TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
The Courier, o paper which has been llbe-
rally sustained by tho merchants of Charleston
for many years, in Its issue of Friday last,
under the head of ''Baltinoye Trade" perpc-
trates the following: ''We do not hesitate to u.s.
sert that, in the natural course OF events, Bal
timorc will absorb almost tho entire jobbng
business of this city and other Southern cities,
and wc are warranted In this assertion by the
events Of the past two years."
Wewould like to have the writer OF this artlcle
point ont the special advantages that Baltimore
can offer to the country merchant over Charles
ton, as one would infer he Is learned In matters
Of this sort. Merchants in the interior who
have not only tried Baltimore but New York,
say they buy goods in our market as cheaply
as anywhere-freights on heavy goods added.
We can only account for this article by sup
posing tint o Few Baltimore advertisements
brought It out. Well may we exclaim, tSave
lis from our frlends.n MANY MERcHANTs.
Two think TINT ssManv Marnhant-,, -c--- mia
understood the Intention Of the Courier, which
was, we presume, to suggest that the Jobbing
Merchants of Charleston, not tho country
merchants, will find it to their advantage te
buy their stocks in Baltlmore.-ED. NEws.I

THAT DEMOCRATIC P0LICEMAN.-At haIf-past
eleven o'clock Friday Inst, the committee from
The Loyal League called upon the Mayor and
requested him to remove the ssDemocratIc
members" ofthe police force, and to put Re-
publicans in their places, assuring him that he
would receive the undivided suPpor. of tho
Republicans II he did 80. He assured the COM
mittce that he would gradually relieve the
force of the Objectionable members The COM
mttec then retired. They were not gone
more than five minutes when three Aldermen
called upon tho Mayor, two white and ono
colored. The colored one desired the appoint
ment of white man upon the police force.
One Of the white Aldermen assured the Mayor
that he knew the candidate to be liberal.
minded man, who was willing to lot every man
vote as he pleased, but he was not assured
that he was Republican; he had once made
good policeman, and was q number one man.
The other Alderman was surprised TO hear his
friend express his doubts about the candi-
date's Republican tendencies whyi he
was truly '-loil" one, and should
have the appointment by all means,
This last appeal had tho desired efYeot,
and the candidate was announced as g
Knight OF the Batoh.r The Alderman went
away satlsaediI but oh, horrors the Alder
man who was so certain Of the politics Of the
candidate he 80 zealUusly espoused, received
information, which left no doubt in his mind,
that he had been supporting q Democrat. His

Loss AND GAIN IN CorToN.-Some weeks
ago notice was given that Mr., John H. Holmes,
of Boyce's wharf, one of our Charleston cotton
brokers, had procured q bale Of new cotton
md had placed 1t under cover in his office,
with view to test the loss or gain in weight
The cotton was carefully weighed at 8 P. NJ.
on September Rnd OF A. n. and P. N. on
each following day up to September 80. The
result has been given MY In tabular form
through the kindness of Dir. Holmes. The
main results arc these: On September 6
at P. N. the bale weighed 4l9 pounds,
weather being damp. On September 8, o,
10 and IL the weather was dry, and
the weight fell to Alta pounds at p. n. Sep
tembcr 1lth A succession of damp days follow
ed, and at A. n. on Sept ember is and 81 the
bale had risen to 4203 pounds; and by September
25-at 0 A. M. and P. 1.-The bale reached 42I l
pounds, the maximum. On the last recorded
day, at 8 P. NJ, the bale weighed 420 pounds.
The koy to the whole table Is the range Of the
thermometer. As the mercury. fell the cotton
grew heavier; as 1t rose tho cotton became
lighter. And we should say that diff
ference OF ten degrees rufirenncit with stored
cotton should be generally equal to gain or
loss of II pounds bale. The following table
shows the weight of the bale on each day, with
the state of the thermometer, the direction OF
the wind and the character of the weather:

negro man In this city named Johnson, whose
son, Ben, was, short time since, sentenced
by court in Charlotte, N. c., to twenty years
imprisonment in the penitentiary for stealing
watch. The circumstances connected with
the case left no reasonable doubt In the minds Of
thejury that the accused was guilty. He was
caught In the house one night and the next
morning the watch was missed. However,
after he was imprisoned, the watch was found
where 1t had been placed by the owner for
safe-keeping and It's hiding place forgotten.
All OF this has been communicated to Johnson
by negro in Charlotte, who offers, Ii twenty
five dQllars be sent him, to procure the release
Of Ben Johnson, who is sn old man, wished
to send the money, but he has been advised to
go to tho Governor OF North Carolina and state
the circumstances, and ask for the release of
his son, which he will probably do.
