Galcra has done nobN. The charter
election was held yesterday, and the abo-
litionists were routed, horse, foot and
dragoon. They had nominated s. Is. Nj
nor, formerly sheriff, and thc Democrats
put up David Sheesa, as good a man, and
as true democrat rs can be found in that
or any other city. Miner was instrument
IA! in procuring the arreat of Mr. Sheean
and lodging him in one Of Lincoln's bas-
tiles, three years ago, and now Shcean
beats him by more than 200 majority.
whore the democrats succeeded last year
only by Is majority.
Glory enough for one day The home
of General Grant is heard from.
The democrats elected four out OF five
alderman, and did not succeed with the
fifth because they had no candidate in the
field.
The abolitionisis had just had the char
ter amended so as to suit their own pur-
poses, as they thought Marshal, collect
or, treasurer, &C., are now al elected by
the council The bitter this time is bitten.
From the Rock island Argus, sth.
At the election yesterday, the following
officers were chosen, all being democrats

This's u. glorious result. Mr. Davon-
port gets larger vote than he received
last year, and the aggregate vote cast is
largcr. This is MI. Davenports fifth
election-yery good evidence that the
people approve his course.
The election of Mr. Buford is an event
of which he may well be proud, consider
ing that the shoddy paper and shoddy
peoplc resorted to the most outrageous,

him, and that his opponent was highly

From Washington.

New York, Aug. l3.--The 'Herald's
Washington special says: In compliance
with recent order of the Navy Depart
ment, all the sailors who recently were at
tached to the vessels at the yards, and
whose terms of enlistment were not nearly
out, have been granted furlough tor two
weeks, to report at the end of that time at
any navy yard or station they may select.
About 200 have, under this order, been paid
and sent off recently.
!, 1t is reported that Commissioner Halo
way, of the Patent Office, has expressed his
intention of leaving the Interior Depart
ment the latter part of the coming week,
whetherIhis successor be appointed or not.
The new appointment has been in limbo
for several weeks, and apparently is no
nearer consummation than it was imme-

upon all sections. A large number of those
who have returned are Northern settlers,
who were driven out in the first year OF
the war and who are aiding very materially
in spreading loyal sentiments Building
and farming is going on extensively, and

Another Order in Relation TO

y New YORK, Aug. 13.4The Herald's spe-
cial says: Brig Gen. Van Wick, COM
manding the military district of Western
South Carolina, has issued general order
from Newberry in that, State, dated July
15, which was called out by the perpetra-
tion of continued violation and abuses of
the freedmen, The offenders in the more
violent of these, outrages are now in Jail
awaiting their trial. The parties arrested
claim clause in 9heir contracts with i'll
treated blacks, which permitted the appli-
cation OF the lash in certain cases, and
which had been introduced with the per-
mission of the local commandant was re-
garded by them as full permission to inflict
such punishment upon their employees as
to them seemed proper. The commandant
in, question, is, by the terms of the above
order, severely rebuked and to be signally
punished for permitting the insertion of a
clause so repngnant to the principles upon
which the freedmen's system is founded. %
The misguided and stubborn planters who
are trying to embarrass the successful ap-
plication of the negro labor system are
warned, in direct terms, by the above order,
that this policy is short sighted and self-in-
furious, and the Objectionable clause for the
punishment Of freedmen Is rescinded from
all contracts into which it has been in
serted. WI Il CiG hasH4h,L ~ IVA

General Robert Il. Lee.

New YORK, Aug. 13.-The Herald's Rich
mond correspondence says: The reports
in the Northern papers bearing upon the
movements of Gen. Robt. E.. Lee are wholly
erroneous. Six weeks or more ago General
Lee left this city and proceeded to Carters-
vile, Buckingham county, in this State,
on the south side of the James river,
forty miles from Richmond, where he
is living in the utmost seclusion,
scarcely answering the, myriads of letters
addressed to him. He resides in small but
not inelegant cottage, the property of Mrs.
Cox, adjacent and belonging to which are
recreation in cultivating. Gen. Lee is un-
usually retired in his seclusion, and it is
probable he will rarely if ever emerge

It's well said that "the main element in

From New Orleans.

New YORK, Aug. 12.-The Herald's New
Orleans correspondence says: A continu.
alton Of lawlessness is reported in portions
of Texas, bordering on the Rio Grande.
Bands Of thieves infest the country, driving
off stock and stealing whatever they think
worth laying hands on. The arrival of the
two divisions of national cavalry, moving
across the State from Louisiana, was anx-
iously awaited. Gen. Weitzel, command
ing the 25th army corps, has issued an or
der stating that it is probable the command
will remain for some time in Texas, and
urging on his officers the utmost vigilance
in the work of improving the corps and
bringing 1t to the highest point of perfec-
ton. '17 ''tH
2 Gen. Candy, commanding in Louisiana,
has addressed an important communication
to Gov. Wells, of that State, requesting
him to warn loyal civil officers against at
tempting to enforce any police laws for the
regulation of negroes, which are in conflict
with the act establishing the Freedmen's
Bureau, to the agents of which the super
vision of these matters exclusively pertain.

The DRY Goods Market.

New YORK, Aug. l2.-The trade of the
week has been moderately active, with
out any important changes In values. The
partial stringency of money has checked
the tendency to speculation In some lines
of goods, and has so far proved an element
of weakness in prices. The Southern de-
mand Is becoming gradually more impor-
tant, and Is likely to take off the market
quite an important amount OF goods-before
the close of the season. Jobbers are oper-
ating with caution. With respect to cotton
goods they profess to see no prospect of
scarcity, and think the supply of cotton
may possibly prove large enough to pro-
duce a decline In prices Of goods. The
trade in wOolens is very active and prices
are generally very satisfactory to manufac-
tuTers. ~ '5r .a., H.rI1ii ggn
Brown sheetings are quiet, and stocks
are steadily augmenting. Heavy goods
are about one cent lower, The former
goods are choice and firmer. t--i@
In bleached shirtings the lower grades
are a shade lower, and the fine grades are
choice, the leading marks boing sold ahead
of production. ....JtI- IL n.:I
Prints are quiet at first hands. Among
the jobbers there has been an effort to re-
duce stocks by reduced prices, but the
agents still hold their goods firmly at old
figures.
Mouslin de LANES are very active. They
are the cheapest dress goods on the market
and the demand Is likely to keep close up
with the production, SO long as present
prices continue. -.I -M

HEAVY RoBBERY.-A discharged soldier

for there is the place where thieves and

soldiers are almost nightly deprived of their
hard earnings by adroit villains, who gen.
orally manage to escape detection.
