CHARLESTON, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER I, 1871.
^ EARLY FALL FASHIONS.
A CHAPTER OF HEWS AND GOSSIP FOR
THE LADIES.
THE POLONAIS.
Decidedh" the fall fashion tor costumes U the
Polonaise, and this has assumed quite a new
form. It does not sit quite tight to the ?gure.
Oe the froat the shoulders and bust are
flited perfectly, and the waist is just ont lined,
but the seams do not keep quite close to the
form, thus pi .venting that ridge which will
always fo:d in at the point where corsage
and skirt meet. The back presents a very an?
tique st3le revived. There ls a seam down the
middle as well as two side-pieces, and these
three seams are stiffened wltn whalebone and
continued to the extreme point of the pan?
nier, where the fulness ot, the skirt is sudden?
ly thrown out io two deep plaits, and then
caught up and bunched In with two large
bows. The Polonaise ls made quite long,
?nd also looped at the sides, so that the iront
breadth falls ia deep folds. There is some?
thing very novel and striking in the lorm of |
this garment, and we shall, erelong, doubtless
see our elegantes disporting themselves on
Filth avenue in this singular revival of a very
antique mode.
COL
Browns and purples are to be en r?jle for
street wear during the coming season, and in
the former half a dozen shades offer them?
selves. Including the rich Van Dyke, clove,
noyer. London aad russet. In purple, espe?
cially becoming to brunettes, we have flamme
de Vesure, nacarat, Humboldt, and the shades
merging Into wine color. For evening wear
the new silks appear in pale tints of blue,
pink and green, siso saumon gris, trying to
any but a perfect complexion. Full waists
and plaited skirts are among the things that
.were, for everything Is gored and tied back to
Pfeake the skirt as plain as possible. The
underskirt is made without even the smallest
lurking fold, and the Marguerite polonaise,
the last novelty, is looped some distance be?
low the tighl-fliting waist. Loopings at the
fc aide are very lull, but the backs ol all dresses,
are half ba-qnes. so that over the pannier there
is no fulness. Cretonne polonaises are be?
coming popular, and these are looped with
black velvet bows. Thlbets. lor autumn suits?
are very pretty, being found in quiet shades
of Russian gray, cypress green, and the new
Van Dyke brown. Black ells continues to
hold Its own, and cloths are also pushing Into
favor. The season has not fairly opened yet,
but from present indications prices are reason?
able, and tr the buyer 'has merely, average
taste and discrimination, pretty costumes are
within the reach of the most modest income.
CAMEO FAILLES.
Among the many very elegant dresses Im
?orted thi3 season are exquisite soft silks,
nown to mantuamakers as failles. They have
a heavy reps, and yet are not In the least stiff,
and these delicate fabrics come in "sections"
or shades, three to ?very color, and all the
colors so dainty, so subdued, that there is
nothing in the least gaudy even in the blues
and greens. For several years all the bright
hijrs were so exceedingly bright that no well
dressed woman would wear them on the
street; and black became, in consequence, the
most stylish wear for walkinz-dresses. Now,
however, a line of gooqs is offered of such un?
obtrusive tints that most beautiful promenade
costumes can be formed from them.
BISMARCK FAILLE.
A very elegant dress in light Bismarck faille
had the underskirt ornamented with a blas
flounce lined with chestnut-colored satin, and
set on In deep fla: plaits, so that at every told
the upper edge was caught down, displaying
the lining. The upper ?rarment consisted of i
Polonaise in the style Just described, the cor
sage ornamented with folds to imitate the
plaited waists so much worn in the summer;
the lower edge ot the skirt garnished with
flat side-plaited mine, lined like the under
Jaoucce. Bows of the minzled satin and silk I j
ornamented tnt iront and' looped the Polo?
naise.
B0NNKT3.
When gazing on the new Importations In bon?
nets I could not but wonder who would have
the audacity first to wear one of these extra?
ordinary structure?, the style differs so decid?
edly from any heretofore worn. The crown Is
high and square, the Iront very flaring, and
there ls somewhat of a cape at the back, alto?
gether a much larcer head-covering than has
appeared in several years. One Marie Antoi?
nette opera hat was of a sort of faded saffron
colored silk, the crown high and puffed, the
Iront flaring, with a heavy white ruche inside,
the trimming of biased bands of peach-colored
plush. Another more civilized tookjng head?
gear was ot black velvet, the frame psrrectly
round; having a fall of black lace all about lt
like a round hat, the crown high, with blas
bands ot velvet and satin, and two blue feath?
ers at the side.
ROUND HATS.
In veritable round hals I was shown one
welch I was told was a "half gentleman's
bat." What a "hali gentleman'', may be I
have no idea; whether lt is a person who fre
3uer.ts Fifth avenue on Sunday, and adorns
ie Bowery the rest ot the week, or whether
there was in this name a covert satire at the
"strong-minded," and this coiffure was in?
tended especially to be worn by ladies who
aspire lo vote, was not ezolaiued to me.

Attorney-General Akerman left for Raleigh
on Thursday last, instead of Georgia, to attend
to the proceedings in the United States Court
there arising under the Klu-Klux act. On Fri?
day he was in consultation with Judge Bond
and Governor Caldwell, ot North Carolina.
Thus far some three hundred arrests have been
made, many of which have been based on the
mere dictum of a colored witness, and which
have In several Instances been lound to be
cases of mistaken identity.
Advices here indicate an attempt to Involve
several of the Conservative officials ot'North
Carolina In the so-called Ku-Klux conspiracy,
with a view to their arrest and imprisonment,
and the impression seems to be that many of
these arrests are dictated aaa kind of political
revenge on those who were open advocates for
the impeachment and removal of ex-Governor
Holden irom office. A battery of artillery and
regiment of infantry are stationed at Raleigh
to assist the authorities il called upon.

TWO GEORGIANS SETTLE A QUARREL
WITH TUE FISTOL.
The Challenger Severely Wounded.
[from the Augusta Constitutionalist, September
19th.]
Saturday afternoon a rumor was circulated
that two eren tie rn en of lids city. Messrs. Wm
D'Antignac and John Dell, had had a difficulty
rturlng the day, and that the affair was about
lo culminate in a duel, a challenge having
passed between the partie?. This rumor get?
ting to the etfts of the police, an investigation
ivas immediately instituted by them, the result
ot which proved' the rumor to be correct. The
gentlemen were accordingly arrested at once,
and carried bet?re the proper officer, where
they were required lo give bond lu $2000 each
to keep the peace. The parties gave bond and
were released. Those who knew of the affair
then boped that it had been settled, and that
no further steps would be taken. As it after?
ward proved, however, these hopes were not
realized.
The whole affair grew out of a difficulty
over some trivial maller, which ended in a
challenge being sent lrom Mr. Dell to Mr.
D'Antignac. Toe challenge was accepted by
Mr. D'Antignac, and the -preparations were
being made for a duel between the parties,
wheu they were a-rested and required io give
bond as above stated. By this, however, uiey
were only debarred from righting in Georgia,
and it was determined to carry out the orlgl
final Intention somewhere in South Carolina,
he seconds, after consultation, fixed upon
Granltevllle as the proper place for the meet?
ing, and Sunday morning, at S o'clock, as the
time. In accordance with this arrangement,
one party, consisting of Mr. D'Antignac, his
second, Mr. J. Harriss, and a Mirgeon,
Dr. DeSaussure Ford, proceeded to Granlte?
vllle by the early morning train on
the South Carolina Riilroad, while Mr.
Dell, with his second, Mr. Ratcliffe, and his
surgeon, Dr. Carter, went to the same place
on the train of the Charlotte. Columbia' and
Augusta Railroad. Several gentlemen from
this city accompanied the party in order to try
to effect a settlement ot tue difficulty without
bloodshed. Arrived at Graniteville the parti
were compelled to walt for daylight before
measuring off the ground, and completing the
arrangements usual on such occasions. During
this lime the gentlemen who came along in
the capacity ot peacemakers made every en?
deavor in their power io reconcile the parties,
but without avail. As soon as lhere was light
enough the seconds proceeded to hunt out a
suitaole spot for the encounter. This was se?
lected within the limits of the Village of
Granltevllle aud measured off. Some lime
was spent in perfecting the other prelimina?
ries, and at a Utile before 8 o'clock the princi?
pals were placed in posilion and the weapons,
navy revolvers, placed In their hands by their
seconds. At this Juncture another effort was
made to induce the parties to settle; but this
also proved futile, and the duel accordingly
Sroceeded. At the word both parties fired,
tit. D'Antignac a little in advance of his an?
tagonist. The bali from Mr. Dell's pistol
passed through the breast of Mr. D'Antignac's
coat, slightly grazing hi3 Hesta, while the
latter's ball went wide of the mark, lt
was now hoped that enough had been
done to satisfy both gentlemen, and
that everything would be amicably set?
tled. This was not the case, however, as the
challenger demanded a second fire, and the
men were accordingly placed in position asrain.
The signal was given, and both again fired.
Mr. Dell's ball struck Mr. D'Antignac In very
nearly the same place as the first had done,
but without lnfliciiug any wound upon his per?
son. Mr. D'Antignac's ball struck Mr. Deli's
right itg Just below the knee, passing through
into the fleshy part of the left leg through
which it also ploughed its way. Mr. Dell was
immediately looked alter bv his surgeon, and
all hostilities ceased.
Just at this time news was received on the
grou. 'i that a warrant had been taken out by
the South Carolina authorities for ihe arrest of
the party, and they accordinijly separated and
came back to the eily by different loutes. Mr.
Dell was placed on a'litter and in charge ot the
surgeons put on the next train lor Augusta,
? where he at last arrived faint and weak irom
loss of blood. His wound, we understand, is
of a very serious nature, but hopes are enter?
tained that he will eventually recover without
any ill ?consequences. The "bail passed very
close to the lemoral arteiy, but lortunatelv did
not injure it. We trust that we will be able in
a few days to chronicle Mr. Dell's complete re?
covery. ?
The duel is the first which has been foucrht
near this city In years, and, ot course, formed
the chief topic ot conversation on the streets
yesterday. The affair ls deeply deplored by
the iriendsol both parties. Before this diffi?
culty the two genlleraeu were on the best ot
tpn?s, and had no idea that anything o:' the
klud woukl ever happen.

TAMAATS DOWNFALL.
PROGRESS OE MUNICIPAL REFORM
I?' NEW YORK.
The Change in the Comptroller's Office,
and How it Came About - Ex-Mayor
II a vt m yfsr Takes a Hand-The Effect
of the Investigation-Latest Aspect? of
the Case.
As already indicated by our dispatches, the
great struggle between the Tammany Ring
and tbe people of New York, in the matter of
the city Irauds, has endPd for the present be?
t?re the courts, with a triumph for the oppo?
nents of the Ring. This event has been fol?
lowed up by some correspondence between
ex-Mayor Wm. F. Havemyer and Comptroller
Connolly, the result of which is the removal by
the latter ot his deputy, Richard A. Storrs,and
the appointment of Andrew H. Green, "with
full powers to exercise all the duties of the
comptroller's office." The lol lo win g is the
substance of the correspondence, which was
given to the New York papers on Saturday,
the day of its occurrence:
Ex-.Mnyor Havemyer and the Comp,
trailer.
Comptroller Connolly having, submitted to
Mr. Havemyer certain questions as to what
course he should pursue, tfie latter writes:
On the assumption of your innocence of the
charges made against you, I do not consider
the resignation of jour office as your proper
course. Your duty ls to give ev?ry facility to
the fullest investigation, and abide the result.
Second. In your answer to the request ot
Mayor Hall, for your resignation, you have
stated that yout official acts, which have been
impeached, were supervised and approved by
the superior vigilance ot Mayor Hall, that
equal responsibility for them attaches to
him, and that in his affidavit In the pend?
ing litigation those acts were adopted
and vindicated by bim. Even if you
are conscious of having done wrong
In your trust, you owe lt to the commu?
nity, not to do another wrong, but to make
every reparation in your power. To surrender
your office in the hands of a confederate would
be a fresh betrayal of your trust, and while lt
might damage yourself, would fall in doing
justice to (he community. No man selected by
Mayor Hall can, without some moral support
from the community, have the public confi?
dence. He will be compromised by suspected
understanding willi the "Rodin" of the ring.
As the law now stands, he can assume your
office only by an arrangement to which you
are a party, to create a vacancy for him. The
man you give place to ought not to be a tool of
those Implicated in the transactions which ex?
cite public distrust and alarm. He should be
the nominee of thc citizens now seeking to
protect the people. In that way alone cm he
have the confidence of t lie public, or improve
the credit of the city. Fortunately the law af?
fords a perfect solution of the case.
By section three ol'chapter 614, laws of 1871,
you are authorized to appoint a deputy
comptroller, who shall, In addition lo his other
powers, possess every power and shall perform
every duty belonging to the office of comp?
troller, whenever said comptroller shall, by
due written authority, designate and author?
ize said deputy comptroller to possess the
power and perlorm the dtity aforesaid. My ad?
vice lo you ls to forthwith appoint Andrew H.
Green as such deputy comptroller, and to leave
him to exercise the full powers ol your office,
without conditions and without Interference,
with complete custody of all books and papers
belonging to your office, wilta the appointment (
ot all persons whom he may think necessary
to protect the public property and interests,
and to enable him to curry out the most
searching investigation, and to aid the com?
mittee appointed tor that purpose. I have '
carefu.lv considered the selection I have re- t
commended. Mr. Green nas knowledge ana t
experience In th.. affairs of the city, has a most (
reliable character for integrity, lias no rela- .
lions which could mislead him by bad influ?
ences, and is strong in the public confidence.
If you adopt my advice, I shall insist on his ac?
cepting the disagreeable duty lor the sake of I
the public Interests. I
The Comptroller's Reply.
Mr. Connolly, In reply, "yields to the force 1
of lae suggestions" in M-. Havemyer's letler,
and adds :
I have determined to accept and favor the
advice it offers. In thus acting I am governed < ?
by a warm desire to restore the city depurt- ;
ment over which I preside to the confidence of
the community, and to secure such an examl- 1
nation ol' the affairs ol' the city as will satisfy i
the Just demands ot the public. I have, there- i
fore, appointed Andrew H. Green to the office (
of deputy comptroller, believing his known ,
character for'ability and integrity, fortified by
your approbation, will furnish abundant as?
surance that the financial administration ot ,
the city will be satisfactory, and will enable
the department to command the necessary
funds at once to discharge it- obligations to i
the laborers upon our public works, lorming
as they do the most meritorious class of the ?
city's creditors.
Effect of thc Injunction.
Judge Barnard, in conversation wita a re?
porter ot the Tribune, said:
My duty was so clear that I could not escape
it. the responsibility of my decision, affecting
as it so seriously does flie government of our
city, ls with the men who huve stolen the
money of the taxpayers. 11 does not rest on
the administration "ot the ?aw. They have no
alternative but to do what they believe to be
their sworn duty. The theory that Mr. Con?
nolly is only partly responsible, is absurd. The
whole responsibility for signing the warrants
rests on him. The mayor certainly counter?
signed them, but I do not believe the mayor,
by any exercise ol human endurance or men?
tal vigilance, can sustain anything like
thoroush supervision of the comptroller's ac?
counts." any more than President Grant can
exercise a thorough supervision over the ac?
counts of the national treasury. The execu?
tive must give a cer.aln allowance of rope to
its subordinates. '
Reporter. Can this perpetua! injunction be
In any way dissolved ?
Judge Barnard. It can. but not until the
general term of the Supreme Court, which
meets In December. But, practically, the peo?
ple have already got every remedv the law can
grant.
Reporter. Is there any possible escape for
the city authorities Irom the legal effects of
this injunction ?
Judge Barnard. None whatever; it is Im?
possible. No, the people, through the law
courts, have completely stopped any possibili?
ty ot further stealing. When the present crisis
is past the city government will go on as
usual, but it will have been purified.
Reporter. What is the exact bearing of
your decision ?
Judge Barnard. That 'he Injunction shall
continue In force pending the decision of the
board of apportionment.

NEW YORK. September ID.
A meeting of Democrats who are opposed to
Tammany Hall was held last evening, heinz
presided over by Samuel G. Courtney, the
district attorney under President Johnson.
Among those present were the Hon. Ben
Wood, ex-Sheriff O'Brien and Congressman
Roosevelt.
General GPO. B. McClellan declined to accept
the office of comptroller, because he would
thereby, under the existing circumstances, be?
come a contestant for the position. Had Mr.
Connolly resigned he would, under certain
stipulations, have accepted.
Comptroller Connolly and deputies have
doubled the guards and barricaded the doors
to his office.
Charles O'Conor, at the request of L. J.
Tilden, gave a written opinion that Connolly,
by the appointment of a deputy to perform all
his functions and exercise all his power*, reali v
abandons his office; but that this appointment
Is In strict accordance with law. Nothing but
judicial action can set aside Connolly's rights.
The law confers no right of removal upon Hall,
either expressly or by Implication.
The committee of seventy ha3 just held a
meeting und adopted resolutions sustaining
Mr. Green. The latter has issued a notice that
Hie Interest on the bonds and stocks ol the
corporation falling due on November I will be
paid by the city chamberlain In the new court?
house on that day, and that the transfer books
will be closed on Wednesday. The letter from
Richard O'Gorraan to Mayo- Hall gays, In rela?
tion to the action of the latter concerning the
matter of the comptroller's office, he
eJdould be governed more by consid?
erations ol expediency and sound policy
than by those ot merely strictly right or
legal power. He cannot advise the mayor to
take any step that may lead to complicated
litigation. He ?Avises him to treat Connolly
as comptroller. If he does not think him en?
titled to All the office de jure, to treat him as
comptroller de facto. This course, he thinks,
will prevent financial difficulties, and the con?
tinuance of that public excitement and sense
of insecurity which a prolonged legal contro?
versy would Intensify.

pm* OVER-DOCTORED.-WI T II O U T
any disrespect to the members of the medical
profession, a profession honored by all thinking
men, lt ia only Just to say that they are too thick |
on the ground. The consequence ls that the
community ls doctored over mach. When na?
ture needs only the gentle stimulant and altera?
tive, which has become famous throughout the
country as a reliable medicine, under the name
cl UOSTETTER'? STOMACH BITTERS, she ls
not unfrequently dosed with a dozen preacrlp.
Hons, all experimental, from the Pharmacopla.
This ls an evl', and proves that the practice of |
medicine ls far from being at all times the beal?
ing art. At this period of the yaar, when the
fall of the leaf indicates that decay haa Belzed
upon the vegetable kingdom, many harassing
diseases are prevalent, chief among these may
be mentioned intermittent fever and bilious re?
mittent. The exhalations rising from decompo?
sing vegetation, and the heavy dews and fogs,
are very apt to generate these complaints. The
wisest policy ls to protect thejsystemby a course
of UOSTETTER'? STOMACH BITTERS at the
commencement of the fall. Much suffering may
thereby be avoided. But If the disease has alrea?
dy begun, its periodical visitations miy readily
te checked and broken up by this active, yet
harmless, vegetable tonic.
Buibeonyonr guard against the charlatans
who are attempting to palm off, under various
names, unwholesome compounds, which they
pretend to compare favorably with the great na?
tional elixir, which has long since swept more 1
formidable opposltloo from the field. Bear
In mind that every bottle of genuine HOSTET
TE R'S STOMACH BITTERS ls authenticated by a
splendidly engraved label and a fae simile ot the

THE, CELEBRATED
GERMAN
SOOTHING CORDIAL,
FOR INFANTS TEETHING.
This ls the bes: Medicine for Infants and yoong
Children ever offered to the public. It ls carefully
prepared from the best Drugs, according to a pre?
scription tarnished by a distinguished German
Physician or large and successful practice, and
has been tried and approved by many or oar best
physicians. It is specially adapted to the diseases
Incident to childhood during the trying period of
teethings, and recommends Itself for the core
Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Colic, Griping la th
Bowels, Sommer Complaint, Ac. It contains
NO ANODYNE,
or other injurious Drag, and should, therefore,
be preferred to the Soothing Syrups that now flood
the market, which are known to contain opium,
and are, therefore, more or less injurious. Thous?
ands of children are murdered annually by Sooth?
ing Syrups; In some cases, this fact has been pub
llshed in the newspapers, where the physician la
attendance so stated In his death certificate. In
the numerous other cases, where the innocents
are murdered by this modern Herod of the Nur?
sery, the cause ls laid to a thousand other causes
to ail bm the right one.
Mothers, bear this In mind, and use the GER?
MAN SOOTHING CORDIAL, which ts safe, effi?
cient and satisfactory.
DO NOT FAIL TO TRY A BOTTLE
AT ONCE!
This SOOTHING CORDIAL ts also an excellent
Tonic, admirably adapted ta cases of debility
giving tone to the system, recuperating the
