Alabama about the year 1835. By his second wife Mr. Peake had two children. In 1866 he returned to South Carolina, and lired in Sommerville until his death. Mr. Peake was a mau of shrewdness and de? cision in business, and with him planting was a labor ot love. Botany was bis favorite study, and the zeal with which he cultivated choice varieties of plants aud flowers was only equal? led by the success which attended his efforts. Amiability was a marked Irait of his charac? ter, and throughout his long life he was emi? nently an honest, upright and courteous man and a law-abiding citizen. Troops of trien s remember bira with affectionate regret, and mourn tho sudden close of a life filled with quiet usefulness, and au old age adorned by erery domestic virtue. Tho luneral serricei of Mr. Peake take place at Summerville to-day. Peace to his ashes. CRUMBS.-It has been suggested that a nura calliog at the City Inspector's office this morn b?r. ot color- d tren may find employment by .lng, w hem ty wish to have buried the petty jealoueies and anger which were cast out of the base ma Of the Aldermen on Monday night nader the mellowing, happy, influences of the wine furnished by the Inspector. While they are about it, you had better have that hatchet buried deeper, Mr. Inspector. The newly elected officers aided the Alder? men in disposing of Joseph H. Jenks' supper. Alderman Holloway, colored, although "feel? ing better" since he put some of Jenks' supper beneath his belt, 'still asserts that the party he ' voted with was guilty of treachery ia not electing bis soo. Two or three drunkards were disposed of by the Mayor, yesterday. The County Sheriff, County Commissioners, and others in "high places," were besieged by negroes, yesterday, who desired to be re? commended for policemen. Only eight hours' work per day will hereaf? ter be required from United States Govern? ment employees. M. Caulfield gives notice in another column that he h as commenced bis duties as Flour In? spector. BUSINESS NOTICES.
