market for groceries, ironwares, oils and other
articles of large consumption In the South, and,
with a punctual dispatch er steamers every week
to this port, ls IL creasing ber Southwestern
trade.
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, .
Bat attribute our error to misctlance.
Our reporter wears glasses,
That nothing which passes

TSE MATOEAETT.
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.
