VOLUME X.-NUMBER 2182. CHARLESTON, MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 13, 1873. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. THE STATE CAPITAL. THE WORK OF THE ASSEMBLY. The Lien Law to be Abolished-Legal Proceedings Against the Late Admin¬ istration-The Charleston Water Bill-Miscellaneous Proceedings. [FROM 9DR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) COLOMBIA, January ll. The proceedings In the General Assembly during the past two days have included two of the most important debates in the Senate that have been had during the session, and have resulted In the dual passage by that body áf two Important measures-the repeal ot the lien law and the condiilonal extension of the lime for the payment of taxes. THE LUM LAW. The discussion of the lien law came up upon a bill to repeal Sections 65 and 56, Chapter 120 of the General Statute.«, which sections provide that persons making advances ol money or supplies to planters, <fec., sha;! have a preferred lien on their crops, and prescr'ba the method for the enforcement of such lien. This bill was offered some weeks ego, but it was only recently returned by the judiciary committee, and upon Its reappearance in the Senat« a determined effort was made lo loree lt tbrougb. Its advocates consisting mainly of the colored members, who insisted that the operation of the law had been producive of great hardship among the poor people. Some curious examples ol the working of Hie law were given by Senator Nash und others, one case being ibat of an Improvident colored man who bad given a Hen on bis whole world¬ ly pof sessions and expectations In consider¬ ation ol one barrel of very bad whiskey, and had been reduced to rags and misery thereby. Other equally hard ewes were oiled, where ibe last bushel ot corn and the last sneak of bacon had been sold out ol poor men's houses to satisfy a Hen, and altogether the Senate managed to work Ueelf up into quite a fever of indignation agatnsl the Hen-takers. It was in vain that eome of the senators suggested that i li ose unfortunates whose love for whis¬ key was so strong as to cause them to be rob- bed under the operaiiou of the Hen law. weald, la all probability, be robbed any way, und that to a sober and Industrious laborer the opportunities afforded by the Hen law lo obtain credit tor necessary advances were In¬ valuable. The majority of the senators were strenuous for the repeal, and the bill was passed to ils third reading by a large vote. It came up again for discussion to-daj, and Senator Jeter offered a proviso to i be effect that the act should not go Into effect until the first of April. He supported thia proviso on the ground that many planters and business men were about making their contracts lor the coming year, and the sudden abolition ol BO important a law would lake them by sur- Ïrlse, and entail great contusion and loss, he proviso, however, was voted down, and the bill In Its original shape was put through Ile final passage and sent to ihe House, which bouy will probably concur in its passage. AN -EXTENSION TOB TBS TAX TATERS. The question ol extending the lime lor 'he payment ol the present taxes, without penally, fias also been very earuesily debated during the past few days, aud a sort of half way measure ot reliel for the taxpayers was passed by the Senate to-day. It has been admitted on all band» that io simple Justice to the tax¬ payers the lime ehoula De extended. Inasmuch as the levy ot the tax bas been delayed, through no fau t of theirs, some two or three months, and in some counties me tax collec¬ tors are not ready even yet for the reception of laxes: A Joint resolution was Introduced by Senator Dunn two days ugo to extend the time lor paying the tax without penally norn the 15th of January lo the 16ih of Maren, and an effort waa made to have this considered at onoe, but a single objection belog suffi¬ cient io prevent its Immediate consideration the resolution went over under the rules until Friday. On Friday morning, belora the Joint xeeolnllon could be reacned, the finance £3mmliiee reported bacK a bill which ad iain quietly in its pigeon boles since the 2a ot December, and wblco while nominally providing for an extension ot time for the taxpayers, in reality only provides that the comptroller-general, with ibe ap* proval of the Governor, may, In bis discretion, extend the lime "as loog us may be necessa¬ ry," Now, it would ot course make no differ¬ ence to the taxpayers whether the time ot pay¬ ment were extended by direct action ot the Jlegislature or by the order of the State effi¬ lais, bul the trouble ls that there is no possi¬ bility now ol getting the present bill through the Legislature betöre the day on wblcb the penally attaches. The bill received Us final passage to-day ia the Senate, and will get to the House on Monday. There lt cannot pos¬ sibly reoelve Ita "three separate readings," and he finally passed until Wednesday, ann that ls the very day on which the penally ntl .ches. It seems reasonably evident, therefore, that lt 1B not the Intention of the Legislature to grant any real extension of the time, and that the taxpayers are to be made lo pay, by the pen¬ alty of twenty per cent, for the blunder of ihe late comptroller-general In levying an uncon¬ stitutional tax. THE TRIAL JUSTICE QUESTION. The question of the number of trial justices to be allowed to the various connues bas Sroved ibis session to be one of the most pro¬ ne sources of bills and resolutions, nod there has hardly been a day when an effort has n»t been made to have the number of these offi¬ cials increased In some of the counties. The Senat* judiciary committee, therefore, has adopted ibe very sensible plan ot bringing in one general bid prescribing ibe number ol trial Justices to be appointed, and leaving blanks for the various counties, which blanks were filled yesterday in the Senate by euch member specifying how many trial Justices he considered his county was eniltled to. Un¬ der this arrangement the blanks In the eui were filled as follows, and Ihe bili was passed and sen¿ to tbe House: Abbeville 13, Aiken 8, Anderson 16, Barnwell 8, Beuulort 15, Charles¬ ton 24, Chester 8, Clarendon 6, Cotieton 10, ?oesterdeld 6. Darlington 10, Edgefleld 12, Fairfield 8, Georgetown 8, Greenville 9. Horry 10, Kershaw 9, Lancaster 7, Laurens 7, Lex¬ ington 9, Marlon 10, Marlboro* 6, Newberry 7, Ooonee 8, Orangeourg 10. Pickens 8, Richland 12, Spartanburg 12v Sumter 10, Union 8, Wil¬ liamsburg 10, York 10. GOING TOR THE POLL TAX. Senator Whlilemore, of Darlington, who seems to have taken the inteiests ot the free common schools under his wing, yesterday In¬ troduced a blU to provide for the more effectual yolleotlon ot the poll tax, the first section of which provides "that upon the non-pay¬ ment, within the time prescribed by law, of ibe poU tax, a penally ot two dollars shall at¬ tach upon such poll, and the non-payment of euch penalty ls hereby declared a misde¬ meanor, punishable by thirty days' Imprison¬ ment in the county jail." The second section of this bill'provides that the county treasur¬ ers shall make out lleta ot ibe delinquent polls, as prescribed by law In the casé ot the non-payment ot other taxes, and place ihem in the bands ol the trial' justices in the re¬ spective precincts, who shall Issue warrants of airest against the de nu que LI ts, and lo case ol their non-payment ol the penalty, they shall commit them tb Jail. The trial Justices are required to pay over to the county treasurers, within thirty days, all penalties collected under the act, andaré to receive no compen¬ sation lor the services, but the sheriff or con¬ stable who executes the warrants is to receive a fee of one dollar, to be paid by the defend¬ ant. TES SCHOOL FONDS. The same senator, as a further prool of hts zeal in the cause of popular education, this morning Introduced a loag bill concerning the Behool lund?, which provides that tue General Assembly shall levy each year a i-peclal lax on all taxable property, to be known as the school lax, the proceeds of which shall be collected and paid into the Stute treasury as usuel, and shall not be npplled by ihe State treasurer lo any oilier purpose than the support ol the free common íchools, under a peualiy ot ten inousaud dollars fine (to be applied io school purposes) and imprisonment at ihe discretion ot me couru The bill also provides that the county treasurrrs fhall report lotbecouuty school commissioners ail collectons an* dls- burevmvjut> on account of the school muds or the poll tax. under a penalty for neglect ol five hundred dollars flue aud imprisonment at the discretion of ihe court; and it contains a number of other regulatioas as to the man¬ der ol dlshorsiDg the school lunds. ANOTHER RAILROAD SCHEUE. Senator Swalls Introduced, yesterday, a bil to Incorporate ibe Wioyah aad Santee Rail¬ road Company, which names himself, willi two or three other members of the Legisla¬ ture, and a few non-official citizens, as Incor- porators, with authority to construct a rail¬ road from the Town of Georgetown, in nearly as direct a line as possible (the dis¬ tance not to exceed forty miles.) to I he Ban- lee River, and io organize lor the transaction of business as soon as fifty thousand dollars thall have been subscribed. The bill confers upon the proposed company all ihe powerB conferred by the original charleroi the North¬ eastern Railroad, except exemption from taxes and ihe pledge ot the faith and credit of the State, aud provides that the road shall be c mmenced within two years and com¬ pleted within seven years after the passage of the act, or the charter thereof shall be lor- feited. FEES FOR INSURANCE AGENCIES. A very Innooent little bill, which was re¬ ported favorably yesterday by the Senate Ju- rliciary committee, In reiatton to the Slate license tee lor insurance agencies, was made lo appear, by a very small typographical error In ihe printed bill, to be a measure for imposing a very heavy and unusual tax upon such agencies, and ll has been so reported in most of the newspapers. The Stale license fee is now fixed at Ave dollarp, and the pres¬ ent bill mere*y proposes to make this amount payable to Lie contingent fund ol the comp¬ troller-general's office In Biead of being paid Into the State treasury for general purposes, but by the omission of a Mmple period alter the Ogure 5 in the bill ibe amount ot $5.00 was summarily magnified lato 3600. and the bill was unfortunately BO reported In the tele-¡ graphic columns of THE NEWS. THE CHARLESTON WATER COUPANT. The measure for the Introduction of a sup¬ ply of water to the City of Charleston, which bas been Inaugurated by the Chamber of Com¬ merce and endorsed by tne City Council, bas now been introduced In both branches of the Assembly, and has every prospect of a suc¬ cessful passage. The bill, which ls entitled a bili lo incorporate ihe Charleston Water and Canal Company, and which has been printed In full in THE NEWS, was Introduced to-day by Senator Gaillard and Representative Greene in the two houses, respectively, and the memorial from the City Council urging Its passage bas been printed and laid on the desks uf ihe members. It is understood lhat neurlv all ot the members from Charleston will g'ive il their hearty support, and lt ls not probable that lt will meet with any decided opposition from any source. LIGHT IN DARE PLACES. There have recently been Introduced In the Assembly two Important resolutions which promises something practical In the way of an Investigation Into the financial misdeeds wb'ch are alleged against the late adminis¬ tration. These resolutions propose, lusiead of appointing Investigating committees which, as has generally been found, can too easily be satisfied, io place the Investigations in the hands ol the atioroe}-general with ample uu- thorliy.to make them as complete as need be, and with specific directions io follow them up with criminal prosecutions against any purtles whom be may find reason to believe guilty. The first Of these resolutions was Introduced in the House last Thursday, and, as has mi end y been reported, lt directs an investiga¬ tion Into all ihe payments made by the late Slate treasurer, and especially those made to the mUhlcal "Mooney, Leggett and Wilson;" '.ann if any payments have beeu made con¬ trary io law to commence proceedings against all persona making or receiving ibe same." Thia resolution was received In the Seuale yesterday, und alter an Ineffectual attempt to t-eud lt lo the committee on finance, it was coucuiredin; so that the attorney-general ls now authorized to make this investigation. The second proposed investigation relates to the doings of ihe late sinking inna commis¬ sion, a body which bas huberto treated with lolly disregard the many requests of the Gen¬ eral Assembly for a report ot its transactions, a resolution was Introduced In ihe Senate last Thursday requesting them again to make a report of the sales of Slate property made by them, and what bad become of the money, and this was relerredto the judiciary commit-' tee, whloh commitine to-day reported as a sub¬ stitute a joint resolution, which, Instead ol a polite request for miormatlon, authorizes the attorney-general to commence proceedings against the commissioners lu the event ot meir still refusing to report, and make- an ap- proprlallon for the expenses ot the ault. The resolution requires the commissioners to ''re¬ pon to the-General Assembly the amount of sales perfected under their authority; the number of acres of land or number of city lots sold by them; Hie amount of assets of railroad bonds, stocks, shares or auy other property sold by (hem; how the funds have beor, applied to the liquidation of Hie public debt," Ac, and it they lall or refuse lo make SUCH a report within thirty days after ihe passage of ihe resolution ihe uuorney-general ls directed to institute such legal proceedings against the commissioners as will best protect the Inter¬ ests ot the State, and to employ ouch legal as¬ sistance us be may require. NOTICES OF BILLS. The following notices of bills to be intro¬ duced were (jlven to-day: By Senator D.mn : Notioe of a bill to Incor¬ porate the Cneraw and Chester Railroad Com¬ pany. B. Senator Jamison : Notice of a bill to give lo planters and factors a lien upon crops. By Senator Wblitetnore : Notice of a bill to authorize Ihe attorney-general to commence proceedings agaluat H. H. Eimpton, financial agent of ibe Slate of South Carolina, In order to eflVct a seulement. In tue House, to-day, the enacting clause was stricken out of the bill "to abolish the office of coiiniy auditor, and devolve the dulles of that office upon the clerks of courts of ihe respective counties." PICKET. TBE JPAlItONS OF HUSBANDRY. A Pleasant Gathering at Fort Motte. ORANOEBORO, S. C., January 9. Colonel Aiken, the popular and energetic mover In the scheme of establishing granges, under the auspices of the "Patrons of Hus¬ bandry," (an order for protection against the combinations of brokers and middlemen, who dig deeply Into the agricultural Interest,) founded a society at Fort Motte. Its anniver¬ sary occurred on the seventh, and, with a number ol oiher guests, your correspondent took rall thither. Tue lateness of the hour prevented us from visiting the natural scenery whic h abounds aoout this historic spot, where, in ante-bellum days, Us regal hospitality, wealth HUH culture, rivalled that of any sec¬ tion ot South Carolina, when those "Llchtsome days and lantr When blamed nopes around nur hearts Like simmer blossoms sprang." Stilling the truth of the many and dire ravages to property and society, os we rode amid the wreck ot ruin, we realized ihe trite quotation so forcibly uttered- "Sad is the prospect of this shore. 'Tis Oreece, but living Greece no more." Away we drove to ihe mansion of Daniel Zimmerman, E.-q., one of the stately land- mai ks left by ibo rapacious Sherman, which Incurs graceiully without and in the title of ».Lang Syue," aud entering found a number of ladies and gentlemeu enjoying social chat. A trio ot sable musician.-, with ibe aid ot violin, tamborine and triangle, bet ibe little feet uglee until midnight, wnen the clang el a welcome bell Invited to the supper room. It were superfluous to say aught more than lhat it was a "St. Mfttthew'o" supper. The viands and wines were abundant »ud rare, and the small hours flitted gally by. An Impromptu quartette ot gentlemen added cweet vocal music until the party dispersed, when we partook of the hospitality of Colonel A. D. Goodwyn, the popular aud courteous master ot Hie Grange. May the Patrons of Huebandry long exist to preserve untainted ihe social siaius pi ibe natives of our State from ihe deb asl 3 iuflueuces of the age of progress. QUELQUEFOIS.

LONDON, January ll. The post-mortem examination of the Em¬ peror's remains was conoluded at Chiselhurst yesterday afternoon, and shows that the Im¬ mediate cause of death was the lallure of the action of the hean. The failure of circulation was due to the Emperor's general constitu¬ tional oondition. The bladder was lound to be diseased, and his kidneys affected. The other organs were sound and healthy, but death was simply "a question of time. THE FUNERAL will take place next Wednesday morning, at eleven o'clock. The royal family of Eng.and will be represented on the mournful occasion bF the Prince and Princess of Wales, and Prince Christian, who will accompany the ex- Empress Eugenie.

The Empress Eugenie will soon Issue a proclamation to the French people announc¬ ing that she assumes the regency durlug her sou's minority. The Prince and Princess of Wales will re¬ main in strict retirement at their country sear, San Irlngham, tor one week, as a mark of respect lo tue memory of Napoleon. MADRID, January ll.

During the session of the It Utan Chamber of Deputies yesterday blgnor Lausa, Minister of the Interior, torma'ly announced the death of Napoleon. He said the Italian government bod learned of the death of the Emperor with deepest regret. It was impossible to forget that Napoleon contributed great y to récure ihe unity of Italy. The eulogistic remarks of the minister were received with applause by the members. THE FRENCH ARMT AND PRESS. PARIS, January 10. Marshal McMahon re po ts to ihe President that the army ls not affected by .he death of Napoleon. There are Bu na par H.-ts among the officers, but there is no party which support Ibe Napoleonic dynasty in the army. The Bonapartist officers In the French army have asked leave to attend the funeral, and permission will probably be granted, If they agree to go la civilian's dress. PARIS, January ll. The Gaulois, this morning, says the only officers of the French army who are permitted to attend the funeral ot Napoleon will be those who were ot tbe household of the ex-Emperor dering his reign In France. The Legitimist, clerical and Orleans journals do Justice to Napoleon's good qualities, and concur lu the opinion ibat the eystem he in¬ herited was responsible for most uf the evils of hi* government. L'Univers appeals to the Orleans princes to acknowledge the Count de Cbambord as the legitimate heir to the throne ot France, and thus rally around a centre the monarchical ioroes, strengthened by Napoleon's death. Le Temps says a terrible responsibility weighs on Napoleon's memory. He, however, was the victim of tradition, and was deficient lo moral sense. The experience Frunce has gone through with him will preserve ber here¬ after I mm political saviors and lalalists. The Bien Public studies the man psychologi¬ cally, and says ot him, after gaining power by conspiracy he continued to govern by a policy of contempt for mankind. Le Orde and Le Pays put their columns In mourning and declare the Emperor ls dead, but the empire Is indestructible. The Journal des Débats ls Impressed by the suddenness and character of the chastise¬ ments of this man. He was the great delu¬ sion of the country. Tho mass of tiie nation dreamed with him; the awakening was terri¬ ble. Now the empire ls peace-tue peace of the tomb. Tbe République Francais considers Ibe Bo- napanist party dead. I; reviews what the two empires have coat France In mouey, blood, shame and disaster. Both the Emperors were only powerful by the loree of Hes. by lies they fell. The Napoleonic Jena hos vanished .com¬ pletely. The hero of Strasbourg and Bou¬ logne ls the nephew of Austeriliz, and the the Woolwich cadet thu son of Sedan. It is Indeed finished. The Constitutionnel finds the situation in France and Europe In nowise affected by ihe death ol Napoleon III. His reign was most fruitful In great results, and history will re¬ cord lt as one of the most prosperous, not¬ withstanding Ita disastrous close. The Gaulois shows a black border, and de¬ fends the memory ot the deceased. It at¬ tributes his death more to anguish, caused by unmerited disasters, shameful treasons and infamous calumnie.*, than lo the effects of physical disease. The Journal Officiel BDeaks of the Emperor in terms of respectful sympathy, and hopes bis death, by reducing ibe number ol pre¬ tenders, will not lesson the country's hope for a calm and orderly future. The Steele pitilessly remarks that his death carries all thoughts to Alsace. The im¬ portance of the news Irotn London may be summed up thus: The Empire was dead;"tue Emperor bas Just died. The Figaro cannot forget Napoleon's twen¬ ty-two years of service against an army of conspirators. It deplores his faults. They led France to the brink ol' an abyss, into which others precipitated her. LARGE EIRE IN MACON. The Telegraph and Meesenger reports a destructive fire In Macon on Friday night. The fire originated in the office of Messrs. Wilbourne & Edwards, grocery merchants, corner of Fourth and Plum streets. The build¬ ing in which the fire originated was consumed, together with two oj three small wooden ten¬ ements, occupied by families, who succeeder In removing most oi their rflees.

HUNTING THE OUTLAWS. Stephen Lowery, the Outlaw, and John LOL ki tar, t lie Mnrdcfrer, Panned Into South Carolina-Shooting or Floyd Oxendlne by John LockWar-The Lat ter Arrested, but Released by a Marlon Trial Justice. [From ihe Wilmington Star.] From a gentlemen ju<t returned from Bobe- eon County we learn lhat a sheriffs posse, consisting oí William Wilson, the slayer of the notorious outlaw, Andrew Mrong; Floyd Oxendlne, who also figured somewhat In thal tragic occurrence; and William McCienney, went across the line into Marlon County, a. C., some lime last week, In pursuit ol Ste¬ phen Lowery and John Lockiear, the former being ihe only remaining member of the band of outlaws, ot which ihe famous Henry Berry Lowery was once the leading spirit, and the latter being accused of the murder ot the McLeod family In Cumberland County, some years ago. Mr. Wilson and in« others returned on Tuesday, and reported lhat they came up with Juhu Lockiear at a certain house In Marlon County, Lowery having disappeared before their arrival. As the posse neared the house, Mr. Wilson called to Lockiear to come out, when the latter replied by threatening to shoot him If he did not'leave. The party con¬ tinued to advance, however, and had come wubin a few yards of the house, when Lockiear fired upon them, shooting Floyd Oxendlne and wounding him severely, though not danger¬ ously, lu ihe neck, breast and band, white. In the midst of the contusion wnlch ensned, the murderer escaped through the back door and beat a hasty retreat. Mr. Wilson and party- followed after the fugitive, who was making his way towards his old haunts lu Robeson Count}-, and finally succeeded In getting a warrant for lila arrest from a magistrate by the name of Lee, which was placed In the hands of a special deputy. After a vigorous pursuit the party floaily came up with Lock¬ iear and succeeded In effecting his arrest, the special depmy formally dellvefieg ihe prison¬ er into Ihe bauds of the posse from BobeBon Cjuniy. Elated ut their Biiccess In securing at least one of the vlllanous desperadoes of whom they were in pursuit, Mr. Wilson and his friends started homewards with their prisoner, who bad been securely iroued, when, us they had reached a point within about two miles of the line, they were approached and halted by Sheriff Berry, of Marion Comity, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff A. P. BrigmaD, formerly ol this city, who proceeded to arrest the wuole party and made them retrace their steps to Marloo Courthouse. Here they were ar¬ raigned betöre Justice Lee, the same magis¬ trale who bad Issued the warrant for ibe ar¬ rest of Lockiear, wnen the latter was uncon¬ ditionally turned loose, while Mr. Wilson and his pany were only released on the payment to the sheriff and m&glsirate aforosald the sum of $6U 90.

[Fiom the seien tl 3c American.] No mechamo eau over attain distinction un¬ less he is able to deteot ordinary imperfections at sight, so that bo can see if things are out of plumb, out of level, ont of square and out ot proper shape, and unless be can also detect disproportion^ or ill shaped patterns. This is a great mechanical attainment. We aay at¬ tainment, because it can be attained by* any ordiuary person. 0/course tbere are deleotive eyes as there are other defective organs; the speech, for iustanco, is sometimes defective; tut tho eye is susceptible of the same training as anv other organ. The muscles, the voice, the censo of hearing, all require training. Con sider bow the artist must train the organ of sight tn order io detect tho slightest imper¬ fection in shade, color, proportion, shape, ex¬ pression, &o. Not one blacksmith in five ever attains the art of hammering square; yet it ia very essential iu hie occupation. It is simply because be allows himself to get into a careless habit; s little training and care ia all that is necessary for success. Ihe fact is that tbe eye is not balf aa much at fault B.B ibo heedless mind. Some carpenters acq J ire the careless habit of using a try square every time they plano cir a shaving, in placo or giving their minds tight their business and properly training their eyes; and unless tney cultivate thia power of the eye they will always bo at journey work. Look at tbe well-trained DlacKsmith; be goes across tia ehop, picks up the boi se's foot, takes a squib t, returns to the anvil, for g. a thc shoe, and it exactly fits the foot. Contrast bim with tho bungler who looks at the foot, t en forgea a shoo, often to the ruin of a fine hoi SJ. Now the ia mt lies iu ever allowing himself to put a shoe that ia not in proper shape for the toot; he should determine to make the shoe fit the foot in placo of the foot fitting the shoe, and be should follow it up nutil the object is accomplished. A very good way to discipline tho mechani¬ cal eye IB to first measure an inch with the eye, then prove it with the rule, then meas¬ ure a half inch, then an eighth, and so on, and you will soon be able to disoover at a glance tba differjnce between a twelfth and a six¬ teenth of an iucb; thon go to three inches, six, twelve and so on. borne call this guessiug; there is no guess work about it; it is measur¬ ing witb tbe eye and mina. Acquire tho habit of criticloing tor imperfections every piece of work that you see; do everything as' nearly as you can without measuring (or spoiling it,) or aa nearly as you can truet the eye witb us present training.

GRANX'S FRIEND MURPHY ASSUMES POWER. Tne Charier to be Altered Again- Trial of ex-Bog* Tweed-The Feeling Over the Verdict In the Stokes Case- Will the Murderer Ever be Hanged*- Opening ot the Ball Season-Wood- bull and Claflln Again. [PROM OCS OWN CORRESPONDENT ] NEW YORK, January 8. It seems to be conceded tbat every lime tbe State changes its politics tbe city charter must be remodelled to salt the Interest ol the faction newly come In power. The consequence ls that we are never nicely Axed and run¬ ning smoothly but that weare unfixed and all nt sea again. A new charter, the product oí the brains of the Tom Murphy Ring, was pre¬ sented In the legislature to-day. It ls very «weeping In ita character, and will put us aB completely In the power of Murphy as we used to be In that of Tweed. Among -the salient features of the new instrument, which will doubtless have a favorable reception from a thoroughly partisan legislature, are the wiping ont ol the board of assistant aldermen, the assignment of the duties of the board of supervisors to the aldermen, Important chang¬ es In the personnel of the departments, and the publication of the public advertising lu a Bingle paper, to be called ihe City Record- The latter will deprive all the city papers ot the patronage which has heretofore assisted them so materially in keeping on their legs. While Tom Murphy ls assuming the reins of power, the old Tammany Riug cblet ls beiog tried for bis offences. The long deterred ca-e of the people against William M. Tweed ls ac¬ tually In court. Counsel for the defence have promised to make no more dilatory motions, and the trial has begun at last. Tweed has a formidable array ol talent on his side. David Dudley Field, (who Is ranked ct the New York bar only by Charles O'Conor and William M. Evans,) John Graham, the first of criminal lawyers, ex-Judge Fullerton, William Bartlett, John E. Burri aud Elihu Root are among his counsel. The prosecution Is conducted by the new district-attorney, B. E. Phelps, assisted by Lyman Tremain, the Congressman at large elect, who was Stokes's principal lawyer In the late trial, and Wheeler H. Peckham. The case will doubtless cover several weeks, with a strong probability ot ending m the convic¬ tion ol the détendant. '1 he new Supreme Court Judge, Noah Davis, presides. Several days have now elapsed since the conviction ol Stokes, and public sentiment in reference thereto has had time to clarity and settle. The verdict of the Jury was received with undisguised astonishment, lt is a ques¬ tion, lt a thousand people In the city expect¬ ed otherwise than a disagreement ot the Jury or the acquittal ot the prisoner. We have come to look upon the average New York Juror as a creature full of tender compassion for a murderer, and stern reprobation lor a murderee. That twelve men, who do not read the newspapers carefully, could be Induced to bung anybody bas seemed to be absurd. After the amazement of the pub.Io wore off, there was a great diversity ol opinion among Indi¬ viduals. The case was talked of everywhere, and, of course, every one had his say. Some thought the evidence Insufficient to convict; others sympathised warmly with Stokes, as a poor fellow bounded to his death by lue old Erle ring; others again were willing to accept the verdict as a good thing to strike terror Into the hearts ol the unruly classes, even If Stokes Individually deserved some pity, while another class were really In great glee over over the result. The feeling of the larger part of the community, I think, bas settled la lavor ot having the law take Its course. Stokes Is spoken ot as a man doomed to die, and deservedly so. But will he ever be hanged ? I oonless I have my doubts. A desperate effort will be made to save him. A great deal ol money will be spent by his friends and family, and they can bring a large social Influence lo bear in his favor. His counsel have already ap¬ plied for a bill of exceptions, and will attempt to get a new trial. The day of execution will doubtless be postponed. Foster, the car hook murderer, was sentenced a year ago, aud his lawyers have succeeded In staving off the fatal hour Indefinitely. If the present verdict against Stokes ls not set »side he has another ctiance for his life with Ooveroor Dix. An effort will be made to get hie sentence com¬ muted ii imprisonment tor life. Tne toughest Job the Governor will have to go through dur¬ ing his (erm ot office will be lo shut bis heart to the appeals for clemency from people In the strongest social posltloos. A year hence some ot the bitterness against Stokes wilt have died away, and if bis friends can keep him from the gallows as long aa that there ls reason to believe that the news ot a commu¬ tât IOD of his sentence will be received by the public with comparative Indifference. The public ball eeasou opens this week, and will coutlnue with spirit until the be¬ ginning of Lent Several huge affairs are already advertised, notably among them that or the benefit ol the Nursery and Child Hospital, which will take place at the Academy of Music on the «th proximo. The list of pa- irons of this ball would fill a column of THE NEWS, and ls composed of the Dames of the most brilliant men and women in the world of wealth and fashion. The French masquerade ball ls announced lor ihe evenlug of the 13th instant. These abominable women, Woodhull and Claflin, are advertised to lecture at Cooper Institute to-morrow night; subject, "The Naked Truth." They are out or prison on ball. Their champion, George Francis Train, still occupies /a cell contiguous to Stokes's In the Tombs/being In an obstinate mood and reluslog to give ball. There ls some likelihood of a disturbance at Cooper Institute to-mor¬ row night, and of a refusal by the venerable Peter Cooper of the ball to Ihe lessees. John Brougham's second new play of the season, which was brought out on Monday night at the Union Square Theatre, ls not a success. He has been quite unfortunate in hU literary ventures this season. Daly, redlvlvus, calls the old Unitarian Church, on Broadway, In which his company will reappear a week from Tuesday, toe "New Firth Avenue Theatre." The "Avenue" is several blocks off. NTM.

[From the Monthly Becord.] On the sixth day of July, 1854. Christian Hanckei, D. D., rector oí Mt Paul's Church, Radcllffeboro', me Bev. P. Trapier Keith, rector of St. Michael's, the Bev. Edward Phil¬ lips, Messrs. Edwin Heriot, T. Alexander Brough ion. Charles D. Carr. Joseph Prévost, Bobert H..Clarkson, Fred. ¿.Ford, EdwardB. White, aud Colonel John Phillips met at the Protestant Episcopal Library Boom, on Chal¬ mers street, at me Instance of ihe. Rev. Mr. Phillips-, who among some old papers belong¬ ing to the late Bishop Gadsden, had found Mrs. Lucretia Ruder fie a grant, and was most anx¬ ious to have an Episcopal Cmirch erected on ihe land donated o y that lady. The Rev. Mr. Phillips explained the object of the meeting, urged the Importance of an Episcopal Church lu ihe sumiros of the city, the good which lt oould accomplish by the ministration ot Its services and by the establishment of a Sunday- BOhool, and suggested that the lay gentlemen present would constitute themselves the ves¬ trymen and wardens of the church, which de¬ sired to be called "Christ Church." His sug¬ gestions were accepted, and Messrs. Charles D. Carr, Joseph Prévost, Robert H. Clarkson, Fred. A. Fwrd, Edward B. White and Colonel John Phillips became the vestrymen and Messrs. Edwin Heriot and T. Alexander Broughton, the wardens. The Rev. Dr. Hanck¬ ei und the Kev. Mr. Keith then verbauy assign¬ ed all their rights, powers and (merest as trustees under Mrs. Badcliffe'd grant to the vestry, and the Bev. Mr. Phillips was unan!- mouty elected rector. H*» Immediately entered on the discharge of his parochial duties; ne hired a room on Nunan street where be held divine service regtilary on even forenoon and afternoon of tue Lura's day; he visited the poor »nd mose In the neighborhood wno he- longea to no church; looked after children as pupils for the Sunday-scuool, and undertook ihe atti nous task of rawing funds by subscrip¬ tion wlih which to build the church. By his own personal applications ho collected the sum ot one ibousand. aud thirty eight dollars, as Bbown In bis prívale memoranda, now In the possession of bis broiher, Colonel Phillips/ He labored earnestly and faithfully until ibe 26th of September, 1864, wheo, from over¬ taxed energies, he sickened and died. Mr. James H. Qulnby. then a candidate for orders, acted as lay reader and upon his ordination was succeeded by Mr. J. Mercier Green, not yet ordained. At a regular meeting of the vestry, Messrs. Edward B. White, Edwin Heriot and Colonel Phillips were appointed a committee on the church building. Colonel White drew the plan wbioh waa adopted; a contract was entered Into for its erection and some progress was made, when the work was slopped for want of muds. A few ol the vestry ai tempted to raise subscription* with which lo finish the building, bul tcelr efforts proved fruit less. From a high respect for the memory of his brother. Colonel Phillips then coniracted with a nul ld ei for the completion of ihe edl- noe, and on the 6th ol January, 1858, lt was consecrated bv Bishop Davis. Mornlug Prayer was said by Bev. Cranmore Wallace and Rev. Dr. Marshall, ihe Sentence of Consecration by Bev. Dr. H*nckel, the Ante-Communion serv¬ ice by the Bishop and a sermon by Bev. C. C. Plnckney.

Mr. Green, he baptised fourieen adults, and flitv-iour children, officiated at seventy-three bm lal , and solemmz-d ll marriages, and during the same pei iud the Bishop confirmed tweniy six persons. In the summer of 1862, Edwin Heriot, E-q., one of the wardens, died. No higher tribute can be paid to his memory, than that of the Bev. Mr. Green-which has been found among the papers nf ihe church. From June 1st, 1862, to July, lb72, a period of teu years, the church has oeen cLseu, but tt is now reopened under the rectorship of ihe Bev. Mr. Green,wlih the following Vestry: Wardens -Henry P.

On ihe afternoon of the 9ih Sunday after frinliy, B shop Howe preached an able aud Impressive aermon; he invoked the Divine blessiug upon the good work which had been unaenakeD, and expressed the hope that lt might lead to suceasful results. Since that day. a Sunday-school has oeeu organized, the children ot the neighborhood have been gath¬ ered together io receive Instruction In order that they may acquire that religious know¬ ledge which will make them wise unto sal¬ vation, and their parents have been '.-.rited by ihe church bell io the cervices of ihe sanc¬ tuary.

THE STATE CAPITAL.THE WORK OF THE ASSEMBLY.

The Lien Law to be Abolished-LegalProceedings Against the Late Admin¬istration-The Charleston WaterBill-Miscellaneous Proceedings.

[FROM 9DR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)COLOMBIA, January ll.

The proceedings In the General Assemblyduring the past two days have included two

of the most important debates in the Senatethat have been had during the session, andhave resulted In the dual passage by that bodyáftwo Important measures-the repeal ot thelien law and the condiilonal extension of thelime for the payment of taxes.

THE LUM LAW.

The discussion of the lien law came up upona bill to repeal Sections 65 and 56, Chapter120 of the General Statute.«, which sections

provide that persons making advances ol

money or supplies to planters, <fec., sha;! havea preferred lien on their crops, and prescr'bathe method for the enforcement of such lien.This bill was offered some weeks ego, but itwas only recently returned by the judiciarycommittee, and upon Its reappearance in theSenat« a determined effort was made lo loreelt tbrougb. Its advocates consisting mainly ofthe colored members, who insisted that theoperation of the law had been producive ofgreat hardship among the poor people. Somecurious examples ol the working of Hie lawwere given by Senator Nash und others, onecase being ibat of an Improvident coloredman who bad given a Hen on bis whole world¬ly pof sessions and expectations In consider¬ation ol one barrel of very bad whiskey, andhad been reduced to rags and misery thereby.Other equally hard ewes were oiled, where ibelast bushel ot corn and the last sneak of baconhad been sold out ol poor men's housesto satisfy a Hen, and altogether the Senatemanaged to work Ueelf up into quite a feverof indignation agatnsl the Hen-takers. It wasin vain that eome of the senators suggestedthat i liose unfortunates whose love for whis¬key was so strong as to cause them to be rob-bed under the operaiiou of the Hen law.weald, la all probability, be robbed any way,und that to a sober and Industrious laborerthe opportunities afforded by the Hen law loobtain credit tor necessary advances were In¬valuable. The majority of the senators werestrenuous for the repeal, and the bill waspassed to ils third reading by a large vote.It came up again for discussion to-daj, andSenator Jeter offered a proviso to ibe effectthat the act should not go Into effect until thefirst of April. He supported thia proviso onthe ground that many planters and businessmen were about making their contracts lorthe coming year, and the sudden abolition olBO important a law would lake them by sur-

Ïrlse, and entail great contusion and loss,he proviso, however, was voted down, and

the bill In Its original shape was put throughIle final passage and sent to ihe House, whichbouy will probably concur in its passage.

AN -EXTENSION TOB TBS TAXTATERS.The question ol extending the lime lor 'he

payment ol the present taxes, without penally,fias also been very earuesily debated duringthe past few days, aud a sort of half waymeasure ot reliel for the taxpayers was passedby the Senate to-day. It has been admittedon all band» that io simple Justice to the tax¬payers the lime ehoula De extended. Inasmuchas the levy ot the tax bas been delayed,through no fau t of theirs, some two or threemonths, and in some counties me tax collec¬tors are not ready even yet for the receptionof laxes: A Joint resolution was Introducedby Senator Dunn two days ugo to extend thetime lor paying the tax without penally nornthe 15th ofJanuary lo the 16ih of Maren, andan effort waa made to have this consideredat onoe, but a single objection belog suffi¬cient io prevent its Immediate considerationthe resolution went over under the rules untilFriday. On Friday morning, belora the Jointxeeolnllon could be reacned, the finance

since the 2a ot December, and wblcowhile nominally providing for an extension ottime for the taxpayers, in reality only providesthat the comptroller-general, with ibe ap*proval of the Governor, may, In bis discretion,extend the lime "as loog us may be necessa¬ry," Now, it would ot course make no differ¬ence to the taxpayers whether the time ot pay¬ment were extended by direct action ot the

Jlegislature or by the order of the State effi¬lais, bul the trouble ls that there is no possi¬

bility now ol getting the present bill throughthe Legislature betöre the day on wblcb thepenally attaches. The bill received Us finalpassage to-day ia the Senate, and will get tothe House on Monday. There lt cannot pos¬sibly reoelve Ita "three separate readings," andhe finally passed until Wednesday, ann that lsthe very day on which the penally ntl .ches.It seems reasonably evident, therefore, that lt1B not the Intention of the Legislature to grantany real extension of the time, and that thetaxpayers are to be made lo pay, by the pen¬alty of twenty per cent, for the blunder of ihelate comptroller-general In levying an uncon¬stitutional tax.

THE TRIAL JUSTICE QUESTION.The question of the number of trial justices

to be allowed to the various connues bas

Sroved ibis session to be one of the most pro¬ne sources of bills and resolutions, nod there

has hardly been a day when an effort has n»tbeen made to have the number of these offi¬cials increased In some of the counties.

FEES FOR INSURANCE AGENCIES.

A very Innooent little bill, which was re¬ported favorably yesterday by the Senate Ju-rliciary committee, In reiatton to the Slatelicense tee lor insurance agencies, was madelo appear, by a very small typographicalerror In ihe printed bill, to be a measure forimposing a very heavy and unusual tax uponsuch agencies, and ll has been so reported inmost of the newspapers. The Stale licensefee is now fixed at Ave dollarp, and the pres¬ent bill mere*y proposes to make this amountpayable to Lie contingent fund ol the comp¬troller-general's office In Biead of being paidInto the State treasury for general purposes,but by the omission of a Mmple period alterthe Ogure 5 in the bill ibe amount ot $5.00was summarily magnified lato 3600. and thebill was unfortunately BO reported In the tele-¡graphic columns of THE NEWS.

These resolutions propose, lusieadof appointing Investigating committees which,as has generally been found, can too easily besatisfied, io place the Investigations in thehands ol the atioroe}-general with ample uu-

thorliy.to make them as complete as need be,and with specific directions io follow them upwith criminal prosecutions against any purtleswhom be may find reason to believe guilty.The first Of these resolutions was Introducedin the House last Thursday, and, as hasmi end y been reported, lt directs an investiga¬tion Into all ihe payments made by the lateSlate treasurer, and especially those made tothe mUhlcal "Mooney, Leggett and Wilson;"'.ann if any payments have beeu made con¬trary io law to commence proceedings againstall persona making or receiving ibe same."Thia resolution was received In the Seualeyesterday, und alter an Ineffectual attempt tot-eud lt lo the committee on finance, it was

coucuiredin; so that the attorney-general lsnow authorized to make this investigation.The second proposed investigation relates to

the doings of ihe late sinking inna commis¬sion, a body which bas huberto treated withlolly disregard the many requests of the Gen¬eral Assembly for a report ot its transactions,a resolution was Introduced In ihe Senate lastThursday requesting them again to make a

report of the sales of Slate property made bythem, and what bad become of the money,and this was relerredto the judiciary commit-'tee, whloh commitine to-day reported as a sub¬stitute a joint resolution, which, Instead ol a

polite request for miormatlon, authorizes theattorney-general to commence proceedingsagainst the commissioners lu the event otmeir still refusing to report, and make- an ap-proprlallon for the expenses ot the ault. Theresolution requires the commissioners to ''re¬pon to the-General Assembly the amount ofsales perfected under their authority; thenumber of acres of land or number of city lotssold by them; Hie amount of assets of railroadbonds, stocks, shares or auy other propertysold by (hem; how the funds have beor, appliedto the liquidation of Hie public debt," Ac, andit they lall or refuse lo make SUCH a reportwithin thirty days after ihe passage of iheresolution ihe uuorney-general ls directed toinstitute such legal proceedings against thecommissioners as will best protect the Inter¬ests ot the State, and to employ ouch legal as¬sistance us be may require.

HUNTING THE OUTLAWS.

Stephen Lowery, the Outlaw, and JohnLOL ki tar, t lie Mnrdcfrer, Panned IntoSouth Carolina-Shooting or FloydOxendlne by John LockWar-The Latter Arrested, but Released by a MarlonTrial Justice.

[From ihe Wilmington Star.]From a gentlemen ju<t returned from Bobe-

eon County we learn lhat a sheriffs posse,consisting oí William Wilson, the slayer ofthe notorious outlaw, Andrew Mrong; FloydOxendlne, who also figured somewhat In thaltragic occurrence; and William McCienney,went across the line into Marlon County, a.C., some lime last week, In pursuit ol Ste¬phen Lowery and John Lockiear, the formerbeing ihe only remaining member of the bandof outlaws, ot which ihe famous Henry BerryLowery was once the leading spirit, and thelatter being accused of the murder ot theMcLeod family In Cumberland County, someyears ago. Mr. Wilson and in« others returnedon Tuesday, and reported lhat they came upwith Juhu Lockiear at a certain house InMarlon County, Lowery having disappearedbefore their arrival. As the posse neared thehouse, Mr. Wilson called to Lockiear to comeout, when the latter replied by threatening toshoot him If he did not'leave. The party con¬tinued to advance, however, and had comewubin a few yards of the house, when Lockiearfired upon them, shooting Floyd Oxendlne andwounding him severely, though not danger¬ously, lu ihe neck, breast and band, white.

THEBDUCATION OETHE ETE.

[Fiom the seien tl 3c American.]No mechamo eau over attain distinction un¬

less he is able to deteot ordinary imperfectionsat sight, so that bo can see if things are out ofplumb, out of level, ont of square and out otproper shape, and unless be can also detectdisproportion^ or ill shaped patterns. Thisis a great mechanical attainment. We aay at¬

tainment, because it can be attained by* anyordiuary person. 0/course tbere are deleotiveeyes as there are other defective organs; thespeech, for iustanco, is sometimes defective;tut tho eye is susceptible of the same trainingas anv other organ. The muscles, the voice,the censo of hearing, all require training. Consider bow the artist must train the organ ofsight tn order io detect tho slightest imper¬fection in shade, color, proportion, shape, ex¬

pression, &o. Not one blacksmith in five everattains the art of hammering square; yet it iavery essential iu hie occupation. It is simplybecause be allows himself to get into a carelesshabit; s little training and care ia all that isnecessary for success.Ihe fact is that tbe eye is not balf aa much

at fault B.B ibo heedless mind. Some carpentersacq J ire the careless habit of using a try squareevery time they plano cir a shaving, in placo or

giving their minds tight their business andproperly training their eyes; and unless tneycultivate thia power of the eye they will alwaysbo at journeywork. Look at tbe well-trainedDlacKsmith; be goes across tia ehop, picks upthe boi se's foot, takes a squib t, returns to theanvil, for g. a thc shoe, and it exactly fits thefoot. Contrast bim with tho bungler who looksat the foot, t en forgea a shoo, often to theruin of a fine hoi SJ. Now the ia mt lies iu ever

allowing himself to put a shoe that ia not inproper shape for the toot; he should determineto make the shoe fit the foot in placo of thefoot fitting the shoe, and be should follow it upnutil the object is accomplished.A very good way to discipline tho mechani¬

cal eye IB to first measure an inch with theeye, then prove it with the rule, then meas¬

ure a half inch, then an eighth, and so on, andyou will soon be able to disoover at a glancetba differjnce between a twelfth and a six¬

teenth of an iucb; thon go to three inches, six,twelve and so on. borne call this guessiug;there is no guess work about it; it is measur¬

ing witb tbe eye and mina. Acquire tho habitof criticloing tor imperfections every piece ofwork that you see; do everything as' nearly as

you can without measuring (or spoiling it,)or aa nearly as you can truet the eye witb us

present training. If you cannot see ibingemechanically do noi blame tbe eye for it; it iauo more to ¿lam? than the mouth is becausewo cannot read, or tho fingers because we

cannot wn*e. A person may write a very goodhand wtth bis eyes closed, the mind of courseairecting thu fl ;era. Tue (yo is necessary,how.-ver, to deteot imperfections.Every occupation in life requires a mechani¬

POWER.

Tne Charier to be Altered Again-Trial of ex-Bog* Tweed-The FeelingOver the Verdict In the Stokes Case-Will the Murderer Ever be Hanged*-Opening ot the Ball Season-Wood-bull and Claflln Again.

[PROM OCS OWN CORRESPONDENT ]NEW YORK, January 8.

It seems to be conceded tbat every limetbe State changes its politics tbe city chartermust be remodelled to salt the Interest ol thefaction newly come In power. The consequencels that we are never nicely Axed and run¬

ning smoothly but that weare unfixed and allnt sea again. A new charter, the product oíthe brains of the Tom Murphy Ring, was pre¬sented In the legislature to-day. It ls very«weeping In ita character, and will put us aB

completely In the power of Murphy as

we used to be In that of Tweed. Among -thesalient features of the new instrument, whichwill doubtless have a favorable reception from

a thoroughly partisan legislature, are the

wiping ont ol the board of assistant aldermen,the assignment of the duties of the board ofsupervisors to the aldermen, Important chang¬es In the personnel of the departments, andthe publication of the public advertising lu a

Bingle paper, to be called ihe City Record-The latter will deprive all the city papers otthe patronage which has heretofore assistedthem so materially in keeping on their legs.While Tom Murphy ls assuming the reins of

power, the old Tammany Riug cblet ls beiogtried for bis offences. The long deterred ca-e

of the people against William M. Tweed ls ac¬

tually In court. Counsel for the defence havepromised to make no more dilatory motions,and the trial has begun at last. Tweed has a

formidable array ol talent on his side. DavidDudley Field, (who Is ranked ct the New Yorkbar only by Charles O'Conor and William M.Evans,) John Graham, the first of criminallawyers, ex-Judge Fullerton, William Bartlett,John E. Burri aud Elihu Root are among hiscounsel. The prosecution Is conducted by thenew district-attorney, B. E. Phelps, assistedby Lyman Tremain, the Congressman at largeelect, who was Stokes's principal lawyer Inthe late trial, and Wheeler H. Peckham. Thecase will doubtless cover several weeks, witha strong probability ot ending m the convic¬tion ol the détendant. '1 he new SupremeCourt Judge, Noah Davis, presides.Several days have now elapsed since the

conviction ol Stokes, and public sentiment inreference thereto has had time to clarity andsettle. The verdict of the Jury was receivedwith undisguised astonishment, lt is a ques¬tion, lt a thousand people In the city expect¬ed otherwise than a disagreement ot the Juryor the acquittal ot the prisoner. We havecome to look upon the average New YorkJuror as a creature full of tender compassionfor a murderer, and stern reprobation lor a

murderee. That twelve men, who do not readthe newspapers carefully, could be Induced to

bung anybody bas seemed to be absurd. Afterthe amazement of the pub.Io wore off, therewas a great diversity ol opinion among Indi¬viduals. The case was talked of everywhere,and, of course, every one had his say. Somethought the evidence Insufficient to convict;others sympathised warmly with Stokes, as a

poor fellow bounded to his death by lue oldErle ring; others again were willing to acceptthe verdict as a good thing to strike terrorInto the hearts ol the unruly classes, even IfStokes Individually deserved some pity, whileanother class were really In great glee overover the result. The feeling of the largerpart of the community, I think, bas settled lalavor ot having the law take Its course.Stokes Is spoken ot as a man doomed to die,and deservedly so.But will he ever be hanged ? I oonless I

have my doubts. A desperate effort will bemade to save him. A great deal ol moneywill be spent by his friends and family, andthey can bring a large social Influence lo bearin his favor. His counsel have already ap¬plied for a bill of exceptions, and will attemptto get a new trial. The day of execution willdoubtless be postponed. Foster, the car hookmurderer, was sentenced a year ago, aud hislawyers have succeeded In staving off the fatalhour Indefinitely. If the present verdictagainst Stokes ls not set »side he has anotherctiance for his life with Ooveroor Dix. Aneffort will be made to get hie sentence com¬muted ii imprisonment tor life. Tne toughestJob the Governor will have to go through dur¬ing his (erm ot office will be lo shut bis heartto the appeals for clemency from people Inthe strongest social posltloos. A year hencesome ot the bitterness against Stokes wilthave died away, and if bis friends can keephim from the gallows as long aa that there lsreason to believe that the news ot a commu¬

tât IOD of his sentence will be received by thepublic with comparative Indifference.The public ball eeasou opens this week,

and will coutlnue with spirit until the be¬ginning of Lent Several huge affairs are

already advertised, notably among them thator the benefit ol the Nursery and ChildHospital, which will take place at the Academyof Music on the «th proximo. The list of pa-irons of this ball would fill a column of THENEWS, and ls composed of the Dames of themost brilliant men and women in the worldof wealth and fashion. The French masqueradeball ls announced lor ihe evenlug of the 13thinstant.These abominable women, Woodhull and

Claflin, are advertised to lecture at CooperInstitute to-morrow night; subject, "TheNaked Truth." They are out or prison onball. Their champion, George Francis Train,still occupies /a cell contiguous to Stokes'sIn the Tombs/being In an obstinate mood andreluslog to give ball. There ls some likelihoodof a disturbance at Cooper Institute to-mor¬

row night, and of a refusal by the venerablePeter Cooper of the ball to Ihe lessees.John Brougham's second new play of the

season, which was brought out on Mondaynight at the Union Square Theatre, ls not a

success. He has been quite unfortunate inhU literary ventures this season.Daly, redlvlvus, calls the old Unitarian

Church, on Broadway, In which his companywill reappear a week from Tuesday, toe "NewFirth Avenue Theatre." The "Avenue" isseveral blocks off. NTM.

lo "8CRAPE ACQUAINTANCE.''-To "scrape ac¬

quaintance" comes to us from the Roman Em¬peror Hadrian. He waa at tbe public bathsoí e day, whoo he saw one of his veteran sol¬diers scraping his body with a tile. Th it waa

such poor luxury tbat Hadrian ordered thathis old comrade should be supplied with more

suitable cleansing materials, and also withmoney. On a subsequent occasion, when theEmperor again went lo the bs tb, tbe spectaclebefore him was highly amusing. A ac re ofold soldiers who had fought cud r Hadrianwere standing m the water, and eaoh waa cur¬

rying himself with a tile and wincing at theaelf-infiioied rubbing. The Emperot perfeotlyunderstood what he nw and wbatwssthepur»pose of the sight. "Hal hal" he exclaimed,.?Yon bad better scrape one another, my goodfellows." He added: ''You certainly shall notsorape acquaintance with me,"

CHRIST OBUBCH.

A Sketch of tts History.[From the Monthly Becord.]

On the sixth day of July, 1854. ChristianHanckei, D. D., rector oí Mt Paul's Church,Radcllffeboro', me Bev. P. Trapier Keith,rector of St. Michael's, the Bev. Edward Phil¬lips, Messrs. Edwin Heriot, T. AlexanderBrough ion. Charles D. Carr. Joseph Prévost,Bobert H..Clarkson, Fred. ¿.Ford, EdwardB.White, aud Colonel John Phillips met at theProtestant Episcopal Library Boom, on Chal¬mers street, at me Instance of ihe. Rev. Mr.Phillips-, who among some old papers belong¬ing to the late Bishop Gadsden, had found Mrs.Lucretia Ruder fie a grant, and was most anx¬ious to have an Episcopal Cmirch erected onihe land donated o y that lady. The Rev. Mr.Phillips explained the object of the meeting,urged the Importance of an Episcopal Churchlu ihe sumiros of the city, the good which ltoould accomplish by the ministration ot Itsservices and by the establishment of a Sunday-BOhool, and suggested that the lay gentlemenpresent would constitute themselves the ves¬

trymen and wardens of the church, which de¬sired to be called "Christ Church." His sug¬gestions were accepted, and Messrs. CharlesD. Carr, Joseph Prévost, Robert H. Clarkson,Fred. A. Fwrd, Edward B. White and ColonelJohn Phillips became the vestrymen andMessrs. Edwin Heriot and T. AlexanderBroughton, the wardens. The Rev. Dr. Hanck¬ei und the Kev. Mr. Keith then verbauy assign¬ed all their rights, powers and (merest astrustees under Mrs. Badcliffe'd grant to thevestry, and the Bev. Mr. Phillips was unan!-mouty elected rector. H*» Immediately enteredon the discharge of his parochial duties; nehired a room on Nunan street where be helddivine service regtilary on even forenoon andafternoon of tue Lura's day; he visited thepoor »nd mose In the neighborhood wno he-longea to no church; looked after children as

pupils for the Sunday-scuool, and undertookihe atti nous task of rawing funds by subscrip¬tion wlih which to build the church. By hisown personal applications ho collected thesum ot one ibousand. aud thirty eight dollars,as Bbown In bis prívale memoranda, now Inthe possession of bis broiher, Colonel Phillips/He labored earnestly and faithfully until ibe26th of September, 1864, wheo, from over¬taxed energies, he sickened and died. Mr.James H. Qulnby. then a candidate for orders,acted as lay reader and upon his ordinationwas succeeded by Mr. J. Mercier Green, notyet ordained. At a regular meeting of thevestry, Messrs. Edward B. White, EdwinHeriot and Colonel Phillips were appointed acommittee on the church building. ColonelWhite drew the plan wbioh waa adopted; acontract was entered Into for its erection andsome progress was made, when the work was

slopped for want of muds. A few ol the vestryai tempted to raise subscription* with which lofinish the building, bul tcelr efforts provedfruit less. From a high respect for the memoryofhis brother. Colonel Phillips then coniractedwith a nul ld ei for the completion of ihe edl-noe, and on the 6th ol January, 1858, lt wasconsecrated bv Bishop Davis. Mornlug Prayerwas said by Bev. Cranmore Wallace and Rev.Dr. Marshall, ihe Sentence of Consecration byBev. Dr. H*nckel, the Ante-Communion serv¬ice by the Bishop and a sermon by Bev. C. C.Plnckney. There we represent In the chancel,Bishop Davis, Dr. HuncKel, Dr. Marshall, Rev.Cranmore Wallace, Rev. C. P. Gadsden, Bev.C. C. Pinckney, Bev. W. H. Hauckel and theRey. J. M. Green, rector.

gular,y continued uni li June lat,lS62. when therectorwas obliged to remove io another fieldof labor. During the rectorship of the Bev.Mr. Green, he baptised fourieen adults, andflitv-iour children, officiated at seventy-threebm lal , and solemmz-d ll marriages, andduring the same pei iud the Bishop confirmedtweniy six persons. In the summer of 1862,Edwin Heriot, E-q., one of the wardens, died.No higher tribute can be paid to his memory,than that of the Bev. Mr. Green-which hasbeen found among the papers nf ihe church.From June 1st, 1862, to July, lb72, a period ofteu years, the church has oeen cLseu, but tt isnow reopened under the rectorship of ihe Bev.Mr. Green,wlih the following Vestry: Wardens-Henry P. Archer, J. Moultrie Lee.Vestrymen-A. H. Hayden. A. C. Kaufman, A. P. Ot 1B, A.Duly, Jr., H. E. Vincent, W. W. Kale, E. J.White. On ihe afternoon of the 9ih Sundayafter frinliy, B shop Howe preached an ableaud Impressive aermon; he invoked the Divine

blessiug upon the good work which had been

unaenakeD, and expressed the hope that lt

might lead to suceasful results. Since thatday. a Sunday-school has oeeu organized, thechildren ot the neighborhood have been gath¬ered together io receive Instruction In orderthat they may acquire that religious know¬ledge which will make them wise unto sal¬vation, and their parents have been '.-.rited byihe church bell io the cervices of ihe sanc¬

tuary.Such is a Bketoh of the history of Christ
