The MAN ABOUT TowE.-The city yesterday
was prolific in ruuors. We have not known tne
like since April, 1861 when everybody received It
directtrom Beau-egard's own lips three times dly.
that s'the Yankees were landing AZ Stono. ana ne
was going to "open IRE on Fo;t Sumter" immediate
" after dinner So almost everJ in iVidua VINO met
and outtonhoea US yesterday had someth.ng strange
aad striking to say about the Si:uat;on.
To Illustrate 1t was runored that on Saturday
mex. s5eny-ive Of the city police will be removed
and corresponding number Of negroes be appointed
In their place.
Iswas declared beyond psradvensure that all OF
the Southern ladies who have been employed as
clerks o. the Citadel for several months pass VIII be
dismissed on Monday next.
Another man said he heard Councilman, VINO re-
ce;Yed it direct from friend of gentleman VINO
dined at the same table with Colone! Cogswel say
that the Mayer was piping mad because Gen. Carby
wished to have him preside over coorel men, and
would unquestonably ask 70 be relieved.
Two distinguished hremen are alleged to have
stood fifteen minutes on the corner Of Bioad street
and the Bay, and "cussed" audibly, because Mr..
Goldsmith had been appointed Engineer OF the Fire
Department, and Sam Dickerson. very much color
ed negro, was made Clerk of the Board of Fremas-
ters It is by no means certain that Sam can w'ite,
but he is prepared to vote as early and as often as
sany other man." which peihsos accounts for the
milk in the cocoanut
It was stated upon undoubted authority tn sever
al members Of the new Council have determined to
rescind all the tax ordinances and remove the tax on
everything It was suggested, too that committee
would probably be appointed as perambulating
choir 10 go around the ciysing that touching psalm,
.eDo You belong to Gidson's band, and take up
collection to pay Of the ci , debt.
ItisaIso expected that the officials appointed under
the new administration win serve without pay and
for the honor Of the place.
Also that the courtroom in the City Hall will be
turned into another kind Of 'bsr" room. where who
ever Is oman and brother" may get free lunch
and liquid acoompaniments.
, It was stated that somebody had posse1 paper in
a public place. whereon several impo!.te things were
said about General Candy anonymously. After
tracing the rumor through thirteen men and little
boy, we abandoned further searth. 1t be true, the
author ought to be ashamed Of himself. No person
has right to abuse another person personally with;
out being personally responsible therefor.
Several children were seen crying in the streets.
On being questioned the reason assigned was that
little colored girls and boys were about to Re taken
into Il e High School and Orphan House.
The general w1sh expressed on the streets Was that
General Candy would pack up his trunks and go to
some hot country-say Hsyh or San Domingo-and
for once people really did seem to appreciate Gene
ral sictles and regret his departure Nobody doubts
that the object Of an thsae strange and gud-
den changes is to help the Radical party not only in
the local elections Of cha:.sston, but In
the approaching Presidential contest Tho con.
gress;onal moguls want excitement in some
Southern city. Their stock IN trade iss now nearly
exhausted. They want more capits!, and II healthy
row could be created, itmight be worth million Of
votes Notwithstanding all the excitement that pre-
walls with reference to city AFFAIRS however, we are
glad toknow that there is an iuyjncible determine
ZION en- the part of our peop,e to keep the peace.
Time is great healing paste:. Public opinion is
good physician, and in prescribing for poor afflicted
South Carolina. the military eruption on her body
polidc win not be forgotten.
