THE DAILY NEWS.
To Put Him Ont or Kot.
[An entirely original soliloquy, respectfully
dedicated to the eight Republican United
States Senators who have one parti?le of con?
science left.]
To put him ont or not; that is the question :
Wbeiher it is better for ns all to suffer
Th.- whims and temper of that stubborn Andy,
Or to taie anni against thia endless worries,
And by Impeachment end them? A vote-an "aye"
No more; and by that word to say we end
Els vetoes and the thousand nameless things
He plague? na with,-tia a consummation
Devoutly to bo wishad. But then the step
Itself la revolution I-aye, there's the rub;
For, to what dread reaction we may cou o
When wa hat? shuffled off our hands this man,
Must give us pause, There is the thought
That puta us ah in such a quandary;
For wu o could bear the Tribune's whips and scorns,
Thad. Stevens' lash, the jeers of all the Bump,
The pangs of farewell to the public crib,
The insolenco of Butler, and the spurns
an honest senator must find at home,
When he himself might set all right at once
With a bare "ayer" Who would a moment pause
To bring in Johnson guilty-right or wrong
But that the dread of something after that:
An outraged nation crying ont For vengeance
On ita destroyers-puzzles the wfll,
And makes na rather bear the illa we have
Than fly.to others that we know not or?
Thus, conscience does make cowards of us all;
Ami thus the-native hue of resolution
ls sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought;
And many who would strike our country down.
Filled with these thoughts their cowar! arms with?
hold.
Scared at the word-"Beactlon !"

RESOLUTIONS.
Alderman Whilden offered the foliov .ag re?
solution, which was laid over under the 18th
Bule :
Whereas it is tbe unanimous judgment of the
Board of Commissioners of the Charleston Orphan
r>ouse) that the reduction in the annual appropria?
tion for the school connected with that institution,
from two thousand five hundred dollars to two
thousand dellars, places at their disposal a sum en?
tirely inadequate rur the compensation of ten teach?
ers, who are faithfully and zealous.y laboring in the
discharge of their arduous and responsible duties,
and, ir adhered to, must prove detrimental to that
important branch of the charity. Therefore,
Resolved, That the annual approptiation for the
school of the Charleston Orphan Hou-e shall be two
thousand five hundred dollars. This resolution to
take effect on the 20th instant

THE STATE or SOUTH CAROLINA:

showeth: That by au act of the General Assembly of
South Carolina, approved on the 20th day ot Decem?

City Railway Company of south Carolina." for the
purposes therein specified, aa by reference to a certi

tioners further show that they are now ready o or?

ceedings as may br neceass y to carry out the pur?
poses and objects of the coartar, v our petitioners

charter it is necessary that oefore th ey pro .-ced io
lay any railway tracks for the purpose of running
cars tt.creon, in any street or streets in tho city, they
should fully and formally submit their plan or plans,
designating tile street or streets on which they pur?
pose to construct a railway, to the municipal au?
thorities or said city for their approval. In accord-'
ance with this requirement, your petitioners now
annou' ce to your honorable body that they aro pre?
pared to wommence the construction of a double
tiack railway in the said City of Charleston, from a
point o East Bay-street at the corner of Southern

Ferguson.
Alderman Honour moved that the considera?
tion of the same be postponed to the next
meeting. Carried.
Alderman Willis presented the following pe?
tition, M bich took the same coarse as the one
just read:
THE Crrr OF CHARLESTON:
To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen in Common
Council attcmbUtt:
The memorial of the undersigned citizens, resid?
ing in the various wards of Charleston, humbly and
respectfully sh o wc th. (hat they constitute a portion
of a large class 0/ the population of Charleston, and
have in the patt and do now contribute materially to
the support of the city government by the payment
of large amounts of taxes and other levies, made un?
der the ordinances of Coon CiL 'I hey have been ap?
prized through the public press that certain indivi?
duals have applied to, or they propose to ask of your
honorable body the corporate assent to the construc?
tion and establishment of a freight railway, to be run
upon a line parallel with and to the east of East Bay,
and connecting the railroad depots wi tn the different
wharves of the city. The act ot the Legislature creat?
ing the company provided that tne consent of the
city government- should bc first had and obtained
before the act of Incorporation could be carried out;
and some time ago, briefly after the enactment of the
statute, a similar proposition lo the one now intend?
ed was made to your honorable body, and was re?
jected. The act of incorporation was procured in the
interest of a small portion of our citizens, acd at the
expense and detriment of considerably the larger
portion of the community. The reasons that influ?
ence and determine your memorialist? in their pre?
sent course are as mucn of a public asa private char?
acter. There are io number five hundred and sev?
enty-five (575) licensed carts, wagons and drays,
which yield to the city an annual revenue of eleven
thousand five hundred ($11,500) dollars-. There are
live hundred and seventy-five (575) persons employ?
ed in the running and working of these carts and
drays, who are, in ninety-nine cases out of a hun?
dred, dependent upon tuts employment for their o al?
ly subsistence. The large majority of this number
have families leaolDg upon them for supp' rt. And
a considerable portion ot thia class of our citizens are
property holders. If your consent is yielded to this
enterprise it will not alone affect the prosperity of
those citizens engaged in this particular line of busi?
ness, 'out will necessarily undermine the growth of |
our city, diminish its population, retard emigration
by closing the avenues to employment in these pur
tuils, and damaging the local trade of the inhabi?
tants, by lessening the custom of the butcher, the
baker, the artisan and craftsman of every descrip?
tion-extending ita pernicious consequences
throughoutallthoramificaHons ot our internal trade.
If five .hundred men or half that number are de?
prived of the employment by which their daily
bread is earned, ttiey will be forced to' emigrate, or
if they remain, to be a burden upon the rest of the
community. If you subtract this amount of em?
ployment from the general supply, it ls tantamount to
subtracting so much labor, and to the same extent
In a like proportion subtracting from the'earnings
of the thousands following the different avocations
hereinafter enumerated. The policy and advantage of |
any auch public enterprise is, to say the least, ex?
tremely questionable, and independent o? the con?
siderations suggested, tbat it may affect the well?
being of a large number of our lellow-cittzenB, it
may entail, if undertaken at the expense of Council,
an expenditure that would never be fruitful to the
treasury.
Tour memorialists humbly suggest to your honor?
able body that in the present state of the commerce
and business of Charleston no outlay of this kind
would be productive, and under existing circum?
stances would be highly inexpedient, hor are your
memorialists aware that the desire to bave tais rail
way constructed is shared to any extent by the citi
ze. s at large; on the contrary, they firmly believe
that if the voice and opinion of the public could be
manifested upon its adoption, it would be found to
have few sympathizers; "while a large majority would
be found arrayed against lt. It will eu . ely inflict se?
rious loss upon you memorialists and others, and they
humbly pray your honorable body to take their
memorial into consideration, with thc reasons they
have herein reepectiully'urged, why you should re
tuse the desired permission to construct and put in
operation the contemplated railwy; and earnestly
requesting your favorable consideration, they will,
oe in dutv bound, ever pray, kc

Liverpool Cotton Market.
LIVERPOOL, May 7-11.15 A. M-COTTON.-The
marke; opens very dull and Heavy. Owing partly
to heavy receipts, and partly to a continued unfa?
vorable trade report. The sales of the day will be
very light, probably not exceeding 5'JOO bales. The
following are the opening quotations: Mi do ling up?
lands, 12%d; midd Ung Orleans 12%d. xhe general
dullness checks business in cotton to arrive
LIVERPOOL, May 7-5 P. M.-COTTON- -The
market closes heavy, and with a decline of %d per
pound on American descriptions. There bas been no
animation during the day, and the sales have not
exceeded tbe estimate made at the opening, viz:
5000 bales. Late in the afternoon there was some
business done in cotton, the last sales being at 12%d
for middling upland-. The following ore the clos?
ing quotations for American descriptions oo tho
soot: Middling uplands 12%d., Middling Orleans,
12%d
Savannah Weekly Market.
SAVANNAH, May 7.-COTTON-Our market bas
shown the most unexampled week of quietude since
our last that all have experienced since the war, and
the fact is holders will not yield, buyers will not ope?
rate at their figures, and the whole market amounts
to a dead lock.
Late declining dispatches from New Tork and Liv?
erpool have rather staggered tho sanguine holders,
but without any feeling of distrust in the turare be?
ing evinced, as most partios holding are not disposed
to sell, and in fact the bulk of the entire cotton for
sale here is controlled by men wbo con do so, and
who do not expect prices to recede materially, and
ultimately, on actual scarcity, to go np very high.
Caution is wantoil taddy at such prices, but every?
thing assumes on the question of supply and de?
mand a very healthy hue, for cotton mora particu?
larly on thia sido of the water, as when tho foreign
load'np fleet is cleared, we shall t xhibit a terrible de?
fiere tor home consumption,which cannot be replaced
except by import, and when all begin that style of
business, we shall have the nucleus of a serious fi?
nancial panic
The stocks in the injerior are very limited, the to?
tal amount at the most prominent places being about
21,000 bales, and our advices from them point to
but small receipts tor the rest of the season. Augus?
ta will probably receive about 3000 bales more, the
whole of which will be required to keep the mills in
that section in operation, and th? supply from other
part* of the State ls almost entirely exhausted. Ac?
counts from Louisiana point to a more lavorable re?
sult of present planting than lae1-, year. Here we are
scarcely disposed to contend for as good a yield on
account or heavy freshets, requiring replanting al?
ways precarious. We hope for toe best, and quote
as the ruling figure of the week at 30c for good ordi?
nary, with in some cases, eales at lower figures.
Middling is held firmly at 32c, and low middling at
31c.
SEA ISLANDS.-Renewing our quotations of last
week, wo would add tbat they are nominal, receipt*

island and 2,936 bales unpland. against 82 bales sea

Macon Weekly Cotton Market.
MACON, May 8.-GENERAL HEM ARKS-From ac?
counts received from middle and Southwestern Geor?
gia, we learu that our planters are still busily engag?
ed in repairing damages Irom the late floods, aral
making preparations to r. plant corn. Very fortu?
nately out few had put in their cotton seed, and
luckily have lost nothing but their fertilizers. Un?
dismayed, all have set manfully to work, determined
to make good etops, if this can be accomplished by
perseverance and industry. With propitious seasons,
we predict a good average crop, and prosperous and
active times next fall.
We have but little improvement to note in trade
this week from that of last. P.anters have nearly all
laid in supplies to last them tor a abort lime, while
country merchants have bousht sparingly, and mos'
Iv tor cash. In the leading articles, aa will be seen
from the figures quoted be.ow, there has been but
little change.
COTTON-Our market has undergone but little
chance* duce our last review, though it has followed
thc fluctuations of the Liverpool and new ?ork mar?
keta. The highest figure leached at any time du
rina the week was 30% cents for Midalings, but
tbat advance waa only temporary, and it soon re?
lapsed back to 29% cents.* The stock on hand is
being surely and rapidly decreased, the receipts
being so light
There USB but little done in our market to-day.

COTTON.-The market for cotton has been quite
fluctuating the past week, and prices have eased
about y, c per pound from the current rates noticed
at the cose of last week. Manufacturers have pur?
chased very i poringly during tho week, with very
little speculative inquiry. The sales have neen
about 6000 bales, and we quote ordinary at 28a2Pc;
good ordinary at 29a30c; low middling at a0a3. c;
and middling at 32a33c. per pound. The princial
holders are still confidant of another reaction and
higher prices than c >n now be obtained.
DOMESTICS-Cotton goods have been rather dull
during the week, and thp excitement m relay ion to
cotton for some weeks hai not as yet led to ..ny in?
creased business. Printe, delaines and ginghams
have been an fair demand, but brown and bleached
cottons, drills, de ti ns and ?cks have been taken
only m small lots. Woollens are dull and remain
witbout improvement. Manufacturers feel some?
what discouraged at the backwardness ot tradr, and
do not look for any material improvement. In cloth?
