Brown, Tliorne, How aril, E. P. WaU, L. F. Wall, McKinlay. Thc minutes of thc last meeting wera read and confirmed. Aldjrman Geddings presented a petition from the residents on Rutledge street, between Beau fain and Broad, and others in the neighborhood, relative to the pond at the West End, and asking for the impro-^ment of that property. Alderman Barrow became virtuously Incensed because the petition was not read by the clerk, and ventilated himself on Hi at point, but was ruled out of order, and the petition was, on motion, referred to the Committee on Streets. Alderman McKinlay presented the petition o. Thomas P. Clyde and Isaac P. Wilson Tor the re? newal of city stock, which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. The petition of Mrs. E. L. Finette and others for the abatement of taxation was referred to -"ie Committee on Assessment. A communication from the commissioners of the markets recommending that the cook shops at the lower end of the market be removed, and thc original plans concerning drainage and other improvements be carried out. Alderman Wall objected to the proposed destruction of the cook shops, as they were not unsightly, and were a source of revenue to the city. Aldermen Barrow and Voigt sustained the commissioners, and stated that in accordance with a stipulation be? tween the United States "o-jrnment and the city no improvements would be made on the Customhouse until the buildings in question were removed. The drains were sadly out of order and could not bc Improved unless continued In a straight line to the river, which would necessitate the removal of the cook shop3. On motion of Al? derman Greene, the matter was referred to a Joint Committee on Streets and Public Buildings. Alderman Voigt read a petition from the Work ingmen's Union, asking the use of the building known a3 the Old Picket Guardhouse, free of rent, for the purpose of a school and reading-room. Some discussion ensued, and the petition was re? ferred te the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. The petition of Nicholas Sopsi, for permission to repair his house In Anson Btreet, was referred to thc Committee on Brick and Wooden Buildings. The petition of Messrs. Steffens, Werner A Ducker, for transfer of license, was referred to the City Appraiser for action. The petition of S. J. L. Mathewes Tor leave to re? pair house in Tradd street was referred to tho Committee on Brick and Wooden Buildings. The petition of Paul Jones, to be refunded a tax paid fur a farm cart, brought ont Alderman Bar? row, who declaimed wildly on the right of the city to tax everything on wheels without excep? tion. On motion, the petition was referred to the Committee on Retrenchment and Relief. The petition of M. McBride asking for relief ; from the taxation on thc house of Mr. White, In , Charlotte street, while In possession or the mili? tary, was rererred to the Committee on Retrench- i ment and Relier. ! The quarterly returu of tlie chief of police, ag? gregating $6SS. wa3 received as lnfermation. A communicatiou from the city registrar, In reference to lots In various parts of the city un? der water, asking that they be filled and drained within twenty days, and also in reference to sun- ' dry drains that were choked up, was on motioa adopted. i Alderman Geddings, from the Committee on ! Accounts, presented sundry bills, aggregating ? $4000, which were ordered to be paid. A bill or Dr. Mitchell's for $2000 against the city, was the Innocent cause of an earnest and continued debate on the necessity of codifying the city ordinances, and the amount that would bethought a sufflcisur Inducement for the chief codifier. Corbin, to undertake tho >>. debate lasted about one and a half boura, and was ? USS- I less waste of municipal breath. j The report of the city treasurer was ordered to he published. The Committee on Brick and Wooden Buildings reported favorably on the petition or Mr. Deve? reux. Alderman Potter reported that the Enterprise I Railroad asked rurther time, as no work could be J done until East Bay was widened. Granted. ? The ordinance to aid In rebuilding the burnt i district and waste places In the City of Charles- ] ton was ratified in due form. 1 Alderman E. P. Wall presented a bill to restore l Balarles to certain onlcers therein named, which 1 received Its first reading by its title. On motion ] lt received its second reading to the effect that ( the salary of the Mayor be fixed at $4000, payable 1 monthly, for the year commencing on January 1, t and all ordinances repuguant thereto be re- i pealed. . A . I This took the aldermen somewhat by surprise, ( and Alderman Barrow asked that the bill be laid 1 on the table for Ave minutes. Hts proposition : caused a storm of opposition, but the speaker suc? ceeded ia relieving hts mind or the conviction that the Mayor had acted lu an indelicate and un- ] usual manner fer a presiding officer. The Mayor l stated that he was entirely Ignorant of the bill or i Its intentions, and was taken completely by sur- | prise. Alderman Wall defeud?d his position, l and claimed the right to present any bili, ' and den.ed the charge of discourtesy, as the bill | stated plainly the Mayor, net Mr. Pillsbury, and < referred to the incumbent of thc oillce. Alder- ] man Barrow declaimed wildly on the necessity or preserving some show of decency, for the present action was calculated to become an admirable i weapon in the hands of the opposition. ( Alderman Voigt moved for the indefinite post- ? ponement of the second reading of the oill, but 1 thc Council were In such a muddle that several un- l dertook to explain, and the Mayor and the entire i board were fer a long time uncertain what was I to be postponed. Alderman Collins called fer a 1 division-those who were for the Mayor and : against him-and drew comparisons between ] Mr Pillsbury and lils predecessors, not compli? mentary to the latter. The accusations and re? criminations were so vehement and excited that Aldermen Geddings, Potter, Cunningham, Hollo? way and Voigt left the building, and left Council < without a quorum. < Aldem.-n Collins called loudly on the Mayor to | send after the recusant members, and, arter some , delay, the messenger was dispatched, but they | were invisible, and Council dissolved ia admired , confusion. The course of conduct pursued by Alderman Barrow was so extremely distasteful to Alder? man E. P. Wall that he announced his wish to sever all relations with him, and desired that his name be stricken from Barrow's bond. The lat- i ter endeavored to explain, but was waived off, ' and the mover ot'the bill departed considerably disgusted at the unexpected termination of his project. EASTER ELECTIONS.

I _ The Grand Regimental Band Concert at thc Academy Tc-Nlght. Our music-loving citizens would do wei' not to neglect the vocal and Instrumental concert to be giren to night, by the popular Post Band, at the Academy of Music. A very choice programme has been prepared, and wc feel justified in prom? ising to all who may attend a most agreeable en? tertainment. Besides the exquisite music of the brass band, there will be the usual varied and at? tractive features of a minstrel performance, the members having been practicing for some time past with that purpose In view. Thc scale of prices is very moderate, and there ought to be a full house. MEETING OF IRISH CITIZENS. Testimonial to the Mother of O'Dono* van ltossa. In response to a call made in the papers for a mass meeting of the Irishmen and their sympa t hizers, for the purpose or getting up a testimo nialforthe mother or O'Dono van Ross a, who is at present in the city, quite a number or our Irish citizens were present in the Hibernian Hall last night. The attendance was not as large as was anticipated; the unfavorable aspect or the weath? er, doubtless, had much to do with thc compara? tively small audience. At hair-past S o'clock Mr. James Cosgrove call? ed the meeting to order, and, on his motion, Mr. James M. Mulvaney was called to the chair, and Mr. D. H. Gllliland requested to act as secretary. Th e chairman explained that the meeting was called for the purpose of adopting measures for the relief or the mother or o Donavan Rossa, who is now lu the city in a destitute condition. Captain James Armstrong, Mr. M. P. O'Connor, Mr. L. C. Northrop and ;the chairman mp.d? brier and eloquent speeches, referring to tho sufferings or the captive immured in a British prison be? cause he had dared to lift up his voice In behalf of his oppressed and down-trodden land, and im? pressing upon the audience that, os by this im? prisonment his mother was deprived of the sup? port which her son had so gratefully and cheer? fully given her, it was the duty or Irishmen, everywhere, to see that she was cared fer. Cap? tain Armstrong stated that when he recollected that, in 1S48, In this hall, the Irishmen or this city had contributed $22,000 to aid the cause or Ire? land, he doubted not that this appeal to them would meet with a hearty and liberal response. At the conclusion or the speeches, all or which were very brief, Captain Armstrong introduced the following preamble and resolutions, and moved that a committee be appointed to carry out the resolutions: Wliereas, The irish citizens of Charleston are, and have always been, dovoted to the great spirit of Irish liberty, and are always ready to ap? prove the sterling character of their race: and whereas, Irishmen all over the world are united in their admiration of the heroism and patriotism of Ireland's O'Donovan Rossa, the unflinching representative of the martyrdom of Ireland under English rule; and whereas, this distinguished patriot has suffered for years the death of a living tomb, in the dungeons or Portland, in vindica? tion or the right or his country te berree; and whereas, the faithful Irish arm upon which his riged mother leans for support, ls helpless to serve her in this hour of her necessttv; therefore, be lt Resolved, That we, the IrlBhmen and friends of Ireland, In mass meeting assembled, have heard with emotions of patriotic ardor and satisfaction of the arrival or the venerable mother or Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa in this city. Resolved, That we extend her a true Irish wel? come, aud honor In her presence the fidelity and character or her noble son. Resolved, That we present her with a Utting tes? timonial of our respect and regard, and that we call upon the Irish citizens and the friends of Ire? land in this city to contribute to the object of this meeting. The resolutions and the motion were adopted, and the chairman appointed Messrs. Wm Moran, John O'Mara, J. F. O'Neill, M. P. O'Connor, James Cosgrove, L. C. Northrop, James Powers, D. H. Gllliland, James Armstrong and John D. Kennedy as the Committee, who were Instructed to report within a month the result ot their efforts. On motion of Mr. O'Connor, the meeting ad ourncii.

No wonder that the face of the dyapeptlc han a dragged, worn, hopeless expression that ls pitiful to see. No wonder that the miserable martyr to indigestion ls fretful, irritable and unsocial. Whoever can bear the pangs of this tormenting complaint cheerfully and with an unruffled tem? per, ls little short of a saint. But why should human fortitude continue to be thus severely tried, when an absolute specific for the disease is always ct hand. Everywhere within the limits of civilization in this hemisphere, HOTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS is obtainable, and the history or the first case or dyspepsia In which it has been administered in vain, has yet to ba written. The sickness at the stomach, the sense of weakness and stupor, the feeling of emptiness and hollow? ness before eating, and of oppression afterwards, the fluttering of the pulse, thc Intense nervous ir? ritation, thc morbid indisposition to exertion, the weariness of life and indifference to all its plea? sures, which are among the symptoms of the dis? ease In its chronic rorm, are rapidly ameliorated by the tonic operation ot this palatable vegetable restorative, which seems to renovate and quicken all the dormant forces of the system, and rouse the mind from the apathy and gloom inseparable from a derangement of the digestive and secre? tive runctlons. In ordinary cases, a few weeks suffices to complete the cure, but when the dis? ease is complicated, as it often is, with torpidity of the ?Iver, severe constipation, impurity or the blood, und a sluggish circulation, a longer time may be required. Persevere, however, and the result Ls certain. An encouraging Improvement will be perceptible Ironi day to day, and the con? valescent, knowing and feeling that he or she is on the high road to health, will await the happy Issue with comparative patience._apr!5 ? ps- AWAY WITH UNCOMFORTABLE TRUSSES.-Comfort and Cure for the Ruptured.
