CITY ?j_?ov_iEi-n*?8_In our rambles on Satur
day, through the western part of the city, we were
.agreeably (surprised at the improvements which
[have beeu made during the last few weeks.
Smith-stvcet, between Vanderhorst and Radcliffe
?treets, is now nearly filled up. The material for
this purpose, wo believe, has been entirely ob
tained fruin the sconrings of the tidal drains. The
Mayor is conferring a great boon upon that part
of the etty by the energy be han displayed in
pushing forward this work.
We have, on a previous occasion, spoken of a
larg? -water lot, reclaimed by the enterprise of Mr.
WAGNER ; now we have the pleasing task of re
cording a further continuation of the work under
the liberal auspices of GEO. A. TKENHOLM, Esq.
The work is being vigorously proseouted, and in
the ?course of another two weeks the Bait marah,
tide, and concomitant unpleasant smell, will be
forever banished from that part of the city. The
sark that will take its place will be a beautiful
jrnament to the adjacent streets ; property must
appreciate in value, to say nothing of the incon
renience hitherto suffered by foot-passengers
through Radcliffe-street, where, not unfirequently
at spring tide, the entire street was overflowed.
THE FAIB on Saturday night was again well at
tended. The dramatis persona:have every reason
io feel gratifiod by the appreciation the public has
bestowed upon their tableaux. The life-pictureB
on Saturday evening were fully as successful au
?those that preceded them.
The first was "Cornelia, the mother of the
Gracchi." The familiar scene was well rendered,
and the fair lady, in her flowing robe of spotlesB
white, personated to the life the proud Roman
matron looking with disdain upon the glittering
droBS, unduly prized by baser minde, consciously
pointing to her li vin?* jewels as the most desirable
of earth's treasures. '
"Norma," the dark-haired Druid priesteBe,
seemed to have caught inspiration from the mys
tic wreath that encircled her brow, expressing
utera and unflinching determination to meet the
kfate she had doomed herself to. Nor could the
beseeching attitudo and prayers of her devoted
riend, and the tender and pitiful glances of im
?Tploring childhood, causo her to waver. AB the
onrtain rose on this group, the band in attend
ance played the plaintive air, "Hear rae, Norma,"
to the delight of the entire audience.
The new and original scene, taken from Chroni
cles, recently brought to light by the laborious
and patient reaoarch of one of our most di at in -
guished antiquarians, formed the third tableau.
The group was charming, representing a numbei
o? stern and grim looking Indians, cdth their well
known pictur esqno costume. The object on whict
??heir attentive gaze was directed waa a huge bol
der of rock, on which was laid the bead " of t
stalwart looking pale-face." One of the savagei
stood above bim with war club raised, ready te
smash his devoted head into " smithereens ;
when lo, at the fatal moment in rushed a beau
tifal Indian maiden, with a most unpronounca
ble name (P-o-c-a-h-o-n-t-a-s), flung herself oi
the prostrato figuro of the " pale-face," ready tt
intercept the blow, and by her tears and entrea
ties prevailed on a bonign looking old gentlemai
j (King POWHATTAN, whOBO daughter we learn ah?
l^was) to pardon the culprit, who, we are informed
*>re the proud military title and aristocratic oli
English name of Captain JOHN SMITH.
I The Fair was about to oloso for the night, whei
a heavy rain commenced to pour down. The gal
liant knights, on finding that the elements bid fai
to remain unpropituoua, went off and procure
1 /hacks to corry the fair ladies to their reapectiv?
" domiciles. Tho beginning of the evening was fail

INO.-The Board WAS called to order about half

dent, W. 8. HAS-E, Esq., in the chair.
The Secretary read the minute a of the last
meeting, which, opon motion, ?vere approved.

GUIDES.
On motion of Mr. MO?SE, these letter? were
laid on tho table.
Mr. JAMES M. WILSON preaentcd the following
memorial for adoption by the Board:
To the Honorable the Senate of (he United States :
The petition of the Board of Trade of the city of
OharlcBton, representing ona hundred and fifty
lirais of Baid city, respectfully Hhoweth, that your
petitioners aro aware that ? Bankrupt Law has
been recently passed by the HOUBO of Representa
tives of tho TJnitod States. Your petitioners believe
this bill, nhotild it pass the Senate and become a
law, will bo highly detrimental to the interests of
the people of tho United States. A war of long
duration has domoralized the public mind'to that
extent that we consider the country ia not in a
condition to meet the law in the proper spirit.
The war debts of eomo of the States having oeen
already rouudiated, your petitioners fear that the
passaRO of a Bankrupt Law will C?UBO a goneral
ropudiation of debts, including Mi two of the States
contracted bofore the war. We are opposed to
the repudiation of auy debt, whether it bo per
sonal, State, or of tho Union. Your petitioners
declare, with pleasuro, that an honorable course
has beon generally adopted between the debtor
and creditor, and no ovidenco has reached your
petitioners of any disDoaition to press those who
aro uuable to pay. Your petitioners beliove the
insolvent laws of tho several States of the Union
will prove abundantly efficient in extreme cases,
where parties are compelled to forco a settlement
with their creditors.
In conclusion, your petitioners pray your honor
able body that the bill in question may not become
the law of the land; and your petitioners, as in
duty bound, will ovor pray.
Mr. WILSON offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the President and Secretary of
the Board of Trade sign the memorial just read
in relation to the passage of a goneral Bankrupt
Law, now before Congress; and that the President
transmit the same to Washington immediately, to
be laid before that body.
After a lengthy and spirited discussion, in which
Messrs. C. H. MOIBE, R. 8. BRUNS and C. E. COURS
eepreaaed thoir reasons for opposing the moinorial,
and^IeBsrs. E. W. MARSHALL, M. STRAUSS, and H.
H. DELEON argued in favor of the measure, the
memorial and resolution were adopted.
On motion, the Board then adjourned.
AFRICAN METHODIST CHURCH-We have been
intending for some time to visit the now building
in course of erection, in Galhonn street, east of
Meeting. Passing there a few days ago we stepped
in, and in a conversation with a portly and venera
ble looking freedman, we learned that he waB a
native carpenter, the contractor of the building,
and had himself "architected" it, na he oxpreaaed
it. We looked about ne, and found the architec
ture to be of the "composite" order, tho Doric
largely predominant. It is not quite equal to the
Cathedral at Cologne, or the Minster at Stras
burg, but, nevertheless, is hiehly creditable to
the native artiBt.
Rev. Mr. Cain is the Pastor of this Church. He
?B a colored man,-a native of Virginia. He or
ganized the Church in July, 1865, with a few mem
bers, and without any place of worship. He im
mediately set to work taking up weekly collec
tions, and building this church as he got money.
The church ?B now nearly finished, will seat about
v o thousand persons, and cost nearly $15,000
(which, by the bye, appears a very large amount
for such a building).
This church belongs to the African Methodist
Episcopal Church, an organization entirely distinct
from the M. E. Church in the North. ItB Bishops,
Ministers and members are all negroes. Bishop
Payne organized the South Carolina Conference in
July, 18C5, with 14 preachers and 4000 members.
The second session of the Conference was held last
week in Savannah, now counting 58 preachers and
24,000 members. They have recently purchased
the Morris-street Lutheran Church in this city
for $7000.
We went to the Calhoun-street Church yester
day to hear Bishop Payne preach. His text was
Philip i, 9-11. The subject of the discourse waa,
The elements of power in a Ohuroh, viz: Intelli
gent love, correctness of judgment, and persistent
holiness. He is a good preacher, and handled
his subject like a practised sermonizer, using
great simplicity all the while, and entirely adapt
ing himself to his auditory.
Bishop Payne ia a native of Charleston. Dr.
BACJIMAN was his pastor during his boyhood and
adolescence, and directed him in his studies. At
the ago of twenty he went North, to prepare him
self for the ministry, carrying letters of recom
mendation from Bishops OADBDEN and CAPERS,
Drs. BACBMAN, PALMER, and others. He pursued
a literary and theological course in the Lutheran
Seminary at Gettysburg, under the _-?iepices ol
Dr. ScHMncKEB.
Finding on his graduation that there were bul
few colored people in the Lutheran Church, he
joined the African Method-te, among whom he
has labored for many yeara, and where he hat
reached tho highest honors his Church ia able te
, bestow upon him.
This church receives little or no aid from tin
North, and, in our opinion, ought to be en
couragod by our people, inaamnoh aa it bids fail
to becomo the largest ecclesiastical organizatioi
for the c'olored people of the South.

iMPOnTANT DECI9ION REOAUDINQ THE ClVIL
RiauTS BILL.-A case involving the constitution
ality of the Civil Rights Bill, has just been decid
ed adversely by Judge THOMAS, of the Circuit
Court of Virginia, sitting in Alexandria. In a
civil action botwoen whito men ono of the partios
offered to produce negro evidence. Tho Judge
decided that, inasmuch as tho State laws of Vir
ginia forbado tho introduction of negro testimony
in civil Buits to which whit?-? men alone were
parties, the evidence of the negro was inadmissi
ble, and that no Congre?-, ional legislation could
impair her right to decide what persons or classes
of perBons wero competent to tostify in her courts..
This decision will, no doubt, lead to much discus
sion and cause no little excitemont before its final
settlement by superior authority.

MABLBOBO', S. C.-The Bennettsville .Tournai,
?of Saturday, contains tho following paragraph in
?relation to the growing crops :
We have heard recently a good deal of com
plaint from our planters about the sickly condition
of young cotton. A great deal of it has been
killed by the heavy rains and cold nights which
has necessitated replanting. Much of it has not
como up owing to the inferior quality of the seed.
In some instances it has been ploughed up and
corn planted in its stead. The corn has been
seriously affected by unfavorable weather. Tho
wheat in some sections looks well, but is conside
rably blas tod and cannot make a good yield. From
present indications and prospects, we think that
our planters cannot realize even half crops of
corn or cotton.
SAVANNAH.-TheRepublican of Saturday has the
following on Beconatruction of the Home Depart
ment:
The work of rebnilding and repairing tho various
wharves, which is under contract with the city by
different individuals, is progressing in tho most
satisfactory manner. The wharf formerly occupied
by the Iron Steamboat Co., belonging to Messrs.
Johnson, LaRoahe & Gowrly, is under contract to
be entirely rebuilt from the foundation. As this
wharf has not only greater depth of. water than
any other, but has also greater capacity for re
ceiving freight, it will be well adapted for
vessels of the heaviest class of water to load
and unload upon it. Charleston wharf has boen
entirely rebuilt, with new piling, ?LO., and- is
now in tho most serviceable condition. Mr. Berns
hart's Wharf, west of Market Dock, is rapidly ap
proaching completion, and in a few days will be
ready for use. The Planters' Bank wharf, west
of Exchango Dock, is being thoroughly rebuilt,
with a new foundation, consisting of three rows
of piling, and in every other respect the work will
be first class. Mr. Walbnrg's wharf-the Ex
change Dock-is undergoing extensive repairs in
the shape of a new front of the best material, and
will bo finished within a month. Jones' lower
wharf is also receiving al*?orations, &o., and in the
couran of a few weeks will be ready for use.
Padelford's wharf, occupied by Wildor's steam
ship line, is being rebuilt in the ainsi complete
manner, and ??.hen finished will be unequalled by
any along the river. The wharf belonging to
Messrs. Comstock & Kinsey, across Um river, is
under contract to be rebuilt in the most substan
tial manner. The work will commence as soon na
the freehet subsides, and be completed in the
conreo of a few months.

In the Senate a resolution was passed appoint

dition of the national banka with especial refer
ence to the Government funds deposited therein.
The reconstruction resolutions were taken up at
the expiration of the morning hour, Mr. Stewart,
of Nevada, being the first to make & speech on the
subject. He sincerely hoped that the Senate
would modify tho resolution??, and adopt general
??."""'.' and universal suffrage as the basis ot a
hu?! pu n: but if they ?tiled to do this he should
au*, port tho majority as bing as their measures
seemed to contain any of tha elements of good.
A motion Was made to strike out the third section,
but it was permitted to lie over. The farther con
sideration of tbe subject was postponed until the
24th.
In the House the joint resolution to prevent the
introduction of cholera into the United States,
reported from the Senate, was passed. The new
Freedmen's Bureau bill was considered and some
amendments made, when the subject was post*
poned until Tuesday next. The Soldiers' Bounty
Dill, revised by the committee, will be presented
for tho consideration of the House to-day. The
bill is changed so as to doduot all loeal bounties
from the- sum wbioh would otherwise be due.
The Tax bill was then taken into consideration,
and several minor alterations and amendments
made. ?.*>

The good things of this world have each their ap

It Is the mission of HOSTETTBR'8 STOMACH BIT
TERS to prevent and relieve a great variety of ailments.
For twelve years it? success as a protective and a remedy
has been without check or drawback. It is strong
negative evidence of this fact, that the efficacy of the
article as a sp?cifie for dyspepsia, biliousness, constipa
tion, nervousness, general debility, and intermittent
fevers, has never been questioned.
As proof positive of its Infallibility in such cases, the
state-cnta of public men whose names are familiar as
household words, have from time been given to the
world,
If its reputation is not founded in facts, then truth ia
a shadow, and the utterances of conscientious cit-ena
of no more value than "dicers' oaths."
And what ulta reputation? Let the progress of ita
sales answer the inquiry. Where twenty dozen bottles
of Hostet-*'s Bitters were sold In 1856, five hundred
