ATrERr AT BuRaIAnr.-some daring fellow
made an attempt on last Sunday night to enter the
store Of Mr.. FREDER1oR CARsrEN, at Rikersvile, by
door. and would have suceeeded but that his dogs
were sleeping IN the apartment and gave tho
ala.m, which caused the robbers to make their
escape before Mr. O. could arrive and either secure

PEDEsgR1AN1sA.-Mr. JAcK SHEPARD, who has
u already established character as determined
pedestrian, row proposes to undertake the unex-

walking feat Of this description is comparatively
unknown to Charleston. Seme noted pedestrians
was never done for wager, Or as buajpees trans
acon; that has been exclusively left t6tke fertile
and untring muscles of our Northern brethren.
Nut FOB THE RAD1cAIs.-The Grand Jury Of
the United States Court in this city have found a
terfet gold coin among ignorant persons and freed
which decided the finding, was a freedman's. This"
was presented to Jury, the majority Of whom were
and attention which the laws both of the United
States and Of the State require. If the .sIndepend
ent Missionary" )" and other negrophiists who ran
sack their brains aud call on thor magnations for
facts, would only take calm view of matters,
they would that the laws of South Carolina are
as rigidly enforced as those of Massachusetts, and
that the freedman enjoys privileges here that are
not allowed even in the Hub" Of the Union.
TIE STREET RAnwAY.-The energetic proprie-
double track in Rutledge street, from Wentworth
to Calhoun. They Will also establish several addi-
tional turn-outs in Wentworth street. This will
facilitate the travel on that route to great ex-
tent, and obviate the difficulty that has heretofore
is little doubt thnt with the increase Of travel the
Company will run double line throughout But

Tor double track, but it has been clearly estab-
lshed that the tracks do not Interfere with the
street cars. The Company has already giveE SO
much satisfaction to the community that any i'm
provements or alterations that they propose will
assuredly meet with the hearty approval Of our
citizens. ..GFI t7F.4,. 5$3t Y.
MORE RAnRoADs.-As new and important mil
road extension is talked Of. The lines Of railroad
from Norfolk and Richmond South we under
stand, want to extend the Wilmington and Man
chester Railroad southwest to Millen; or, to e1-
press it more definitely they wish to use the South
Caroline Railroad to Branchville, and thence cut
thus securing an independent passenger W train R to
Macon Columbus and Central Alabama.

ing pushed forward rapidly, and by ne1t fall it is
hoped the S cas- !. WI ~ be rqnaing6t to Aedgeyie,
the protector Of this important Connection for
Charleston, is earnestly at work, we are glad to
learn; and We think We may reasonably hope to
have some Macon cotton our wharves before
1885, shall have finished it's course. 't7
Qua Qu1rr CrrY.-The most Joyous holidays Of
the year have passed; and while we look with
alaazemen; at the records Of crime committed in
some other places during this period, when many
allow themselves too free license for indulgence.
we must really. congratulate our people on the few
excuses which have occurred, and on the general
TRANQUILITY which has pervsded our city. At no
{rom disturbances Of ali kinds, ia and dat at no e TIME
have the nights been quieter, or the streets moro
6ree from the midnight clsmor Of the noisy crowd

ports Of the Mayors Court, the cases in which are
