The Mayor reported on the matter of widening Queen street, and, on mofon of Aldorman RAVENEL, It was re ferred to the Committee on Streets, to inquire.into the coat of widening that street as far as the burnt district extends. Application of the Commissioners of the Aim House, asking for. $2600 for repairs, which waa presented atlaat meeting, waa further postponed. The consideration of the paving of East Bay waa post poned to the next meeting. The bill for tbe Innr-aso of the pay of the police being brought up for ratification, Alderman RAVENEL made the foUowing remarks : It may be unparliamentary, Mr. Mayor and gentle men, that an offort should be made to arrest a bill when called up for ratification; but I am Induced to aak the patience of Connell, while I give a few brief reasons for this rather novel sud certainly unusual course: When this bill was dobated, you are all aware of my having opposed it on 1 be score not only of Inexpediency, but of inability In the Treasury to carry out ita provi sions, ii In tho estimates of the year, no such provision waa made. The Treasury has, with great difficulty, been able to meet the demands upon It; and. at this moment, when our Fire Department has to be cherished and their reasonable demands mot with promptness-our public buildings requiring necessary repairs in order to preserve them-our needy poor asking relief at the doors of our alms-house and other chun able Institu tions-you have decroe t that upwards of $30,000 per annum shaU bo added to your expenses. How ia this to be met? With difficulty, and at an expense of $1600 over the usual rate of interest, have we been able to meet all of the regular and just demands upon the Treasury. Your tax bill is already onorons, and by many of you considered oppressive; and I ask the advocate?, of this bill, in all frankness, to Bay how this appropriation ia to be honored. With a large amount of taxea unpaid, -which, eie long, will compel you to order the property of citizens to bo sold, are you prepared to vote away money, without knowing where it Is to come from ? I see gentlemen around me who, in the management of their private affairs, act not in tbla way. I feel callod upon, as the Chairman of your Financial Committee, to record my solemn proteat against tina bill, for many other reasons that I could mention; but I may say, in a word, that want of the money is sufficient, and money can only be bad by raising it from the people-and Alder men bet?re long may, unloss haaty l?gislation is cheok od, be callod on to vote for an auxiliary tax bill for the year 1868. And, be!oro concluding, I would raspeotfully aak Council, if It la necessary that I should remind them of the amount of money already ordered to be spent in the paving of street-, Ac, and of other matters essential to the commerce of the city 7 I feel it du? to myself to say that I can not be held responsible for any difficulty in wblob the Treasury may bo Involved, If the truth is not heeded, and Oouncll act? without looking ahead as to their resources.. Alderman RAVENEL e> pressed himself in favor of the police, but opposed the bill on account of the scarcity of means, and on tbat account only. His remarks raised a debate, In whloh Aldermen WILLIS, GEBOTS, and CoBonovE participated. Alderman RAVENEL moved the postponement of the ratification. -heMayor decided the motion out of order, and the ordinance was ratified. There being no further business, on motion of Alder* man WILLIS. Council adjourned. BODTHKBN BEPBESENTATION.--If the Southern States should all onfranohise their blacks, with a view to increasing their representation under the proposed Constitutional Amendment, the black voters in two of the States would have a majority over the whites; that is, in Mississippi, where tho majority would be 15,8.3, and in South Carolina, where it would bo 11,701. The black voters would be sufficient to give any party a majority in seve ral other States, as iu Louisiana and Alabama. If the South Will not onfranohise thonogrooy its rop osentation will be reduced from seventy-five, the present number of representatives, to fifty, and virginia, which has now eight, would have only six members of Congress. A?Talrs In the Weat. T. C. WEATIIEIILY, of Marlboro, who is at pro sont travelling iu tho West, writoB a long and very interesting lottor to tho Easttn-n Journal, publish ed at Bouuottavillo. Col. W. is a OIOHO observer, and wo know of no ono bottor qualified to givo an opinion on tho interesting topic? ho speaks of : In Alabama and Mississippi tho civil law ia in foreo, and tbo froodmon aro tried by tho courts, and by tho laws rocontly paBsod by tnoir Legisla tures, and iu each Htato a Bitnilar code, (almost identical witb ours, passed at the laat acsaiou of our Legislature,) and overy man of intolligonco with whom I havo conversed, agroo that it ia a groat improvement on tho rognlationa of tho Frocdnion's Bureau, both for tho whitcB and black?. I think, in Mississippi, tho froodmon aro doing bottor than any other placo I havo viaited. TbiB, I am told, is the effect of tho chango from military to civil law. * * * * * * * * * Jackson prcaonta a aorry picturo ; compares well with our own Columbia in tho oxtont of ita ruins, and its proaout condition. It ?B boing ro built slowlv. Evorywhero on tho whole lino of travel, with fow oxcoptionB, wo BOO tho offocta of tho war. The towua and cities burned, or par tially ao ; tho placoB of good, and in many ?nut an cos, magni?cont buildingB now still vacant, or filled with moro ahantioa. In sonio fow inatauceB aubatantial buildings aro going up. Those aro tho exception? ; but around tho suburbs of all oitioB and villages, you may find negro shanties and shelters filled with women and children. In no aoction through which I havo passed aro tbo women at work on plantations. ******** Capital to a liberal oxtont baa boon ofibred to fiorsons who wished to try tho oxporimout of freo abor. I think that this ia tbo last yoar with many of thom in tbis busineae, particularly whore they havo not had tbe experience nocesBary to make cotton plantera. Among othera on the rivor en gaged for the first timo in this business, is don. F. O. Blair, whom we all remember as tho com mandant of tbo army corps that dev&atatod our little village and tho surrounding oountry. I thought from the looks of tho grasa and weeds in his cotton fields, that he was muoh more success ful in ruining our beautiful oountry than ho is likely to be in making a good crop of cotton. He has leaaed for three years a very fine estate of two thousand cleared acres for sixty thousand dollars. It is located in Carrol Parish, La. This ia a moat beautiful, and was tbo moat highly cul tivated Pariah in tho cotton section of Louisiana. Boforo the war, landa wero worth about ono hun dred dollars per acre. Now thero is no demand for them, but are still held at high prices. Plan tations where the buildings wore not burnt, have been rented at from eight to twenty-five dollars i$8H?rf25) per acre, where rented at all. As I have mentioned before, the froodmon are doing better in Mississippi than any other place. I am pleased to be able to say the same of this region of Louisiana. But, unfortunately for tho prosperity of the country, thero are too few of thom. Some have tried white labor; but I hoar of but one gentleman who is succeeding with thom. My own opinion is, that moat of the negro labor of the country will finally ooncontrato in tho valley of the Mississippi, and its rioh tributaries hero can afford to pay high prices for labor. And I find from experience that the negro ?B influenced in his choice of looation, to a great oxtont, by the prioo offered for his services. This is particularly the caso with field hands. Bnt thoso raisod about tho cities and villages are generally worthless, and oannot be induced to quit their old places to go on the plantations. But the production of cotton in largo quantities under the prosent system is out of the question. The crop of this year will be small. You hear various estimates, but with the uncertainty of the seasons and the labor, an opinion would only be tho moroat guess. The crops aro now badly in tho grass and weeds, but a few fair days would greatly ohange the proapeota of the planters of this section. . s *---^?^ THE LATE GOSDON OOMMIKO'S COLLECTION. The London MorniDg Post says: "Gordon Cum ming, the renowned African traveller and intrepid lion hunter, having quittod this world, his exten sivo collection, which waa exhibited some years since, has passed (through tho auction rooms of Messrs. Stevens in King-street, and it may be consolatory to the spirit of the mighty hunter to know that the skins, tusks and bones, which have BO long kept company together, aro not now dis persed. They havo passed, in fact, into the pos session of another mighty hunter, though of dif ferent game, and havo been knocked down to tbo equally intrepid and no losa renowned P. T. Barnum, of New York, in tbo United States of America and elsewhere. At the sale which took placo on Saturday last, Mr. Barnum's agents, Messrs. Wella & Nimmo, siloncod all opposition by the decided character of their biddings, and ee oured, not only the grand panorama, which brought BO vividly boforo the spectator the scenes and advonturoa through which the traveller passed, but all the great gems of the collection. A large skull of an elophant and the great ivory tusks realized 100 guineas, while lion's skulls and other oateological specimens produced largo sums. The skins wero secured in a lot for Mr. Barnum, who, siuco tho destruction of his museum at New York has, we are told, dispatched agents to the uttermost ends of tho oarth to eeoure attractions for the new collection he is about to submit to the notice of a discriminating public" 4.-0 0 0 ? BEAB IN A BED-BOOM.- On Thursday night a tame bear, which is kept by the proprietor of tho Cambre House, got loose from hie kennel and started on an exploring expedition throngh the premises. Findinga door open, Bruin ontorcd, and made his way through tho house. In passing through the hall ho carno in contact with one of the servant girls, cn dishabille, who, supposing that tho bear was bent on mischief, fled, scream ing, into a bod-room closo at hand. Bruin, seem ing to appreciate a joko, pursued her closoly, and took his stand in the door. The girl, seeing re treat cut off crept under the bed to hide from tho monster. lhe4 inmate of the conob, a lady, being awakened by the scream? of tho girl, and seeing Bruin making his way toward tbe bed, star tod up in a hurry, completing her toilet in a more expe ditions manner, we venture to say, than she had ever dono in her life before, and audod her scream to those of tbo girl. The bear commenced a chargo upon the fair ones, but evidently in a sportivo mood. By a doxteroua flank movement ho cor nered thom both, and raising hitneolf upon his bind legs, he looked intently into their faces, as if to say: "What do you think now, my dears ?" By this time nearly the whole house was aroused, and oame to the rescue of the besieged. Bruin was seized by some of the masoulino ponder and taken to his kennel, while the frightoned wo men were taken care of by the female portion of the bouse. They bluabod at having boen soon in BO scant an apparel, and afterwards laughed at the groundlessnessAof their fright.- Milwaukee Sentinel, June 9th. - en CHOPS.-We had the opportunity, a few days since, by a ride into tho oountry for a oasoal view of the orops in the lower part of the District. To say that we bave nover soon as poor a proapoot, but feobly expresses the opinion forced upon UB. There is, on the farms we examined c1 OH ely, not over half a stand of cotton, which looks sickly and bad, and is almost irrecoverably in the grass. Bottom land has been so wet and BO often over flowed that the prospect is poor on them. Up land corn looks fair but needs rain now, whioh would however injure cotton. Farmers, as a olase, aro often said to grumble from habit, and to look on tho dark side. But we oannot but say that all the accounts wo get from thom, from our own observation, are true. The failure of the orops this year brings famino npon the land. Is this scourge to follow the war ? _LaurensoiUs Herald, June 20. WILLUM li.
