TIE OLD Folks HohH.-Dr. Lebby, City
Registrar, has recently inspected this institu-
ton, and made report to Council on Tuesday
night last. The report stated that everything
was kept in ss good order as was possible, but
the inmates were sadly in need Of clothing.
The inmsiss are forty-two in number, fifteen
Of whom are from this city, nine from this
county, four from Coll,ton County, four from
ueorgetovn County, two from Williamsburg
County, one from Sumter, one from Columbia;
70 are infants, aged respectively four and six
months. and three whose places Of nativity are
unknown. or this number two are insane, but
b ruless; five cr'pples, s'x bind, and twenty
niue aged and lnfrm. The expense OF maio-
tanning the inmates is 1895 per month.
The report. IN conclusion, says: "By the
laws OF the State, each county is required to
take care OF aud support the natives Of the
county to which they belong. In this institu-
ton, as we'll as lu the City Hospital, there are
several from Georgetown, who were brought to
this city, siok and blind, and landed on the
wharves, and afterward sent from the police
station to these institutions, from humanity,

A WOLF IN SLEEPS CLoTHINa.-The first
number of an advertising sheet, bearing the
name OF the "City by the Sea- made it's ap-
pearance yesterday, Mr.. F. W. Miller being an
nounced as the editor and publisher. AL
though we have little faith in the value to ad-
vertlsers OF so-called newspapers protesting to
have large gratuitous circulation, We we're
prepared to give the new enterprise warm
welcome and our best'wishes for its success.
We are, however, in possession Of trustworthy
information which forces US to believe that
the "City By the Sea" is far from being what it
pretends to be, or what the advertisers
in it's columns have been led to sup
pose. 1t is only right that the busi-
ness community should know that the
new sheet is Radical venture in disguise, and
that it is owned by the proprietors of Radi'
cal city paper, with whose type and upon
whose presses it is printed. We look upon the
publication of the City by the Sea in its pres
ent garb as an imposition upon the merchants
and business men OF Charleston, and when
the truth is generally known, the new paper
will hardly be thought to have dealt in good
faith with the mercantile firms which 80 far
have given it their support.

THE LAo1Bs will doubtless be glad to avail
themselves of the kind invitation of the archi-
tect, Mr.. Devereux, to take look at the inte-
rior OF the new opera house this morning, be-
tween the hours of II and O'clock. The work
as yet conveys but rough idea OF the outlines
Of the auditorium; but it is well that any who
may have had vague misgivings as to the
strength Of the new structure should have an
opportunity Of seeing for themselves the solid
and massive character Of the framework that
supports the roof and galleries. This they
can now do to advantage, as the timbers are
not yet screened by the plastering and orna-
mental work, which will soon render them ln-
visible. When next the ladies are hidden to
the opera house, it will be amid all the glory
of gorgeous frescoes, gilded mouIdings, rich
upholstery and multiplied gas lights.

as- On Friday last, for the first time


in the history Of Crawford county, negro
citizens were summoned to try q case in
the Circuit Court, then in session in this
city. The case was, the State VS.. Henry
Clay, negro man, charged with the de
tcstable crime of Buggery. The evidence
was positive and uncOntradicted. The
Judge assigned able defense for the prls-
oncr and after careful hearing of the
case the jury returned verdict of not
guilty. This surprised no one, unless
it was the prisoner himself, for it was in
keeping with about all yerdicts rendered
at this term. Out Of a large number Of
bills found by the Grand Jury against
different parties, scarcely any Of them
have been convicted.

E1~ We learn that negro man by the
name of Smith, who was working land on
Elisha Rohjnson's place near town, was
killed on Thursday afternoon last by n
white man by the name of Woods. 1t
seems from what we could gather Of the
facts, that Smith had insulted some
white women who were living on the same
place, that were at a spring washing, and
upon Woods learning Of it, he armed
himself with pistol and went to the field
where Smith was at work, and charged
him with the offence; thereupon, Smith
commenced cursing and abusing Woods
when he drew his revolver and shot
him through the breast, and the negro
starting 10 run was shot three or four
times afterwards, killing him dead.
Woods then made his escape, Three
black men started in pursuit and will
probably overtako him, as they were not
far behind, when he crossed The river.
Smith has family, and was working
land on shares at the place where he was
killed Woods was a singl man and was
at work on the same place
