THE DAILY NEWS. Joy in Sorrow. LY GERTRUDE li. HAZARD. We commend to our readers the exquisitely beauti fQl poem that follows, which we tate from tbe New port (I!. I ) Mercury. It ie not often that the highett moral truth is expressed with such patho? ana ?OBcJ ty of illustration. Genius and piety ba*e unitedIto make plain to our understanding*, and acceptable and dear to our hearts, the rehgion. pnncip.e that -Borrow is knowledge, and grief the wiae. It is hard to attain to this wisdom, but- when attained the darkness becomes light, and on. pam. however rueced and difficult, becomes smooth and sKht The darkest problems of lue are solved. rK ?- "S. ?ai more than reconciled, to trials which seem to bc ^o?irfFOn/ " - It is pleasant to know that the girted anthoiess of testender hvmn, though of the State of Rhode Is? land bv nativity and residence, is a descendant of a dis?neui^bed lady of South Carolina, a sister of Mr. Joseph Peace, the very able and accomplished senior law-partner of Langdon Cheves. Fasten your souls so high, that constantly The smile of your immortal cheer may float Above all floods of earthly agonies, Purification being the joy of pam. E. B. BBOWSESG. O Thou who art our Father and our Mother, We bow with reverent love unto the Power Which not in wratb, but tenderly and wisely, Fias led our trembling footsteps to thia hour. With souls thai thrill to the deep bliss of being As keenly as they quiver at Life's pain, And eyes that look beyond this mortal seeing, We know we call not on Thy name in T?in. We thank Thee more than for earth's fleeting pleas? ures. For all our withered hopes, for grief and sin. Which opened to our soul's pride-blinded vision A hidden well-spring of pure joy within. We'll lift to Thee our hands, bereft of treasure, Standing 'midbroken idols, round na arrows; 0, not in gifts alone, but in bereavements, Thy love is rolly and completely shown. We mourn no more our fairest dreams departed, No tears fall fast above our buried youth; The spirit knowe co age, kept verdant ever. By streams unfailing from Thy fount of Truth. Eyes wet by sorrow's tears have clearer vision. Hearts wounded, flee, 0 Healer, onto Ihme, And with the sacred joy of grief, Great Spirit, We *>""iv Thee, kneeling at the inner shriue. That Life bot shadow is of Death, the real, Whose touch diviner breaks the bonds of clay, And forth to rapturous sounds of angel singing Leads the glad spirit on its homeward way.

HONOUR. . B. .M. BUTLER. The Committee on Retrenchment and Relie to which was referred the petition of sand persons, addressed to His Honor the Mayor, r questing that he would invite the pbysiciai who endorsed a memorial bp Council, asking remission of taxes duo by Mr. M. H. -Collin which had been referred to the Committee Ways and Means, and who had reported a versely thereon, to meet for the purpose of a sessing the value of medicines furnished t Mr. Collins to the public, and making Bai memorial a part of their petition, ask leave i report: That the petitioners set forth that at the tim of the " occupation of the city by the Fed( rale," Mr. M. H. COII?BB, who was the proprii tor of a drug store in King-street, freely, an of his own accord, advertised in the Courier, t distribute gratuitously his "stock of drug and medicines to physicians and all in need c them, if not able to purchase them;'' and tha he did so distribute them. That in conse quence of "reverses from various causes," h is now unable to pay the taxes due on his rea estate, and they ask the city to pay to Mr. Col lins such sum as may be assessed as the valu of the medicines distributed by him. Dre. H. W. DeSaussure, S. L. Lockwood, Jnc S. MitchelLW. M. Fitch, A. Fitch.C. Laney Mey er, and B. F. Shier, certify to the fact that Mr Collins did distribute medicines gratuitously Dr. R. A. Kinloch, "upon the representations ? the above physicians, unites in recommending the petition for favorable consideration j" ant Dr. C. Davega, "having known Mr. Collins fo: several years, and having been acquainted witl tne many acts of charity and kindness per formed bv him," also endorses the petition while Dr..J. J. Chisolm certifies that "Mr. Col lins was relieved trom the position of aceni and apothecary under him, as Medical Purvey, or, in June, 1862;?' so that the committee con? sider the fact as established beyond all contro? versy, t:at Mr. Collins did distribute med? icines gratuitously "to all in need of them, il not able to purchase." Messrs. T. 8treet, G. A. Trenholm, J. H. Tavlor. G. Dowie, and P. Wineman. certify that Mr. Collins is ''perfectly honest anil straightforward," and bear testimony to his "intelligence ind just dealing." To "all this the committee cheerfully and willingly accede, though they are not aware that the "honesty," "just dealing" or "intelligence'' o? Mr. Collins have been called in questioa. They will go much farther than these gentlemen, ?:.d have no hesitation in saying that ^TJS justlv enti? tled to great praise for his kindness and gene? rosity in voluntarily contributing to the relief of the poor and needy in a time of great dis? tress; but what all this has to do with "tue for? mer prestige of Charleston," how it establishes the fact that "a just debt of honor" has been incurred by the city, or that it ia a "matter in? volving the honor of the citizens generally," the committee confess their utter inability to perceive. Mr. Collina informs y ur committee that at the time of "the occupation of the city by the Federals" he was not onl v possessed of a," large stock of drugs and medicines, but an ample supply of money, both m gold and Uni? ted States currency; that not intending to con? tinue the drug business, he freely and volunta? rily, in the goodness of his heart, determined to devote his stock to the purposes of charity, without expecting or desiring anv remuni ration whatever, and we fully believe him. That he has since suffered losses, and finds it in? convenient to pay the taxes on the real estate owned by 'him, assessed at $16,000, is much to be regretted, but which, alasl places him m the category of too many of our fellow-citizens. The committee are informed that many persons, druggists and others, also freely contributed their goods and money to relieve the distresses of the destitute, and in this we presume that the "former prestige of Charleston" has been preserved. Many of these persons have no doubt sustained losses; but they do not seem to suppose that their voluntary charity gives them a claim upon the funds of the city, lt has been insinuated, how? ever, that if the City Council think proper to assume that they are hable for all such acts of charity, then thero ?hould he no discrimina? tion, hut that all who thus contributed should be dealt with alike. In euch case it is possible that the city might be driven to seek refuge ic the Court of Bankruptcy. As the City Council ?as no authoritv to dis? pense charity, eave through the ] >ubhc"institu tions, and as the committee aro not able to perceive that Mr. Collins has, or indeed that he claims to have, any legal claim upon the city, they ask to be discharged from the further consideration of the subject. JOHN H. HONOUR. R. M. BUTLER Adopted. Bv Alderman Honour: The Committee on Retrenchment and Relief tOjWhich was referred the petition of Mrs. Cooper, praying relief in the matter of taxes, and a letter from L. W. tjpratt, Esq., on the same subject, respectfully report : That Mrs. Cooper has ? life interest in two * bouses and lots in Anson-sireet, and two va? cant lots ia King-street, on which the city taxes for 18CG and 18C7, amountus to $527, were not paid, and the two houses and lots in Anson-sireet were sold for said taxes, under a lease for five years, and bought in by the city. The petitioner states that she is 81 years bf age, and has paid during her long life not less than $50,000 to the city government, but that now she has no other means of support than the rent of the Anson-street property; that having had to pay taxes to the United States Government, in order to obtain a release of the propprty, together with repairs and insurance, nearly the whole amount of the income was ex? hausted, thus rendering her utterly unable to pay the city taxes. That having only a life in? terest in the property, with reversion to a minor, she is without the power to sell, and in consideration of all these facts, prays for au abatement of taxes due, and a restoration of the property, or to make some small allowance out of the income for her support. Mr. Spratt proposes, onto/ friendship to Mrs. Cooper, to pay half ithej taxes, for payment of which the property was sold, on condition that it be restored. This case presents a strong appeal to the sympathy of Council, and your committee are deeply impressed with the hardship of it, in which a lady of extreme old age, who daring a long life has contnbutedso largely to the funds of the city government, should now be so much reduced in circumstances as to be unable to pay the taxes on the only property from which she can derive an income. If Council are of the opinion that they can consistently grant the application, it will afford much gratification to the committee for them to do so, but they do not feel entirelv at liberty to make the re? commendation * JOHN.

Of Mr. Courtenay it may be said with espe? cial emphasis, that he was a useful eit zen and a working man. As such he had from his youth reudered gratuitous public service. He was a leading spuit of that noble body of men, the fire department of our city. As a member of the City Council, ho was earnest in the discharge othis duties, and pre-eminent for his practical tsefulness. His honorable character, his integrity and honesty of purpose, mingling with a*firm? ness in his friendship and a genial and social temperament, made np the requisite qualities for a useful man, a judicious magistrate, and an attractive member of society. For the needy and distressed, he bore a large heart and a ready hand to comfort and assist, and it was white io such service that death be? gan his conquest and aimed the unerriug blow. Therefore, be it Resolten, That we, tho members of the City Council of Charleston, do hereby record our testimony to the public usefulness and the many private virtues and nobles traits of character of our deceased friend and associ? ate, the late Samuel Gilman Courtenay, whose memory we honor and affectionatelv"cherish, and commend it and the example of his life to the contemplation and imitation of the voung men of Charleston. Resolved, That we tender to his bereaved family our profound sympathy. Resolved, That these proceedings be entered upon the records of the City Council, and that a copy, properly engrossed, be transmitted by the Clerk to the widow anc family of the de? ceased. Adjourned. Vf. H. SMITH, Clerk of Council. THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL. The mails bring us littl i of interest in re? gard to the impeachment trial. The Presi? dent's counsel have been busily engaged in preparation of documentary proofs, and the impeachment managers are engrossed upon :heir contemplated speeches. Mr. Curtis has not written out bis speech, but makes an ex? tempore argument from iiotes of points to be presented. All of the President's counsel will deliver theif speeches in this way. None of them are to be previously written out and printed. GES. GRANT ON IMPEACHM! NT-PUBLIC OPINION ON GEN. GilANT. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette writes, under date of the 7th inetant: There is a very decidid tendency towards further complication in national affairs, and since it has been pretty definitely ascertained that "the General of the ?xmies''has ventured to advise the prompt rem oval of the President, at least one Badical Se mtor has taken the alarm and has ventured to criticise in severe terms the daring msoler ce of Grant. At first many were unwilling to believe that General Grant had ever entertained or given expres? sion to the sentiments at ributed to bim by the New York Tribune; brt others who pro? fess to know the man, pronounced the article genuine on sight. Some investigation which has since been had, leaves no doubt that Grant did say that th 3 only hope for the peace of the country is the success of the im? peachment trial, and tba; the national security demands the removal of the President. Giddy from the height to which -fortuitous circum? stances have elevated Lim, and crazed by a seeming near approach to the Presidential chair, General Grant is not only prepared to speak foolishly, but to act rashly. Without mental calibre, he is left a prey to an inordi? nate ambition with which he nos been fired by his Badical keepers, ar d there is no telling what he may say or what he may attempt. He is but the mere tool of me Jacobins, and may bc induced to attempt Vie role of Robespierre; but, as the senator alluded to said, he had better keep a look out ft ir his own head. It is understood that a cotrt of inquiry is being talked of in official qu irters. brant's com? mission is only held doling the pleasure of the President. rHTEF -.'BTICE CH ASK UNDEB ESPIONAGE. . _jv?tch from Washington, dated Tues? day, says : The telegram sent h ence to the New York Post yesterday, suggesting that Chief Justice Chose is the author of tn editorial in the Intel? ligencer lo prove tba'; neither Mr. Wade nor Mr. Colfax could succeed Mr.-Johnson in case of the latter's removal, places Judge Chase in a wrong position. He had nothing whatever to do with the production of that article. The same telegram states that the article was in the handwriting of anti was taken to the Intel? ligencer office by Mr. C iase's private secretary. Every motion made, every step taken by the Chief Justice is report) id to the impeachment junta, and, as a matter of course, some false? hoods must be stated ? bout him, for whenever the judge goes out, where he goes, what he said, and to whom bo talked, when he got there, who called to see him at his home, and what took them there, as near as it can be learned, are reported by spies that dog the heels and "shadow" of the Chief Justice, and even the members of his family are reported regularly to the Radicfd cabal, who profees to believe the judge cap able of the corruption they themselves so nattily practice for effect upon the nerves of certain so-called "Bhaky" or weak-kneed senators.

On the 1st instant, we were ree- - cued from the wreck and brought to this port by bark Esther, Captain Prince, from St Thomas. The New York Journal of Commerce, of Wednes? day, April 6th. says: The beautiful ship Panama will be launched frome tie shipyard of Messrs.

Griswold. Her dimensions are as follows: 145 feet in length. 32 feet wide, measur? ing about 675 tons Customhouse, new measurement. She win carry fully 1000 tons dead weight, and over - 1700 tons California weight and measurement goods.. She is built of the very best and choicest materials, her workmanship being in every respect first-class, special care having been taken in her fatening. She has been constructed under the immediate supervi? sion and special survey of I- renell Lloyds, ana will - rate for nine years Al, with a star. There ls a peca liar interest attaching to thia vessel from the fact af ' her being the last and only one now on the stocks at the great commercial ani shipping metropolis of the i United States. This ls a sad commentary op the de? cline of this important branch of industry, and. should awaken our great merchants and capitalists^ as well as the people of the Empire City, to try aaa adopt some measures for Its restoration toi its toast? prosperity. s CHARLESTON CITY RAILWAY COM?
