RETURN DAY-Members OF the Bar will bear in
mind that tomorrow (saturday) is Return Day
for the juno term Of the Court Of Common Pleas.
CHANGE OF SoHEDuLE.-We call the attention Of
our readers to the change of schedule on the
Northeastern and tCheraw and Darlington Rail-
roads. It is getting back to the old time. BY this
new arrangement we shall have the Northern
mail by twelve O'Clock, six hours earlier than at
present. ,.'iH ..ui t ,....s.. ,a,. -.r ~ e.
TIE TApLKAux OF PARADISE Losr.-To-morrow
night our citizens are to be regaied with a first
view OF the celebrated works of art. There has
always been great taste for the fine arts in our
city, and good Panorama has never failed to re-:
ceve its share of appreciation and, patronage.
From what we have heard,3Ye feel assured that
these ilustratfons 9of' MIjroh's Immortal poem
are superior to any ever produced.
TEhIpus FuarT.-We saw striking application,
few days ago, Of the poets reautiful ex pression
eve take no note or Time but by it's loss" a
clock was stolen; some time ago, from the Zion
Church sch6ol-roon,. was found in the hands Of a.
communicate, we have been told, was rein stated,
and again stolen. But for It's loss we should not
have known that Zion had clock, though we had
heard Of watch on her walls. We have a most
sad illustration Of the night side Of human nature
in the act Of this 'colored communicate; he (the
thief Of Time) was guilty OF procrastination, to
say the very least of it. He had doubtless heard
that delays are dangerous, 80 he took Time by the
forelock. This clock appears to be in good run
ming erder-is constantly going. We should ad.
wise MIR. VAN HORN to set watch on his clock, and
guard it; that is II he can catch up with it
again. NO easy matter, as time and tide wait for
no man.
a. w. SoHRoDER, Eso.-This. gentleman sew
cred his connection with tho Provost Court yes
terday, after having been connected with it since
it's organization, something over year. We sin
cerely regret this step on his part, and feel as
sured that the entire Bar Of Charleston concurs
with us. Mr.. soHRoDER had many qualifications
which peculiarly fitted him for the position; and
from close observation we can speak intelligently
as regards the manner in which he discharged his
arduous, responsible, and not unfrequently very
dissgreeable duties. From the very nature or the
circumstances that gave being to this Court, 1t
could not be expected to be viewed with favora-
BILE eye by our people, There are, moreover,
from the character OF it's organization, many OBJ
:; jectionable features connected with it. But only
= the narrow-minded will blame an agent for the
faults and blemishes Inherent in system.
Mr. SCHROEDER has a long experience as q mag
istrate and lawyer, enjoys the confidence Of the
community, and to his other qualifications adds
a thorough knowledge OF the negro character: We
could have wished that he had remained connect
cd with the Court during the brief period Of its
future. In returning to the bar he has our best
wishes for successful career and q lucrative
practice" '.'-s o.: ,,,..: ~ ,sis.,y

VERY UNsoLpIERLY CoNDucr.-On Saturday
morning, about half past O'Clock, party of four
colored soldiers IN. fnbers Of the i2sth Regiment
United States colored troops-visited the farm OF
o freeman by the name Of Rawlings, situated a
short distance south Of the city boundary, Upon
being spoKen to in reference to their trespassinp
on his premises, one OF the party "a corporaD re-
piled that he was anon-commissioned officer of the
United States army, and had q right to 90 where
he damn pleased. Rawlings said, "You cannot
go through this yard; there is the road" Upon
this the corporal left, but returned in half an
hour with an armed force Of about eighteen men,
bayonets fixed. Rawlings came out to meet them
1iuNluB boCuIcu uouole-DhTIel gun, ana when at
q distancs OF about fifty yards from his house the
corporal fred on him with pistol. Rawlings re-
turned the fire with his gun, wounding the corpo-
raj. The whole party then cred, when Rawlings
discharged the other barrel Of his gun, woundinp
another, He then ran across several farms, pur-
sued by this force, until he reached Noisette's,
when he fell, and they inflicted several bayonet
wounds upon him. They then retired, and re-.
turned in about ap hour to burn his dwelling.
Information having in the meantime, reached
the Provost Marshal, he dispatched q colored
guard (partiof the same 12sth Regiment), and
soon after himself repaired to the scene and had
the whole party arrested TIE house was not
burned by, these riotous soldiers, because they
learned that guard was on the way to the place.
Rawlings has always stood very high in the
community as an honest, respectable, industrious,
hard working man.--always peaceable. His chill.
dren have been well educated in Northern schools
, and we regret to learn that these, abarbarisns
used very gross and insulting language 10 his
daughters. A,...., ,r'. ~ .L.. .Is'a't'
We have frequently heard complaints from citi-
IONS about the conduct OF these troops in the
notwithstanding about tho farms, and engag.
ing in proniscuous pistol practice .on the public
highway, quite nnconcerned whether any one is
passing at the time or not. 'e.A 1Is"a ar %
