To U.norabie Mayor and Aldermen of thc < Charleston : GENTLEMEN: I respectfully call you* .ittcnt ho nia.iy small wells formed of iror^ pipes < iud a half to two inches in boro, and ?mik i ions parts of the city, with powerful n mmps attached. I always apprehended lancer to tho foundations of buildings neal ocatiou where tho stratum of quicksand is dight depth below tho pavement or bel? foundations of buildings. It will no doubt bo slid that there are c olaccs in the city whero thesevipes can bi with perfect safety to tho building near This I do not deny. But previous to end such opinion and sinking a well. I would di very iniportaut to test tho location by soul for tho depth of tho sand stratum, und fo; judgment from tho character and depth of tnterlying it aud tho surface, whether stn correct opiuiou or not. Recently, in ono streots of tho citv. a well was sunk, and ordinary' suction pipo attached; it had been but two months when, on making an exea for the purpose of building a drain near thc ity, it was discovered that a largo quantity o had been pumped out, and a cavity created tho sidewalk and within a few feet of tho bu which required for the safety of tho woik or turo 8cmo twenty cubic yards of soild mate fill it up. This* occurrod in ono of those whore the stratum of quicksand is but a fe below tho pavement or ou a lovel with tho fi tions of thc buildings. No explanation is further neoded for tho ( than to direct your thoughts to tho excav for fire wells and tidal drains, which you hi observed to oe satisfied of tho ?apid moven: quicksand in oozing from ita bed thc mom is tappe I and exhausted. Duty requires me, in (lie charge of this d mont, to bring tho above to your attention, hope your honorablo body, and tho citizen may bo interested in having such wells mad? consider that my motive in bringing this i beforo you is for* thoj personal safoty aud tl their property. Very respectfully submitted by Your obedient set vant, LOUIS J. BARBO: City Engin RETORTS OF COMMITTEES.

STELNMEYER, Z. B. OAKES, J. COSGROVE. By the Mayor: In February bust, City Council authorized tl Mayor to take the necessary stops provided by ai of Assembly for opening South street from Han per to America street. After long but unavoid ble delay, owing in part to tho absonco from ti city of ono of the property owners interested, tl several lots have boen appraised, in conformii with the law, amounting in all to $1350, currone The papers are in the hands of tho City Attorne who has notified me that ono of tho parties ht executed a conveyance of his loud to tho cit; which conveyance has been approved by him; a i [ would recommend that tho Mayor bo authorize to settle with the several parties, upon the a; proval by the City Attorney of thou* several deec of conveyance. The Mayor submitted the following statement: At the last meeting of Council a report was sal nutted by the Committee on Retrenchment an Relief, which rendors some remarks from mo al sohi! ely necessary. I submitting what I have to say, I do not wis! to be understood as objecting to any investigate of my official acts: on the contrary, I invito an OJ amination foU ana scrutinizing; and I think thal injustice, such an one should bo afforded mo. The Committee, in their report, say they "hav not been able to fiad any mode of reducing the ex Senses of the several deportments, or in which ue regard to economy has not beeu exercised with perhaps two exceptions." First of these i the police, but as the main expenso of this depart mont iu fixed by Ordinances, and tho amount o necessary racidentarexpcnscs, not thus providoc Tor, is small, it ?rill bo unnecessary to dwell oi Luis. The other department to winch special at ten ti on is invited, is that of Streets. That a very largo amount has bcon expended ii this department i s true, and that such expend? ture may be deemed injudicious, may possibly be equally true. Had the report ot tho Committee ?one no. further, I should have boon silent out when its language is such as to warraut an) or all of the many rumors which havo been cur? rent in our streets, to roman silent would bo au icknowledgemont of m ach, if not all, that has been soid. To give some idea of tho amount of work done, [ will state that since tho first of December last, ipward vt nine miles of side-walks havo boen curbed and guttered with plank and tilled with earth; new barricades built and streets filled with sartb on both sides of Rutledge and Calhoun jtrccts, where they croes Bennett's pond, as also that portion of Calhoun street bordering on thc pond, west of the residence of Mr. John S. Ryan; large quantities of earth and rubbish hauled mto some fifty streets, iu order to bring them to a proper grade, so that the water would run off after i ram. In addition to this, some thirty or mero ivooden trunks (soine of largo sizo and consider* ole strength-, have been built. My estimate of the average width of tho side-walks filled with cai'th is eight feet, and I believe this will bc under rather than over tho true average. The extent of repairs to tho brick pavements in ;he lower wards is not so oasily arrivoa at, but thc jills for this worn aro all made out in accordance -fith thc measurement of tho City Surveyor and Engineer. To effect this work, much material was required, md an examination of the bills will show that all ;he materials wcro bought at market prices, nor vas the purchase of materials confined to particul? ar parties, but they were obtained where they Mould be got most advantageously. A Uttlo moro than one-third of the expenditure n this department was paid for hauling or cart ige, and when the vast amount of earth and other naterial to bc moved is considered, it does not ippear disproportionate. A portion of tho carts ivas employed at $3 per day ; tho rest wore paid by tho load, at various rates accord'.ng to distance, principally at 30, 35 and 40 cent? per load. Aa it argo number of carts wcro cmplovcd, some supcr ri8ion was necessary, and parties frere ump.oycd to keep account of tho number of loads made* bv sach, with instructions not to give credit for smail md imperfect loads, thu? taking every reasonable precaution asainst imposition. Tho large payment ra Jjno is easily explained. Up to tue 1st March all these bills were paid ?veokly," or, in some few instances, every two weeks, so that a small portion onlv of tho* work )f ono month was paid for in tho ensuing month. When, in the month of March, owing to the want of means, I had it in contemplation to slop all vork on tho streots, tho Inspector suggested that oartiCB might bo got who would wait until the ??ty was iu funds. Such an arrangement was nade, and an inspection of .he bills will show hat one-half or moro of the amount paid for sartago in Jane was for woik dono in March, tipril and May. The samo will apply to billa for naterials purchased, though to a loss extent. To show that thc amount oi work clone, though t may have boen injudicious, has conduced to the i lonefit of thc city, let us c mpare the condition i f the citv this season with that of 1866. In the months of May and June, 18tji?, tho fall of ain was 94 inches (4.81 and 4.95 respectively). In | ho same months this year tho fall was 172, of i rhich 1.322 fell in June. In 18GG, there were ti 1 umber of placos which held water, and were 1 oustant causes of complaint, which, with a single 1 xception, have been filled or drained so that thc e rater runs off in a few hours. During one week 1 a the mouth of Jane last, there was an especially t leavy fall of iain, nearly 7 inches having fallen f rom' Wednesday morning to Sunday morning. S The rain ceased Sa.urday night. On tho Mon- a lay next ensuing, tho Mayor visited ull these t daces, and with the single exception already rc- it erreel to, found them without water, showing that '! ne of the principal objects of tho work was at- t ained. . li With these remarks and explanations, I submit a. he matter, with a full conviction that an cxanii- n lation or the work dono, together with the coBt of lc aatenal used and labor eniploved, will show that le 10 city bas recoivcd thc benefit of tho lent. * Whereupon Alderman Marshall moved (hr jeeived and published.

Bc it, therefore, Rcroivco, That tho'President and Dircc ibo Blue Ridge Railroad be requested to i Council with a statement of tho affairs Company-that is to say, how much of the ixpendtturcs was furnished by tho City and how much by other corporations (if any), ai much by pri'vato individuals; also thc pres bilitios of tho samo, and if tho road is uni mortgages. Further, to give tho number o that are completed of said road, and tho n of milos th >t are yet unfinished, in order lc tho boundary ot thc State; also to give, if TIC the cost of thc road that has boen comple else an estimate of tho same, and thc amou has been expended on that portion that bc under construction. Further, to givo tho r< and expenditure of tho road sinco tho Gre and Columbia Road has been in order airaii ii' an annexation t > thc Greenville and Co Road (Anderson Branch), and to run one ci ed daily tram from Walhalla to Belton, an again, would not increaso tho receipts road considerable, and reduce tho expendit comparison; and further, to give inion wheth r an agreement was ever mado bi them and the Greenville and Columbia Roa the South Carolina Road, respecting the ratio charges. Previous to putting tho question lo poa Alderman Marshall arose and made a short ment, showing the groat importance of p the Bill thi3 evening. Tho question was ] postpone and lost. The question then recurred on I ho pass! tho Bill as amended to its second reading Alderman Gerdts moved to lay tho Bill < table, and said: Council is as rash in passing this Bill a Ercdcccssors were on rating tho money f uildmg of the road. I object to tho Bill, bl there never was a road in bouth Carolina tba seven por cent, per annum, and w >uld, thor bo equal to giving it away. I object to tb beciu8e it will not creat? confidenco to i capitalists and others to embark into this sci They wotdd say, it is truo you abstain from t any dividend unless it is over seven percent, at the Bamo time, by tho largo amount of that you own, you retain entire control OT road; and your mode of management mish suit ns. 1 object, because there is a reaso certainty that we will bo ousted of tho road i samo manner a? wo have boen of tho Savt Road; for two classes of shareholders will this about sooner than anything oise. Thes my objections to tho Bill, and I trust then- ar ficicnt to causo Council to pause; for there old adage, "better not to rnako a bargain a than to make a bad one." I Bay let us inv :sl this mattel- thoroughly first, and, as far as knowledge hus reabhod. now. I tumk I can poso a bo ter plan that tba i] i!) offered. I v Hay-our financial difficulties will hot Mont?t tho present to contributo more funds ;t,/ward road, but have, nevertheless, full confidonc tho enterprise, aud bclicvo that if tho road < only bo built that it not only would be a great efit to Charleston, and tho uouutty generally would also be ono of tho best paving roads Sc on ace?

They know to a fraction the I af knavery, which,"if it bo gracefully, may I ?iiecessfully practiced, and aro well avaro t thc timely concession ol'a ehadow, they eau always retain thc substance.

It i rably certain that thc possession of childroi provious marriage is 110 kind of drawback prospects ot a widower in contracting a 1 alliance, whether uec.iueo of tho angelic co sion inherent to the fcuunino*haturc, which women yearn to bo mothers to tho motberk from a somewhat different spirit, which < thom to long for a strife in wnich tho wife most stu'e of vicLorv. though sho may lea1 battlo wearied and bleeding from all her wt and thc triumph bo but over boys and girls, sometimes happens, over the lingering mern a departed spirit.

On Friday Judgo UNDERWOOD dolivored bi? barge to thc Grand Jury of tho United 8tates lircuit Court at Richmond-we make tho following xlract : "Dut I learn that at the present session another nd new class of crimes will be brought up for our consideration, 'Ihcso aro perjuries arming rom the la*o registration. To loyal and tried men a you, gentlemen of tho Grand" Jury, are known o "bo, advice from thc Court upon this sub cct may seem almost superfluous. I teel t my duty, however, lo say that a conrso emporcd ny duo moderation should be pur? umu in your invcstigationH. I ca-inot doubt ;hat many crimes of thia nature havo been ?ommittoil, that many havo porjured themselves n order to obtain tho privilogo of franchise, but t would seem that great caution should bo ob? served before a presentment is made. Dear iu mind that concerning a largo number of whom rou and 1 believe to have committed perjury, ibero is a widi diffjrenco of opinion among loyal men, and taoso high in authority. Somu of our fellow-citizens have probably boon guided by tho expressed opinion of thc Attornoy-Uencr.il, who, von will romember, is the highest legal authority known to tho law. These can urge with much plausibility that there is much excuse for them if tho Attorney-General agreed in their construction of the Congressional acts. Tho Commanding General of this District, also, has expressed some views with which you mav not personally coin? cide, and which dc- not seem to agree with thc legislation ot Congress at thc lato session. lloro, toy, I would urge forbearance, ?is the accused might plead that ho bad been guided by tho Gen? eral's opinion. ,:It is scarcely advisable to indict any, therefore, but thoso who have been flagrant perjurers. Do not aim at tho misguided, uneducated and igno? rant, but mark the leaders and other well-known individuals who have falsely sworn. I would call your attention to postmasters, thoirassistants and deputies, all of whom, I am informed at the Post o?lice Department, havo always been required to subscribe to an oath of allegiance to tho Unitod States Government. If afterward they havo cn gaged in rcbollion, and then registered, it is for you to consider whether thoy aro perjurers." In conclusion, the Judgo again urged modera tion, and in this connection referred to his own viows on tho freedom of the press, which he thought should always bo allowed to tho fullest extent. Better allow encouragement of troason than exerciso a governmental censorship over newspapers, tor in timo the most violent journals will sting themselves to doatb. This view he had advocated two yoars ago wbon advisod by the General-in-Chief of tho Armies of Ibo Unitod Statos to prosecute secession journalists.
