THE CHAMBEE OE COMMERCE.
Deepening of the Channel-Lou in
Weight of Cotton.Important Ques?
tions.
A meeting of the Chamber was held on Mon?
day evening, at the Hibernian Hall. After the
disposition of the unfinished business, Mr.
Howland brought, to the notice of the Chamber
the loss sustained, from some unknown causes,
in the weight of cotton shipped from this port
toother points. After some discussion, Mr.
S. L. Howard propose i the following resolu?
tion:
Resolved, That a committee of five be ap?
pointed by the pr?sidez % at his leisure, to
take into consideration the loss arising in
weights of cotton weighed in this port, and
snipped to other pointe. .
The chairman appointed the following com?
mittee : Messrs. Howard, Lawton, Howland,
Ch iso Im and Murdoch.
Mr. W. M. Lawton submitted the following
I paper, whioh was referred to the above com?
mittee :
The Charleston Chamber of Commerce, com?
posed of gentlemen not confined to a single
branch of business, ont chiefly merchants rep?
resenting various pursuits of trade, foreign
and faii??^! have ever taken a deep interest
in the prosperity and welfare- of the agricnl* J
turist especially, and as far as it has been in
their power, they have striven to advance a
calling which is the main spring and depen?
dence of other vocations.
Cotton an i nco being the staple productions
of our State, and so intimately identified with
the everyday business and means ot support
of mercantile life, that all those causes which
affect the crops and wellbeing of the planter
must necessarily involve the loss or gain of the
merchant jtherefore the proper cultivation of the
soil, means of labor and careful preparation of
those products designed for Bale and shipment
and sale in other markets are legitimate sub -
I j ec ts of suggestion and consideration from
time to time by thia association, and this body
respectful Iv tender their services to the vari?
ous agricultural, immigrant and manufactur?
ing organizations t hr ou gb out the State to aid
and further their inquiries, and to obtain all
suoh information as the varied correspondence
of our merchants can command.
The Chamber ia duly impressed with the-im
portanceof a more careful packing and baling
of cotton generally by the planters, as calcula?
ted to save lose in weight and pilfering, when
the sides of the bales are left open and lightly
packed.
It is suggested that the sea island planters
would find it to their interest to have their cot?
ton put np in square packages and closely wo?
ven bagging, the weight to be not lees than
four hundred pounds. Cotton of all kinds
should be distinctly branded and numbered.
Vice-President 8. Y. Tupper submitted a I
communication from the licensed pilots of j
Charlearon with ref ere nee to the present mode
of appointing pilots for the bar and harbor
which waa deemed objectionable and bazard?
ons to the commercial and shipping interests
of the port. After some remarks explanatory
of the above, be offered the following resolu?
tions:
Resoieed, That to a commercial community
each, se Charleston, it is vitally important that
there be an intelligent and responsible system
of pilotage. .
Besotted, That a committee of five be ap?
pointed by the president, to inquire and report
upon the system of pilotage now established
for the port of Charleston,
Th* chair appointed on the committee
Messrs. - 8. T. Tupper, A. 0. Andrews, J. T.
Welsman, W. P. Half and A. L. Tobias.
Mr. W. G. Tie?aus? ure offered the following
resolutions, prefacing them with explanatory
remarks, in reference to the condition of Besch
island Channel These resolutions were adopt?
ed:
Resolved, That the sum of fifty dollars be
appropriated, ?abe paid upon the order of the
president, for Ute parp?se of having made a
survey and soundings of the beach on Sulli?
van's Island Channel.
Resolved, That a committee of three be ap-1
pointed by the president, to whom shall be |
committed the duty of employing three or
more competent pilota to make such sound- {
ings.
Resolved, That the same committee be charg?
ed with the doty of inquiring and reporting
upon the practicability of opening said chan?
nel.
Resolved, That if the opening of such chan?
nel shall appear to be practicable, the same
committee be charged with preparing a memo?
rial to the Congress of the United States,
bringing this matter before it, and asking such
appropriation as may be necessary to aooonti
piiih the work; and Mut. tbs committee report
such memorial, and also the results of the in?
quiry to this Chamber, st a meeting to be ca 1
ed by tho president for the purpose.
. The following committee was appointed in
compliance with the above, vis : Messrs. W.
G. DeSausaure, A. O. Andrews and P. /. Por?
cher.
The following preamble and resolutions,
offered by Mr. B. Murdoch, were referred
to UM Committee on Losawjf Weight- in Cot?
ton:
Whereas, Many complaints bave been made
that the expenses attendant upon the sales of j
cotton in this market are heavy in comparison
with Ute charges on salas of cotton m New
York; and whereas, the. great indaoemente
which sellers in New Tick ire enabled, through
superior backing facilities, as well as from the
above causee, and the benefits of through rates
of freight, to hold out to planters aod mer?
chants in the interior, tn oooeigu their produce
to that market for sate; and whereas, the
through rates of freight of the past sea?
son has operated prejudicially to the in?
terests of this community, bj affording in?
ducements not only te the merchants and
planters of the interior to ship their produce
to points beyond tots city for sale, bat
also to shippers in this city io fill their orders
from abroad in the interior towns, all of these
things having the effect of reducing our trade
and prosperity, and ot converting this city
into a mere way station: and, whereas, the
time whioh often elapses between the sale and
the acceptance or rejection, of cotton, permits
a serious change to take place in the value,
owing to the frequent and rapid fluctuations
in the markets of the world since the comple?
tion of the present telegraphic system; and,
whereas, hi ease of rejection, this change io
price results disastrously to the owner of the
cotton; and, whereas, it is to the interest of all
and every class of our community that ?ur c itv
should bold the position she ia entitled to by
virtue of her local advantages, as the great
cotton port of the Atlantic, and that nothing
in oar power should be left undone to bring
about that end; therefore be it
1. Resolved, That a committee of three be
appointed by the chair to consult with the
wbarf owners and Board of Underwriters, and
to solicit their co operation in placing tbe
sedera of cotton in this city npon the Bame
tooting aa those of New York in respect to
storage and insurance; and that this commit?
tee be author izsd, on the part of this Chamber,
to confer with the presidents and boards of
direction of our various railroads, and eudeav
or to overcome the discrimination which the
through rates of the'past season made against
os.
2. That a committee of six, to be com poseo
ot brokers and factors, in equal numbers, be
appointed by the chair, to take into considera?
tion the questions as to the extreme length of
time which should be allowed to elapse be?
tween the sale and acceptance of cotton, as
well as the payment for the same.
3. That these committees be requested to
prepare their reports in time to be laid before
a special meeting of this Chamber, to be held
on Wednesday, the 80th of June, at such an
hoar as the President may deem proper.
Mr. John Hanckel, one of the delegates to
the Memphis Convention, made a verbal re?
port, whioh was received as information.
The following report was read and adopted:
The committee appointed by the Chamber
of Commerce April 10, 1869, to consider the
resolution abolishing the draft of four poonda
on rice tierces, respectfully report that they
have considered the following resolution, and
recommend its adoption by the Chamber :
Resoteed, That the draft of four pounds per
tierce, heretofore allowed by wharfingers, be
abolished, and hereafter, in ill sales of rice,
the actual weight shall be charged the par

LADIE8' MUTUAL ATD ASSOCIATION.
. Annual Meeting and Report,
The annual meeting of tbe association took
place yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, in
tbe Depository, Chalmers-street.
The rollo wing annual report was read by the
Ber. C. S. Vedder, and was adopted :
BBPOBT-JUNE 5, 1868, TO JUKE 5, 1869.
Three years have passed since first the ladies
of the Mutual Aid Association commenced their
work, and now at this, the end of the year, we
think it wo ni.i prove interesting to recall some
of the events which have transpired, and see
how our Heavenly Father has, by His provi?
dence, signally blessed oar endeavors, and aid?
ed us when most we required assistance and
encouragement.
We all know with how mach diffiulty the as?
sociation was originally founded, and with
what variable success the first and second
years of its establishment were attended; how
it struggled with all tbe difficulties consequent
anon a want of sufficient means to effect the
object for which it was intended, and how at
times the ladies would be compelled to suspend
their operations for a week or two to recover
their exhausted treasury, and to ponder WBys
and means lor its continuance. Bat through
all these they were providentially enabled to
remain firm, and our difficulties, thus far,
have tended rather to strengthen the position
we hope to maintain after a lew yeats.
We commenced in June, 1868, with a balance
in band of $88 73, a debt of $200 resting upon
os for the parchase of material to provide
work, and $30 for the insurance on the Deposi?
tory. The ladies immediately directed their
attention to the discharge or these debts, and
the providing#f fonds necessary to carry cn
the association. In the accomplishment of |
this object it gives us pleasure to add that
oar fellow-citizens were not tegardless of our
necessities, but came willingly to our aid, and
through the combined efforts of the Board of
Managers, and the generous assistance of |
Moveral musicians, amateur as well as profes?
sional, a concert was given, from which we
realized $44160.
In?Julv we received a donati in of $100 from
Mr. Wm. Aiken. In August $100 from Mr.
Thomas Moore, of Wai nfl old, New Jersey, who
on hearing of the object of the association
had become interested m its proceedings, and
wrote to the president enclosing the above,
and desiring further information in regard to
it. On receipt of thu, his interest becoming
still more enlisted, he gave within the two suc?
ceeding months $400, making a total dona?
tion of $500. These, together with several
smaller do jetions, enabled us to free
ourselves entirely' of debt, and make
some necessary repairs on the Deposi?
tory, leaving a*good balance to work apon.
Since then we have had the pleasure
of acknowledging, from time to time, the re?
ceipt of the following donations, viz: From
two "Friends" of the association, $100; from
the former "Ladies' Depository ' ot this city,
$162; this being the interest accruing from
some deposited funds of the above society,
whioh is now in an unorganized state. Within
the last two months we nave received a kind
expression of interest, united to a desire to re?
lieve the wants of oar people, in the form of a
donation of $250, from Mr. A. A. Low, of Brook?
lyn, New York. Also vari?os donations,
such a? fuel, stationery, biscuits, ice, ?Vc,
which all seemed to come jost at the
moment when most needed, and for whfoh the
donors will obtain the re waid of their gen er o
aity in the kind feelings entertained towards
them in the hearts of the grateful recipients.
In several instances, we nave received funds
with the special request that the names should
be withheld. These have been generally ap?
propriated towards the parchase of garments
for distribution among those who had former?
ly lived in comfort and luxury. Thu sadly
h tvs the reverses of the late war been felt ii
oar midst.
The new branch connected with our depoei
toiy, vis: the makipg of preserves, pickles,
syrups, jellies, wines and cordials, referred to
m our last report as only commenced by way
of trial, has, during this year, proved wonder?
fully successful, and has been the means not
only of wTtmidingy the utility of the association,
but attracted the attention of those abroad as
well as at home, the interest manifested in our
cause being ' thereby greatly advanced. The
luxurious growth of toe fruit crop last year
enabled the ladies, about thirty in number,
who furnish the depository, to make large
quantities of preserves, which have amounted
in Tame to more than $1000, and much more
good might have been effected in this line
bad there been any certainty on the minds of
the ladies that ready sale oould have been
found for their work. Most of the orders for
preserves have been received from the North,
our own population being too impoverished to
assist us mach in this way, and a great part of
oar saocess ia these sales, it is bat jost to add,
bas been owing to the great efforts pot forth in
oar behalf by several kind friends of the asso?
ciation residing at the North, who have exert?
ed themselves to make known our institution,
interested others in it, and obtain orders for
ns. To the "Female Employment Society.' of
Brooklyn, N. Y., we are much indebted for the
recent disposal of preserves to a large amount;
also to the "Ladies' Depository," of Baltimore.
This branch is subject to the same roles
and regulations as the needle-work-the per?
centage charged doing little more than de?
fraying the necessary expenses of packing,
shipping, drayage, Ac.
Through means of oar organisation, the la
dies sss&pw preserves are enabled to obtain
their material at the lowest possible rates, as
the association purchases by wholesale for
them. Ia this way we haye assisted a much
larger number than we could otherwis j have
done. In stating the above, we would ackno v
ledge the kindness shown the association by
Messrs. F. & J. Bodine, of Philadelphia, in
selling their jars at reduced rates, and for libe?
ral donations. Also, the Messrs. Paul, of this
city, for their redaction of sugar in oar favor,
and for their liberality in gratuitously packing
oar boxes daring the last season. We have
been great y encouraged to proceed in this
part of our work by the constant large orders
received, and the satisfactory reports of the
purchasers, as sell as by the benefit which
seems to have been produced to those engaged
in it.
Ia regard to the needle work, it is only ne?
cessary to add that this, too, has been quite
prosperous. The number of garments made
np during the year has amounted to 1500
pieces. This includes 515 pieces of ordered
work, when the material was furnished alto?
gether by the employer, for whioh we reoeived
pay, and 985 pieces ot store work, by which we
mean that prepared simply for tin purpose of
supplying won, or in accordance with a direct
order where we furnished all the material. For
the cutting oat of this work we have paid over j
$183. Large quantities of needle work as well
as of the preserves have been sent North in
accordance with orders received, and the ex?
pressions in regard to it have been most satis?
factory to os, and have very frequently been
the means of procuring farther orders.
From the $50 entrusted to us last year by
the ' Ladies' Depository," of Baltimore, princi
?ly in goods, we have realized an increase of I
50. This, we admit, is quite small, and)
might have been made more remunerative, ex?
cept for oar complicated accounts, whioh pre?
vented us from paying special attention to
this amount. Daring the ooming year, how?
ever, we hope to render the statement more
gratifying to tba ladies of .Baltimore.
The salesroom bas brought us a return this
year ol $1393 19, or an average per month of
$116. This defrays our weekly expenses but
does not enable us to give out as much work
as the demand requires; and wc would some?
times have fallen very tar short had not our
wants boen supplied by orders from without,
which havo been greatly increased this
year. Wo take this opportunity of thank?
ing our customers fer their patronage,
and would earnestly solicit its continuance in
tho future. The association is so well known
now, that it is the general resort for those who
desire to obtain work, and we have endeavored
to regulate our prices SB much as possible in
accordance with tho requirements of both the
employer and employee.
There is one other point upon which we have
not yet touched, and which has caused os
some regret-we refer to the subscriptions.
Advancing in every other respect, our subscrip?
tions have diminished each year, and now only
amount to $272 C7. The annual subscription is
but one dollar, which we frequently find diffi?
cult to obtain. So many are dependent upon
this association for partial, if not entire sup?
port, that we wonld earnestly set forward the
necessity for a greater extension of this means
of supply in the coming year. And we would
especially desire to bring to the notice of the
public that none are authorized to collect for
the Mutual Aid Association except those who
have their tegular subscription books, with
the signatures of the officers attached. We
have recently learned that a considerable
amount of^ collections were made within the
past year in the name of the association, by
fraudulent characters, and would embrace thia
opportunity of placing persons on their guard
in relation to this matter.
We sabjoin for the consideration of the mem?
bers of the association, and all those interest?
ed in its success, the following condensed
account of its rece ip s and expenditures, dur?
ing the past year :
The amount of money received into the
treasury from Jane 1868, to Jane 1869, is as

V. 8. bmOJJIT COVHT-CHIBT JUSTICE I
S. P. CHASE, PRESIDING.
The court opened at ten o'clock yesterday
morning, Ohief Justice Chase and Judge Bryan
on the bench.
The jurors answered to their names.
The Jury in the case of Robert L. Livingston
et al, vs. Y. S. Jordan, reported yesterday, re?
turned a verdict that the premises described in
the pleadings were the property of the plain?
tiff, and assessed damages at one oent.
J. M. Alston vs. John L. Manning. Debt on
bond. Demurrer and special pleas. W. A.
Pringle, Ed. MoCrady, Esqs., and Hon. Wm.
Hull, of Augusta, for plaintiff; Porter & Con?
ner and J. 8. G. Rich arda on, Esqs., for de?
fendant.
Mr. Porter, under instructions, moved for a
c m tin nance of the case on the ground that the
juries are not organized as the law directs.
. It was ordered that the jurors should be
drawn under the last act of the Legislature,
one section of the act having provided that
it should take effect from its passage. The
judges of the State Court had declined to exer?
cise jurisdiction until the jurors are drawn in
conformity to the act, and the question arose
whether under the law the party litigant in the
United States Court has not the right to ask
a continuance of his cause until the jury is
drawn in conformity with the existing State
law. If they thought proper to accept the
jury as organized, there could be no Objection.
Bnt it was a question whether it is not the
spirit and intent of this law that the practice
of the Courts of the United States shall con?
form itself lo the practice of the State Courts.
Mr. Hull said that every aot of legislation is
prospective and not retrospective, unlesa ex?
pressly provided in the enactment itself. A
change that is made in the law after the Juror as |
are drawn, the venire issued, the jurors sum?
moned, and the venire returned, wilf surely
not be bold to invalidate that proceeding, and
thereby render it impracticable to hold a term
of the court.
Che Chief Justice gave a verbal opinion?
refusing to grant the motion for continuance.
The argument on the demurrer and special
pies? we? thou heard, and the decision of the
court reserved. ^
