THE DAILY NEWS. TUc Fou m of Bitterness. 0, sky of clouds ! O, earth of graves 1 0, sea of gray and moaning waves ! 0, heart of bitterness, that craves Belief in overflow. I dreamed the earth was fair to sec : I dreamed the waves laughed merrily ; I dreamed the skies bent over me ; And smiled and loved me so 1 Alas ! 'tis not ta earth or skies The secret of this sorrow lies The secret of the tearful eyes. Th? bitter heart's o'erflow. 'Tis nearer vet : a Marah-Tring Deep opened in the heart to fling Its bundine spray o'er everything A cold gray mist of woe. My pitv God. Thou knowest what tree. Cast m these Marah waves, would be A thing to make them sweet for me As Eden's blessed streams. But if, in wisdom and ta love. This bitterness, Thou bid me prove, Let hope's fair rainbow bend above, And Marah glorious seems. PROCEEDINGS OF CITY toi \ t IL. REGULAR MEETING. CorscTL CHAITBEH, March 24,1868. Present-Colonel M.

Respectfully, B. M. STBOBEL, Clerk and Sup't. The committee appointed to district the engines of the city beg leave to report that, after a mature deliberation, they deem it ad? visable that the same should bc done, and at once carried into effect, and they believe that, with the present increased department, that much benefit will be the result, not only to the individual companies, bnt to the city at large. The department is now composed of seven steamers, five hand engines, and two trucks, which are the private property of the volunteer companies; four hand engines, the same belonging to the city. All are governed by the rules of the Board, and work under the city ordinances. They therefore submit that there shall be three districts, consisting of "Wards 1 and 3 forming the first, Wards 2 and 4 forming the second, and Wards 5, 6, 7 and 8 forming the third; Meeting-street being the dividing line east and west, and Calhoun-otreet north and south. The third district being froja the north side of Jalhoun-street, from river to river. That \ the following companies, viz: the Palmetto, Young America, Phoenix, German and Vigi? lant be used in the first district, consisting of Wards 1 and 8.

PHILIP WINE MAN To the Honorable the Mayor and Aldermen of Charleston: GESTLESEN-Wo the undersigned, ph\ cians of Charleston, havo noticed with mi regret that the real estate of Mr. M. H. C lins, druggist, late of No. 421 King-street advertised to bo leased for a term of years, pay taxes due since the war. . We therefore beg leave to recall to the me ory of such of your honorable body as wi here at the occupation of the city by the F< erais, what Mr. Collins did for the relief c Sortion of our community, then almost d' tute. Some of yon, gentlemen, must have seen 1 advertisement m the Conner, the day a fter t occupation of the city, in which he offered gi tuitous distribution of a large stock of dru and medicines to physicians and all in need them, if not able to purchase them; we here certify to that fact, and also, that he employ two clerks, in conjunction with himself, w were all constantly engaged in putting up ph siciana' prescriptions, and distributing mei cines to all in need of them. At this time the government medical rel stores bad not arrived, and did not arrive i some time afterwards. Mr. Collins not on extended relief in medical supplies, but to o certain knowledge assisted with his pur many of our most respectable families wi were*in the greatest distress. Mr. Collins has since met with reverses fro various < auses, the principal of which is tl inability of those indebted to him to meet the pavments. His real estate in the city, so far from bein a source of income, is now his chief cause i distress; we also assure your honorable boc that Mr. Collins is now unable to resume h business as druggist for want of that very s to*, of drugs and medicines which he so generous' gave away. Such generosity, we believe, will not be ove. looked by your honorable body. We therefore most respectfully petition, thi in consideration of such services rendered ou citizens in distress, this tax un Mr. Coliini real estate in the city be remitted up to the ls January. Had these medicines been furnished b the city at that time, their cost woul have paid not only the amount, of Mi Collins' taxes now due, but for severe years. In conclusion we beg leave most rc spectfully to submit to your consideration that by so doing, the City of Charleston wi] show that it ?B s'ill able to reward a generou act done by one of her citizens, and your peti tioners will ever pray, &c., ?fcc. I am cognizant of the fact, having remainei in the city at the time of its evacuation that Mr. Collins did furnish medicines au? assistance to those in need, and I endorse th above petition. H. W.

I am aware of the fact, that at the time o the evacuation of our city, that Mr. Collins die lome forward and open his drug Btore for thc benefit of the sick, who were unable to pur? chase medicines; these he furnished gratuitous? ly.

E., Charleston, March, 1808. ENGINEER'S OFFICE, i Cm- HALL, CHARLESTON, March 341b, 18?8. \ To the Houorable the Mayor and Aldermen of Charleston : GEMLE2IES-I have tiie honor, in reporting on thc subject of remodelling the Charleston Workhouse, tor converting it into a City Hos? pital, to present the mode and valuation ni the following manner : In order to obtain the most satisfactory arrangement that will secure ample ventilation and light, which are the essentials for an ho. pital, I have found it necessary to provide in my plans aud specifications of work for the ic moval of the massive walls aud partitions in tho basement and upper stories, which are not necessary in point of construction, but which were built ostensibly for the purpose of carry? ing out certain forms of arrangement, and guarding against the escape ol' the inmates of the building in view of its original purpose. Independently of such removals, I have found 1 it also necessary to provide for thc enlarge? ment of the window aud door openings, which, while their present size would afford, after the remora! cf the walls and partition* spoken of, a fair quantity of light for ordinary purposes would be inadequate for hospital ventilation. In submitting the plau and estimate, how? ever, I have presented the.n in such a form as to show a perfect and complete hospital to ac? commodate V.200) patients, allowing 1200 cubic feet of atmosphere to each patient. Should the window and door openings not be enlarged laterally, they must by all means be increased above theil present height and es? tended down to within a few inches of each floor. While the omission of the enlargement of the openings would very much diminish the cost of the proposed alteration, I do not think that the advantages to be gained by such en? largement, as provided for in the complete and perfect plan of improvement should be set aside from a consideration of any difference of cost, when such effective ventilation is to be secured by it. Flues for ventilation are provided in the walls and a free movement of air will be created by the means of suitable machinery operating therewith. By the demolition of the massive walls of basement and other partitions in the centre building, ample space is obtained for the construction of extensive staircase arrange? ments leading to the eastern and western wards on each floor, as may be seen in the proposed plan and section, and suitable and absolutely necessary in all well planned hospi? ta. 8. Upon the removal of all the partitions in the eastern aud western sections cf the building forming the present fells and supporting the roof, it will be necessary to strengthen the framing of snob, roof by means of a tension rod of iron, and iron straps applied to each princi? pal truss, section drawing. Arrangement of Dian-Easement_The cen? tral portion provides for, 1st. Vestibnle, hall and staircases ; 2d. Surgeon's office ; 3d. Apothecary shop; 4th. Examination room; oth. Store room : Cth. Porters room. The eastern and western section each-Base? ment.-1st. Kitchen; 2d. Wood and coal room; 3d. Baggage room; 4th. Laundry; 5th. Drying room, besides a large basement area, of 50 by 30, each section unapplied. First 8tory, Central Building-1st. Stair? cases; 2d. Surgeon's quarters; 3d. Surgeon's reception room; 4th. Wardmaster's room for eastern and western wards; 5th. Apothecary's quarters; 6th. Steward's quarters. Second Story, Central Budding.-1st. Opera? ting room; 2d. Reception room for patients to be operated upon; 3d. Room for patients under treatment after operation; 4th. Nurse's quar? ters. The eastern and western section on first and second stories form large ward rooms, two on each floor, of eighty by thirty feet, and forty five by thirtv; each ward room on the several floors has adjoining it suitablebath rooms, &c, the area of the tower's floors being well suited for the purpose. The towers on the extreme wings of the building, to the rear.are used for elevators and stairways; the elevators not only absolutely needed for carrying the sick from tho basement to the several floors, but with the stairways affording ready means of escape in case of fire. The building will be furnished with complete apparatus for healing, and also with water works. Commodious piazzas ou each Ftory fronting south and west form a part of the "proposed plan. Theso will contain flights of stairs from the basement to tho upper floor opposite the east? ern and western wards or sections. In presenting the matter of cost, I submit it so as to indicate the estimate of the whole and complete remodelling, and the separate esti? mates of the several parts of the building, viz : Total cost of improvement.$18.932.00 Less, if the enlargement of win? dows be not adopted. 3,000.00-15,032.00 Of this amount we have, on an average, 60,000 lbs. of iron, which can be sold at 2,'ic. $ lb 4,000.00 511,932.00 To which add, if the enlarge? ment of windows be adopted.. 3,000,00 Which will give the perfect and complete remodelling of the building, as per plans. $14,032.00 Cost of Central Building. 4,591.<10 Cost of either Eastern or West? ern Section. 7,606.00 Making the total coBt.... $12,196.00 From this amount deduct for old iron. 4,000.00 $8,196.00 BEPOBTS OF coamrnxES.

C.: GENTLEMEN-At a special meeting i Board of Health, held on the 23d inst., t! companying reports on the ''memorial c Faculty and Bourd of T-ustees of the M College of the Btate of South Carolina, the "Medical Society of South Caro which memorials were referred to this 1 by your honorable bod}, were submitted after careful consideration, nnanim adopted. Under the direction ot the Board, I hai honor of forwarding the same for your cc eration and approval. Very Kespectfu Your obedient servant, GEORGE S. PELZER, M. City Registrar and Clerk of Board of Hi The Board of Health, to whom was ref the memorial of the Medical Society of ? Carolina, which memorial was signe* twenty-four ol us members, several of v are prominent physich, as of the city, am of them a large tax-pnyer, acknowledge although there is displayed thronghou memorial a spirit that ultimates more a fe of disappointment in not having heret been able to carry out the wishes of the ] tees of the Roper Hospital, and it it opinion that bau the Council yielded fc frequent memorials of the Trustees o; Roper Hospital tor a renewal of the agreei for an appropriation of ;;50OO annually, this monal would not hav ) been sent, nor tv they now have charge 1 tho City Council extravagance and the wasteful ex;;enditui money. We presume that the signers of memorial will allow, after a comparison ol amount of taxes paici by them, and bj several members of Council, lhat the latte"] also interested in the tflairs of the city, ai blameablo for extra vag ince, which they dc admit. ha\e paid tases to a much gre extent than the memorialists. Of the twe four signatures, devon make uo rotuli real estate, one made return, but did not the tax. one paid a tax on real estate amoun to $1002, and the rema.Ding ten paid an ag gate of S1559; eleven or' the signers paid nc come tax; thirteen pa d c59G.35-total ami of taxes by memorialitits $3157.35. Seven aldermen paid tax ir their own name on estate, $5398; on accouat of others, as trust executors or agents, $7100; on income or st $5G94,83-total tax by aldermen, $18,191 Excess of tax by Aldermen over that paie me norialists, $14,936.18, or six times as mi In the comparison cf expenses made by memorialists, they take the population of city before the war, and a? au cue that in co: quenco of the population of the city being < third lower, that tho expenses should be ] port i ona! ly less, ignoring altogether the gre amount of pauperism among our citizens, v previous to the war, were in comfortable if affluent circumstances; and the records of hospital and almene use will show the nai of many such persons, and out of the assui reduced population there is probably an crease of fifty per ce lt, in the number req ing medical attendance flow, when comps with the same popul ttion previous to tho v The reply of the Riard of Health to the memorial of tho Trm tees of the Roper Hosp as to the number of :ases treated, and thee of the present Health Department to wi this Board w?l call t ie attention of the mei rialists, we would al JO call the attention of memorialists to the Registrar Report for '. year and to the report that will soon be p fished, as it showc a striking decrease in expense per capita nf the present Health '. partaient, and when compared with thc cos the same before th i war. Tho ignoring a ?ether of the increano of the number of pau freedmen places thc administration in a fi light beforo the community. Tho memorial] know full well that previous to th-2 war t slaves were paid for by their owners if sent the hospital, aud that it was a source of i nco and not an expense. Tho roreixing of alterations of tho Workhouse to the C Civil Engineer does not incur any expense the city. When the Board of Health reports t cost ot" tho same, and it id agreed io by Cot eil, it in your view it is extravagant, it mi* bo well for any clr.ss of citizens to prot against tho same, but the simple rcierei could hardly warrant such au outburst of dignation, unless the memorialists feared i consummation of such an alteration, might f ever defeat their cherished scheme of ob ta ing entire control of tho Health Departmc and renewal of thc: old arrangement for. t amount appropriated ($5000) by the city to t Roper Hospita) An to the assertion that t 'Workhouse cannot be made a respectable bc pital, thero is a difference of opinion arno: tho medical men. At a conference held in t Workhouse building, at which three or fo medical men (whose opinions are entitled respect), the remark was made by one of the "that it would make one of the most magni cent of hospitals, and that the Roper Hospit was one of the poorest constructed bnildin; for hospital purposes that had been erect? for that purpose.'' Tho memorialist j state "that by as curioi and perhaps illegal combination that the Sb rar's Dispensary hs? become entangled in tl extensive net work." Upon reference to Lt proceedings of a meeting of the Trustees < the Sbirar's Dispensary, held December 2 1866, Dr. J. J. Chi .-elm, one of the signers i the memorial offered the following resolurioi which was adopted : "That the physicians elected by the Boar of Trustees or th3 Sbirar's Dispensary wil for the present, form an integral part of tb medical organization of the city, under th supervision of the City Registrar. 8inco your memorial to Council the Trustee of tho Roper Hospital havo contemplated an endeavored to consummate an arrangemen with the military department very similar t that now existing between the city and tb military, which is so freely commented on ant condemned by the memotiahsts, which, if th application is carried into effect or not, will we trust, answer all charges as to the expen sive copartnership between the city and th? military, and the web of red tape which thc; advise as to sever. The opinions of some of the signers of the me monal must have undergone amaterial change as the Board recognizes the names of uusuc cessful candidates for position under the presen Health Department, and ono of them was one of the strongest advocates of the ordinance es tabbehint,' the Health Department, and foi some time held a position under it, and we saj as they do. In conclusion, let us not he mis? understood. We acknowledge tho right of our citizens to scan ell of our acts and make any suggestions that is for the good of the city, and we trust th it t he citizens will pive the Council credit for having done what they be? lieve to be righ t in the establishment of the Health Department, and which, after a trial ol twenty-six months, they have no reason to undo for the accommodation of any pat licuiar class of citizens, or for the advancement of tho in? terest of any ore institution, and which the Health Department regard, and statistics will show, as being ut economical and as efficient as any plan that-hat; boen suggested. It seems to be the first time in the history of the profession that so large a body of meaicdl men could sign a document recommending pub? lic provision for c ne class of tho people, leaving another, and by ar the larger and more indi? gent class, on the bounty of some outside source. M. COGSVELL, Ma vor and Chairman of the Beard. s. G. COURTENAY. Z. B. OAKES. JACOB SI LALL. WM. G. W HILDEN. GEO. S. TELZE?, M.D., Registrar. E. W. MARSHALL. Upon tuc memorial of the Faculty and Board Df Trustees of tl e Medical College of the State jf Smith Carolina, the Board of Health re? spect full;-' report, that while they assent 10 ali that is therein said as to thc value of a thorough ttud c-Ecient system of medica] edu? cation."as weil aa the advantages accruing to :he eily trow the numbers who come here to receive such education, thia board is of opinion ?hat these a?vmges are not impaired by the fact that the city retains the control of her hospitals. The je hospitals have always been jpen to the medical students for clinical in? struction, under such restrictions only as are usual elsewhere; aud though the Faculty, in :heir circulars for 18C6-'67, advertised "that finical instruction would be given to the stu lents at the city hospital, they have never as? signed any boora for this purpose. Still, many 11 the students have availed themselves of the pnvilege, the physicians of the hospitals ac? commodating 'hemselves to the convenience rf the students. It is true a fee of five dollars s paid by eat h student who attends these ilinics; but w>; are informed that such is the >ase elsewhere and the same fee was paid at he Roper Hospital previous to the war, though t is not now. The memorii.lists pray that the wards of the Jity Hospital 1 e placed in charge of the Pro? fessors of thelV.edieal College as medical offi ters, in ordei that the Faculty "be put upon : he same footing with other rival institutions, n all of which the Professors of the Medical Joileges are medical officers and clinical lec urers in the lublic hospitals." Much pains ; tave been take n to obtain correct information ; m this point, s nd the Board feels compelled to ; totice an orror of statement here. From in- \ [Uiry amonp many of the medical gentlemen of 5 he city, we learn that no where is clinical in- -i traction, given in public hospitals by other j 2 than tho attending physicians. In some of the ?? !,e4Onih0 ? 80ineof the Profes? sors are attending physicians of hospitals, and ?R.-I capaci?v d0 Rive such instruction. This, however, has never been the case here Even when the hospitals of the citv were placed under the direction of tho Facuitv, this duty was delegated to younger members of the profession, nor have they ever bad that privi? lege m the Roper Hospital among the general patients, though they had the privilege of sending special patients there for that purpose The memorialists are again in error when they say that the contract between the City Council and the Faculty was violated, "without cause assigned," by the appointment of Dr. DeSaussuxe as physician to the almshouse' with a salary. It is unnecessary to state at large in this report the reasons for that charge, but it was done upon the recommendation of a Committee of Council, after a careful consid? eration of the circumstances, which induced the Commissioners of the almshouse, by an unanimous vote, to ask Council to make'the change. As the proceedings of Council were regular? ly published in one at least of the city papers, the causes were no doubt, well known at the time, though from lapse of timt, have been forgotten. A3 the number requiring hospital attendance ha3 largely increased, and is still increasing, a a corresponding increase of expenses must be expected, and tho Board are of opinion that when the maintenance of these institutions is a charge upon the city, the city authorities should retain the control of them, and, there? fore, recommend that tho prayer of the memo? rial be not granted.

The Mayor communicated to Council the following military order, which was roferred to the Committee of Ways aud Means: HEADQ?ABTEBS SECOND MTLITART DISTRICT, ) CHARLESTON, 8. C., March 28, 1868. J [Special Orders, No. 69.] [EXTRACT.] I. So much of General Orders No. 139, of December 3,1867 (Appropriations, SevMon 7), as appropriates "for mamtauring and keeping open the Roper Hospital in Charleston, three thousand (3000) dollars," is revoked; and the said sum will be paid by the Treasurer of the State to the City of Charleston, to be applied, without regard to complexion, religion or na? tion, "to the relief of all such sick, maimed or diseased paupers as need surgical or medical aid." The same section is modified by trans? ferring from the appropriation of eight thou? sand (?OOO) dollars for the transient poor of the City of Charleston, the sum of two tbou saud (2000) dollars to the Medical College of South Carolina, to be expended under the di? rection of the Faculty in indispensable repairs of the college buildings, subject to the condi? tion that the necessary medical and surgical attendance at the City Hospital shall be ren? dered gratuitously by tho Faculty of that insti? tution, under BUCO, regulations as to police and supervision and application of, and accounta? bility for, the means and material, as mav be agreed upon and established by the United States and city authorities. *?#***?* By command of Brew LTaj.-Gen.

The Mayor called tho attention of Council to tho water flowine from the Artesian wells, and recommended that some action be taken to render it a benefit to the city. On motion the matter was referred to the Comraittco on the Artesian WelL The Mayor also stated that since the last meeting of Council he had looked over some of the former acts of Council, and was of opinion that the city was in duty bound to sustain the College of Charleston. He thought that, in consideration of the property received by the city from that institution, they were legally bound to support it. Whereupon Alderman Ravenel offered tho following resolution: Resolved, That it be referred to a Special Committee, of which the Mayor shall be one, to confer with a committee of the Trustees of trie College of Charleston, as to the best mode of carrying into effect the prayer of the memo? rial of the Trustes? and 'that of tho beneficia? ries of tho Boyce fund of the said College, with power to act.
