Afterwards he removed to Charleston, where be became con? nected wita the Charleston Courier, aad fully maintained his literary reputation. His mind having become- diseased, he was placed m the Asylum here. His mends here were not aware of bis sickness until after his death. We have no doubt, however, bnt that fae received every atten tion that hie condition required. Mr. Carlisle leaves a number of kinsmen and friends to regret that his death should , have been preceded by a K)8B or reason-thoa sadly closing a career which1 otherwise might have been long and useful.

Literature of the church claimed tts share of attention, and re? ceived the approval and ls to have the hearty support of the members. The subject of "Church Extension," missionary grounds, and the practi? cability of working them successfully, were taken In to consideration by their respective commit tees.

DESERTERS FROM BULL SITER.-About ten day s ago Inform?t lon was lodged at the detective office In thia city that a party or sa??rs bad de ?erred from the bark Rolla, In Bull River, and, taking a large-sized Balling boat wlth'them, had made for Charleston or Savannah. On election day Edward Frost, one or the party, waa captur? ed lu the city, and o a Saturday John Ericaon, Wuffiam Murphy, Themas King and James Tur? ner, roar more, were arrested by the detectives, and placed In confinement. The boat in which they fled hw been .found on the Edlsto below. Adam's Bun, and the party say that they landed;' there and made their way to the city by the rail? road.

THE G OPHIR OX CAST.-At the extenalve machine and joh shop or Mr. Archibald McLelsh, No. 4 Cumberland street, may be seen two sped mens or the Gophir cart, which deserve the atten? tion of our cotton and rice planters, par cte nar y the latter. The cart ls applicable to all plantation work, but peculiarly adapted to hauling rice from the field after lt ls cut. It has a.crank axle, by means of which the bottom of the cart travels along fifteen Inches from the surface of the earth. The wheela are five feet in diameter, and the tires are five inches wide, which enables the cart to be hauled witt ease over the yielding mud of the rice field. The cart dumps lathe ordinary way, and by meena of the'long and short portable sides can be easily fitted up for hauling peas, corn, rice or any other commodity. -One of ita greatest advantages is the ease with which it can be loaded and unloaded, owing to the proximity of the body of the/ cart to the eaiUx, The cart was invented by Dr. Butts, of Florida, who,' by request, came on with models and secured the services of Mr. McLelsh in constructing them. The two now completed have been ordered by Colonel Glover, or Coll eton, and are Intended to htjAsed on a rice plantation. The construction ls lOTv in thia city, but lt la estimated that the carts can be sold lor from $75 to $90 for the one-noree cart, and from $115 to $120 for the double ox cart. THF FRUITS OF VICTORY. Interesting Question a? to the Date ot Mayor Wngencr't Installation. Considerable doubt^ppears to exiBt as to the time when the gentlemen elected last Wed? nesday sbould qualify themselves for the posi? tions to which they have been respectively chosen, and when the existence of the present city government legally terminates and that of the new one begins. The specific act of the Legislature under which tbls election was held, and which, as far aa it goes, must deoldeall questions pertaining to this election, ls entitled an act to determine the day of election of the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Charleston a part of which reads aa follows: Tbat ao much of ihe charter- or the City of Charleston, and the amendments thereto, as d?? termin?e the day ot election of Mayor and Alder? men for the City of Charleston be, and the same la hereby, amended ao aa to fix the day of election on the first Wednesday of August, 1871, and on the first Wednesday, of the same month in each alternate year thereafter: Provided, that the pres? ent Mayor and Aldermen shall continue in office untU the day fixed by the charter of the City of Charleston ror the qualin cation of their successors. Sac. 2. That the Mayor and Aldermen now rn office shall continue therein until their successors are elected and qualified. . sj The language of this act ls concise and exp licit, and it is plain that the time for the Mayor and aldermen elect te qualify au d take office- la what? ever time la specified in the city charter. By "the charter of the City or Charleston" ls meant the o rig in ai #a c t of. incorporation of the 'city in 1788, including, of course, all the amendments since made thereto, and which are now Integral parts of the char ter... These amendments are very uu merons, and ^thorough examination of them in? volves a large amount-of care and patience. Such an examination has been.made by at least ene distinguished member of the bar in thia city, and he gives lt aa his decided/opinion that, under the charter as amended up to this date, the qualification and Induction Into office of the Mayor and aldermen elect should take plac? within ten days from their ?lection, that ls, on or before next Saturday, the 12th Inst, /Tills gentleman is or the opinion, moreover, that, un? less the formality or swearing in be compiled with within the ten days, the election wat lapse, and the present Mayor and Council hold over for another term. He finds that the time ol qualify? ing and inducting into office after an election was fixed at ten days, at a very early date in the history of the city, and that although in the macy amendments to the charter the time or .election has been very often changed, the relative time of the election and the taking of office has-never been altered. On the other ha d the opinion is expressed by a " no leas . celebrated legal; gentleman that the Mayor 'elect cannot take office until November. - Thia opinion was arrived at after a careful' study of the statutes in which .the gentleman referred to waa assisted by a num? ber or other well-known lawyers, and ls partly based upon the following provision in the acfof september 25th, 1868, under which Mayor Pills, bu ry and his cou nell were elected : - ac. 8. Said officers shall hold their offices np.to the regular time fixed by charter for. the election of the same, andjor onefuU term th?reaSer,.aa.d until their ' euc cesa o rs are duly elected and quali? fied, the oath of office may oe administered by any officer of the State who ls- authorize d by law to admin is ter the same. The "regular time fixed by charter for the elec? tion of the same," referred to In this section. waa in November, 1800, and "one full term thereafter? would plainly be until November, 1871, so that by the language of this act it would seem that the present city officers were especially, ordered to be contlnued in office un til next November, inasmuch as, if they were to be succeeded in office this week by the Mayor and Council elect,, the former would not have served ont "the.fnU term there-' after" mentioned in the act, but only one year and nine months thereof. There la, to be sure, some question as to th e ap? plicability of this clan s? In the act ef 186S to thc present case, in view of the fact that the act of 1871 expressly leaves the date of qualification of . the officers now elected to the city charter; but lt may be claimed that this act of 1885, being a re? peal of one part of the charter, acta to ell intenta and purposes as an amendment, and la now an' integral part bf'the city charter. Another con? sideration that militates against the ten days theory Ia, that the act or 1871 was, as is perfectly well understood, passe J for a' purely' partisan /purpose by a partisan Legislature whose Interests would be materially damaged Dy the abridgment or the term of office of the present city admlnla trallon, arid lt is not probable, therefore, that the construction put upon lt bj "hose who claim an immediate seat for the Mayor elect la the one In? tended hy ita authors. Fortunately, however, the construction cr a sta: ute (a dependent nor upon the objects oj intentions, of Its framers, and lt la, therefore, posible that the'Radlcal plotters, witu : all their shrewdness, have unwittingly relieved us, three montha sooner than Intended, or their abominable administration. Snell aro a few or ,the difficulties with which this question ls surrounded. We rf o not. propose to pass judgment upon the intricate questions of law that are involved,' but we i.:J happy to state that Major 0. Lamb Buist, chairman -of the ex? ecutive comrtittee of the.Citiz?ns' .Party, has ar? ranged fora conference this morning between the Hon. Wm. rx Porter, G?n?rai James Simons and Colonel T. t. Slmonr/at w'hYch the whole, subject will be very carefully In vest iga ted, add'' action follow closely on tnehei.tb of resolve, should promptness In action be fonr d to be necessary. The Ballot Boxes. - Since tbe counting of the votes 'the duty of guarding the ballot boxes in the Courthouse ?as become irksome to the cr.maittees detailed from both parties, and A? Sui,--'lay the'matter waa adjusted to the satisractk. n r both parties. About 2 o'clock in the ai ter nor".: Mssara. S. S. Bruns, commissioner or electtoo, Cr, L. Pratt and Geo. E. Douglas, managers, A.JU Tobias, acting chair? man or the executive committee, and Colonel T. T. Simons, called, npon Mayor Pillsbury and re? quested him to give orders to the -police to take .charge of the boxes, and convey .the same to the npper vault of the Bank of Charleston, where they were 'o be placed. Te attend to this, the following committees were appointed: By the Republicans-R, Mears, W. G. Barke, J. W. Lloyd - and L< T. Gardner. By the Citizens- party-R. S. Bruns, Geo. L. Buist, A. L. Tobias and J. Fraser. Mathe wes, Each policeman, shouldered a box and marched down Broad street to the Baux of Charleston, the committees accompanying them, bnt walking on the opposite aide or the street. The boxes were all deposited in the vault, which' was then locked and the door and key-hole care? fully sealed up. The key waa then placed In a box, which was.alao carefully sealed, and then given to the Mayor. The general return, signed by forty-four of the ' managers, has been placed in possession of the Mayor, and the election will probably be declared to-day. The Grant Inquest Concluded. The inquest in the case of Balaam Grant, the colored man who was shot caring a disturbance at the Sires street polling place on Wedneaday last, waa concluded in the coroner's office on Saturday. Several witnesses were examined, but tte testimony of most of them was unimpor? tant. Llentenant M. Leehy, of the lath United States Infantry, testified that he arrived sbortly after the disturbance, and saw Sergeant Malo? neys gun, which hid evidently not been dla charged. Sergeant: Maloney told him, In reply to a quotion, that he had. not-fired, and bad not ordered his men'to fire, and from the sergeant's manner at .thestime, and his general character, the lieutenant waa convinced that he jold the truth. J. C. JV. Elschorf testified to seeing the back of the soldier who fired the shot, and the batt end of his musket as'lt waa discharged, but could not Indentify the Boldter, as he had not seen his face at the time. Captain Hendricks testified that at the time of the disturbance, Roundsman Fowley, wbo had been put in charge of the polling place, had left his post, lu disobedience of orders, for the purpose of going to dinner. F. S. Lee, a colored butcher, took it npon himself to swear positively that he could Identify the soldier who fired the fatal shot, but bis means of knowledge proved to be limited to having seen the soldier's back, the butt of his musket resting on his hip, and a puff of smoke from a point a few feet in front or thc soldier. Julius Wood, a soldier, who was on duty in Sires street, said there was a large crowd In commotion using clubs. Saw the deceased run? ning from tbe crowd, and justjhen the guard was ordered to fall in; be obeyed; beard tbe sergeant cry bait, and then beard the report or the gun; saw the deceased rall as he was entering a gate; could not tell who fired the shot; heard no order to fire; heard a crewd of men cry shoot the -; did not change pieces with any one and was not requested to do so; the sergeant once took hold of deponent's gun to prevent him from firing. Dar? win Hill, another or the soldiers, confirmed the above In every particular, and stated fnither that he had not changed guns with any one. Peter Hoffman, the third solder, gave his testimony to a similar effect, saying also that he had not changed guns with any one-nor had be been re? quested by any one to do so. After the guard was ordered to fall in, and from the time "he got np to the sergeant, deponent did not think the sergeant could have fired the shot and taken the position he was In; aa soon as he heard the shot, deponent tnrned and saw Sergeant Maloney on his right. The evidence was here closed, and after being instructed by the coroner, the Jury retired. They remained out about half an hour, and found a verdict "that the said Balaam Grant came to his death of a gunshot wound, Infi cted by the band or hands or some person or persons to the Jurors unknown, on Wednesday, the second day of August, A. D. 1871, at Sires street, in the Oity of Charleston.". Humors of the Campaign. A COLLOQCT.-JuJus, (having the election re? turns read to him.)

BYE, JOHN.-The" bitter lesson- of de? feat bas be?n learned by at least one of the col? ored carpet-baggers. On Saturday afternoon a certain dusky sojourner, who had lort his rugged native buis or Massachusetts to bask in the sun of southern freedom with an Incidental interest in the reprisal of casual spoons, Ac, might have been seen trotting down Broad street with a ragged carpet-bag depending, from a stick over bis right Bhoulder, containing one threadbare ar? ticle of linen and the Inevitable paper collar, and labelled, "Off for Boston." He declared that he would not Uve In Charleston now, and has taken his departure to "loaf and Invite his soul" lu the purlieus Of North street, Boston, where his sensi? tive spirit'mayne soothed by the phUllplcs of Phi? lips and the bombast of Butler. A LILLIPUTIAN YACHT RACE. The trial ol speed between the trim looking battean boats which ply about the cove and ad? joining waters of Sullivan's Island, came'Off last Saturday afternoon with much eclat. The west end of the South Carolin a Long Branch presented an unusuaUygay and animated appearance, and notwithstanding the unfavorable aspect of the weather, the scene was rendered still more Inter? esting by the presence of many of the ladles living on the island. The ferry-boat from Charleston also added an attractive quota to the assemblage, and aU was excitement and speculation as the time appoint fd for the start drew near. Three boats were entered from the Hand, the "Arrow," Capt. B. Patrick; the "Lilly," Capt. D. J. Toohey; and the 'Katie," Oapc. Smith. The '-Moonlight," waa also entered from the city, and was sailed by Captain Thoa. Flynn. Under the directions or the Judges, Colonel R. S. Duryea, Captain W. A. Kelly and Mr. J. E. St Amand, making al? lowances for the tonnage, or rather poundage of the contestants, the boata started In the following order: The Arrow at 4.40K, the Lilly 4.40.83, Kate 4.40.38, and the Moonlight 4.40.89. - Th? wind was blowing a small gale from the south > and the boats under close reefs and bending to the breeze went through the water in'fine style. The flee*.wing, owned by Captain C. C. Patrick, was to baye taken part In the race, but she cap- j sized Just off the wharf before starting, which compelled ber to withdraw from the contest. The course was out of the Cjgve to and around Fort Ripley and .back to the wharf. The Moon? light showed her mettle, and made a splendid mn ahead of her competitors. Owing to a misapprehension, however, she made a mistake la. rounding Fort Ripley, which lost her the race. The boats reached the goal after an exciting contest in the following order: The LRly at S.'48,EQ; Arrow 6.45.30; Katie 6.45.36, and Moonlight 6.47.85. The Lilly was declared the vic? tor, and her captain, D. J. Ton hey, Esq., received the champ ton nag from Mr.-John M. Tonhey. The second prize, a silver enp, was presented to Captain Patrick, by. Mr. H. J. O'Neill. Owing to* the tempestuous weather the tub race was aban? doned, all eyes* were fixed upon tbe water to the east of the wharf, and abont fifty yards from the shore, where Captain Somes, the veteran diver, was abont to explode a torpedo. The infernal machine was sunk in about eight feet of water, and was exploded by an electric Bpark communi? cated to lt from a battery on the dredge boat lying off the wharf. It contained 125 pounds of powder, and the rumbling explosion, throwing a vast column of water aloft in the air, was received with shouts by the delighted spectators. This closed the entertainment, and the meeting ad? journed sine die. . A CARD FROM "CAPT." O OE OREEN. Why the Honest Colored Men Supported the Wagoner Ticket. CHARLESTON, S. C., August 7, 1871.

Baturday evening the upper part of the city was disgraced by a riot which was allowed and almost enconraged by officials -who should hare been foremost to oneil it. Early in the evening, the atore of a quiet German citizen, Mr. H. L. Her' man. at the corner of King and Congress streets, where the poll tor the aecond precinct of Ward 8 was kept daring the election, was besieged, and the door, which was secured by a strong Iron bar crossways, battered in. A colored man, named Butler Nelson, rushed in, drew a large pistol, and presenting lt across the couBtei kt the breast of Mr..Herman, threatened to ahoot. Hie 'family was terrified, and Bought safety lu flight to a neighboring house.' Not^aatlsfled with tins, a crowd af negroes, all armed with dabs, came down King to the corner of Shepherd street shortly afterward, uttering fearful threatsag?lnst all colored men who voted the Wagener ticket. A colored man, named Phillp Strawberry, who voted the Citizens' ticket, was beaten, and the disturbance now collected a crowd, not knowing where lt would end. The police waa aent for by the" citizens, and on their arrivalthey were abus? ed by the crowd, and the leaders dened them to arrest any one. With the assistance of several citizens, who were called upon, the police went In and arrested several of the ringleaders, among them Isaac Smalls, Solomon Thompson, George Thompson, Paris Morgan^ and one or two others. They were taken to the upper Guardhouse, follow, ed- by several citizens, who were to make the charges. On their arrival, the sergeant in com- j m and wc nid hear*no charges, but asked the cul? prits if they had been shouting for Pillsbury. They said yes. He then told them that they Were free to go, and funner, to holler and shout for Pills? bury,- and fight, too, aa much as they pleased. He would like to see any one trouble them. The riot era returned triumphantly and kept the neighbor? hood in a state of excitement and commotion until past l o'clock at night. What do the Radi? cal officials mean ?
