A case in point has come to our knowledge in this city that should bring the blush of shame to the cheeks of every man who bus a soul above the “muck” of this world. It is this : A poor old white man, who has a regular city license as a fruit and candy ie tailer, has long had the use of a portion of the street beyond the curb stone, under » shade tree, where he endeavored to gain an honest living by selling his little wares. Within a day or two lie has been catechised as to how lie voted at the recent election ; and, although the questioner had no moral or legal right to put it, lie answered, like a brave and honest man, that he voted the Re publican ticket. The sequel is that, with the refilled spirit of modern Christianity, his trade lias been interrupted, and his stand occupied by two empty hog heads—sur mounted, we suppose, by two nondescripts called “Democratic niggers,” as guards of honor to the empty things, who enjoy their “well paid'’ labor amazingly. “0, the rarity Os this world's charity.” Ifatlier ltoinantlc. A poor woman in the Prussian province of Posen, being near her death, lately con fessed to her priest that about thirty years ago, having been delivered of a boy, she substituted her own child for the child ol a countess, in whose employ she was. Neither the nurse or the. countess became aware of the exchange, and thus it remained. Her own boy was educated as a cum lit, and lias married tire daughter of a very proud nobleman, while the real count, huv. ing grown up in poverty, wont out to service, married, and is now living not far from his princely estate ol Komoruk, with his own children. The woman said she could not die without confessing this sin. The priest applied at once to the authorities, and an investigation has commenced. Prince Alfred. Prince Alfred, whoso ailymptud assassi nation is announced from Australia, is Queen Victoria’s fouitli child. He was born in 1811, and is con u quently now about twenty four years of age. From his earliest years he has bu n regarded as tho most intelligent and sensible of the Royal family, and has been'far more popular with the English people than any other of the Queen’s children. He holds the rank of Duke of Edinburgh, and is a captain in the English Navy. lie lias travelled exten sively over the world. Inil, whilst he has been in the.Canadas, lie has not yet visited the United Stales. The Cable reports the Prince in a fair way to recover, and adds that he is to he sent home to England. -Etna limuiunce ttampany, HARTFORD, CONN., Ixi'oiii’onATtD, I8lf). Capita!., $5,000)000.

On motion of Mr. Conley, the Committee were authorized to contract for the building. Mr. Lynch, from the Special Committee on Work House, made the following report: AirgtaTA, May Ist, 1868. Hon. M'Vfor and Member! of the City Council of Auyuota. Gentlemen —Tho committee appointed to en quire as to tho possibility of immediately estab lishing a public Work House, would rcspectfrlly report that they have given tho subject careful consideration. They are satisfied that tho scr vices of poraons condemned to labor in this city under the present arrangement, is of very little benefit to tho city, and can scarooly be called a punishment to the prisoners. The system demands a thorough revision. In the presont embarrassed state of the city finances, tho only plan that appears feasible to the Committee is to endoavor to utilise this labor by preparing rock for tho purpose of McAdamizing our public streets. The ruck, we are all aware, can be had in almost inexhaustible quantities from land belonging to the city on the bank of the Canal. To accom plish the desired result, with the least outlay of money, is the question that has been seriously debated by your Committee. We recommend that a strong Stockade bo constructed on tho bank of the Canal within tho city limits, in which two ample open sheds be erected to protect the workmen from sun and rain. Boats will have to be provided and parties detailed to bring the material from the quarries to this en closure, where the prisoners can bo kept em ployed iu all kinds of weather, iu bre iking the rock into suitable pieces for use on tho public streets, to which it can be conveyed by the street carts at any time. Wo would recommend that the prisoners, upon being placed in tho working gang, be furnished with clothing of a peculiar texture and color, to be worn by them until their discharge, when thoir own clothing bo re turned to them. If it is decided by Council to carry out these suggestions, we recoimnond tho passage of an ordinance creating an officer of Council, to be known as Superintendent of the Working Gang, prescribing his duties and the discipline to be enforced. Said officer should bo chosen for his jfeuliarjihm* for the duties to bo performed, as the success or failure ol the mea sure will depend very much upon his capacity. Xfter a careful calculation, wo are satisfied the • mount required to establish this Work House, upon tho plan proposed, will not exceed $:5,j00 ; mi i the expense ol maintaining it will bo but little. i f any, greater than is required to police and superintend the present working gang, and (he re.-ults, we believe, will be much wore satis factory. Respectfully, OTTS G. LYNGII, CbuTn, T. N. PHI L POT, SAMUEL* LEVY. On motion ot Mr. Tweedy, tho report wn* adopted, uud the committee .authorized to pro coed with the work soon id practicable. The following Special Report from William Phillips, Engineer Augusta Water Works, was received, and ordered to be published : Ai gusta, Ga., Friday, ) May Ist, 1868. ] //on. Samuel Levy, Chairman Special Committer on Water Work, : Sir—ln tho statement of the condition of the City Treasury for the fiscal year ending 31st March, ISOS, published on the 15th of last month, it appears that the Augusta Water Works stands charge l for “Salary and Repairs, ’’ $5,191.94, and is credited with $1,503.00, re_ ceivcd as “Water Rent.” This, of course, is cor rect, according to the system of accounts at the City Treasury, but, in my humble opinion, is not a fair showing for the Works under your care. As the March expenses wore not paid until tho 25th of last month, they were not included in the statement. [ therefore beg leave to submit the f *ll«*;viug for eleven months of the fiscal .war : The item of Salaries is made up of those of the Chief and Assistant Engiueers, and a Watchman at the Basins. Incidental Expanses arc made up of fire wood, oil, tallow, cotton waste, clearing water wheel and gates, examina tion of fire plugs, '■to Tho Repairs consist uiainly of repairs on tiro plugs and the banks oj the Basins. As to tho item of Service Cocks, it is only necessary to remark that we supply a •ock to each water tenant, and have tho main tapped under our immeoiatc direction with a view of having the location of every tap ou re cord, so that, on tho refusal or neglect of a water tenant to pay, the water can be promptly shut off. The item of Extension coD?Hts entirely of now work, and takes in the line lately laid on Camming and D’Antignnc streets, and the ex tension on Campbell across Walker street., and ol course includes the five new tiro plugs.

The following communication was read by the Mayor: Gentlemen of the City Counci l —I feel it to be my imperative duty to call your attention, publicly, to the fact which as individuals you are doubtless cognizant of, that many of our citizens have boon deprived of the means of earning their live lihood and providing for thoir dependent fami lies, simply because, at the recent election, they voted a* thoir consciences approved, rather than in accord with tho dictation of their employers. It is a fact, not les* humiliating than true, that merely for exorcising the right of suffrage, scores of citizens have been thrown out of employment, and those dependent upon their daily labor de prived of the necessaries of life. I will not insult your intolligonce by an at tempted argumont condemnatory of this unjust and unprecedented proscription, incited by sedi tious newspaper appeals to tho baser passions of in**n. lam content with calling your attention to the fact, and asking for prompt aud suitable action in reference thereto. Apart from other •onsidorations, humanity calls upon you to aid these wcu who refused to sacrifice principle for bread. As tho employers who have thus acted are, with but few exceptions, among our largest tax payers, I suggest, gentlemen, that temporary rations be issuod to needy parties who may fur ni<di satisfactory evidence of having received such treatment, and that, if necessary, an addi tional tax bo levied for carrying out this humane design. Very respectfully, Foster Blodgett, Mayor City of Augusta. The communication was referred to a Special Committee of tbreo (Messrs. Conley, Lery and Tweedy), to report upon ns soon as practicable. Tho Mayor called tho attention of Council to the propriety of uniforming the Police; and on motion of Mr. Conley, the subject was referred to the Police Committee. The Mayor reported that he had appointed George M. Hood Captain of Police, which action was confirmed. REPORTS OF OFFICERS. W. If.

Logan opened, hut was called to order for usitig the word “villaiuous,” when he took it back. He was next called to order for saying that Brooks said what he (Brooks) knew to be untrue. Ihe Speaker ruled the expression parlia mentary. The date of the letter which had been denied in Court, <i few dnys ngo, was admitted in tho House. The speech was very hitter. Butler took the fiooc and accused Brooks of robbing his partners. Butler asked Brooks if, while Butler was fighting, Brooks, in this House, did not call Butler a good robber? _ B.ooks replied, “Yes, and I made you disgorge sixty thousand to a citizen of New York.” Crimination and recrimination followed, tvhen the Speaker called Brooks to order. Brooks did not know why the Speaker had not called Butler to order. Brooks did not know how he was to get satisfaction. He could not get it personally from a man like Butler, who had been whip ped at his home, in Massachusetts, by a bricklayer, lor insulting tho bricklayer’s wife. The resolution was tabled—7o to 26.
