I~norNp1AgtEs IN CHARLEsToN.-Recently
Two or three fires occurred in Charleston,
and circumstances are such 40 TO make IT evt.
dent that Il gang Of incendraries and burglars
are at their vilIanous work there.
A destructive fire occurred on the night Of
Sunday, the IS uit.
The Courier Of Tuesday, the 9Th, in al
luding TO this fire, "a ys -
"The two corner stores are not as Tnucf1
injured ss VIC supposed, but the three middle
teuements are completely burnt out leaving
nothing but the bare walls. We learn that
$4,000 each was insured on The stores , that
Mr.. Jones was insured for $4,000, and
Mcssrs. Burcktpeyer and Lapneau $4,000
each, all in the Insurance and Trust Coiupa-
ny in this city, except $4,000 by Mr.. Jones,
which in the Augusta Banking and insurance
Company. Mr.. B~urckmeyer's loss, over and
above his insurance, is estimated at form &c.
0G0 to $1,000, and both the other gentlemen
will, we learn, be losers. Mr.. B~urekmeyer. s.
books were all lost, with the exception of biz
sales book, which was discovered yesterday,
and will, We are happy to learn, greatly ia
ciIItate him in arranging his buiness."
About the same hour this fire occurred, an
attempt was made 10 fire the carpet store Of
Mcssrs. Lambert g. Brothers, in King street,
which was fortunately discovered in time to
Illustrate the design OF the incendiary.
On the same night, the counting house Of
Messrs. Herckenrath g. Lowndes, on Hamil-
ton g. Co.'S wharf, was entered by burglars,
the desks and drawers broken open, and an
unsuccessful demonstration made on their
iron chest. The villains had their pains, as
they obtained no booty.

nique, 1896 Joe, 374, Clarissa, $50 lbs. The
same hands, with two others, picked, another
day. 2ls6 lbs.
The overseer offers to bet 500, that he can
selecttwenty hands on the Doctors plantation,

have nothing very new important to commu.
nicate to-day. The exciteasnt on Tie subject ar
our currency still continues, and shows itself in
still greater depreciation oil the currency. That
which is bankable is now selling at a discount of
from 8 to lOper cent for specie. The Relief issues
are al a discount ON this deprecated currency of
from Toto 70 per cent; and in fact many Of the
brokers' refuse to buy them at ALL This arises from
the fact that thebanks will receive none but those
issued by the city banks; and the banks refuse them
in expectation of the passage Of the immediate Re-
sumption Bill now pending in the Legislature This
Bill it is expected passed finally yesterday in the
Assembly.
Some two or three of our Banks, among them the
Bank OF North America, have to-day followed the
course of the Commercial and Western Banks in
refusing toreceive deposltes, except to q very Ii.
mited amount. Under this course Of policy thew
manage to throw out all such paper as they consi-
der most dangerous. OF this character 1 noticed
they seemed to consider the issues of the Bank of
Penn Township-for they were returned to the de-.
positor. with q few others, on the plea that the
Bank could not take so large deposite.
The business al the Stock board was rather
large, at farthe. decline in prices. State Elves
were heavy at 30, decline Of 81, and left off al
49a bid; this in currency too, which is equal to
about - in New York funds. Almost all stocks
were down. The notes Of Girard Bank were some
two to three per cent worse than yesterday. Penn
sylvania and United States Bank notes, were with
out much, if any change.
The statement of the Pennsylvania Bank was
published this morning accompanied with long
letter from the President Of the Bank to the Bank
attempting to account for the failure, and excuse
the officers OF the Bank for using the States mo-
hey, by which the holders of stock are suffering
for their interest," and the faith of the State s tar
nished forever You will see it,
