Our Charleston Letter. Corfttpondenee of The People : CUARL83T0H, September 29,1879. Messrs. Editors : Not only the city press’but the State papers generally j' are filled up with artid -s on the con test now going on in Charleston be tween the several candidates for Ma'y- or ; and you will, I hope, excuse me for eaving that ^hese correspondents and interviewers do not reflect the feelings of the citizens in the matter any more than do the News and Cou rier and Sunday Times, Gentlemen vistlng the city come prejudiced by the statements of the city papers ro- ferred to, and as rule they are thrown la with the followers of our candidate In every instance, and in consequence the luformation which they aie able to gather IS entirely exparto In its charac ter. I do not say that they do this designedly, for many of thess corre spondents are really anxious to dis cover the standing of these gentlemen with the voters and in their letters they state what they conscientiously believe to be the truth. But you can readily understand how they are mis- Ip,! Tn tho firnt- nlar>« the N eW8 aI) d Courier is a strong Cdurtettny orr»s and has been from the beginning, what is Its grounds of opposition to Mayor Sale I am not able to or not willing to say ; Sales himself might throw some light on the subject if be felt so dis posed. But the posltioa^f that paper and the strength of Mayor Sale in the city rendered It highly impolitic for the News and Courier to take any pro nounced Ptand against him. None know the great strength of Mayor Sale better than the heads of that pa per and the patronage of the Mayor and the patronage of his numerous and influential followers prevented the News and Courier from tnaKing a per sonal fight against him. The amount ■of capital Invested in that paper was too great to permit It to take any risk, and had it adopted the course that its offspring the Times has, an other paper would have been started in Charleston ; and every man in the ru ral flections of the State knows how such a move would effoct the News and Courier. The Times on the other hand is entirely devoted to the interest of Mr. Courtenay, and while every com mendable trait he possesses and every good deo 1 be perfotms is placed to his credit; the Times never bos any thing to say about those traits and acts whtoh the public presumably dis likes. But how about its position in regard to Mr. Sale ? It is simply re versed. It does not give him credit for a single good trait or deed ; and if one was to form his opinion of Mr Sale from the editorials in the Times he would be forced to believe that Sale was.the most infamous wretch on the globe. Now both men are well known ia Charleston, and any non partisan citizen of this city will tell you that the character, public and prl vate, of Mr. Sale stands as high as does Mr. Courtenay or anybody else. Mr. Sale has no orctan to puff and pralso him and hurl charges against his opponent, and for thio reason those outside of the city have formed very erroneous views of the two men as of the noaflnating body if made. Is tbis the way a great public Jour nal should act? It is certainly the way as class of prominent citizens haveJoeeu acting Jn this city for some time. They will tell you and publish it too in? their .organs and that Sale says he will abide by the decision of the convention if he is the nominee, but that H&-utterly refuses to himself to do__so if he is not. There Is no truth whatever In this. He has from tbo first said emphatically that ho would abide by the acts of the con vention unk-sa that body proclaims fraud. Is he not right? And can any one blame him for so qualifying hiB preiaiap. He Is fully conscious of his strength and also of the intention of those favoring his opponent to defeat by any moans In their power. To give you an idea of how the orgafls work up things I will give you a little inci dent which occurred recently. A meet- lug of Courtenay men was called at a given point to organize a Courtenay club. There were present not exceed ing thirty men all told, and yet the next morning’s paper had a long ac count of the large and enthusiastic meeting of the personal friends of Mr. Courtenay. The next night the friends of Mr. C. in another ward held a meet ing, and no small proportion of the men present were at the one held the night before, and again it was report ed as a large enthut-iastlo meeting of the friends of Mr. CourtenayH’or that ward. Now, Messrs. Editors, I am not writ- ng for the-purpose of building up one or these men or throwing down the other. I believe them both to be good men and true. I can’t influence a vote for or against either one, and would not if I could. But I believe honestly that unless a better and wiser council prevails that we will have a Tammany here which will end not only ip the defeat of bur city ticket but will stimulate the radical party to fresh ef forts which (with Charleston’s large vote to aid them) will bring’down de feat on tbe party in the State election. think it is getting time for men to throw aside all partisan feelings and go to work to carty the next election and unless the people take this mat ter up and cut all Jco. Kellys oiT as ’ast os they show their bands we can’t expect anything but defeat. In tbe —* * '*'*'1 epniious too we are to Le more careful than ever before. The will of the majority must be known beyond a shadow of a doubt, and when known It must be observed with religious care. Observer.

(Kciri and Oourlor.t At a meeting of the Board o! Direc tors of the People’s Bank of South Carolina held on Saturday, It was de termined to suspend the operations of LftR&io wind up its aflidra as soon ns possible ; this step being ren dered necessary from unefpected 11- nanclai embarrasements. This bank, which bos descended directly from the old People’s Bank of South Carolina of ante helium days, was reorganized in January 1870, with Mr. JobnflJ. La- fltte as president, with a capital based upon assets valued at $25,000. Mr. Lafltte was succeeded by Mr. John Hanckel In April 1871, and he. In turn, was succeeded by Mr. George Gibbon in September 1874.'~Jrom the depre dation in railroad and other securities, of which the assets of the bank were argdy made up, tbo capital was in April 1875 reduced to $80,000. In January, 1876, when Mr. Albert Lengnick, the present president, took charge of the bank, the real cash val ue of Its capital was estimated at $30,- 000. the nominal being $80,000^ With this small capital the bank carried on discount business of from $150,000 to $160,000, the net profits during Mr. Lengulck’s administration being fully 25 per cent on $30,000. In 1876 the net profits of the bank were $1,400; in 1877, $7,483 ; in 1878, $7,403 ; in 1870, up to the 1st of April, $4,800, and from the 1st of April to date, $3,009. On Saturday" last - IBe Bank badu note of $4,500 to meet in the First Na tional Bank, wbiqb, owing to a loss of 420,000 sustained by a recent comm’er- dnl failure, it was unable to pay. Ap plication was made to tbo People’s National Bank, with which tbu Peo ple’s Bank did a large discount busi ness, for further acoommodation, and t was refused, the president of the eople’s National Bank taking the ground that as tbs disbonorod paper for $20,000 had been rediscounted in New York and would mature in the next sixty days, the People’s Bank of South Carolina would be unable to weather the storm, and should bus- lend operations at once. This action, President Lengnick holds, waa entirely unnecessary, as with a little assistance his bank would .i to meM «U ♦hflls.rtblb gallons.

If during an exchange of views between Prince Bismarck and Count Andrassy the interests of Ger many and Austria are found to be parallel a written understanding may be drawn up relative ts all possible European combinations.

To Attain Long Lixe,—He who strives after a long and pleasant term of life must seek to attain continual equanimity, and carefully to avoid everything which too violently taxes his feelings. Nothing more quickTy consumes tbe vigor of life than the violence of the emotions of the mtrid. We know-that anxiety and care can destroy the healthiest body ; we know that fright and fear, yes, excess of joy, well as of the strength of their fol- become deadly. They who are natur ally cool and of a quldt turn of mind upon whom nothing can make too powerful an impression, who are not wont to be excited either by great Joy have tbe bestchanoeof living long and happy after manner. Preserve, there fore, under all circumstances, a com poaure of mind which no happiness no misfortune can too much disturb- Love nothing nothing too violently hate nothing too paslonately; fear nothing too atrongly.

They ars the men who brought out Mr. Courteny and seem determined to elect him. A correspondent in tbe Columbia Register of last week heads his article “ Mayor Sale, an avowed plotter,’' and then says that in a per- lists, 13,500,000 Roman CatboUcs, 10, sonal interview with Mr. Sale informed j 000,000 Presbyterians, 8,000,000 Bap- blm that he would abide the decision Usts, and 7,000,000 CoogregailonallsLi. was called, and under tbe circumstan ces they were compelled to make an assignment and suspend operations. As tbe capital of the bank is so small and Its credit bos ncessarily been af fected, there is no probability of a re sumption of operations. Mr. Leng- uick states very poeltlvely that the assets of tbe bank are ample to pay every dollar of its liability, and that depositors need feel no uneasiness, The savings department, which is specially secured, will, be thinks, be able to pay every dollar of Its liability by the Hist of Jenuary next.

Trial JrancEjimiES.—An important point has been made by Mr. H. W. Rice, t>f tbe Lexington Bar, before the Court of Sessions in that county. Mr. Rice’s client bad been found guilty of petit larceny by a Trial Justice's Jury of six, and he appealed on the ground that the Constitution entitled every man to trial by a jury of twelve. The Circuit Judge sustained tbe appeal and It now goes to the Supreme Court. The law as It stands In the Revised Statutes is an attempt to mitigate the costs and other evils of the Jury sys tem, and It le to be hoped that It will hold, notwithstanding the acumen of Mr. Rice, and the learning of the Judge who sustained him. -a The deer departed—venison. Mr. Tliden’e fortune wae largely con cerned and hie honor directly concern- • ed; and suppose It had been thus left open to the Republicans to contend that Mr. Tllden was an accessory either before or after the fact of this conceal ment of evidence ?
