Adjourned Meeting, [ December 28, 3 o’clock, P. M. ) Present—Hon. Benj. Conely, Mayor. Members—Messrs. Blodget, Clarke, Smith, Dye, Keener, Hall, Tutt, and Rigby. The reading of the minutes was dis pensed with. Mr. Blodget, Chairman of the Finance Committee, submitted the following re port : The Committee on Finance beg leave to report, that they have carefully ex amined the financial condition of the city government, and have the gratifi cation to state that it will compare most favorably witli that of any previ ous year. During the past fiscal year, not a dollar has been borrowed by the City Council, nor have any bonds been sold for the payment of liabilities pre viously incurred. Looking to the fact, that with the increase of population and the rapid extension of the city, comes additional expenditures, for some years far above the amounts received from, he taxation of the newly improv ed localities, we deem it a subject for congratulation that our finances have been so judiciously managed. To guard carefully the avenues from the public treasury, to restrain the hand which lacks hut little encouragement to lie lavish in expenditure, to foster every branch of honorable industry, and at the same time control the rash ness whicli would run into extremes, are qualifications which do not always ac-, company efficial position. The hand of: improvement is in continual requisition in one section or another, and to de monstrate the expediency of a disburse . ment of the public revenue, a substan tial public good must follow. Your 1 committee are fully satisfied, from the faithful examination of matters confi ded to them, in this, the most impor tant branch of their official dnty, that the finances of our city are in a healthy condition. Your committee recom mend that the same rate of taxation be adopted for the ensuing year as was provided for the year just passed. They are of the opinion that, with proper economy, the amount of revenue thus derived will besuffiicient for the pur poses of the city government; knowing, ijf up circumstances which arise at this time to demand extraordinary supplies, they would not feel justified in recom mending the slightest additional in crease in the rate of taxation. Your committee respectfully, but most earnestly recommend to the City Council, that hereafter the appoint ment of the Captains of the Watch and tue City Watchmen be given to the Mayor. There cau be no question that this policy is dictated by the soundest policy. Under the method propesed, the Mayor of the city, as the head of the police department, would have these officers under his direct, personal super vision. The punishment of violators of official duty would be summary and certain, thus deterring others from the commission (if like offences. Many in fractions of police discipline, which are now not deemed of sufficient impor tance to be brought before the Council would ho punished, and the entire force would thus be rendered more efficient 1 : for the preservation of the peace and 1 good order .of the city. The Mayor, being in constant communication with this force, Would, in the opinion of your , committee, be much better qualified to | judge of tin capacity and reliability of jthe person* composing it, than could 1 the members of Council, who, it is not ; to be exported, can personally superin tend the execution of the duty the 1 Watch are selected to perform. Your committee also recommend the 1 followingsalaries for the ensuing year, i viz : ' Mayor, SI,OOO 00 1 i Collecter and Treasurer, 1,200 00 i Clerk of Council, 800 00 j , City Marshal, 1,000 00, Deputy City Marshal, . 750 00 City Constables (three) each, 700 00 1 Superintendent of Streets and Drains, 800 00 Supt’.ot Water Works, 800 00 Keeper of Lower Bridge, 000 00 Wharfinger, ten per cent, on collections, Clerk of Lower Market, 700 00 Clerk of Upper Market, 50 00 ’ Jailor, 800 00 Superintendent of City En gines, 1,200 00 City Lamplighter, 1,200 00 Keeper of Magazine, 400 00 City Hall, 300 00 ■of City Cemetery 000 00 Fees, igr# ';®> r « n <l Measure of Wi od Fees, ■rveyor, Fees. ■ of Hospital, 37 1-2 cts.

BjBPB -lrman stated that though Mr. Smith had signed the report, he dis sented from that portion of it relative to the appointment of Captaius of the City Watch and City Watchmen by the Mayor. Mr. Smith stated that he was in favor ■if the Mayor appointing those officers with the-fecommendation and consent Of-die City Marshal. ■Mr Tutt moved that, the salary of As Lamplighter be increased three hun ■j dollars—the motion prevailed. moved that the salary of the ■arshul bo increased one hundred that an increase of fifty [ cm the salaries of the' l Ml I II II i Deputy Marshal and City Constables— the motion was not carried. The report was read and adopted. Mr. Blodget introduced tire following Ordinance,which,after its third reading, i passed : AN ORDINANCE To alter mid amend the the one hundred; and nineteenth section of the General Ordinance. Sec. 1. lie it. ordained by the City Conn eil of Avgusta, That so much of the one hundred and nineteenth section of the General Ordinance as provides for the! election, by the City Council of Augus-. ta, at the annual election on the second Saturday in January, of twenty or more watchmen, he and the same are hereby repealed ; and that it shall he the duty of the Mayor, on the second Saturday j in January next, and on the second Saturday in January annually thereat-! ter, to appoint four captains of the city j watch, and twenty, or more, good and efficient watchmen, whose duty it shall be to serve on the city watch, by day or night. Before entering upon the duties; of his office, each shall take and sub-j scribe the oath now provided in the said one hundred and nineteenth section. Sec. 2. The said Captains of the watch and watchmen, so appointed, shall be under the control and direction of the Mayor, who shall have power to dismiss,'fine or suspend, at any time, any Captain of the watch, or watchmen, for cause. Sec. 3. Ail Ordinances, or parts of Ordinances, militating against this Or dinance, be and the same are hereby repealed. W. Miio Olin, Esq., appeared before the City Council and made a statement, complimentary to Mr. Lunday. Town Marshal of Hamburg, S. C., for his ef ficiency in arresting a fugitive from jus tice, Charles J. Sharpe, who escaped from this city aud fled to Hamburg, af ter commiting, it is said, an atrocious offense in the upper part of the city. Mr. Hall moved that Council appro priate twenty-five dollais as a donation to Mr. Lunday for his officerlike con duct, and that the Clerk of Council | notify him of the same. The motion prevailed. Mr. Blodget also offered the following j resolution, which unanimously passed: Resolved, That the thanks of this body 1 j are hereby tendered to Mr. James Lun | day, the Marshal of Hamburg, S. C., j for his promptness in arresting and de livering to our authorities, a person by the name of Charles J. Sharpe, who had been guilty of a violation of law, and 1 that twenty-five dollars be donated to J him for that service. On motion, Council adjourned.
