BROWN & Co.'S WHARvEs.-This valuable property
composed of two pier heads, and which is so CEN
trally and conveniently located for business mas
for some time past, been IN he hands OF the wharf
builders, and the South pier which is very broad

the war this property was under the efficient man

STREET, of the house Of STREET Bro. Il Co. Inc
tact displayed in its management has secured y .
full share of traffic; and the wharves generally
present lively and business-like appearance.
THE WEATHER.-A sorry set Of rueful visages
was turned skyward yesterday but no ray OF hope
cleaned out from the leaden clouds The clerk OF
the weather had evidently changed the pro-
gramme, and many church-goers were reluctantly
compelled to remain at home. rainy Sunday Is
always depressing. The love OF bonnet cannot
be admired, and the pleasure OF wearing sunday
go connecting clothes is gone. Old Piuvlus ls no
respecter of persons, and those whose duties call
them abroad are glad to escape from his fury by
taking refuge in street car In city like
Charleston, a rainy Sunday has more than the
usual solemn stiffness connected with the holy
day. The streets are comparatively deserted, ana
the hotels have only few stragglers who try
to kill time, whils t!e slim attendance at the
churches shows that there are not many believers
in the cid proverb that "a Sunday rain cannot
kill"
TICKET -MAKERs.-The time for the election OF
delegates to the Military-Law Convention is ap-
preaching, and the ticket-makers are already
busily at work. correspondent has sent us

Spoils ticket" the second is the Radical ticket,
the third is the "Citizens ticket" and the fourth

OUR STEAMSHIP LNEs.-The steamship is fast
taking possession OF the traffic on the ocean, and,
in accordance with this tendency, the numbers
plying from the various Northern ports to this
point are constantly increasing. We have at pre-
sent three regular lines to New York (; the first
composed Of the steamships Champion and Man.

The FREEDMENs' SAVINGS AND TRUST COMPANY.
The Freedmen of Charleston have accepted the
responsibilities of the situation in far better
spirit than their brethren in other cities. They
have gone to work with will, and have shown a
praiseworthy desire to better their condition in
life Politics have not affected their brains to any
great extent, and, though fond of attending publ,
meetings, there are but few who neglect their
work for this purpose. The sudden change from
slavery to freedom has been made, and Charles
ton is STILL perhaps, the most orderly city in the
United States The friends Of the negro, the true
philanthropists, established during the war a
savings institution, where the freedmen could de-
posit their earnings. This was located at Wash
ington, with twenty branch Offices in various parts
of the country, and though in operation but few
years, has already proved success. 1t has in
duced the negro to be provident and economical
and his savings have often amounted to a consid-
cradle sum. In the monthly statement of this in
stitution it appears that the Charleston branch in
State street has received $22 094 10 deposits du
ring the month of September. This ia the largest
amount received ct any ofice, and speaks we'll for
the thrift and industry of our colored people.
A NEW PAVEMENT FOR EAST BAY.-The Commit
tee on Streets have at last succeeded in securing
pavement for portion of East Bay that will, we
think, give general satisfaction. The City En-
gineer was engaged on Saturday in having the
sidewalk on the East side Of this street, between
Market and Cumberland streets graded for coat
