THE BEAUFORT MUBDEB_Additional partic? ulars, which we have received, ortho murder of Mr. Isaac Taten, about ten days ago, on South May River Neck, represent the deed to have been one of peculiar atrocity. The murderer, Btu, had been ordered off Mr. Tu ten's puce, and after re fusing to gp, shot that gentleman in the-most cold-blooded manner. None were more indig? nant at the srime than the negroes on the planta? tion, who promptly reported the facts to the nearest trial justice.

CIRCUIT COURT. Gantry, Frenan A 00. va Mary Agars et ah. Ordered 'hat complainants have leave to take ad du ional testimony lu this cause, and that John A. Bradley, K-c.., be empowered to act as commis? sioner. The court then adjourned until ll o'otock this morning.. TRIAL JUSTICES_The Supreme Court was engaged, on Wednesday, tn the hearing ;.or a cause involving directly the constitutionality or the trial justices' acta of 1870. The record In this case, which ls entitled "The state ex rel. Robert H. Adams va J. & Fine brown, trial Justice," shows that tn October last, Adams was arrested, tried and sentenced by FI; ie brown, trial justice, to imprisonment for fifteen days, or a fine of fifteen dollars, ror aa assault and battery. Bet?re the execution or sentence, Adams obtained a writ of prohibition from Judge Rut? land, and from this writ the present appeal was taken. The attorney-general retened to section io, ar? ticle 1, as plainly conveying the tdea or a purpose to provide for two tribunals of courts, namely: justices or the peace, "or other officer authorized by law." Again, section 1 of article 4 of the oon Btltutlun, m addition to the courts named, pro? vides- for such "inferior- courts" as the General Assembly may deem necessary. These two sec? tions were Tn harmony, and under them trial justices were properly appointed. The Jurisdic? tion, too, of section ie or article 1 was broader than that given ID section 22 or article 4, indicat? ing a design to provide for another court of higher powers than justices of the peace. Again, "infer.or courts,'* lu oar constitution, mean count Inferior to the Supieme Court. To this point were cited Bonvier, Just., No. 2629. Kempe's Lessee vs. Kennedy, 6 Cranoh, 184, 185, where Marshall sets forth the proper meaning of the term as "courts from which an appeal lies." . The attorney-general was followed on the other side by Major Spain, In a brier argument or much force and acumen. He vigorously comba tel the argumenta advanced, and held that the power conferred on trial justices was a gross usurpation ol the power conrerred by the constitution on justices of the peace Major Corbin closed the case, reinforcing the positions taken by the attorney-general, and especially enforcing the idea that the practical JaeUdlcUon which coald be exercised by justices of the peace under the constitution would bea nullity, amounting to no more courts. At the conclusion or the argument or Major Corbin, the court took up the ease of Osma Balley va. the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company. ' This case, involved the question whether the railroad company was liable to the former mas terTar the blreol slaves daring theyears 1861 and 1886, prior to tue cloie of the war. _THE EXTRAVAGANZ A o f the invisible Prince^ lEd?rltanc iB^.te7y.fflg.^vaH 'giren 'iMt-nlght ! kt the Academy, was; 'perhaps, the best perfor [ manee, thus far, of the weet.

NEW CUSTOMHOUSE. - The work on I-this fine building ls bung poshed forward In the most rapid ?ind energetic manner. In the iront on East Bay two magnificent Corinthian columns have been raised Into'position, and the others .hat will adorn the portico of the building are nearly hair completed. It was found impossible to raise the massive pieces of j tone rca.nl red for th? front of the roof with the Old derrick lately in use, and . under the superintendence of the contractor, Mr. ' Oakshott, a trew one of great strength and pow j erf ni leverage has beer built. It was put In posl- J tum a few daya ago, and raised the first piece of j marble of any great vi eicht yesterday 'aile moon, r The lofty mast stands on the roof of the building, - from which lt rises to Ike height of forty feet. It Is supported by four strong rope gays attached to the top and made fast firmly to four pries, driven at the corners of a large square, about four yards from the angles or the ba lding. The crane or boom reaches rrom the mast beyond tbe roof, a distance of about nr.eeu feet. The pulleys, tackles and cranks are all adjusted In the most complete and ingenious manner, and the whole -machine works m beautiful style. By the power of two men a ponderous marble- si lb was raised yesterday afternoon with au ease. CLUBS AND STARS.-Two white men In the moat painful state of lmpeonnloslty applied for lodgings at the Guardhouse on Wednesday sight, sind were discharged next morning by thc Mayor. William Hayes was arrested for lying down I drunk on East Bay, an 1 abo for vagrancy. This is the same Individual who was ti led and sent to jail a short time ago for stealing clothing from a boarding house where he was staying, on East j B iyi He was sent to t ie House of Correction for ten days by the Mayor, under the vagrant law. . A white man, who was practlclngjtumblerenl obn in a style slightly different from that of Mr. O'Reardon, became very drunk, and wak making night hideous on King.ureet, when a policeman took him tn charge. Ha^ pleaded ''first offence" beTore tbe'Mayor and vas liberated. Samuel Simmons and Moses Davis were arre* ted on Wedneaday night willie discussing a very inter* es ting question with their lists, In Cannon street. After a olstic in the Guard'.muse they m ide their appearance before the Mayor, by whom Samnei was sentenced to pay a line of $5 or go tb the House bf Correction for five days, and Moses was uncharged* ?. ' ; . The side walk of Wentworth street waa obstruct? ed on Tuesday night by a huge mountain of flesh, which, upon being punched by a policeman's elua, gave forth no equivocal sigua of life. The alcoholic effluvia pervading the vicinity sug? gested the explanation. Verb. sap. sac, and the mad m Une went foe the city.wagon. The pon der oas mass wskplacedthereon and depositadla the Guardhouse,By morning it had recovered Its powers of - locomotion, and when brought, before j tue Mayor commenced to speak la its defence. The Bery hue. or one of the prominent features- on its face forbade the usual plea of the first offence; but thc court was overwhelmed With a flow of elo? quence, never before heard within Its precincts, and the prisoner was discharged without the j usual fine. ' . ? ? t mm* -1 m MB. O A TBS O JV TMB ORCHESTRA QUE8TIOX. To thc AinBKment-Goir.g Public Of I Charleston. An artlole In THE NEWS, of Thursday, signed "Observer," would, m all probability, lend the publie to suppose that we ar? trying to save tke-j expense of an orchestra. Thia ls not the case, aa Mr. O'Reardon, the gentleman who plays the | piano, receives from me a salary of one hundred dollars per week* and hts travelling expenses, which, together with thirty dollars, for the use of ] the plano, and ten dollars for moving lt to and fro, ls really more than sn orchestra would cost. Secondly, we are compelled ti this course as lt would be utterly impossible for any orchestra we could engage, outside of the larger cities, to play the mu-ic of "Little Faust," "Prima Donna," Ac, Ac. with one rehearsal only, and, as we are obliged to change the bill every night, lt would bc impossible to-have more than one rehearsal for each. In New York, on the original production of "Little Faust,"it was rehearsed (and at the soli? cit?t lon of themusldaiis themselves) six or seven times, as the music was of so difficult a charac? ter. The same may Dc said'of the "Prima Donna of a Night;" and again, In Boston and Philadel? phia, tbe muslo, was. rehearsed repeatedly to en? able them (thebest of musical talent) to render lt satlsractorlly. In Buffalo, Albany and other. Eastern dries, we used the plano alone, and never failed to give en* tire satisfaction. Thirdly, with regard to the instrument used here, lt ls the very best my agent could procure m the city, although he offered- any price, and lt was tuned on Tuesday last, at a cost of ten dollars. - . Fourthly, I don't think lt ls really the public of Charleston, or, at least, those of them who patronize and support my company, that are t lie fault-finders ; nor ls it those who prefer har? mony to discord. I am satisfied that they who cry out about an orchestra would be quite con? tent if there were six lay Agares holding instru? ments, though they did not produce a note. Ia conclusion, this card is not intended as a reflection' upon the. critics of either of the city papers, aa lt la their right and duty to keep the cltlzena apprized of what ls going on In their midst, bat I protest, as every manager m the country wooli, against such au unusual occur? rence as any person not connected with a news? paper having the temerity to publish an article, claiming that article to be the opinion of the pub? lic, when that joarnal is provided with a critic more competent and undoubtedly better ac qualuted with public opinion than a private indi? vidual could possibly be. A theatre ls like a hotel, which offers its bill or fare to the public; if acceptable, lt will be sup? ported ; If not, there ls an ead to che concern. Now one word to "Observer" and I have done. I think the old legend of the man becoming rich by attending to hts own business ls app lcable lu this case. It ls the business of the manager to provide entertainment worthy of the audience which patronizes him; to elevate as much as pos? sible the style of snch entertainment. This I have made it a study to strictly attend to, never interfering with another man's style of doing business, or having the Impudence to teach him how to manage his own affaire. By so doing, I may safely say I have acquired a in tie fortune. lt ls the business of the critic of a newspaper to witness the entertainment, and to speak hon? estly ?nd ral ? ly of lt. A just criticism, no matter how severe lt may be, so that personalities are avoided, is always acceptable to a manager of sense, aa lt serves as a stimulus to his company, and keeps their energies from flagging. It ls the province of the public to see the entertainment, if they are so inclined, and as the Charleston public has honored me this season with three of the largest, most fashionable audiences my com? pany have ever played before tn this country, I take this opportunity of thanking them on be? half of myself and wife, and aasnrlng them that, with anything else bat the plano and the accom pan 1st whom we have with us, and who has been In my employ for two years, lt would be impossi? ble for us to give the same satisfaction. There le btu one city in the Soath where we ase an or? chestra, viz: New Orleans, where we play for three weeks-one piece each week, thereby giv? ing the musicians six rehearsals of each piece; and I am convinced m my own mind that, if the musicians or Charleston were afforded the same facilities, they would perform the music equally wau. I hare bees thoa explicit to show the Charlea t in public that I am acting tn the only manner that would secure to them an entertainment ! worthy of their support.
