Tothe Honorable. Mayor and Council.
City of Charleston, S. C.:
? Bras-The premises at present hired by thc city
authorities, at the rate of S25 per month, for the use
of th? company which I represent, are entirely inad?
?quate to the actual wants of the company ; the house
ia cramped, covering barely space enough for the
housing of the truck, the floor rotted and uneven,
the root leakv, the walls damp, the doors insecure,
and, altogether, the building is unfit for even a sta
.She efficiency of the company is thereby seriously
iure aired, and ita apparatus injured. I therefore pe?
tition your honorably-body for more suitable accom?
modations, and ask that the Chief Engineer be em?
powered to lease the building known as Nc. 139 Mar?
ket-street for the use of this ?pmpany. The owners
of the property, Messrs. D. Lopez* s-ons, are willing
to pat in repair and flt up the building in a suitable
manner for a track house and meeting room, and to
lease the same for a term of three years, at au annual
rental of $400.
This is but a alight advance cn the present expense
Urtho city, and will place it in possession of a valua?
ble public building until such time as it may be
financially able to erect proper tenements for the use
ofthis and other fire companies.
Confident that this change would materially sub?
serve the interests of the municipal government, I
beg your early consideration,
And am yours, very respectfully,

BEPOETO.
By Alderman Bavenel : .
The petition of W. H. Collins, druggist, referred 1
to Committee of Way? and Means:
y OTU- committee, on. examiu\tien, find that Mr.
Collins chums compensation for bia extreme liberali?
ty in dispensing his drugs to mat; y rf quiring them I
at or soon arter the evacuation of Charleston, and j
asks that this compensation bc made by Council by <
an order to remit the taxes due by him. Mr. Collins ,
does not even state the vah?o of tho medicines dL- ,
tributed, li Mr. Collins has any claim against tho
city, be should render a roil statement ot items and '
the amount, when it would be referred to the proper 1
committee, who would examine into it and report <
fully to Council, and if Council are satisfied that <
Mr. Collins is entitled to compensation, it will be so t
ordered. Thc remiting or taxes as a set off for :
claims against Ute city is so manifestly a dangerous t
precedent, that your committee recommend that no <
such proposition be considered, and that ah claims '
-against the city must be clearly defined, and pay?
ment of all taxes required to be paid at the treasury. '
The petition of Mrs. M. D. Whitney, also sent to 1
your committee, praying for compensation for dam- ]
ages to her house, injured by a mob, and asking i
that her taxes he ordered to be cet off as against her ]
claim, involves the same precedent as that in tho j
case of Mr. Collins. Tour committee therefore re- |
spectfully recommend that both petitions be not
granted. WILLIAM BAVENEL. j

THINGS IN "WASHINGTON.
THE CABINET UNTTED. CN THE PPESIDENT'S POLI?
CE-PRESIDENT JOHNSON STILL CONFIDENT OF
VICTOR!.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti?
more Gazette writes:
For the first time since tho accession of j
Preeideut Johnson, his Cabinet are now a unit
upon his policy. You will hear, however, ROS
sip enough to tho contrary, and sage revela?
tions of audacious projects on tho part of the
Executive. General Tliomaudoubtless attend?
ed the Cabiriet meeting yesterday, anti Stan?
ton did not ; but y om* reviere are aware that
this fact furnishes no reason for interdicting
"cakes and ale." The President can invite or
exclude nnv one from these agreeable reun?
ions-they being entirely outside the constitu?
tion, and* so far as I know, none of the vaned
legislation of Congress has yet attempted to
interfere with them. Mr. Sumner, sometime
ago it ia true, contemplated bringing in a bill
providing that such consultations should be
held "without regard to race or color," but I
think it hus not yet become "a law"-nor.has
that other bill, compelling tho President to
invite Hr. Stanton and hugg him to his besom
twice a week. So I do not think tiii.- last
"Thomas embroglio" will even add n siucle
additional article to the string of "high crimes
aud misdemeanors" sc: forth in the impeach?
ment.
The President, notwithstanding thc strenu?
ous efforts ir. progress to compel him to ..swal?
low tho leek," is still riim and plucky. He is
confident of victor; in the approaching .strug?
gle, and assures hin friends that "all will come
around righi.."' A goori sign that his hopes are
well founded may be seen in tho adherence of
bis Labinet to his fortunes, it ia proverbial
that "rats leave ii Len booses," end if immi?
nent danger were uhca-l. I am positive thai at
east, four out of the seven ministen would
inickly show thc bottoms of their feet ia the
tither direction.
?ADICAL REJOICINGS OVER NEW HAMT.JHIRE- EX?
EMPTION OP MANUFACTURES TEOM TAXATION.
The Radical gratulatious over tho result of
the Now Hampshire election arc perfectly wild
ind uncontrollable. The handshaking which
maned this morning amoug tho congressmen
)f that faith was fearful. Mr. Sumner unbent
so much from his usual hauteur as to go all
iround the Senats chamber to proffer his grat
llation to bib party associates. During the
lay the two New Hampshiro Senators, Messrs.
Dragin and Patterson, were constantly sodding
telegrams, which wore quickly passed around
noone the faithful. Mr. Nye, who is charac?
terized by a facetious turn of mind badgered
Senator Dixon, and told him Connecticut
ifould do likewise in April. In regard to this
election, it may bo stated that tho result has
lot surprised the well-informed here of either
party. The Radicals threw all their energies
into the contest. An immense amount of
noney was raised in this city and sent on to
irfluenco voters. Mr. Rollins, the commis?
sioner of internal revenue, who resides in New
Hampshire, waa on the spot, lending all the
influence that he could command in aid of the
Radical cause. Despite all the efforts which
iavo boen made the Radical majority is in
:reased scarcely, if any, over that of last year,
md a comparison of the vote will show'that
ill tho Radical gains are principally confined
to the border towns, where no doubt the sys?
tem of colonization was can i ed on to a great
octant
Tho House bill exempting manufactures from
taxation, which passed yesterday, is but a
3hrewd dodge of tho Radicals to hoodwink the
manufacturers and business men of tho North,
ind is intended particularly to influence New
England elections. The Senate finance com?
mittee had it under consideration this morn?
ing, und havo already resolved to restore to
tue taxable list a number of articles that were
struck out. It will probablv not be reported
nntil after the Connecticut election.
The Admission of Alabama.
REPORT OF THE RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE, ?C
Thc following report upon thc recent elec?
tion in Alabama, and bill for the admission of
that State into tho Union, was presented from
the reconstruction committee in the House of
Representatives on Tuesday last :
The committee on reconstruction, to whom
was referred the application of Alabama, ask?
ing admission into tho Uniou as a sovereign
8tate, report
That it is their intention to pursue'the spirit
if not the letter of the law of March 23, 1807,
entitled "An act supplementary to an act to
provide for tho more efficient government of
tho rebel States, passed March 2, 1867, aud to
facilitate restoration.''
Tucy especially intend to enforce the spirit
of that law when there seems to be any conflict
in the facts in evidence between the spirit and
tho letter. Such is the true principle laid
down by moral jurists for tho government of
judges. Ry the act two things were evidently
intended. Ono was to admit Alabama as aState
if, after full roRistrat:ou, with time tor deiibera
ti n, ti majority of her citizens should bo in
ia vor of oumission. Thc other was to prevent
hasty aud precipitate legislation before the
people bhould hiivc duly examined tho subject.
Hence the law provided that not only Akbaim]
but all the conquered territory should have ali
her legal vutors registered by proper officers,
and if a majority ot legal voters thus register?
ed should cast their votes in favor of a consti?
tution, a convention should be ordered for tao
purpose of fri>ming one ; but if a majority ol' all
the registered votes by either their own volition
or Casualty, should not bo cast against a con?
stitution, "tliey should still bo counted in the
negative-a most tmuaual provision in our or
any other government, but in ordinary times
i*u: of little effect, except in so far a6 removals
and deatiis took piac? between the time of re?
gistration aud tho timo ot voting. On the day
of the Alabama election a niest extraordin?r y
and unexpected state of things cxi.-tted. lu ?
very large portion of tho State, especially iu
the Republican portiou of the stale, a very
severe storm raged from morning tonight.
Thc otrer.ms were swollen to such au impas?
sable degree, that it is testified toby Governor
Smith, now elected Governor of the State, and
other responsible gentlemen, that it kept fruin
the polls numbers cf voters who would other?
wise have attended. lu u [tempting to reach
places of election one or moro persons were
irowned, which delayed many from proceed?
ing further. Thus all those who chose to stay
iwav were counted as voting against the con
?tituli n, though if they had all gone and
,-oted .'gainst it, it would not have changed
he rcsuK from a positivo majority in its tavor
o a majority againut it.
Thi3 feature alono of this nnfortunate elec
ion is sufficient, in the opinion of the com
nitteo, to admit tie State, because a large
majority of the legal rotera then in tho State
arc known to have cast their ballots for it.
Besides, a very large proportion of the register?
ed electora were deterred, by thc most infamons
threats, from coming to the polls, or when
there, from casting their votes for the conivtitu
I tion. Very few white men did, and very few
! black men'dared thuB to cast their votes, lest
I they should bo doprived of food, for which
they are greatly Buffering. All this is distinct?
ly proved by the sworn testimony of thc most
resp?C-?abJe portion of Alabama, Indeed,
nearly two hundred laborers have voluntarily
come"forward singl>and testified to their vio
lent discharge since the election by their cruel |
employers, for having exercised the elective J
franchise according to their own will and pleas-1
uro. A careful analysis -ha3,bee? 2re?.!?
neariv as could be, of tho number of votes that
were "destroyed, boxes seized and thrown out
of the window, and other modes of violence
need to destroy them, and it is believed ?-om
all this that the number of votes". tinja de?
stroyed and doterred from tbe polls by vto
i lenee, outrage and fraud, had they been cast.
I would have overbalanced all th'os? counted .
1 against the constitution, whether cast or eon-1
meratedas cast, by reason of Sickness, abseW
or deaths - ' , .
Sometime before the Alabama election the
convention Baw tho injustice ol tho law, and
requested Congress to restore the majority
principle in the vote upon tho adoption of the
constitution.. The House did not hesitate,
Tx-rceiving its justice, to pass such an act, and
sent it to theSeuate. The Senate, by some
unaccountable delav, from motives which it is
hard to fathom, suffered that act to sleep upon
their riles for two months', until after the fate
of thc Alabama election was announced. They
then took it np and passed it, and it has now
passed both houses of Congress.
The principle, therefore, that a majority of
i the votes cast should govern has been restored,
and vour committee can see no reason why it
should not govern in the present case. The
circumstance of the almost unheard of storm
on the day of election, the violence of human
passion but little loss malignant and raging,
and the wild frenzy of the former masters at
the polls, together with the evident injustice
of the principle in question, upon which no
one has yet acted, seem to vom- committee to
demand that Alabama should be admitted to
tie Union as ono of the States thereof.
But while this free people are rebuilding a
mighty nation in which there must be uo taint
of despotism or injustice, they have examined
carefully all the provisions of the constitution,
and as a precedent which they hope will never
be departed from, but which becomes neces?
sary by the injustice of the sister States,
they have determined that no State Bhall ever
be admitted into the Union where the right of |
universal suffrage shaD not be made perma?
nent and impossible of violation.
Fearing also that some cunning scheme
' might bo devised by which peonage, such as
is airead}* established in some of the North
American States, might be created, they re?
commend the passage of the following act :
" Whereas the people of Alabama, in pursu?
ance of the provisions of an act of Congress 1
entitled '-An act for th 1 efficient govern?
ment of the rebel ..os, passed March 2,
1867, and the acta supplementary thereto,
have framed a constitution of State govern?
ment which ia republican in form ; and where?
as at an election held, commencing on the 4th
of February, 1868, a large majority of the
legal voters of said State voting at said elec?
tion voted for the adoption ol' ?aid constitu?
tion; thereforo
' i>'e il enacted, dr., That the said State of |
Alabama shall he recognized and admitted as
one of the States of the United States of ]
America, and shall bo entitled to representa?
tion in Congress a? soon as tho legislature of
said State-the members of which were elected
at tho election mentioned in the preamble to
this act- shall have .lulv ratified tho amend?
ment to tho Constitution" of the United States
proposed by tho Thirty-ninth Congress, and
known as article 14.
.'SEC. 2. .4nd bc ?further enacted, That said
State of Alabama shall be recognized and ad?
mitted into the Union upon the following con?
ditions, lo wit : That the right of suffrage of I
citizens of tho Uuitod States shall never be
denied or abridged in Haid State on account of
ra?.-, color, or pro viona condition of servitude,
and Congress shall have power to annul any
act of said Sta-tc Legislature in violation or in
derogation 0f tho provisions of this act."
Tho bill was ordered to bo printed and was
niado the special order ior Wednesday.

NITROGENIZED SUPER-PHOS?
PHATE OF LIME.
rpSE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE GIVEN B BLOW
_L of planters during the past season, fully es ablish
aR the advaetages claimed for this well-known FER?
TILIZER: .
Received the highest premium awarded to Fertil?
izer? by the American Institute of New Yon, held
October, 1867.
For full report, with analysis made by ti e Com?
mittee of the Institute, composed of Dr. C. E Brea,
Professor J. G. POULE, and other prominent chem?
ists, see pamphlets.
The distinguished feature of this SUPER PHOS?
PHATE lrom other similar FerrRizcrs is, tba-, all of
its ingr?dients are of animal origin, and ate either
soluble in water, or xn a condition to quick!-, ? become
soluble in tue soil and bo taken up by the ero" ).
Contains no inert or mineral materials.
The proper relative proportion of the lng redienta
in MAPES' SlPER-PHOSPHATE to meet there
quirements of the Cotton crop on Georgia an 3 South
carolina soils, is fully proved by the ezper .euee of
planters who testified that wherever applied, even to
land noted for rusting cotton, the disease is entirely
corrected, and a healthy, vigorous growth pi educed.
On the same land Peruvian Gnano and othir fertil?
izers have failed to secure a healthy growth.
REPOSTS FEOH PLANTEES; 1867.
For Letters in full set Descriptive Pump hlet.
Dr. E. M. ROYALL, Christ Church Parish, writes
Applied at the rate of ISO to 300 pounce pt r acre on
11th April, on 33 acres blue clay land, a ;ood deal
worn from being planted in cotton from 18; 7 to 1807,
with'only one year's rest during that time, and not?
withstanding ?ie long continued cold and heavy rain,
and gales during the spring and summer, i bout the
first of September the crop on this field wis estima
ted by some of (mr best judges to premise a yield of
180 to 200 pounds fine Sea island Cotton L nt to the
acre. Notwithstanding tho ravages of the caterpillar,
the first cotton picked was from the field on which
MAPES' PHOSPHATE was used, and it has made
about 65 pounds to the acre, while no o ?ber man?
ured land made over 45 pounds. Has used M APES'
PHOSPHATE on melons, potatoes and the garden
with satisfactory results.
THOMAS S. SALTES, Washington Count; -, Go., re?
ports that seventy-five pounds per acre on old land
increased both the Cotton and the Corn hree-fold.
Considers it far more economical than Peruvian
Guano.
Dr. E. PAEBOSS, Sandersville, Washington County
Ga., says:
"My observation is that MAPES' SUPiSR-PHOS
PHATE is a preventive against rust :n Cotton.
Has about doubled the Cotton and trebled the Corn.
Has done better than Peruvian Guano per pound."
J. W. SCOTT, of same section, reports:
"That his crop manured with Peruvian Guano was
far more effected by drought and excessive rains
than where MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE was used.
Miall use MAPES' in preference to any fertilizer he
ha.? seeu used by his neighbors."
W. H. SPARKS, Eatontou, Ga., reports:
"On land about nab covered with icdgc, and
which had not been cultivated in two years, when
the m au uro was put on, badly manured, crop would
yield two pounds where the unmanured would yid 1
one."
B. B. HAMILTON, Americus, Ga., repon*:
"Obtained the most satisfactory results from
MAPES* SUPER-PHOSPHATE, applying it as a top
dressing. Considered to hive bad tho best garden
this year in sc utUwcstera Georgia."
W. J. ANDERSON, Fort Valley,Ga., reports:
"MAPEV eUt-ER-PHOSPHAPE has doubled thc
crop ot cotton in every t ase reported, and some re?
port lt hos more than doublpd their crop. On wheat
and oats the results are veiy satlslactory."
D. A. WARNOCK. Beach Branch, & C., reports:
"On land which always rusted cotton, Increased
the crop twofold; cs fine cotton as he lias seen this
year. Prevented rust Four rows miminured rust?
ed in August Everything the MAPES' SUPER?
PHOSPHATE was tried on did well Ootfon stool
the cold weather in Spring; kept perfectly green,
and growed finely; han beat Peruvian '7uano in his
neighborhood. Relieves :t to bo the ussr Manure
now in usu."
E. R. LILES, merrilie, An?on County, N. C., re?
ports:
"As compared with Peruvian Guano and Raugh's
Super-Phosphate, the result was decidedly in favor
of MAPES' SUPHER-PHOSPHATE; attributed, be?
yond doubt, to the fact that the ravage M of the rust
were not, by a marked dijftrenct, so se rere where it
was applied as where the other manurei were."
JAMES MCMEEKES, Alston, S. C.. reports:
"Uecd a ton of Peruvian, and found the result but
ono half as compared with tnose from MAPES'
SUPER-PR OSPH ATE. Soil mostly san dy, with clay
subsoil. Markeu difference in tho eiz* of the bolls,
in favor of MAPES' SUPER-PHUSPHATE. On Cot?
ton plants thc increased growth was shout 100 per
cent"
JOHN R. HATE, Mima, S. C. :
"Cotton was more vigorous and healthy, and ma?
tured at least two weeks earlier where MAPES*
SUPER-PHOSPHATE was used as compared with
other Fertilizers applied. MAPEs' tUPER-PHO
PHATE produced li 0 pounds per ac? more Cotton
than Rhodes', Super-Phosphate, and CU pounds per
acre more than Soluble Pacific Guano. Same quan?
tity of each. 150 pounds, used to the a:rc, cultivated
in the same manner. MAPES' SUPER PHOSPHATE
more tbau doubled the yield of Cotton."
R. s. YENNING, Chri6t Church Paitsh, S. C., re?
pot ts:
"One application, 200 pounds MAPES' SUPER
PHOSFH .TE, per acre, made the cotton grow to the
height of sis lee', wheie it grew only two feet the
year before. Considers MAPES' iUPER-PHOS
PHATE the best Fertilizer for SEA ISLAND COT?
TON, and would safely recommend lt to all plont
ers."
S. C. MEANS, Spartanburg, S. C., wiites:
"Used 240 pounds per acre, applied May 18th. Can
safely fay never saw a mote vigorous jrowth impart
ed to cotton from the use of any manure. Satisfied
thc use of MAPES' sUPER-PHOsPHAT? pays hand?
somely,"
Rev. W. A. MEEHIWETHEE, VaRe Cruds, near Co?
lumbia, S. C., reports:
"MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE hus gives perfect
satisfaction, and that it permanently improves the
soil Has no hesitation in saying it is the special
manure for the turnip and Irish pota:o."
P. C. PENDLETON, Valdoston, Ga., y iTites :
.'MAPES' SUPER-PHOsPHATE hus exceeded my
most sanguine expectations. The effects of its use
on Corn, Peas aud Garden Vege ablcs was most
marked. If it can be always kept up to the stan?
dard it must take the pieference of all fertilizers in
use."
M. B. HUNTER, Quitmr.n, Ga., reports:
"Applied at thc rate of ISO pounds per acre upon
every alternate four rows. The result was truly as?
tonishing. The manured rows yid led fully double
the neighboring alternate rows."
