IMPORTANT TO BUILDERS. - - On Saturday morn?
ing last four builders were arraigned before
the Mayor, to answer the oharge of violating
a city ordinance in not having fenced in the
scaffolding around the buildings they had in
course of erection. After a great deal Of talk?
ing the Mayor deo'dad that the etty, ordinance

UNACCOUNTED POR.-For about an hoar Fri
.slay night there were plainly hjard in the city
reports of heavy guns in qntck succession, tt
was generally believed that the firing was from
some vessel in distress. We learn that the
steamer Emthe pu to sea about 8 A. M. Sat?
urday, with a view ot rendering assistance in
case it was nodded. Hbo returned <t 6 o'clock,
having seen nothing. The steamships which
arrived Saturday report nothing unusual, and
the caudo of tho tiring yoi remains a mystery.
THE CHAMPION. -Thia fine steamship, of tbe
Adger line, arrived at thu port at an early hoar
on Saturday morning. The Champion sailed
from N9w York on Saturday, the 81st ultimo,
but broke her crank-pin off the Capes of Dela?
ware, and put back to Mew York. A new pin
waa turned and put in plaee, and the ship sailed
?gain on Wednesday afternoon,arriving on Sat?
urday, as staled. The trip waa a plaisant one
in every respect, and the passengers-all of
whom with one exception, remained aboard
fi ora Saturday, the 81st,to Saturday hist-bi? bly
appreciate the m ?ny attentions shown them by
-the officers of the ship. Cap t. B. W Look wood
was, as ever indefatigable io his devotion
to his duties, and to his skilful seamanship and
great energy lt ts mainly dna that tho accident
already mentioned o .used no alarm,and that the
Champion was noon in a positio . to make .an
other start for Charleston. The Championats
charged ncr cargo on Saturday, took aboard
tbe freight which was a*ai< lng. her, and. sa ilea
jesterday for New Yorx with a cr^wd of passen?

The account ia Saterday's If HW? of ike re
tarn ot Richard Murphy, who left bi? wife and
Ave ohildren, eloped with a young married
woman who had beee in hie emptor, remained
away two dajs and returned within seven miles
of the city on tho South Carolina Railroad
train Friday afternoon, cloged with the state?
ment that Mrs. Murphy bad left in a carrhuro
for tho place where ber husband was lost seen,
being bent, as she stated, apon attending to
the matter herself without the aid of the law,
and leaving a doctor's bill upon the woman
that had come between her and her husband,
meaning thereby that she would so for tho
woman and leave her in such a oondi'ion aa
would require tba attendance of a physician,
and consequently make ber have a bill to pay.
When Murphy and the woman got off of the
c&ir at thc SCTC" m>lc puuSp, it wss rs?cmg very
bard; but nothing daunted, they started to
walk to town-ho evidently believing that it was
best to mako gradual approaches upon the oity
wherein lived his deserted wife, whom, he had
no doubt, was very angry.
at the Four mile pump ho W.\B very muoh
surprised to be accost cd >y his wife, who bad
como op in a carriage. She. without any pre ?
liminary conversation, commenced to use no
very complimentary language to tho woman,
ani at tho same time looking as if she intend?
ed to oarry her threat into execution. The wo?
man, not desiring to withstand an assault from
tho wife sin had doao so much injury to, and
have a doctor's bill loft upon her, field from tho
wrath whioh was evidently to come. Mrs. Mur?
phy then endeavored to persuade her husband
to return to his home, promising to let the past
be a blank. Thia he refused to do, and would
not even ride into the oity with ber, but pur?
sued his way on foot. At last accounts he was
walking about the oity, telling those who re?
quested him to go home that he would go
when bo-pleased.
TUB SOLAB ECLIPSE.-Punctual to the timo
announced in tho almanac, tho eolipse. of the
sun took place on Saturday afternoon. Tho
weather was fine, and that portion, at least, of
the heavens in which the performance was to
take pla oe, waa as cloudless as could be wish?
ed. F sr at least half of an hour after the
eclipse began, there was no perceptible dimi?
nution of the sunlight. Bo h?tense is the light
of the san that one-sixth of its disc, remaining
uoeolipaed, will give out rays enough to read
or work by with ease. About six o'clook, how
ever, the obscuration bad become sufficient to
be generally noticed, the light being
of a strangely palo and sickly hue,
and of about the power of that usu
ally soon at early twilight. Multitudes
of gazers were seen everywhere, ot win?
dows, on piazsas, in the streets and on the bat?
tery, most of them armed with smoked or col?
ored glasses, opera glasses or perforated cords
After six o'clook the hght rapidly recovered its
power, a id before seven had become as power
fbi as it usually is at that hour. The perform?
ance on the whole, though strictly ooirect, and
according to Miller, was geaerally voted by
those who watched it a disappointment and a
bore.
Our neighbors -in North Carolina enjoyed a
total eclipse, and that the readers of THE Nxws
may know what it was like, we copy the follow?
ing from the Wilmington Journal of yester
day :
No sight of more sublimity or grandeur
oould possibly have been imagined iban the
eclipse presented yesterday. Business was for
-th? timo suspended, and every inhabitant,
large and small, gazed with silent awe upon
this wonderful phenomenon, one of the grand?
est on record. The very breath seemed sus?
pended during the total phase, and the mag?
nificent sight was witnessed with feelings im?
possible to describe. Admiration, awe, won?
der, curiosity and delight were all singularly
blended, and the scene was well calculated to
awaken such feelings.
At a few minutes past five o'clock the eolipse
commenced. Those who watohed its progress
through smoked glasses oould see the body of
the moon gradually shotting out the bright
circle of the sun, and casting its shadow upoa
the earth. In abont thirty minutes the san
was h ?If eclipsed, and ata few minutes past
six o'clock the eclipse was total. lu the mean?
time the earth grew daik, and as the light of
day became obscured by this premature dark?
ness, the atmosph?re grew cool and a chilly
feeling swept over us. Thu thermometer fell
four degrees, and the wonderful change was
everywhere apparent, and evea the chickens
began lo prepare for sleep, and actually went
to roost. The darkness was that ot early night,
but not so great as actual night lighted bv the
moon, lt seemed a premature and unnatural
darkness, and one that oould be felt. -I
The total eolipse laste i for the space of
three minutes. The sieht was one then toi
the naked eye. The body ot the moon fully
obscured tho sun, and around its edge was a
crimson oircle from whioh mellow rays shot
forth. Upon the lower edge of the moon ap?
peared a considerable spot or gap, through
which a deadened light was seen. In other
parts of this planet and within the circle were
to be seen two or three small spots through
which tho light penetrated as through a veil.
Several stars made their appear ance bright in
the heavens and the firmament denoted night.. |
While the ga ze ot all humanity was thus fixed
the BUD boc;an to emerge from the eolipse.
Tho first flash of his bright and golden rays
appeared suddenly, and he seemed rapidly to
emerge from the shadow. The dazzling effect
?as not immediate, but that portion of the
sun's surface first see i appeared like ; liquid
fire, and rays shot forth beautiful and in tbe
heighth of splendor. Seen with the naked eye
this liquid fire, os it were, seemed in commo?
tion, sud it waa au optical delusion with Borne
for so instant, that the two heavenly bodies
bad come in contact and one was consomma the
other. And the sight was graodly sublime
and the wonders bf the works of God were folly
manifested to our awe-stricken gaze.
The passage of the sun from eolipse seemed
quite rapid and soon interest was tost. Tho J
earth resumed its'wonted appearance, the air
again warmed, the pulpe of nature was renew?
ed, and the cheerful light of day reappeared.
8oieotifio mea ali over the line of country in
which the eclipse was visible-have made ex?
tensive observations, and will publish them for
tu? u??rui Ol ui? W???u. Th ? wppeafauce of
the moon was no doub accurately photograph?
ed for preservation. In witnessing th.? sight
our age ard generation ha? been extremely
fortunately. ? t

TO TB* BflTOB OF TBB NE Vfw,
I am rel nd an t to aek your apaoo for a bri ? f re?
joinder ta tho ar tole of Dr. A. O. Mackey in
TEDI N HWS and Cxmrier of tito Teh i ns tan t. Bat
t fa oro aro -er tain ptat arnon ta therein which re?
quire notice, not because they will airest me
here, but m ,y mislead those who are not as
conversant as my immediate follow-oitisma are
of the facts.
In commenting on my communication of
August 9 Dr. Mackey says s
" In i hat communication, extending te thc
length ot two column* und a half. I have look?
ed m vain ter any substantial defence against
the charges preferred by me. Mo mikes no
denial ot my charge that he oame to this city,
originally, as ? devout admit er of the old niara
power of the Knuth, and that, he was chosen
as a teacher by our commissioners, from
among hin Wort horn Competitors, becatuo such
was bis character.
"He says nothing of his former or present
affluatious with the Denncratio party. He does
not disclaim that hts chief counsellor at thin
day ts a loading Democrat of this city. And
he takes especial cora to bv? silent about my
allusions to his . sharp practice * in referen oe
to the billa of tho Banx of the State."
To this I reply :
1st. That it is no secret that when I carno to
South Carolina I was a. Democrat of what was
known aa the "Douglis BOROO);" never an
"Admirer,1* ..devout" or otherwise "oi the old
slave power ot the (louth.*'nor iu any other
souse a pro-slaverv ma i than as Deina willing
to oide by the Constitution of tho United
Mt ates so far ne it related to slavery.
2-i. That I competed with nobody for the
position to wu.ci I was invited; but that I ac?
cepted the place when tendered to me without
solicitation or seeking ot? mv part. What mo?
tives governed tho commissioners m giving
that invitation, is better kuewn to tb em than
to met 1 very naturally waa OOHvmoed by theil
action that they thought me flt f<* my duties.
3d. Tbeie was no need for me to say any?
thing about "present affiliations with the Dem?
ocratic party ;" for I have had no such "affilia?
tions" since 186*0. No act or word, done oi
spoken by me, shows a particle of evidence o>.
such a charge.
4th. I have taken no couosel in polit io a
matters of any D?mocratie leader sm co nu
abandonment of the Democratic party iu 1860
Dr. Hacker's assertion is a bise slander. EU
should be aware that there are Bepublioani
who neither betr ty nor propose to betray thoii
party, and who yet are not personally si
odious to, or malignant toward, their politioa
opponents as to forbid social or business rein
tions.
5th. I said nothing about "sharp practice
in c onnection with the bills of tbe Bank of thc
State, for the obvious reason that no suoh prac
tice existed on my pirt. I saw no oonneotioi
between that subject and my aotton iu regari:
to the oolleotorship of thia por , and though i
may bo consonant to Dr. Mackey's ideas c
what belongs to a "Carolina gentleman" t
drag into this discussion purely private al
fairs, and though, so far as I am concern?e
the whole world may know the history of m
relations to the Bank ot the State, I,regarde
the allnsim to the matter aa completely out c
place in Dr. Mackey's speech, as it would b
for me to say in chis letter that Dr. Meeki
did not pay tor his family flour, were such th
fact.
Dr. Mackey continues:
"Instead of this, whiob alone would bai
boen relevant to the subject of discussion, I
indulges in s strain of personal invective as
scurrility, in which, as a 'Carolina genllemar
(a term which he applies to me with a aimsti
malice) 1 cannot attempt to compete with hin
1 presume that a 'Massachusetts gentlema:
would be as adverse as myself to the uso <
such weapons, borrowed from the armory i
Billingsgate.
''His only a tempt, except by uusupportt
assertions, to place himself in the Repuolic?
ranks, ia by an appeal to the record of bow I
stood in the rebellion. This certain ly has re
thing to do with bis claim to Bepublioanis
now. Bot I apprehend that if be had at tl
time belonged to that party, he wonld hat
been found, nt the very commencement of tl
r?bellion, ratho* in the army Ol tile rapuoii
fighting for the life of tho nation, than remai
lng among ita enemies and picking up a litt
addition to bis income by~ indulging in th?? n
patriotio business of running the blockade
the expense of the revenues of the Unit
States, at the same time that he gave 'aid ai
comfort' to the Confederacy. Knowing as Id
how easily he could have left the city at th
time knowing that be and other Northern m
had oeen invited by the authorities to dena
from the Confederacy, unless they were willit
to become its citizens, and knowing, too, tb
he had no tiea or property or kindred to bi
him to the State, not only I, but some othe
who saw his stalwart form and soldierly bet
lng at the U ion Club, often thought that
was the rigbt man in the wrong place. If ev?
sou of Massachusetts had been inspired wi
the feeling of loyalty that actuated the oom
of Mr. Sawyer, that noble old State would he
had no such glorious record as that whiob ii
tory now gives of its part in crushing the :
bellion."
To whiob I say :
lat. That Dr. Maokey, ia his speech of t
28tb ultimo, as wall as on many other pub
and private occasions, has shown that be h
master in the arts ot ''personal invective" 8
''scurrility." It is therefore with diffidei
that I dissent from an opinion expressed
one who should be so good a judge, and 1
compelled to say that a careful re-reading
my former oommnuication fills to sustain i
charge.
21. I made no "attempt" "lo place mysoli
the Republican ranks,'' "by an appeal to
reoord of how I stood in the rebellion." "Tl
certainly, bas nothing to do with my claim
Republicanism now."
dd. Taw charge ot "aid and comfort to
rebellion by blockade running," is stale I
charge, with others equally onfounded. ?
mide bv Dr. Mackey's friends in Joly, 1868.
fore the United States Seuate, who, witt
the facts before them, with no word of exp]
ation from me to a single senator, refused D
decisive vote even to refer it to a commit*
although the ears of many of them bad b
poisoned, or attempted to be poisoned, by r
who, if not my enemies, were certainly
Mackey s especial friends. The charge
refutation are on the journal of the Senate.
Dr. Mackey wishes to revive it, he ia. nt' lint
to do so.
4.h. There were two good reasons why I
not leave South Carolina and the late so-ea
Confederacy, after the proclamation of
Jefferson Davis. The first, was that c
mg the period of forty' days silo
tor snoh departure, I had two child
very ill, one at the point of death;
parlare with my family would have bat
Shvsieal impossibility without the rial
ea th; departure without my /amity wc
have been inhuman. The second' reason, i
a good reason, waa that I did not recog?
Mr. Jefferson Davis' riebt to dictate to tn
citiaen of tho United 8tates, when or whit
I should remove. Did Dr. Mackey recog?
suoh a right? Why did he not go ?
5th. 1 left the . Confederate States" at
first moment when it was practicable foi
to go.away, and theught, when at the i
night preceding my departure I opened
doors to shelter Dr. Mackey and his faa
who bad been frightened from their cwnhi
by shells, I waa admitting a roan who
more sense of propriety, and more rogart
consistency, than to attemot to cast imo
tiona upon the loyalty of a man for whose li
fatness to the government be himself ha? g
sworn testimony before the courts of the
ted SI at es. But we 11 vo and learn.
Ctn. lt, perhaps is not necessary to tell
body else but br. Mackey that a m in o
hardiv bo m two piaoea at once; but this
account to him for mv not being ia the Ul
States arm?, even nero there not other
good reasons for it.
I quote again :
"I shall make no reply to Mr. Sawyer'
fence of Mr. Clark. It Mr, Clark is comp?
to discharge the duties of a colleotor of
toma, he most certainly be able to defend
self; when be does so (if ha ever dosel it
be time enough for me to pay my complin
to bim. I shoold tike to hear him dany, i
own person, the eharge that he song h
nomination of the Democratic party foi
Mayoralty."
My remarks, in relation to Mr. Clark
in reply to the charge that my influence
boon given to place a Democrat tn office
were entirely germana to the matter,
certain that Mr. Clark is able to defend Lin
and Dr. Mackey dees not deny that he ??i
Mr. Clarie himself that he (Dr. Maok6> >, *
euoport bim fbr tho Mayraltv.
. I call attention to the folio wing :
, "Mr". Hawyer inainuateiTthat I bolong
'little knot of Southern-born men who rec
proposed to each other to ignore and put <
men not of Southern birth.'
- "1 suspect that Mr. Sawyer haa hero d
upon bia imagination or bis invention. I
iii no such ?knot of Southern-born men.
?ave ho ml ot nu such proposition. As f
am concerned, it is simply absrtrd.*
Di* Maokey is swift to deny what I di
afeara?, I ?a.d he ? soeaaod to Ma" of tb? "Ut
tte knot," ?to. I only know that some persons
very near Dr. Mackey, sod ?hose Mts arv
nasally in harmony arith Dr. Mickey's views,
did belong to that "Iittlo knot." lt is pleasant
to know that Dr. Mackey hi ?self has a better
ps'ioy in this matter than some of thoeo who
are generally regarded aa hie exsenouts.
lu ia wnfortunate foi1 the 6*.-tA>l?ootor that
his ooaree bas been such that thoae who aro
hw "warmoet and truest hienas iu the R-pub
1 can partv" aro not thoeo whoas birth and
brooding have been in bia neighborhood. Is
it possible that lh"dO who know him best are
those who least love and esteem him t I
trust not. H tran ?ors often misunderstand ns,
but it is sad, indeed, wbeu thoeo who always
have known"us withhold tho neighborly and
friendly regard vhioh eo sweetenslife.
A few words more, and I will not weary your
patience longer. Dr. Maokey says:
To mo all honest Republicans aro tho same,
no matter from what State they may coane. I
do not deuouuee Mr. Saw ver beoanse Massa?
chusetts gave him butti, but because the po?
litical course he is here pursuing, it pursued at
Bootoo, would meet with the s une jost retri?
bution that South Carolina will yet award to
him."
Mow, in Boston when they have a genuine
Bopublicau as collector, they expect him to
iako hie MU bord mates from the Itepublican
part v. that is just what I wished I>r. Mackey
to do; but he not only would not do this, but
he would insist that men who did cot voto at
nil. or voted the Democratic ticket, or voted
PO secretly .hat nobody fcneto Kow they did voie,
were "good Republicana."
I hope tho Doo'or will not be anxious about
the ..retribution" I shall get. Charity begins
at homo.
I have done. Not willingly havo 1 treepasao 1
thus far on - our snaoe. lhis oloaes tho con?

At a mooting of Howard L-Klgo, No. 3,1. O.
O. F., hold on tho 5th instant, tho following
presmbk) and resolutions were unanimously
adopted :
. Again is thia Lodge called upon to mourn
the death of another worthy brother. Again
bas that insatiate archer, Death, eped his
poisoned shaft into our midst, and borne off, in
tho very spring time of lifo and in the midst
of a bright career of usefulness, our brother,
J. H. C. GOWEN. Could friendly and fraternal 1
affeotioes, andojthe warm feelings of every mem?
ber ot this Lodge, have interposed between
him and death, then he would still bo with us
in all his pristine health and usefulness, aiding,
ai ever was bis wont, in all that was conduc?
ive to the well hoing and prosperity of our be?
loved Order.
Therefore, in consideration of his close affin?
ity with ns, and his honorable life, while we
tender to those near and dear to him our heart?
felt sympathy, let ns not murmur against the
decrees of an all-wise and {nat God. Be it,
therefore,
Resolved, That, whilst bowing in humility
to tbe will of God, we cannot refrain from ex
{iresbing the sorrow which we feel in the sad
oss we have sustained.
Resolved, That in the sudden and unexpect?
ed death of our brother. J. H. C. GOWEN, in
the spring time of life, we have been taught
another solemn and impressive lesson, and
made to feel more deeply that in the midst of
life we are in death.
Resolved, That in testimony of respect to
our deceased brother, a blank page in our Min?
ute Book ho inscribed with bis name and dedi?
cated to his memory.
Resolved, That as a token of respect and es?
teem the working implements of the Lodge be
clothed in mourning until tho end of the pres?
ent quarter.
Resolved, That a copy of 1 he foregoing pre?
amble and resolutions bo sect io the widow of
onr deceased brother, and that the same bo
published in the CHABLESTON DAILY NEWS.
