Tn FIRE PROOF BUnDnga.-This old building is
gradually loupg its dingy dungeon-ike appear
anoe and is being transformed into comparative
" light and airy structure. The Commissioners
Of Public Buildings have recently determined to
make several improvements in the basement, and
Mr.. JAS. II. EAsoN, member of the Board, has
already effected great change by removing the
heavy iron shutters, substituting light open work
iron frame. The new lattice work is in thorough
keeping with the building, and is vast improve
ment on the heavy unmansgesble shutters, whose
only Recommendation was that they were iron and
looked imposing.
The Fire Proof Building suffered severely during
the war, and everything valuable about it, inciu-
ding even the wooden framework Of the doors
and the flooring, was carried of after the evacua-
ton. In the impoverished condition of the coun-
try the work Of repairing and restoring the build
ing to it's former appearance was necessarily slow,
and the Board had to proceed in this undertaking
by degrees. The Offices on the first floor soon
found occupants, but it is only recently that any
application has been made for those in the base
ment. Anticipating this demand, Mr. EAsoN has
been engaged in remodelling those lower rooms
and making them habitable as Offices.
Two Of the ROOMS on Meeting street have ALREADY
been engaged by General WAGNER, the Conmis-
sioner Of European immigration, as his Office.
They are not yet completed, but cursory glance
is sufficient to show that they wall answer the pur
poses intended admirably.
The long corridor has been whitewashed in q
superior manner, and new easeing frames and
foorings furnished. When the windows have been
altered and the intended improvements completed
six light airy rooms will be formed that will be in
every respect adapted for lawers' Offices. The cen.
trail position Of the building, and its daily use by
the lawyers to examine records and other papers
make it especially suited for this purpose. The
propress Of the age has dissipated the idea thai
darkness and strength should be united, and it is
now found t, be the safest plan to make the nteri
orof building open to the public view, and thu
iron frame work on the windows will not only let IL
the light and air. but will prove an admirable
safeguard against robbers.

Ta1 srosn OF YRsrEBpAI.-May, The gentleat
1nildest month in the year, was metsmorphosed
Cd Monday night, Into . weeping, windy. Rusty
Nav. The skies lost their csrulean hue, the stars
hid behind the lowering clouds, sndswift descend
inx rain convinced the .belated passenger, that
tha windows Of heaven we're opened, and the plugs
loosened This change was very sudden, and al
though the weather was somewhat sultry the day
previous, few persons expected to see 30 fierce 9
demonstration made by the blustsring god. Old
Boreas had evidently been watching his opportu-
nifty, and succeeded In raising such gust that
ouiet cisterns awoke alarmed, thinking chat they
had mistaken the season, or that some conyulsion
Of nature had occurred. Limbs were torn from
trees, and in many instances the trees themselves
prostrated tilesand states blown from houses,
and fences prostrated. The old fence that partial
ly surrounds the new Custom House lot, was blown
down, but this will not be great loss, as;it was
neither ornamental or useful, and would soon have
been removed TO make the Intended Improvement
ON the street. On the water, the effects Of the
storm was more severely felt, and the. damage re-
sulting from it's violence and fury has probably
been felt along the line Of coast. In the harbor,
the waves were in violent commotion and on East
Battery the spray was thrown into the houses on
the opposite side. The change has been benef-
cial in cooling the atmosphere and in laying the
dust, which before was perfect nuisance, but if
the storm extended any distance in the interior,
wemsy expect to hear OF considerable damage
done to the growing crops.

CONVENTION OF CoLoRED MEN.-The preliminary
meeting of the State Convention Of tho Union Re-
publican Party was held at the Military hall last
night The attendance was not as large as on
previous occasion, and only portion Of the State
was represented. On motion OF r. G. DeLarge, K.
C. Gleaves, from Beaufort, was called upon to act
ss temporary Chairman. A Committee on Creden-
tials, consisting OF one from each State was ap-
pointed to examine the credentials OF tho dole
gates.
During their absence the chairman called for
parties to addresst the Convention, and Captain L.
]. MAoxEY, an ex- Confederate officer, but now OF
the Freedmsn's Bureau, responded seemingly for
the Republican party. His speech was . review OF
the acts Of the Legislature Of 1866 and denuncla-
tory Of Governor ORa. He was followed by Miss
Harper, q mullsto woman from Maryland, who is
on q lecturing tour through the South. Her
speech was able and well delivered, though somo-
what scriptural in its tone.
Other speakers followed, but the lateness OF the
hour compelled us to leave before the conclusion
of the meeting. The speakers and officers OF the
meeting Were not we'll versed in parliamentary
tactics, and many useless discussions we're caused
on this account. The basis Of representation ls
the same as In the House Of Representatives, and
the same ill-feelng between the up country and
low country was displayed.

is Inherent in every breast, and there are few en-
tertainments that are more acceptable to COM

the large audiences that attend the amateur con-
certs given in this city. The concert Of Thursday
night, will be in respect inferior to those that
have preceded it, but will be conducted by profess
sors Of known ability who will be assisted by the
best musical talent in the city. By referring to
the advertisement, it will be seen that the COM
mittee Of arrangements are gentlemen well known
in the business circles, and their names would alone
be sufficient guarantee for the performance
Marie May is the month for enjoyment, and we
feel co.Adent, that the anticipated concert will be
. success, The announcement that it would take
pl1ce, has slresdy caused futter in many breasts,
and snovercrowded house on Thursday night will
prove that neither the musical or charitable feel
ings Of the community are torpid. 9;ss =

Some time since Judge Chaffee purchased q
tract of about 1000 acres of land in the vicinity
Of Manhattan, Kansas, which is said to be one
of the finest farms in that fine State. Last week

er, Gaius, left TO take charge ofthis farm. The
Judge sent out, to stock this place, about $5,-
GOO worth of blooded stock, including his ina-
ported bull Clarendon, and twenty five other
shorthorns, together with very fine sheep.

will receive very valuable addition 10 i'm

voted a great deal of labor and pains 10 this
department of farm business, and the result
has been greatly advantageous to this county

country, of more than usual importance.
