SUPERINTENDENT PEAKE.-In replying to Ute complimentary letter of thanks which the Augus? ta delegation te the Immigration Convention lately addressed to H. T. Peake, Esq., that gen? tleman takes occasion to say : "With reference to my re t Irin g from railroad management, I would simply say that ir I do not again put at your dis? posal the 'special car' or that road over whose In? terest I have watched tor fifteen years, I sincerely nope it will not be long before I have aa opportu? nity or ottering yon the use or one equally good upon some other road." THE MACON AND AUGUSTA RAILROAD.-The Sparta, Qa., Times notes favorable Indications for the early completion or the Macon and Augusta Railroad. A delegation, with Colonel Printup, or the Georgia Railroad, at the head, passed over to Miiiedgeviiie, on Monday, the 8th, and took dia? grams ter the crossings or the Eaton ton branch at MUledgevUle, and we doubt not that the castings will be ready at an early date. A construction train, loaded with iron, passed over on Tuesday, and, we learn, will remain on the new road until finished. It is hoped to have the road completed to Macon by October. This ls good news; for the; completion or the Macon and Augusta Railroad should add $200,000 the first year thereafter to the gttjss earnings of the South Carolina Rail? road. . STATE TAXES ON CITY PROPERTY.-The Co? lumbia Guardian, alluding to the statements on this (subject which have appeared in THE NEWS, says: There has been recently some discussion upon this matter in the Charleston papers. We find upon inquiry that the house upon the corner or Taylor and Pickens streets, rented In 1806 for $450 a year, which is $37 50 a mouth; and in 1870 (the year ending first or October) the rent is $360, which is $30 a month. The State tax on the sape In 1866 was $6 30; and In 1670 is $40. The assessed, value af the property ls said to be $5000. The other house referred to belongs to Mr. Theodore Scott, resident in New York. The rent of this house in 1866 was 4300. which ls $25 a month; and in 1870 the rent ls $192, which ls $16 a month. The State tax on this property in 1866 was $2 52; aad lu l?70 ls $10. These are actually the facts stated by the correspondent or THE CHARLESTON NEWS. Such facts are or course un? palatable to the Scott Ring and the present gov? ernment: but taxpayers are entitled to a knowl? edge of the facts, so that they may know what to do when the question or Retrencbment and Re? form comes up next October. We may add that oar informant has seen the tax .-ecelpts in, these cases. - " . ? ?9 EJtEcrmvB APPOINTMENTS.-The following commissioners or elections have been appointed by Governor Scott for the special elect temoin the First Congressional District, ordered te nil the va? cancy caused by the forced resignation of Whi? temore : Georgetown-E.

Verdict or the Jar}'-AIT?? of Rjillroad OfliciiiU- Th, ir Reless? on Ball. It will be remembered tiiat oa lust 8uaday week a collision occurred oa the South Carolina Railroad, abont five miles from the city, by which 41 colored boy named Thomas Weston Mlshew was killed. . A jury was summoned, of which Thomas Jeffer? son Mackey secured the foremaaship, 'he remain? der being colored men (nine 0: ten of whom signed their names with "their marks.'*) named as follows: Scipio Casey, Reuben Manuel, Joseph M. Duncan, Isaac Yates, William G. Lee. Peter T. Richardson, John Green, Stephen Johnson, James H. Howard, Thomas Mlshew. John Gibbes, John Butler, aadJBenjamln Ca tte:. After the 'examination of numerous witnesses the jory late Monday night decided "that the said Thomas Weston Mlshew was crushed to death by tke tender of the engine of the up-traln, being driven into the car of the down-train on which the said Thomas W. Mlshew was sitting as a passenger, by a collision with the down-train in the South Carolina Railroad, about four miles from Charleston, at or about forty-two minutes past three o'clock, on the afternoon of May Sth, 1870; that said ollision was due to the criminal negligence of J. J. Boyden, dispatcher on the South Carolina Railroad at Charleston, in failing to start said up-train at the proper time, and the criminal recklessness of Charles H. Rufflo, con? ductor on the said up train, in starting said train at a time when it was almost cer? tain that it would collide with the down passenger train, and to the crimina! reck? lessness of John Ay tes. engineer on the sala up-traln, in running his engine at the rate of nearly twenty -five miles an hour, knowing that there was a train coming ahead of him that was not bound to walt at the turnout for the special up-traln, and knowing that he had but one brake one his train of twenty cars. And the jurors further declare that the management of said road, in the want of precision In the starting or. trains, and in the dispatching of long trains, carrying passengers, with bat a single brake, and without a bell-rope, and without Instructions to shut off steam and move at a low rate of speed on approaching a curve of long radius, indicates a reckless disregard of human life and the safety of passengers on the part of the Sooth Carolina Railroad Company. And so the Jurors aforesaid, upon their oaths aforesaid, do Bay, that thc afore? said John J. Boy deo, Charles H. Rufflo and John Ayres, in manner and form aforesaid, Themas Weston Mlshew th e n and there feloniously did kill, against the jea-'e and dignity of the State." The coroner, on signing the verdict, notified the jory that, although the law compelled him to sign the same, yet he wished it understood that he did not concur with them In charging the parties therein named with felonious killing. Yesterday morning Mr. J. J. Boyden. dispatch? er on South Carolina Railroad, Mr. Charles H. Rutilo, conductor, and John Ay te?, engineer on the special train, were arrested and committed to jail, ball being refused. Later in the day the prisoners, through their counsel, Messrs. Duryea A Cohen, Simons A Siegllng, and J. A. Moroso, sued out a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Pringle, returnable at hair-past 5 o'clock P. M., m the City Court? room. At this hour the writ was returned, and, after long arguments, Jndge Pringle admitted the accused to bau In the sum of $2500 each.

The Mayor stated that lt was well known that the apartments of the Old Folks' Home were crowded, and as cases came bet?re him every day which he desired to send to the institution, but did not like to do no en account ot the present crowded condition, he would like Council to In? crease the accommodations there.

Yesterday was the "hottest day of r.he season,*' at least, such was the original remark of nearly every citizen. A LADY'S OPINION ABOUT WATER? ING CARTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. There may be poetry in watering carts, but there is precious little rhyme or reason. We are in favor of au the necessaries, and some of the luxuries, of the advanced civilization of the age; but we must be all allowed our own opinion as to what constitutes those luxuries and necessaries. We do not choose to range watering carts in either of these catalogues. They are neither use? ful nor ornamental. The fact is, we do not like watering carts, nor never did, and have long since voted them incorrigible and cnadulterated bores, especially on King street. And in the name of thc ladles of Charleston, especially those who promenade King street, we appeal to TBS NEWS, and to Mayor PUtsbury, and to Captain Jen ks, and to the police, the trial justices, and all others in authority, to come to the rescue, inter p ose your authority, and stop this infringement upon woman's rights; for women have rights that even watering carts should feel bound to re? spect. We know that the advocates ot* these heathen machines prate loudly and eloquently about their utility; but lt ls, after all, but a question between mud and dust,which turns upon a matter of taste, and we most emphatically cast our ballot, (or will when we have one,) for the latter. The mer? chants say that the dust Injures their goods, and forthwith it must be converted into mud. to soil and ruin our boots. And ls lt gallant or lu good taste to make the ladles suffer, to pander to the whims and caprices of the sterner sex ! We have suffered patiently and uncompiaialng ly for a long time, hoping that this annoyance might be removed by some other agency ; but we have waited in vain, and have at last reached that point where forbearance ends and despera? tion commences, and as a forlorn hope-a last re? sort-we buckle on our armor and demand our rights at the point of the pen. We have seen the crossings on King street so wet and muddy, as to be utterly impassable, ex? cept at the expense of a draggled skirt, a wet foot and a soiled gaiter; and perhaps followed hy a cold, cough and a doctor's bill. And now, we most ?pectfully and earnestly invoke the aid-of j THE NEWS in this humane and philanthropic cr usade In defence of woman's rights. Assist us In ridding the King street shoppers and pro men ade rp of this most barborous and Intolerable nuisance; and your petitioner, as In duty wund, will ever pray. KITTY KLOVER. BUSINESS NOTICES.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES. QUALITY STILL FURTHER IMPROVED. We beg leave respectfully to call the attention of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. As ten years have now erapsed since we first In? troduced them to the notice of the American pub? lic, we deem lt unnecessary at present to enter into a lengthy description of tnelr merits, AC. There ls hardly a etty or town of any note in the country into which the} have not found their way. The reason of this widespread popularity and dally increasing demand ls owing entirely to their peculiar excellence and Intrinsic worth. Being determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of the day, we have still further improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand without a rival. Our Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and delicacy of ila vor. It ls a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of VautUa Beaus. In short, we think it the best that ls made, at least, this ls the decision of the best Judges In the coun? try. We don't pretend to compete in price with many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of the day, which are really but worthless compounds, undeserving of the name. For quality and style, we defy competition. DAVIS A MILLER'S PURE YEAST POWDER.
