THU ELOPER RETURNS. His Wit? T arrernte aaa to ? Doetor'a Bill on. the W?n?i wno Indme* kia te item Aw?f The elopement of Richard Murphy with a yoaag woman wto has_a devoted husband in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and regularly sends her a portion of his hard-earned wages, has been the town talk for the last two days, every one who thought much abeut it being convinced that he had gone "never more to return." But not so. About six o'clock last afternoon ths deteo tives were notified tbat Murphy, accompanied by the yoong woman, had come down from Branchville, on the South Carolina Railroad, wdbin seven miles of Charleston, and there they had gotten off. he swearing he would walk into the city. Mrs. Murphy was notified ot his proximity to the city, and securing a carriage drove around to the db tee ti ve offi?e. After learning all that could be gained from the de tectives, she sent fer Magistrate Mackey, who came, and she desired to know what was to done to punish the womao, she stating that her husband was always good to her-he had it was true, in this and another instance, been unfaithful to his allegiance; but it was her f >ult, as she hld inadvertently put the tempta tioD in his way by hiring attractive women serve about the house, and, therefore, Bbc did not want to prosecute him. The magistrate, after inquiring into the caso gave it as bu opinion that the woman had done nothing except enticing Murphy off, and there was no law to punish women for that nothing conld be oone in the matter. Mrs. Murphy listened impatiently to this de o inion, and then jumped up and started for the earriage, remarking as she did so : "I guess had better attend to tbn business myself; PD go out in the carriage and meet them, and I'll leave a doctor's bill upon that woman that come between me and my husband.? [Note. It ia supposed that Mrs. Murphy meant by the expression "leave a doctor's bill," etc., that she would go for the woman and leave her such a condition as would require the attend ance of a physician, and consequently have bill to pay.J The last seen of Mrs. Murphy she was in carriage with a male friend being rapidly driven oat of the city, evidently on the road to meet her erring husband and the "naughty naughty" woman. THE POLICE FOEOX-WILL FT BE ?OEGAN? DED ?-A bill will be introduced at the meeting of Giancil on Tuesday night next, having for tts object the reorganization of the police force. The pr?sent force consista of fifty day and fifty night police, the latter of whom ere not at all available daring the day in case, of an emargenoy. The bill to be introduced provides that the force be increased to one hundred and twenty-five men, who will constitute both the night and day police, dispensing altogether with the present system of night watchorn. TEX 8 A VANS A H CLUB WILL HOT COKE Io ni?. Tn NEWS of yesterday stated that President "McCabe, of the Carolina Club, who bad gone to Savannah to make arrangements for the Sa? vannah Club to come here and play the second game, had telegraphed to his dob to meet the Savannah boys at the steamer Dictator's wharf to-day. At twelve o'clock Thursday night another telegram (wtich, however, was not opened by the person to whom it was addressed until yesterday morning) was received stating that a meeting; of the Savannah Club bad jnst be6D concluded, and they had resolved not to come to Charleston until (bo Carolina Club paid them a visit. SUFFER.-There was a festive gathering at the engine house or the Marion Fire Company last night-the members and a few invited guests being there assembled to partake of a lavishly supplied feast of good things to drink and eat, furnished to the company by the Messrs. Goldsmith aa a mark of their apprecia? tion of the services rendered by them during the late fire, which consumed their turpentine still on Rai Ire ad Accommodation wharf.. It W'll be remembered that during this fire the Marion Company was on an opposite wharf with ?boat thirty yards of deep water be tween. It was found necessary to carry the hose over to the Railroad wharf, and % boat not being ac batid, Messrs. E1 war J Powers, John Gillespie and John Cameron took the hose, swam across with it, and did effective servioe in saving the property on the wharf. i THS .ECLIPSE THIS EVENING.- Everybody will be on the lookout for the great solar eclipse which will take place this afternoon. The obscuration, as visible throughout thia State, will not be total; yet jt will be, accord? ing to the astronomers, a phenomenon well worth seeing. A correspondent of the New York Evening Post give? the fo Jo wing method of observing the eclipse: Take a large card with a small round bole in the centre, and hold it against the sun's rays, so that tbe shadow will fall on the fl >or, pave? ment, wall, or other dark and smooth surface. Io the middle of the shadow there will be a true image of the sun, and the eclipse can be studied in its progress without straining tbe eyes, and without smutting face or hands with smoked glass. This simple procsss was sug (rested by the familiar circumstauoe that the ight spots in the shadows, daring a solar eclipse, take tbe shape of the luminous por? tions of the sun's disc, and tbe perforated card has been used with perfect success. THE ALMS HOUSE-NUMB EB OF INMATES.

The following letter from a most reliable gen? tleman aud practical planter in Barnwell Coun? ty, has just been received here by one of our factorage houses, lt is dated BABNWELL, August 4,1869. I regret to have to inform you that the cot? ton crop is much damaged since the rains, by what is termed "French or black rust.'* There ?aa but litt'e appearance ot the disease in this neighborhood on the 2J instant, though I heard of it trom all parts or the district on tbat day. It has appeared generally on crops which sufferod first trom drought, and afterwards had excessive rams. Most of tbe crop? in this d.strict. an i I presume in the 8tate have had 1 the two extremes. Where the seasons have boon good through July, and whero the cotton Wi? plauteJ in May, tue rust has not appeared tuns far. I think my croo \ajll not reach ' muJb, ir any, over one-half of what I planted i for. Ibo oldest of it seems to have lost all or tho July fruit, a.,d some ot that ot Juno. I know ot but few persons who have ever seen "?renca rust" boro befor?. but from all I can learn oj it. aiid from the latineas of tho sea? son, I bavo but lu ile bopo of a top crop on tho diseased cotton, and tho catci.p;i!ar may burt any May cotton which at present looks' quite health.'-. * TETE MTA0KJBT-8AWYER WAE. THE LAST SHOT. The Vs?Colleeeor Commends the Senator to the Demoorafs aa "a Dear Bargain. " Perhape some of tbe readers of THB NEWS mar bave seen tbe long lefter of Senator Saw? yer, in reply to the public onslaught upon bis political record made at a Radi tal meeting a short fame ago by Dr. A. G. Mackey. The fol . lowing rejoinder of tho ex Collector has been seat to us for publication: SENAT/OB F. A. SAWTEB AS A REPUBLICAN. On my return to the city, after a brief visit to Columbia, I found that Senator P.A. Saw? yer had, in a commnmcation published in the Charleston Courier, attempted some sort ol weak, diluted reply to the remarks which I bad uttered on the subject ot his Republicanism in my speech of the 28th of July. In that communication, extending to tho - length of two columns and a half. I have look? ed in vain for any substantial defence against the charges preferred by me. He makes no denial of my charge that he came to this city, originally, as a devout a tourer of the old sba ve power ot the South, and that he was chosen as a teacher by our commissioners, from among bis Xoithern competitors, because such was his character. He Bays nothing of his former or his presen t affihatiops with the Democratic party, flo does not disclaim that his chief counsellor at this day ia a leading Democrat ol' this city. Aad he takes especial care to bo silent about my allusions to his .'sharp practice" ia reference to the billa ot the Bank of the SUte. Instead ol this, which alone would bavo been relevant to tho subject of discussion, he in? dulges in a strain of personal invective and scurrility, in which as a "Carolina gentlemen" (a term which he applies to me with ? sinister malice,) I cannot attempt to compete with him. I presume theta "Massichusotts eeo tlemao" would be as adverse as myself to tho us3 of such weapons, borrowed from the arm? or v of Billingsgate. His only attempt, except by unsupported as? sertions, to placo himself in the Republican ranks, is by an appeal to the record ot how he stood in the rebellion. Tbia certainly has nothing to do with bis claim to Republicanism now. But I apprehend that if he bad at tho time belonged to that party, be would have been found, at the very commencement of the rebe'Uou, rather in the army of the republic, righting for the life of the nation, than remain? ing amoug its enemies and picking ap a little addition to bis income by indulging in the un? patriotic business of running the blockade at the expense o! the revenues of the United States, at tbe same time that he gave "aid and comfort" to the Confederacy. Knowing as I did how easily be could have left the city at that time, knowing that he and other Northern meu had been invited by the authorities to depart from the Confede? racy, unies 3 they were willing to become its citizens, and koo wine, toe, that he had no ties of property or kindred to bind him to the State, not only I but some others who saw bis stalwart form and soldierly bearing at tbe Union Club, often thought that he was the right man in the wrong place. If every son ot Massachusetts had been inspired with the feel? ing of loyalty that actuated tho course of Mr. Sawyer, that noble old State would have bad no such glorious record as that which history now gives of its part in crushing the rebellion. I shall make no reply to Mr. Sawyer's de? fence of Mr. Clark. If Mr. Clark is competent to discharge the duties of a collector of cus? toms, he must certainly be able to defend him? self; when be does so (if bo ever does.) it will be time enough for me to pay my compliments to bim. I should like to hear bim deny, in bis own person, the charge, that he sought the nomination of tbe Democratic party for the Mayoralty. Neither shall I be diverted by the scurrilities ot Senator Sawyer into a contest of personal invectives. Mv quarrel is a political one. 1 seek to save the Republican party from the results of his politic tl treachery. In that quarrel, and in that quarral alone, will I fight until the hatti J is lost or won. To but a single sentence of this tirade of abuse will I mane any reply. Mr. Sawyer in? sinuates that I belong to a "little knot of Sonthern-born men who recently prooosed to each other to ignore and put down men not of Soutbern birth." Isnspjct that Mr. Sawyer has here drawn upon bis imagination or his invention. 1 know of no such "knot of Southern born men." and have heard of no such proposition. As far as 1 am concerned, it is simply absurd. The principle wbioh has governed my entire life-a principle wbioh did much to keep me from the heresy of State sov reignty and the sin of secession-is that io this nnited land I recogmza " no North, no Sonth, no East, no W'-st." Every mau, wherever born within our vast do nain, is a citizen of one great empire, entitled everywhere to equal privileges. My warmest aod truest friends at this day in the Bepublican party are men of Northern or Western birth. To me, all honest Republi? cans are the same, no matter from what State they may come. I do not denounce Mr. Saw? yer because Massachusetts gave him birth, but b.'cau-o tbe political course he is here pursu? ing, if pursued at Boston, would meet with the same just retribution that South Carolina will yet award to him. My main charge against Mr. Sawyer is that he is seeking to establish a Conservative party in South Carolina, on the ruins of the Republi? can, by a sale to the Democrats, it they will purchase him. Tho only comprehensible reply to this charge that he makes is contained in the following paragraph of his communication, of which, as an explicit recognition of the truth of my alle? gations, I give bin the benefit of a rep?blica tion. with his own italics. "It is quite time for some Republicans to take notice that the people of South Carolina will give their voices for respectable and upriqht men, who may not be Republicans, rather than for dishonest and disreputable men whose soundness on the party issues m ty be never so sure. The day when partisan soundnesB would offset and outweigh the want of all other requi? sites for preferment has happily gone by, or is now toward its close. If this be Conservatism, let Or. Mackey and his friends make tho most of it." This is Senator Sawyer's first open bid ten? dered to the Democratic party, ll will not, I presume, bo accepted, because it is accompa? nied with somo sort ot weak qualification, which, although it means nothing, the Demo? crats will require to be stricken from the bond. But Mr. Sawyer hos been too keen a specu? lator in blockade stock and m depreciated bank bills to be driven tram the market by a fl rat re? fusal. His next bid will be without the quali? fication. Lot me say to the gentlemen of the Demo? cratic party, that if they should buy the sena? tor at ever so low a price, they will bs making a dear bargain. A. G. MACKEY. DISMISSAL OF THE Quo WABBANTO.-In the case of the State ex rel. Attorney-General, VB. T. J. Mackey-Quo Warranto; same vs. D. Barrow-Piessley, Lord & Inglesby for rela? tors; same vs. J. F. Groece-C. C. Bjwen, B. S. Thorin, for respondents, Barrow and Mack? ey-T. B. Kiag for J. F. Greene, Associate Justice A. J. Willard has delivered in Cham? bers, at Columbia, bis decision dismissing tho Quo Warranto. The points of these cases aro so familiar to onr readers that we deem fur? ther mention unnecessary. TABLES T?BNED.-Jno. Martin, colored, who, as stated by THE NEWS jeaterday, was robbed, as he alleged, by one Jim Hill, colored, had Jim arrested; butas the charge could not bo proven, ho was discharged. John then went to the house of Jim, and meeting his wife, flour? ished his revolver and threatened to lay Jim's treasute np in heavon by shooting her dead. Jim then had John arrestad for committing a breach of peace. John could not give security for his appearance and was committed to jail. As he bas been in the penitentiary, thia confine? ment will not go hard with him. A WOMAN SPLITS A NEGBO'S HEAD OPEN WITH A SEILLBT.-Late on Thursday evening last Mrs. Ann Burke, after some few words with a ucerro nomad (daac Small, flin>w a ?killet at bim which split his head open. Uc was car? ried to tho hospital .md attended to. Yester? day his wife sued out, before Justice Morrison, a warrant tor tho arrest of Mrs. Buri.e. She waa arrested by Officer Alston, colored, and appeared before tho inagiatraio in the after? noon, wuen sito stated that isaac bad been very abusive to bon, bad threatened violence, and that she struck him m bclf-delonco.

The Fillmore suffered some d maee daring its trip to At lanta, which makes it necessary to send the steamer to Hew York for repairs. The detach? ment will reach Charleston in the morning, and ship their machine by the steamer which leaves in the afternoon. Oar Charleston friends most see that our boys are sent back "right side op ^ith cate." CUSTOMHOUSE APPOINTMENTS-THE Newa has already stated that ilesars. Sawyer, Clark and Bowen had decided opon the parties whom they desired to fill the offices in the Custom? house. Among them, we learn, are the follow? ing: John Tourney, boarding officer, vice J. B. Morgan resigned; J. B. Chadwick, foreign en? try clerk, vice T. J. Mackey resigned; F. H. Cannan, coastwise clerk, vice C. L. Beecher resigned; H. Judge Moore, auditor, viccN.

Miller, colored, will be porter to tbe appraisers; Isaac Seed, color? ed, messenger; John Bonum, colored, Dight inspector; J. B. Mushington, colored, day in? spector._ DEATH or CAPTAIN JOHN FEEQUSON.- Oar business community was startled last evening by the announcement of the demise of this well-known and active citizen, who, fer nearly a quarter of a century, bas baen oonnecbed with oar steam coasting and river marine. Captain Ferguson was born ia Dumfries, Scotland, in 1826. and at the age of twenty came to Charleston in a brig owned by his uncle. Having resolved to become a resident of the State, be obtained employment on the steamer Marion, Captain Coates, then engaged in the Peedee trade. By dint of industry and energy he soon became captain and part owner of aa independent steamer, aod eventually secured the entire control of the trade of that river. During the war, he was kept busy sap plying the military authorities with facilities for barber transportation; and since 1866 he has been prominent in the steamer and wharf business of oar city. Indomitable energy was the striking characteristic of his career. His funeral will take plac J from the Glebe street Presbyterian Church, at hair-past four o'clock this afternoon. SEND HES HOME IN A T CHOONEK -RED TAPE. It is reported tbat a few days since hie Mayor bad a woman before bim for vagrancy, and was about to send ber to the asyluu, bul as she plead to be sent to New York, he concluded to comply with her request, as it would relieve the ci?f of the expense of keeping ber, and also because, as she stated, she would be pro? vided for by friends. lo furtherance of this decision, he wrote a short statement of ber case and sent ber with it to Alderman Geddings to get the money ne? cessary to send her off. After awbife she re? turned to the Mayor, belting ia her hand some? thing like a window curtain, which the Mayor, on receiving and opening, found to bo a manu? script from Alderman Geddings, giving the woman's history before and after marriage, (and, as some malici?os ones say, an obitu? ary notice io case the sea voyage did not agree with her,) tho expense of sending her by steamship, steamboat, ship, frigate, bark, schooner, raft, sloop, yawl and "dag-oat," and showing that the cheapest plan was to send her in a schooner. After wading throogh this document, the Mayor wrote a letter to Captain Hendricks, Chief of Police, telling him if he bad a schoon? er at the guardhouse door or elsewhere con? venient, to send the poor woman off in her. She is still here, wo believe. CBUMBS.-The Very Beverend Dr. Berming? ham will officiate in the old Catholio Chapel oo ; Solliran's Island, at eleven o'clock to-morrow morning. The city banda were engaged in mowing tho Mass in tha City Hall Square yesterday. At one tims the City Inspector might have been observed swinging a scythe. Officers Coates and Quinn, yesterday, report? ed that the offal io Smith's Lane, Ward No. 2, had not been rernovecLj)y eleven o'clook. Wm. Darrell, negro, who was recently ap pointed a member of the police force, has been bound over in the sum of $300, to answer for being engageil in the late riot. . It is reported that the children will shortly hold an indignation mooting and pass resolu? tions censoring Alderman Geddings for pre? venting them from playing in the squares and parks of the city. Rev. Dr. Hicks will preach in the St. John's Lutheran Church at half-past tea o'clock to? morrow moruing. Mark Reynolds, who, a short timo since, went for F. C. Miller to such an extent as to bruise his face considerably, bas written to Governor Scott a letter, in which he complains that Miller, who was chairman of the County Commissioners, lias been doing everything that he outr h t not to have don?. Eight persons wen committed to jail yes? terday. Fonr is the average per day. THE ORPHAN ASYLUM or THE SISTEES OF MBBOY.-We hear talk of a movement to in duce the State Legislature to appropriate $20, 000 for the repair of the Sisters' Asylum budd? ing, in behalf of which, it will be remembered, assistance was vainly asked from Congress at its last session. Alderman T. J. Mackay, at tho lost regular meeting ol Council, in advo? cating municipal aid to this noble institution, urged tho following strong economic reasons in favor of the measure : There aro three hundred and fifteen children in the Orphan Hmee of tho city, ami yieso have cost during tho six months ending on the 2 ith July last, $18 iSO, or at the rate of $36.160 o r annum, making caob cuild cost an? nually $110 24 100. The Sister* are now supporting in their asy? lum ono hundred mCigeut orphan children. Now. it threo bundled and fifteen cost $36,169, one hunched' children would cost $11479; HO that if they ire compollod to close their asy? lum for the want of the timely aid ot $6000 ask? ed for by the resolution, you will have the one hundred children that the; support added to those ia the Orphan House thus increasing the expenses of tbat institution ell,479. But pass this resolution and keenJhe asylum open, aud vou save to the city the difference between the $600? that you give and tho $11,479 that you would otherwise be torced to expend; in other words, you will save just $5479 per an? num. Tho r?duction in its expenditures for tho present year is due. I understand, to the most rigid retrenchment, and represents the minimum figure at which a child can bo main? tained in that institution, ?ia : $9 18? per mouth. I have preferred to take tho reduced expenditure sa tho basis of my estimate o? wh it thc citv will save by the passage of this rvboiolioa justas I hive set down th-; lowest nombcr ot children that tho Asylant will mo? nde tor with tuc to d thai you are now'asked to give. Iii?! t< solution eilis tt r $C000 for the porpoiC of furnishing food, clothing, ?uolter, ? duca'iijn and ni-'dical attondsnee to one hun dred orphans of tho city lbw one y eui ; this would ba at the rite or $0 per m mili for each child. instead of $11 per month as you pud last year, or $9 18-J p? r month as you are n jw paying in thc Oruuun Bouse.
