The adjournment sins die of the recon? structed Louisiana Legislature is some? what of a^relief in official circles. There can scarcely be any attempt now to dis? turb the provisions of the compromise, and the Administration here will not feel itself under the necessity, as for nearly three yean past, of continually interfer? ing in Louisiana affairs. The Louisiana Conservatives have now no doubt that at the next general election the majority of the people will got tho control of tho whole State Government There, of ' -course, eon also be no doubt that the House of Representatives will in Decem? ber seat the Democratic members of that body fraudulently counted out by the Wells Returning Board. The successor of Attorney-General Williams will not have to supervise Louisiana nor run a ?'Southern outrage" mill.

A Mother's Care.?She will not allow her girls to skate, beeauso Sir John Frank? lin was lost among icebergs; nor ride, because fox hunters sometimes get their necks broken; nor to row, because young men injure themselves by those dreadful boat races. They may not have a pet dog in case it should go mad, nor any aconite or monkshood in their gardens for fear they should poison themselves. The timid mother forbids her daughters to visit among the poor, for fear they might take small-pox, and will not allow ope of them to go alone outside of the avenue gate from fear of garroters. The description which she gives of the neigh? boring fields is appalling. Sho repre? sents them to bo tho lairs of mad bulls, savage tramps, venomous snakes and wild horses. Her girls cannot propo?o either work or play which she does not prove to be compassed with dangers hor? rible and hitherto unthought of. In their childish days they were not allowed a rocking horse for fenr it should over? balance; nor a swing, in case the rope might break; nor a pocket-knife, lest they should cut their fingers. She is always tying comforters around her children's throat and applping flannel to mysterious places where it will not stay. She revels in chest protectors, respira? tors, and her room is adorned with stick? ing plastur and gallipots. She is always intent on proving that every one either has a cold or is taking one, and she may bo seen at night in a tlunnel dressing gown going from room to room with a gruel, pills, mustard leaves and India rubber hot bottles. She is constantly discovering obscure signs of some deadly disease in her children. She takes it for granted that her daughters have weak spines, so their beds are destitute of pillows, and there is a reclining board in every room. When she takes her girls to a pio-nic sho will not allow them to sit on the grass, nor in the sun, nor undor a tree, nor on a rock. They must return with her before the dew begins to rise, and are never allowed to look at the moon except through a window. Fatal Effects of Giuef and Shame. ? Mr. Tyler Curtis, at ono time a promi? nent citizen of San Francisco, Cat., and an early settler thero, died ut Barnuui's Hotel, in New York, on Friday morning. He was tho husband of Annie Josephine Curtis, who died a few weeks since from the effects of malpractice. Mr. Curtis had previously been married to a woman of considerable means, by whom he had three children, two of whom were living in New York. On tho day of Mrs. Cur? tis' death, the husband, who was in San Francisco, was informed of the sad ovent. He hurriedly telegraphed to have tho body placed in a receiving vault until his arrival. While packing nn his effects, preparatory to leaving Son Francisco, he got an evening newspaper, in whioh he road with grieved amazement tho story of his wife s shame. Dazed and heart? broken, he took tho train for New York, where ho arrived on April 8. The sud? den shock to his feelings was too much for him to bear, and lie sank rapidly, dying on Friday last from grief anil pros? tration under tho blow which ho had re? ceived. An appeal was made in a Broadway church last Sunday for nine orphans, tho youngest of whom is seventy-five' years old. The working girls of Baltimore are said to number over 9,000. !

Present-^?is Honor the Mayor John Alexander; Al? dermen Cooper, Duv in, Carroll, Can, | ThomaH, Wells, Purvis, Pugh and Brown. Petition from G. A. Shields referred .to Committee on City Hall. Petition from C* J. Carroll referred to Committee on Ways and Menus and ordered to he published: Colombia, April 27, 1875. T? Jlis Honor the Mayor and Aldermen City of Columbia?Gentlemen: In behalf of the cause of education, and especially the poor children of our city, do I make this appeal. I am gratified to say that tho schools within the city limits, as well as those in other parts of the County, are in a flourishing condition. Over 7<X> children are now attending the free com? mon schools within the city, and the at? tendance increasing every day. I am sorry to say that, with the means at my command, I shall not be able to keep th" schools open for more than ono month longer, the appropriation for our County having been reduced some $2,300 below that of 1874. It would seem a great mis? fortune to have these, schools closed so early and this large body of children turned loose in our city, to be exposed to all kinds of wicked influences. I know, gentlemen, that the city is embar? rassed at present for means to carry on the city government; but believing that this is a matter of great importance to our city government, and that you will make some extraordinary effort in this direction, do I make this appeal, that the small sum of $055 be appropriated, so that the schools within the city limits may bo kept open until 30th June, and your petitioner wilt over pray, C. J. CARROLL, School Commissioner of Uichland. Alderman Cooper, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported unfavora? bly on the petition of M. E. Curr. Alderman Pugh moved that the Mayor and Citv Treasurer he authorized to give M. E. Carr notes at one per cent per month, with collateral, in city money at par, said collateral so placed that it can? not be used in any manner before the 1st day of March, 1870, and tho notes given to be renewed from time to time until that date. Carried. Bills from sundry parties wen; re? ferred to Committee on Accounts. Alderman Carroll, from Committee on Accounts, reported back tho following, and recommended payment: Bell Tower, Cooper A Taylor, $1.80; City Park, John Alexander, $1.00; Columbia Gas Light Company, $273.4U; contingent, J. S. G. Mayrant, $18.00; W. J. Duffle, $2.10; streets, John Alexander, $15.92; C. Logan, $40.00; Market, Cooper A Taylor, $1.50; new Citv Hall, John Alexander, $8(1.00. Alderman Carroll moved that the Com? mittee on Market be instructed to en? force Section 5 of ordinance relating to market. Carried. Alderman Simons, from Committee on Guard House, reported back report of Chief of Police as correct Ovtice Cuiek w Police, Columbia, S. C, April 1, 1&75. To the Honorable the Mayor and Atder mm of the City of Columbia?Gentlemen: I beg leave to submit the following re? port for the month ending 31st March, 1875: Total number of arrests made during tho month of March for all grades of crimes and offences committed within the city limits, were 148; of which 118 were males and 30 females, 25 whites and 123 colored. The following statement shows the grade of all crimes and offences commit? ted within the city limits: Drunk 24; va? grancies 4; resisting officers 0; disorderly 27; violating ordinances 23; burglary 1; creating disturbance 28; nuisance 3; as? sault and battery 1; suspicious charac? ters 12; disorderly houses 3; petit lar? ceny 14: gambling 1; swindling 1. The following disposition was made of persons arroBted during the past month, ending 31st March, 1875: 11 served their time at work, of which they worked 58 days; ?5 were turned over to Trial Jus? tices; 7 wore turned over to their parents for correction; and 63 were discharged by his Honor the Mayor. The following statement shows the amount of fines collected by the Police Department for the mouth ending 31st Mandl, 1H7?: Total amount collected $91.51; total amount assessed $209.50; to? tal amount balls $20; total amount un? claimed property $53. In conclusion, 1 will say that there have been three dismissals from the force since my lost report. I would respect? fully call the attention of your honorable body to the insufficiency of the force there being a grout many complaints from certain sections of the city not being pa? trolled. There is a continual demand for patrolmen for special purposes, from churches and other sources. Many times I am unable to comply with their re? quest, and would impress upon your honorable body the necessity of increas? ing the force to 20 men. I found it ne? cessary to retain the sergeants at the Station House during their respective terms of duty, to act as officers of the day, in order to facilitate business of the Police Department, and for tho better protection of prisoners and property. Thero being numerous complaints about house-keepers, I have detailed as rounds? men Patrolmen Lomax and Goodwin, in chargo of their respective reliefs. The health of the force has bepn good during the past month, and, with a few excep? tions, regular in attendance. I would state that the forco have been very effi? cient, and that they have given me every assistance in breaking up three of the most bold and daring bands of thieves that has infested our community for tho last two years. I would call your attention to the pre? sent condition of the force, and would ask that somo steps be taken whereby they-can prooure their summer uniforms. I would also call your attention to the steoplemen and their irregularities in striking the bell, giving unnecessary alarms, thereby causing a great annoy? ance to the police force and fire depart? ment. I would recommend that they be placed subject to tho orders of some city officers. There were throe fires during the past month, caused by accidents, t Five persons applied far lodgings and were cared for. I respectfully submit a copy of tho rules und regulations governing the Btee plemen of the city of Charleston. I have obedient servant. TM. F. NIXGN, p. \ .< Chief of Police.
