There was some talk about the affair, and Mr. Stratton was arraigned before the Chief Wed? nesday morning, wno, after a fall investigation, acquitted him, being convinced that there was nothing criminal ia his action, and if fault thAfr was, it was to be attributed to lack of judgment.

Schaffer, stenographer, to assist the their investigation. Generals Martin Simons havo been retained as cooneel for Buhot. Aldermen Geddings and* Potter Collector Clark will be summoned Before committee aa witnesses on the part of city._ TBS WASHINGTON LIGHT INFANTBT MC KENT.-At a meeting of the Washington Lo Infantry Charitable Association, held Thursday evening, a number of plans, for proposed monument over their Callen ci rades were presented, bot no final action taxes, the discussion being postponed t meeting to be called on the ensuing Tnt day. Eight different plans were laid be! the association, of which six wero from i city, one from Augusta and one from Coh bia. Mr. W. T. White furnished three, soi what similar in design, yet sufficiently uni to provoke sharp criticism-the princi feature being a tali and graceful shaft ria . from an ornamental pedistal. Mr. E. R. Wt presented two plans elaborately drawn, i both admirably suited for the purpose tended. Mr. A. F. Chevereux has only a sin design, which was unlike those already m tioned, but chaste, and suffioently ornamen as to at onco attract the eye. Messrs. Byrni Spraul, of Columbia, sent a plan which, thou neat, bas hardly the original. Mr. Th Markwalter, of Augusta, furnished a plan tl has given general satisfaction. The style unique and graceful, being somewhat like t Jones monument, at Magnolia, though 01 different scale. It is to be constructed fri Georgia marble of a chocolate color, with gi lettering. As the association have taken action in the premises, it is difficult to surm what their choice will ba. While there ii general desire to award the contract to Charlestonian, there are few who do not th i the design from Augusta, if carried out accoi inp to the proposed pl in, will give the asi ci a rion a monument that will be a fitting tea monial to the gallant dead. THE DRUMMERS-WHAT SOME PEOJ ,. THI: or THEM.-THE NEWS has, during the last s weeks, mentioned the arrest, by the detective of a large number of drummers from North? cities. Of late, there have been comparative few arrests, and very few payments to the oil treasury, and we must either conclude th they now give Charleston the "go by," i manage to evade the detectives, and also tl law, requiring them to pay three dollars ti oa every hundred dollars' worth of goods sol There are some dealers here who think th the tax imposed apon drummers is too beay and argue that if the city would grant licens to travelling salesmen from other cities for t< days or two weeks, the reveane from this ti would be very much increased and nobot would be injured by it. That, of course, would be unfair and unjust to the dealets Charleston who have to pay licenses to transa, their business and who live here, pay taxe here and spend their money here, for the eil to permit travelling salesmen to come here I compete with these dealers without paying fi the privilege also, bat it seems unjust I charge a travelling man who remains in tl city but a week, and perhaps sells but $10 worth of goods, as muoh as a dealer who n mains in the city a year and sells $200,00 That the city, by charging an extol tionate tax, compels travelling men t set their wits to woik to avoid th law. They manage to show their sample on the sly, and, in many i na tances, they se through commission houses which grow fat 0 a revenue the city ought to obtain. Travellin men feel that the present object of the tax i to make a I?J3DSQ ao expensive that it woo) not pay them to enter the oity with the inter fcion ot showing samples. That the oity baa n right t) make a law forbidding them to oom to Charleston, and they feel that the presen law ia framed for this parp?se. If a licens could be obtained for ten days at the cost o ten or twenty.dollars, the hundreds of aeeat who now avoid the law would comply with it requirements and the city revenas woald b increased. The above are substantially the argument used by those of the dealers who are opposa to tba present system of taxing the drummers Io our opinion the law gives travelling eales men a great advantage ov:r resident sales men. ' _ (THUMBS -The stage of th ; Oporahouse ha< been com ploted. A policeman yesterday afternoon arrested i man who was "drunk and asleep on the bencha of the Charleston H?tel porch. The inebriate* fellow did not go aa he was desired, and thi policeman dabbed him until the blood freol; Sowed. Those who witnessed the affair agre* in saying that tbe conduct of the police mai was simply brutal. The Gorman Fire Company will give a bal on the 6th of October next, at their engine house. The fellowing gentlemen are the com' mittee of arrangements: G. Marieohoff, Max Belitaer, B. Starken, W. Schrogge-H. H. Voi Eitzen, chairman. Thomas Nowtou, who has promised "never to get drank any more," has had his sentence of twenty days' imprisonment remitted by the Mayor. A drunken man named McNamara, whe fought the policeman who arrested him, and tore his clothes off, was fined MB by the Mayoi yesterday, and ordered to pay for the damage done to the clothing. The fines imposed by the Mayor yesterday amounted to $77 20. Messrs. J. A. Cook <k Co. were fined $25 yes? terday for keeping a barrel of kerosene oil on their premises longer than twenty-four hours. A colored mao, named Lawrenoe Moore, be? came tired of his wife and put a strange woman in the house, and ordered bis wife to leave, threat ?mug to kill ber if sho did not. The wife, who alleges that she was brutally treated by her husband, has procured a warrant for his arrest. It is reported that several of the Aldermen cont?mplate getting Council to memorialize the Legislature to abolish the Beoorder's court. The detective force last week added one hun? dred and fifty-five dollars to the city treasury half of the ones the Mayor imposed upon par? ties they bad reported. There are several loose elates on the roof of St. Michael's Church. They should be fixed, or a first-class item will be tu mi sh ed the pa? pers. The city pays four hundred and forty-three dollars per mont h for tbe services of the de? tective force. During the month past tbe fines imposed by the Mayor upon parties which the members of the force bad reported amounted tomoo hundred and twenty dollars-half of which ($400) was the city's share. The New Orleans Picayune reports a race between two rival engine companies ofthat city, in which the winning company ran one quarter of a mile with a band engine in one raino*e and two seconds, and threw water in one minute and eleven and a half seconds. Mr. F. E. Knee ha? taken the store at the corner of Queen and Meeting streets. Samuel P. Matthews bas been appointed by Governor Scott land surveyor fer Williamsburg County. . POPULATION OF THU STATE CAPITAL.-The presea j censas of Columbia shows au increase of about 1300 in tbe population of tho city since 1860. Tbe census of 1830 indicated a population of 3310; that of 1810,4540; that of 1850.6060; that of 1860,8059; that of 1869, 9308. The following are the figures ia detail of the census just completed: Total number of white males, 1854; total, number of colored males, "?557; total males, 4411. Total number of white females, 1966; total uumbar of colored females, 2931; total females, 4897. Whole total of in? habitants, 9303. Total voters, 2181; colored majority, 355. BUSINESS IMPSOV?OIRNTS-HAST kCo., WHOLESALE AND RETAIL HARDWARE.-The mer? chants of Charleston have always held to the faith that the trade which the city enjoyed before the war most eventually return to it. Each successive season has strengthened this confidence, and oar wholesale houses have used every effort to present to their old customers such inducements as would at once secure their business. Prominent among the changes that this policy has suggested, is the exten? sion of the old and popular hardware establish? ment of Klessrs. Hart k Co. This staunch house bas for years carried on on uninterrupt? ed and succ88Sfal wholesale and retail busi? ness at the corner of Market and King streets. Increasing prosperity made it necessary to en? large their sphere of action, and last summer the firm secaren the spacious store in Hayne streot, formerly occupied by Mossrs. W. 8. Has? tie k Co. This has been entirely refitted under the direction of Mr. Lopez, and is now one of the most complete and extensive hardware es? tablishments in the South. The building is four stories in heighth, and has large back stores opening on Market street. The ground floor is devoted to tbe smaller and more valtublo articles, such as cutlery, locks, fino steal, and iron-ware, Ac. The sample boards ou this floor aro arranged with great care, and present to the buyer au endless array of specimens of the stock. On the opposite side is a gun rack, handsomely enclosed by a glass case which protects the weapons from the atmosphere. The office, which is in the rear, is oonveniently and taste folly fitted ap. The second floor might be termed a hage sample room, containing a vast variety of iron, tin and wooden ware, with a pleasing admixture of fancy goods and light articles for the couutry trade. In tbe third and fourth stories are the heavier portions of the stock and duplicates of the goods seen below, while the baok stores are devoted to bar iron, kc. Messrs. Hart k Co. have been busily engaged daring tho past sommer in arranging their new store, and caa now offer to the country trade tba most attractive in? ducements. The retail brauch of tho firm at the somer of Sing and Market streets, so well known to everybody in Charleston, keeps up its old repu? tation for first-class goods and reasonable prices. ? _ HOTEL ARRIVALS, SEPTEUBEB 23.-Pac Hon Hotel_J.

In your issuo of this morning I see a state? ment in regard to an altercation in a shco house between a mao by the name of Ham berg, of Columbia, anda shoe clerk. As I am tbe person alluded to. and as I am a native ol this city, and have, throughout my life, done nothing to forfeit the respect or esteem of my friends, and as I desire to preserve that re? spect and esteem, [ask all of them to suspend their judgment until the trial which I desire : shall have taken placa, when I will prove clear? ly that I have not done more than common manhood required; and will farther prove that the person who made tho affidavit himself vin? dicated my coarse by apologizing for the in? decent attack made upon me. THOMAS C. ETAN. THE LATE\RAILROAI> ACCIDENT. A Card. , TO THE IDITOR OF THE NEWS. In your issue of tho 20th instant, containing an account of the recent accident on tho8outb Carolina Railroad, we observo that, in the tes? timony taken before the coroner, Mr. James Maguire, a train hand on the road, makes the following allegation: In about fifteen minutes after the accident the fire commenced, and witness went towards the passenger cars and found the passengers attempting to break open the baggage oar, in order to get their baggage. He asked them to go with him to aid Mr. Hargrove, bat Done of thom would do so. Since oar retara co the city, we take the earliest opportunity, through your valuable journal, of denying this allegation, and of slating that it is erroneous and unjust. The statement of Mr. Maguire is a misrepresenta? tion-we hope an unintentional one. Had we refused assistance to the unfortunate Mr. Har? grove, and preferred to save our personal ef? fects in the baggago cai- rather than bis lifo, we should have been lost to all feeling of hu? manity. Whoa wc got out upon the trestle after the accident, we found that the train was on fire, and the first thing that we did was to uncouple and roll buck upon the track the passeuger car containing the women and children. When first informed of tho terrible position of the unfortunate Mr. Hargrove, he was en? tirely beyond help, and up to this time no efforts bad been made eithor by as or others to save any baggage. Through the kindness of H. T. Peake, Esq., General Superintendent of tho road, we have been permitted to make the following extracts from the official report of Mr. W. H. Evans, the conductor of tbe train, which we think not only fully exculpates the passengers frc m any imputation which might be drawn from Mr. Maguire's testimony, but entirely disproves it: We had got more than half way over the trestle, when I felt a suddon concussion, which almost threw me down. I immediately called to the tram hands to put down brakes. They nore at once applied, and we were brought to a bait. I went immediately to my passenger coach, and in as calm a manner as possible en treatea my passengers to keep their seats, as we were upon a trestle. I informed them that an accident had occurred, the nature of wbiob I was ignorant, but if they would keep quiet I would ascertain and inform them. I went oat, and hearing distinctly the cries of some one who was wounded, I immediately got down into the swamp, together with Mr. Symmes. express messenger, and train hands Maguire ana Seyles, and started to where the cries emanated. We met, first, Fireman Barns, who wa? badly scalded and bruised, and Mr. Symmes and my? self took bim, while my two train hands proceeded to assist Engineer Hargrove. I then noticed the mass of raine which was before, mo, and, to my horror, I found that in addition to the accident which bad already occurred, we had that terrible element of de? struction, tire, to contend with, which was raging fearfully and increasing rapidly, in coa seq?ense of the oils and alcoholic spirits which were running over the debris of my cars. Some one called for an axe to extricate En? gineer Hargrove, who, ? was informed, was caught by tho reverse lever and quadrant in such a position as to render it almost impossi? ble to extricate him. The axe was thrown to me (the only one I bad,) and I bad intended ?oing to assist tn bis extrication, when a tern? ie explosion occurred. This was a moment of awful mental contest. What was my duty ? I pi:tared to my mind the mangled foims of women and children, blown to atoms by powder explosions. I has? tened to get Fireman Barna on the trestle and into my car, and then to get my two cars with my passengers, which was a difficult task, to a distance which I hoped would save them from accident by explosion. I was then informed that Mr; Hargrove was all in flames, and no getting to him on account of the fire. My next duty was to my passengers baggage, and I directed my attention to saving it if pos? sible, as my baggage car was on fire, and the er plosions continuing. Through the entire trial my passengers, one and all, rendered me all the assistance in their power. This report of Mr. Evans obviates, we think, the necessity of any further statement of the facts by us. In conclusion, allow us to express surprise that so respectable a journal as the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel should, in their issue on the 22J inst., emit such a sentimental ar? ticle as their caustic editorial, headed "fjh paralleled Heartlessness." It might have been morj generous bad they allowed the passen? gers an opportunity of being hoard in their defence, before the Chronicle and Sentinel should be willing to convict them upon thc testimony of ono single witness, unsupported by either of tho other witnesses examined be? fore the coroner, and, as the foregoing report shows, contradicted by the conductor of the tram. We trust tbat this paper will do,us the jus? tice, however, to publish this communication, and not allow our friends in the Empire State to think that we 8outh Carolinians "were so intent upon saving their baggage, that they refused to abandon their efforts to save their dirty linen, although appealed to in behalf of tho poor man who was in momentary danger of meeting death ic its most hideous and torturing form." Papers which have copied accounts of this accident will please inBert this communication. DANIEL RAVENEL, Ja. EOWABO T. JEBVBY. A. C. KAUFMAN. BUSINESS NOTICES.
