Tho following report of the Commit? tee on Alms Houbo gras presented, and received as in formation: To the Mayor and Aldermen of the city of Columbia?Gentlemen: The Commit? tee on Alms House and Hospital brg leave to report that we have visited the Alma Honae, and find therein nineteen inmates, one steward, one stewardess and one cook. We find the condition of the institution not as good as might bo; for instance, we find the bedding very scanty; eo much so, that the in? mates are really not comfortablo. Tho buildings have Bomewhat an unbecom? ing appearance, from a want of white? wash, both inside and outside; whioti, iu our opinion, if done, woutd add not only to ttio appearance, but to tho health of the institution. The fencing around tho institution is in a rotten and bad condition, a great many of the posts be? ing decayed and broken off, and tho gales in a broken condition. Wo hod, also, upon tho grounds the new Alms Uouh9 and Hospital building, partly constructed. The said building is ut present in a condilion to be very mate? rially damaged by tho weather, there being no roof upon the same. We would, therefore, recommend that the Council take some steps to have tbe building covered, so as to protcot it. We further report that we have visited tho Hospital, and find therein twenty patients, some of which are apparently iu a very bad state, while others, (seem? ingly, there is very little tho matter with. We find tbe building in a very uncomfortable condition, tbe mattresses having very little straw in them, and sheets and blankets very scarce. We thick, therefore, that something should be done iu that direction, in order to relieve the necessity of tho poor und unfortunate wbo fall within the bounds of those institutions. All of which we respectfully submit. S. D. SWYGERT, Chairman.

CoLUiiniA, April 28, 1874. To Mayor Alexander and Council of the city of Columbia?Gentlemen: Uaviug contemplated and carried into execution a business direotory for tho city of Co? lumbia, 1 have found that there is u general desire amongst the merchants for a complete city directory, giving the names of all tho voters or heads of fami? lies, and name of street and number of house, tho names to be arranged iu alphabetical order. They also desire to know tbe entire population, with a divi? sion of race, marked "W" aud "C," so as to know tbe standard of the city. Now, gentlemen, I have a great deal of experience io this line of business, and I will make a thorough canvass, take tho names of all voters aud bends of families, the outire number of residents in each bouse, also classify them, all be? tween the ages of five and twenty-one. I will attend and canvass in person tho outire city, if Council will authorize tho same for a consideration merely suffi? cient to bear tbe net expense. I will then have it printed iu combination with the business directory, iu which I will give the officials of city, Connty and State, looatu the public buildings, all th 5 fire departments, police force, rail? road depots, churches of all denomina? tions, etc. I would respectfully suggest that Council fix tho amount in bulk or by per cent., allowing so much for the work, to be paid only when the work is completed.
