SATUBDAY MORNING, JANUARY 19, 1867.
?IDE THEM AWAY.
ST ANS T-AOB.
Hide them I O hide them all away
His cap, bia little frock
And take from out my aching eight
Yon curling, golden lock;
Ah 1 once it wa-rod upon bia brow I
Ye torture me anew
Leave not ao deal a token hore
Ye know not what ye do I
Lait night the moon came In my room.
And on my bed did lie
I wpka, and in tho silver light
I thought I heard him cry
I leaned toward the httlo crib.
Tho eurtais drew aside.
Before, half sleeping. I bethought
Me, that my boy had died I
Take the? away I I cannot look -
On aught that breathes of him 1
Oh 1 take away the ?liver cup.
His Ups have touched its brim
mo the straw hat from off the wall,
'Ti? wreathed with withered flowers;
The rustling leaves do whisper me
Of all the loved lost hours.
The raWte, with ita music balla
Chi de not let thora sound 1
The dimpled hand that grasped thom once
Is cold beneath the ground.
The willow wagon on tho lawn
Through all my tears Ieee: .
Koli it away. Oh ! gently roll.
It 1B an agony!
His chees are tn the comer, nurse,
His little feet no more .
Will patter like the falling rain.
Fast up and down the floor.
Aad turn that picture to the wall- -
His loving mournful eye
Is piercing through my very heart.
Again I eoo bim dio !
Oh 1 anguish, hew he gazed on mo.
When panted out his breath 1
I never, novar knew before
How terrible waa death.
My boy-my own-my only ono
Art thou forever gone?
O God ! help me to bear the stroke
That loavos me all alone.

they recommend that the proposition of Mr. Lafitte bo

The Committee on Belief, to which was referred the ap?
plication of Eliza 8. Loe, for the admission of her son
into the Asylum as a beneficiary, ask leave to report that,
sitar an interview had with the applicant, they are by no
means certain that her son is, as is represented'in the j
petition, "a hopeless and confirmed lunatic,-'' but that he
ia laboYlne under great depression of spirits from want of |
employment, and to far from lt being "necessary to his
own or the safety of others," that he should be confined,
he is perfectly qtdet and harmless. If, In the opinion of
a physician, confinement should be necessary, the Com?
mittee recommend that bebe placed temporarily In the
lunatic department of the City Hospital, until the case is
morefullyTtevelcpea. J. H. HONOUR.

Alderman - Honour made the following report,
which waa laid over for consideration at next regu?
lar meeting: -
j-flSe Committee on T.iCT.tn>g the City, to whom waa
referred the communication of Mr. Poznans?, in relation
to the use of bis Gas Multiplier, beg leave to report-That
in the consideration of tho same they have not relied
upon certificates or theoretic calculations, but upon the
results of a practical experiment, made at the Main Guard
House, where the apparatus waa applied. In tho month
of November. This experiment was applied to the lights
In the building itself, and also to the street lamp, the
consumption of which ia registered by a distinct and
sepni.tte taster..
T i .<.? o' experiments show a consumption of gas about
ont Mji .djhrrta wi'h the use of the multiplier than with?
out it. ?h?e ibo light waa equally good.
your Committee also obtained liiforrnailon from M
Purcell, proprietor of the Mill? House, and from the pro?
prietors of-tho Dally Nows, both of which csU.,ll?h

tho use of tho multiplier, a burner, wh.ch adniittoda
How of trfo feet l>er hour, gavo a light equal to that
thrown by a burner which admitted a flow of ?vo foot
without the uso of thc multiplier. - '
Thc Gas Company has agreed to tho application of tho
multiplier to the street lamps; under conditions which
tho committee deem reasonable, and has also submit?
ted a scale of charges Tarring with tho number of lights.
Tho Committee, deeming it essential lo recommend an
incrcaso lu tho number of Btre-t lights, bog to be allowed
to increase tho number to ono thousand, applying tho
multiplier. This will bc au increase of sovonty-uvo por

The Conimitttco-would also rooommend that they be
authorized to apply thc multiplier to tho several publio
buildings. To illustrate tho advantage to bo gained wo1
will toko thc Orphan House for example.
Tho gas bill against that house for thc month of De?

With the uso of tho multiplier this will bo reduced

P. C. GAILLARD, Mayor.
Alderman Honour mado the following majority
report, which was laid ovor for consideration at
next ragular meeting:
The undersigned, members of the Special Committco
to which was rcfcrredjho ''memorial and petition of the
Board of Truslces of tho Roper Fund," afters careful and
attentive consideration of tho very important subject
'committed to them, ask leave to present the following
report:
" The agreement entered into by tho City Couno?, and
tho Medical Society as Trustees of the Roper Hospital in
1835.piovldcs that Iho city shall annually appropriate
fl" i thousand dollars to tho Modlcal Society, to bo ex
p-culed in tho support and, maintenance of the Roper
Hospital, to continue "so long. aa the arrange?
ments contemplated by this agreement shall be mutually
carried into ejj'ecl." And the Modlcal Society on then
part "covenant and agree that ,11 tho sick poor of tho city
shall be received and main tam od in tho same manner as
at the Poor House, and provided with good and silfnrient,
medical attendance in the stria Roper Uospital, at the ex?
pense of tho said Institution; and freo of all charge and
expense to thc city; and also that the temporary city and
transcient insane, such as are provided for in the insane
department of the Poor House, and all such persons of
that description as tho Commissioners who have charge
oi the poor of the city shall direct, shall be maintained
and provided with good and sufficient medical attendance
in tho bunding referred to, -or some other building ol
equal accommodation, thc same to be done at tho charge
of the said Medical Society, and free of all charge to the
city." A subsequent section provides that tho Medical
Society, or their propor agents, shall render to the City
Council a quarterly report, in writing, of the number
and condition of the sick and insano poor under their
charge. -:.?"?
This agreement was mutually carried into effect by th?
contracting parties until February, 186$, when, in con.
sequence of tho occupation of tho hospital buildings bj
tho military, the operations thereof entirely ceased. To?
wards the close ol tho year 18G5, it was found absolutely
necessary that tho city authorities should adopt measures
for thc relief-of the largo number of sick poor in tho city,
who were suffering from destitution and the want o:
medical attendance. Thia was thc occasion of mud
anxioty on tho part of the City Council, to whom vari oui
plans wero proposed, which were referred to a Spochi
Committee, or whom Alderman Trenholm was Chairman
to take thc whole subject into consideration, and recom
mend such measures as were most likely to accomplis!
the desired object. Tho United States Medical Directo:
for this department having most kindly offered to afton
all the aid in his power for tho accomplishment of tail
desirable object, the Committee had interviews with thu
officer, who agreed to furnish the necessary supplies o
medicines, hospital stores, Sic, for the uso of tho sic]
poor, and the Committee reported a Bill providing for thi
creation oi a Health Department, which, after undergo
.lng some alterations in its minor details; waa adepte,
by Council, and an Ordinance ratified providing tor th
election of six City Physicians, and the establishment o
a hospital for tho reception of patients. The old . Aim
House in Mazy ck street was accordingly repaired and pu
into a suitable condition, tho buildings being so altor?
and arranged as to make them capablo of comfortabl
accommodating 260 patients, on ample supply of hospita
furniture, medicines, Ac, being gratuitously furrdshc
by tho United States Medical Dii-xtor. The Marine Hoi
pi tal having, been ' discontinued, arrangements were et
tered into for tho reception and accommodation of sic
seamen, for whom separate Wards were provided.
The main building has been appropriated to tho use c
white patients, and the building in thc rear, J?rmcrly uso
for lunatics, has undergone an cn tiro change, and no'
affords largo and comfortable accommodations for co
. oreti patients; the buildings are connected by a passag
way, but tho "intermix turo of races, in the same bulk
ing," sc much deprecated by the memorialists, is pure!
imaginary, thc : separation being quito as perfect as :
could bo in the Roper Hospital, i-i,which it ls propose
that "one of its minis shaU bc opened" lor tho reccptio
of colored paupers." . : ' V - .
Tho organization or the' Hospita] was effected in "foi
i nary, I860, under thc immediate direction and supe
vision of Dr. George 'S. Pelzer, the City Registrar, an
. has been an entire success. Thc accommodations for p
tienta, both white anti colored, aro ample, and under tl
present arragement, the expense is merely nominal. Tl
city bas berni divided into district*?, each being assigne
r to "ono of the city physicians, who have faithfully di
charged the duties of meir high trust in administorix
to the relief of the sick poor. During the year no
nearly closed, tho number Of patients treated is 39:
xviii tc's and 4755 blacks and colored, -peking an aggrcga
ai 8668. During tho pr?valent? ot the small-pox cj
demie, a hospital was opened beyond the city limits, ax
placed under the direction of Dr. S. C. Brown, into VT Inc
were admitted 924 cases.
Thc whole system has worked well, and bas succoedc
beyond the expectations ol' its most sanguine friend
1 and it is the opinion of the undi reigned that it is 1
the interest of tho city that tho organization shoald 1
continued. Tho agreement entered m to twelve years af
with the Medical Socio ty was brought to a close nearly tv,
years ?go, by the inability of the Society to comply wit
i its terms, and tho city having been forced to adopt othi
arrangements?. The memorialista say ihat "the agre
merit between the City Council and the Medical Socle!
binds their successors in omeo to the performance of tl
contract, " To this we give our hearty assent. Tl
agreement binds tho Society to receive and administer
' the wants and necessities ot tho sick poor of the city. Tl
memorialists ''claim that they faithfully adhered to ai
carried out their portion of the contract until their op
rations wore suspended by tho annihilation of all di
authority." This wo also cheerfully admit, but on tl
restoration of civil authority they wore not in a cone]
tion to renow tho contract; nor are they yet fully pr
pared to do so, tho .building not being in a condition
receive all the patients under treatment. The mcmorir
ists proposo that thu city shall turn over to them all tl
hospital stares, medicines, Ac, in its possession, lt ms
well be doubted if we have any right to do so, at lea,
without thc consent of those from whom they were r
ceiv?d. r?ai.
That the Trustees or the Boper Hospital being raab
to fulfill their agreement is no fault of theirs, we ai
prepared to admit; nor was it, certainly, the fault of tl
city. Tile reverses and changes that have takon place we:
entirely unforeseen and could not bo guarded agair.s
but those reverses compelled the city, authorities i
resort to new measures to relieve thc suffering poo
Thia they were ..sotannly bound" to do; and ha
lng, fortunately, succeeded in putting into operatic
a plan that has proved eminently successfc
and attended with much leos expense to tl
city, tho undersigned can perceive no.moral or leg
obligation which requires a renewal of the agroemen
We are still in a transition state, and we think it is b
yond the ken of the most astute to say what will be oi
political or civil condition a year hence The preset
emergency is all that we can reasonably be expected
meet. Circumstances may hereafter render it ad visa b
to renew the relations which heretofore oxisted betwei
the City and the Trust:os ol' the Roper Hospital; but, :
tho present condition of tilings, tho undersigned are
opinion that it would bo unwise to do so, and they a
cordingly recommend that the "Memorial and Petitic
of the Board of Trustees of the Roper Fund" be n
granted.
All which ia respectfully submitted.
JNO. H. HONOUR.
JACOB SMALL.
Alderman Wragg mado the following minorit
report, which was also laid over for considerate
at next regular meeting:
Thc Minority of the Committee on the "Memorial ai
Petition of the Trustees of tho Roper Hospital," repo
that tho Committee met at the City Hall oh the 10th Ja
nary, 1867, when the following members were proser,
viz:.Aldermen Wragg, C?u?rrnari, and Small.
*~ Professor Chisolm, President of the Medical Society <
South Carolina, and ex officio Chairman of the Board i
Trustees of the Boper Hospital, appeared before tl
Committee and gave such information in relation to tl
transactions between tho Board and the City Council i
seemed to have a direct bearing on the contract whic
finally resulted. --
On the l?th of January the Committee again met at tl
office of Alderman Honour, when the following momba:
were present, viz: Aldermen Wragg, Chairman; Sma
and Honour-the whole Committee. ' y
The Chairman submitted tho following sketch of tl
information which hud been brought to the consider:
hon of the Committee by tho Memorial and Prof Chi
olm's explanations:
"From the statements made in the 'Memorial sn
Petition,'and tho explanations of Professor Chisolm tl
following points appear to be made out: - ..
L Previous to the time at which the contract was ei
tered into between tho: two parties, the community ha
decided that the plan upon which the charities of tb
city was being dispensed was so faulty ss to call for n
form. .
3. That the object of this reform should be the sepan
rion pr the three distinct classes or persons Tor whoa
provision had to be made, so that each class mi?hfct
cared for by itself. 77??".
8,; ,Th*- to 0118 00414 would be necessary that s?parai
buildings shouid be provided.
*> That it was important that tho change should b
mado at the least possible cost to the city*
, f. That, wita these objects in view, .Council entere
into negotiations with the Conmusatoners of the Poor an
HSESSSfK! of 016 ??1>cr Hospital, which negotiation ?
suited (In the unanimous adoption, by CtouXKxU. of th
plan suggested by the OammisHioners of the Poor
6; The plan proposed and adopted was, that the Factor
building. m-Hampstead, should bo purchased (with th
fund which the Ccmmissioners of tho poor had accurst
lated from the manufacturo and salo-of cheon coffin:
and which was known as the Coffin Fund), and dedicate
to the purposes or an Alms House. That an arrant-.
ment should be made with the Trustees of the Bon?
Fund for receiving into their Hospital the sick poor <
the city, paying over tome Trustees such furn- of mono'
annually, as wo aid compensate them for the cost the
would be attn maintaining and attending them, say f,
the present, $5000 ; sud the old building in Hazyck stree
should he. properly altered, and then devoted to th
uses of a Bettering House. . .
.7. "That, by such an arrangement, the city would be i
once provided with the means of effecting the long desi
ed object or Depara tin g the different and incongruous eli
ments'that hadso long been kept together at the cost ord
of ?rmoddllng the birilding In Hampstead foran Aire
House, and that in Mazy ck street for a Bettering Hons,
instead of having to build suitable places for their . Hoi
pital and Alms House, neither of which structures cou!
.ffi erected under an outlay of ? KO.000.
8. That in tho early confer-.aces between the "at
^J%L??JFM by 010 lnn?T t<wirdth? erection Sibel
nf3?%?? Tmmt which most weighed wit
Co un edi in favor of granting aid wa? that tK?*,'

-?~?-atoy the city ora suitable bufldln^ fortaelr^rJ,
and that they would in una way obt-unwlittfjev wanto
at^hAir ot what it would costthem to buUdXXn,
That tho result of these conferences, and the ador
tion of tho recommendation of the Commisstoers?
Poor by tho City council, was a contractM?unTa
Connd? and the Trustees respectively, so long M th
stipula tiona it contained i-hould be mutually carried oui
anS only to be annlled by the mutual agreement of th.
two parties to tho contraer, ?n agreement that was faith
folly carried out till tho dry foll into the hands of. tb
?nomy. when tho seizure of an the publio buildings atti
the dlsporaionof tho City Government rendered it impos
siblpfor either party to meet its ragap*rmenta. the Sb
having no funds to pay i ts contribution, and the Trusteeea
for a tune, no building in which to carry on op?rations
During the trying years of the war the Trustees had -foi
moro than eighteen months, providod for the sick SS
nounde 1 soldiers without any charge either to the div
toe State, or the Confederate authorities. When driver
tom the Hospital by the cammy's shells they provided ?
lifo retreat for tho city rick, to -which they wens carefully
removed entirely at their own coat, and when ousted
trom that place hy the summary orders of tho military
authorities, thoy bc.ro ibo expenso of a second removal,
uni, in tho face or.overy difficulty, faithfully and effi?
ciently discharged their obligations, content te re?oive
their stipula tod appropriation In a currency depreciated
~10.^hattb"o Trustees are now In possession of thcir
bulldiug, and havo nearly completed their preparations
for tho rocoption of pationts.
10. That tho Trustees have at their disposal an an?
nual income or between $6000 and $7000, whioh will be
Increased to $10,000 when, from tho resumption of the
payment of interest by 8tato and corporate bodies on
their Stace and Bonds, and from other sources, they are
in the receipt of their entire moans.
ia That of this income, all or wbloh will bo expend?
ed for tho benefit of the city, S?O0O dollars aro contribut?
ed by tho State, and will be lost to tho city if tho doors of
tho Hoper Hospital aro not opened, at once, for the re?
ception of patients.
13. That the Trusteos are willing. tor the prooont, to
walvo their claim for tho ??000 due thom, annually, by
tho contract, ir the City Council will restore the Biet, or
? portion of thom, to-tho Boper Hospital, furnishing with
them a rateable proportion of supplies. And thoy en?
cage to mako snell periodical reports or their operations
as aro now mode by tho City Physicians, to be embodied
in tho general reports made by the Health officer or the
citv. _
14. That tho re-opening of tho Hospital will further
-ontribu'e in no inconsiderable degree, to the benefit of
tho city by the advantages lt will offer to students of
medicino as a school of Clinical Instruction, thereby in?
creasing the number of tuoso resorting to the city for
medical education, each of who u Is estimated to leave
behind him an average of $500. . , _,,
15. That an opportunity will thus bo afforded of lay?
ing tho foundation or an institution that must, ore long,
bo established to moot tho requisitions springing out
of tho new order of things, f. e. a Hospital for the sick
and insane of tho race of freedmen; tho City Hospital
hoing devoted to the usos of tho one, while tho Boper
Hospital shelters the other. . . .? ,.,_.",.
16. That the re-opening oi the Boper Hospital will bring
into operation aeystcm of hospital accommodation urgent?
ly needed in our community, and only to be attained in
this way_?'. e., adeportmont tor pay patients, into which
trar-iient persons having means to pay for their medical
tr< almont may enter, and receive tho caro and attention
which is not to bo hod in boarding houses or any other
establishment in tho city. Portions of the Boper Hos?
pital were devoted to this object before tho war, and the
plan was found to work adrnirably, particularly in seasons
ol epidemic. , " _
17. That the present arrangement with tho Bureau is
of uncertain duration, being liable to stop it-any time lt
may suit ono party to terminate it, and at furthest only
to continuo two years." " _
The facts and arguments abovo stated did not make
tho same impression on all tho mombers of the commit?
tee. To the obairman thoy afford satisfactory proof that
the reopening of tho Boper Hospital would be of Inesti?
mable advantago to the city, as it worro restore ari ar?
rangement which had worked most harmoniously for
over ten years, and which is the only one which promises
a permanent and independent sys tom of operations; that
it eau bo engrafted on tho present pion at BO expense to
the city, while to persevere in the effort to pr?vido sepa
parato hospital accommodation must entail additional

The Mayor made the following report, which was
I received as information : .
In tho matter ot the verdict oi the Jury or Inquest, re?
cently rendered in thc case ol Thomas Freon, I bog to
submit thc following :
The record roads os follows :
"STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, \
- . . CHARLESTOTT DISTRICT, J
An inquisition indented, taken at No. - 20 State street,
I in tho District and St:- to aforesaid, the 27th day of De
I cembor, A. D. 1S6G, bet?re E. M. Whiting, Coroner, open
view of the body ot Thomas Frcan, c-T Charleston, then
and there being dead, by the oaths of P. Doogan, L.
Behrens, Wm. Moran. M. McErnernay, Thomas Kava
nangh, J. Sharkey, E. Flannigan, P. Burns. D. O'Leary,
P. Kelly, Michael CnUighan, M. Early, P. Carey, being a
lawful Jury of Inquest, who, bein^ charged and sworn,
, inquire for thc State of South Carolina where and by
what moana the said Thomas Frcan carno to his death,
npon their oaths do say that he came to his death by the
falling of a wall on Cordes street, occasioned by tho ne?
glect of tho proper authorities in not .having said wan
pulled down. And so the said jurors aforesaid, upon
their oaths aforesaid, do say, that tho aforesaid Thomas
Frcan came to his death in manner and form as afore?
said. ;
.la witness whereof. I, E. M. Whiting, Coronar afore
? said, and the Jurors aforesaid to - this, inquisition, have
set our hands and seals, the day and year aforesaid.''
Slgnedjiy .Coroner and Jurors. -
But one witness wig examined in tho caso, aal bia d??
position ronds OB-followB: _ ,r-,t_ - -- ?
"Anthony WiUiams "(eblbred), who! upon hiing duly
sworn says, that on this morning, about half-past 7
o'clock, while ho waa opening tho store of Mr. Costa, by
whom he ia employed, he seen tho wall of tho burnt
building at tho comer or Venduo Range and Cordes
street, fall and kill the deceased and his mule instantly.
Sworn to before Coroner Whiting, 27th December,
1866."
Upon this testimony, then, was tho verdict rendered.
It is true that Freon waa killed by tbe falling of a wall,
but under circumstances which would scarcely warrant
such a verdict; and in order to show this. I submit the
following statement of facts:
Thc deposition of Williams states that the wall was
part of the burnt building at corner of Vendue Range and
Cordes at-.eet, which is a mistake, the building being at
corner of Venduo Range and Prioleau street Cordes
street runs parallel with Vendue Range, and is at such
distance from thc Range that another street lies between
them, parallel to both. It lr apparent that tho witness;
Williams, has confounded Cordes with Priolean street,
and tho Jury, upon his testimony, has jumped to the
conclusion that the waU was on that street, though there
is nothing in the deposition to warrant it. The deposi?
tion states that the building, not the wall, was at* the
corner of these two streets, and tho fact is that there was
no wall on Prioleau arr ot, it having boen pulled down
to the lovel of the pavement months ago. These remarks
are intended to show with what little care, tho Investiga?
tion was made. The inquisition was held in State street,
and I am informed by ono or tho jurors that they did not
oven visit the spot to ascertain tho circumstances of the
accident. These I will detail eo far as I have been abie
to learn them from my own observation and from state?
ments or others :
Two or more large stores on Vendue Bange^jcx
tending from Prioleau street towards East Bay, were
burned more than a year ago. These s tor s run through
from the Range to tho next parallel street south. Tho
store at the corner ol Prioleau and Vendue Range is
owned by estate of Napier, and the .next by estate Hiss
roon. The wall which fell was the partition waU between
these stores, and it fell almost entirely within the site of
Napier's store, a portion <aiH?ir? on the sidewalk on
Vendue Bange and a smaller portion on the- sidewalk on
tho parallel street .south, but none reaching Prioleau
street, which, by measurement ot tho City Surveyor, ls
fifty-two feet from the cost face of said wan. Had Frees
been with his dray in either of the three streets upon which
this store was si na ted, neither he nor his mule would
have been injured, whereas both were killed; but ho was
entirely within the walls of Napier's store, where he hod
for some time been in tee habit of leaving his dray at
night.
Ho was in the act of putting his mule to the dray when
the accident occurred. As Boon as I heard of it I went
to tho place, and though the body of Freon had been re?
moved, the dray and dead mule were stiU there to point
out the spot.
So far as the verdict of the Jury is concerned, I might
stop here, but it is as well to go on and slate the rule by
which I have been governed in this matter of pulling
down walls ofter a fire. ~
But very few walls are pulled down by direction of the
authorities that objections are not raised by the owners
of tho property, and for this reason I have only had those
thrown down which endangered the lives of persons pass?
ing on the streets. Interior walls, the fniHT,r> of which
would not affect the street, I do not conceive as coming
under my jurisdiction.
In this particular case, however, to show that the au?
thorities were not remiss, I would state that in July last,
those walls were reported as unsafe. The Agent of Estate
or Napier was immediately nolified by tho City Inspector
and he very promptly authorized the Inspector to employ
properjpariies to pull them down. This was done; the.walls
wer? pulled down to what was deemed by others a point
of safety, and the bill was paid by the agent.', ginee'that
time no report of the insecurity cf any of these walls has
been made, and I naturally supposed theygrere safe.
After a flin examination of circumstances and locality
I do most honestly acquit myself of any bflEe in this
matter (I say myself, as the blame, if-any, would Justly
attach to me, and no one-else), and, without further com?
ment, leave tho matter for the decision of the community.
