COUNCIL CHAMBER, CoiiOtBiA, March 22, 1SG7. Present-His Honor thc Mayor: Aldermen Alexander, Fisher, Geiger, Stint, McDonald, McKenzie, Rad? cliffe, Stork, Taylor and Walter. His Honor the Mayor stated that he had called a meeting of thc Conn eil io consider certain charges prc ferred against tho police. Tho Committee on G uard Hous< and Police submitted Ino followinf report, which was adopted: Th'"* Committee on (.naru Hons, and Police beg leave: to report: Tba they have examined the reports <> thc Chief of Police for the month; of January and February last, an? find that some of the assistant po Licemcn have been derelict in thci duty as to answering to their name at roll-call during said months. Th Committee, therefore, rccommcm that those who have boon thus doro iict (as will appear ou reference to th accompanying report of thc Chief c Police) be summoned before this Cit Council instanter, for the investig! tion of their respective cases. The Committee further beg lea** to report, that they have examine the report of tho Chief of Police : ro receipts and disbursements for th month ol' February, in his office, an find tito same correct. The Committee beg leave furtln to report, that they have karnet from various sources, of great an growing demoralization among ot police force, causing groat inefl cieucy in the discharge of their duti on thc part of most of thom, ar rendering them unfit for the po; tions they occupy. The Committe therefore, recommend that ute who rpolice force be summoned before tl City Council at this mooting, so th the matter may be fully investigate and proper action taken by the Ci Council in thc matter. PkCspectfnllv submitted. D. P. MCDONALD, Chairman (. 'om mit tee. The Chief of Police charged ? sistant Policeman G. F. Cooper wi being intoxicated and with neglect duty.

We hope the I statement referred to by the Times, . is exaggerated, for ii immigration to J these States is discouraged, there will be a Tery grout scarcity of labor on oar farms and plantations: 1 j While thc Legislature of Virginia is discussing tho best method of fostering emigration to that State, there come statements of cruelties ! and neglect of German emigrants whose fate it is to have selected Louisiana and elsewhere South for their new home. lt is said that these Germans aro consigned to abandoned negro (?uar- ? ters, -wretchedly fed, and, though ; frequently dying ol' lever and other diseases, are left unprovided with medical attendance. At tho same: time, the money which is due them for work dunc is in many cases with held. The consequence is that Ger? man emigration is almost suspended, i and the variety of reports which have ' reached Germany on the subject are likely to prevent its resumption. Whether these statements ure ' wholly or partly true, they ure un? fortunate, and do not indicate .-i great amount of wisdom on the part of Southern employers of emigrant labor. That labor is one of tho means by which thc industrial re cuperation of the regions which have been desolated by war is to !>;? brought about. There is the strongest reason for encouraging and protect? ing a class of men who. bein.-; used . to work, ami of industrious habits, could be relied upon for activity in many departments of agriculture or of other manual labor, and who are intelligent and peaceable. Many of the planters fail to recog? nize how the war has changed the 1 relations of employer and employed; ? thay cannot forget the old rule and j its methods. And this, must have, of course, its ill effect upon the "whole' industry of the South. Thc state of | things would be ol' less consequence if the exodus of black labor from the j South could be followed by an im migration of white labor. This pro- I cess had indeed begun, and by the ! assistance ?d' German agencies was! likely to be successful. Now it is in ! a great measure stopped, however, as we have described. Southern Relief. We clip the following from the Baltimore Sun, of Saturday: Whin; passionate partisans in the House of Representatives at Wash? ington delayed the bill (which, how? ever, has now passed) appropriating 81,000,000 on the part ol' theGovern ment for the relief of the starving poor people of the South, the Legis lat ure of Maryland, in a most credit? able manner, responded to the cali of distress by passing a bill appropriat? ing $100,000, tobe immediately ap? plied, through a board of competent commissioners, iv. purchasing and sending forward food to these suffer? ers. The board < onsistsof the Governor of the State, the Presidents of the Board of Trade and the Corn and Flour Exchange, Lawrence Sang ston, Esq., and three others to be selected. These gentlemen, of course, have such practical knowledge of the duties which they undertake, the means of communication with the ports of the South as well as the in? terior, where the relief is chiefly need- i ed, that, with tin; kindly disposition j and energy characterizing them, the very best that can be done with the | means ai hand is sure of accomplish ment. They aro privileged under the Act j ol' the Legislature to receive and ap- | ply any other sums of money or I donations in any shape that may be j made them for the object in view, | and it would seem that any institu? tions or individuals who would desire j to aid in the good work, could dud no better agency through which to dis pense their bounty than ino commis-1 sion authorized under the Act of our j Legislature. - ! The following letter, received in ; ! tins city yesterday by the gentleman to whom it is addressed, explains it? self: PHITJADEi^rEiA, March 21, 1807. I John T. Ford, Esq.-DEAI: Sin: 1 ' herein enclose to your care the sum of live hundred dollars, tobe sent by the safest and most expeditious way in aiil of our suffering brethren in the South. I God himself only knows the full I extent of their present sn Herings; it is I enough for us to know they greatly need our assistance. Let us, then, at once do all we can to relieve their dire distress, not stop to question what is constitutional, "for charity itself fulfills the law." EDWIN FORREST. TU?- V. .."?-<> \-|>lr. Tn the solution of thc most impor? tant ami vital question of the present century, the public men of Virginia ' have not exhibited that sagacity and intelligence for which they were ouce most justly renowned. Indeed, sine" j thc famous resolutions of 179S-'99 i wort; lost somewhere in the vicinity of Appomattox Court House, in the month of April, 1SG5, our bewildered and unhappy politicians have moved and acted as it' controlled by somnam? bulistic influence. We have very | unwisely, not to say foolishly, as? sumed that tho emancipated and now enfranchised blacks would, tinder the malign influence of that very class of white men whom the negro, as a i slave, held in undisguised contempt, I array themselves against those whom it is to their interest fo propitiate. Forgetting all which centuries of slavery should have taught us of tho natur?', temperament and prejudices of thc blacks, we have for two years loft thc negro at the mercy of those who have impressed upon his plastic j and unthinking mind the belief that there were good grounds for violent j antagonism between capital and labor, ' .and that, while white gentlemen were his enemies, white rascals and vaga- ? bonds wen1 his only friends and de-1 fenders. When emancipation rup- ' lured thc old ties of master and slave, wc should have taken immediate steps to convince thc freedmen that their ?dd masters were si i ll their best and only friends. The poor black, who ? had been all Iiis Ufe a parasite, cling- ; iug to something stronger and moro' vigorous than himself, when turned] loose, ila/.eel and blinded by the no- . velty of bis nev? state, should have nt ', once been taught that the great laws regulating the relations of labor and, capital could not be abrogated by al proclamation of emancipation. Wo should at once have placed him upon ? his guard against those wolves in : she.p's clothing, who, thc moment i the protection of his master was re moved, pounced upon him like wreck ers upon a stranded vessel. j While we have lost much by failing | to act with tho promptness and wis- ! dom of men like Wade Hampton, yet ' the relations between the freedmen ? of Virgiuia and their employers have I been, since April, ls? 55, ?'or thc most' part so kind, that it is not yet too late : to deliver them from those false and malignant influences to which wc have ? so often alluded, lt is also a peen- | liarly fortunate circumstance that evil-disposed and degraded white men have, only in a few localities, sue- j cceded in prejudicing the freedmen against their natural friends and pro- ! tectors. Tu the agricultural districts, I there will be no difficulty in teaching ? them their true interests and linties. ! And here, in Richmond, and else- ! where, where the efforts to corrupt | and demoralize the blacks have been constant and persevering, a few efforts ' like that of Wade Hampton, in Co? lumbia, will efface the vile lessons of I renegade white men as easily as the j waves of the sea do characters writ- | ten upon its unstable sands. Since the noble and timely example I of Wade Hampton has attracted thc! attention of the whole nation, and ! called forth tito plaudits of all think- j iug men, even the New York Tribune | admits that such a policy will render j "lite .....;,.<> vole" harmless to tiie inte? rests of the Southern capitalists. I "No person," says Greeley, "was ever taught by the Tribune that the ( colored vote would (//.'.'ivs be at, the I command of itinerant political mis- ! sionaries from the Northern Slates.'" j Wade Hampton's triumph consisted j in his convincing the negroes not ; only that there was no antagonism ' between white capital and black i labor, but that the welfare of both \ races depended upon their electing to i ollie.the best and most hone-, nu n. they could. The idea was a simple and a plain ono, and found a ready lodgment in Cnffee'shead, ll is very j easy for us to teach the same golden j lesson to tiie blacks of this State, and j the sooner we do it, the better for lioth races.-Richmond Times.

Per ?ons who contract this unfortunate habit . f body, umler such circumstances, might possibly be relieved by changing their sedentary employments for others of a more active hind; but this is by no means certain. Habitual constipation Ls a very obstinate disorder. All the ordinary so railed remedies invariably aggravate it. Nothing can be more injurious than thc continued use of strong aperients. They at first irritate, and finally almost para? lyze the bowels-rendering them so torpid that enormous doses of cathartic medi? cines have no effect upon thuin. A mild aperient, combined with :i gentle stimu? lant, is thc true remedy; and a combina? tion, in the happiest proportion, of thoso ingredients, is found in HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. This famous sto? machic invigorates thc whole intestinal canal, while quietly removing from itscon volutions all impediments to a free passage through them. No mere purgative bas this double operation. No ordinary stimu? lant effects thc desired object. Cases of constipation, abandoned as hopeless by distinguished medical men, have been cured in a few weeks by the Pitters. To those who have tried all the medicine.? of the dispensary in vain, we say, try this ?rn sistible stimulant and aperient. There is no sntticier reason why constipation should be thc consequence of scdeutarv habits. HOSTETTER'S BITTERS, by sup? plying the vigor which would otherwise be derive.', from exercise, will in all cases en? able the system to perform its excretory (unctions regularly and lu althfully.
