THE CITY DEBT. The petitions were then called lor, and Alderman Voigt, k*in behalf of sundry citi? zens," submitted the following: CHARLESTON, S. C. , June 26, 1870. To the Honorable tne Mayor ami Aldermen of the City of Charleston": GENTLEMEN-At a recent meeting of the citi? zens of Charleston, a committee was appoint? ed to contest the validity of certain portions of the city debt, and that committee accepting office, and proceeding to act under the resolu? tion ot that meeting, navp instructed us to ad? dress you upon certain matters connected with the objects of their appointment. The committee are advised that a large por? tion of the present stock: of the city was origi? nally issued to the construction of railroads and to other objects not within the scope of the city charter. They are advised also that the powers ot the city government are strictly limited to the mu? nicipal functions indicated in the charter, and that stock to other objects is invalid, and they have been informed that it is your purpose to pay instalments ot interest on this stock cu the first of July proximo, and that under the ordinances of your predecessors In Council you p.re now issuing stock for arrears and Interest on this stock, so questionable as we have stated. In view of these facts, they have instructed us to advise you of their appointment, and that it is their purpose, atan early day, to take the measures necessary to test legally the validity of all the stock so issued as aforesaid, and they have Instructed us to present, that you yourselves have been elected to the same charter under which your predecessors acted; that In this charter you find no warrant to subscribe to railroads, or to invest to any other than strictly municipal objects; and that li, under that charter, you have no power to make such such issues of stock, you are equal? ly without the power to pay interest on such illegal issues. They also Instruct us to present that the tax? is assessed for the present year.elderly for the i payment of such Interest, are very heavy; that < few can pay them easily; that many cannot pay them but at the sacrifice of the property they ire made to charge: that If the interest be not ' paid, and your body shall expend only to municipal objects, at least one Instalment of ?he current taxes may be spared; that the re- , mission of this instalment will be a great re? te:' to a large portion of the community, and 1 ;hey instruct us to request, therefore, that you < suspend the payment of interest on the city t lebt, pending the questiou of the validity of such portions as noon the grounds mentioned ire to be put in issue; that you discontinue ' ssue of stock to the arrears ant interest there- \ >n, and that you remit, if in your judgment it . nay be done, the lost instalment of taxes to >e levied this year. The committee are conscious you have no l notive to be partial in this contest; they be- j leve that you would be pleased to spare this ?ommunlty unnecess: ry burdens, and trust- * ng that In the want J. original power to issue < ;hls stock, you will see the propriety of with- ? ?olding .such endorsement of lt as will constat n the payment of the interest, they express he* hope that your action in this regard may bc n accordance with the requests which they lave made. With great respect, Your obedient servants. BREWSTER, SPRATT A BURKE, Solicitors for the Committee. ' After the reading of the petition, Alderman 1 Folgt offered the following resolutions : ! Resolved. That Council cease paying Interest 1 >n the city debt, and that his Honor the Mayor ] >e requested to direct the city treasurer not o pay any of the quarterly Instalments ol in- ' erest due July 1, 1870. < Resolved. That a committee of three be ap tointed by his Honor the Mayor, to take into onsideration it all or how much of the third . QStalment of the city taxes can be remitted in lew of non-payment ol interest. ' Alderman Holloway seconded the resolutions. * Alter innumerable motions to receive the evolutions and petition as information, and to lefer further consideration ot them, Alderman laxrow moved that the "City Council have.no tower or voice as to the validity of the city ' lebt, as the whole subject in relation to this natter Is in the hands.of the citizens, who are , tow taking the necessary steps to test the va- t Idity of the same." Alderman Collins said that to adopt Alderman {arrow's motion was to endorse the action of ? he citizens, who by their movement in the natter had sbown that they had no confidence n the City Council, and for this reason he loped the motion would uot bc adopted. Alderman E. P. Wall thought as the City Coun- I ill was only the agent of the people, and as he people had commenced to move in the natter of the city debt, lt wast not meet for he City Council to take hold of the question 1 tow.
