C.VOIGT. The Committee of Ways and Means, to whom was referred the petition for the renewal of Bond No. 90, io-$500, with coupons attached since 1863, report: _ That they have examined the papers present? ed, and do not find sufficient proofs upon which io recommend a renewal of said bond, as pray? ed ipr in tho petition. in the first place there is. no specific or satis? factory proof of the character of the bond alleged to have been lost or destroyed, of the issue to which it belongs, and of the year in which it most have been payable. Of course nb renewal or duplicate can be issued without clear proof of the contents of the original. ' Again, the proof is inconclusive or insufficient as tb the presence Of the Bond No. 90 in the box at the supposed time of its destruction. The committee do not say that such proof cann ot : be furnished ; nardo they desire to prejudice 1 anvfuture application upon new proofs. They 1 only mean to say, thai the ?vidence at present .1 is defective, In relation to registered stock j. there i? hot occasion for so much precaution. IJ But as the coupon bouda are transferable by 11 delivery, it is very necesaary to be careful, as I the bonds may still bein the hands of persons Who have possessed themselves or them. I ' Th? committee think that In all cases of ap? plication for renewal of " bonds, the parties 11 should be required to take their proofs in the , manner prescribed by- the acta of the Legisla- , tore for the perpetuation of testimony in rela- i, tion to deeds, wdls ana-other papers lost or de- I stroyed during the war. When the proofs are I . BTdnnitted in ; this; form, .the City Council can fcetter judge of the propriety of issuing renew- I Jsor duplicates of bonds alleged to have been 11 - ?Utor destroyed. *t J.

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Pterktton: Your committee, to whom was referred the communication of the Hope Fire Company, asking that their building be repaired, re? spectfully report that the house is in need of repairs as represented by them. The probable I cost will be three hundred and twenty-five do!- j lars, and we respectfully recommend that the application be granted and work carried out as provided by the ordinance. (Bigned) L. T. POTTER, Chairman Committee on Public Buildings. CHARLESTON, S. C., August 25,1868. To thc Mayor and Aldermen of the City of i Charleston: - I * The Committee on Tidal Drains beg leave to make-the following report: The drains have been attended to satisfactorily by the keeper, who. reports' having "flashed" daily, with the following results : Spring and Calhoun-street drains -.-oin be kept clean, but Meeting and Coming cannot by flashing. We think the dis? tance too great, and in the absence of a suffi? cient head of water it is impossible L? wash out the continual accumulation of sand. With a view to obviate this difficulty, your commit? tee respectfully reccommend the building of a canal from Payne's Creek to Ashley River, and the extension of the drains to it. By building locks to it, a sufficient quantity of water can be obtained to wash the entire system of drains at low water. The excavations to form this canal can be used to advantage in grading streets and filling low lots, the health of the neighborhood and value of property greatly improved. The drains, have been kept full every night. From diagrams submitted by the keeper, your committee find differences of levels in the bottom of twenty inches ; this undulation accounts for the constant accumu? lation of aand. Your committee have had four sandpits con? structed cor uer of Morris and Coming streets, at a ooet of two hundred and thirteen dollars. This amount has been economized in employ? ing men from the House ot Correction to do the labor, from the lat to the 15th August. By the construe tion of such pits your commit? tee feel satisfied that from five to six thousand dollars will be saved the city yearly, and they therefore recommend the use of them where needed. Since the building of these pits, there has not been any perceptible accumula tion of 8and in the drains at the above place, Although there have been several heavy rains. * (?guec!) L. T. POTTER, . Chairman Tidal Drain Committee. : Accepted and laid over, there not being a money quorum. SAlderman Olney: e Committee on Accounts beg leave to re Srt favorably on the bill of John E.

Devereux to purchase water lot on west Bide of Lynch street, on the ground thal* tall improvements thereon made will increase the value of proper? ty in the vicinity, and further beg leave to state j that in the belief of the committee the pi improved will add more to the revenue city in the way of taxes alone than it no by lease. - And whereas it will probabl the applicant from $1500 to $2000 to fill lot mentioned; we recommend that it 1 to Mr. John H.

The Mayor brought to the attention of Coun? cil the present high price charged the city by the Gas Company for lighting the street lamus.

At present five hundred and five lamps are ht at a cost of nearly two thousand dollars per month, or at the rate of forty-sis dollars per lamp per annum. He suggested to the Committee on Lighting the City the propriety of considering the mat? ter, and in the event of the company's refus? ing to reduce the price, then some steps should be taken towards remedying the eviL He was prepared to show by figures that the introduc? tion of a new scheme for lighting the city would result in a saving of some ten or twelve thousand dollars per annum, and m considera? tion of the same he also suggested immediate attention.

One Bottle of Resolvent Is Better Than Ten Large Bottle? of tue Advertised Sarsaparillas, or Direct Diuretic Rem? edies.' PHTSICTANS wonder at the extraordinary power ot BAD WA Y'6 RENOVATING RESOLVENT in curing: the worst lonna of Scrofulous, Byphiloid, Chronio ' Skin Diseases, and tts marvelous cower in resolving calculons concretions, affording i ?med?ate relief ana consequent cure of Diseases of the Kidney, Bladder, Liver, Lungs, Pancreas, Spleen, Its rapid influence in the cure of Diabetes, Incontinence or scanty, tur? bid, albuminous, cloudy urine; ita almost instant ef? ficacy In stopping itching and painful discharge of orine, and its singular power in curing discharges from the Uterus and Urethra, Lrucorrhcea, Bloody Urine, and other unhealthy and weakening dis? charges;-and inquire wherein the S ABS AP AB IL LIAN used in the Renovating Resolvent differs from, ordinary Sarsaparillas I Saraiparillian is the only principle in Sarsaparilla that possesses curative properties; all other parts of the root are Inert and useless. One ounce of the extract obtained under Dr. Bad wa y's new process for extracting the curativo properties from vegetable substances, contains moro of the true principle of cure than twenty pounds of the ordinary roots. SARSAPARILLItN ii only one of the ingredients that forma thia truly wonderful medicine; audit is the only compensating remedy that communicates its purifying, cleansing and reinvigorating proper? ties through the BLOOD, SWEAT, URINE and other secretions, securing, a harmonious functional action of every depraved organ and gland in the sys? tem. If the blood ls corrupt, the Resolvent will make it pure. If the Lungs are ulcerated and Bore, secreting thick phlegm and prurelent matter, the Resolvent will loosen thia deposit and repair the wasting lung with sound and healthy material. It the Skin la covered with pimples, apota, postul?e, sores, ulcers, ste., the Resolvent will quickly remova these annoyances. If mercury is deposited in the bones and haa accumulated in the system, the Re? solvent will drive lt out If the Throat or Bronchial Glands are ulcerated, the Resolvent will cure these signs of an early waste. Direct remedies, possess? ing only exclusive properties, are hurtful, aa they increase the functional secretions of ons organ by suspending the constituent secretions of others;, hence, a compensating remedy like the Resolvent ia the only means of a permanent cure. BEAR IN MIND THAT EVEBY DROP OF BLOOD Impregnated with the Resolvent and absorbed to?* supply the waste of the body, will make pure, sound and healthy flesh and fibre. The first dose that 1? taken commences ita work of purification and In? creasing the appetite and flesh. A REMARKABLE CUBE! SORES ON TBE TONQUE, ULCERS IN THE TBROAT, SORE OUilS.

TION! PAIN CURED IN AN INSTANT! In 1847 the great grand principle of stopping tie most excruciating pain in an instant, without em? ploying such dangerous agents as Chloroform,?* Opium, Morphine, Acontine, Ether, ic, was first made known in BADWAY'S BEADY BELIEF. - This remedy accomplished thia wonderful and de? lightful desideratum tn all cases of external and in? ternal pain. In an instant it afforded relief, the - moment it was applied to the parts ol the body where inflammation or pain existed-it at once re? lieved thc patient of the most violent and excruciat? ing pangs and throbs of pain, and imparted the de? lightful sensation of ease and comfort. Every kind of pain, whether Rheumatism, Neu? ralgia, Toothache, Pal s In the Chest, Side, Lunge, ? Stomach. Bowels, Kidneys, Spine, Legs, Arms, Feet, one application was sufficient to kill and extern ina ?e the pain. Taken Internally, twenty drops to a teaspoonful would cure, and wiU cure, Asiatic Cholera, Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever. Bilious colic, Inflam? mation of the Bowels, Cramps, Spasms, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, and every pain that may exist in the in? side ot man, woman or child; this was BADWAY'S BEADY BELIEF of 1847, and it is BADWAY'S RE? LIEF, greatly improved, m 1868. We then started lt in its mission of relieving the - infirm, pain-stricken, sick, distressed and crippled ot all nations throughout the world, and now today lt ia used, patronized and revered as a household necessity, in the palaces of Sultans, Emperors, . Kaimos, Kings, High Priests, Nobles, as well as in the cottages of tbe laboring Chuses of every nation - on the face cf the earth. CONGESTION OF THE LUNGS CUBED fK' THIRTY MINUTES I Important to Know now to Use "Rad~ way'i Ready Relief" in Acute ?nd Dangerous Attacks ! MT OWN CASE. On Saturday night, the 19th, I was violently selzedT with Congestion of the Lungs. For a few days pre- . vious I felt a dull pain over my left lung, with, occasional coughs, but being actively engaged, paid no attention to it When seized, the pam was so piercing, cutting and excruciating, that every breath dnr.cu was like a red hot knife cutting my lung. Be? rn" absent from home, I sent out for three bottles of BADWAY'S RELIEF, applied the entire lot to my lungs, back, shoulders, kc, and in a few moments got up counter-irritation. Respirations were eesy, and, as the skin beean?o reddened, all pain ceased. In half an hour I was free from pain, and all signo ol' Congestion, Di?Ammation, kc, gone. This ls an important cure. It ia well that every one should know how to use this remedy in severe attacks. The same rule holds good in cases of Inflammation of the Loins, Bowels, Kidaeys and Stomach. Apply the RELIEF freely; soak the skia with it It wUl instantly secure the withdrawal of the inflammation to the surface, and lemons now suffering may, in - TPTRTT MINUTES, be free from pain. CHRONIC INFLAMMATION. In cases where inflammation has existed for a length of time, in addi don to the RELIEF, take six; of BADWAY'S PILLS. Powder them. Ia half an hour, lu most cases, they will operate. If not, re? peat the dose. Lu one or two hours at the furthest they will operate, and the patient soon get wett. In Bilious, Typhoid, Fever and Ague, this treatment is sure to cure. Let it be tried. JOHN BADWAY, M. D. jag- Dr. RAD WAY'S BE M EDIES are sold by Drug gists and Storekeepers everywhere.
