Cuantratox, Sept. 8, 1865. ‘THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION ip this city for members of the Convention has been an triumph of the old politicians, The aggregate number of votes polled was eleven hundred and ninety.two— about one-third of the votes usually cast at elections before the war. The highest number of votes received by any one candidate was eight hundred and eighty-one, which were polled fer the Hon, Charles Macbeth, former Mayor of the city. Collector Mackey, the principal can. didate on the “Union Ticket,” received but one hundred and thirty-seven votes, A marked feature in the counting of the votes was that nearly two-thirds of the tickets in the various ballot boxes were written, showing the per- sonal preferences of the voters. THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDA’ The following are the names of the successful candi- dates and their political characteriatics before the war:— ©, Macbeth, Co-operationist. G. W. Williams, Union. H, D. Leseane, Union. Ed. Frost, Co-operationist, W. H. Gilliland, Union. A. 0. Andrews, Union. P.'C. Gaillard, Go-operat’st. Aifred Huger, Union. Jas.Conner,Co-operationist. Wm. Ravenel, Union. Jno. A. Wagner,Co-operat’st. John Schnierle, Union, H. Gourdin, Union. P. J. Coogan, Union. C. H, Simonton, Union. W. M. Martin, unknown, F, Melchers, Co-operat’st. Rt.Rev, P, N. Lynch, Union. W. S. Henerey, Secession. Jas. Rose, Co-operationist, VIEWS OF THR CITIZENS ON THR ISSUE8 PRESENTED BY THR ELECTION, Election day passed off very quietly. No soldiers were permitted about the polls. General Bennett’s ordere to the officers of the day were that no guard should be stationed at any of the ward precincts, unless special request was made by the masagers. No request was made necessary. The citizens generally are very much pleased witb the | result, and deny that any issue of unionist or secoasion- jet was raised in the selection and election of candidates. ‘Yhey claim that they are all Union and nothing else, and that all will cordially support the views and policy of the administration, As an evidence of this intention they instance the election of P. J. Coogan, an open and avowed Unionist during-the war, who received a respect- able and successful vote. On the other hand, the friends of Dr. A. G. Mackey and the ‘Union ticket” view the result as a complete triumph of the old hunkers and secessionists. The election of Mr Coogan, they say, was effected by that candidate merging himself with the secessionists. The Union men and former friends of Mr. Coogan bave no confidence in any good resulting from his election, They also gay the most monstrous falsehoods, calumnies and slanders were heaped upon Dr, Mackey’s personal character to effect hie defeat. He was openly and uni- formly denounced in street conversations as a traitor to bis native State in her time of trouble and distress, Many of the Masonic brotherhood opposed Dr. Mackey on ac- count of his visit North, which they characterized as a begging tour, notwithstanding that visit was made at the urgent solicitations of his Northern brethren. In fact, the Union men claim that all sorts of lies and tricks were resorted to for the purpose of keeping their candidate— the friend of Unionism, popular rights and progressive improvements—away from the convention, fearful of his intellectual abilities aud infuence in uprooting oligarchy and aristocracy. Such are the statements you will hear from the two wides at the hotels, in the stores, on the streets, or at Private residences. REPORT OP COLLECTOR MACKEY'S REMOVAI. A report was in circulation that Collector Mackey. was to be displaced from the Custom House and the former incumbent, Gollestor Colcock, reietatéd. It wag said "| that thie report arose from a letter received Kere, written by ® member of Congress, stating that Collector Mackey’s nomisetion would not be confirmed by the Senate. This Feport, raised imatediately before the election, also ex- ‘ited the indignetion of the Doctor's friends, who re- garded it an another trick (o inflame popular prejudice seainst him. They believe in this cage his enemies will ‘be defeated. The greatest objection to Dr. Mackey by the old fogies arises, his friends say, from the President having hovored him with an office to which only the chivalry are enti forgetting that President Johnson, like the present Collector of Charles- they sult p point Tovthe language so freely used by theo IAge 80 u e pany in reference to Preeidout Johnson as va tal and resident Lincoln ag ‘‘a rail splitter.’ THE ELECTION RETURN® from ee ee the State come in slowly.

Yesterday, in pursuance of a call from Lientenant Linguist, Inspector, the presidents of the different ward committees assembled at General Ben- | nett’s headquarters to hear his suggestions made in be- half of the suffering. General Bennett has made strenuous exertions in behalf of the poor who crowd upon him daily for relief, So far he has been very successful. “Lieutenant Linguist also de- serves the gratitude of the public for his efforts and | cheerful co-operation with the General in carrying out | his views. In the upper portion of the city are | ous destitute families, country refugees, &e. Mr. | Kirk, chairman of the comnnitee of the ward in these poor people reside, has been exceedingly activ and diligent, and, in connection with Messrs, G. W. Wil- liams and John F. Poppenheim, relieved much misery and distress among many too proud to let their condition be known. A MOUSE OF INDUSTRY | has been proposed by General Bennett, The object is apnounced in the following circular :— {a meeting held at the Post Headquarters of the city of Charleston, by th niltees of the different wa ig poor, of which W. H. land, Esq., was prosident, the following suggestions w: ceived from General Bennett, commanding post, and taken into consideration. The object being the establish. ment of a house of industry, for the purpose of furnish- ing work to those at present unable to obtain employ- ment. To attain this much desired purpose, it is to be hoped that all the citizens will liberally contribute all in thoir power towards the success of this charitable under: | taking. The subjoined extract will in a measure give all interested an idea of the plans entertai First—Let the present ward comm canvass the city for contributions in m; | all descriptions of goods—dry goods, | ing, hats, shocs, hardware of every dexcription, chanical tools of all kinds—also, to make # strong ap- peal to Northera capitalists and’ philonthiropjats in ald. of the suffering poor of Charleston, aceepting anything that | ig offered, either in money or goods, After some discussion, in which all the diferent gen@e men comprising the above committees gave their various | views, the following gentlemen were appointed to report further on the subject, ata meeting to be held by the different Ward committees, on Monday the LUth instant, at five o'clock P, M. :—G.

A petition from the planters on Cooper and Ashley rivers, drawn upand signed by thirty-three of their uum: ber, was recently sent to General Bennett for action. It was originally intended to be sent to Geileral Gillmore. It will be seen that it calls the Gen ral's attention to sev- oral very important, if not vital, subjects. The following 8 a Copy — . y, and also in ready minde Cnarvestox, 8, C., Angust 29, 1865. To Brigadier General W. F. 'Beysert:— Guxenar—The uundersiened, planters on the Cooper and Ashley rivers, respectfully call to your attention the un fortunate condition of affairs in the section of country where they reside. They will do so in as brief 2 manner a8 possible. On many plantations the freed negroes de- cline emphatically to enter into any contrast with the owners of the soil; on every plantation whegs a contract has been made and approved, the suid freed have violated, in every particular, both the letter and ptr of the agreement existing between them aud the landholder of the country. Instead of applying themselves to habits of industry and work, thelr time is spent in idleness and sleep, Owning, as they now do, small boats and vessels, unlicensed by proper authority, they bring every article they can seize to the city for sale, including rice, corn, wood, staves, &c, ‘We as loyal citizens are disposed to do everything in our power to acccommodate ourselves to the existing condition of affairs, and as such fully call upon you for aid to protect us under the terme of our contracts, that our interests may not be sacrified by the impro- vidence and idleness of those freed persons. » pa We suggest for your consideration the following plan and trust your Judgment will be favorably inclined thereto: Fird—We recommend that the boats or veaselé now owned or Lo be owned by these freadmen should not be used unless Ucened by some F authority, and the captains be held malble for t roperty found therein. veieront—-That he iy of any kind be found therein nging to a, the captain and crew of «nid vessel be as the Provost Courts #ball direct by fine and inpeegespent. ‘That no persons shall be allowed to sell produce or any artiele coming from sald plantations unless they are pro vided with a certifoate from the owner or agent of the tation hich t! reside, stating that the rty belong to them apd specihen tite ibd and aimonut; alvo thal { peraobn be warned not to buy unless such certificate is Unless some check be placed wu the ¢ already established the crops soon to be rested will be dis- 4 of before any division is made with the owner of fhe soil. We respectfully request that military aid be ven us, either to compel a fair fulfilment of our con- on the of the freed or, im case that be impracticable, some aid be given us to remove from the plantations such negroes, who, having signed con- tracts, refuse to work, as well ag those who persistently refuse to enter into any terms whatever, as also those who, having no visible means of support, reside on the oa perfectly idle and in no way connected there- with, ‘We very soxtously-impreee upon the importance of ir intervention. river. eptirel; - Tocked.

At about one o'clock yesterday afternoon the Clearing House Assocation convened at their chamber, at the cor- ner of Wall and William streets, for the purpose of re- coiving the roport Of a Cothmittee, the members of which, at a previous session, bad been instructed to consider the expediency of adopting a plan for the redemption of national bank notes, All the city banks were represented by their presidents, aud the meeting was decidedly well attended by prominent financiers and business men. Clearing House Association, occupied the ehair, and Mr, W. A. Cooper, the manager of the institution, officiated as secretary. The proceedings were conducted in the strictest privacy, though the sabjoined details were gathered after {ts adjournment. The Presidents of the Banks of Commerce and North America objected to the reception of the report, claiming that the subject was beyond the jurisdiction and control of a Clearing House Association. This objection was dis- cussed for some time, when one of the gentlemen present thought that it might be well to remedy the obstacle by reewing the adjournment of the meeting as a Clearing louse Association, and immediately resuming business asaconvention of bank officers, which resolution was unanimouely adopted. A second gentioman then moved a postponement for the purpose of giving some of the banks who were pot admitted to exchange at the Clearing House an oppor- tunity of attending meeting. To the adoption of this Bu tion Mr. Coe and others were violently opposed, on oye! that as the Cleazing House bad refused to admit banks with whom it was. proposed to consult: on the mre no adjournment should take place be- caure jt ‘The motion before the house ‘was then fost. to offer a resolution expreesive of .
