A REMARKABLE DREAM. In connec-
tion with the horrible Harper tragedy,
the Lexington, KY. Press, Of Friday,
tells o most remarkable dream of one OF
the members OF the Harper family:
sWe were informed by Mr.. Frank Har-
per that the wife of Wallace Harper
dreamed, the Saturday night before tho
murder, that Jake and Miss Bctsey were
both killed by negro man and boy, and
that the man had long whiskers. The
description given OF the man answers
exactly to that of Tom Baker, one Of
the negroes arrested upon suspicion Of
. complioity in the murder. This is very
strange. but what seems tho strangest is
that the chorrid picture should have
haunted the dreams OF q lady relative of
the deceased only dny before his MUIR
der. = M ,lis ias..s

MUNICIPAL REFORM IN PHILADELPHIA.
The Philadelphia papers Of yesterday
smorning contain an address from COM
rmittee OF citizens and taxpayers, en-
fbraoing many Of the best known and
,nost respectable names in the city, sub
anitting to their ellow-citizens NUM-
scipal ticket. mainly compiled from the
candidates on the two party tickets, and
soliciting for it the suffrages of all who
favor reform in the corrupuons which
appear to have invaded every depart
sment OF the city government. The Led
ger, in illustration of the need of this re-
form, alludes to four law suits lately in
stituted on behalf of different citizens
against the several departments of high
ways, city property, tax collection and
reservoir appropriation; and. says the
Ledger, s'the conduct of the officials in
every case was made the subject of strong
.animadversion by the court"

HOMICIDE. We regret exceedingly to
chronicle the fact that a bloody ARRAY
occurred about six miles from this place,
on Thursday, 21st instant, between Mr..
A. 7. Paul and Mr.. George Martin, both
friends, which resulted in the death of
Mr.. A. Y. Paul. Mr.. p, after the ARRAY,
fingered until Friday hight, when he
died. It seems that the parties con
cerned had slight falling out, about
some trifling affair, between this place
and their homes. The coroner empa-
nelled q jury, and an inquest was held
on Saturday last. The verdict of the
,jury was that Mr.. A. Y. Paul, deceased,
came to his death from wound inflicted
by knife in the hands of Mr. George
Martin. This is quite an unfortunate
affair. both Of these gentlemen being
quiet and respectable young men. Mr..
Martin surrendered himself to the she.
riff, on Saturday morning. and gavo bail
Ito the amount Of $4,000.

The PORT ROYAL RAILROAD. The
Beaufort Republican says: ''Ihe railroad
is progressing rapidly. The track is laid
to the draw at Whale Branch. and on
Saturday an engine and ak heavily laden
cars were on the trestle. The draw is
completed, and will shortly be put in
place. II is believed the road will be
completed by November Is. There is q
largo gang of men steadily ut work.
The number OF bales OF cotton brought
in and shipped from Fairfield County, in
the year ending September l, 1871, was
l7,l96, including 1872 bales shipped
from Winnsboro. Winnsboro shipped
only 7,4l5 bales 10 1868, and 5,S34 bales
in 1869.
A CANARD. An Orange County FLA
correspondent says that the story about
the sinking Of great portion Of TINT
County is untrue. and that the originator
of it must have seen the occurrence after
he bud taken heavy drink of rum.

Our city Ana irs AGnin.


No response has yet been made to the
current allegations with reference to the
new City Hall and the new city market.
In our issue of Saturday last, We refer
red to the,current rumors, viz: That the
contract prices allowed for the new City
Hall and the new market are exorbitant.
We repeat that an investigation is called
for. It is the duty of tho City Council
to order this investigation. They are
charged with the interests OF the CITY.
1t is their duty to protect the interests
of the taxpayers. The committee in
charge of the City Hall received. we pre-
sumo, the architects estimates of tho
ecost of the building.
We now call upon that committee to
state what Mr.. Parkins' estimate was.
It is alleged that Mr.. Parkins has stated
that the building for which Mr.. Allen
roceives Sl38.O00 lin round numbers)
can be built for $4,000. Is this SO?
WiA the City Council submit The plans and
specifications for examination by a disin
.tepested committee of citizens?
The same may be said with respect to
the new market. What was Mr.. Lees
estimate as to the cost of the building?
Will the City Council submit these plans
and specifications to disinterested com
.mittee of citizens? We ask for light.
A word now to the citizens. The
question for them is, are they disposed
to stand by and let this matter go by de-
fault2 1t is alleged that gross swindling
has been perpetrated. This should be
investigated. We have done our duty,
and now let the citizens do theirs. It is
popular apathy that makes public swim
ding possible. Few men there are who
will not wilt under an indignant public
sopinion.

Correspondence OF tho Phoenix.
GREENvILLR, s.. O.,

10 +. NJ, MONDAY, Sept. 25. 1871.
At9 O'Clock, tonight. q, fire broke out
in the extensiver range Of old stables, the
property of Captain W. E. Earle, one
square West of Main street, corner Of
Washington, which. in short time,
assumed alarming proportions. The
mass Of buildings were open and quite
extensive, and burned with great rapi-
dity, Illuminating the whee city and
surroundings.
The Palmetto Fire Company (white)
were promptly on hand, nnd got their
engine aud hose in working order with
an expedition worthy Of older and more
experienced firemen; taking water from
a city well and supplying the Neptune
Engine. (colored.) while it played on
adjoining buildings. and who were not
80 prompt in getting in line-having too
many officers and too few privates.
They all, however, performed good SER
vice when they got in operation-saving
several large wood buildings dangerously
near. Chief Engineer Julius G.. Smith
directed operations.
It was, fortunately, quite calm, Which
materially aided the tiremen in saving
adjoining buildings. The stables were
mostly unocoupicd and were uninsured,
and valued at about $500. The fire was,
doubtless, the work OF an incendiary, IA
usual. NJ.

We call attention to the following
communication of the Rov. Mr.. Babbitt.
The statement made in these columne
was based upon what we deemed good
authority. 1t is. however, we believe,
,indisputable, that the communion of q
colored man with the whites caused some
feeling among the members:
The statements which appeared in
your paper, yesterday, with regard to
my mission in Columbia, was incorrect.
1 was appointed to my position of mis-
afonary by the Bishop of the Diocese,
and without any political Significance in
ethe action. No such occurrence as you
have described has ever taken place at
the chapel; and the suspension of ser
vices, which was regarded rs possible,
last Sunday, will be temporary, if it
takes place ut all.

In regard to the general election law
Of September 2G, 1863, GOV. Scott says !:

the day the election is held till the time

gives Ill opportunity to tnmper with the

days.

one OF alarm, particularly to those un
acquainted with the machinery OF poll
tics aud finance, and creates in their
minds dread of some greut evil to come
to tho State, either b3 an increase Of the
