The LlcESsEs.-In the matter OF the
city Licenses. referred to yesterday, the
merchants who had been summoned be-
fore the Mayor to show cause why the
fine for failing to pay their license tax
should not be imposed, submitted by
Messrs. Baohman & Youmans, their
counsel, the following protest, viz:
l. Because the ordinance Of the City
Council, requiring said license to be paid,
Is void, because it is in conhic! with
Section 80 OF the 1st Article of the Con-
stitution Of this State.
2. Because the ordinance of the City
Council requiring said license is in con-
tict with Section 33 OF Article of the
Constitution of this State.
The Mayor did not consider the same
sufficient, and ordered the levy to be
proceeded with. As was predicted, the
matter will be carried into the courts for
adjudication.
Discharged James Blake, John
White and Henry Morrison. the persons
arrested as suspicious characters, and
upon whom we're found the watches,
ETC., previously referred, to; were dis.
charged. yesterday. after consultation
with counsel, it being underssood that it
would be illegal to sdetaiD them any
longer. The, property found in their
possession is at the guard 6ouse..

Charleston for that purpose, last even
ing. Several persons have lost watches
who cannot recall their numbers, but
who will upon examination be able to
identify their property"
