We heard a wise colored man say last
Sunday. when the attempted assassina
ton of Mrs. Martin and the subject OF the
then approaching election were discussed,
tina "when you go to church you ought
TO 20 TO hear the gospel" Instead Of this
Radicslism has converted colored
churches into Loyal Leagues, and black
preachers are simply travelling agents of
mean white office seekers.

Mr.. Erich is still in the gay capital, and
from his long stay must be enjoying him
self hugely. He will probably be back

glassware, Sevres china, etc, along with
j him as will astOniSh the natives.
Mr.. John Gibson, the clerk at the
Adams street station, has been confined
to his room several days with a severe
bilious attack. We hope he will soon be
out, as he is one OF the most indefatigable
| officers connected with the entire police
department-alwsys at his post, accurate
in his method of doing business, polite
and obliging to all, and as true as steel to
his friends, there are few men better fitted
for the position he holds or more worthy
to ill it.
Buildings that cost in the aggregate
| S330.0o0, have been built in the last year,
or are IN the course of construction, in
this city and its suburbs. These houses,
built for residences or business purposes,
have been constructed under the super
vision OF a single firm of architects, and
do not constitute one-half in value and
cost of the buildings erected and now IN
process Of construction.
We have received from J. A. Swain,
ESQ, General Agent of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, a magnificent col

map that we nave seen of the seat of war;
indeed, it is the only production, with one
I exception, that can be digniied with the
name of " map"

the bridge into the water by a falling
! plank. He was rendered senseless by the
blow, and Immediately sank to the bot
tom, as his companions thought, never TO
| rise again alive. Judge of their astOnish-
I ment, however, at seeing him rise to the
! surface some five minutes afterward,
fully fifty yards below the point where he
sank, alive and swimming, A pole was
stretched 10 him and he was dragged
ashore safe and comparatively sound!

10 incits a riot at the Seventh Ward polls
on election day, was arrested by officer
Pat MeEiToy OF a warrant ISSUED by

jail, and will lay an examination to-

and blecks-sOmething that might have
[ resulted in untold horror, and would have
succeeded but for the GOODNESS and intre-

We have received a communication
from Mr.. c. p. DeKaminietz, Of Larkins-
vile, Ala, in reply to an extract from a
/ st. Louis paper, published in the APPEAL
some weeks ago, showing why Americans
| should not be partisans OF either France
or Prussia In the present war. The AP-
I PEAL has thus far carefully refrai1ed from
Any p~sTtisanship in the matter, and has
/ printed all news and information it could
obtain fro N both sides, without regard 10
the individual or personal predictions
or sympathy of its EDITORS Mr.. Won
Ksministz's letter is violently partisan, is
/ couched in language calculated to arouse
bitter resentments, and to provoke contro-
versies that were better avoided. We
must therefore decline its publication.
The following marriage licenses were

Daniel w. Dickinson and Miss Marietta

phine Chandler; John Brattie and Mrs.
| Matte Hughes; w. II. Roberts and Miss

Strange to say, there were no blacks. The
bucks and parsons must have been too
busy about the election.
The Turnpike Co, on Poplar street,
have suspended work owing TO the terri
BE condition of the street between the
end o fthe Nicolson and corporate limits,
where the turnpike commences. The
road outside the city limit is a great suc-
cess so far. What q pity the impossible
gulfof a few hundred feet, inside the city
limits, should stop their progress. Did
not the City Fathers promise that this
niece Of street should be built in time 10
meet tDS kuAnBLAC' ~ on ihg
will soon be on us, and ifthe street is not
built az once, ii will be disastrous TO the
road. The street is graded ready for the
brick and gravel, and the material is atthe
Charleston depot. Why not get the
Turnpike Co, 10 build IL, who we learn,
prop6se 10 do IL at actual cost, TO make
] he connection with the NicOlson. ;
