WHO IS TO BLAME ?-We are informed that, at ll o'clock yesterday morning, heaps of garb? age were still fermenting in the sun in Hasel street, ana in Market Btreet, between Meeting and King streets. Here ls Borne work for the assistant health officer;. CRUMBS.- There was to hare been a duel in MannlDg last week, but the town marshal ar? rested the combatants, and the whole thing was quashed. The construction work on the new Custom? house has been stopped for the present by orders lrom Washington. THE BUILDERS' DEPOT, which Mr. E. M. Grimke ls conducting at No. 94 Church street, is rapidly becoming an Institution of Charles? ton, and as the building buBine6S grows more brjsk, promises to Increase still further in use? fulness. The marbleized slate mantels fur? nished at this establishment are at once styl? ish, substantial, and wonderfully cheap. ANGLO-CELESTIAL NEWSPAPERS.-Copies of the Hong Kong Daily Press and ol the Yoko? hama Gazette, sent over by a son ol Colonel I. W. Hayne, may be seen at Fogartie's Book De? pository. The Press (about the sii.3 of THE NEWS) is $30, In gold, a year; and the Gazette (a good-sized letter sheet) is $20 a year. This pliterature is not cheap, to say the least of it. THAT QUARANTINE CASE.-Mr. Solicitor Wig gin, of Beaufort, in correction of a statement made by our correspondent "Daisy," says that the eise of the State TS. George Smith, for vi? olation of quarantine, was opened by him, the solicitor, and that be, also, examined the wit? nesses and closed the prosecution. Colonel , Wallam Elliott, acted, by request, as amicus curive in examining the old Btatutes bearing upon the case. "THE CORNER-STONE OF THE MASON-C HALL. The glass jar deposited In the coner-stone of the old Masonic Hall, now torn down, was brought to light on Saturday, and the contents were found to be uninjured by lime. This Jar IB now in the keeping of Deputy Grand Master R. S. Bruns, and will be placed in the corner? stone of the new building, which is to be laid In November next The corner-stone of the old hall was laid on December 9,1840, by the Grjand Master, C. M. Fnrman. LUXURIES OF THE SEASON.-Tho tempting array of eatables and drinkables offered to the public palatelby Messrs. W. H. Chafee A Co., In thlB morning's NEWS, proves that these eminent caterers comprehend the needs of the market, and are equal to the demand. With a largely increased stock and an earnest desire to please, they cannot fall to secure a generous custom. They now enjoy a busi? ness prestige accorded to few, and all who have dealings with the Arm wish that "their days may be long in th? laud." m NEW COTTON.-The following consignments of new cotton were received yesterdaj:by our factors: One bale from. Diavl?jB Depot, ?ar? lington County, and one bale from Ri cn! and County, both consigned to Messrs. Reeder & Davis; one bale from Blackville and one from Ch era w, both.,;to Mes? re. Frost & Adger;.two bales from Columbia,' S?C,, t?-Mr. W. Walton Smith; one bale lrom Abbeville Courthouse, to Messrs. Sloan & Setgnlous; two from Barnwell County, to Messrs. Pelzer, Rodgers A Co., and. one from Barnwell, to Messrs. Geo. H. Walter' A Co. THE - WAT IHE MONET -GOES.-Last week four laborer*, with spades and wheelbarrows, marched to th eliot adjoining Christopher's sta-, bles, three door's sou th of Morris street. Short? ly afterward came three surveyors, who, In two dave, laid out a ditch about'sixty feet long, twenty inches wide and ten inches deep. The laborers dng the ditch in three days, and the carpenter with his assistants made a trunk of four planks In lengths of. ten feet, with the assistance of a b ri ck lay er 'and nls men this was pnt in position .in two days; the ditch making.the gateway Impassable by any ve? hicle. We are Informed that the whole work should have been done in a day or two. What lt has actually cost, the taxpayers may never know. j 1 V ' AFTER THE PIGS.-In Charleston-'the time for keeping pigs in the back yard ls past, and the vigilant officer in charge of this depart? ment unearthed, on Saturday last, numbers Ol these contented animals in their filthy retreats. Under a dwelling house ls the place where pigs may be secured from the Incursions ol pork-lovIn~ depredators, and the basements ar$, acco. jgly,. always looked, after, and' geneially with success. Robert Horlbeck, C. Geddes, Jerry Gray and V. Gadsden, colored, and J. Lorenzo and N. Jones, white,were up be? fore the Mayor yesterday for keeping pigs, and were ordered to remove iHe offensive beasts' t forthwith. Most ol the Inspected premises had a pair of porkers; several had five, and one had as many as nine. GIVE A Doo A BAD NAM E.-Henry Flnckney, alias Nassau Grant, a colored youth, arrested by tho.* detectives a few days ago for vagrancy and on suspicion of larceny, was brought be? fore Trial Justice Magrath and sentenced to Sf?nd a term o? thirty days In Sheriff Mackey's hotel. Henry ls an old offender, and bears a high character among the detectives for hardi hood and shrewdness in his thieving opera? tions. A few days ago he was Been loafing around the streets without any employment or place of residence, and he was forthwith arrested on suspicion. Not being eligible for conviction as a thief, he was tried on the in? definite charge of vagrancy and sentenced as above. It wili be refreshing for him to know that, though the proprietor is absent, the hotel ls still conducted in the good old style. WHT IS THIS THUS *-Thomas Perry, Joseph Bryant, Morris M ash oe and. Jacob Smith, lour youths, arrested on the charge of stealing and plundering at the late fire in Meeting street, were brought before the Mayor yesterday morning and discharged af? ter a hearing. These boys were captured at the fire, and In almost every instance the evi? dence of their guilt, such as boots, shoes, straw bats, Ac, just taken from the burning stores, were found in their possession. Many of these fires, it is suspected, are the work of incendiaries, who, during the confusion, find abundant opportunities for plunder, and we ?re compelled to regard the discharge ol the depredators, when they are caught In the act, as a tacit encouragement of the offence. The crop or thieves In Charleston ls luxuriant tnougb, and needs no cultivation. OCR SANITARY CONDITION. An Encouraging Exhibit-Scarcity of New Cuses of Fever-Precautions of the Authorities-A General and Rigo? rous Inspection and Cleaning Up The Military Moving Off and thc Cus? tomhouse to Close, die, &c* As the last days of August glide by and Tel low Jack, an unwelcome visitant under any circumstances, shows no disposition to lay a heavy hand on this community, the confidence and good spirits of our people, which were rudely Bhaken last week, are becoming re-es? tablished. After careful inquiry, we find that the progress of the fever-if progress it can be called-has been BO slight since our last Issue as to afford no reasonable ground for alarm; and the feeling is gaining ground that we shall, after all, escape an epidemic. A Work Well Done. The work of pumping out the various low places and cellars which were flowed by the late rains bas been prosecuted with such ener? gy that but little now remains for the fire en? gines to do in this line. But six or seven ap? plications were made to Major V '.Us yester? day for the assistance of the engines, whereas on previous days forty or fifty were common. These have been attended to with prompt? ness. The city is now quite free from stag? nant pools, and, with a liberal and energetic use of disinfectants by the authorities, we may calmly await the issue. Organized Inspection. At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, in response to a cali from Dr. Le boy, the eily registrar, a number of leading citizens, representing the several ward?, met in the Council Chamber to confer and co-operate with the authorities as to the measures proper lo be adopted for the preservation of the health of Charleston. Besides Mayor Pillsbury and Dr. Lebby, the following gentlemen were present: Messrs. John Hanckel, J. H. Steinmeyer, Henry Bisch? off, L. D. Mowry, 0. A. Bowen, George 8. Hacker and T. G. Barker. After a full and free discussion, it was determined that the gentlemen named should at once proceed, under authority fro m the Mayor, to organize a thorough and systematic sanitary inspector of their respective wards. For this purpose they are authorized and directed, in the capacity ol assistant health officers, to designate such a number ol residents of each ward, as In their Judgment will be sufficient, to constitute a ward committee of Inspection, who shall di? vide their ward into sub-districts, and make a personal examination of the premises of each householder therein, and promptly report to the proper officers every lot that shall seem to them to require either cleansing, draining or disinfecting. Dr. Lebby and the Mayor assured the gen? tlemen present that. In the discbarge ol their new and important duties, they might rely npon the earnest and willing advice and sup? port of the city physicians, and that no time would be lost by the health and police depart? ments in following up the results of the In? vestigation, and carrying out such suggestions as they might offer, to the end that the whole city may as speedily as possible be placed in a perfectly clean and wholesome condition. Dr. Lebby also announced the arrangements that had been made for the distribution of dis? infectants. These may be obtained by the citi? zens at the upper and lower Guardhouses, and at the City Hospital, in the proportions of three pounds of lime and five pounds of copperas to each dwelling. He also recommended that in using copperas, it should be dissolved In about tea tl mes i ls volume of bolling water, and then poured hot into the sinks, Ac. After some further informal consultation, the conference separated with a view ol beginning the work of organization Immediately. Tbe necessity for an Inspection, to be conducted In this man? ner by private citizens, affords a strange and severe commentary upon the criminal negli? gence and equally criminal absence lrom lils post?t this season of the individual who is just now'disporiing himself somewhere down East, and enjoying ih.j liberal pay and perquis? ites of city Inspector of Charleston. The Howard Association. In response to a published call, a meeting of citizens was held yesterday in the hall of the Chamber of Commerce, for the purpose of re. organizing the Howard Association, which In sickly seasons accomplishes a vast amount of good. AB the number o? fever cases in the city ia exceedingly small, there ls no urgent de? mand for the BerviceB of the body, buttt was thought best, as a purely precautionary meas? ure,'to put tho association in working order. - Captain S. Y. Tupper, president of the Cham ber of Commerce, called the meeting to ord or. and, after explaining the nature of the busi? ness to be done, moved that Colonel James F, Taylor-a veteran in the charitable work-take the chair. Colonel Taylor briefly pointed out the prudential reasons In favor of resuscitat? ing the association, which had held no meet? ing fdr thirteen years; and, at the close bf his remarks, Dr. George S. Pelzer, the former sec? retary or the association, submitted the follow? ing resolutions, which were adopted: Resolved, That Inasmuch as thirteen years have elapsed since the last meeting of the Howard Association, of Charleston, was held, the Bald association be reorganized, In order to afford prompt and efficient relief, should cir? cumstances require lt. Resolved, That for the above purpose a com? mittee of five be appointed by the chairman ol this meeting to nominate officers, and report at an adjourned meeting,to be held on to-mor? row, Tuesday, thc 79eli instant, at 12 o'clock M., at thts place. . . The chair appointed the committee as fol? lows: Messrs. George 8. Pelzer, 8. Y. Tupper, George H. Monett, T. Y. Simons and E. WIIUB. .In the course ol the meeting, it was made known that the available means of the asso? ciation amount to the handsome sum of two thousand dollars. Withdrawal or the United States Troops . The two companies of light artillery, hith? erto stationed at--the Citadel, yesterday with? drew to Summerville, In the neighborhood of which town they are encamped, and will re? main until October. The removal was effected in obedience to orders received Tuesday from General Terry, commanding the Department of the South, In Louisville, Kentucky, to the effect that lt any cases ot yellow fever should occur,' the officer In command should, in his .discretion, remove the troops without await? ing further orders. At C o'clock in the morn? ing, Company A, of the Third Regiment Uni? ted States Light Artillery, fell In at the Citadel Green, and with thelr-pieces took up their line of march by the State Road for Summerville. Later '.n the day, Company I, who now act as heavy Infantry, not being furnished with horses, marched up to the South Carolina Railroad Depot and took the accommodation train at 2.45 P. M. for Summerville. The bag? gage and tents of the two companies also went along on this train. The colonel, with the staff officers and band, have also removed, and will make their headquarters in the same town. Lieutenant Smith, the quartermaster, and three men have been left in charge of the Citadel, where the four guns of Company I are also kept under shelter. The Citadel is silent and deserted, and the neighborhood will miss the stirring strains of the bugle, which wer* wont to awake the echoes of the building at 5 o'clock in the morning. The Alarm at the Customhouse. A telegram from Washington brings the (we doubt not) welcome tidings that the govern? ment will authorize the suspension of duties at the Customhouse until the danger has blown over. The fact that the building is In the most feverish quarter, together with the circumstance that, the employees are mostly strangers to our climate, would seem to ren? der this but a prudent step. FIRE.-The alarm of fire last night was caused by the rekindling of the embers of the late conflagration of Saturkay night, opposite the Charleston Hotel, on Meeting street. It resulted In no further damage, as ?t was promptly subdued. SHOOTING AFFRAY.-William Baker was brought before Trial Justice Brennan yester? day for preliminary examination, on the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. The evidence as far as taken, goes to show that Baker and Jacob Ricnardson got into a quarrel on Saturday, duriDg which the former fired a revolver at Richardson, but missed him. Baker was admitted to bail to appear this morning at 10 o'clock. SCENE IN ELLIOTT STREET.-Yesterday after? noon Joseph Bolsden, residing in the peaceful locality known as Elliott street, returned to bis bouse in a state of intoxication, and find? ing nothing else upon which to vent his spleen, pitched into his wife. Taking the unfortunate woman by the hair,.the drunken brute admin? istered several kicks on her breast, and struck her repeatedly over the head. Her Bcreams of pain and terror soon attracted a crowd to the scene, and a policeman coming up arrested the wife-beater. He was taken before Trial Justice Magrath, and upon the affidavit of the abused woman, was committed lor examina? tion to-day. DEATH OF A YOUNO CHARLESTON MERCHANT. Mr. O. D. Seymour, Jr., a partner of the well known house of W. M. Bird & Co., died in this city, after a short illness, and his funeral ser? vices will be held this morning, at Trinity (M. E.) Church. Mr. Seymour, though a compara? tive stranger, had won many lriends, and bis untimely death will cast a gloom over a large circle. He was a native of Hartford, Conn., and connected with the Seymours of that State, who have always ulled high positions in the political world. Mr. Seymour had just re? turned to this city from a visit North when stricken with disease. He leaves a young wife and lather and mother ta deplore bis loss. MUTINY AND INSUBORDINATION.-Peter Hanson, one of the sailors employed upon the buoy-tender A la nt h us. attempted to de. ert and leave the steamer yesterday afternoon, when the captain interierred to prevent him. He assaulted the captain, and struck bim several severe blows, bruising his face and person to Borne extent The bystanders in? terposed, and Peter having been arrested, was taken before Trial Justice Magrath for exami? nation. This took place immediately, and upon the evidence, the justice committed the prisoner to jail, to await his trial before the United States District Court on the charge of desertion, mutiny, insubordination and assault and battery upon the captain. CLUBS AND STARS_James Cockley, reported for throwing sawdust in the gutter in Market street, was sentenced to pay a fine of'fl ve dol? lars or go to the House ol Correction for ten days. Wm. Robinson, arrested for raising a dis? turbance in Market street on Saturday night, was discharged alter an examination. M. Powers, reported for not removing the offal from Water and East Bay streets, was fined five dollars. Patrick Cleary, arrested ior being drunk and disorderly on King street, and afterwards raising a disturbance in the Statlonbouse, for? feited his deposit of five dollars by not appear? ing belore the Mayor. THE COMET LIGHT INFANTRY.-The second anniversary parade ol this popular colored company, Captain P. L. Miller, was appropri? ately celebrated yesterday by a parade and target excursion. Ou the parade through the streets, the company was escorted by the At? tucks Light Infantry, aud the two presented a soldierly and creditable appearance. The shooting at the target was conducted with spirit and skill, aud the prizes were won as , lollows: First prize, gold medal, by Corporal A. C. Mariano. Second prize, company plume, by Private W. J. S. Jennings. Third prize, Bilver cup. by Private George Davis, ot the Attucks L. 1. Fourth prize, worst shot, crying baby, Ser? gent H. B. Pickenpack. Officers prize, sliver goblet, Second Lieuten? ant W. H. Smith, Comet Light Infantry. Late in the evening the companies returned to the city In good order, and highly pleased with the succesBeB of the day. THE CASE OF NASH. CHARLESTON, S. C., August 29. "TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. In your issue of yesterday you state that James Nash was Instigated by me to commit an assault and battery upon myself, ld order that I might, by arresting him, prevent his departure In the ship to which, it 1B alleged, he belongs. In this matter I beg leave to state you have been mlslnlormed, although irom the gross injustice done this poor man, I should have heartily rejoiced bad he put lt In my power to have BO detained him. But the poor fellow now is lil, caused undoubtedly by bis unlawful incarc?ration for four days lu a hot and narrow cell.
