The commissioner is sMi bu-y Issuing warrants against parties in* Beaufort County for mega: voting. _V_ BLOWING HOT AND COLD.-Ola winter has evinced the highest degree or caution this season in making his annual approach towards our sun? ny Sooth. Advancing like an old shivering de crepld as he" ls, we have only felt the premonitory applications or his staff, as h% feels his way cau? tiously Southward. On the 1st of September last the thermometer rose to 90 degrees, to which height it has not since attained, and on the 22d lt sank to 70 degrees. Its lowest figure during the same month. In Ootober lt never rose higher than 86, nor fell below 60 degrees; it however rested at the latter figure several times during the month. The hottest day In November sent the mercury up to 80 degrees, and the cold snap, about the loth, brought it down with a rush to 46 degrees, the lowest lt has yet been this fall or winter. During the present month the average range has been visibly lower than tn the preced? ing month, although its lowest figure has been but 47 degrees. It has never risen higher than 63 degrees. This forbearance bas been appreciated by the poor and needy. Without wishing Winter any harm, we hope he wdl defer his visit as long as possible and .make a short stay when he does come.

THB CITY DUST. Notice of a bill to relieve the City of Charles? ton from a portion of the debt by which it ls now oppressed, having been given by Mr. Hurley, a member of the House of Representatives, we have deemed the matter of sufficient Interest to obtain an expression of tue views of our principal capl tallsts and financiers as to the propriety of carry lng ont the plans intimated. These plans Involve, first, a transfer of all the railroad assets ro the treasurer of the State;-second, the 1st nc of a five per cent, currency bond In lieu thereof, to run twenty years; third, the submission of the ques? tion to the voters of the State, on the first day of Blay 1871, as to whether the State shall assume the debt; and finally, the imposition of a special tax to meet the Interest on said bonds, which shall be known as the "City of Cha-lenton State funded bonds." It ls a well-known fact that the municipality of Charleston, in past years, was liberal In Its appro? priations for public purposes to an extraordinary degree. Perhaps no city in the United States, through its morned men, made grander or more self-sacrificing efforts in behalf of the Stat j at large than were put forth here. In fact, the con? centrated capital of Charleston, held by Its banks and employed by its factors and merchants, rep? resented in part the wealth of the State. That which benefited the one, benefited the other. Hence, an investment in the Memphis and Charles? ton Railroad, in the South Carolina Railroad, In the Northeastern Railroad, in thc Blue Ridge Railroad, In ihe Greenville Railroad, or In any other similar enterprise, which looked to the de? velopment of thc Interests of Charleston, was re? garded as equally tributary to the best interests of every other port ion of South Carolina. While, therefore, the responsibility ol the debt was vest? ed here, every property-holder In South Carolina who derived benefit from thc same, who enjoys railroad communication with the rest of mankind, owes lt to hlroself and to his State, In this hour of our trouble, to aid In lifting the weight which hangs like a millstone around tue neck of our City by the Sea. True, no legal obligations may devolve upon him; no process of law may force him to share in the indebteness, albeit lt was Incurred for the general purposes of the public; but there is a moral tie which should be sufficiently strong to provoke the citizens of South Carolina to repay somewhat of the good that has emanated from old Charleston In thc past. . Again, lt ls to be borne lu mind that Charleston, aa a corporation, has never derived any direct profit from her Investments lu railroads. The rates of transportation have been scarcely more than sufficient to pay expenses, and dividends were comparatively Impossible. The close of the war and the impoverishment of the people in? creased the difficulties, and hence to day we are deeper in the mire than ever. If the State assumes this railroad debt, lt will be so divided among the people for twenty years that the burden will scarcely be felt by any one. That lt can be done without a violation of the constitution ls generally conceded by the best lawyers and publicists. That the question need not be referred to the people ls a point also equally established. The Legislature alone, In Its wisdom, may enact such relief as may seem most proper, and, as the representative of the people, accomplish a work that will advance Charleston to the commercial position to which she ls en? titled as the cuier city of th? South Atlantic coast. Ftaally, with this ladebtedness lifted, the value of property will be euhanced a hundred per cent. ; capital, now withheld, will pour in apon us; taxa? tion will be reduced; building enterprises will be encouraged, and prosperity bless the people on every hand. It ls the general opinion of our citi? zens that the Legislature should move promptly In thc matter. The other proposition made ls that the city government or Charleston shall be? come a general Insurance company. THE CITY INSURANCE QUESTION. On this polut very decided objections are ex? pressed by business men. The; rn? no benefit that can result to them by relyiug upon a city that s unable to pay Interest upon Its debt) for in? surance against fire. A similar proposition to hat of Mr. Hurley was made manj^ years ago, ?ut was not entertained by thoughtful men. In- 1 leed, the expense of the flory seasons of 1838 and ' .881 demonstrate that few, If any, local cora lanleaxan take thc risks and pass unscathed ;hrougU a great conflagration. They are almost rertaln to be ruined. How much more so a treas iry like that of Charleston. It is said that no insurance company with a ?apltal of less than a million of dollars can do a mcceasful business, for a series of years, and lenee the reason why Northern and British com? panies possess the conscience of thc business ;omrannlty. They do an enormous and wide? spread business, and possess the ability co pay ;ash. Again, lt ls urged that the foundation of ;he success of the best Insurance companies ls ?onfldence. A majority of the customers depend pn the agent to put them In a good company, and lew few under present circumstances would rely >n the city government. Finally, and conclusively, nearly eighty millions }f dollars are represented by the agents of north? am compauies In Charleston, while the entire property o f t he city ls assessed at hboot t wen ty ml I lons of dollars. It follows, as a matter of course, ?hat busluess men will not bow before new Idols ivhen thc old have succsssfully served their pur? pose, stood the test of time, and won the conn lenee or the community. The above are the views briefly stated of disin? terest, Intelligent citizens, and may be relied apon as indicating tho current of public sent i lient. CAVED IN.-For a few days past our mother Barth has exhibited several symptoms of hollow aess, and, Jndglug by her frequent yawning, seems to have just awaked from a long sleep. Numerous holes have suddenly appeared In our streets, and several traps have thus been laid for travellers, both biped and quadruped, along our thoroughfares. The city railway In particular seems to bc a special object of her retaliation, on account of the continu? ous imposition bf tts railroad, and the heavy ;ars passing along lt. In Meeting street, nearly opposite Barns Lane, a large cave sudden? ly replaced thc solid par? ment, on Monday^ast, just between the two rails of the track, and in the ac? customed path or the ho; ses. Thc cavity yester? day was as wide as the tracks and undermined lt to a depth orten feet or more, making it necessary ror the horses to be taken out and thc car pushe 1 across by hand. A similar one or smaller dimen? sions appeared beneath the track lc Went? worth street, between Klug and St. PhiMp, and one also in Rutledge avenue, opposite Mdt street In Trodd street, near Legare, an Impromptu well, likewise requires a beacon light at night to warn Incautious perambulators of their Thale-lan dan? ger. These rreaks are .something unusual In the role or old Tellus. and arc generally attributed to the washing of the drains, caused by the he ivy rains that have recently fallen ia the city. The holes are at present being rapidly lilied up and packed to their former solidity. Some of them are already finished. CLUBS AND STARS.-Richard Holmes, lodged ror larceny or a pair or shoes and vagrancy, was sentenced to make good thc damages or his or fence, and upon his paying for the articles In question, the prosecution was ended to the satis? faction of all parties. A. Bingley and w. Jackson, arrested tor fight? ing in Calhoun street, were tried, and the latter sentenced to pay a Hue or S5, or go to the House or Correction for ten days. Bingley having played rather a passive part, got off with $3 or five days. A destitute old man, named S. Peytte, applied ror lodging, and was sont to the Old Folks' Home. Gus Williams, a notorious old offender, charged with several larcenies of clothes, watches, pistol and moue?, ?ind who had been captured by Pri? vate Simmons, of the police force, had a prelimi? nary hearing before the Mayor, and was remand? ed for farther examination. Dave Williams was tried on a charge of larceny of a pan-of pants from Quash Howland. The of? fence was proved, and Dave was sentenced to pay a fine ot%2 and costs, and return the pants to the owner. CHRISW?S IS COMING! II I NT 8 FOB THE GIFT SEASON. What to Bay, and Whert to Get it. The Christmas holidays are again at hand a season welcome to all. To the man of bnsl ness, because lt is to bim the harvest time, In which he reaps the fruits of his investments. To i he man of leisure, because it opens anew the channels of activity, and lends an increased charm to onr city, giving it an aspect of Ufe and enterprise. To the wire and little ones it lu in? deed a season which is gladly welcomed, bring? ing as lt does 6ome token of remembrance and love from kind parents and husbands. During the next two weeks our retail dealers must expect to be kept busy, ns the many thousands or our in? habitants will be looking out for presents, and se? lecting the place at which they can advantageous? ly purchase the same. With a view to keep our readers posted where to make their holiday selec? tions, we shall, from day to day, lay before them brief notices of the prominent business Arms or our city, who have laid in large stocks, and made ample provisions for the demands that will be made upon them. The acknowledged headquarters for jewelry seems to be James /lian's attractive establish ment, No. 307 King street. -Every day cnn be seen In this store a large number of shoppers, making ^elections from the large stack on hand, which comprises fine gold and silver watches for ladles and gentlemen, guard and opera chains, lockets, bronze and Parian statuary, studs, sleeve-buttons, opera glasses, and, In fact, all articles of fine ware usually kept by a first class JeweUer. Mr. Allan has marked his? goods down to the very lowest figure, and purchasers of presents should avail themselves or the opportunity to make their selec? tions at once. or course for the holidays thc substantials for supplying the tuner man mnst be looked arter. Plum puddings and ?Laer goo l things or this line must be prepared. A due assortment of groce? ries can be found at the well stocked store of E. E. Bedford, (late W. S. Corwin & Co.'s.) Mr. Bed? ford has rcceutly received, and Is offering Tor sale cheap, a large assortment of fine liquors or all the popular brands and grades. In addition thereto a choice selection or all kinds or fine groceries has been mado by him, specially intended ror the holi? day season. A new dres' pattern ls always an acceptable gift, as lt is an article of adornment and real worth. A lover cannot make his sweetheart a present which will merit more favor In her eyes than a nico silk dress, jvith a view to accommo? date their many patrons who will wish to pur? chase all kinds of dry goods, Messrs. Furchgott, Benedict & Co., Nos. 244 and 437 Klug street, have, with the greatest or care, ohosen a select stock adapted for presents, and marked lt down at the very lowest figure. Those contemplating making presents of dresses or any article of dry goods should bear this fact In mind, as by visit? ing either the up-town or the down-town stores of this firm the latest novelties can be procured at a, small advance on first cost. For a lady we know or no present of more real value than a sewing machine. AB au article of furniture lt ls a welome present, and then th* amount or laboMt_will save the possessor will cause her always to remember wltn gratitude the donor. Had-uch a valuable Invention been pa? tented years ago, the beautiful "Song of the Shirt'' would never have been called forth. There are many different makes or sewing machlrcs, but, according to the testimony of thc ladles, the Wilcox i Gibb-?, the Weed and the Singer ma? chines, unquestionably head the li?t as the favor? ites, nie agency of the first two is at D. B. Ha Belton's, No. 307 King street, and of the latter at No. 197 King street. ir thc. c be a condition lu lire in which a man feels out of sorts lt ls when his clothlug becomes seedy. The great complaint seems to bc that clothing costs so much money that people cannot afford to te lenlsh their wardrobes. To such we will give a word of advice. Some morning pay a visit t J J. H. Lawton & Co.'s new and magnificent establishment tn the Academy or Music building* and he surprised at thc small outlay it will require to procure a well-fitting suit of clothes made lu modern style, and you will purchase forthwith, and never regret the call. ir your purse ls limited, and you wish to lay In you good cheer Tor Christmas at the very lowest figures, try that modeit but well known est?bil?h meut at thc corner of Anson and Society street, Wllsou's Grocery. Any commendation or Wilson, er the prices and quality of his goods, ls rendered needless by the rael that he so constantly keeps his ?torc before thc public though the me llum or thc advertising columus or TBS NEWS, that thc cheapness and goodness of hld stack lias already become a household word through the whole com? munity. Mince pies are undoubtedly good things; but making mmcc meat ls very troublesome, and housekeepers would consult their Interest by buy lug their mincemeat at John Uurkamp ?is Co., corner King and Broad streets. An ill-fitting boot or shoe li something which will cause feelings of remorse to pervade the mind <>f the unfortunate posse.-sor of the same, ir one has a really w? ll-made aud fitted boot, thc ques? tion woul 1 be a-ked about a dozen times a day, where did you purchase the same T It ls a matter or much surprise to asccilair that lu nearly every Inutilice thc reply ls, "I purchase! my goods rrom Jacol?Stelber, No. 41 Broad street." Go there, un-. fortnnat*, and do likewise, and ycu will never re? gret it. What can be pleasanter i?r prettier, as a Christ? mas gift, than a nlcely-Uttlug glove, brought out, it may be, from Paris by balloon, for the especial delectation of the customers of Cflcrbardt's dry goods store, at the northeast corner of King and Market streets r After all, Chrlstraas-iIde is the chlld'cn's time or merry-making. Then they plead most piteous- ? ly ror dolli, trys, tea-sets, and other amusement giving paraphernalia, which, like promises, are made only ta be broken. These may be round In infinite variety at the fine King-street store of Goutevenler Bros., who havejaat received a large addition to fielr stock or Christmas girts. E. Scott, or the ramous star Shirt Depot and gentlemans' furnishing store, on Meeting street, near Market, offers admirable inducements m view of the' holiday season. Anything required In the shape ot pius, per? fumery or prescriptions, expressly prepared for Christmas, eau be had at the apothecary atore or Dr. Baer, on Meeting street.

Our readers wUl bear In mind that Bart A Co., coiner of Church and Market,streets, aro prepared to sell, ot flic lowest rates, a large as Hortm-utof the best fruits and vegetables in the market. Christopher North once sang, Ohl fill my cup with whiskey-punch And I'll not ask for wine, and lt ls auppo-ed Miat the writer or The Nodes was t..eu inspired by one of the ramous brands of Whiskey sold by Byrne Sc Fogarty, at the corner of Church and Chalmer streets.

The boy observed that he did not object to bolted flour, bat prererred the door unbolted. The mas? ter not relishing the Joke, hiade a rush at him, and having administered several blows lo the face, wound up by giving him a sevore choking. The suit was the consequence, and on the trial the baker admitted that, although, his boy was a very well-bred fell iw, he stood In knead of beating to make him rise, and that he had done it up brown. .Themaster was fined five dollars and costs, and the boy finding his cake dough on both side?, left In rather a crusty humor.
