UNITED STATES COMMTSSK) NKR.-Shad rack Brien and Sandy Aleck, managers of elections at Rice Hope poll, on the Savannah River, were brought before Commissioner Forteous, yester? day, for neglecting tuc duties or their office du? ring the late election.

"_ EEHOE ACQUITTED.-Prank Kehoe was ar? rested yesterday morning hy Officer Davis,charged with a teal lug a gold watch and a pair or boots from a vessel now lying at one of the wharves. A preliminary examination was held, In which Kehoe owned up to the possession of the boots. Upon the trial, however, which took place yester? day afternoon, lt was found that the prosecutor had disappeared, without further Inquiry about the watch, and, a shrewd suspicion being enter? tained that the latter was the real criminal, Kehoe was discharged. COOL ROBBER T.-On Tuesday night the apartment of Mrs. Brown, at No. 20 Mazyck street, was entered by thieves, who took a trunk from under the bed in which that lady lay sleep? ing, and carried lt off.

Several pieces or clothing ware left tu the trunk. Mrs. Brown states that she awoke stupefied and with \ strange smell in the room, from which lt Is in? ferred that the thieves made use or chloroform to inlet their victim while they performed the job. THE CAROLINA DRAMATIC CLUB.-Hibernian H?niait night was largely Ulled by aa appr?cia* -ive audience of invited guest?, assembled to wit? less the dramatic performance of the above lamed club, an organization composed of a num? ber or the live young men or Charleston, who seek to amuse and Interest themselves with dra? matic studies.' The plays selected for the occa sion were William Tell and Bombastes Furioso. Without particularizing the several actors, we may say'generally that both plays were well ren? dered, considering the novel situation or ama? teurs ror the first time in the presence or a crowd, and an amount br impromptu excellence shown Which speaks well for their training. ATTEMPT TO SWINDLE PUNISHED,- A woman who keeps a clothing' store in King street, iras yeaterday brought before a trial Justice Jharged by a colored, maa with.swindling him )ut of a pair or pants. It was shown that the prosecutor had entered the defendant's store, and laving purchased, among-other articles, a pair of ?ants, left them ou thc counter. He fortunately tad a friend along who was a witness to the pur :hasc, for on returning aud demanding his rnweara. t.li? ilHlomiayt miiu 1. a .1 oarried ! N"m iff, and that they were not In ibo store. The >roaecutlon waa thc consequence, and' a clear .aie having been made oat against her, the de? fendant offered to restore the missing trowsers, Y h ich the justice permitted, but he also permitted ter to choose between paying a nne of ten dollars ind costs or spending the coming twenty-five laya in Jail. ._ ' PYROTECHNICS.-The proclamation o? the Hayer prohibiting pyrotechnic amu8emcnts at arge, and confining the display to certain locali? t?s, is au excellent thiug in its way. It ls calcu ated to prevent much profanity, spare needless Alarms to timid persons and quadrupeds, and nay possibly save a house rrom destruction. But Dy aU meaus let thc edict be enforced.' Last year mme policemen failed to see a fire cracker under their very noses; permitted the reckless letting }h* of torpedoes, aud were' blind to rockets, makes aud chasers. The boya ought to have their fun, but the public streets, and between the feet ? of promenaders, are not places they should select for the explosion of their gunpowder plots. So, little fellows, look juli And you, Messieurs Policemen, keep your jptlcs wide-awake for all such microscopic of? fences. Don't hurt tho young culprits, bat scare em. FIRINOT TORPEDOES.-On Wednesday evo nlng Samuel Mitchell an'l Louis Orawford, In an? ticipan m of Christmas and the good time com? ing', provided themselves with various explosive and fulminating articles, which they were flrlug off for their amusement and much to the annoy? ance of Ute passers-by. Among their aranuaitlon were a lot of torpedoes, which they fired in the ro'Jowlug ingenious manner: A subject is se? lected from the crowd of passers-by, always a persou of nervous temperament-a woman pre? ferred. Tue operators stand 'n a good place on the opposite side of tho street, apparently obli? vions of all except their conversation. As the Bubject gets directly opposite, the Instrument is thrown violently agaiustthe wall, about eighteen Inches from the ear of the subject. The deafen? ing report which roilows acts very similarly to a galvanic shock, and always elicits a scream and involuntary dodge, hut its complete triumph is a fault. Fully alive to these general principles, Sam and Louis were having a high old time in Ball street, when the report ol the torpedoes aroused" a policeman. The two young operators were collared and taken direct to the Guardhouse, and upon being brought bet?re the Mayor next morning, pleadc 1 Christmas and the license or the tunes. The Mayor put in his proclamation as a replication, which was unanswerable, and thc two were marched off to thc House or Correction for five days each. . -? Hotel Arrivals- December 23.

The anniversary dinner of this time-honored organization was given last' evening ?tithe ? Charleston Hotel, and in all respects was a decid? ed success. A large number of the representa? tive men of the North, who have resided in Charleston for many years, were present, besides not a few invited guests, who have learned to re? gard the annual celebration of the New England Society as an episode to be remembered. . The dinner Itself was a very handsome affair, and provided by "mine host" Jackson in his best style. The tables were elaborately decorated with flowers and pieces of confectionery, appro. pri?t el y designed for the occasion, and were in themselves calculated to provoke the appetite of a dyspeptic Conspicuous among these designs was a very beautiful representation of the Land? ing of the Pilgrims, the rock, the boats, water and figures, being as faithful copies of the wei!, known picture of the scene, aa a most accom? plished German artist could make them. In fact, we venture to say that that historic piece or stone-, work never looked more sweetly poetical, or less suggestive of uncompromising sterility than on the present occasion. It was especially worthy ol notice, and commanded it freely from all present. Tho Ladies* Ordinary, in which the dinner was given, was also tastefully arrayed for the pur? pose. The sides and ends of the room were draped with the State, United States, English, Irish, Prussian and French flags, and between these were portraits lu oil of the former presi? dents of the soolety. At eight o'clock, to the music of Muller's Band, the assembled guests marched in and took their respective places at the tables. James B. Betts, Esq., presided in the absence of the president, and, after a blessing by the Rev. Mr. Cutler, the company fell bravely to the evening's task. Thc following are thc regular toasts announced: L The Day We Celebrate-Dear to the hearts of the children of New England, wherever they mav be. May this return of it strengthen the tie's which shonld bind us as fellows of this society, and citizens of a common country. This was responded te by Rev. Mr. Cntler in an eloqeeat an ? charming vein-such as might be expected from one who has made so eminent a reputation as a divine. 2. Our Sister Societies-Colaborers in the cause of Charity, may we all be successful In the great work so much needed at this time. Hon. James Simons made the response to the above, acquitting himself In that happy manner which always characterizes his efforts on similar occasions. 3. The Press-The palladium of hnman liberty. Wtiea properly conducted, the organ of public happiness, wealth and security. Barrett Cohen, Esq., always prompt and grace? ful, answered for the "Fourth Estate." 4. Woman-When properly set, the crowning jewel of humanity. Response by R. S. Bruns, Esq., who paid tribute to the sex la "words that breathe and thoughts that burn." The following letter from Judge Car? penter was read: I . LETTES Y ROU HON. It. B. CARPENTER. CHARLESTON', s. c., December 21. J. B. Rena, J. B. Steele, ana H. E. Williams, ? Bsqs. : GENTLEMEN-I have thc honor to acknowledge your favor of this date, Inviting me to be present : at the anniversary or the New England society on tue 22d Instant. At the same time I am pained that professional engagements out of the city will deprive me or the pleasure I should certainly enjoy on such an occasion; for lt la one which suggests topics ol vast Interest-historical and speculative. New Englnnd. since its first settle? ment, notwithstanding some peculiarities of a re? ligion* and political character, which do not com? mand the assent of my judgment, bas ever been a fruitful field for tho phU isopher, philanthropist and statesman, with a utnall territory, sterile soil and Inhospitable climate, sho has and still continues to exercise a commanding Influence In the affairs of the nation. The eloquence of her sons bas been heard lu the most important de llberative assemblies in' the United States. And how diversified has been that eloquence I The Olympian massiveness .or Webster,.the tro? pical luxuriance of Premiss, and the oriental magnificence of Choate t The keels of ber ships have ploughed every ocean, and her Inventions have lightened the labor of every civilized coun? try. Her commercial, manufacturing, agricultu? ral and financial systems are models for Imita? tion. Her educational and benevolent institu? tions have been produced from no other soil, and are peculhr In their origin to herself alone. Burubove and beyond all this, and more Im? portant to the ure or tho State, has been her rev? erential love of and obedience to LAW. Not the W oMfi{^ni5i.Vh2i-ft Mn^^'r^raclrc^ without re'erence to the tights or regard Tor the sentiments or the minority, bat that ?able, constitutional law founded in the Jus? tice and enlightened by the reason of the State. In this latter quality, South Carolina has more re? sembled New England than the other Bister States. The throes of the mighty revolution, through which she, In common with her South? ern sisters has paved, and the train of social and political evils that have followed the transfer or the control nf her educational and charitable Institu? tions in many cases, to the rapacious and unscru? pulous, placing th?* coveru ment in the hands of Ig? norance, and the finances in.those of mendlcano.v, have, to some extent; eclipsed the steady lights of law and social order. Let lt, howev r, be our part, in common with nil good citizens, to renew and replenish this affection for. law, engrave lt deeply In the hearts of our people, strengthen lt by example and private virtue, and teach our children that, whatever attracts to lire all that ls charming in the social or useful In the political sphere, we owe to thc lnuircling presence or the LAW. I have'the honor, gentlemen, to be. your obedi? ent servant, R. B. CARPENTER. After the regaler toasts, "volunteers" became the order of the night, and many good things were said thereon, which we regret the Christmas pressure on our columns compels us to omit. The evening was delightfully occupied, the pleasures were thoroughly refined, and thc happiness of all who participated in them will doubtless be among thc most agreeable reminiscences or these closing hours of the year. _ _ BUSINESS NOETIC EB.
