A regular meeting of Council was held last evening at the usual hour. Present-The Mayor, and Aldermen O'Neill, Bowen, Gage, Kenny, Michaels, Voigt, Sweegan, Glover, Johnston, Moran, Slmond?, Pelzer and Sig wald. The clerk having announced a quorum, the Mayor asked ii it was the pleasure of the Council that the minutes of the last meeting be read. ?Alderman Pelzer said he hoped that the reading of the minutes would be dispensed with. Since their last meeting they had suf? fered a serious loss in the death of their able brother alderman, Colonel James H. Taylor, and be bad a series of resolutions which he wished to offer previous to the adjournment. The reading having been dispensed with, Alderman Pelzer offered the following PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, lu the mysterious providence of God, our esteemed and honored colleague, Colonel James H. Taylor, has been suddenly and unexpectedly removed from the sphere of his uselui labors; and, whereas, It is meet that we should give expression to the feelings which so painful an event cannot fail to pro? duce; be it, therefore, Resolved, That this Council unaffectedly de? plore the loss of one who, In his too brief as? sociation with them, merited for himsef their | cordial regard, and impressed them by the fidelity and ability with which he represented the interests of this community. Resolved, That this Council hereby tender to the bereaved family ot our deceased colleague their respectful coudolence under a dipensa tion which has plunged them Into profoundest grief. Resolved, That a memorial page of tho Min? ute Book of this Council be inscribed with the name and date of the death of our deceased colleague, and that a copy of this preamble and these resolutions be sent to the family of j the deceased, and be published in the dally papers. Alderman Sweegan spoke upon the resolu? tions, and said this was the second time they had been called upon to perform this meian-1 choly duty. The subject o? the memorial had | always been characterized by promptness In thedlscharge or his duties, and an earnest Inter-1 est in all matters relating to the wei ? are of the olly. As a member of Important committees the valuable services of the deceased were ac? knowledged by all with whom he acted, and It was, indeed, unfortunate;that his official ca? reer had been so short. His sole object seem? ed to have been the prosperity and welfare o? Charleston. Of him lt could not be said that be was no friend to the poor, for he used his every endeavor to better their condition, of which no better illustration could be furnished than the earn? estness with which, as president o? the How? ard Association, he carried out all plans for ministering to their wants and alleviating their sufferings. His loss could not but be deeply felt, and It would be long before his place could be adequately filled. He had been transferred to the Council above, whence his departed spirit would watch and guard their deliberations. * The resolutioua were then put and unani? mously agreed to. . On motion of Alderman Slmonds, Council thea adjourned until next Tuesday evening. CLUBS AND STARS.-The Mayor's Court yes? terday was entirely devoid of excitement, and tiie only subjects for the exercise of the judi? cial lund lone were two intoxicated Individuals and a wandering mule. The three were each fined one dollar, which was paid up at once. THE LATE JAMES H. TAYLOR.-The Columbia South Carolinian, of yesterday, says : This gentleman died suddenly, in Charles? ton, from a stroke of paralysis. Ur. Taylor was a prominent merchant. In view of his high character, and his enterprising spirit, his death Is a public loss. THE COLD SNAP IN THE INTERIOR.-Our State exchanges agree in pronouncing the cold spell of last week to have been one of exceptional severity. The LaureuBvllle Her? ald says: On Thursday morning last the thermometer s'ood in the house twenty-seven, and exposed io the temperature outside, twelve degrees be? low the freezing point at half-past seven o'clock. Water froze lu bedrooms, alter bed? time, the night previous where fires were kept up till toa o'clock, to the thickness of an inch and a half. The weather during the month of January Just passed is considered by "thc oldest inhabitants" the worst for many years. MOVEMENTS OF RAILROAD MAGNATES.-The Augusta Constitutionalist of yesterday says: The following railroad officials were at the P. an te: s' Hotel yesterday: Thomas A. Scott, President Union'Pacific and other railroads; W. T. Walters, James Shuter, B. F. Newcomer and Al lr t-d Galileo, of Baltimore; Henry Sand? ford, of New York; B. Peters, J. T. Scott and C. T. Crumbach, of Philadelphia; Colonel W. J. Johnston;, president o? the Charlotte, Co* lumbla and Augusta Railroad, and Colonel R. R.

The uninviting weather last evening of coarse had a marked effect In diminishing the usual attendance at the Academy of Music; but it Is eminently creditable to the Wyndham Company that they produced the comedy of "Still Waters Run Reep," and the sparkling afterpiece, with as much spirit, conscientious care and success as ii the house had been crowded from pit to dome. It is but Just to say that we have had no dramatic entertain? ments o? late which could compare in sustain? ed excellence and uniform finish, with the flue old comedies that are now nightly brought out on the Academy boards. It is the general ver? dict of all who have seen the company that its merits are worthy of especial recognition and patronage on the part of all seekers of refined and elevating amusement. To-night we are to have the serio-comic drama o? "Milky White"-a novelty in Charles? ton-with a lively farce at the close. We trust that there will be a full house.' We ard re? quested to state that the street cars will be run after the performance is concluded, enabling those living at a distance lo reach their homes conveniently. Roller-skating. The ladies and gentlemen who grew so fond of roller-skating a year ago, are delighted at the prospect of the revival of the sport, and the reopening of the Rink at the Academy of Music on Thursday evening promises to be a gala occasion. The Rink, wa may add, will be conducted in a manner to please the most fas? tidious. A CAREER OF VILLANY.-Jack Henderson, alias Tom Williams, one of the prisoners at the Charleston Jail, under indictment for rape, closed his checkered career yesterday morn? ing in his cell. The early misdeeds of Jack, who seems to have been about nineteen years of age, are not chronicled, and his first ap? pearance in public was on the 4th of August, 1869, when he was committed to the Charles? ton Jail for an assault and battery, with Intent to kill, npon an officer. He was tried at the November term following, and having been found guilty, was sentenced to six months' Imprisonment in the jail. He here served out his sentence and was re? leased. He went home,and an hour afterward was arrested for an assault with Intent to kill upon his own mother. He was again re? committed, and having been tried at the June term following was sent back to Jail for one year's imprisonment. Jack never seemed contented unless there were iron bars be? tween him and liberty, and his perfect resig? nation and exemplary behavior had such an effect upon the keeper that Jack was promo? ted to the responsible position of turnkey over his brother prisoners. While acting in this capacity, the celebrated Grimes, of Bowen murder notoriety, was brought to the prison, and into frequent contact with Jack. Tbe latter, with his natural love for vlllany, soon allowed Grimes to walk out of the prison door, for which transaction he ls said to have received three hundred dollars from the friends of Grimes. With the fear of the con-1 sequences before him, Jack walked off aleo, but was captured, three days after and return? ed to his prison, where he served out the re? mainder of his sentence. Once more a free man, Jack turned his back upon the scene ot his troubles and went Into the country to en? lighten the natives. Three days after his re? lease, rumora of crimes came up from the country, and the veritable Jack, under the pseudonym of Tom Williams, was arrested and almost lynched by the natives for an atrocious rape upon a colored woman on St. James Sautee. After examination, Jack found him? self once more In hld Dr Wno, TO i peet of a change to the penitentiary at the present term of the court. He was well and in good spirits on Monday evening, but was afterwards taken ill, and died sud? denly yesterday. A jury of inquest was em? panelled yesterday morning to investigate the cause of his death, but owing to the want of | evidence, adjourned over until this morning. Jack is the second prisoner under indictment (or rape who died suddenly within a week at the jail. _ _ MORTUARY REPORT FOR TBE WEEK. The following ls the official return of deaths for the City o?
