A WELCOME FROM SAVANNAH IN ADVANCE
The Savannah Republican, aluding to the
promised visit of the vigilant and Washington
Fire Companies of this city, says:
We can assure not only the 'Vieilants, but
every other fremen's organization that may
honor our city with visit Cn the first OF May,
tbat no pains will be spared to render their
stay as pleasant and profitable as genuine South
ern hospitality and the bond of undylng friend
shin that exists between the two cities can
make il. It is The intention OF our gallant
fircmen, whose reputation for generosity and
tr1e magnanimty of character as civilians has
only been eeualled by their undaunted he
roism in battle as soldiers, to pay such homage
to their distinguished guests as will bent the
important occasion, and il the original pro
oramme is carried ou. we have no DOUBT IL
Will be the means Of filing the minds OF oil
who NAV accept their hospitalities en- the lst OF
Nav with delightful "reminiscences OF Savan-
nall and exalted opinions ofher protect0rs-our
bravo fremen. Should the weather prove aus
n;c;ons the arrangements that have already
been made, with others that are now being rap
idly perfected, warrant us in stating that the
disniav will be one Of the finest and most eX-
tensiye ever witnessed south OF Baltimore. We
nresu1ne our Charleston neighbors are too well
aware Of the character OF our hlemen to re-
onire Mandatory notice of them at our hands,;
Hence we shall content ourselves by stating
that they will, with the hearty cooperation OF
orr hest citizens, make this demonstration one
NOT only worthy in everyrespect of the unsullied
reputation of the Savannah Fire Department.
hnt such an ovation as will rebound to the
credit of the 'Forest City, Of the Empire

A DESPERATE ENCOUNTER IN NORTH CARO-
11NA.-Information has been received by tele-
graph from North Carolina that on Sunday
last desperate encounter occurred in Pitt
County, of that State, wherein two persons
we're killed and two badly wounded. 1t appears
that desperate named Carney or Kearney,
who, for many months, has evaded the civil
officers Of the law when they sought to arrest
him for the various crimes which he had COM
mitted, was finally tracked to his lair BY
United States officer and squad OF soldiers.
Evidently determined not to be taken alive,
Carney, with his son and son-in-law, blockaded
themselves in their house, and refused all
summons to surrender. On attempting to
break into the premises, the military posse
were fred upon; one of their number was kill
ed, and the officer commanding the squad
wounded. The fire was returned, and the
and his son-in-law killed, and the
An badly wounded.
&ese are the only particulars Of the affair
kceived. The event will no doubt be ex-
led, and made to appear at the North as
tion of the rebellious spirit of North
ABut we are assured that the arrest

that Carney was the terror Of the

Market Hours.

To the Editors of the Ners
In the name Of oil the housekeepers OF
Charleston, why must the market be closed at
nine o'clock in the morning, and everybody be
put to serious inconvenience? Do sanitary
precautions require it? Charleston, hereto
fore, never has suffered anything from keeping
the market open till ten, or even eleven, o'clock
during the hot season, and why the necessity
of 80 stringent regulation now9
Under the present system, every housekeeper
must be in the market when he or she should
be presiding at the breakfast table, or else in
cur an additional outlay in the shape OF an e1-
ira butler and his stealings.
Here am, dependent for my very existence
on good dinner and the smiles of the lady at
the head Of the table. Since Mayor Cogswen's
edict, have seldom had either. Just imagine
my condition, mental and physical, and also
that Of the lady Of the house she is utterly
distracted by the vain endeayor to accomplish
the almost impossible feat Of saying grace at
breakfast and getting in time to market to
order dinner. Without her presence breakfast
is tame affair, and without good dinner life
is Of no account.
Indignantly yours,
LFGARE-STREET.

MONEY! MONEY! MoNEYl-We sympathize
heartily with the proposition that has been
made, that the money which has accrued nom
the recent sale of the Charleston Savings In
.stitution should be divided among the deposit
tors of that company. We regard it as posi-
tive injury to the finances Of the city to lock
up so large an amount in bank which dare
not use one penny Of it, lest sudden call be
made for its redemption. We have no doubt
that ere this the treasurer Of the institution
has made an approximate estimate Of the
amount due each depositor and per
~centage of this issued to each depositor would
greatly tend to relieve the existing financial
pressure, besides opening new channels for
future investment. We have heard that the
amount realized from the sale is not much less
than frem thirty-two to thirty-ive per cent of
the original deposit. A payment Of ten or fif-
teen per cent. would be a great help to the
community, and We earnestly invite the atten-
ton of Master Tupper to the importance OF
the subject, the feasibility Of the plan, and the
public benefit which he has it in his power to
confer.

THE F1REMEN's CONTEST ENDED.
TIE POWER OF THE STEAMERS TESTED.
TIE PALMETTO WINS The CUP.

Al the conclusion o. the contest ON Monday
the nlayinr had noi been completed, and the
Marion. Washington and Young America were
to have tried their prowess Yesterday. AS the
Washington will shortly visit Savannah, and
the engine being in complete trim, it was
thought best to Withdraw, the day being eX-
tremely wet and disagreeable, and the distance
made bv the Palmetto very hard to beat. The
Marion and Young America were, therefore,
the only contestants, and, in spite of the heavy
rain, proceeded to the ground about P. d.,
and took their stations, the Marion leading of.
Notwithstanding wet and rain, the enthusiasm
that display of this description has always
produced could not be dampened, and the plat
form was lined with umbrella-clad individuals,
who seemed to think superauity OF water
one of the greatest enjoyments OF ilfe'
The windows in the neighboring houses
were also crowded with spectators, while the
firemen took the rain with the spirit OF young
ducks. The courthouse and the porch OF the
guardhouse had each their full quota OF drip
ping mortals. A head wind and the dense at
mosphere prevented the streams from beng
sent to any great distance. The Marion played
two hundred and four feet five inches, and the
Young America TWO hundred and fifteen feet
six and three-quarter inches. After the playing
was concluded and the distances measured, 1t
was seen that the Palmetto was again the
victor and would carry off the cup. This fact
was no sooner ascertained than rush was
made for the guardhouse porch, which was
soon crowded with steaming, motley mass OF
humanity. The little darkeys climbed to the
windows, and clinsing to the bars obtained
q birdseye view of the sce2e, but the less
fortunate reporters we're compelled to en-
dure the crush and confusion of the crowd.
passage having been cleared, Alderman Will
Lis, who acted throughout as one OF the judges,
awarded the silver cup to Mr. Hugh Ferguson,
President Of the Palmetto. The usual con-
gratulatory and responsive speeches were
made, after which the crowd slowly dispersed.
The drag ropes were manned, and the engines
and their moist attendants moved homewards.
Below we give the playing of the different
steamers this year and also that OF the last an
nual parade:

TIE ACCIDENT TO THE PHGNrx.

We have already alluded to the dam
age done this engine on the day OF the
parade. The engine had practice1 on the
Esd and had thrown solid stream OF
water two hundred and thirty feet; another
trial was not deemed necessary before the
parade After that event. on returning to
the house, it was discovered that some
one had been tampering with the bolts in the
lower part of the pump, the nuts being loosen
ed and marks of chisel discovered. 1t was
found necessary to have this portion OF the
machinery recast, and it was removed yester-
day, and will be sent to the makers, Jefers d
Co, New York. While this is being repaired,
the company have obtained the loan OF the
old Stonewal engine and will not remain mac
tive in case their services should be required
