LOCAL MATTERS.

We are continually receiving communications on
political and other matters from persons who do
not attach their proper to the articles sent
and we take this occasion OF repeating that nothing
can be published in TIE DAILY NEWS without
being indorsed by some responsible individual
The MILITARY RECONSTRUCTION BnL.-As will
be seen from General Orders No. 27, Headquarters
Department of the South, the Military Reconstruc-
tion Bill becomes law from this date in the Sc
cond Military District, comprising the late States
ofNorth and South Carolina" :
EQUITY SA1Es.-The attention of our readers is
invited to the large sale Of real estate to be made
this day by JAMES ". GRAY, Esq, under the order
of the Court Of Equity, in the case of PARRY os.
rodgers. The property is eigibly located, and
many OF the residences are convenient and sulta-
bic for small families.
At the same time and place will also be sold q
plantation situate in st. Stephens Parish Charles
ton District.
We CALL attention. to the sale of real estate to
take place by Mr.. 3. MCCALL. This comprises not
only fine farming property, but also valuable city
residences. It is seldom that advantages offer for
making such eligible Investments, and the mere
announcement OF the sale will alone draw crowd
of buyers. The real estate to be sold comprises
both city and country property Of great value, and
better opportunity to invest spare greenbaoks
seldom presents itself.
VALUABLE REAL ESTATE SALE.-Messrs LE1ToH
& BRUINS will sell to-day three lots on Meeting
street, which should command the attention OF
capitalists. These lots are known as REYNOLDS
lots, and were formerly covered by extensive build
ings. Though now but the soil remains, yet the
facilities for making it profitable are still the same,
and as this property is gradually being improved,
it will so be covered with buildings. The sale is
peremptory, and those who wish to invest should
not fail to attend.
TIE MA1Ls.-We are again under the necessity
of informing our readers that there was no North
ern mail whatever yesterday evening. Alleged
cause, failure to make connection. The Western
mails also have been irregular for some days,
many Of the bridges being down in consequence Of
the late unprecedented feshets: If The NEWS
this morning presents less than it's usual variety
Of correspondence, news summary, and miscella-
neouB reading matter, our readers win know it is
through no fault of OUTS. sa'.5 - s:i..s:; "a
FINE FuRN1TURE.-It will be seen, by reference
to our advertising columns, that Mr.. r. WH1rE,
long known by his fair dealings in King street and
recently in Meeting street, near the Charleston
Hotel has removed his furniture .warerooms to
the very spacious and public location corner of,
Wentworth and Nesting streets, where he has
room and light to display one Of the finest and
best made assortments Of furniture to be found III
this city. This change was required by his in
creasing trade, and he respectfully invites his old
friends to hunt him uu. We cordially commend
him to the public. ,-a,..s-

TIE PALMETTO hoN WoRKs.-This Foundry, at
the head Of Union Wharves, was sold yesterday, by
Messrs. IErrcH & BRuNs, for :the>.sun of s225Os
This will be deemed q mere sacrifice; but if the
circumstances of the times, and the hesitancy to
make any large real estate speculation is consider
cd, the discrepancy viii not appear so large Few
wish to make any large Investments and sales ofany
magnitude are seldom we'll attended, and the bids
suffer from the want Of competition. It is seldom
that property Like the Palmetto Iron Works is
offered for sale, and the small price realized proves
that the community unwilling to invest during
the present political crisis: =
TIE GHAND COMBINATION Show Coming events
are said to cast their shadows before them, but |
few have such varied shadows as M1Kg L1ppMAN's
Circus. His posters have all the colors of the
rainbow, and are painted With some pretensions
to artistic skin. The recently erected fence in
fo Of the theatre lot is covered with these qaudy
designs, snd judging from the crowds that stare
at it hourly, we predict large attendance to the
circus:s - - :.-3- - :, = :. u.

MAYORS CoURT, March 13.-Two ineal descen-
dants of the old Doges tried the doge game on the
Mayor, and swore that they had not peddled goods
without license After long controversy in bad
English and worse italian, the accused parties
were sentanced to pay the usual fine Of $40, and
cautioned how they trespassed in the future.
An individual who had occupied more of the
street than was allowed. and who had snored at |
the officials, was arrested for his impofteness, and
was charged IS for his want Of etiquette.
A man in blue, who swore that he was a dis |
charged soldier and had not borrowed the clothes,
was up for Aourishing pistol in peaceful Sec
tons. Like o lamb before his shearers he spoke
not a word, and was fined 50 for his silence
Two hotel runners became entankled in dead
" bro, and the Mayor found that The only way to
settle the controversy was to fine each g..
Two very dminutiva darkes, who rejoiced III the |
names Of Seabrook Mills and Edward Seabrook,
were picked up astray. They we're unlike the
babes in the wood, both on account Of their color
and for the want Of leaves, and were turned over
to the Provost Marshal who VIII furnish them with
quarters until they csn locate their belongings:

TIE SRNGERBUNDs--!We had the pleasures few +
evenings since Of attending the first regular
dramatic entertainment Of this club. When we first
heard that they had selected Lenorew we confess We
were much surprised, for a classic drama like this
of HoLrE1 seemed an undertaking somewhat too
ambitious for so young a dramatic association.
But when we learned that the amateurs, Impress
ed with the difficulty Of the task before them, had
gone to work in good earnest and properly prepar-
edthemselves for their respective roles and that the
scenery was arranged as well as circumstances
permitted, We went to the hall anticipating treat,
ana in this we were not disappointed
The play is one Of great interest-scenery, cos
