of this bark was performed in the most credit?
able manner, and she carried an excess of full
one hundred and fifty bales over what wa? ex?
pected would be her capacity. The steve
doresswork was done by Mr. Townsend, who
ha?, we learn, given great satisfaction, and it
ls with gratification that we note that the
superior manner in which the cotten vessels
are laden here is now meeting with general
approbation.
THE ORGAN of the Church of the Holy Com?
munion has just been taken down and re?
placed by Mr." Stein, who came for that pur?
pose from the establishment of the builders,
Messr?. Stein & Turner, of Westfield, Mas'.
The organ is a very fine instrument, and has
greatly improved in tone since lt was put up
two years ago. Mr. Stein ls an experienced
tuner of the organ, and lt would be advanta?
geous to those who need his services to call
upon him before he leaves Charleston. He
can be seen for a day or two by referring to
the rector o? the church of the Holy Commu?
nion. _
A TERMAGANT ABS ?AD.-At a late hour on
Sundayxlght Sylvia Davis, one of the deni?
zens of E liott street, became in pressed with
the idea that the evil spirit was about to take
her, and gave vent to her horror In successive
whoops and screams. The police came upi
and Clubs and Stars, with an eye to business,
smelling more alcohol than brimstone around,
took the alarmist to J.e Guardhouse on the
charge of being drunk and disorderly. The
case was investigated yesterday morning, and
the Mayor sentenced Sylvia to pay a fine of
two dollars or go to the House of Correction
lor ten day?.
SPEAKING SPANISH.-Among the small hours
ol yesterday morning a watchful policeman
came across a dark object lying on South At?
lantic wharf, which proved, on investigation,
to be a man. He was with difficulty aroused
from sleep, when Cubs and Stars began to in?
terrogate him as to the why and the wherefore
ol beiBg there. The man explained himself at
length, but showed signs o;' fighting at the
shaking of the head of Clubs and Stars, who
failed to comprehend ihe language in which
the prisoner was speaking. His action, how?
ever, spoke more intelligently than his tongue,
and Clubs and Stars having seen cases of the
Mad before, carried the man to the Guard
house, and with a bold guess entered his
charge against a Spanish sailor for being
drunk and unable to take care of himself. The
prisoner, a few hours later, perceived the Jus?
tice of the charge, and understanding things a
little bett*^- paid up lils dollar and left.

THE GREAT MASONIC CELEBRATION.
Preparation* on Foot-The Gathering
of the Lodges.
The preparations for the great celebration
among the mystic brotherhood, which have
been spoken ol for some time past, presented
themselves yesterday in a practical manner to
the crowd in King and Wentworth streets.
Early io the morning the workmen assumed a
defensive position on King street, near the
corner of Wentworth, and by dint of digging
and nailing a large and convenient stand was
erected in the middle of King Btreet, opposite
Holmes's bookstore. A little further down the
street tu? preparations were more impo.-ingi
and before long a lofty and splendid arch
spanned the street from the centre ol the new
temple to the opposite sidewalk. Two smaller
arches were Uien erected over the sidewalks
adjoining each end of the larger arch.
The carpenters, however, did not have the
work entirely to themselves, as the arches and
stands had to be decorated. Tnis task had
been confided to the ladies, and the work
could not have been in better hands. A
charming committee assembled at an early
hoar at Archer's Hall. Piles of evergreen,
long ropes and reams of paper of all colors
were awaiting their manipulations. The fairy
fingers flew, and from the chaotic piles ol rub?
bish sprang wreaths, roses innumerable,
bouquets and interminable lengths ol' ever?
green for garland?. Late In the evening, the
committee were still at work, and what was
accomplished the public will see as soon as
the decorations are placed lu position.
Another sign of the times is the assemblage
of the fraternity in the city. From every
county in the State the representatives have
arrived, and at every step along our thorough?
fares may be seen our country visitors doing
business with one hand and with the other re?
turning the welcome of their friends, whom
they bail with delight at having escaped from
the clutches of the legendary Yellow Jack.
Every boarding-house ls full, and the lists of
hotel arrivals show dropsical tendencies.
Business is rushing, and the' merchants may
now estimate the advantages they have gain?
ed by having the Grand Bast permanently
located in the city. The Grand Lodge will be
opened at the Odd Fellows' Hall, at 12 M. to?
day, all of the officers being in the elly. The
inscription upon the corner-stone has been
finished, and was visible yesterday in "White's
Marble Yard," In Meeting, a few doors below
Market street. The new temple is also an ob?
ject of much interest to the visiting brethren,
and the practical eye at once announces that
"lt will be big enough to hold us this time."'
THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
We are informed that there are some grave
errorc in the letter signed Retrenchment,
printed in THE NEWS of yesterday. The facts,
as explained to us, are these: There was a
contract between the faculty of the Medical
College and th? City Council, twenty-five years
ago, to furnish medical and surgical assist?
ance to the Marine and City Hospital. Under
this contract the faculty took charge of the
Poorhouse and Marine Hospital. As soon,
however, as the Roper Hospital was organ?
ized the faculty gave up their contract with
the city, and the board of trustees elected a
surgeon and a physician, whom they paid, for
one-half the present work, double the salary
proposed lo be paid the physicians specified in
the bills now before the City Council.
As regards the Marine Hospital, the faculty
did contract with the United States Govern?
ment to furnish medical attendance to this
hospital, and complied with their contract
until the breaking out of the late war. At the
close of the war, the government sold the
Marine Hospital, and contracted with the city
lhat the physician of the City Hospital should
attend the patients who should be sent to the
hospital by the government or any foreign
power. In the case of the Cliy Hospital, the
contract lapsed by time, presumably with the
consent of both parties, and In the latter the
government ilsell has repudiated the agree?
ment.
The medical faculty have now every facility
in the City Hcspital for clinical instruction,
and do not desire anything more. The bill
before Council is based upon motives of re?
trenchment, and drawn up with the express
view of saving the city all unnecessary ex?
pense. It desires to provide a ready and
speedy attendance upon the sick of the city
who are unable to pay a physician. It is,
however, not yet passed, and If "Retrench?
ment" would explain to Its mover any way In
which a'l the advantages it proposes could be
secured at a less expense, we are certain he
would be heard with attention, and see the
bill modified or changed at its second reading.
THE ROW IN ROTTENBORO'.
This infammable locality became, on Sun?
day evening, the scene of a disgraceful riot,
in which several persons were beaten, but
fortunately none were killed. Quite a num?
ber of colored men bad assembled In front of
Arnau's grocery, which also boasts of the at?
traction of a cheap bar, and many being quar?
relsome and nearly drunk, they found no bet?
ter amusement than in making two boys
fight. This not being conducted with any re?
gard for lair play, was Interrupted by a sober
colored man who was passing. The interfer?
ence with their Sunday sport was enough for
the drunken crowd, and the colored mun was
soon knoiked down. The row once begun
did not stop here, and soon the whole street
was filled with colored men and women shout?
ing, screaming, throwing brickbat?, and brand?
ishing and strlkiog with their clubs. One of
those knocked down now drew a pistol and dis?
charged it In the crowd. The report only made
the fighting more fierce, but it attracted the at?
tention o? a policeman near by. He quickly ran
to the scene of action and attempted to arrest
two colored men who were beathing another
with clubs. In a moment he was assailed,
and received several serious blows from the
bludgeons of the drunken ruffians. There
were now over one hundred negroes fighting
?D.thestreet.and the disturbance seemed on the
increase. A messenger had been sent at once
to the Guardhouse by the neighbors; but be?
fore the arrival of the police, the crowd began
to break up, and the fighting by degrees
ceased. On the arrival of a squad of police,
the ground was clear, and none of the com?
batant recently engaged could be found. One
of them has been since captured, and the case
referred t J a trial Justice. The others will be
arrested soon. _
