TIE CELEBRATED CRAIG MICRosooPE.-The
following letter from q subscriber exposes
what appears to be new way Of swindling the
public, and we regret exceedingly that his con-
fidsnce in the advertisers in the TIE DAILY
NEWS should have caused our correspondent
disappointment as veil as pecuniary loss. The
advertisement Of the 'Craig Microscope"
reached us in the usual course Of business, and
we had no reason to doubt its good faith; butwe
now take pleasure in giving the letter of our
correspondent all the publicity in our power
80 that other persons may take warning in
time: o.o
SAVANNAH, GA, January 6, 1868.
To the Editors of Me Daily Neaos:
would respectfully call your attention to
the following:
Sometime about the 18th Of November last,
an advertisement appeared IN your valuable
journal headed "The Celebrated Cralg Micro
SCOPE" Being Carolinian myself, and know
ing the standing and character OF your paper,
I experienced no hesitation in placing the ut
most confidence in its advertising columns;
hence entertained no doubt of the honesty Of
the advertiser in this instance, and RENTED
by postofice order five 50-100 dollars to cover
an order for two microscopes. inns occurred
at the date indicated above, since Wnlcn tlme
nothing has been heard from either the artl-
Gle sent for or the money. It is not the loss Of
the latter nor even the non-receptlon OF the
former that has induced this communication,
but the utter lack Of principle and good latin
involved in the transaction.
Hoping that you will soon be able to correct
this unjust imposition upon the public by an
exposure of it's perpetrators,
/ Iremain, yours most respectfully,
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1868-01-09

THOSE WHO HAVE not supplied themselves

AHA1L SECURED To THE CONVENTION.
Charleston Club House has been formally Sc
cured by the convention as the most suitable
place in which to hold its deliberations, and
General Candy has become personally respon-
sible for the payment of the rent OF the same,
at the rate of two hundred dollars week, or
one thousand dollars for the session. The
Club House is in every respect suited for this
purpose, as the large hall on the second story
is fully capable of accommodating the dele
ea:es. while the rooms on the lower floor can
be used by the different committees. No posi-
tive arrangement has been yet made for the
payment Of the per diem Of the members, but
steps are being taken which induce the belief
that the money will somehow be forthcoming
when the requisition is made.

PREsDNa.-The Grand Jurors, regular and
tales, were called, and from those answering
to their names, the following grand jury was
organized.
W. E. Haskell, Foreman; E. Scott, W..
scheper, G. Schwing, John Tolle, L. Behrens,
W. Withers, H. Williams, Thomas Hamlin,
John Charlton, G. T. Abrahams, Walter Webb,

Courtenay.
The Dit Attorney handed the Clerk va
riety of bills, among which were one for as
sault and battery and improper treatment OF
seaman on the high seas, and several against
traders for violation of the Internal Revenue
law.
BY direction of the Judge, the District
Attorney read the clause in the acts of Con-
gress referring to the improper treatment OF
seamen.
After ahe witnesses were sworn in, the
Judge addressed. the grand jury, explaining
the general nature of their duties, and par
ticularly in reference to the bills on which the
witnesses had been sworn.
The grand jury retired, and after an ab-
sence Of some hours returned into court, with
findings as follows, viz: true bills in the
cases of:
The Uaited States Us. G. W. Aimar and Chas.
ADMINISTRATION of Internal Revenue laws,
sections 165 and 169 of act Of Congress, June
SOth, 1874, as amended by act July 18th, 1886.

The United States us. Vim. Bart-same Of

The United States us. Jno. A. Cook and Jno.
b. Tetjsn-same offence.

Strauss--same offence.
The United States us. VIM. G.. Trott-same
offence.
The United States us. Obed Andrews and
VIM. H. Gordon-Assault and Battery on the
high sets.
This case is that of the first and second
mates Of the barque Alexander Mcneil, who
we're charged by the sailors with the murder
of one ct their number. The act of Congress
which refers to this subject is very explicit,
making the master or officer of vessel, who
shall beat or maltreat sailor without justifi-
able cause, liable to fine not exceeding one
thousand dollars, or Imprisonment for five
years, and if the case is aggravated both may
be inflicted. In his charge to the grand jury
the Judge instructed them fully as to the acts
OF Congress bearing upon this case.
The District Attorney stated that as all the
witnesses we're present he would proceed in
the trisl of the case of assault and battery on
THURSDAY, and the grand jury were then dis
missed by the Judge until II A. M. Friday.
The lights of citizenship were conferred up
on Henry F. Borneman, the petitioner having
subscribed to the customary oaths.
The Court then adjourned.

A LECTURE BY BISHOP LNoH.-This distin-
guished prelate, with an enlarged kindness of
feeling, which is one of his truest character
istics, has consented to deliver lecture at the
Hibernian Hall, on Monday night next, in aid
of the funds Of the Ladies' Mutual Aid Asso-
citation. The association itself is now nearly
destitute of means; it can no longer give work
to the needy to enable them to earn their live
lihood; it cannot continue its benefcent opera
tions unless it receives immediate and earnest
help. 1t is charity in which every one is IN
terested; it is an institution that no one would
willingly allow to become extinct; and, when to
the call of 5enevolence and charity is added
the attraction of a lecturer as learned, as elo-
quent, as amusing, and as instructive as Bish-
op Lynch, there can be no doubt that the lee
ture on Monday night will be 30 well patron
lied as to give the association that relief OF
which it stands in need.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ADVERTISING is every
day made manifest. Those who have lost arti-
cles which they wish to recover, or others who
desire to obtain information on any point, in
variably turn to the advertising columns Of q
newspaper as the best medium through which
they can make their wants known to the public.
This fact is well known, and the large circula-
ton of the NEWS has rendered it the most po-
pular paper in the city for all styles of adver-
tising. On Wednesday morning MIR. Fremder
advertised in this paper snuff box that had
been abstracted from his counter. Before night
the box was returned, and MIR. Fremder's
counter was again graced with the old relic.
People that help themselves to others property
should be careful to select those localities
where there are no daily newspapers.

LATER PARTICULARS.

A lady who came down from Ridgeville yes
terday evening, gives some additional partic-
ulars Of the attack upon the mail carrier be-
tween Ridgeville and Vance's Ferry.
The mail carrier, MIR. Kopp, is about eighteen
years old. When he reached the negroes,
they demanded the surrender Of the mail. MIR.
Kopp perenlptorily refused, and the negroes
then said that they would take the mail by
force. MIR. Kopp replied that he was armed
and would defend himself, and the negroes
then fred. When Mr.. Kopp found that his
pistol would not fire, he turned his horse and
ran. Two outlets were found in the mail
pouch, they not having had sufficient force to
carry them through the mass of letters and
papers which it contained.
There were four negroes in the party. They
were all armed, and each Of them wore the
blue badge Of the Union League.
