CLEANING BRIKs.-The Burnt District was orna-
mented during the greater portion of last year by
crowds Of busy freedmen who could be seen seated
in the shadow Of IN old wall industriousy engaged
in cleaning the burnt bricks and piling them neat
" in rows ready for uso. This employment was at
one time so common, and the number Of freedmen
80 numerous, that many persons imagined that
the day Of reconstruction had indeed arrived, aud
the raids made upon the old walls was only the be-
ginning Of the new era. Unfortunately their opn-
IONS were erroneous, and their dreams OF 'cloud-
capped towers and gorgeous palaces" have faded
and left only tho rack behind. Tho Industrious
freedmen dropped off one by enc, and, before the
results of their work could be seen and apprecia-
ted. there was scarcely laborer left, though the
harvest was still abundant.
The reason for this wholesale descrtion is IN
known, the stringency Of the times and the
scarcity of labor may have been the cause, but it
is more than probable that the political agtations
produced by the Radicals of Congress has stopped
the work and caused tho apathy that has apparent
ly affected both the laborer and his employer. A
vigorous onslaught on the ruins would have soon
levelled them to the ground, and if no other good
result h .d followed, it would have opened the city
to the seabreeze, and BY removing the u1islShtly
piles, have afforded better pasture to the COWS
than they now possess. At present the burnt dis
trict is an eye sore to the community but it is moi
vet too late TO improve it, and wo are pleased to
notice that some persons haze tho energy to kcc:
up the work of restoration.
During the past few days solitary froedma,
might have beon discerued in tho vicinity Of tho
old Apprentices Library sitting OH pile Of bricks
like MAR1Us ut the ruins Of Carthage, but: m.likt
him, the African of our day was not mcditating
lut industriously hammcring away at tie ohsti
nate mortar. s'One swallow does not make 3 sum
mer," but that solitary freedman Is, we hope
the advance guard Of mighty host, who arnc'
with pick and trowel, will make havoc among th'
.knins that will soon number them among th'
things that were. So mote it be.

MELANCHOLY AccDENr.-We learn from letter
received in this city Of melancholy accident that
occurred in the town of Anderson, S. C. On Fri
day last, Miss SARAH RUrLEDoE, q daughter of the
lete JOIN RUEIEDaE, Esq, left hor home in Alacr-
Ton to take walk, purposing to join her mother
and sister, who had preceded her. Not returning
tt tho customary hour her friends became alarmed
an1 went in search Of her, but without success,
md it was not until tho Loxt day that her body was
discovered in Rocky river. II was supposed that
having taken the wrong path she had lost her foot
ing and fallen in the river and no one boing near to
rescue her had pclished.

THE UNION STATE CONVENTION AGAIN.-The dcc-
gates to this Convention met again YESTERDAY
morning at the African Methodist Church in Cal
houn street, and were at once engaged in trying
to rescind tho work done the day before. State
Central Committee had been appointed, but it was
found that some were distasteful on account OF
their obnoxious white color, and though perfectly
willing to afiliato as man and brother, it was
not considered tho correct thing, and motion
was made to reconsider. This created q windy
discussion anong the members, in which their
knowledge of parliamentary tactics was conspicu-
GUS, the chair ruling that motion to lay Oh tho
table was out of order. Nothing of any interest to
the community was transacted, beyond q rcsolu-
| ton to adjourn, to meet in Columbia in July.
The Convention has SO far been an cvidclt
izzle, as the State at large is entirely unrcpre-
sented, and the few in session aro principally
from one section of the country. This would tend
to cause one-sided legislation, and the proposed
adjournment was at once agreed to. This Conven-
ton is sustained and supported by money advanced
from the Republican Congressional Committee.
and funds have been furnished to pay the dele
gates, and to try if possible to create Radical
party in South Carolina. These dodges show to
the world that they are not SO sure of tho South
as was exultingly stated in Congress, and the
stump speakers, who have been sent out TO ven
tlate their noisome doctrines in the unreconstruct-
ed States, are the forlorn hope OF tho party, who
think, to use tho words Of one of their own
rrltors, 'that they can slime over tho South, and
then swallow it." Time will show them their mis-
take.

RoBRERY-Robberies have been so frequent
lately, that scarcely night passes without some
attempt beiGg made to break into store or house.
On Wednesday night the storo of Mr.. w. B. BURKE
in Chalmers street, was entered by some evil dis
posed persons, and robbed of fine coat, two
canaries and cages and some smaller articles.
The robbers gained access to the building by lift
ing one of the shutters from its fastenings, and
taking out the sash. Mr.. BURKE had just opened
his establishment as a produce store, and the
thieves anticipated heavy haul but were fortu-
pately mistaken. The case is now in tho hands of
the detectives, who will soon bring tho miscreants

the first case taken up was DR.. JAMES WHALEY rs.
ELLIS vENS1Na. 3. J. WHITLEY, Esq, appeared fol
the plaintiff. THEo. G. BARKER, Esq, for the dc.
fcndsnt. This case was an action brought by DR..
WHALEY for loss sustained from worthless cotton
seed purchased from Mr.. TESSIHG. He claimed
that the seed was sold without a guarantee as to
it's character. He had planted the seed and had
watched it from its early growth to maturity and
was satisfied of its worthlcssness. Mr.. VESNING
had been purchasing seed from every quarter in
order to sell it again, and could say nothing about
its origin or purity.
Mr. yENNNG's statement was that the plaintiff
had planted the seed and did not inform him that
there was any defect until six weeks or two months
after planting, and then only through his attorney.
The plaintiff had moreover purchased seed from
other parties. which was planted the same time.
and without any notification. A number OF wit
nesses were examined and the case was argued on
both sides with great ability. Tho jury retired,
and after long absence, brought in sealed vcr-
dict.
Besides this case, no general business Of impor-
tance Was done.
DEGREES were rendered in certain civil suits and
executions renewed, when tho Court adjourned.

BON E. PRoTHRo, Of Aikon S. c., for violation OF
the Internal Revenue laws as dstiller, was taken
up. Major D. T. CoRBIN, District Attorney, for
the prosecution and G. H. SnloNToN, Esq, for tho
defence. A number of witnesses were examined
for both prosecution and defence, and tho dcfend-
ant being placed on tho stand, denied his guilt in
toto.
The case was peculiar one, and the testimony
very conflicting. Tho principle witness for the
prosecution being MIR. ROBERT II. LOTION, who
was indicted for tho same offence, but who turncd
States evidence. His allegations were not sup
ported by facts, and were frequently on'radcted
by other witnesses. His statement was that Mr.
PnorHRo owned tho still and grounds, and that he
paid nominal rent Of SIS per month for the use
Of them. Mr.. P. was in copartnership in the dis
tllery, receiving three-fourths OF the profits, and
had frequently run the still in his absence.
Mr. PRoTuRo acknowledged having sold whiskey
but denied boing connected with tho still. Able
arguments were delived both by the prosecution
and the defence, but tho character OF the prose-
cutting witness had evidently weakened his testi-
timony, and verdict of Not Guilty was ren-
dered.

Maine Election,
UNION MAJORITY 10000.

UNION MAJORITY 10000.
The Annual election in Maine took
place on Monday, and the Union party
carried the State by some 10000 majority,
which is large falling off from last year
when the union majority was $4,000. The
aggregate vote of the State is some 10000
less than last year, and the majority party
as usual, lose the most on light vote.
For instance in Portland the vote last
year was over 1000, this year it is little
over $500, making an aggregate falling off
of 700. In some places, however, the
vote is nearly or quite as heavy as last
year, being brought out on the liquor law
and which made democratic gain. The
democratic party having entirely lost their
national character, have nothing left but
these local feuds, and must of necessity
make the most of them in those States
where they have no other chance of sue
cess. They therefore drop all national
issues and appeal entirely to some local
rum or cold water interest, and pick up
the floating vote, and as soon as election is
over claim il as an expression on rational
politics. The union majorities in Maine,
however, have always varied from 6,ooo
to 10000 ever since the organization Of
tho Union Republican party in that State.
and the majority this year is nearly up to
the average after all, and the heat of the
presidential election next year will bring
out the full union vote.

Bfllaus Galls Giules,
esy- The most important political ever

eS' The most important political event
of the week is the Amnesty Proclamation
Of the President, which il is claimed by
some, is intended to enfranchise certain
class of those engaged in the rebellion,
which the law of Congress had disfran-
chised. The object it is claimed is of
course to vote down the loyal whites and
blacks, in the elections to be held in the
Southern states the coming season. We
are not quite prepared 10 believe all this
yet, but if it proves true, the difference
between the President and Gen. Grant
will be wider, while as between him and
Congress the war will be more bitter than
ever and impeachment will be the order.
This last element has gained much since
the removal of Stanton and Sheridan, and
it is announced that Representative
Spaulding of Ohio, and Senator Fessen-
den OF Maine, so-called conservative re-
publicans, now both favor impeachment,
but as there is no truth in about nine-
tenths of the political reports from Wash
ington, it may be well to wait more au-
thentic information. One thing may be
set down as pretty certain, that there will
be no political peace or quiet for the
present.

CALIFORNIA ELEcTIoN.-The Union
party of California were badly defeated
in their State election last week, by some
5000 to 10000 majority, owing to foolish
quarrels and divisions among themselves.
Indeed there was no reason to expect sue

The democratic candidate for governor, who
himself was also a supporter of and
voted FOR Lincoln, and formerly an
active member of the republican party,
and highly esteemed citizen. This por-
ton Of the old republicans charge upon
the other that they have become corrupt
and claim that in the late election they
have administered to them only such a
lesson rs they deserve. As to the merits
of this quarrel we are of course to far off
to decide. They say they shall unite next
month and elect their Judiciary ticket, but
a party SO thoroughly demoralized can
hardly rally to successes in one short
month, and it is more likely to require the
Presidential election to do that BY this
last election the Union party lose a U. S.
Senator, but as they have gained one in
in Tennessee, they lose nothing in the ag-
gregate.
