THE NEW HARDWARE STORE of Messrs. Hart
& Co., on Hayne street, is tempting resort
for the country buyers. Opening with an entire
ly new stock, which is sdisplayed in the most at
tractivc manner, they offer unequallcd in
ducements to the trade. The house is one
of the oldest mercantile firms in the city, and
their retail stand, at tho corner of King and
Market streets, has an extended and enviable
reputation. The wholesale branch in Hayne
street is new enterprise, but is conducted
on the same sound and liberal business prin-
ciples that have been the basis of the pros
perity of the firm in the past.

Loss AND GAIN IN CoTToN.-Some weeks
ago notice was given that Mr. John H. Holmes,
of Boyce's wharf, one Of our Charleston cotton
brokers, had procured bale Of new cotton
and had placed it under cover in his Office,
with view to test the loss or gain in weight.
The cotton was carefully weighed at 3 ?. NJ.
on September 6, and at A. NJ. and P. N. on
each following day up to September 30. The
result has been given us in tabular form
through the kindness Of Mr.. Holmes. The
main results are these: On September G
at P. NJ. the bale weighed 4l9 pounds,
weather being damp. On September s, Q,
10 and IL the weather was dry, and
the weight fell to 4l7l pounds at p NJ. Sep
tember 18th. A succession Of damp days follow
ed, and at 9 A. NJ. on Sept ember Is and 81 the
bale had risento 42O2 pounds; and by September
25-at 8 A. NJ. and P. M.-the bale reached 42l!
pounds, the maximum. On the last recorded
day, at 3 P. NJ, the bale weighed 42O pounds.
The key to the whole table is the range Of the
thermometer. AS the mercury fell the cotton
grew heavier; as it rose the cotton became
lighter. And we should say that a diff
ference of ten degrees Fahrenheit with stored
cotton should be generally equal to gain OF
loss of IL 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:

was driven ashore. 1t was mentioned that her

THE TIMBER CUTTERS AND THE LUMBER
BILL.-The timber cutters were not at all
pleased with some of the provisions of the
"Ordinance to create the Office of Inspector
general Of timber and lumber, and TO define
his powers and duties, and for other purposes
relating thereto" and contemplated appeal
ing to the Legislature to make some law
which would not conflict with their Interests,
as they allege the said ordinance does. Hear
ing of this movement the Inspector-G General
has drawn up bill supplementary to the
Objectionable ordinance, which, if passed by
Council, and there is no doubt that it will,
may meet the approval of the timber cutters,
and prevent their making the proposed ap-
peal.
The new bill provides that ''all timber having
any injurious defect, or anydefect, heretofore
specified, other than ring, wind or heart
shakes, shall be classed as defective timber,
and the price to be paid for the same shall be as
agreed upon between the buyer and the seller.
And if any cutter or owner of any raft OF tim
Der brought to this market for sale shall con-
ceal. or cause to be concealed, any detective
stick of timber in such raft, so that the defec-
live portion, or side, shall not be visible to the
inspector, and shall thereby cause the same 10
be classified as merchantable timber, such cutter
or owner shall be fined by the Mayor in the
sum of fifty dollars, one-half TO be paid to the
informer, and the other half for the use OF the
city.r That .'al timber and lumber brought
to this market for sale, or sold within the lin
its of the city, or shipped therefrom, shall be
inspected, measured and marked by duly
authorized inspector and measurer Of timber
and lumber, whose fees shall be for such in
spection. measuring and marking. as spec-
fed in sections twelve and sixteen re-
spectively of the ordinance entitled An or
dinance to create the Office of Inspector-Gene-
raj of Timber and Lumber" &c. That "for
the greater convenience of mill owners the
Mayor be, and he is hereby, authorized to ap-
point and license six measurers of lumber,
whose duty it shall be to inspect and measure
ONLY such lumber as shall be sawed in the
city, and sold to purchasers residing within
the limits of the same. And such additional
measrlrers shall take the same oath OF office,
give the same bond, and be subjected to The
same regulations now prescribed for the gov
ernmcrt of inspectors and measurers Of tim

safe-keeping and its hiding place forgotten.

THAT DEMOCRATIC POLICEMAN.-At halfpast
eleven o'clock Friday last, the committee from
the Loyal League called upon the Mayor and
requested him to remove the Democratic
members" of the police force, and to put Re-
publcans in their places, assuring him that he
would receive the undivided support Of the
Republicans if he did so. He assured the COM
mittee that he would gradually relieve the
force of the Objectionable members. The COM
mittee then retired. They were not gone
more than five minutes when three Aldermen
called upon the Mayor, two white and one
.colored. The colored one desiredthe 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 let every man
vote as he pleased, but he was not assured
that he was Republican; he had once made
good policeman, and was number one man.
The other Alderman was surprised to hear his
friend express his doubts about the candi-
dates Republican tendencies why he
was truly loil" one, and should
have the appointment by all means.
LUIS laSt opPcdl udu llS Utsueu eueCt,
and the candidate was announced as a
"Knight of the Baton" The Alderman went
away satisfied; but oh, horrors the Alder
man who was 80 certain of the politics OF the
candidate he so zealously espoused, received
Information, which left no doubt In his mind,
that he had been supporting Democrat. His
sleep was troubled-visions Of woodsawyers
saving him into bits for having ''gone back
upon the twelve hundred adherents to the
Radical faith who desired to be ''put on guard"
of long preambles and resolutions from the
Loyal League censuring him for such unre-
publican conduct; of Sam Dckerson rising up
and calling him traitor, fioated DER his mind In
the morning he called upon the Mayor and re-
quested him to recall the appointment, but the
Mayor refused, stating that the appointment
had been made upon the Alderman's asser-
tions, and that the appointee would have to
remain upon the force. The Alderman left
dlgusted with things generally The force If
1t has gained a Democrat, Ia also gamer In
having resolute man-one who BY long e1-
perieoce Is acquainted with the duties Of a po-
Nceman, and knows how to discharge them
with frmness and discretion.

said: ''when did you murder this man ?"
One of the prisoners quickly replied, AT three
O'Clock Friday morning"
