A BOLD ATTEMPT TO SW?KDLK. - Thero ie a largo number of nogrocs employed upon tbe Adger building, which is now being arranged to make an Opera House. Every one knows how dlffloult it is to "tell one darkey from an? other." Tbe contractors of this work labor under thia difficulty ,an d when they have paid off at night have found their money a little short, which they believed was so because of their difficulty in distinguishing their "hands," who, knswing it, scoured double pay. To prevent anything liko this in future thoy issnod tiok ets, which bad to bo shown before the money was paid. Some few negroes who have been loitering about the building, and mo.it proba? bly nave, about pay time, succeeded in passing themselves off as workmen, on Thursday at? tacked some of the workmen and took their tlokets away. Complaint wai made by the losers, and the rascals were sought after. They' escaped arrest,but failed to get any money alter all their trouble and risk. TBE POLI OE BILL.-There has been much dlsonssion upon tho Police bill, and the votes of the colored members of Council have been muob sought after of Uto by the opponents and supporters of tho bill. At the. last meet* ing ot Gounod the oolored Aldormon voted nnanimously to indefinitely postpone the con? sideration of tho bill, as its opponents had im? pressed them with tho belief that it *as a pro? ject ot the Mayor to got rid of the night forco for the sole purpose of rolioving tho Polio of tbe oolored men that composed the night watch; and if bo wero success fut in ((.hts. lo discharge tho few colored men on tbe day forco. Since tho mooting the supporters of the bill have boon to work. Thoy have brought a powerful pressure to bear upon the Mayor to make him discharge the conservative members-some thirty odd-of the force. These Aldermen olaim that tbs snooees .of the Republican party in thia olly doponda in a great measure n pop the polio? foros bring thoroughly rtbrganlacd; (hat it most ba oom? posed entirely of out-and-out Republicans, with an oqual mixture of white and black. Thia move has bad tho desired effect, and un? i?se the opponents. raani?a to work upon the .pr?judices of tbo cotorod Aldermen so aa to oana? disaffection, they will vote in a body for the adoption of tbs bill, which; wuPbe brought .before Council at the oxtra meeting on Tues? day night next. Tbe colored members, whose TOteS constitute tho bone of contention be? tween the Mackey B, and Barro w and1 the Potter, Geddings and Cunningham factious, seem to understand teven Small comprehends) that by Toting with tba former fae don they win pro? vide employment fora few or their brethren, and consequently gain the applause of th? 1 xQfcss of the colored ?./m. THAT SECRET CAUCUS. Wbnt it Was All Aboat-Corbin Sends In a "Little Bill"-The Conscientious Aldermen ltecoll In Horror-Alderman T. J. Mackey Deserts the Canso ot* his Perennial Candidate-The llesult Iu yostcrday'8 NEWS mention was mado of thc recent cnn CUB of Aldermen, boldon Thurs? day night, forsomo mysterious purpose, where? of tho publio in general, and nowepapor re? porters in particular, wore kopt iu blisslnl ignorance. Tho aocrot, bowovcr, WOB toogood a joke to romain a secrot long, and yesterday morning niuo sonara to accounts of tho pow? wow, doubtless poonod by BB many confiding Aldermen, were sent to TUE NEWS for tho on ightonment and edification of tbooommunity. These communications-for whioh, by the way, wo must not omit to thank thoir rospac? tive authors-agree substantially in their Btatemont of tbs. object and proooodinga of tho conclavo. It should bo promised that tho caucus was not a general one, oortain Alder? men whoso discretion or good fooling wero not boyond suspioion having been care? fully omitted whoa tho invitations wore sent. It ie worthy of note that the Aldermen thu? left out wero deoidedly tho most respectable of tho lot, viz: Ueddings, Voigt, Cunningham and Potter. The purposo of tho mooting wai to give on informai but decisive" consideration to a litblo aooouut wblcb Unitod States District Attorney, 4c, Corbin, with obaraotoriatio modesty, had prcsouted to tho City Council for compensa? tion for his individual sorvices as couusol for dilbert Pillsbury and his Aldermen during tho loo g and tedious elrugglo with tho Clark ad ininietration, which lins now becomo histori oal. Corbin's bill, aa originally mado out, amountod to (6000; but with that unselfish consideration for tho public wool which baa marked hia career in South Carolina, ho con? sented to lop off a cool thousand, and to call things Bquaro with the city for tho trifling sum of $7000 cash. To securo tho prompt payment of this bard oivnctl reo, wituoulany inconvooioui questions or awkward objections, Mayor Pillsbury deter? mined to call together tho Aldermen urivatoly, in order that this vory dirty pioco of muni? cipal linen might not bo washed iu a publio meeting of Council. The Mayor dolicatoly in? troduced the subjeat for discussion, and thon had little moro to say during the meeting than that it was not moot that bc should Bpeak about tho matter lavorably or otherwise. Tho conscientious Inspoctor-Qonoral of Tim? ber, howover, was soon on hia feet in zealous opposition to paying the bill. He showed that this was merely tho individual bill of tito-, learned counsellor, and that if it wero paid, the accounts of his cqnnlly learned col? leagues in tho caao might bo expected to ag? gregate so mo thin,' io tho neighborhood of $20,000. Tho disinterested view? of au Alder? man who bad so consistently supported Major Corbin for almost every offico in the gift of Connoil, evidently had muob weight; and as be took his seat, the fr?quent nods of approval from Aldormanio patos wero ominons of tho result of the meeting.' Alderman Collins, who is always roady to sacrifloo his individual interests whon the good of the oity ls con cerned, made a propo? sition that $8000 should be paid to tho learned oounsol, and that the sam shoald be mado up by contribution among the Aldermen whoso seats wero affeotod. This gonerons proposal did not go down. Various other Aldermen gave utterance to views showing thom to be vigilant custodiaos of tho city coffers, rather thairgratofnl oliente of the modest Corbin. One Alderman stated that as he had heard tbat Corbin threatened to sue tho oity if its Council refused to pay the whole bill, be would move to pay bim a thou san! or twelvo hundred dollars, and lot bim gue for tho remainder if ho wished. Another stated that bo should be satisfied with bia pay as City Attorney, which office was given him ia order to recompenso bim for hia logal labors. Upon the sonso of the canons being taken it was found that most of those present were con? vinced that U)0 consciousness of duty nobly performed to the city and to bis party would, - in the end, be enough, and moro than enough, to com pons ato tho learned Corbin for hie logal labors. Tbero is much fooling against Corbin among the Republicans, who aro not ohoioo in their expressions in regard to bim. As tboy think this a small affair in a man who has an in? come of nearly twenty thousand dollars a year from the offices ol United States District At? torney, City Attorney, President of tho Senate, Codifier of the Laws, Chairman of tho Com* missioners of Election, and from "obanoesu while actinias.Tiioutenant-Qovoruor and now and then Governor', to all of'whioh positions he has beeb raised by Republican votes, he will hardly get a judgment in his favor in the suit ho propos?e to instituto against the oily. The Aldermen who have jerked his arm ont of the treasury, laugh at the report that he in? tends-to make a raid upon it through the courts. A prominent Radical states that lout year, when op posit iou was made to the "members of the present Board of Al do rn? oh I aktig their seats, United States District-Attorney D. T. Corbin, Attoroey-Oenerai D. H. Chamberlain and Con? gressman Rowen,"woro rotained by tbe board to ooo duct their caao ana?na t tho opposition. After (he ease had been put in their hands, they refused to proceed unless a thousand dol? lars wore paid to them; and they promised if it wore paid, to carry tho case through all of tbe coarte, if etreesnary, and asserted tbat they did not expect to got just leo from tho old board, before whioh the o?se waa first to ke argued. The elected Aldermen cast about to raise the one thousand required. About one third of them contributed, and the remainder was raised by contributions from the colored charitable societies7 and by . collections taken op in the colored cbarohea. Arter the caso had gono to the -.Supreme Court, tho lawyers refased to attend to it, unleaa flvo hundred dollars moro wera divided among them. Bowen staling that, although li o desired to tako a sh aro ia tho five hundred, he wonld refund hereafter. This amount was not raised * th?n, but tho lawyers conducted the case, nevertheless. Howovor, it ?ac agreed among (ho elected Al? dermen that tho money should , bo TO ado ap and paid to them,.bat it baa not been done, ' TH a Hourn GABO LU? A ?BTV? BSITT.^W? learn that Rev.

THOSE FOUR lt Alt! ES. HOW TWO WOMEN DE0E1VED TUE PUD MO AND MADE HONEY. Thc Deception Hxpoaed by Motherly Pride-Did QOTcrnor Scott Uld for the Four \*btce t About six wecke ago tho city papera an? nounced that a colorod woman living in tho northeaatorn portion of tho city bad Riven birtb lo four healthy malo children, and timi tbo motlier was looked upon aa a heroino by all tbe colored peopln in that section, who crowded to seo her, paying freely for tbo pleasure of gratifying tbejr curiosity. From Hmo to time it waa reported that tho mother and obildron wero doing better than "could bo expected, under the circumstances." It was also reported that his Excellency, Governor Scott, wbo, if rumor bo true, bas tbo milk ot haman kindness strongly developed in his bosom, thinking that Nature might not have supplied tbe mother with os maoh of the "lo c toaln as waa nccoBsary for tho ocoasion, Bent her a milch cow. In. passing, we most Bay, that if this last report Le true, the Governor is a farsighted individual, and doubtless antici? pates becoming a c iud kl a te for tbe Presidency of tho United States, about sixteen yean hence, and made a bid for tho votes of those four babes, who, if they grow well, will in that timo be "duly qualified voters." Put thc cow dowo, Governor, among the "incidenbala'1 of theBluo Rid go Railroad. THE DE OE F Tl ON EXPOSED. Tho motbor and hor four babes havo boon tho worship or tho colorad people np to two or thieo days ago, when the idols wore dashed to tho ground. Motherly prldo could no longer retain a secret wbiob not only pro routed ber from publicly acknowledging tho compliment her "darlings" roceivod, but allowed another woman to bc praised for what sho bad not done, viz : givon birth to two splendid Bpe cimons of babyhood. As told, it.appears that two colored womon, whom for convenience wo Bhall des?gnate as AandB, livo in tho samo house, on l on tho samo day about six wooUs atjo wera niado happy by giving birth to malo" twins. A, who is of a "speculative turo of mind," proposod to ti that sho should put hor two babes in her (A's) bcd, and she (A) should announce that tho four belonged to hor. As such a tbing as four obildren at a "irth was un? usual, ?ho argued tho pcoplo would want-to seo the sight, and would pay to do so. B con? tented to go into tho apee ula ti ou. Io a short timo tho homo was crowded, oaoh person visi? ting paying somothiDg for tho privilege. In this way money was mado by both, ti, after recovering from ber illness, did the shotv keepec's part. Uer two chile-ron were tbo finer looking of tho fonr, and tho frequent complimenta paid them gratified her very much, although tbore was a little rankling at the heart beoiuao A waa nlao oomplimontod for the supposed part she took in' their birth. Thia sore spot fostered, and at last becamo as sore aa could be borno. An opportunity for a display of tho fooling it ongondered soon oamo. About two or three days nineo a yoting married woman, who has not been "blessed," and is consequently very fond of babios, paid a visit to tbe house. 1 Sho was overwhelming in ber endearments to both A and babios, especial? ly to the two healthior ones. Sbe congratulated A especially on being the mother of these two, all of which A took in good part, and said abo was very proud of tbem; that sho doubted if any woman in tbe country over boro finer specimens. B stood by and listened, with a hoart almost bursting with rage. She could not stand tho lost seetencc; ail a mother's pride roso up to arma. She claimed her babies, and don o nnocd A us an ugly croaturo; tbe two boys wero hor cwn, and thu. othor ?oman bad nothing to do wii b them. All this and moro did sho toll, audat last concludod by deoounc lng the wholo affair as a swindle, and then withdrew ber stock from the oonoern. This oxposure oroatod some- excitement io tho vicinity, and those who bad been deceived WTo load in their threats against tbs impos? tors; bot now all ls quiet. Tho women, it is said, mado about three hundred dollars by their little operation.
