A Spat Between the City Sheriff* and Alderman Collins-A Committee or In. vestigation Demanded and Rcfnscri Civil Rights and Licenses. A regular meeting of ?he City Council was held last eveniDg. at which were present the Mayor, Aldermen Barrow, Collins, Potter, Cun? ningham, Voigt, Geddings. Thorne. Holloway, E. P. and L. F. Wall McKinlay. Hampton, Howard and Small. The reading of the minutes of the last meer? ing was dispensed with. PETITIONS, tC. Petition ol the president o:' rr.e German Freundschaftsbund for the extension of a drain on George street was referred to tho Commit? tee on Streets, with power to act. Petition from George Jefferson to erect a wooden shed on lot No. 4 Pinc.cney street wa? referred to the Committee on Brick and Wooll? en Buildings. Petitions of the corporation of the Centra! Presbyterian Church, and of private parties, for a reduction of assessment, were referred to tho Committee on Assessment. Petition ol Rev. Mr. Hunter was referred to the Committee on Brick and Wooden Buildings. Petition of E. J. Lewis was referred to the Committee on Brick and Wooden Buildings. Petition of George Thompson was referred to the same committee. Petition of (Jeorge Newnan was referred to the Committee on Lighting thc Street?, with power to act. Petition of John B. Ladtte. relative to ex? tending telegraphic lines of the Southern At? lantic Telegraph Company through the streets of the city, was read and permission granted, provided that the company should erect no poles on King and Anson streets. Petition of sundry property owners on Con? cord, Washington, Inspection and Vernon streets, asking that steps be taken to prevent their property from being inundated at every high tide, was referred to the Committee on Tidal Drains, with power to act. Petition of Hook and Ladder Company. No. 2, for a loan of $.?00, -vas referred to the Com? mittee on the Fire Department. REPORTS, ?c. The City Registrar reported that the Board of Inspection had examined the drain in Marsh street, and found that there was no escape for the water, and recommended that lt be Axed at once. The recommendation was adopted A communication from the Chief of Police, calling the attention of Council to the fact that if Lieutenant Tait accepted the appointment of colonel ol the First Regiment of State Mill tia, he would do so in violation of police regit tflto?s, was read. Alderman E. P. Wall thought the letter was an intrusion, and moved that it be laid upon the table. After considerable discussion the letter was received as information. The Committee on Accounts presented a number of accounts, aggregating $4410 1G which were ordered to be paid. A bill was presented from the Courier office for advertising the property of deliquent tax? payers, and some discussion ensued. The city sheriff, Mr. Addison, was called upon to explain. He tluuight that the city should pay tho bill, while one or more of the Aldermen thought he should. Alderman Collins asked the city sheriff If he had not charged that his predecessor had been derelict in his duties, to which the sherin" re plied that he had intimated something of the kind, but replied in the negative to a question from Alderman Collins, whether or not he had isserted that his predecessor was criminally aegllgent. This answer aroused the ire of Alderman Dolli ns, and he vehemently asserted that thc :ity sheriff had stated that his predecessor was :rlminally negligent in *hls duties, and pro tested that there was something wrong In the sheriff's office, and that persons who lived in glass houses should not throw stones. The Mayor announced that Alderman Collins was indulging In personalties, and rapped him to order. Alderman Collins denied that the Mayor had i right to call him to order tinder the clrcuni stances. The Mayor rapped Alderman Collins to order again, and begged him not to forget that he was a member of Council. Alderman Coll'ns begged the Mayer not to forget that he was the presiding officer, and suggested that if lie (the Mayor) had always shown the determination to his enemies that lie was now disposed to show to his friends, he (Alderman Collins) would have more respect for h'm. The Kuyor responded by repeated rapplngs jf the gavel, and Alderman Collins sat down. Alderman Collins then moved that a com? mittee ot three be appointed to investigate thc sooks aud accounts of the City Sherill'. Alderman Small seconded "de motion to have satisfaction." Alderman Barrow thought that a committee was unnecessary. Alderman Collins said that the statements of the elly sherill* himself had caused -him (Col? lins) to withdraw from his (Addison's) bond; ?ie thought an investigation was necessary, and pressed Iiis motion. Sheriff Addison said thu? "before this board and before High Heaven, ho swore that all of the charges made against him were as false as hell's breath," and then attempted to say a great deal more, but was interrupted by Hie Mayor's gavel. However, he managed to say that he demanded an investigation. Alderman Voigt thought the City Council had been made the laughing-stock often enough, and regretted that this affair should have oc? curred, and stated that if the Committee on Printing had attended to it duties, this scene would not have been enacted. In conclusion, he moved that the bill be paid. Alderman Collins's motion was put and lost. Alderman Collins called for the yeas and nays. Alderman Small withdrew lils second to Al Jeruian Collins's '.notion, and was in favor ot paying the bill and letting the matter rest. Alderman Collins said that if it could be truly stared by the opposition press that this Council wanted to throw a mantle over thc black deeds of its appointees, he desired to va? cate his seat. The,gag-a rule of Council that no one should speak upon any subject more than three times was put on, and the vote upon the question of appointing an investigating committee was again put and lost. On motions of Aldermen Holloway and Bar? row, the bill was ordered to be paid. A letter from the city attorney, deciding ad? versely to the petition of the Mechanics' Lyce? um for the free use of the city building on Citadel Green, was read, and Council decided to refuse the petition. -"-Alderman Voigt thought thc Lyceum should have the use of thc building, and moved a re? consideration of thc action of Council, which motion was rejected. The Committee on Brick and Wooden build? ings reported favorably upon tho petitions of J. C. Harbers, C. Boinesl and-Spinceel. The report was adopted. DfLI.S, KKSOLCrrON'S. *c. Alderman E. P. Wall presented a bill to se? cure to all the people of Charleston all of their vested rights, and to amend the ordiuancc entitled "An ordinance to regulate licenses, and for other purposes,'" as follows: A Bll.f.

Ir received a first and second readings, and was ordered to ins printed. Alderman Voigt objected to the bill in toto. Alderman Voigt offered a resolution provid? ing that tile report of thc Committee on Streets, formerly adopted, be amended so as to pro? vide that the plank road on Calhoun street he commenced from Anson street, aud that the work be commenced forthwith. Alderman Cunningham opposed tho resolu tlon.The resolution was lost. .

Before doing any damage, he was arrested by policemHn Butler, who fortunately caine up. ABOUT TO TUMBLE.-For some time past, a house on the east side of King, between Queen and Broad streets, has been in a dilapidated condition. Although there was a prospect of its tailing in at any moment, it was Inhabited. Captain Hendricks, considering that ir was dangerous for the family to remain in it, had them removed yesterday, and strange to say they left much against their will. THE BIG PHOSPHATE COMPANY-PREPARA? TIONS FOB EXTENSIVE WORK.-The Marine and River Phosphate Mining and Manufacturing Company of South Carolina, of which Geo. W. Williams, Esq.. is the president, is making pre? parations for extensive work. The Middle At? lantic wharf has been hired, and a tug boat and steam dredging machine purchased.

A man, whose son was killed recently hy? the explosion of a boiler, will, wc learn, insti stilule a suit for $UO,000 damages to-tlay, against the company owning the boiler. RICE LANBS-A KEW IDEA.-The Wilming? ton. N. C. Journal of yesterday, speaking upon the ultimate purpose to which the valuable rice lands in this section will bc applied in or? der to render them, profitable to the owners, says : Dr. J. E. Winants. the purchaser, two or three years ago. of the rice plantation former? ly owned by Mri'S. P. I voy. has been und is still engaged in a series ol' experiments with various cereals, and has, we believe, attained an encouraging degree of success. He has al? ready made a profitable crop of hay, and is HOW Hying what can be done with corn, cot? ton. Ac. To obviate the difficulty arising from want of drainage, a wind mill, with pumps at? tached, has been recently put imo successtul operation, and even with imperfect dams, in? sufficient ditches. Ac. it keeps lift y acres of land dry enough to admit of ploughing. Regu? lating the extent of surface exposed to Un? wind, according as the wind may be, high or otherwise, and always keeping laced to the wind, it requires no care, except oiling, and performs its work steadily at night as well as in the day. When at full speed it will pump from six to seven thousand gallons per nour. If Dr. Winants succeeds in raising cotton on these (since the war) useless lands, they will no doubt soon bc put into a slate of cultivation. The entire cost nf one of these wind mills and pumps is about $000. Wc should think truck gardening would pay on rice lunds. The soil requires no fertilizers, and the money saved In that direction would easily purchase the wind? mill. _ Hotel Arrivals-May 31. PAVILION HOTEL. J. W. Mosely, Orangeburg; R. E.

One Person Killed and Several Wound? ed by tHe Falling ot -Walls. About 4 o'ciock yesterday afternoon our en? tire community was startled by the report that a building on King street had fallen and buried several persons beneath its ruins. Tho report, spread, increasing the number of killed and wounded at every step. Nearly all the male citizens crowded to the spot indicated hy? the report, to find that they were partially true, and to be gratified that the damage to life and limb was not as great as the reports had induced them to believe. Several months ago the store on the west side of King, thc lourth door south of Beaufaln street, was destroyed by fire, only the walls and some charred rafters remaining. A short time since laborers commenced the work of rebuilding, and were rapidly progressing About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, thc walls tumbled in with a crash, and almost buried in the mass of timbers and bricks Lewis Perkins, colored, Patrick and Joseph Culleton. and Jacob Nelson, colored. As soon as the work? men and those who collected recovered from the shock and surprise which the fall occasion? ed, they rushed in among the debris and brought out those above mentioned. Perkins was instantly killed, and Joseph Culleton and Jacob Nelson badly wounded, receiving bruises and cuts in all portions of their bodies. Mr. Patrick Culleton was only slightly injured. Others of the workmen were also slightly wounded. It seemed a matter of impossibili? ty that any of the workmen employed about thc building could have escaped, and for a iong time the impression prevailed that there were several ol them dead in the ruins. The body ot Perkins was taken in charge by Coroner Whiting, who will hold an inquest to? day. The two seriously wouuded men were removed to thc City Hospital, where they re? ceived the necessary medical treatment. Their injuries were of so'dangerous a character, that late last evening it was thought that they could not live. There were numerous reports regarding the cause of the accident, and by many criminal carelessness was imputed to those connected with the work. As the coroner, with Iiis jury, will give the matter a thorough Investigation to-day and place the blame, If such there was. where it rightfully belongs, we will refrain from further allusion to lt. ELECTION OF OFFICERS.-At the fifteenth annual meeting of the Amateur and Fraternal Associa lon, colored, the following officers were elected to serve the ensuing year: Aspinall, president; E. L.

TICKET AGENCY.-Mr. Asa Butterfield, who is so well and favorably known to the citizens of Charleston and of South Carolina, has opened a ticket agency at the Charleston Hotel for the sale of tickets for all points attainable by rail or steamer. An agency of this kind is of great service to the travelling public. By purchasing their tickets at it. all the worry, bustle and confusion incidental to the point of | departure-tho usual place for purchasing tick? ets- are avoided. In addition to this great convenience, there are others attached to this agency. Mr. Butterfield will be well posted, and keep on hand all maps, traveller's guides, and other sources of information for travellers, by which they can readily ascertain the cheap? est and most practicable routes. As to the fitness ol' Mr. Butterfield for the important office he has established, it is useless to say anything, as lils numberless friends will all certify that he is the right man In the right place. Mr. L. C. Hendricks, general ticket agent of thc South Carolina Railroad, hos written lo us requesting us to state that he "has placed on sale at the Charleston Hotel, by direction of | Mr. A. L.

Her safferlngs were acute, hat her patience under them exemplary. Docility, sim? plicity of spirit, fidelity in attachment were char? acteristic of a life which developed many virtues. For many painful months previous to her death her reason was impaired, yet she did not fall to preserve her tenderness of affection for those she loved, and whom she readily recognized. Later the cloud seemed to lift from her mind, and she spoke with assurance and fervor of her ap? proaching close, seeming ready to embrace the end, for which she intelligently declared herself prepared.

Our Hose, af.er faithful use for rive years, is now un equal to the performance of its duty, and there ls a balance due for the purchase of the Engine, still remaining unpaid. The pay from the city has been greatly reduced and caa contribute to no more than the current expenditures, and the resources of the Company otherwise are entirely inadequate to meet these necessities, or they would be cheerfully devoted to them without a call upon your aid. We are wlillug and anxious to devote to your interest ail our zea', and all our service, without recompense, and wc only ask you to assist us to do so with that measure of elllclency which the magnitude ot'that interest demands, by enabling us to keep up our Engine and apparatus ia pro? per order. Tlie oldest chartered Company in the Depart? ment, the Pioneer, in t'::e Introduction ni" steam power for the salvation of your property, ask you to look back upon the long years of its service, and to contribute to that etllcieucy that is their pride and your interest to cherish and protect.

Advertising Induces the public to try many things, but In this shrewd and thoughtful age, words will not suftlce with? out proofs, and lt Js hythe exercise of their pri? vate judgment, men determine the relative value of the various articles recommended to their no? tice through the business columns of newspapers. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS has now been subjected to this searching ordeal for more than eighteen years, and the result ls that lt stauds ac the head of the class of remedies to which lt be? longs. It has distanced and lived down Innu? merable competitors, and is to-day the Standard Vegetable Tonic of the Western world. The happy effects which have followed Its use in cases of dyspepsia, biliousness, nervous affections, Inter? mittent fevers and general debility, and as a con? stitutional invigorant, have entitled lt to univer? sal confidence. Nothing can ever shake Its repu? tation, for it ls based on the individual experien? ces of tens ot' thousands of witnesses, embracing prominent and well known citizens of every pro? fession, occupation and class. There ls not a city, town or settlement In the United States where lt ls not a medicinal staple. No druggist or general dealer would consider his stock complete without lt, aud the returns of thc Internal revenue depart? ment show that Its sales exceed those of any other proprietary restoratives manufactured on this side of the Atlantic. The beneficial results derived during a long series of yf irs from the use of Uostetter's Bitters, have conv.iccd the whole community that the only true way to restore to health a broken down or debilitated system, or to put the human body on Its defence when ex? posed to unwholesome Influences, ls to invigorate, regulate and purify lt at one and the same time. mSY2T-6DAC AWAY WITH SPECTACLES.-OLD Eyes made new, easily, without doctor or medi? cines.
