THEO. STARK,
Mayor, Ex-Officio Chairman of Commissioners of Public. Buildings.
RICHLAND DISTRICT, S. C., October 1, 1866.
Thc Commissioners of the Poor respectfully report the proceeding of the present year as follows :
There was no meeting of the Commissioners on ths 1st of January, 1866, the usual time. There being nu
funds wherewith to provide for the poor, in any respect, tho Commissioners deemed it unnecessary or useless. But
in July, the Tax Collector informed thc Chairman-of the Board that there was funds iu hand. A meeting was then
called. On the 16th of July, thc first meeting of the Board was held since the Shermain raid through this Dis?
trict, and thc business, in the usual manner, attended to-a part of which is as follows : The office of Steward was
done away with, and thc inmates (eight in number) are required to draw weekly rations in Columbia, at thc grocery
store of Messrs. Campbell & Milling. There are, also, nineteen other paupers living in the District who are .sup?
ported in like manner. Previous to this, nothing could be done for the poor, with the exception of twenty-six
bushels of corn, which was furnished by the Steward. This unfavorable state of things was obliged to exist from
February, 1865, to July, 1806. Thc above is respectfully submitted.

Our Alabama. Claims.
It appears to bo a more difficult
matter to get our own Government to
make tho demand than it promises to
be to force that of England to pay
our Alabama claims. The important
speech of Lord Stanley, and the not
less significant extracts from thc Lon?
don Times, which wo gave in yester?
day's Herald, would indicate not
merely a disposition to come to a
quiet settlement, but also that it .is
the fixed policy of the new adminis?
tration ot* Earl Derby to conciliate
this nation, instead of pursuing thc
false policy of Earl Russell. It is by
no means a forced conclusion to as?
sume that the Times' article fore?
shadowed this change of policy; and
certain it is that it indicates a' great
change on tho subject in the public
sentiment of thc country. The
speech of Lord Stanley is eminently
conciliatory and reveals an earnest
desire on his part to explain away
misunderstandings-mutual misun?
derstandings, as he calls them; but
the mistake is all on the English side
with regard to the Alabama claims.
Thc article of the Times commending
the speech says it was "designed to
satisfy the United States," and that
English relations with this country
"are safe in his hands." It will have
been noticed, too, that an important
passage of thc other article which wc
quoted, and which proposed an
international commission to decide
upon thc Alabama claims, explains a
presupposed difference between the
policy of Lord Stanley and that of
Earl Russel. In brief, tho tone of
the speech, the articles, and of pub?
lic sentiment generally in England
with regard to this country, shows
that the policy of the Derby ad?
ministration is changed and much
modified from that of Earl Russell,
and that nothing remains to be done
by this country but to make a firm
demand for settlement, backed by a
plain intimation that in case of
refusal to settle on equitable terms,
the United States proposes to take its
just pay out of Canada or out of
English commerce.
But it seems that the administration
has not nerve enough to make this
demand in a prompt and decided
manner. English opinion has been
changed, English policy in this regard
modified and altered-not by the
action of the Government, but, as
Lord Stanley intimates, by the tone
of the newspapers and declarations of
the merchants of this country. That
the public sentiment of this country
demands indemnity for our losses by
the action of England in building
pirate ships for the rebels, has been
made clearly evident to the British;
but it is apparently unperceived, or
if observed, misunderstood by our
own Government. The favorable
opportunity for this desirable settle?
ment has come. Eugland shows a dis?
position, and our merchants indicate
by their late movements at Washing?
ton a determination to come to a
final settlement of the question, and
nothing remains for Mr. Johnson to
do but make the demand in unequi?
vocal language. Let the intention
to enforce these demands be made
definitely and immediately, and they
will be as good as settled. The first
step should be made by the retire?
ment of Mr. Seward from the Cabi?
net. He bas done all that one man
could do to misrepresent the senti?
ment of this people on foreign ques?
tions, and his dismissal from the
Cabinet would do more to indicate to
France and England that the admini?
stration at last comprehends the feel?
ings and accedes to the demands of
the people on the subject of the
Alabama claims and the Monroe doc?
trine than any one act in Mv. John?
son's power to perform.

A NEW AND GRAND EPOCH nt MEDICINE.
Dr. Maggiel is the founder of a new medi?
cal system! The quanti) arians, whose vast
internal doses enfeeble the stomach and
paralyze tho bowels, must give precedence
to the man who restores health and appe?
tite, wi.h from ono to two of his extraordi?
nary Tills, and cures the most vhuient
sores with a box or so of his wonderful and
all-healing Salve. These two great speci?
fics of the Doctor are fast superseding all
the stereotyped nostrums of tho day. Ex?
traordinary cures by Maggiel's Pills and
Salve have opened the eyes of the public to
tho inefficiency of the (so-called) remedies
of others, and upon which people have so
long blindly depended. Maggiel's Pills aro
not of the class that are swallowed by the
dozen, and of which every box full taken
creates an absolute necessity for another,
j One or two of Maggiel's Pills suffices to
place the bowels in perfect order, tone the
stomach, create an appetite and render tho
spirits light and buoyant. There is no
griping and no reaction in the form of con?
stipation. If the liver is affected, its func?
tions are restored; and if the nervana sys?
tem is feeble, it is invigorated. lins last
quality mak^s thc medicines very desirable
for the wants of delicato females. Ulcerous
and eruptive diseases aro literally extin?
guished bv the disinfectant power of Mag?
giel's Salve. In fact, it is hero announced
that MuogieUs Bil ions,,Dyspeptic andJ>iar
rtura Pills cure where all others fail. While
for burns, scalds, chilblains, cuts and all
abrasions of thc skin Maggiel's Soire is in?
