Ob, <?"p not that receipt away,
Given by one who trusted thee;
Mistakes win happen every day,
However honest folks may bo.
And sad it is, love, twice to pay;
So cast not tbat receipt away.

When we this bill have all forgot.
They tend it in again-ye powers ?
And swetr that we have paid it riot
How sweet to know on such a day
We've never cast receipts away.

S CHARLESTON, October 6,1868. o
To the Honorable the Mayor and Aldermen: C
The committee to whom the bill of G. W.
Egan for extra work on engine houses was re- n
ferred for investigation, beg leave to report e
that they have examined tho case, and, from t
the evidences presented to them, find that tho ti
contractor had to dig deeper than expected to K
find a solid foundation for the extended parts N
of the building, and that ho had instructions F
from the City Engineer so to do, with assur- ?
anees from him that the bill for what they "
style extra work should be paid when present- R
ed to Council. It seems, from section six of d
the ordinance creating the office of City Engi- K
neer, tbat he had authority to order said work, A'
The question, however, arises if it can be con- q
sidered extra work or not. It is the opinion of
the committee that when the bids were made P
for the extension of the buildings the contrac- o
tor ought and must have known that there bad &
nevar been any foundations laid, and must
naturally have included tho cost for the same
in his estimate. It was a portion of the work
* which had to be made under the contract, and,
therefore, cannot be considered as extra work.
Your committee will here take occasion to
bring to the notice of Council an evil that al?
ways exists with regard to work done under
conViact8-competition is great, andcontrac
4 .tors generally undeibid each other, hoping to
make up their profits by charges for extra
work. This evil should be remedied. In the
present case the original contracts for the two
engine, houses were made at $9030. Their
actual cost is $11,714, excluding the bill in
question, which is $582 2c. If this bill is ordered
to be paid, the cost of the buildings will be
nearly forty per cent, more than the original
contracts.
Respectfully submitted.

By Alderman Voigt:
The Committe on Brick and Wooden Build?
ings, to whom was referred the application of j
Mr. James Michel to erect a wooden building
on lot ea&t side of Savage-street, beg leave to
report that they have examined the same, and
recommend that it be granted, provided that
it be erected according to specified application,
and to remain standing during the pleasure of j
Council.

Alderman McKinlay, from the Committee on
Steam Engines, made a verbal report on the
application of G. F. Habenicht. for permission E
to put up a steam engine on Bird's shipyard, 1
South Bay; also counter petition o? sundry t
citizens living in the vicinity, protesting
- against the same. He stated that the requi?
site plans for erecting the steam enrine were
not submitted as squired by the ordinance,
and in the aosence of the same was not pre?
pared to report to-night, but would ask for
further time to do so, which was granted.

THE OLD BANKS IN SAVANNAH.-In February
last, judgments were obtained in the Circuit
Court of tho United States, sitting in (his city,
against the Merchants and Planters' Bank,
amounting in the aggregate to three hundred
ind twenty-one thousand six hundred and
3igb.ty-D.ine dollars ($321,689), with ten per
lent, damages.
Judgments wero also obtained at the same
term of the court against tho Bank of Com?
merce for seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,
)00). with ten per cent, damages, and against
:ho Fanners' Bank for sixty-seven thousand
six hundred and twenty dollars ($67,620), with
;on per cent, damages.
All these judgments bear interest from last
february, amounting in the aggregate, induci?
ng the ten per cent, damages, to five hundred
tnd ten thousand seven and thirty-nine dol?
are ($510,739).
The judgments in these cases were obtained
ipon the notes issued by the banks for circula
ion, a large proportion of which ere said to
lave been purchased by the plaintiffs at a very
?eavy discount.
We learn that suits aro now being instituted
.gainst a large number of the stockholders of
hese institutions, with a view to make them
?able in their individual capacity for the amount
>f the judgments, ia proportion to tho amount
ifstock owned by them. 1
We have also been informed that in many 1
ases the stockholders have nof paid up the 1
all amount of stock subscribed by them, and
hat bills in equity are being fited for the pur*
?ose of compelling them to pay up the fall
.mount Ol' stock subscribed.
These cases will be at issue at the November
erm of the United States Circuit Court, and
nil be tried unless good cause for a com mu?
nee can be shown.-Savannah Republican.
SAMPLES OF FOBEION COTTON.-Messrs. Jones 11

o^ton, grown in different portions oE the world,

rora on exhibition on Saturday, and excited a
reat deal of attention fi om om- merchants and
lanufacturers. Some of these samples corn
are very favorably with our American produc?
ion, especially the Egyptian and Peruvian
otton, which, if not already BO, will
ecome formidable competitors with our
