ON SUSPICION.-Jim Cony era, a colored man, was arrested yesterday morning by Officers Lov? ett and Flynn, and lodged at the Detective office, on the charge of robbing Mr. H. Bischoff 'a house. From the manner in which the gates and doors bimbeen secured and were found next morning, it seemed plain that the robbery had been perpe? trated by some one on toAiwemues, and Conyers, who was emp!oye*?as a servant about the house was arrested on suspicion. Two gold watches and several articles of> clothing are missing. 1 ne prisoner ls held for examination. EARLT CLOSING-.-T?? general depression In trade which usually sets in wich the approach of liot weather, and lasts through the summer months, 16'now upca us. The huge piles of boxes full of goods no longer block up the pavement in front of our wholesale houses, and the early part of the morning suffices generally fer the par chasers at the reralt stores to accomplish - their business. The clerks Ibu ge at the doors, and shlrt-slee7es and straw haw are the height or the' business fashion. The "bosses" are thinking or going North to arrange for the fall opening, and the young men discuss the respective merits and chances of the boats lu the coming race-. Heat makes iron contract, and it seems tn affect tu dealers in iron sooner than those who handle other commodities. Ia view of this state of things, the hardware houses have inaugurated the early closing movement for this season, a; d are duly shut up at ?o'clock Saturday afternoon. The example ls usually followed about this season of tin year, and we doubt not all our jobbing bouses will soon give their clerks this little bit of weeklr recreation extra. What sayeth the Scrip -turey The merciful man ls-merciful to ala clerks. THE BOAT RACE.-An error in the statement furnished to our reporter or the distance rowed in throat race of Saturday last made our Savan? nah neighbors open their eyes very wide. "Can't be did," ls the comment of one of their papers, to which one of our muscular oarsmen make th re? ply: Dear friends in Savannah, We dou't like the manner In which you review, The story most true, Of a race that took place Here in Charleston. And we now beg to state, Before 'tis too late, That we're really afraid, A slight error we made In not rightly stating the distance. And hope that you'll pardon us, And not be too hard on ns, .

Important Preliminary Meeting Speech of General John A. Wagoner* Ia "response to a circular lu vi tat iou from General John A. Wagener, a goodly number of citizens, comprising well known representatives of all classes and colors, assembled at 8 o'clock last evening at Llndatedt's hall to take counsel together concerning ihe approaching city elec? tion. Captain George H. Walter was cajled to the chii'r, and Messrs. St. Amana aud c: Kerrison, Jr., were appointed secretaries. Oaptalu Walter, on taking the chair, adverted to the Importance of?tbestruggle on which we were entering; and while avowing his resolve to give a hearty sup? port, to whomever might be.the nominee or the citizens, declared that lt would give him gre?, pleasure Indeed LT the nomination should fall on General Wagener. This sentiment was'greeted with enthusiastic applause. A full and free dis? cussion followed, "in the course of which lt be? came apparent that the sense of the meeting was strongly m favor of nominating General Wag -enerfor the Mayoralty. That-gentleman being called for, addressed the meeting as follows B BK ARES OF GENERAL WAGS NBR. Jfr. President and Gentlemen-Whilst grateful? ly acknowledging your friendship and kindness La responding so numerously to my Invitation, 1 must, nevertheless, respectfully ask your pa-don for having taken* the liberty to call you together. I had been waited on by citizens or all classes of this community to become a candidate ?or the Mayoralty of Charleston, and had consented, provided I could obtain the nomination or the va? rious wards by their representatives in conven? tion assembled, and based upon the principle or a canvass for "oj'lewl e?eiertey, economy in puolic expenditures, financial integrity, judicious im? provement, a /air representation of every in? terest, class and color, and equal justice to all." T?ere ure severa' candidates .proposed, besides myseir, ror the public suffrage, and I have no doubt tuey are all well qualified to "do justice' to their constituents." Bot the impending canvass demands umtty ofaction, and not so mich for personal claims as for a tfvffcet-wlrtCh'ShaBT'epre seut hest end strongest all the various classes and interests of oar community, whilst, at Me same time, affording a reasonable guarantee for a judicious, efficient, Just and progressive ad? ministration. I did not know of the action of Ward 8 when J issued my invitations; I did not, however, desire your attendance as canvassers* for myseir, al - ' though your favorable opinion ls very gratifying to me; but to take such counsel and, ir deemed proper, to Initiate such measures as may lead to a fair expression of the public will, to an ad? vancement of i he good of all, and to a speedy or? ganization or the various wards. In this Ward-8 ?as already acted, and perhaps' the other wards will rollow promptly. Odder these circumstances, which I could not foresee, lt might seem that our conference was unnecessary, but no hara eau result if you will kindly pardon me the trouble I have caused you. I maj be permitted to add that, if my fellow cltizeus should select me as their banner-bearer la the Impending contest, I shall cheerfully de? vote all my energies to tbe task, and if I should be victorious, I shall honestly endeavor so*, to act that my friends will io ve me more, and? my ene? mies and opponents hate me less. If, however, another banner-bearer should be chosen, f shall -as cheerfully withdraw from the held, aud never be a sfumWing-bloek lu the way of his success. In, this I propose to serve the* community of my adoption, abd not myself; I am no officer-hunter. Taus, ML President and gentlemen, I trust I have' given-&reasonable explanation or thc liberty 1 have taten, ?nv\ you will not deem me presumptions, nor as intending to grasp aa unfair advantage. I shall not ask you to utter a single sentence lu favor ot my aspirations, but merely to set the bali in motion that shall redeem our good old city from her anomalous condition. The General's speech waa repeatedly interrupt? ed with applause, and Us close was followed by loud and prolonged cheering. A resolution suggestive of the composttloo* of the ward delegations to the city convention was laid upon the table because of the objection -that anything savoring of a dictatorial attitude OB the part o: Wi s meeting would be out of place. ? A resolution was offered declaring lt just and expedient that the colored citizens should be rep? resented in the ward delegations. A similar . ob? jection was raised In this case, asd*a spirited discussion ensued. The sense of the meeting, however, was overwhelmingly in favor or the resolution, and lt Was adopted. A resolution was also adopted, approving the action or Ward 8, and urging the other wards to take prompt cooperative measures. One or two colore* speakers made brierant* en? couraging addresses, and the meeting then ad? journed. . SAINT ANDREW'S SOCIETY. Tribute to th*. DU mm y o? tin-ir Lat? Presiden*, Robert Mure. A special meeting of the Saint Andrew's So? ciety, of which Mr. Mure had long been the hon ored president, was held yesterday, at 6 o'clock PyUy vice-pre-ident Douglas Nisbet in the chair, and Mr. R_ M. Gordan being the secretary. On calling the society to order. Mr. Nisbet announced In appropriate terms the object or the meeting, leneral Wilmot G. DeSaussure, after a few prefa 'cry remarks, introduced the'following preamble and resolutions : When a good man Iles down to his rest, we cease to regard death as a grim tyrant sacrificing the haman family to his'lnexorable law. Rather looking through the portals of the tomb, we see shining beyond, in eternal lkht, those Heavenly mansions, where there is no more either or toll or care. We naturally grieve and mourn for the lost one. Yet this may be rightfully done, since He who came to point out tbe way to those man? sions wept at the grave of his departed friend, even while about, by raising him from'the dead, to teach tbe cheering lesson of an Immortal re? surrection. It is then permitted us to mourn for onr-tost one. A kindly and gentle heart has oeased.to - beat; a brave spirit has ceased life's battles. The silent grave bsa closed over the form of our late pr?sidant, and we, shall no more here see the face which was wont co greet ns In this society. Robert Mure, the president of the St. Andrew's Society of Charleston, died on Thursday, the 1st of June, 1671. Born at Kirk? cudbright, Scotland, In 1812, he was, as yet, in the vigor of manhood when attacked by the disease which finally terminated hts lire. Long and painful was his illness; but the tender heart which was ever alive abd se'aaatlve to the griefs and woes or others, bore up brave against his own physical sufferings. A firm faith taught him to look beyond the-:e afflictions towards those re wards promised to the believer, and he laid himself down to bis long sleep with the peaceful assurance of "a bright Inheritance beyond these mortal shores.'' And we can comfort ourselves with Ute hope that he ls now in his Father's.) house. Mr. Mare was a good mao. He was kind and gentle; he was benevolent; he was true, A career of over thirty years in this com? munity as a' merchant had gained for him the wei; merited confidence or his fellow cltlzens, because during les vicissitudes he had ever retained an unspotted integrity, and all had learned to regard him as an honest, uprig.it and just man. in 1810 he became a member or the St. Andrew's Society, tn which he always took a lively Interest. On St. Andrew's Day, 1859, he was elected pr?sident or the society, and contin? ued such by successive re-elections, until his death. During his lo.,g connection with the so? ciety he was ever active in promoting its benevo? lent purpose-, and as Its president he watched carerully that such purposes be faithfully carried out. By his death the society has lost a most valuable officer, and in testimony of its respect for his memory, and of the regard In whioh he was held by his fellow-members, Resolved, That the St. Andrew's Society of Charleston, by the death or Robert Mure, its late prestdenr, ha-; lost a valued officer, whae zeal lor Its interests and whose faithful discharge of his duties had earned for lum the con Silence, respect and arr ct lo H ate regard of lils brother members. Rejoiced-, That la respect to hts memory, the gavel of tne society be draped lu mourning ror ninety days. Resolved, That a page upon tbe minute book or the society be Inscribed with his name, and with the office which he hoi at the time or bis death. Resolved, Tn at the respectful sympathies of fie socie y b- expressed to the family of our de? ceased pre Went lu tn is their heavy bereavement. The Hon. Thomas Y. Simons seconded the reso? lutions in a tribute illustrative of the high and spotie-s character and virtues or Mr. Mure as a merchant, a citizen, and in all the departments of life. The chairman then put :he preamble and reso? lutions, arid they were unanimously adopted. Mr. Samuel C. Black moved the following reso. lution, which was adopted: Resolved, That the proceedings be published Ut the dally papers of this city. On motion, the meeting adjourned. THE FARCE TO BEGIN.-There has been a, grand gatherlng?in tum city the last few days of some of tbe Moguls of Soutb Carolina Radicalism. We were somewhat puzzle l as to 'what it all meant- whether lt was to compare notes on the Ku-Klux, or to wing their right to their great father at Long Branch. But the mystery is solved at last. These great lights and immaculate legis? lators are on their way to New York to Investi? gate the financial affairs of the comptroller-gene? ral, thc State treasurer, and the financial agent in New Yolk. The committee was appointed at the lasi session of the Legislature, and ls compos edofB. F. Whlttemore and S. A. Swalls, of the Senate; aud W. H. Gardner, John B. Dennis and Timothy Hurley, of the House-all gentlemen with their robes or spotless white-just the very men to examine into the financial affairs of officials, who, it would appear, are no way related to Casar's wife. THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE of Mr. George Francis Buchhelf. mentioned yesterday, td stir, unexplained, and the most determined efforts ofiiis family and numerous friends, during the whole of yesterday, have.falled to throw any light upon the occurrence. Nothing but the facts as already stated ls positively known. A reward of'one thousand dollars has. been offered for the recovery uf the body, and there could not have been less than twenty boats ont ?esterday afternoon and evening dragging foi what ls merely supposed to be In the river. The small brass piece of the Sch?tzen Corps was brought to the edge of the dock, and fired several times with, out result, the larger Napoleon gan was then brought from the Scbntzenptatx, and fired thir? teen times without accomplishing anything. A search warrant was taken out early in the morning, and the officers proceeded to search the brig Sanger, lying at the wharf adjoining the one where the hat or the missing man was found. The captain of the vessel offered every facility to the* party, but nothing suspicion was .discovered. The most energetic efforts leave the case as dark as when the hat was found? The missing Mr. Buehhelt had been out collecting during the day of bis disappearance, and bad a large amount of money about his person when he went to the end or the wfcarr to take the air. His lire was insured in the Knickerbocker Lire As-, surance Company, or New Vork, w. s. Hastie Sc Son, agents, for $10,000, and In the Guardian | Muiual Insurance Company, or the same State, Keira Sc issertel, agents, for $2000. IN MEMORIAM. TOLICY HOLBBRS1 LIFE AND TONTO** AS SCHANCK COMPANY OFTHS SOOTH, CHARLESTON, 5. 0., June T, 1871. At a quarterly meeting of the board of trus? tees of the above company, held thts day, the death or ROBT. MURE, oae or the trustees, was* | brought to the notice or th? board by the presi? dent, tn the following remarks: At this season lt ls not unusual for our people to seek, by temporary, absence and recreation, to restore the energies or mind and body, Impaired by the attrition, care and anxieties or business, and we miss, T?uhout emotion, familiar friepds from our circles, expecting them Soon to return m renewed vigor. But on the present occasion we miss the manly form of one who. tn health,' was prompt to meet us here, but who has passed from os never to re? turn. Our Friend and Brotlier Trustee, ROR?RT MURE, has been removed by death, and lt ls br com tn s In as to pause In the pursuit of | business and bring to his grave a tribute to his memory, and to his family cur offering or sym? pathy. It was not my privilege te know Mr. MURE In? timately until recently'. Our pursuits in life were. mercantile. His correspondence -was chiefly out? ward, mine chiefly Inward, hence we .seldom met on the marts; but tue Savor or his good name was as familiar to me as was his manly forfn. The organization of this company brought me into familiar intercourse with him, which was al? ways of the most agreeable character. I found him eyer readyto assist the objects of our organization with his tate, his money and his counsel, not with selfish motives, but with a patriotic desire to build upa Home Institution. It ls useless to speculate on the causes which re? duced the strong man of ayear ago to feebleness1 and the then full pulse of lire to the stillness or death. Ic was end's will to remove him from the turmoils of ure and the scenes of bis usefulness, and lt ls our duty to bow with submission to that wUL " We have followed our friend to the spot where "After life's fitful fever he sleeps WK," under the shadow of a rr lendly evergreen. Loving hands have placed crosses of evergreens and flowers, fit emblems of his faith and immor? tality, on his tomb. Let ns lay a garland there, and send words of sympathy to his bereaved family. On motion of Ur. A. S. Johnstoo,.the following preamble and lcsolutlons were adopted; Since we were last assembled, death has re? moved from ns one of our Trustees, ROBERT MURE. The Chamber of Commerce, of which he was the President, the Commercial Community of Charleston, or which he was a type and orna? ment, have given expression to their feelings upon the death or a citizen so honored and useful ; but we claim the privilege or devoted friendship to add bur tribute to his worth* To us he was par? ticularly 'endeared; for to his earnestness and zeal this association is largely Indebted for its origin and success. Indeed, we can hardly point to a Bingle enterprise, whose object was the growth of the city, the development of its re? sources and the prosperity and happiness or its people, which was not aided by bis amelie ct, and rostered by his means. To ability, sustained and strengthened by thorough commercial"education, to large mercantile experience, and to great suergy of character, was added integrity pure and lofty. Through all the trials of adversity, ?nd the perhaps stronger temptations of pros? perity, his love or troth, his sea?e of Justice and or right,shone conspicuously,and the years as they Bed but strengthened him lu the confidence and affection of all good men. In token of our reverence for his memory and our appreciation of his worth, be lt Resolved, That In the death or ROBERT MURE, this association has lost one or Its earliest friends and ablest supportera-one whose judgment guid? ed and whose Integrity sustained Its youthful for? tunes. Resolved, That in testimony of our regard, a page in our minute book be dedicated to his me? mory. Resolved, That a copy of ttiese resolutions be forwarded tohls afflicted family, with expressions or our sympathy with them In their bereavement, and that they be published In the morning papers of this city.
