THE CITY DEBT QUESTION. Thc Views and Altitude or i lie Protest? lng Aldermen. TO THE EDITOR OF TBE NF.W9. Io the proceedings of Council, published (his morning, you noUced the f.ict of our protest against appropriations to pay the city debt, without the protest itself, which was ordered to be published. That will present, to some extent, the gronnds of our aclion. The ?act. without the reasons for it, may give us tho appearance ol a facetious opposition to a pub? lic measure, and, as on act of Justice, we would ask you to insert it. We are not ashamed of our course; we do believe that a corporation may transcend its powers; that in doing EO lt may and must do wrong; that this has done so; that there ls nor, by charter or otherwise, the power to issue cert Iflcates of stock; that the want of power has not been atoned for by any Intervening circumstance; that lt is not always meritorious lo concur in a course of error even If lt be, as thc majority o? this Council seem to assume it to be, proper; that If lt be not pleasant, it is often right and proper to oppose a measure not con? sistent with our sense o? duty or the public good, and ?o we have acied with but the sin? gle wish remaining-that we be justly under stool.

Charleston, Wednesday, January 24. (COPY OF PROTEST.) Painful as lt is to ue, a large minority of this Council, to oppose any.measure cjrrled by even so small a majority to the present con? dition of this bill, now called up for ratifica? tion as an ordinance to appropriate money to meet the liabilities of the city during the pres? ent fiscal year, we nevertheless feel it our duty, in Justice to ours.dve?, in maintenance oi honest conviction of our sworn obligations to the whole people of this city, to Justly and impartially act as best we can lor the welfare of all, lo, and do hereby, protest against the passage of iho^j parts of said bill which ap? propriate^ three hundred and iwenty thousand dollars to Interest, and thirty-three thousand dollars to pay a part of the stocK to become due this year. 1st. Because of the great number ol citizens who hold the greater part of the sall to be city debt as fradu'.ently imposed, without war? rant of law or power by charter, for any coun? cil or government to pledge and tike their private property to the interest of raliway and banking corporations, as has been done, be? cause this question of validity of said part of the city debt, and thc duty of the city authori? ties in that matter, is now pending trial and adjudication In the courts, the decision of which the duty of this Council should respect? fully await before inflicting an onerous tax upon one portion of the people, who legally challenge pur rights to do so, tor said purposes by them denounced. 2d. Because that if the debt now pa-t due and to become due this year was admitted as legal and obligatory In payment by the tax? payers, it Is not Ju-t to appropriate only thereby $33,000 to pay stock becoming due in April next, only while the whole debt now past due and to become due this year is in princ'ple alone $407,154; and finally, because such appropriations seem lu the nature of provision for some few creditors preferred, while all of the many others are disregarded. To all of this we most respectfully protest, and subscribe as Aldermen, and request that this protest be eniered upon thc records of this Council. (Signed) C. VOIGT, Alderman Ward 4. ALVA GAGS.

THE SONDAY-BCHOOLI.VTERSST.-In re3pon?e to a call from Samuel A. Nelson, Esq., chair? man ot'the executive committee of the Stale Sunday-school Convention, au Interesting meeting was held last evening, at the hall ot the Young Men's Christian Association. Most of the 3unday-8Chools in the city were repre? sented by their delegates, including, in many Instances, the pastor and superintendent, and measures were taken to receive and welcome the delegates to the South Carolina State Sun? day-School Convention, to be held lu this city on thc 15th of May next. THE COMET STAB FIRE COMPANY.-In the report of the proceedings, o? Council, publish? ed yesterday, lt is stated that the special com? mittee recommended that the location of the Comet Star Fire Company, No. 5, bc changed to a lot on Coming street. This is Incorrect. The committee recommended that this com? pany be located on a lot on the south side of Beaufaln street, between Smith and Wilson, on account ol tho proximity of many frame buildings, and other valuable property, in the neighborhood. On the lot ls a building, lately put up, strong and durable, fifty by iwenty ' feet, and well adapted for use as an engine house. t mi EMPLOYMENT FOR WOMEN.-In this city there are a great many women who aro dependent upon their dally labors for their dally bread many so situated by t ie effects of Che war. Owing to the competition of the sewing ma? chine, the old resource-the needle-is lost to them. The employmenl of this labor would be a charily. We are glad that our friend?, Walker, Evans & Cogswell, have taken a step In this matter. Tney have long employed girls, and this day they employ over twenty in light and prod table labor. Unfortunately they cannot provide work for the one hundredth part of those who need. They are already full and can help no more. Cannot some of our enterprising friends find a field for this labor? If ail the Idle hands of the city were employ? ed, Increasing our weallh, we would have a prosperity which our rivals could not dispute, nor a bad government even materla'ly Injure. MAGNIFICENT MCSIC AHEAD.-On Thursday next Theodore Thomas's grand orchestra will commence a brtel series of their matchless concerts at the Academy. This is good news for all who appreciate and love the hlg?'^;; order of music. "Mack," of the Chicago Rc? publican, is credited, witt) ihe witty remark1 tiisi the difference between Nero and Thomas's orchestra at Chicago Hes in the fact that "the former fiddled while Rime was burn? ing, and Ihe latter roamed while their fiddles were burning." It Is fortunate for Charleston that they roamed in thia direction. This ls the largest concert com? pany which, has ever travelled through the country. The orchestra, as now organized, consists of twenty violins, led by Mr. B. Llste mano, five vio'a3, one coroo anglais, four violoncellos, two clarlonettes, four double basses, two bassoons, one harp, four French horns, one piccolo, two trumpet?, two flute?, three trombones, two oboe?, one tuba, kettle drums, side drum, bass drum. &?. The sale Of tickets will begin on Monday. OUT OF THE DEPTHS_About eight o'clock lost evening, aa intoxicate j soldier became engaged in a quarrel with a colored man at the corner ot Chalmers and Meeting streets. A crowd began to collect and call for the police, when one of the latter appeared upon the scene. The soldier drew something, and swore bc would shoot any Clubs and Stars on the spot, but soon after started to run. He was pursued by lils colored antagonist, who followed him down Meeting and Broad slreeta to Dr. Kellera's 6tore, and made three al tempts to blt him In the head with a slung- [ shot. The crowd, uow grown considerably, followed, and the soldier was arrested in the store. The colored man was not found. The prisoner was drunk, and very obstreperous, rendering bis incarceration In the black hole a matter of necessity. His cries and moans from this dread abyss were frightful to hear. He will oe brought before the Mayor this morning. m THE GERMAN LADIES' SOCIEIY BALL.-The grand bali giren by the German Ladles' So? ciety, for the benefit cf the new German church, took p!aC'*. last evening at Hibernian Hall, atid was a brilliant affair. It had been one of the pet projects of the ladles for some time past, and Its Fplendld success fully real-1 ized their expectations. At an early hour of | the evening the glossy floor was covered with a Joyous crowd of promenaders, wh03e happy laughter and conversation could only be subdued by the melting strains from Mul? let's Band, which fell upon the ear at breath? ing intervals, and sent thc couples flying with true German ze-t through the mazes of the dreamy waltz. Among tie first public balls of | Hie season, everybody seemed to be there, and the enjoyment lasted far into the wee morning hours. We are glad to learn that, the new church ls positively to be completed-in a few weeks. Mr. Wood, of New York,- has arrived for ihe purpose of fitting up the stained glasswork in the church, and these desirous of seeing a handsome edifice will be gladly shown around the church by the commi'tee. AN UNWARRANTABLE INTR?SION.-Between one and two o'clock yesterday morning a marriage pirty at ihe house of a respectable colored citizen, In St. Philip street, near Cal? houn, was rudely invaded by a colored man named Henry Page, wh3 proceeded to make himself at home in the most offensive man? ner. His cursing and disorderly behavior at? tracted Sergeant Minotr, of the police, who tried to persuade the Intruder to leave, with? out 8HCce8s. The police having been called, Page started back attempting to draw his knlle, btit was struck by the police, and at | length forced Into the street. He was here placed in charge of two trusty Clubs and sitars to be taken to the Guardhouse. On the way a friend of Page's came up and threatened to shoot the officers should they strike Page. Emboldened by this, l he latter drow his knife and mide a cut at the policeman. The knife went through tho overcoat and coa*, making a neat gap In the raiment ot Clubs and Stars, who retreated with alacrity, warding off the blows of the pursuing Page. The latter finally retired at bia leisure, and the police reported the facts at the Guardhouse to the Mayor, who ordered the matter lo be Investigated by a trial Justice. About eleven o'clock Page WBB arrested, end has been lodged in Jail pending the Investigation. HUS IN US S NOTICES.
