THE HOLIDAY TRADE.-As a general rule, the most extensive and liberal buyers of holiday goods do not put off their parchases until the stocks have become low and M?e crowd so great that they are unable to matte satisfactory selec? tions. Indeed, as we happen to know, some of | thc most desirable customers in that branch of trade are already on the lookout for souvenirs Of the coming season. Dealers who propose to engage m lt-and which of them does not ? should therefore announce their attractions with cutdelay, ll they wish to reap an early harvest. Ave need hardly add, what they already know, Hut the advertising columns of TBS NEWS, al? ways a reflex of the business of the city, are COD - .suited now mote than ever by those desiring bar? gains In any branch of trade. TH? CHEAPEST YET.-?-The NEWS Job Office ls now printing bill-heads In the best style and on 4ne paper, at $2 60 per thousand. Merchants, think ex itr_ SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON RAILROAD. The work on this road is progressing rapidly. The bridge over the Savannah River will be completed by the 20th Instant, and the entire road open for travel on the 20th of January. MASONIC ELECTION_At the annual commu? nication of La Candeur Lodge, No. 36, A. F. M., held at Masonic Hall, Friday evening, loth In? citant, the following officers were elected for the - ensuing Masonic year: Bros. Joseph Bock, W. M. ; Louie Habenich t. S. W; D. Moller, J. W.; J. S. Jthodes, treasurer; Henry Wagener, secretary; J. Madsen, S. D. ; B. Roth, J. D.: F. Klin ck wort h. J. Borger,stewards;?. Backus, tyler; -O'Neale, sBrganist. ^ CHRISTMAS AMUSEMENTS. - The theatrical .performances at the Academy of Music have met wita such general approbation, that Manager Ford has determined to add to the gaiety of Christmas week by a series of entertainments adapted to the occasion. As there will be a large Influx of strangers during that period, the author? ities of the Sooth Carolina and Northeastern Rail? roads might make some arrangements whereby -strangers may visit the city and return on one fare.* IN CHAMBERS.-In the case of McMannan vs. .John Bonum, a motion was made yesterday morning before Jndge Carpenter to discharge an -attachment granted by the clerk against the de? fendant after Judgment had been rendered and .execution Issued. The court decided that the .effect of the act of March 19th, 1869, amending the attachment law, was to enable an execution to be levied upon any property that could have 'heea attached ander the act of September 24, 1888. It was therefore ordered, that the attach? ment be dissolved. D. T. Corbin for the motion -opposed, Brewster, Spratt A Burke. SHREDS OF STATE NEWS.-The barn of Mr. W. H. Fnaderbark, in Chesterfield County, was tm rut on the morning of the Sd Instant. Mr. Naret Dees, another citizen of Chesterfield, lost his dwelling and outhouses from the same .cans?. A white boy, aged ll,, and a negro girl of 8, perished ia the flames. Both Ares are suppos? ed lo be the work of an Incendiary. A large number of the citizens of Chesterfield are emigrating to the West. A tournament was held at Friendship, Claren? don District, on last Tuesday, and one will be Acid at Manning on the 28th Instant. TH/B ST VALVE QUESTION.-It has been .claimed that oysters can be puchased cheaper at Norfolk, Va, and Newbern, N. C., than at Charles? ton. This statement ls calculated to Injure thc reputation of our millpond and channel bivalves, and is In many respects erroneous. Charleston oysters opened by the knife are sold at $1 50 per gadon. and at 75 cents when opened by heat. In Norfcfk*heat-opcned oysters are sold,at $1 per gallon, and at Newbern $2 per bushel, or $1 per .gallon. Charleston oysters may not be superior to those of the above mentioned places, but they are certainly prized by connoisseurs for their fla? vor, and command a ready sale. The oyster raras In the city and vicinity, where some at? tempt at cultivation has been made, have fur? nished specimens that are almost equal to thc Northern oyster in size. A CHOICB CoLUBcnoN OF CHRISTMAS VA- ? BimTEs.-A large number of articles remaining from the Masonic Fair wlU be on exhibition at the Masonic Hall to-day, and will be sold at pub ho auction to-night by Messrs. J. A W. Knox. The . collection is both useful and ornamental, and consists principally of pictures, statuary, Parian marble, Bohemian and China vases, sliver plated ware, embroidered goods, household articles, toys, Jellies, preserved fruits and vegetables. The prominent features are a marble bust ^'veiled,'* a rare collection ot Japanese curiosi? ties, sandal wood fans, and a patent velocipede. Catalogues have been printed, and visitors will be easily enabled to designate the lots by the num? bers attached. The sale will be continued on Wednesday night, and a splendid opportunity for -f-naw^y Christmas investments is offered. A PROPOSES RADICAL CHANGE.-The Com? missioners of the Market advertised some time ?mee for pr?posais to ereot new scale houses at the lower end of the market. A number of bids were subsequently received, in accordance with the plan and specifications furnished by the City Engineer. When examined by the commissioners, that trbdy decided not to accept the lowest offer, hot considered a new proposition, to transfer the Ash market to the lower end of the market; on the opposite side of East Bay. This change would enable the board to transform the fish market into two scale houses, with a passage ia the ?entre, and would give a fat Job to some one. It la stated that a motion will be made in Council to-night, to give the Market Commusio.iers power to effect this change. The move ls un? questionably against the interest of the entire community, and it ls to be hoped that the com jBlsaioners?w?l reconsider the subject. TEE PALMETTO PIONEER CO-OPERATIVE AS? SOCIATION.-The sn oe csa of the co-operative plan has loag been a mooted question, and the a<iso ohUion conducted on that principle in thia city aas besa carefully watched by its 'nenas and opponents. It was originated at a time of gene? ral depression, and for many months had a bare tenure of existence though making every pur ! chase for cash, and gradually, but surely, gala > lng the confidence of the community. At the commencement of the enterprise some of the ' stockholders became dissatisfied, but their shares (were soon bought In, and the association koa, since that time, increased Its sphere of asefulne&s, and added to the profits of the stockholders. At jj the last quarterly meeting, a dividend of five per cent, was declared and a statement presented, which showed that the Interests of the associa? tion bfd been well managed. There ls a general dealdfto reduce the number of stockholders, and Sflorts wm probably be made by those who have ( the means to purchase all of the scattery saar?. j A MOREL ESTABLISHMENT.-We invite the at tear ion of the friends or TBS NEWS in the city and throughout the State to the excellent facilities which our office enjoys for the prompt execution or all kinds or Dook and Job Printing. Fully pro? vided with new type and machinery or the latest and most approved pattern, and having a large and carefully selected stock of cards, envelopes an* papers of all qualities, TUE NEWS Job Office ls now prepared to fill orders for every description of plain and ornamental printing in the very best manner, and at rates at least as low as any other establishment in the Southern States. Call at TUE NEWS building (up-stalrs) and examine our scale of prices and specimens of our work. THE AOADEMT OK MCSIC-The second week of the engagement of the Chapman Sisters was opened last night to a fine house with Bnckstone's sparkling comedy or "Married Lire.'' The play ls one or thc best and most amusing of the modern school, and gave a more satisfactory test to the merits of the company In comedy proper than was afforded by any previous performance. There ls a remarkably even distribution of the impor? tant parts, and it mnst be said that the acting throughout was conscientious and effective. Bishop, as usual, kept everybody at a broad grin .ver the awkward attempts or Mr. Dove at "so alety" manners; while the charming Miss Blanche Chapman In the role of Mrs. Younghusband proved that she excels in comedy no less than In burlesque. "Black-eyed Susan was the lightest, the liveliest, and the most delightful or all the ex? travaganzas we have yet had, and will weU bear repeating. For to-night Cinderella is announced, with the new comedy, "Checkmate'"-a splendid btu. A.TAX ON AMUSEMENTS.-We hope that the committee on Ways and Means of the City Coun? cil, In their new Tax bill, will reduce the tax levied upon the Charleston Academy of Musk. At the time that the present tax was Imposed, there was no building In Charleston devoted only to pur? poses of amusement, and lt was weil enough that opera troupes, circus riders and minstrels, who are here to-day and gone to-morrow, should pay a fair license fee. The circus, for Instance, leaves nothing in the elty beyond the license money, and most other travelling shows are In thc same category. With the Academy of Music the case ls very different. It was built by Charleston me? chanics, ls owned by a resident or Charleston, and ls leased by a Baltlmorean, whom we hope to matte "ons or ours." .? The Academy or Music pays a heavy real estate tax te the city, and the largest proportion of Its receipts flows back to the workmen and trades? people. It ls, besides, an Important means of at? tracting strangers who bring trade to Charles? ton, and we think that the Academy should not be taxed higher than similar Instltntlons in other cities. In Baltimore the city tax ls $1 a night, In Boston $1, in New York $1 60, and in Charleston $10 a night. This last ls by far too much; and we hope it will be reduced, as regards the Academy or Music, to the Boston or New York rate. The same Indulgence might be extended to the Hiber? nian Hall, but all circuses and aUoUing entertain? ments of that kind should be made to pay, as now, a very handsome tax. THE CITY ANO THE CITY DEBT.-The publi? cation In TUE NEWS of yesterday of a plain and straightforward statement or the impecunious condition or the pity government, has ted to thc promise or better behavior in the future. Mayor Pillsbury, when the paragraph In THE NEWS was read to him by a city official, said at once that something must be done. He had not seen that the expenses of the police and streets could be curtailed la any way, but the expenditures In those departments must be reduced "someheow." This gratifying declaration was not intended, we hope, for outside effect. Let Mayor Pillsbury stick to the platform of "honesty and economy," and he will soon convert his open foes into fast friends. Only ! he must stick. Wc are authorized to say that one of the city banks has offered to lend the city what money may be required to meet thc January Interest, and that the Interest will be promptly and punc? tually paid. The Committee of Ways and Means expect to make radical changes In the system of taxation-every pursuit or profession WU1 be li? censed-and, if their recommendations are adopt? ed, they expect that the influx of money In Janu? ary will be sufficient to relieve the city rrom all embarrassment. As we said yesterday, we see no objection to a limited Issue or one and two dollar city bills. They can be absorbed In trade, and arc needed In retail business. All that ls wanted ts security against an Issue er too large au amount. This can be had in more than one way. Thc city biUs are receivable tu payment or au taxes; they will be taken op deposP by the Union Bank and Peo? ple's National Bank, and, as they are undoubted? ly secure, will certainly circulate at par. Let na have some small city bills ! TnE STREKT CARS AND THE ACADEMY OF Mi sic.-Complaint Ls often made that, the street vars stop running at too early un hoar, and that all but thc few persons who have, private convey? ances are compelled to start for home at nine or halt past nine unless they are willing to take all the risks of wind and weather. This has "been a great inconvenience since the opening of thc Academy or Music Many ladies have been un? willing or unable to walk late at night to their homes, and the absence of the street cars has hindered the success of the performances, which la every other respect are so popular. Those circumstances have been taken into con? sideration by the City Railway Company, and President Riggs gives notice that the cars will make extra trips oa each line after the regular schedule time. Cars will leave the upper termi? nus ia Rutledge avenue and iii King street at 9:C0 P. M. and 10.30 P. M., and will leave the Battery at io P. M., walting at the corner of Meeting and Market streets until the performance at the Acad? emy is over. If the experiment is successful the cars may be run in thc summer months as tate as 12 o'clock. On all the extra trips the rare will be ten cents a passenger, no commutation or season tickets being recognized. This is the regular sin gie rare or thc company, and no one will object to paying ten cents for a ride home after 10 o'clock at night. The Street Railway Company, in running the ex? tra trips, show a proper regard tor the pubUc convenience, and will, we hope, be encouraged to go a step further. Charleston is not a fishing vil? lage, where aU hands go to bed with the chickens, and we hall thc action of the City Railway rom pany as a move In thc right direction-that of giving every possible facility to residents as well as strangers. CRUMBS.-All articles left at the Academy of Music may be obtained at the janitor's office ia the same building. The weather continuel mild and pleasant dur? ing yesterday morning, but turneo cooler toward night. The fortieth anniversary of the A?tna Fire Com? pany will be celebrated at their hall to-night. A supper will be one of the features of the occasion. The Contest Social Club give their first annual ball at the South Carolina Hall, on Wednesday evening next. The Lincoln Guards, a colored militia company, marched through the principle thoroughfares yes? terday, headed by a drum corps and followed by a heterogeneous collection of humanity. They spent the morning at the cemetery, where an oration was delivered over the grave or a deceas? ed comrade. There will bea regular meeting of City Council this evening. One of the Christmas s'jns is the faa?ade of tor? pedoes that has commenced on the streets. The new front of Messrs. Cameron, Barkley A Co.'s building is nearly completed. A number of complaints against Uie fowl thieves have been lodged at the detective office. A good dose of shot would soon Bettie some of these marauders. The new office of the Express Company was oc? cupied yesterday, ami already presents a busi? ness appearance. The sidewalk on Hasel street Is a trine too narrow, but when thc shipping ls expedited, there need bc no blocking of the pas? sageway. Mr. N. Cullcton was the contractor for the building of thc new Express office, and all the work on Its erection was done hy him. SWEETS TO THE SWEET.-Christmas comes but once a year, yet there are some persons who know how to improve that brief opportunity. A glance at our advertising columns to-day will convince thc aspirant for Christmas cheer that Claussen's steam bakery and confectionery stores, in King and Market streets, has the "findings" for a No. 1 Christmas frolic. Thc catalogue of good things published is enough to make one's mouth water and to cause him to covet his neighbor's goods. Housekeepers and all who de? sire to keep a good old-fashioned Christmas are directed to apply to Clausse:.. and they will ob? tain al! necessary information. LAFAYETTE ARTILLERY CHARITABLE ASSOCIA?
