'CHANeE OF FURNITURE CART STANDs.-Mayor
Cogswen has ordered the furniture carts that
have heretofore been stationed on Wentworth
street to vacate. The corners of Liberty, So
ciety and Hasel streets, have been selected in
their place, and the Jehus will in future crack
their whips in those spots. Wentworth-street
was considered unsuitable on account Of the
: cars, which were frequently compelled to wait
on the carts that had sblockaded the track.
/: Some additional orders will be soon enforced,
and the Jehus in the furniture business had
better study city laws in future if they wish to
save their greenbacks.

CONSISTENCY. wide-awake editor OF the

tells the following good story: 'sWe encounter
ed Captain Edwards, Of the ship Missouri

makes up in cleverness and rotundity what be
lacks in height. The captain is a great stick
lerfp principle, as the following incident vii
show; A strike occurred among the colored
stevedores q short time ago, and their places
were filled by whites-Captain Edwards, we
believe. being instrumental in introducing the
Caucasian element. Observing that they en-
ployed . black horse to do the hosting, he in
sisted that a white or hght-colored one should
be substituted, as he wanted no more black
Iabcrers about his vessel-which is model OF
neatness.A

| by hundred persons as it can by one, and
| this disadvantage would be most evident when
trade was brisk and it Was absolutely neces-
sary TO keep the limo clear of all Instructions.
This is but rough review of the general
bearings of the subject; but, now that the ball
has begun to roll, we trust that it will not
cease to revolye until the Freight Railroad
one OF our prime necessities-is an accom-
plshed fact.
VIEWS OF THE MAYOR.
Colonel Cogswell, impressed with the impor-
tance of speedily building the freight railroad
has taken the necessary initiatory steps in the
enterprise, and as soon as a proper degree of
cooperation is secured the work will, be COM
menced. He believes that no other avenue
can be more quickly opened and yield grander
results, than that which enables the planter to
ship his cotton direct to the warehouse or
steamship, and the merchant to receive in re-
turn the goods brought from the North.
Charleston being essentially cotton mart,
whatever tends to facilitate the transportation Of
the staple, saves expense, invites business, and
enhances the resources Of the city by increas-
ing its trade and floating population.
Whatever may be the outlay necessary to
effect the improvement, he is strongly of the
opinion that it will be almost Immediately off
set by the great advantages that will result;
while that large and industrious class, the
draymen, will find that instead Of losing busi-
ness they will be largely the gamers by reason
of the additional life infused into all depart
ments Of trade.
Imbued with this idea, the Mayor has ear
nestly commenced operations, and the City
Council will doubtless lend their aid with equal
zealousneas in edecting this additional great
reform.

TIE BENEFITS OF THE PLAN.

OF the benefit to shippers of line Of tram
or railroad which would allow them to run
tn ir goods at low cost from the wharves to
the depot, or from the depot to the wharves,
there can be no doubt. Trade will fall into the
nearest and most economical channel. Every
additional facility given to it widens it's course
and increases its volume, and the extent of
the advantage may be measured by the state
ment that cotton could be taken to the wharves
pro6tably, by railroad, at about one-third of
what it now costs to move it by drays.
