Til IO MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
Fr ii ntl and Radicalism Carry tlic Day.
(FIlOM OCR OWN COHKESrONDENT.]
COLLU cr A. April 3.
For a week or more there lias been a gather?
ing of forces for Hie municipal elections iu Co?
lumbia under the new law-the extension act of
the last Legislature. Thc Radicals nominated
their ticket, consisting of Mr. Alexander for
May jr, and four whites and eight negroes Tor Al?
dermen-all Radicals. They gravely disclaim
making it a party matter at all, while they are
thus making it an out-and-out political party
movement.
The registration, which covered three days
Friday, Saturday and Monday-was managed
quietly; and nothing marked lt except thc eager
officious-n^sH with which the surrounding country
was scoured to bring into town thc negroes living
in thc neighborhood of Columbia. Such heavy
registration has never been known in any of the
wards before.
Tlie following ls the result in the several wards:
No. 1, 607; No. 2, 370; No. 3, 40C; No. 4, 674; giving
an aggregate or 1957 registered. Of these, a ma?
jority ot several hundred are colored.
Election day has thus rar passed off In compara?
tive quiet. The total vote polled ls 1709. Thc
Radicals claim a majority of from 350 to 400.
Many rraudnlcnt votes arc known to have been
cast. CORSAIR.
Another Account.
The Colnrabla Guardian, or Wednesday, says:
Though the result has not yet bern officially an?
nounce d, lt is considered pretty certain that the
Radical ticket is several hundred ahead. The
supporters or May??- McKenzie and or thc council
elected with him have reit such assurance In the
unconstitutionality or the act under which thc
election was ordered as a violation or thc city
charterand the vested rights or the present muni
ciparolTlccrH. that they have made but little effort
to influence the. election. The Radicals, on the
other hand, have strained every nerve and put
fori h their utmost strength. The jail was emptied
or its gullly inmates to serve their purposes for
the occasion, and the lodgment In a prisoners
cell claimed as a legal residence, so as io entitle
these worthy citizens of sable hue to vote. The
poorhouse, 'too. wc are credibly informell, was
called into requisition by thc Radicals, and wag?
ons and carts came to the polls laden with the
suffering colored Invalids of thc hospital, lt
would.indeed.be lamentable If. with all these
beautiful auxiliaries, and thc animating influence
or his Excellency's stirring address delivered a
few evenings ago. and intended to "Instil into
the minds or the Republican votera or Columbia
the Importance of registering," lc. Scott's min?
ions shall be dcpr.vcd or thc small .satisfaction of
hurrahing for their petty triumph.
We opine their joy will be but short-lived.
Mayor McKenzie and thc present council arc not
the men to quietly surrender their rights; and If
the courts will administer Justice as they have
heretofore done, will retain their offices until the
expiration or the time for which they were lalrly
elected.

A STRANGE. ? ALE OF THE SEA.
i'Ue St?ry of a Haunted Pishing Vessel.
A Boston letter of the 25th instant says :
About a vcar ago last month the schooner Andy
ohiii-ou, McLellan. master, of Salem, started Tor
;eorg. >s ?-tank on a fishing cruise, and has not
>ceu heard rrom since. About that time thc
lenooner Haskell came in collision with a vessel
u the night-time on the Hanks and sank her,
eaviag a large piece of the rall or the unknown
rossel on her bows. This piece corresponded with
he Andy Johnson's, and is supposed to be the
ast relic or her. The Haskell started last month
'or the Hanks, and the Urst night on the llshlng
rrouudshad bad weather. Fourorthemen were ou
leek, when suddenly there appeared to them lour
)f thc missing men or the crew ofnhe Johnson,
.vito ordered them home. They were frightened
Mid called the captain and the rest of the crew,
told them what they had seen, and prevailed on
hem to return home and give up the voyage,
A-hlch they did. leaving the schooner on her arri?
val. The owners then shipped a new captain and
;rew, as not one of the ronner crew would go lu
Mr, and she again left for thc Banks, where she
Arrived in good time, and they again tried their
luck. Bad weather again met tim schooner, and
when all hands were on deck eleven men appear?
ed to them and took their lines from them, order?
ing them to return at once, which they did the
next morning. Arriving at the harbor or Glou?
cester, they anchored the schooner ami took their
small boats to land, giving as a reason that they
were afra d to take the vessel to Gloucester, as
they were ordered to Salem. The owners scut a
tugboat and lowed th? lla-kcll to their wharf,
aud now she is repomd as having returned a
third time empty. This is a strange and curions
tale, but lt is vouched tor bv reliable parties a?
true. It has created a grc.it "tie ii or exclteraeut

rRESIDKKT'ti REPORT.

NonTiiEASTEiiN RAILROAD COMPANY,
CHARLESTON, S. C., Aprd 4. 1870.
Tv the Stockholders of the Northeastern Railroad
Company :
GENTLEMEN-Thc following report of the com?
pany's operations for the fiscal year ending 28th
February, 1870, ls herewith respectfully sub?
mitted : .
The gross earnings have been.$2Si,097 C3
The operating expenses have been. 159,560 23
Ralancc. $120,537 40
A comparison of these res'ulis with those of the
preccdiug year will show as follows :

$108,725 30 $120,537 40
Excess of net income for 18C9-'70. $11,81210
lu reviewing the above, you will observe an In?
crease of nearly fourteen per cent, in our freights
of the post year, which, if not large, is still an ac?
ceptable evidence of the gradually improving con?
dition of thc agricultural and other interests of
the country t li rough which our road posses.
During the ye:<r we have transported 22,850
bales of cotton, ju,TOO barrels of naval stores, and
3,sec.ooo feet or lumber, as against 18,988 bales,
40,521 barrell and 3,884.000 rcet the prevlousyear.
For thc cotton in our interior, and for much of J
the merchandise returning therefrom, wc have
been unable to compete successfully, In conse?
quence or the extremely low rates at which both
were being passed through Wilmington-growing
out ol a protracted und severe competition be?
tween rival steamship lines from that port, estab?
lishing rates infinitely lower than could bc afforded
by us, hy thc steamers Irora Charleston. The recent
consolidation, however, or these Unes induces
Hie hope that wc shall not, in the future, sunVi
thc same extent rrom this cause, and also that
arrangements may eventually bc made with our
own steamers, which will measurably counteract
this disadvantage. In our travel but little im?
provement is noticeab e. or. Indeed, was to have
been expected, as the circumstances arTecting it
have remained thc same a* at thc dato of our last
report. All reasonable facilities bare been given
tolt. but thc absence of any connection with the
system of roads south of us, together with the
spareness and still restricted means of the popu?
lation directly along our linc, Will obviously ac?
count for this result.
Tue opening ol the Savannah and Charleston
Road on the lilli ultimo, by placing ns indirect
communie,!mm with Savannah, Jacksonville, and
an the important points tu Florida and South?
western Georgia, and Urns establishing thc best,
shortest und most comfortable route by rail be?
tween St. Mark's, Florida, ami all the Non bern
cities, must considerably Improve our Ihrouirft
travel-but sufficient tune has no: yet elapsed for
us tn Judge of Its full ehVct.
Our operating cxpenseshave been heavier than
those oi Hie post year, which is to be explained
by an expenditure ul $10,.'>oo, upon the company's
wharr. the extension and Improvement ol which
had become necessary for Hie encouragement of
our business in lumber und phosphate rock. We
cannot, however, holli out the prospect or any re?
duction In them lor the ensuing year; nu the con?
trary, we must antic?pale their increase. It
should be borne in mind, that wc are now
operating the road with very nearly the same
machinery which we had In use before thc war,
the advanced age and Increased demand upon
which will, necessarily, entail constant atten?
tion and considerable expenditure to maintain
tts efficiency. To keep the motivo pownr ..nd va?
rious appliances of the company up to the stand?
ard requisite for the sure, regular and prompt
discharge ol thc duties and responsibilities it as?
sumes to perform, is one of those paramount
necessities which must bc mci. Wuh mis in
view, we have already contracted with the Rog
crs'Works for one new freight locomotive, and.
towards thc close of the yeur maybe compelled
to order another. We are also much lu need of
new Urst-cluss passenger cars as a substitute for
our present stock, the obi style and lengthened
service ol which render them better suited ror
second-class cars. We also require addition? to
our rolling stock, and more extensive depot ac?
commodations. In supplying these wants, how?
ever, wc shall, as heretofore, endeavor to avoid
pecuniary embarrassment, und only move as our
necessities shall from time to time dictate.
Under the authority conferred upon your bonni
at your las*, meeting, to rearrange the company's
bonded debt, in conformity with a plan then sub?
mitted,* new general mortgage was executed with
two preferences, securing au issue of 1010 "first
preferred" bouda, each for $5oo, amounting to
$820,00(1, and 644 "second preferred-' bonds, each
also for $500, ainouullng to $322.000. which bonds
were dated 1st of September. 1609, and were
made payable 1st September. 1899. with coupons
attached, representing au ?nteres: or seven per
cent, per annum. These bonds were to be ofl'er
ed In exchange for our past due obligations, in
accordance with Statements then made to you lu
demil. But after Uicy were partially prepared,
many <>f our bondholders demurred lo tue pro?
posed rate of Interest, urging that In view of
their friendly Disposition towards the company
and willingness to promote the readjustment of
Its deb!, they were at le.ist emitted to a
higher rate or interest. Arter due considera?
tion, this concession was yielded hy your
board, and anew issue of bonds mude, or same
tenor as the above, bearing an interest or eight
per cent, peraunum. This change involved some
delay, und it was not nul il very nearly thu close
or our fiscal year, that they were Unally executed
and retnly ror delivery. S? little progress bad
been made in their exchange up lo that date,
that .wedeemed lt best not to alter our accounts,
with reference lo them, but on this occasion io
present them in their original shape, us shown
below. We mav add that, up to ibis date, or thc
1640 first preferred bouds, we have Issued 12S3,
ami of the 614 second preferred bund", 4 US, leav?
ing of the entire issue of 2284 or $1,142 ooo but
536 bonds or $203,000 on hand.
The acknowledgements of the company are cer?
tainly due lo tho?c who have thus promptly re?
sponded to Hie only ptoposltion It was lu their
power to have otTered for the readjustment of ita
debt. An opposite course, and a resort to co?
ercive measures, would have Involved us in much
difficulty, and havu led to results scarcely war?
ranted by thc inconsiderable advautages which
might ultimately have attended it,

The ainouut or second mortgage bonds, origin?
ally issued, was $300,000. of which $145,000 were
soul; the remaining $155,000 were subsequently
pledged, ami deposited with trustees, as a securi?
ty ror a corresponding amount or preferred stock,
s'av $155.000. This preferred stock ls then virtu?
ally a substitute for that amoiiut. of second mort?
gage bond?. As this stock has served the pur?
pose for which lt was originally Issued, and as the
bonds of which it Is Hie representative now bear
the same rate of interest, there would seem no
valid objection lo its reconversion Into bonds, if
so desired by its holders. The preferred stock has
the simple advantage of bciUK regtsterd und trans
fvrrable onthe?company'a books, but macy would
prefer to forego this for the convenience ?f col?
lecting their Interest by coupous, and the greater
facilities of sale, transfer, Ac. Your board would
therefore suggest a compliance with such re?
quests, when made by ita holders, presenting the
equivalent of a bond.
With reference to our ccrtlucateaorindebtedncss
a word of explanation may here be proper. At
the close of the war, and while our road was in a
prostrate condition, we were pressed to adopt
some mode of settling our Interest coupons,
which had matured during that period and
never been presented. Their payment being an
Impossibility, we could only propose to fund them
in certificates of indebtedness, as had been done
by other companies and corporations through
ont the South, under similar circumstances.
These were accepted by a large number, while a
few (mainly capitalists) determined to hold them
until thc period should arrive for thc adjustment
of the company's debt, with the intention of then
demanding their settlement In bonds. As their
legal rights In thc premises were beyond dispute,
a compliance with their demands became subse?
quently unavoidable, lt is to be regretted that
our certificates or Indebtedness could not
have been so arranged as- to have en?
titled them rateably to tho. protection of
the mortgages for the particular .bonds of which
these coupons were a part; bat although the
etrort was made, there were legal and other diffi?
culties in the way which could not be overcome
To have given them this protection arter their
issue was also Impracticable. They arc now
simply the notes or the company, resting solely
upon Its credit and good raith, and hence lt ii
specially incumbent upon the rntnre management
or the company to make In advance, and us their
strengthened condition will permit, the necessary
provision lor meeting them at maturity. It is a
debt due by our stockholders, which should be
regarded as, in one sense, uot less binding upou
them than that to their bondholders, and though
not due until 1S75, timely provision ror its liquida?
tion should not be overlooked.
The road and Its structures arc generally In
good condition. Our motive power consists of
twelve locomotives, two of which arc under re?
pair. We have seventy box and forty-two plat?
form cars, thirteen first and secoud class passen
ger cars, of which Ave require renewal, repaint?
ing, Ac , and Ove baggage and mall cars.
In accordance with a resolution passed at your
last meeting, authorizing your board to encour?
age the construction of the South Carolina Cen?
tral Railroad, by such subscription towards its
capital stock as they might deem proper-to be
subject to your ratification-(hey beg to Inform
you thai they have subscribed towards the same
the sum of fifteen thousand dollars, and would
now respectrully ask you to raiIfy their action.
In view of thc importance of this road,- HS placin/
us In direct communication with Sun.ter, one of
thc most thriving or our Interior towns, nnd also
with the proposed branch or thc Wilmington and

pS- CAUTION.-AUDACIOUS COUN?
TERFEIT I-The reputation which for many years,
has attached to HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT?
TERS, as thc standard Tonic of the age. and the
large demand for the article, not only lu the Unit?
ed States but elsewhere, have provoked the cupid?
ity nf thc counterfeiting tribe, and it has been ex?
tensively simulated and Imitated by unscrupu?
lous sharpers.
The most daring counterfeit of said article
which has been attempted, has recently come to
our knowledge. The engraved steel label on bot?
tles containing the genuine bitters, with its beau?
tiful vignette of St. George and thc Dragon, Its
shield, containing a warning against counterfeit?
ers, and Us note of hand for "one cent" nt the
foot, signed by our firm name, has been copied so
closely that thc fraud can only bc detected on a
minute inspection. The dark label is also well
counterfeited, and the wording on both the lmlta
tation and genuine are precisely the same, the dif?
ference being simply in the execution of thc work;
that of the imitation being somewhat coarser
than the penunie. Other counterfeits arc on the
market, which are la all particulars the same as
described above, with thc exception of a slight
difference iu thc spelling of our name.
In addition to thc above, these counterfeiters
have gone so far In some instances as to place a
strip of paper over the cork and fasten to the neck
of thc bottle, on which ls a vignette, and other?
wise printed to* resemble the general appearance
of our proprietary U. S. Revenue stamp, but upon
Inspection will disclose thc absence of the figure
"4," and the words "four cents," also "United
States Intcrual Revenue," all of which, together
with additional wording, appear on our genuine
stamp. Thc public are, therefore, especially war..
cd against these new counterfeits, and arc advis?
ed to purchase HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT?
TERS only of houses whose Integrity is above
suspicion. The true specific ls sold In bottles ex?
clusively-never In bulk.-HosTETTKii A SMITH.
