FIVE CENT CHANGE.-The Sacramento Record
advocates the introduction of five cent pieces
into the business transaction of the State. 1t is
an important innovation and the sooner the rule
is established the better it will be for all classes
who for the want Of smaller change are COM
PEELED to pay fifteen cents for an article worth
but ten cents. In speaking of this established
swinde the Record says:
Yesterday we had occasion to purchase pa
per of chewing tobacco. Had we seen fit TO pur-
chase quarter Of a dollars worth, we would
have got three papers of tobacco for it. Had we
handed the person of whom we purchased
dime, it would have been all right, as that is
precisely his price for one paper of tobacco
But we handed him a fifty cent piece, and
though be could have without the least trouble
handed us back forty cents, the change exactly
and honestly due us, he availed himself of the
chance to take from us the California "long
bit"-hfteen cents-and put himself to quite
little trouble to select from his money drawer
the twenty-five and ten pieces with which he
might gouge us out of five cents This little
transaction brought to our minds at the very mo-
ment in stronger light than ever the essential
meanness OF this common swindle; and we
could not help asking ourselves which was really
the smallest, the wish on our part to have re-
turned to us all the change we were entitled to
or the deliberate trouble the tobacconst took to
swindle us out of it. Which is the meanest of
the two, yourself for wanting five cents which
belongs to you, or the individual who cheats
you out of tive cents? 1t is too small a thing to
quibble about five cents, says California ethics
but it don't seem to be too small thing to steal
from man right before his eyes. If a purchaser
should be ashamed of caring for FIVE cents, why
should not seller be ashamed, also, of caring
for it so that he will put himself in so much
trouble to get it into his pocket everytime 2 But
SO it is the sellers make it their rule to manip-
ulate the change so as to bring the five cents
into their pockets all the time. But there is
nothing small or mean in all that oh no. 1t is
not small for them to want five cents that does
not belong to them, but ii is small for the person
to whom it does belong to think about the con-
temptible theft that is thus perpetrated upon
him. Verify, California financial ethics are a
puZZle

state that the most intense excitement prevails
near Terra Haute, in Clark county, in conse-
quence of the discovery of gold about twenty
miles from Terra Haute, by a lately returned

ence. He has been prospecting ravines and in

DEATHs.-Mrs Mary Crews, of Laurens,
died on Friday.
Mr.. Richard Watts, an old and much esteem
ed citizen of Laurens, died at his residence on
the Saluda, on Monday, the 3Oth ultlmo, after
protracted illness. His long life was char
acterized by an earnest, unobtrusive and
modest department.
Mr.. Anthony w. Dozier, formerly of George
town, died at Rio Vista, California, on the I'd
Instant. The Georgetown Times says that he
s'held leading position at the Georgetown
bar for more than twenty years, in those days
when Petigru, Hnnt, Legare and Bailey were
regular attendants OH the court, and was just
ly held in high regard and esteem by the peo-
pie of this community. The noble qualities Of
his nature challenged involuntary respect
from all with whom he came In contact.
While he was brave and manly to the hi CHEST
degree, he was, at the same time, courteous
consderate and fOrbearlng. He was firm, but
not obstinate. He was warm and steadfast
friend, and bold and outspoken enemy. In
fine, he possessed all those noble qualities and
feelings which dlgniied the name OF an old
Carolina gentleman"

ued demand upon his attention or discriminat-
ing Judgment And the ease and fuency with
which he wrote tempted him to write over
much. Those who knew him best knew that
he could do more than he had ever done. They
looked forward with confidence to the day
when his name-borne on the wings of a
mighty Epic-might be measured in busy
Europe as In his native Carolina. But
time and circumstance were wanting. That
astonishing industry and activity which re-
mained with him to the end gave him no re-
pose, and when he appeared in public for the
last time, the flow OF thought and fancy was
as ripe and fresh rs when he first stepped into
literary life. To the buoyancy Of the boy was
Joined the sober scholarship of the mature
man. Who did not notice that the voice of the
poet was weak and faint as he delivered the
opening Grafton of the Floral Fair, In this city,
only afew short weeks ago? And yet who Of
his auditors dreamed then that the teeming
brain and kindly heart had well nigh done
their work?
In company with those whom he loved or
admired, Mr. Slmms was full of jest and merry
conceit. charming talker, he, like Cole
ridge, rather discoursed than conversed. At
all times, he was a true and generous friend,
whose hand was always ready to help the un-
fortunate. In all his anxletles, he did not for
get the sorrows and Affections of others. Ac-
tion-in his charity, as in his professional
work-was the feature of his life.
Mr. smms was twice married. His first
wife was daughter of Mr.. othniel J. Giles,
and his second daughter OF MIR. Nash Roach.
His first wife bore him daughter, (now the
wife of Mr.. Ed. Roach, Of this city;) and his
second three sons and two daughters, all Of
whom are living. One of the dau 5hters is the
wife of Mr. Daniel Rowe.
The body was laid out in the parlor of Mr..
Roach's residence yesterday, and many called
to take last look at the features of the
great departed. The countenance betokened
that he had died without suffering.
The funeral services Of the deceased will
take place at St. Paul's Church, at o'clock
this afternoon. The remains will be inferred
at Magnolia Cemetery.

UNRuLY BOYS DISPERSED BY PISTOL Suor.
All of our readers doubtless know the gallant
ssMajor" Ficklln, and how unobtrusive he is
never minding the taunts and jeers of the
maBelous boys, who seem to delight in tor
meidng him. However, on Saturday morn
ing, he for the first time ceased to exercise his
usual forbearance. On Meeting street, a
crowd of unruly boys molested him. Turning
suddenly, he drew pistol and fired at his
tormentors, causing them to scatter In all d.
rectIons. The "Msjor" was at once arrested
and carried to the Guardhouse, where, proving
concluslvely that his pistol was loaded with
blank cartridge to frlghten the boys, his wea
pom was conAscated and he liberated.

ton & Barker, counsel for the defendants In
the case of Julia D. Reddiug vs.. Nieman &
Berger, which was brought before Trial Justice
J. G. Mackey, have demurred to his jurlsdic-
zion, and submitted an answer to the process
issued In the case, in which they deny the au-
thority of trial Justices appointed by the Gov
ernor over matters of contract and actions for
the recovery of fines and forfeitures, claiming
that such authority is only vested in trial JUS
tices elected by qualified electors. Justice
Mackey has overrnled the objection, and will
probably hear and decide the case.

FUNERAL SERVICES OF THE LATE LIEUTEN-
ANT BURGER.-The remains of the late Samuel
J. Burger, whose sudden DEATH at Carriers
vile, Ca, on the 9th instant, has already been
noticed, reached this city by the South Caro-
lima train, at half-past 3 P. NJ, Saturday. They
were met at the depot by Messrs. W. A. Courte-
nay, F. W. Dawson, C. H. West, Jr., AleXan-
der Calder Fl. Gerdts. ]. NJ. Carson, Jacob
Small and R. s. Chreitzberg, the pail bearers
selected for the occasion, and number Of
friends OF the deceased, and escorted by them
to the St. Johns Lutheran Church, where, at
o'clock, the funeral services took place.
The church was filed by the great numbers
OF personal friends Of the deceased, as well as
by the members of the various organizations
of which he had been Jealous and honored
member
The discourse was preached by the venera-
BILE pastor, Dr.. Bachman, who adverted in
touching terms to the high qualities and
blameless life of him around whose bier they
were assembled, and whom he himself had
known and esteemed as personal friend. He
enjolned upon his hearers to take warning
from the suldenness with which their friend
had been summoned to meet his Maker, and
to so act that when the last hour should also
come for them, they might be ready to meet
death with Christian resignation and conf
dence.
At the conclusion of the services, the re-
mains were borne to the family lot in the
churchyard, and In the presence of sorrow-
ing concourse. were given to the earth. A
profuslon of wreaths and crosses Of fresh flow
ers were placed upon the new-made mound,
the last graceful tribute to well-spent life.

TIE BATTERY AND OTHER CITY PROPERTY
OFFERED FOR SALE AdAIN.-When Sheriff
Mackey, to satisfy an execution in the case of
the executors of Geo. Glbbon, deceased, VS..
the City Council, levied upon the Battery, the
Artesian Well and the premises at the south
east corner of Calhoun and King street, and
advertised them to be sold on the 9Th Of June,
Judge Willard, on motion OF City Attorney
Corbln, granted an order restraining the plain
tiffs, their attorneys and servants, and
Sheriff Mackey particularly, from selling said
property until the coming In of the answer in
said cause, or the tuther order of the court
having Jurisdiction thereof.
On Thursday last the attorneys for the exec
utors filed the answer referred to, and, as we
suppose, claim that the Injunction is thereby
dissolved However, Sheriff Mackey adyer-
tises in this mornings NEWS that by virtue of
an execution In the case Of the executors of
George Gibbon VS.. the City Council, he will,
on the 5th of July, sell the Battery and the
other property above referred to, and also all
that lot of land, situated cast end Of Pinckney
street, now under lease, known as the FERRY
Slip.n Also, all that lot of land, situated on
the east end of Vcndue Range, and known as
the "Ferry Slip" Also, all that wharf or wood
yard, situated at the west end of Lynch
street. Also, all those lots Of land, covered by
water, situated at the west end Of Broad sire ct.
Also all that lot of land, situated at the foot OF
King street, and next west of White Point
Garden.
When all of this property is sold, the cxecu-
tors viii doubtless realize the full amount Of
their claim, s4l,5G 40. but 1t Is not probable
that the sale will take place for some time. II
is argued by some that the filing OF the an
swer does not give the shcrfrthe right to offer
the property for sale again. We learn that two
or more members of the City Council are in
favor of paying the claim of the executors at
once while the majority are opposed to snch a
move. As it is, however, every attempt to
sell tho property advertised will be resisted.
