Returns of the Congres? sional Districts are meagre, and iusuf fioient to indicate the resalts positively. The Republicans claim to have elected Pike in the Second Diatriot and Blair in the Third, and think Jone?, the Democratic oandidate in the First Dia? triot, is defeated; on tbe other band, the Democrats olaim to have elected Jonee in the First, Bell in theSeoond, and think the later returns may show the election of Kent in the Third Dis? trict.

In the First vongressiooai Distriot, tho elec? tion of Jones, Democrat, is conceded by both pstiek. Blair is elected over Kent, Democrat, in the Third Distriot, while the second is still in doubt, and confidently claimed by both parties. The Monitor, Republican newspaper, claims Pike and Blair, both Republi? cans, are eleoted to Congress; that the Republicans have a good working ma? jority in the House of Representatives, and that the Republicans have elected six of twelve Senators, with several Districts in doubt.

Report of Committee on Water Works was received as information. Alderman Purvis spoke at some length on the application of Col. S. A. Pearoe, Jr., for the use of the old wster works, (which reverted, by con? tract, to tbe oity in December last,) by the Columbia Water Power Company, upholding that tho said company had not fulfilled the contract with the oity iu any way, since it was made, and that the city would not be justified in complying. He hoped the Council would ansnimous!y vote sgainst it. In conclusion, ha offered the following preamble and resolution: Whereas, by tbe terms of the con i tract with the Columbia Water Power Company, the old city water works have reverted back to the city, and proper demand has been made upon the agent, Col. S. A. Pearoe, Jr., to turn over the same; and whereas the contractor has not complied, and shows no disposition to do so, but, on the contrary, is now.soliciting the use of the works, and. has been during the late freshet using the' old city water works, tbe new bsviug proved entirely inefficient, . v Be it resolved, That the Mayor be instructed to take possession, of and work tbe same for the sole benefit of the oity.

Alderman Purvis moved that the petition of Hagood A Trcutlen be re? ferred,to the Committee: on Ways and Means. I ?*??'?!.! ? Alderman Carroll moved that the report of his Honor the Mayor on City t Hall, Ao.r he adopted and published with the proceedings of Council, as i follows: Colombia. S. C, March 8. 1876. To the City Council?Gents : I have examined tbe report of the City j Architect on new City Hallt and re? port the following for yoar informa? tion: The amonut of contract to build the Oity Hall is ?86,500; and tbe cou traot says, flrst, the said Clurk Waring to oredit the oity of Columbia, upou tho acceptance and execution of tbe contract, with tbe sum of ?7,000. on account of mouey heretofore paid by the city to James M. Aileu, the former contractor, the said credit to be mado in part of the aforesaid sum of ?86,500. Below I give yoa the Architect's estimate of the amount.of work done and the amount of orders given, which I do not iaelode the ?7,000 mentioned i above: Amount of work done as per report of Architect, ?63,700; amooot of orders given by Arohitect, ?55.400; deduet ten per cent, as per contract, t5,540; value of work over orders, 2,760; deduot amonnt to be credited 1 to oity. ?7,000; amount over paid on work done, ?4,240. Mr. Clark Waring, the contractor, claims for extra work ?3*002; bat ss the Committee on City Hall, together with the contractor,-hae agreed to do away with a great deal of the work lopon the same., named in tha contract, such as the difference in coat oi brick and granite sills of the back windows, also between galvanised iron sod wooden ocroh^ f^r,tbe first ?t?ty and the finishing up of She corner base* ment, wbiohvin my -opioioov will be worth more ; than, the, .extra, work claimed. The architect baa given siooe the abovw estimate* orders to the amount of ?175, which has been paid iu part for clotting In the tower, which, is slowly progressing now and will be done some time. I would reeommend to Counoil that tho contractor he noti I fled to.bsts the tower enclosed at onoe. also the windows in lbs seoond and lbira ?or?- pmiu'.t oboe. ?nd in tbe event of bis not, complying With lbs flams within the ten days named in the contract, ?hat the Couucil hare the work down. The stores wars to have been finished before this tins, and the oity is losing by the delay. The cor? ner store is rented to Mr. George Sym mers, and he is anxious to got into the same at once; and to enable bim to get into it, the tower will have to be finished and the seoond and third store windows pnt in; also the cellar eteps and bars in cellar windows. Since making out the above report, I find, upon examination, with the Oity Trea surer, that the oootraotor has been paid over the orders giveu. All of which is respectfully submitted. JOHN ALEXANDER, Mayor. Oounoil adjourned. RIOHARD JONES, Oity Clerk. Radical curses, sajs the Nashville Banner, like chickens, have at last come boose to roost. Carpet-baggers have saddled the South with millions of debt end taxes, but now the people of the North, have an opportunity to know how it is themselves. The new revenue bill, levying $40,000.000 of additional taxation on the whole conn try, psesed the Senate Tuesday night, by a vote of thirty to twenty-nine. Among the thirty who assisted to fasten this enormous burden upon a people already depressed by financial misfortunes, we find no leas than nine Southern carpet-bag Senators, includ? ing such fellows us Clayton, Dorsey, Spencer aud West. Florida alone, which is not likely to pay $100 of this whole $40,000.000, furnished two af? firmative vote-, those of Oonover and Gilbert. Cast out these two carpet? baggers, and the bill would have failed. It is stated that in 1402* when the continent of America was discovered, the supply of gold aud silver in the old world had become nearly exhausted. Since that time,' the sums exported from tbist Western cOutinent amount to $3,200.000.000 in gold aud $6.300, 000.000 in silver. This is a total of $9,500,000,000?two-thirds of which was produced before the Spaniards were expelled from the Americas. From 1492 to 1874, the products of gold and silver in other countries than those upon the Western continent amounted to about $2,850,000,000?or about oue-third that in America. Two thirds of this gold has been made into ornamental and useful articles. The' United States are now the great gold and silver producing regions of the Western world. Colorado was admitted as a new State In the last hours of Congress, bat the bill admitting New Mexico was rejected. There was a majority vote for both, but the "two-thirds" rule which prevails on the last days of the session, was the cause of New Mexico being rejeoted, tbe bill forthat State not receiving tbe neeessary two thirds vote in the House, whilet tbe 1 Colorado bill did receive it. Colorado IB not to be admitted until 1876, how? ever, and bar-new Senators and mem? bers cannot take their seats nntil after >the Presidential election, in which the people of tbe new State will not parti? cipate. By the census of 1870, Colo? rado had a population of 89,864, whilst New Mexico had 91,874.

They are allowed a pension of $96 a year, and, old and feeble, and ragged and friendless, and with no earthly want to gratify, what more can they reasonably ask for? The difficulty these poverty stricken old soldiers find in being ashamed of themselves, is something remarkable. The MoCobhiok Taxttaoopau?The refraoting telescope, ordered some four years ago of Messrs. Clsrk At Sons, of Boston, by Mr. Leander J. McOor miok, of Ohiaago, of MoCormick reap? er fame, and which is designed as a present to Washington and Lee Uni? versity, Lexington, Va., is now nearly completed. It is to cost $38,000 in gold, and it is claimed will' bo the large t and most effective instrument of tbe kind ever constructed. The in? strument has an aperture of 26 inches, and tbo object glass weighs 180 pounds. A recently euaoted law of Illinois provides that for stealing . any snm under $15, the thief shall go to the County jail, and for steeling anything over that amount, he shall go to tbe State prison; but for stealing the exact sum of $15,' there is uo penalty named. It is said that since the enactment of this law, the only people in'the State who are not trying to steal an even snm of $15, are those who have already been imprisoned for having stolen either more ot lent than that amount. They do say that the secret of poor Pinchbeck's failure to obtain his seat in the United States Senate was the fact that he whs e marnod men, and that hin wile, a comely mulatto, was ambitions enough to aspire 1b the first rank of Washington society* Conse? quently, tbe vote of the Senators de? nying the olaimant bis oftca may be considered as the echo ef Mrs. Cau? dle's ourtaio leotare.
