Ex-GovERNoR LOWE, OF MARYLANp.-We have
pleasure in calling the attention Of readers to
the professional card of this gentleman published
in our columns to-day. 1t will be remembered
that GOV. LOWE was one Of the most ardent sup
porters and admirers Of tho South during the re-
cent war; Holding high position in Maryland, he
used his influence aud energies in behalf of the
lost cause, and now, after losing all but health
and honor in support of the political principles Of
his life and the rights of his native State, he has
finally located in the city Of New York, where he
can, without prescription, enjoy the high social
and legal position he so Justly merits. He is
lawyer of most extraordinary ability, and both
practical and learned, and we commend him most
heartily to those Of our readers who may have
occasion for legal services in New York.
REMARKABLE CASE OF LoNaEv1TY.-A correspon-
dent curious in such matters, informs us that,
after a long and tedious computation, he has as
certained the fact that the united ages Of the
Board Of Directors OF the South Carolina Rail
road Company ;s just one thousand gears, giving
to every individual Director the very handsome
average of sixty-six years and eight months. Our
correspondent, thinking that others would be as
much interested in this piece OF statistical infor-
nation as himself desires to publish it for the
benefit Of science. This we cheerfuly do; but we
cannot agree with him in the inference he draws
from this wonderful instance Of longevity. What
can our statistical friend be thinking about when
he writes: "After fifty, men dlDdys decline in
vigor, think and act more slowly, and give gene
raj evidence Of feebleness, both Of body and Of
mind" He is certainly mistaken; and in proof we
only need adduce this same millenna1 Direction.
Who shall say that the management Of tho South
Carolina Railroad Company exhibits any symptoms
'sof feebleness, either of body or Of mind?"
ARREST OF r. c. G1LcHHrsT Eso.-We under
stand that r. @. GILoHRIsT, Esq, prominent
member of the Charleston Bar, was arrested and
incarcerated on Saturday evening last, under the
following circumstances Two highly respectable
colored men called on Mr.. GILoHR1sT on Saturday
morning, and informed him that they had every
reason to know that there would be concerted
attack made on the police in the market on that
night by negro soldiers and vagabond freedmen.
At the same time they insisted that Mr.. G1LoHR1s1
should not diyulge their names, and he promised
accordingly.
As in duty bound, Mr. GnoHRIsr gave the in.
formation thus derived to the Mayor of the city
and he in turn, informed the military authorities
These last sent for Mr.. G1IonnIsT, and demanded
the names OF his informers. These he declined tc
give, believing himself in honor bound to KEEP
them secret He was then dismissed, but sum
moned again at 0 P. NJ, and, on his again refus
ing to give up the names Of his informers, he wal
thrown into Jail, where he WAS kept until late yes
terday afternoon, when he was released at tht
instance of Ex-Governor MAaRATH.
These are the facts as we heard them, but W,
will not vouch for their exact correctness.
PRovosT CoURT.-The smallness Of the docket al
| lowed the Court to celebrate Saturday as q hal
| holiday.
