Mi IL Yesterday a very excellent lot of fifty i
tierces was offered by Messrs. W. 0. Bee & J
Co., classed good to common prime, and sold <
atjif cents per pound. The appearance of this i
Jot gave mach satisfaction. Il was milled at <

now diffiouit it is to "tefl one darkey from an- i

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

Dr. A. G. Mackey, it is stated, will be elected
uofeosor of bello lettres, and Mr. O'Connell,

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

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.

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."

BUSINESS NOTICES.
THE LATE IMPROVEMENTS in the American

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

ment of Mr. C. C. Sighter, the very enterpris?
ing and trustworthy Ring-atreet dealer in books
aad periodicals of all kinds. His list will be
found to include something to suit every taste,
and it seems to us & marvel how he can afford
