THE HAY OE ON THE SITUATION. An Interview with Mr. Pillsbury About the Kesults of the Blee Hon-His Proc? lamation to be Issued To-Day. A reporter of TOE NEWS yesterday morning paid a visit to Mayor Pillsbury, at his office ia trie City Hall, to ascertain his views regarding the present condition or political affairs in the' city, and the following conversation occurred : Reporter. Mr. Mayor, I have called to ask you whon your official aunouncement of the results of the late election will be promulgated. Mayor. It wilt be Issued, slr, just as soon as it can be prepared by my cletks. There are two of them at work' upon lt now, and If they get through before the end of office hours to day, lt will be sent to Tas NEWS for*publication to-mor? row morning. If not completed to day, I feel sure that lt will be finished to-morrow morning, in which case lt will be printed In the evening paper, which is our official paper. They can hardly finish it today, as it Involves a considera? ble amount of clerical labor, and, besides, a num? ber or discrepancies have been round between the general return and the returns or the different precincts. Reporter. Are these discrepancies important ? Will they effect tho general result m the case or any of the candidates ? Mayor.. Oh, no. They are mere clerical errors in the transcript, and they do not lu any case alter the resolt. For Instance, the precinct re? turn or the first precinct or Ward 4 ?ives a vote of 291 for Mr. Brown for alderman, while the gen? eral return gives him 301. In either case, how? ever, he has a majority of five hundred votes. Reporter. What have yon done about these In accuracies ? Have you corrected them ? Mayor. No, I did not want to take the respon? sibility of altering the figures. I have sent for Messrs. Bruns, Sage and Mackey, who were the committee having charge cf the general returns, and will leave the eorrectlens to be made by them- AP. these things you see take time, and that ls why I say the proclamation cannot proba? bly be made to-day. Reporter. Yes, sir. Still it is desirable that the announcement of the result of the election should be made as soon as practicable. Mayor. Yes, and 1 want to have lt done as soon as I can, because there are among the poor peo? ple of my party a nnmber who are so ignorant as to Imagine that my holding back in this matter may somehow alter the result, and it will tend to dispel false hopes and allay the excitement to have thc official statement made and the whole thing done with. Reporte". What do you propose to say In your proclamation abonttho time for the Mayor end Aldermen elect to take their seats ? Mayor. I shall announce that they have been elected to serve from the first Wednesday of No? vember next, for .?ne term. Reporter. For one full term of two years - Mayor. I lon't know about that. I shall not say In my proclamation "for the term of two years," because I prefer to leave that to be set? tled af terwards. My own opinion ls that the law or 1871 cnanglog the date or election from No? vember to August, also changes the time of in duction Into office from November to August. Reporter. Then yon think that the recently elected administration will only have nntil Au? gust, 1873, to serve? Mayor. That ls my impression. Reporter. Then they will only have a term of twenty-one months instead or a full term of two years? Mayor. Exactly. Reporter. Bot y< u do not think that that same law of 1871 changes the time of the retirement of your administration from November to August of this year ? . Mayor. I do not Reporter. I have heard a rumor, slr, that yon had announced yonr willingness to resign your office now, and let General Wagener come In, if your salary for the remainder or y our term would be paid you. Is there any truth in thai, report ? Mayor. Wei), Isn't that a pretty- impudent question ? Reporter. Yes. slr. But that does not prevent yonr answering it, IT you choose to. Mayor. Well, there ls nothing in lt at all. It must be one'of those wild rnmors that always prevail in excited times. I have certainly had no tntnnflim if r-t;-ii?p tea? ??j ?ra?? ??>n thu tn-. expires Tor .whlch I was elected, unless, of course, 1 am put ontby force. j Reporter. ""And your term of office, as you un? derstand lt, extends to -? Mayor. To the first Wednesday in November next, when 1 Bhall.be very happy to gracefully bow myself out. Reporter. Which ls precisely what I would be happy to do at this moment, bnt I desire to ask yon one more question. There have been several i disorderly occurrences reported to us since elec? tion day, In which the city police are said to have failed utterly to do, their duty, seeming to be dis? gusted and demoralized by the defeat of the po lltlcal party to which most of them belong. Have you heard or such occurrences* Mayor. Not o rac lally. There have been no in I atances reported to me or to mycaptaln. 1 ex pected some such condition of affairs, however, i and have watched the conduct or the police nar Irowly since the election, and I have been surpris? ed to see how little demoralization th tte has been. .On election day the policemen d ti their duty im? partially, bringing to the Guardhouse disorderly persons or both parties. Reporter. HaVeyon heard or the riot in King street last Saturday evening ? Mayor, lt has not been reported to me. Reporter. As I heard the circumstance a of that affair, they were as tatlows: A store was attacked and entered by a number of colored men, all of thgfl^nned with clubs, who, after frightening TflHHpeeper^ family out of the house, left and Btd9Pf$Sdown Klug street, ru ofBBj^pnck against^phe colored men who ^3Hfr(l ror Wagener. They were finally ' arrfstHHy some police and citizens and taken to the uppsr Guard? house, where it is said that the sergeant on duty, hearing that the rioters had been shouting for your Honor, wonld hear no complaints, but told them they were free to?o and shout, and fight, too, for your Honor as much as they pleased. Bo yon Intend to take^iny action In regard to this? Major. Yes, I will investigate lt If an y or the witnesses or the affair come forward and report it to me. Of course I cannot act upon hearsay evidence. , Reporter. Have you Issued any special instruc? tions io the police since tke election regarding their behavior ? Mayor. Yes, I have instructed them through their captain that they must do their dey tear? lessly and impartially, and remember at all times and above all things that they were,not appoint? ed as partisans or for partisan purposes, but to preserve the peace and guard the property of the ' community. Reporter. Have you taken any other steps to prevent infractions of the peace ? Mayor. Ye?, sir. To day I rerused two applica? tions to all JW public balls to take place, as I de? sired to avoid congregations of people of all shades of political opinion where a discussion might provoke a fight, and pistol shots and bloodshed ensue. Reporter. Then yon think you have made all necessary disposition to prese ve good order? Mayor. Ye3; I believe there will b? no more trouble. The provoking cause rs over, aaa every day that elapses now will tend to quiet matters; so that in a short time the city will return to Its ordinary pacific condition. The Good Time Coming. The legal qu-^'on which had arisen as to the time when thc Mayor and Aldermen elect should present themselves to be qualified Tor and induct? ed lato their respective offices, was fully present? ed in all its aspects in THE NEWS or yesterday, with the statement that a conference of eminent legal gentlemen, to consider the subject, had been arranged for by the chairman of the execu? tive committee of the Citizens' party. That con? ference was held at noon yesterday there being present the Hon. William D. Porter, Colonel Alex. H. Brown, Hon. A. 0. Magrath. Colonel C. H. t-lmouion, Hon. J. B. Campbell, General James simons, Major 0. Lamb Buist, Mr. James simons, Jr., and- Colonel Thomas Y. Simons. The questions Involved were fully and carefully discussed by all prc---::, "nd the I multitude or enactments bearing on the subject were patiently examined, the debate lasting near? ly two hours. The conclusion was Anally reached that the time for the induction of the new city ad. ministration would not be until the first Wednes? day in Novemberrnext; and this decision will, of course, be accepted as final by the executive com? mittee of the Citizens' party, and by the Mayor and Aldermen elect. All present concurred fully In the position taken; and while lt must be a dis? appointment to the good people of Charleston to know that the fruition of their glorious victory of Wednesday last cannot take place for three months, yet it ls still evident that in view of this decision, unanimously made by such a dis? tinguished body of legal gentlemen, any further agitation of the subject w?u'd b9 worse than use? less. A. S ERM O y ON THE ELECTION. The congregation worshipping in the Cita? del Square Baptlsh Church enjoy the ministra? tions or the Rev. S. T. Winkler, D. D., one of the most distinguished Baptist divines In the South. Bis sermons abonnd in forcible Illustrations, deep erudition, and earnest piety, and he fre? quently enforces the Bacred truth, SB his great Teacher and Master did, by allusions to the times and circumstances of his hearers, in his sermon on So nday last, he made some pointed allusions to the exciting scenes through which we have recently passed. Els text was from 2d. Peter, 1st chapter, loth and nth verses: "Where? fore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for If ye do these thing.', ye abell never fall; for so an entrance shall be ministered-nulo you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." ' After speaking of the Christian aim, and the means to attain H nd the motives to pursue it, he thus graphically referred to the scenes we have just witnessed in this city: "How much more important this election than that which stirred all Charleston last week, and spotted the streets with blood ? A feverish excitement pervaded the community;-we saw --.ern faces around the poll- ; peaceable men fllttltg to and fro, me unwonted arms scarcely bidden on their persons; they were like travellers among haunts of banditti. The flash of bayonets fell upon the ballot-boxes of a free municipality. In our country the govern? ment ls too often surren dei ed to thc caprice of the most ignorant sad passionate classes of the community. Hamilton and Jefferson seriously considered-the advantages and disadvantages be? longing to the various methods of popular elec? tion In such a form of government as ours. If elections were frequent, they would produce per? petual political agitation. If they were rare, they migtr. shock and revolutionize the Republic by Budden change. These great Btattsmen chose what they esteemed tne lesser danger, in admitting frequent elections. Perhaps they were wise; but one result of their policy has certainly proved un ron un at e. Politics has be? come a profession to which men or business, libe? ral culture and social position have rarely devot? ed themselves. It ls notorious, and. we may add, lamentable, that many of our best citizens, under the present system, habitually avoid the polls. But now this indifference was rudely broken, and the blustering wind, the thunder and lightning or menac?e and missiles, the storms and tempests of political proscription, the long line of fire stream? ing through the streets, the eavage outcries of a thousand throats, the unprovoked and unpunish? ed robberies, burglaries and violence that reade night horrible, proclaimed to every thoughtful citizen, either that he must stand to his post or surrender this Mr and clorions metropolis to a reign of terror. Ic seemed then that a war of races was actually Inaugurated, and now lt ls no ex? travagance to say that the existence of society has been imperilled during the past week, and know lng that lt has been saved, to render devout thanksgiving to God. But, O friends, O fellow citizens, O Christians, wno were but a day or two fclnce standing at the eager polls, and from whose faces the flash of excitement has scarcely passed away as ye gather around your Sabbath alt?is, what say you of that other election to which our text refers, that most momentous of all city elec? tions, that election or yourselves to office in the Jerusalem that ls above? Who among yon will refuse to be a candidate for honor, glory and Im? mortality r Who among you will count himself unworthy or everlasting II e? Who among yon disdains to be a King tn the City or the Highest, the Everlasting City r "Soon all earthly Interest will cease to effect us. This home of onr love may perish, and the his? toric rain J guarded 60 long by the counsels or the wise, and the hearts of the valiant, may an? swer only to the moamngs of the solitary seas, or the scream of the sea bird pursuing its prey. Or if our fondest wishes are realized, the genera? tions of that age.of gold can Bend no pleasure to oar unconscious dast, as they march along the ways of prosperity and peaceful triumph. There ts only one continuing citv, and if we seek our election there, lt will in a little while confer such peace, joy, glory, as we have never known in this old City by the Sea. "A little while, and earth shall pass Like a faint vision from oar weary gaze. And we shall stand upon the sea of glass. "A little while and death shall be With Satan vanquished at Jehovah's feet, And we shall Bee oar Saviour eye to eye Forevermore. "A%tle while and every;grTef . ? SS Shall be rememb?red, but with tears of Jey: On Jesus' bosom we shall ned relier Forevermore. "A little while and parted hands . Shall clasp again upon the Heavenly shore Whe/e she, Jerusalem the Golden, stands Forevermore.'' Of course we have given but an Imperfect sketch of this eloquent and Interesting sermon, but hope that the distinguished author will con' sent to have lt published entire. PAINFUL ACCIDENT.-MTB. Riley, mother-in law of Mr. Calnan, county audi ter of Richland, met with a painful accident on .Saturday morn? ing by falling down a steep, flight of stairs. At last accounts Mrs. Riley was ly mg m a very criti? cal condition. -* A PUBLIC NUISANCE. * TO THEJBDITOR OF THE NEWS. I beg, through your columns, to call the at? tention of those concerned to the condition of Calhoun street since the plank road has been lal,d. All travellers on this street are much pleased with the Improvement made by plank? ing, but, in making the road, the earth bas been thrown np, together with brickbats, In such plies on either aide as to prevent a vehicle getting off the plank except at a few points. At- other places the planks stand two or th fte feet from the ground, so that should there be a necessity for ? vehicle to get off, lt would be Impossible without a break down or au upset. Will not the street inspector, or those in charge of the street, attend to the correcting of this nuisance before some accident occurs; or must those who are obliged to ride on the Calhoun street plank walt forthe "new regime" to carry out this intended improvement ?

THE GIFT OF THE CHARLESTON CATHOLICS TO THE FRENCH WOUNDED.-It will be seen by the following letter that the contributions of the French Catholics of Charleston ror the relief of the wounded in France, are likely to have done good service, and were received In a way which will be particularly pleasant to the donors. The letter ls written by M. de Bellalgue, the present Consul General of France at New York, and ap* peais in "La Semaine Religieuse," a weekly jour" nal, published at Clermont, France, on May 20, last: Uv Dear Brother-A. rew days ago, just BB I was about to leave Charleston to undertake the duties or the Consulate General at New York, I had a idearant surprise. The pastor ot the parish in Charleston to which belong the French Catho? lics, or the descendants or the French, came to bring me the proceeds of a collection which he hai instituted in his parish, and which amounted to $104 In currency, or soo francs In gold. Father Claudian Northrop, knowing that yon were the chaplain of a regiment of Mobiles, and ihar, la cons?quence, yon saw, more nearly th au others, the mi-erv of the poor wounded sad of the fami? lies or the slatn, begs von to distribute the dona? tion as you may deem best. Do this, my dear brother, and remember that tbs offering now sent you ls all the more touching In that lt comes from a country which, also .suffered terribly by war a few years ago, and Is still far from restored to irs former state. 1 hts poor City of Charleston, one-haltibJ which was destroyed by fire seven or elg^Kyears since, and -which since then has been cBfert on to endure every Imaginable evil, had already contributed in October last about 4000 francs, proceeding as much from the French In this city, whose generosity has been admirable, as f om the native Carolinians. To-day again the Parish of St. Mary's sends you a new donation of 500 francs. This, I a?suraj*ou, has deeply moved me, and 1 shall ne grandjK you will tell the un fortunates whom you masR-ass-lst with thar. Bum what direction towards tfRantipodeB their bless? ings should tn ke. A1 t ile French boy, about eight years old, named Druelle, diu an act which 1 regard with particular Interest. After having heard the appeal or his pastor he took upon himself the task or making a special cdlecilun on his own accouut. Thia pro? duced $15, that 19,15 irancs. A CARD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. Some malicious person, who could have been better employed by attending to his own business, haa reported that I voted the Radical ticket. I solicit permission, through yonr Jour? nal, to contradict the slanderous report, and to (.give it the direct lie. Not having been a citizen, my name could not be registered, and, conse? quently, I could not vote. JOHN LOBANO, * Barber, No. 102 Market 6treet, Hotel Arrival?-August 7. HILLS HOUSE.

ATTENTION IS RESPECTFULLY CALLED TO the NEW NON-POISONOUS and ODORLESS DIS? INFECTANT and ANTISEPTIC, CHLORALUM. (Chloride of Aluminium, the Saline Antiseptic harmless as common salt) The Lancet, August 27th, 1870, says of this pre? paration: "It ls quite as potent as Chloride of Zin c or carbolic Acid, and ls at the same time non. poisonous and devoid of unpleasant emeu of every sind. These qualities will, no doubt, insure Its being extensively used, and at no distant date we may expect lt to displace the antiseptics which are at present In vogue." CHLORALUM ls an astringent antiseptic, ap? plied to foul ulcers by London surgeons, as a gar? gle In scarlet fever, diphtheria and common sore throat and has been found invaluable In Inflam? mation of the eyes, Ac. i OHLORALUM can be relied on by Farmers in the treatment of Foot and Month Disease, and in .carrying on disinfection In their homes, stables, cowbeds, pigstyes and poultry-houses. \ CHLORALUM for dog kennels can be used with great advantage and economy In keeping meat fresh for any length of time, in purifying the benches and yards, and completely removing the foul and sickening odor of dirty or ill-drained kennels.
