WASHINGTON, Oct % The United States
District Court Of South Carolina has made
an order for the restriction of the ketch
Brothers to the claimants thereof.
The Court eaid that the cargo, crew ard
destination are the circumstances chithy
relied upon to prove an alleged violation Of
the laws prohibiting the African slave trade.
1t may be that these are sufficient to excite
suspicion. but they do not produce tha,
conviction OF guilty purpose; they do not
leave a reasonable doubt as to the object
which must precede and support decree
Of condemnation and forfeiture.
Applications are frequently made to the
President for Midshi pinans appointments.
Some friends Of the applicants ccme from a
considerable distance to urge their elaine.

1nE NEW pier which has been in
course Of erection ty the Bridge Company,
will probably \. inish d to day. The work
appears to have been thoroughly executed
the stones having been accurately fitted
and laid in hydraulic cement. The new
pier will be much Lar ger than the old one,
and will in every way he its superior. All

been placed in the river during it's construc-

more rendered free from lumber, fiat boats,
etc. The contractors, Messrs Reynolds d
,:aulpangh, will receive for this JOB about
$4,000, which. taken in connection with
the material, will bring the cost of the pier
up 10 about so, 900. No delays or acci-

the work, which is q good omen for the

KUNAwAY-A span Of horses at

down Brady street yesterday morning.
causing everything they met to scatter

times and became considerably tangled, but
was finally freed from the horses by the lib

The GAS QUESTION. cores
pondent in yesterdays paper makes some
very pertinent enquiries regarding the light
ing our streets these long winter evenings.
We think our correspondents views are Just
right on this subject, and we go our whole
length for lighting the.lamps. The erenimg
trade Of our city is large, and if our street
lamps were lighted it would be increased
ten fold. Strangers visiting our city are at
a loss to understand why the lamps are not
lighted in Davenport, when just across the
river, in town rot more than half our size,
every corner is iluu mated with brilliant
light. We thought the Council would take
some decided steps regarding the matter
at its last meeting, but they entirely ig-
