BOLD Arnacpr r<> SWINDLE,-There is a large nam ber of negroes employed noon the ? Adger building, whian is now being arranged \ to make an Opera House. Every ene knows < now diffiouit it is to "tefl one darkey from an- i other." . The contractors of tbis work labor < under this difficulty.aud when they have paid off at night have found their money a little short,- < which they believed was so because of their ] diftcul ty in distinguishiag their "hands," who, 1 knewing it, secured double pay. To prevent , anything like this in rotare they Issued tick- ? eta, which bad to bo shown before the money i was paid. Some few negroes who have been loitering about the building, aad most proba- \ bly have, about pay time, ouooeeded in passing j themselves off as workmen, on Thursday at? - tacked some of the workmen and took their i tickets away. ..Complaint wa? made by the , losers, and the rascals were sought after. They i escaped arrest,but failed to get any mo :ey siter , all their trouble and risk. , * Tn POLICE BILL,-There bas been mao discussion apon the Police bill, sad the votes of the colored members of Council have been much sought after of late by the opponents and pupporters of the bill. At the last meet? ing* of Ooznoi) the colored Aldermen voted unanimously to indefinitely postpone the con? sideration of the bill, as its opponents had im? pressed them with the belief that it .vas a pro j oct of the Mayor to get rid of the night force fer the sole parp?se of relieving the Polios of the color ed men that composed the night watch; and if he were successful in tbis. lo discharge the few colored men on the day force. Since the meeting the supporters of the bill have been to work. They have brongbt * powerful pressure to bear upon the Mayor to make him discharge the conservative members-some thirty odd-of the force. These Aldermen daim that the success of the Republican party in Urra dey depends ia a great measure upon the police force being thoroughly reorganised; that it most be com? posed entirely of out-and-out Republicans, t with an equal mistare of white and black. ( . Thia more bu bad tbe desired effjct, and un- 1 less tba opponents manase to work upon the y prejudices of the colored Aldermen so as to a cease disaffection, they will vote in a body for a she adoption of the bill, which will be brought f before Council at thc extra meeting ou Tues- t -day night next. The colored members, whose, i votes constitute (he bone of contention be- t tween the Mackeys, aa d Barr o w and tbe Potter, i Oeddioga and Chinning ham actions, seem to c anderstand (even Small comprehends) that by t voting with UM former faction they will pro- a ?ride employment for a few of their brethren, e aad consequently gain the applause of the I mass of UM colored men. t THAT SECRET CAUCUS. What it Was All About-Corbin Send? in a "Little Bill'"-Tbc Conscientious Aldermen Kecoil in Horror-Alderman T. J. Mackey Deserts the Cause of bis Perennial Candidate-Tbe Result. In yesterday's NEWS mention was made of the recent caucus of Aldermen, held on Thurs? day night, for some mysterious purpose, where? of the public in general, and newspaper re? porters in particular, were kept in blissful ignorance. The secret, however, was too good a joke to remain a secret long, and yesterday morning nine separate accounts of the pow? wow, doubtless penned by?s many confiding Aldermen, were sent to THE NEWS for the en ightenment and edification of the commun i These communications-for which, by the way, we most not omit to thank their resp tire authors-agree substantially in their statement of the object and proceedings of the conclave. It should be premised that the eaaens was cot a general one, certain Alder? men whose discretion or good feeling were hot beyond suspicion having been care? fully omitted when tbe invitations were sent It is worthy of note that the Aldermen thus left ont were decidedly the most respectable the lot, viz: Geddings, Voigt, Cunningham and Potter. The purpose of the meeting was to give an informal but decisive consideration to a little account which United States District Attorney Ac., Corbin, with characteristic modesty, had presented to tbe City Council for compensa? tion for his individual, services as counsel for dilbert Pillsbury and his Aldermen daring the long and tedi?os straggle with the Clark ad ministration, which has now become biston cal. Corbin's bill, as originally made ont, amounted to $8000; bat with that unselfish consideration for the public weal which has marked his career in Sooth Carolina, he con sented to lop off a cool thousand, and to call things square with the oity for the trifling sam of $7000 cash. To secare the prompt payment of this bard earned fee, without any inconvenient questions or awkward objections, Mayor Pillsbury deter mined to call together the Aldermen privately in order tbat this very dirty piece of mani cipal linen might not. be washed in a pabl meeting of Council. The Mayor delicately in? troduced the sabjeot for discussion, and then had little more to say daring the meeting than that it waa not meet that he sh said speak about the matter favorably or otherwise The conscientious Inspector-General of Tim ber, however, was soon on his feet in zealous opposition to paying the bill. He showed that this was merely the individual bill of the learned counsellor, and that if it were paid, the accounts of his equally learned col leagues in the case might be expected to ag grsgate something io tbe neighborhood of (90,000. The disinterested views of an Alder man who bad so consistently supported Major Corbin for almost every office in tbe gift of Council, evidently had much weight; and as tie took his neat, the fr?quent nods of approval ?rom Aldermanic pates were omin?os of the result of the meeting. Alderman Collins, who is always ready to M orifice his' individual interesta when the good of the oity is concerned, made a propo? sition that 13000 should be paid to the learned xransel, and that the sum should be made ap by contribution ?moog the Aldermen whose seats were affected. This generous proposal lid not go down. Various' other Aldermen gave utterance to rifiws showing them to be vigilant castodiaus >f the city coffers, rather than grateful oliente if the modest Corbie. One Alderman stated ?hat as he had heard that Corbin threatened to ne the city if its Connell refused to pay the thole bill, he would move to pay him a thoa an i or twelve hundred dollars, and let bim ne for the remainder if he wished. Another tated that he should be satisfied with his pay is City Atterney, which office was given him in irdor to recompense i im for his legal labors. Upon the sense of the caucus being taken it ras foaod tbet most of those present were con rinoed that the consciousness of duty nobly lerformed to tho city and to bis party would, n the end, be enough, and more than enough, o compensate the learned Corbin for his legal abors. There is mach feeling against Corbin among he Republicans, who are not ohoico in their ?pressions in regard to him. As the; think his a small affair in a man who has an in >ome of nearly twenty thousand dollars a year rom the offices ot United States Distiict At? torney, City Attorney, President of the Senate, Codifier of che Laws, Chairman of the Conr nlssionera oif Election, and from "chances" while acting as Lieutenant-Qovernor and now ind tben Governor, to all of which positions tie has been raised by Republican votes, he will hardly get a lodgment in his favor in the suit be proposes to iustit ute against the city. The Aldermen who have jerked his arm oat of the treasury, laugh at the report that hs in? tends io make a mid apon it through tbe morts. A prominent Badi cai states that last year, when opposition was made to the members of the present Board of Aldermen taking their seats, United States Dis trie '.-At tornoy D. T. Corbin, Attorney-General D. H. Chamberlain and Con? gressman Bowen, were retained by the board to co uduc t their case against the opposition. After the case had been pat in their bands, they refused to proceed unless a thousand dol? lars were paid to them; and they promised if it were paid, to carry tbs ease tbrough all of the courts, if necessary, and asserted tbat they did not expect to geo justice from the old boara, before which she ease was first to se irgued. Thc elected Aldermen cast about to raise the one thousand required. About one third of them contributed, and the remainder tras raised by contributions from the colored :haritable societies and by collections taken op in the colored churches. After tho case had gone to the Sopreme Court, the lawyers refused to attend to it, unless five handred .lollara more were divided among them. B?nen statin g that, although he desired to take a share n the five hundred, he would refond hereafter. Fhis amount was not raised then, bat tbe lawyers conducted tbe case, nevertheless, aowever, it was agreed among tho elected Al? lermen that the money should be made op md paid to- tbem. bot it bas not boen done. THE SOOTH GASOLINA UXIVEESTTT.-We learn bat Rev- Dr. Garnett, of New York, bas been endered a professorship in this institution. Dr. A. G. Mackey, it is stated, will be elected uofeosor of bello lettres, and Mr. O'Connell, >f York, will most probably be elected prof es? sor of languages. THE OATBRPILLAB.-A citizen who has lad bia attention called to an article in the 3arottna Farmer, an agrien ! lar al journal p ab ishedin Wilmington, N. 0., alluding to the runderiul effect of carbolic acid io expelling na destroying insects, says that "in Louisi >na, in 1867, the cotton caterpillar was, apon a bar-acre patcb, expelled or exterminated by he nae of a simple .contrivance for sprinkling rana petroleom upon tho plant.

THOSE FOUR BABIES HOW TWO WOMKN DECEIVED THE PUBLTO AND MADE MONEY. The Deception 1- xposed by Motherly Pr ide-Did Governor Scott Bid for the Four Votes ? About BIT weeks ago the city papers ao nounced that a colored wotnan living in the northeastern portion of the city had given birth to four healthy male children, and tbat the mother was looked apon as a heroine by ?ll the colored people in that section, who crowded to see her, paying freely for the pleasure of gratifying their cariosity. From time to time it was reported that the mother and children were doing better than "contd be expected, under the circumstances." It was also reported that his Excellency, Governor Scott, who, if rumor be trae, bus tbe milk of haman kindness strongly developed in his bosom, thinking that Natore might cot have supplied the mother with as mach of the "lac? teal" as was necessary for the occasion, sent hor a milch cow. In passing, we mast say, that if this last report Le true, the Governor is a farsighted individual, and doubtless antici? pates becoming a candidate for tbe Presidency of the United States, about sixteen years hence, and made a bid for the votes of these tour babes, who, if they grow well, will in that time be ''duly qualified voters." Put the cow down, Governor, among the "incidentals' of the Blue Bidge Railroad. TEE DECEPTION EXPOSED. The mother and her four babes havo been the worship of the colored people ap to two or three days ago, when the idols were dashed to the groand. Motherly pride cou]d no longer retain a secret which not only pre ronted her from publicly acknowledging tbe compliment her "darlings" received, but allowed another woman to bo praised for what eho bad not done, viz : given birth to two splendid spe? cimens of babyhood. As told, it appears that two colored women, whom for convenience wo shall designate as A and 13, live in the samo house, and on the same day about six week* ago were made happy by giving birth to malo twins. A, who iB of a "speculative turo of mind," proposed to B that she should put her two babes in her bed, and faho (A) should announce that tho four belonged to her. As such a thing as four children at a birth was un? usual, she argued the people would want to see the sight, and wonld pay to do so. B con? sented to go into tho speculation. In a short time the house was crowded, each person visi? ting paying something tor the privilege. In this way money was made by both. B, after recovering from ber illness, did the show keeper's part. Her two children weie tho finer looking of the four, and Ibo frequent compliments paid them gratified her very much, although there was a little raakling at tbe heart beoause A was also complimented for the supposed part she took in their birth. Tbia sore spot festered, aod at last became as sore as coulJ be borne. An opportunity for a display of the feeling it angenderod soon carno. About two or throe days since a young married woman, who has not been "blessed," and; is consequently very fond of babies, paid a v sit to the house. She was overwhelming in ber endearments to both A and babies, especial? ly to the two healthier ones. Sbe congratulated A especially on being the mother of these two, all of which A took io good part, and said she was very proud of them; tbat she doubted if any woman in the country ever bore finer specimens. B stood by and listened, with a heart almost bursting with rago. She contd not stand tbe last sentence; ail a mother's pride rose ap ia arms. She claimed her babies, and denounced A as an ugly creature; tbe two boys were ber own, and the other woman bad nothing to do with them. All this and moro did sbe tell, and at last concluded by denounc? ing the whole affair as a swindle, and then withdrew her stock from the couoorn. This exposure created somo excitement in the vicinity, and those who bad been deceived ware loud in their threats against the impos? tors; but now all is quiet. The women, it is eaid, made about three hundred dollars by their little operation. CnuaCBS.-There was a match game of base ball played at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, between tbe Palmetto and McCormick Clubs, the s:ore standing twenty-four for the fermer and four for the latter club. It has been ascertained that the banks of tho Santeo Canal, near tbe Northeastern Bailroad bridge, aro composed of phosphate rock. On Tuesday next, wben the Humboldt Fes? tival occurs, tho Seadlicher Correspondent will "appear in the form of a festival paper." Susan Stephenson and Aanie Horgan, who stand charged by Mollie Blewitt with perjury, because they swore that Mollio attempted to burn the boase of Susan, will be tried before Magistrate Morrison to-day. The fines imposed by the Mayor yesterday amounted to $37. Persons who are robbed should at once re? port the fact to the detective office, nader the City Hall. By so doing, they will most proba? bly reoover their property, and also have the thief brough t to justice. No oases of interest were before the Mayor yesterday. An Alderman asserted yesterday that THE NEWS had made a shrewd guess about tbe last secret session of Council, and it applied 13 all cauonses, when it said "a little arranging of matters beforehand is necessary to prevent any of the Aldermen front ottering some un? pleasant truths ia Council, as they sometimos do." George Hooker, who has been mentioned before in oenneetion with a forgery, waa com? mitted to jail, yesterday, ii default of one thousand dollars soourity, to answer the charge of attempting to swindle the colored people, bysolioiting sums of money from them, and using the namo ^f tbe minister of a colored charon here to aid him. He staodn charged with other forgeries, all of whioh will be in? vestigated next week. Alderman Collins was excited yesterday, and pro ol ai m od that immacalato Radical, T. J. Mackey, to bo a Democrat, and Gilbert Pills? bury the "only trae, honest Republican in South Carolina." A grocer ap town charged a negro two dol? lars fora drink of whiskey, and an indignant Alderman asserts that be intends moving at the next meeting of Council to have the license of said grocer revoked. A match game of base boll will be played at three o'clock this afternoon between the Emerald and Charleston Ciaba, at tbe corner of Alexander and Charlotte streets. It is reported that the Land Commissioner has purchased a tract of two thousand acres, more or less, on the Wando River, about ten m il ea from Charleston, at about 14 per acre. Congressman H?ge and family have left for the North to spend several months. Tbe young lady who was arrested yesterday afternoon, in Spring-street, by the police, was not the person s o.ight for, but 8u closely re? sembled her that the mistake, though unfor? tunate and to be deeply regretted, was most natural._ BesDTEsa ENVELOPES.-THE NEWS JOB Or? nee is now prepared to famish good envelopes with business ca ds print?

COLUMBIA ITEMS.-Governor Scott bas pur chased a farm of three hundred acres about a mile from Columbia at $12 per acre. 4 P?r* tioa of it is well wooded, the baUnce good cot? ton and corn lands. Contractor Allen has nearly completed the Statehouse. Ic is expeoted that the Stace offices will toon be within its walls. Tbe fence around it is being neatly piinted. Benjamin Parr White, a young man about eighteen years of age, was found dead yester? day morning in a stable belongiug to Henry Skipper, with a pistol ball ia his head. It is supposed to be a case of suioide. Mr. G. &I. Walker, the chief clerk of the Treasury Department, has resigned, to take effect October 1st. He has made an engage? ment with Scott, Williams ?

J Abstract from the minutes of the Board of Directors, at a meeting held this day, viz: "Since we last met, our number bas been re? duced by the removal to another life of Mr. CHABLIS D. CABE. "Ho was with us at our meeting of the 13th ultimo for the last time, aad sickened soon afterwards. "He was elected to tho board on the 4th, May, 1852, and continued a member until his death, a period of more than seventeen years, daring which time we had the banefit of his natural energy and decision, his strong and well informed mind, his knowledge of business and of men, his practical sagacity and moral up? rightness. "And whilst we thus record our own loss, we mourn for that of bia family. His devotednees to home, in all its relations and all its oares and sympathies, under the humble influences of Christian love and trust, will be to them both example and comfort or no ordinary value. "Resolved, That the president enclose a copy of tbeao proceeding to tho widow and family of our valnod and lamented associate, and that it bo published." WM. E. HASKELL, Cashier. BUSINESS NOTICES. THE LATE IMPROVEMENTS in the American House, Boston, leave little to be wished for by those who quarcei"wnder the roof of this lead? ing hotel. Every thing fresh and nice; all im? provements added, and the unequalled man? agement of the past continued. -o CONQBESS WATER.- The advantagea of thia excellent mineral tonic are well known, and tho large attendance at Saratoga during the past aummer provea that its virtues are the same as when tbe spring waa discovered. To many peraous, Congress water is a necessity and the trip to Saratoga too expensive. Mr. G. W. Aimar haa increased his large stock of thia water, and those who wish to reap its benefits, withont the outlay, will find an abun? dant supply of the genuine article at Aimar'a Drug Store, corner Bing and Yanderhorst streets.
