We learned yes terday from Mr Richard Hilton that, by the runaway accident on Friday afternoon his sister, Mrs Cheek, was more seriously injur ed than bis wife, being very much bruised and rendered insensible for a while after the fall. An infant child of Mrs Cheek, ten months old, fell on its head and is still in a stupor.The other two children and Mrs Hil ton are less injured. Mr Ray was confined to his room jresterday in Consequence of his injuries. We hope that all of the parties will soon recover. Mr Hilton does not complain against the young men driving the buggy which ran into that one in which his wife, sister and the children were." Capt. Plato Durham. Several days ago a communication signed "Burke," from the Piedmont Press, was published without com ment in this paper, in which communica tion it was stated that the Obseevee had ex pressed "great fear" that Capt. Plato Dur ham would carry all the counties "this side of the ridge." We said nothing of the sort, but what we did say was that "it is said," &c. We expressed no "fears," opinions, -or anything else about the matter. The correspondent says : "The editors of that paper referring to the Obseevee must have a very imperfect knowledge of the po litical status of the Piedmont region." And "Burke" must have a very imperfect under standing if he imagines that he has any real ground of complaint against us. ' r ' - . Court Yesterday. Court opened at the usual hour yesterday morning- The Grand Jury handed into the Court a presentment against the city for tolerating certain bawdy houses. The presentment, however, was withdrawn and a nol. pros, entered. The case of the State t. J- P. Green, Bob Turner, and Bill Capps, was called. Green failed to answer and a sci fa was entered against hi nl and his securities. Capps and Turner, who had been in jail, were remand ed, and the case postponed until Monday. Sam Goodman, colored, who was men tioned yesterday as having been convicted of larceny, was brought into Court and sen tenced to two years in thePenitentiarf. The charge against him was for stealing the har ness from a horse of Rev. W. W. Pharr, when it was hitched in a back lot in this city. Tins occurrence tooic place about a year ago. State vs. Sam Goodman again for larceny. Found guilty, but judgment was not prayed, and judgment was entered for the cost simply- This comprised all the business worthy of note during the morning, and afcnoon Court adjourned over to Monday morning at 91 o'clock. Very little business was done last week, and it is very-likely that the criminal docket will consume three ?or four days of this week. Resolutions of the Independent Hook and Ladder Company.

'' ;r ; . . . , . i Mr Walker moyed the salary be the same as it wa$ for Ihe last term. , Col Williams- raoved to amend by-giving the Marshal a commission of 4 ' per cent on his ' collections and fees; and ' urged his amendment as the better plan' and more just to bV)th the Manhatand the city, by which Mr Grier suggested, that the Marshal must already be sufficiently urged to his duty in collecting by reference to his bond, which' was oh file, and made him responsible; Mr McNinch was opposed to the amendment, and preferred the old mode of paying the Marshal a fixed salary and requiring him; by sufficient bond, to collect the city dues-, and making him responsible therefor. . ! . , Finally, the substitute was lost, and Mr Walker's motion prevailed, fixing said sal ary at $300 and fees as before. Col Williams moved that the Board elect two cotton weighers' Mr McNinch suggest ed that it was understood that the cotton buyers were unwilling that the second weigher should be appointed by the Board, and thought it would be better to postpone the election at present. Col Wlsaid he had poken to several of the cotton merchants, though not all, and thought they, as a body preferred that the Board should elect two. Mr Davidson thought we certainly needed two weighers, as affording better facilities for accommodating the farmers, who disliked to be detained here over night when they brought their cotton, fec, and moved that the question be deferred until the Board could consult the cotton buyers as to the best course to adopt. After further discus sion, Mr Davidson's motion was lost, and the Board proceeded to elect two cotton weigher; voting for each separately. Messrs Matthews and Davidson were requested to hold the election which resulted as follows : On the first and second ballots the vote stood, C H Elms, 3; J Duls, 1; J W Sprinkle and W H Trezevant 3. On the third bal lot Mr Elms received 6 votes, Mr Trezeyant and Mr Duls 1, and the Mayor announced that Mr Elms was elected. - The election for the second weigher resulted as follows: For Mr J W Sprinkle, 6; for Mr Trezevant, 3; and for Mr Duls 2, and Mr Sprinkle was de cfaretfe1ec&.'"
