The Sew Board of Aldermen in Good
Working Order-A Good Day'? Work

presiding, and Aldermen O'Neill. Bjwen, Smith,
V^igt, Gage, Sig wald, Garrett, Kenny, Sweegan,
Glover, Johnston. Taylo.-. Moraa and Browa
preseat. This being the first attendance of Alder
mm Smith since his election, the oath of office
was administered to him by the Mayor In the
presence of the full board before proceeding to
business. The minutes of the last meeting were
then read, and, after a few unimportant correc?
tions, were approved.
The following petitions were presented :
By Alderman O'Neill-Petition of property
owners on King street for the widening of that
street between Clifford and Queen streets. Re?
ferred to the committee on streets.

sr Southern wharf for the bnslaesa convenience
af those traders who subscribe to the expense.
Referred to t he committee on city landa.
The following reports were received:
From the city engineer, recommending a aya
:em of drainage for Smith and M rrla street?, ac
:ompanIed by elaborate maps and drawings. Re
erred to commit te on tidal drains.
By the etty sheriff, recapitulating the monthly
?eports (already pub llshed) of the recent opera
ions of his department. Received as informa?
ron.
THE LEGACY OF THE OLD 30ARD.
Alderman Sweegan, from the* committee on
vjoden and brick building*, reportel favorably
man application froai William Marscher to erect
wo frame buildings, and the permission was
ranted.
Alderman V igt, from the special committee on
innnished business, reported that they bad ex?
amined the minutes or the meeting or September
, 1971, which was the last meeting of the late
louncll, and hal found them correct. They had
tot been able, however, to fin! record8 of the pe
Itloaa submitted to the old board and und lapos
d of at tie retirement of that board, and they,
beref ire, suggested th it the clerk of the present
?janell ahouid request all citizens who had sub
aitted petitions to the old Council that had not
?en acted upon, to renew their petitions to the
ireaent Connel'. The committee had also found
he draft of an ordinance empowering the board
f health to establish a permanent mud to render
he City Hospital a self-sustaining Institution,
ne report of the committee waa accepted, and
be unfinished business was referred to appro
ria te committees.
Alderman Taylor rose to explain the bill in re?
nton to the City Hospita', which bad been intro
aced In the former Cou nc!1. It authorized the
enervation of the money received from "pay pa?
loma" at the hospital aa a permanent road for
he benefit or the institution, while the expenses
f such patients should be paid ont of the city
inda la the same way that the expenses of other
atienta were paid. It was laying by the lnoome
r the institution as a permanent investment,
rhlle drawing oat from the city treasury the
loney needed for its expenses, and he queslion?
el the pillcy or such a course while the treasury
^as at such a low ebb and so much difficulty was
x perte need m raising money. It would be pair
nanclering, he thought, to Invest money ataeven
er cent, and borrowing at from twelve to
Ighteen per cent. He underatood that the board
r health hid already accumulated a fond of
bout seven thousand donara In thia way, and,
'bile he would not advise that thia rand be taken
way from them, he hoped that the bill authorlz -
lg the continuance of this alnking rand practice
on ld be lost. He therefore moved t j lay the bill
a the table, which motion was ananlmoasly car
ed.
The call for reports from comm ttees being con
nued, M*.yor Wagener rapirted, la the absence
'. the chairman of the committee on accounts,
tat that committee had examined billa amount
ig to $3398 44, and found them correct. The re?
in was adopted. The Mayor also reported, in
ie absence or the chairman of the committee on
itlroads, that Alderman sim inda, or that com
lit tee, had gone to Columbia to attend the meet
tg of the Blue Ridge Ral roa i Company, anl
ould doubtless be reidy to report therefrom at
ie next meeting of ths Coancil.
Alderman Moran, from the committee on tidal
raina, reported that the tidal drain in Coming
ireet had become obstructed, and had ceased to
sw, and he recommended that mea be employed
> remedy the defect. Referred to the street In?
jector for repairs.
Alderman Sweegan, from the committee on the
Ire Department, reported that upon the petition
r the fl remasters, for certain repairs upon the
almetto and Hope Engine-houses, they had
lade examinations and found that repairs were
aeded on the Palmetto, but not on the Hope,
hey recommended, therefore, that a report by
te city engineer be ordered as to the repairs
eeded on the former boase, and that the petition
i to the latter house be referred back to the fl re
tasters. Adopted.

It was suggested by the Mayor that the Council
?ouid fix a day for the election of the regular

-gular meeting In December. On motion of Mr.
ay lor lt waa, therefore,
Besotead, That the election Tor the city boards
e held at the regular meeting of the biaid, on
uesdiy, the 12th day of December.
A communication from the street inspector or
ie lower wards was read, which reported that

eed or repairs, which would probably cost ;<>00;
ie two bridges leading to Bennett's wharr needed
"pairs to the extent or $150; the plank road, at
ie root or Laurens street, needed repairs to the
stett cf $600; and that the plank road at the

tterssts or convenience or the public, and the
eslred permission waa granted.
THE QUESTION OP SPECIAL DETECTIVES.
The Mayor then announced that he had, upon
ie recommendation or a number of prominent
lerchanta upon East Bay, appointed Moses Levy
special detective, without pay, to prevent
lefts from the wharves and warehouses along
ie water front. He had also bad applications
>r other appointments of the same kind, and he
esired io bring the subject to the at ten?
on or th? Council, si as to obtain the
pinions of the members as :o the oxpediency
t miking further appointment?. This led
to an Interesting debate, which was
part'clpated in bj Aldermen Bowen, Gage, Ken?
ny, Taylor, Slgwald and O'Neill, the general feel?
ing appearing to be that it was not advisable to
increase the police force of the cl'y In this Irregu?

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT.
The postponed October term or this court was
irmally opened yesterday morning by his Honor,
ndge George S. Bryan, who had been unable to
ttend on the preceding day by the failure of a
illroad train, upon which he had depended to
sach the city, making the proper connections,
iie grand Jury was not organized, however, only
?vea of the persons summoned having put in an
ppearance, and the district attorney was not
resent, so that no jury cases were taken up. A
ispatch was received from District Attorney
orbln yesterday, however, stating that he would
each the city this morning and attend to the pros -
cuilon of such cases as may be brought before
he present term, which win probably not extend
eyond Friday of this week.

ignames: Fleetwood Lanneau, roreman; Wli?
am Schnlerle, Daniel Geiger, John Cad worth,
ames A. Daffos, Thomas Flynn, W. H. Cain and

olored. Both tbe grand and petit jnries were

ramed.
The following business was transacted by the

Upon 'he application of Nachmaa & Co., in re
Ldolph Wtthowsky and Augustus M. IJiams, peti
t lon of involutary bankruptcy, the debtors were
ordered to show cause at Columbia on December
1st why they should not be declared bankrupts.
In the matter of Grady A Bfewltrtm, and Gra?
dy, Hawltrom 4 Turbeyville, upon the applica?
tion or J. A j. D. Blvens for compensation as at?
torneys, an order was entered that they be paid.
Ia the suit of Wilmot G. DeSiussure, trus?
tee, against Wm. W. Elliott and Louis McLaln,
assignees In bankruptcy, a motion for foreclos
ure was referred to Daniel Horlbeck, Esq., as
special referee as to the amount due upon the
mortage, debt, Ac, and as to the cost or proceed?
ings and suitable fee for solicitor.
THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC-The second per?
formance of the Llngards at the Academy was
greeted last evening by a much better souse than
the very unfavorable weather seemed to promise.
The strength or the company ls eminently snited
to just the light and spirited comedy to which,
with excellent judgment, they confine them?
selves; and tbe two pieces selected tor last even?
ing's entertainment displayed their merits to
great advantage. The opening comedietta of
Delicate Ground, or Paris in 1793, contains only
ihree rOles, but the chlaf of these was excellently
maintained by Miss Alice Dunning, and the other
two fared tolerably well In the hands of Messrs.
Evans and Cheater. Tho piece ls foll ol verbal dev?
aneases and telling situations, and though some?
what wanting 1B variety, was pleasant enough asa
irelnde to tbe more solid business of the evening.
This was furnished by Robertson's three-act
tomedy of "David Garrick," which was given m
lapital style and wi h a remarkably even cast.
Hiss Dunning, as "Ada Ingot," was equal both m
dr and action to the exactions of her by no
neans simple part, and displayed in one or two
loleta of the r?le very unusual grace and vigor.
1er attractive person adds the mystic touch of |
leaoty to her acting, and we have rarely seen a
nore striking picture than she presented in the
econd act when witnessing with horror and dis.
;nst the excesses of the man whom ber love had
Jmost deified. Mr. Lingard, as "Squire Chivy,'
nd Mr. Matthews, as "Simon Ingot," are also
rort hy of special mention.
Between the two comedies Mr. Lingard gave a
eries or bis really wonderful sketches and imper
onations, ol which we can only say that, having
sen them, we ceas.*, to marvel at the celebrity
nd skill with which oar old friends, the Daven
ort?, bewitched us in the matter of knots and
oat cbftcglngs.
Altogether we can cenfldeatly say that lovers
night and unambitious comedy could hardly
nd it m : ch better done than Miss Dunning and
lr. Lingard and, with one or two tuning excep
ons, their whole company are now doing it at
ie Academy.
