Putt:.—On Friday night, the 23 inst., we were again aroused by the alarm of fire , caused by the burning - of an out building belonging to the Colored school. The fire was extinguished before m nen damage had been (bole. Had it not been for some of our citizens, who aided in extinguishing the fire, the school building might have been destroyed. It is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. The firemen, as usual, were in good time to render assistance; but it being a small building, the citizens found no great trouble in checking the tire, without the aid of the hose. A nontr.—There was a tight near the A. IL E. Church on Saturday evening, be tween two colored men, all about the pos session of two dollars and a-half. One charged the other 'with having stolen it, and proceeded to inflict several severe blows in further proof of his chaege. After a little rough-aud-tumble fight, in which the weaker sex participated orally, the crowd dispersed. We wonder where our "Special" police force was, that they were not present to keep the peace, us this riot occurred in the neighborhood of "Tow Ilill"—their pre cinct. It appears when their services are most needed they are absent; and where not required they are present.

CONS ?MACY AGAINST QUALIFIED Vo- TE GS-A Fraud Attem9Ced.—Last week we ME " We unders•and that this conspiracy of Grier, if successful, will disfinuchi•ie about 250 qualified voters, whose names have been left off the Borough Assessment Book." The amiable assistant editor or the Her ald republishes the above, with a lot of balder-dash about the county lists of 1569 and IS7O denying our charge, and asking us to make the amend° honoraille. We de cline, as we are ready to sulyaantlate it, and therefore endorse every statement it contains. To prove it, we invite the atten tion of our readers to the animus of the few choice sentences, written by assessor Grier, in the lie? aid of the 22nd inst. " :None of the niggers are assessed for borough purposes, except the class above mentioned (Free Holders,) and consequent ly their right of suffrage for Borough offi cers is curtaikd for this year. This being the case, it will not require ti great effort on the part of the democracy to elect the offi cers above named." Our democrattc official knows the duties of an assessor, at least it is presumed he does ; and that among other things ho is required to "add to the list, the names of any quali fied voter who shall be known to him," and whose names are not on previous lists. His duty is a plain one. But the conspi racy to defraud lies not alone with regard to the colored people; but the names of nearly 250 white men have been le.t off the borough list, and among these are well known citizens, merchants doing business on Locust street, whom the assessor meets almost every day. Had not the courts interfered in this nice little democratic pro gramme, about 400 citizens of Columbia would have been disfrachised. Besides these public revelations of the fradulent in tent of our assessor, we have oth r means knowing his participation in the business. The whole subject sithply resolves itself into a revolting outrage upon neaceful,law abiding citizens, and had it not been for the Interference of the cour,s,the election would have gone (partially) by default. The whole affair presents the sublime spectable of democratic officials, asses sor and all,tryiug to cheat the Bormgla out of S2OO, and 400 citizens out of their just rights. It is an unparalleled case of official malfeasance, a democratic dodge, the like of which has never been beard of before,ez:- cept in New York and in the 4111 Ward Philadelphia.

DEATH OF SHERIFF PFAIILER.—Our readers will be pained to learn of the sud den death of Christian Ptahler, Esq., High sheriff of this county, which occurred at his residence, in the York county prison, on Seta day evening last. Sheriff Filthier had been in his usual healtu, up to the time of the• sad occurrence, and attended to the alines of his office, during the day, and re turned to his homy in the evening, and was engaged in conversation with his brother in-law, when he was suddenly taken ill, and, in a few moments expired. Sheriff Ptahler was widely and favorably known in this county, :Lid his sudden death will cast a gloom over many a 1 heart in our tnidst. Ile was a good citizen, an excellent officer, a kind ffither and husband and a true friend. His death was cursed by dis ease of the heart.—York Trite DCMOCrat. 1.30 P. 2.00 " CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—J6bn Elrotel was arrested and t .ken before Esquire_Evans, on Friday the fl3d inst., upon complaint of George Badger, ror beating a horse over the head with a club, on Tuesday and Thursday of last week and which was re ferred to in such strong language by our correspondent. It being proven by a num ber of witnesses that the defendant beat his horse most inhumanly over the head, be was convicted and ordered to pay a fine of ten dollars, one-half thereof for the use of the county, and the other hal:, at the re quest of the informer to be paid to the "Home" at Lancaster, and pay costs of prosecution and stand commiited until the sentence is complied Nvitn.

The lEolian Quintette of Columbia, and John Hart, the popular elocutionist, of this city, gave an entertainment at Columbia, on the evening of the gird inst., to one of the largest and most fashionable audiences ever assembled in Odd Fellows' Hall. It represented the 0/Cc and intelligence of Co ln bia. The Quintette Club rendered their selections in exquisite sty'o, surpass ing any former efforts, and eeelving the most enthusiastic evidence of appreciation by the audience. "Tommy don't go." by T. J. Clepper, "Kiss me once more, Mother," by B. F. Mullen, and " Go down, Moses," by the Quartette, were very fine. The readidgs by Mr. Hart were ably and artistically rendered, his selections vary ing from the grave to the comic, all very appropriate to the occasion. His mimic representations fairly convulsed the audi ence. He was frequently and rapturously encoved. His rendering of Henry Ward Beecher's" Honored dead," the last on the programme, was a masterly ellbrt. The entertainment was a grand success, and the audience left the Ball reluctantly at the close of the performance. The proceeds are to be devoted to erecting a tomb-stone over the grave of Major Kelsey. Professor Unseld, musical director, presided at the organ, and sang, "Open the door, dear Ar rah, for me," atm several other songs, with fine taste and effect. Messrs. T. J. Wright, alto, and S.

Notes of Travel through Georgia and Florida. Mn. EDITOIC:—As all the communica tions which have appeared in your paper concerning Florida, have related to that portion of the state, known as Bast Florida, a few notes description of a trip through the Western section of the state may not be uninteresting to your numerous readers : We started from Philadelphia on the oth of August, and passing through Baltimore and Washington, reached Richmond, Va. about four o'clock on the morning of the 10th. The country between Richmond end Petersburg still bears unmistakable evi dence of the struggle which was there maintained, and we felt that we were pass ing over sacred ground; ground baptized with the blood of thousands of bravo men. In the evening wo reached Wilmington, N. C., a place historical during the late war, as it was near here the great naval battle was fought, which resulted in the capture of " Fort Fisher." A ride of twelve hours brought us to Charleston, S. C. This has been and still is a beautiful place; but as though sufrering from a j ust retribution for that audacity which prompted thorn to lire the first gun upon the American flag, it ap pears to have received a shock from which it has never recovered ; but little business is transacted there. The grass grows in the streets, and the city presents a sombre, gloomy appearance. The tide to Savannah, Georgia, is through the most desolate country it was ever our misfortune to witness ; huge swamps over which the railroad passes on trestle work, and the stations dignified by the name of towns, consisting of two or three shanties; the occupants of which are ne groes—none other could exist in such a wilderness of desolation. Savannah, situated on the Savannah river is a growing, thriving city, with a popula tion of about 30,000 inhabitants. It is the largest commercial city in Georgia, and six or seven steamers leave there every week. for Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, laden with rice, cotton, and the products of the Southern stales. We left Savannah on the 13th for Dain bridge, Ga., via. the Gull' R. R., passing through largo plantations of rico and cot- ton, and immense forests of pine trees. One of the characteristics of the St uthern R. R., is that every passenger train has at tached thereto a soparato car for the use of the negroes, who, from long servitude have acquired habits of obedience and respect, and never attempt to enforce the XIV amendment to the constitution, - by enter ing any of the other cars. At Bainbridge we embarked on the large and commodious steamer " Spray," com manded by Capt. Marks, a gentleman whose kind attention and courteous de portment greatly enhanced the pleasure of the trip. After a ride of twenty four hours down the Flint and Apalachicola rivers, wo reached Apalachicola, Florida ; a city situ ated upon the Apalachee bay, about nine miles from the gulf of Mexico, with a pop ulation of 3000 inhabitants. It is ono of the most thriving cities in Florida, and has the finest harbor on the Gulf coast. Two lines of steamers ply between Columbus, Ga. and Apalachicola, by means of which much of the cotton raised in Georgia, Florida and Alabama is shipped to Apalachicola, where it is re-shipped to Northern and European markets. Steamers from New Orleans to Havana stop hero to receive and unload freight. To the citizens of Apalachicola, the custom house officers and Lieutenant T. E. Ashmead, commanding the U.S. Revenue Cutter "Petrel," wo are under many obligations, for their kindness to us while sojourning among them. The vast resources of this section of Flor ida, consist in the abundant and luxuriant growth of its timber; 'immense forests of pine, cypress, live oak and juniper extend on both sides of the Apalachicola river ; white a number of navigable creeks flowing into the river, make nearly all the timber accessible, and easily managed without the expense of hauling. Northern capitalists realizing the fact that the pine forests of the north will soon be used up, are purchasing largely of these lauds. One of the largest enterprises in which northern capital has been hero in vested, is the purchase by the " Apalachi cola Lumber and Land Company," of a heavily timbered tract containing over ten thousand acres; from this they can manu facture from one to two hundred millions feel of lumber, and sell the land after it has been cleared, front five to ten dollars per This portion of the state is peculiarly adapted to grazing the grass closely re sembling the celebrated blue grass of Ken tucky and Tennessee. Many of the inhab itants, who formerly estimated their wealth by the number of negroes they owned, now compute it by the number of cattle. One gentleman informed me he owned over 2000 bead, all running wild in the woods, branded with his private mark. Under the guidance of Wm. 11. Neel, the gentlemanly and accommodate ug post- mas ter at Ricoes Bluff, we rode on horse-back a distance of eighty-five miles, through the counties of Franklin and Liberty, and wo'•e thus enabled to see that section of the MBE The agricultural resources are sugar cane, coat, coLiou, Scupperuory grapes and lust, but not least, oranges. The orange trees grow to the size of our apple trees, and yield from 2500 to 4000 oranges each; these sell j eating at, from three to five dollars per hundred at the grove. The rivers and creeks aro filled. with fish and alligators; the forests abound with deer and bear. It wt•as our good fortune to kill a rattle snake, measuring six feet live Melte., in length, with fourteen rattles, the largest we ever sass The inhabitants are kind, hospitable and courteous, and seem anxious that Northern. men should settle among them. What, they require to develop the state is energy and capital. Although, we spent almost the entire month of August in Florida, where it is reasonable to suppose the heat would be in tense, and that much sickness would pre vail; it is almost incredible, and to us it scorned an impossibility but the mercury in the thermoine.,er did not range above SS., and eve! y one appeared to enjoy most ex cellent health. We returned to New York by steamer, well pleased wi th our trip. J. D. C.

There was a pleasant serenade at the res idence of Robert Crane, Esq., by the Co lumbia Cornet Band on Tuesday evening. DIE CLEGOET MANDAMUS CASE. —ll o mandamus case from Columbia came up for argument on Monday afternoon, Col. 0. J. Dickey and Major A. C. Reinwhl appear ing as attorneys for potitioner, and H. M. North for Borough Connell and Borough Assessor and Collector of Coln mbi . It is the duty of the Council to prepare the assessment list, the assessor of the Council being required to make his dupli cate from the list of the assessor for county purposes. This the Democratic Council, and their assessor, IV. Hayes Grier,neglect ed to do—the object clearly beingto prevent the voting of some ono hundred and fifty colored voters, as well as many white vo ters, at the ensuing borough elections in October. Interrogatories we:e filed and an swers made, from which it appears that Mere were let off the borough list four hun dred and lily names of pet sons assessed on the county list. From the testimony it was shown that Clegget had not made personal application to fitter Mr assessment, but bad goue for that purpose, when Grier evaded him by getting on the cars and going away. The case was fully argued on both sides, when toe Court dismissed the petition for mandamus, demand not having been proved, but directed that the Council should prepare the duplicate for the borough election to conform to the county assessment, thus virtually sustaining the object of the petition, to secure Mb right of voting at the borough election to a large class of colored as well as of white voters. This was a bold and reckless scht ate on the p.u•t of the Democratic Town Council to prevent the polling of the colored voie,hop ing by this high-banded measure to secure at Mt ther lease of power in the borough government of Columbia. - Toe A , tornev for Connell contented that the Borough Assessment was made in June, and it was impossibie to make an extra as sessment at this tune, bat it was shown that in the election of 1569, Council had passed a resolution instrue nig the asse.sor to prepare "an ea:Wt. assessment list of all per,ons whose names uppetued on the kvt days' assessment List of t;ie District Asses sor." The attempted outrage upon the right of suffrage of electors in Columbia, by those whose duly it Is to enforce and proiect the laws, was fully exposed in the light of judi cial investigation, and is but another nk: in the long chain of evidence on record against the corrupt Democracy.—Lancaster Zap ress. Cott:Num.—A special meeting of Council was held on Tuesday evening. Messrs. Arms, Dietz, Baker, Crane, Craig, Detwi er, Hippey, 'Nourse and Patton where pre sent. On motion of Mr. Craig, Council ordered an extra assessment in conformity with the order of the Court. Mr. Craig offered the following Resolved, That W. lf. Grier, Borough Assessor be authorized to sit at the Town Ball every evening (except Saturday and Sunday) from 7 to S o'clock, from Sept. 2Sth, until and including October 10th for the purpose of assessing for Borough purpose and that he also wake as,essments at his office during the day (Sundays excepted) between the hours of SA.

Au amendment reducing the salary to adapted and the resolution as amended, passed Mr. Detwiler offered the following which was adopted: I:esolved, That the BoromTh Tax Collec tor be requested to be present with the Borough Assessor every evening in the Town Hall untill the day of election, anti also on election clay, to receive taxes, and that hand-bilis be pcsted throughout the town giving the people due notice of the fact. On motion of Mr. Nourse it was agreed that $3O be appropriated to pay H. M. North for his services as Counsel in the Manda- Mr=! —We have no objections to the mandamus foe, as our democratic members no doubt felt quite relieved on account of the legal informality by which they escaped the pen alties of the law; but we, as well us nine tenths of the people of Columbia,evorely disapprove the course of Council in refus ing to pay Constable McGinnis wages for the time he spent in doing more than his duty—in doing that for which the Borough should have given any detective or police officer a hand-some reward.

TEE ENTERTAINMENT ON FRIDAY EVEN- Es.m, by the .rEelians and Prof. .Tolm Hart of Lancaster was a rare musical and litera ry treat. The audience comprised the dile and intelligence of Columbia, and their presence was a flattering ovation to both the club and Mr. Hart. The enthusiastic applause with which both were always greeted, and repeatedly encored showed that they had before them an appreciative audience, capable of judging of the merit of the exercises. The musical programme embraced choice trios, quartettes, songs and choruses, inter spersed with a few comic selections, and was varied enough to suit the tastes of every body. The .2EoHans never sang bet ter. Prof. Unsold, Musical Director, pre sided at the organ. The Solos, by B. F. Mullen and T. J. Clepper, were very tine. In the choruses, Messrs. T. J. Wright and S. B. Clepper, excelled any former °flints. In the comic songs they were irresistible. Prof. II:u•t in his selections, varying from the sacred to the comic, held the audience in a kind of enchantment. His rendering of "Wounded," his mi MID ic representations and the portrayal of the emotions in Henry Ward Beecher's "Honored Dead" elicited the warmest applause, and establishes in our minds, the superior artistic ability of Mr. Hart as a dramatic reader and elocu tionist. Under the inspiration of the latter selection, the audience seemed spell-bound, and at the crisis of the piece,a point so well known to elocutionists, the effect was grand. Mr. Hart has succeeded:in acquir ing, what many professed elocutionists lack—a conception of the feelings and ezno tions, which have furnished the idea ; and he has also a remarkable power of portray ing to an audience these emotions. llis efforts here have received the warmest praise. —lt is proposed by many of our promi nent citizens to give Mr. Hart a benefit. Vre warmly applaud the proposition and hope it will be posited forward. Our peo ple lake an interest in entertainment and instruction or this kind, and there is none so cheap or so valuable. SCETOOL DISCI Vll.lNE.—livery right-mind ed citizen will grant that discipline in our fourteen graded schools can not be main tained, unless parents, teachers, directors and pupils unite, and make the school room a place of "co-operative" labor, of mutual concessions and kindness. The parent should teach the child that it litust obey the teacher; that obedience to the rules of the school room is an absolute condition of that child's admission ; that obedience means that the child must learn the lessons which a reasonable teacher imposes, must have the books which the law prescribes, and must conform with all the minor YegLl ia lions of the school room itself. So far the duties of the child go. In addition, the parent should always sustain the teacher in any reasonable punishment which he finds necessary to inflict in maintaining order. The school room is bis--east to. and he must exact obedience in every c .se. If the child fail% in any one of these nec essary duties, the teacher has the right re served to hint to prescribe the mode of en forcing obedience. The teacher's duties are well known, and may be summed up in two words—teaching and governing. If they transcend their powers and rights, the remedy lies in mak ing complaint either to the higher principal of the school, or to the school board, or in default of both, in aggravated cases, to the supreme Isw of the hind. It will be seen by the proceedings of the school boaM that complaint has been made iu one case, and foul the good judgment,as well as ability of the board, we believe they will be satisfac torily adjusted. Our complainant in this case, will bear in mind that the hoard has only oaf', Mr. Young in it, but that the re mainder are gentlemen, woo have the in terest of our schools at heart, and will see that discipline is maintained. Parents should never bring their griev ances to the school room, but lay them be fore such members of the school board us they know Will give them an impartial au dience. No parent or guardian has a right to interfere with the laws of the school room, except through the proper channel— the Pi ineipal or the Board of Directors. Sad Atrair—X Youth Accidentally Shoots His compauiou. An accidental and fatal shooting affair oc curred yesterday allot-noon in West Lampe ter townsht p, by which Samuel 1:yle. aged about fifteen, and son of John Kyle of East Orange fir Nvt , was al mosei net a ntly Hied. It seems that in the morning between i and 8 o'clock the deceased, in connect ion with James Ruch:man Reese, son of A. Shultz Reese, the restu rant keeper of North Queen street, and familia-1v known a mon et his companions as "Buck." and another youth named John Gorman proceeded to the country on a shooting expedition, They reached the tavern of Henry Miller in Lam peter where they put up their horse, and then went to the adjoini f 4 fields and groves whore they shot severe I Weds and gray squirrel, young Reese being armed with a heavy donble barreled gun. and Kyle with a sin . gle barreled gam. Gorrnan had no gun. All three youths were of about tile name age. At noon they returned to the tavern where they partook dinner and then started out attain. They had not p:oceed ed tar when Reese shot a bird, had reloaded his gun, and was in the net of placing a cap upon tile nipple. when Kyle picked up sev eral small clods of earth, rine of which Ito threw at Reese. in a playful manner, and which struck the latter on the hand, caus ing him to drop the gun from a perpendicu lar position and at the same time to dis charged the load. Kyle was standing on the opposite side of a narrow read—about ten feet—and directly in front of the gun, and the entire charge of No. li bird shot entered the left side of the face raid head, carrying away the eye, part of the jaw. Kyle sank clown into a golly and died in a few moments. Young Gorman ran to him and said, "Sam. are you hurt ?" There was a motion of the jaws, but no articulate sound was heard. Young Reese became almost frenzied and shouted to Gorman to shoot him as he had killed his best friend. The affair occurred on the farm of John 1 3rack hill's mill. Both bays ran clown to the mill, where they met Mr. Rudolph Le fevre and to whom they stated what had occurred. Mr. Lefevre and several others accompanied the boys to the spot and found Kyle quite dead. As soon as they return ed young Reese extended his arms and ap pealed to those present to shoot him. The guns, however were taken in charge, and Reese wal advised to return to the city. lie did so in company- with Gorman. Reese at, once went to his parents and stated what limb happeLed. Ills mother then ac companied him to the Mayor's °dice, where ho sutrendered himself into the hands of Alderman Fisher. Counsel was procured Reese, but its no testimoney could be token the alderman referred the question to Ron. A. L. Hayes, who decided that Reese won Id have to stand committed until the report of I coronor's inquest, when the case could be had on a habeas corpus. Reese was accordingly removed to the County Prison. This morning Deputy Corner Samuel Y. Myers held an inquest on the body the jury returned a verdict that "Samuel Kyle came to his death by the accidental dis charge of a gun in the hands of James 13. Reese. We have given a brief but clear history of the taair, and, we believe the correct one Young Reese and Kyle were almost. daily comp unions' and were attached to each other like brothers. It is not known that any ill-feeling ever existed between them, and the tragedy which has thrown two fami lies into sorrow, we believe was purely the result of an accident. —Lancaster .Express. Duncio 0 3r rambles through the town this week we noticed many of our stree;s in a dirty condition, especially Locust St. be tween 3rd and 4th sis., in lront of many of the dwe'tings heaox of dirt can be seen, whether by permission of the Ho ongh au thoriiies we know not. It has been inti tooled that one of the " town fathers" was to become tue happy possessor 01 the "huge moan tai os o. dim," but Madame Rumor sometimes errs, and pe ihap - 3 sack is the case this time.
