The City Connell ?nd the Police. We know that the City Council deeply re? gret their inability to grant tbe petition of the police force for an increase of pay. Tax. ation has reached Its extreme limit, the bonded creditors of the city are clamoring for their money,.and the City Council know j that, if they add to their expenses, they can? not make both ends meet. There is the ad? ditional fact that the Mayor and Chief of Police assure the Council that there are many more applications for positions on the police force, at the present pay, than can be accepted, and with this statement before them the Council had no alternative bat to reject the proposition for aa increase of pay. Unless the advocates of higher wages can show where the money is to come from, and eau demonstrate that efficient policeman cannot be had at the existing rate of rsmu neration, the City Council owe it tn their j constituents not to exceed the apprcpriatioo already made. This view of the saoject was j forcibly presented to Council on Tuesday J night by Alderman E. F. Sweegan. -, We do not admit the proposition, laid] down by some of oar Charleston dema? gogues, that all taxation, at last, comes oat bf the pockets o? the poor; bat, upon that hypothesis, the proposed increase of pay would be unwise and unjust, inasmuch as the whole amount would have to be paid, in taxes, by the very classes who are least j able to carry any additional barden. Sanitary Measures. We publish below a very Interesting arti? cle from the "Report of the Board of Health f "of New York for the year 1871," and pro? pose to reproduce, as frequently as practica? ble, articles on kind red subjects, aod to offer -oar own suggestions in relation io general hypienw. Tn thia wnv WP ahull none not only to interest those whose habits and oppor? tunities of study lead them Into this field of inquiry, bat to instruct aod benefit the masses of oar people, who, from force of j circumstances, are asaally ignorant upon these important sanitary questions. Health is the paramount interest of every com mu . rrity, aod to secare this all measures should be promptly inaugurated and persistently . employed, which by universal consent are pronounced to be the most beneficial and efficacious. We are pleased to witness the energy and determination of our present] civil administration in this very serious mat-1 ter. For 'months past the whole network of public drainage has been uncovered and thoroughly cleansed, and such additional drains, diagonal and otherwise, trunks and ditches are ia coarse of construction, as shall, we doubt not, effectually drain every foot of low land within the city limits. The Board of Health, regarding this as the most efficient means of preserving the public health, are determined to accomplish this as the first great specialty of the administra? tion ; and though the treasury of the city will not warrant such expenditure of funds as may he necessary to accomplish thia ob? ject as they would desire, still, by economi? cal aod judicious management, they hope to complete the work to the entire satisfaction of the community. The attention of oar readers is specially invited to the following article upon "clean flog the streets :w "The constant sweeping of the streets Is so j essentially necessary to the preservion of health that it seems scarcely worth while to reter to it. Yet it ls supposed by some that, coleas the accumulation of mud or dirt J becomes so great as to be offensive, scav- J engering ls a useless expense; and it Is probable that if lt were pat lo a vote ? in some cities whether the streets should be swept twice Instead of three times a week-the latter materially Increasing the expense-it would be decided in favor of sweeping but twice. It is not, however, gen? erally known that tbere ls sometimes more danger, to the health of a city from removing an accumulation of refuse matter than to leave lt alone. For Ibis reason frequeot scaveoger log becomes a necessity. If the refuse bas once been suffered to accumulate, lt should j not be removed ia bot weather. An attempt j to clean the streets of Yera Cruz, aft er they j had been neglected for some time, almost in-1 volved the destruction of that portion of our army stationed there during the war wita | Mexico. "The material obtained from the si reel B has, la many ' instances, been med for filling j sunken lots and redeeming low ground. No greater folly could possibly te exhibited, for \ such a course has never Jailed to be followed by the most aggravated fevers; besides, the ma terialproperly belongs to agriculiure, so thar, In an economical view, it ls wrong so to dis? pose of lt. The proper course to pursue ls to secure a piece of waste ground outside the limits of thc city as a place of deposit for this material. By a proper arrangement of pits, night s jil, and even offal, might be added to this deposit ; and tn time a most valuable ac? cumulation of the richest kind of Jerlilizing material would yield a revenue to the city. "All the streets should be swept at least tbree limes a week, and the thoroughly es every olsrhr. The manner .in which it is done in Paris exhibits the advantages derived from a thorough syetem. the general supervision Ol V ia brunch of municipal administration is confided to the mavora, wblte KB special sa perrision falls nader the prefect of police. The sweeping of the - streets is done at the charge ol the proprietors, or where there are shops, no matter of what kind, at the expense of the owners of these shops; the average an? nual tax for this purpose ls two dollars. The receipt for this money comes from the prefect of police. "Thus the citizens pay directly for the ' sweeping ol the streets directly in front ol their houses, but the city carries away the sweepings. This labor Is now done by con? tract. The sweeping costs $300,000 annually. The contractors who carry off the rubbish, af? ter allowing lt to rot a certain time In pits, Bell it as manure at the rate of three to five francs the cubic yard, and realize a total sum on Its Bale of $700,000. The direct superin? tendence of the street sweeping ls confided to officers responsible to the city g iver nm en t. The number of scavengers employed In tbls work in Paris is twenty-five hundred, Includ? ing both sexes. They are divided Into four legions, comprising twelve battalions, or thir? ty-six companies of four sections each. "The persons found employed in this work are almost exclusively Alsatians and Germans, but very many of them speak French as well. They are not at all miserable-looking people as one sees employed in similar labor In other cities, but, for the most part, young or mid? dle-aged persons in apparent robust health. The men are paid twenty-four sous or cents per day; the women twenty sous, and the children sums in accordance with the labor they are capable of performing, for here street-sweeping, like other of the menial occu? pations, IB elevated to the dignity of "a sci? ence, and is learned by an apprenticeship. ? The sweeps collect at given point?, in com? panies of forty to sixty, every morning before four o'clock; they take their placsB io rank, two by two, men and women, and ihe roll ls called and the absent ones marked; at four o'clock they are all at work. The work ls performed by means of long switch brooms. "They finish at or before eight o'clock, ac? complishing the work in four hours. These hours are fixed, and Invariably at eight o'clock tho carts carry off the rubbish ruo rubbish from the houses can be thrown into the streets alter tbe hour fixed lor the carn lng efl* the street sweepings. "At eight o'clock in the morning tba foun tains are opened and the gutters are filled for an hour or more with streams ot pure running water, a measure that Is repeated In the conree of tbe dav according to the wants of the season; and all this ls accomplished every morning without confusion, and with the regularity of clock-work-a result due en? tirely to a careful organization and efficient j superintendents. '.The streets of Paris are thus always as clean as well-used brooms can make them. There are no relaxatlons,no experiments; it ls a regular system, which works from January to January with the same dally efficiency, and ls never the cause of complaint from any source. It is not regarded as an extraordinary feat of administration, and any Inefficiencies in its performance would be a matter of surprise. Besides inls, a certain number of workmen, cabed cantonniers, are employed all day to work on the streets, to scrape up the accumu? lating dirt, and to keep the gaiters clean. A certain number of carts are retained alt day to carry off the sweepings of these cantonniers. Tbe sweeping of the public Equares and gar? dens ls done exclusively at (he charge ol tbe city." .'The Sooth Carol'nlan." This vigorous daily newspaper is now con? ducted by Colonel J. P. Thomas and Ur. Thoa J. Lamotte. It is_ fully: armed and ?qnippelTfbr the war with Radical corrup? tion, and will do good service as the cham? pion of tbe taxpayers at tbe capital of the State. _ A DISRESPECTFUL correspondent of the New Tork Tribune speaks of tbe South Carolina Badlcal Administration as "that den of thieves "in South Carolina, whose grotesque carica? ture and criminal travesty of representative "government are a disgrace to modern civili? sation." If the staunch Bepublican who wrote this were to Bay the same thing In Columbia, he would at once be denounced by the State Radicals as a lying Democrat or a bloody Eu-Kiux. WE welcome the Abbeville Lantern to the ranks of the advocates of proportional repre? sentation. The Lantern very properly declares that the majority have the right of decisive but not exclusive representation. Under the system of proportional representation the State ls controlled by the majority, but the minority bave a voice proportioned to their numerical strength. We warn our contempo? rary, however, that we must, If we would succeed, advocate proportional representation because it is right and just, and not merely because, In this Slate, tbe negroes are in the majority. hosteller's Bitters. ~~]sy PERit5DIC DISOK^ERsT-THE paroxysmal ma'adles which are characterized by heat and cold, prevail extensively at thia seascn ; and lt ls a carious fact that la many parts or the country where they are prevalent, other diseases, that bear no general resemblance to fever and ague, or remittent fever, a- sume a periodic type. Thus, in many cectlons infested with chills and ft ver, rheumatism, neuralgia, hysteria, diarrhoea, Ac, sometimes become Intermittent, thereby in? dicating that they have been engenden d by the same poisonous exhalations which produce the first named disease. In all these masked cases of ague-for such they aie-as well as in the regular Intermittente, tne most safe and reliable remedy that can be ad? ministered 19 IIOSTETFER'S STOMACH BITTERS. Neither quinine nor araenlo are needed. Both are tn the highest degree dangerous, and are eure to leave sad traces of their poisonous action in the system, whether they arrest the paroxysms or not. In many Instances all the so-called specifics of the "regular" materia medlea utterly fall to "break up" intermittent and remittent disorders. Rut the great vegetable tonic never rails. The spasms of the minute blood vesae.s which causes the chill ls the. result of nervous weakness, pro? duced by the debilitating operation of au un? wholesome atmosph?re, and the tone and vigor given to the nervous system by the Bitters enable it to throw off the disease. The wiser policy, however, is to anticipate attacks of this nature by arousing all the latent energies or the body at the commencement of the most moist and chilly sea? son with this incomparable antidote. By pursuing this course, Intermittents, remittents, rheuma? tism, colic, billsusneae, dyspepsia and pulmonary affections may always be prevented. mchj-mwl3D*0_ vStotcljes, JetDtirg, ?Ct.

But owing to the general depression, the mem? bers or the Company, while cheerfully and freely contributing their time and labor, have had Utile else to give, and the Company, depending almobt exclusively lor support upoa the pny received from the city, has found this insufficient to meet the ex pen-e j incident to the purchase of a new apparatus, and the maintaining of the same in a proper state of efficiency. Under these circumstances, lt has been relue tautly determined to appeal to the public for aid and assistance, and the ro'lewing Committee will, with that purpose, walt upon the citizens, with the confident hope that those whom they serve wilt not suffer them to ask in vain: OOMMITTKB.
