The following copy of the minutes and the
resolution adopted by the common council
Of Savannah, as taken from the minutes, was
received this morning, by house in tins ci-
w. irom one of The members Of this board
In Council, 28th Feb. 1920.
The mayor laid before the board letter
from the mayor of New-York, inclOslng the
sum Of AS the amount of contributions
Of the citizens of that city, for the sufferers
by the late FIRE, aud also stating that certain
goods were shipped for the use OF the poor
asd this charity appearing to be subject 10
conditions in the mode, and manner, and dis
lributions, not annexed to any similar dona-
ton. and casting suspicion on the views
and objects Of those appointed 20 distribute
the charity fund il is, therefore,
Resolved, That the mayor do thank the
mayor of Newly ork for his petite letter, and
that he return the money now received, and
the goods, when rendered to him; this boarc
feeling il duty they owe to this city to de-
cline the acceptance OF this money or goods.
This is the resolution of the New FORK
committee which offended the Savannah
council:
'R.soEvsd That is is the wish of the gene
raj committee, that the money and goods to
be RENTED to Savannah, be applied exclu-
sively TO the relief of all INDECENT persons,
without distinction of color, who are depeh-
dent upon their own industrytor support, and
who have been sufferers 10y the late fire at
that place.
a Remark.-ln the first place, the condi-
ton. as il is called, but it was only recon-
mendatiou, was merely nugatory, for ii could
hardly take effect, there being scarcely such
a thing as free black man in Savannah, and
to such only could it be meant TO apply
This being the case, I2 900 dollars is refused
on stately punctilio. Probably our legisla-
sure will not think il Unnecessary to go any iur-
Their with their 10, 600 dollar bill. We are
really rejoiced that the distress ocCasioned
Sy the FIRE cannot have been SO great as was
imagined. What now shall be done with the
money How much do we wish it could be
appropriated to the House OF Industry.
Post.
Was not the design of the New York com
mittee according to the letter OF the resolu-
ton, that is, that they wished the money to
be applied to the relief of the suffering poor,
rather than To make up, in some part, the
losses of those who were wealthy, and are
still in comfortable circumstances
If the New-York committee were indeli-
cate in annexing condition to their charity,
(for il is virtual condition. il appears to US
that the Savannah council took an unwar-
rantable, as well as uncalled for step for the
donation belong by gilt, to tina, class of per-
sons who are described 5y the resolution

which preceded his departure, & his abb

with him, of which he had a large number /;
among them-a new bearskin ever-coat,
a long close, bodied blue coat, a pair Of stri-
ped Jean pan,aloons, one or more white
waistooats, besides many articles of coarse

wishes to sell low for cash, and as further
inducements to purchasers he offers to cut

money business has over one where long
credit is given. thinks that a distinction
oughtto be made in the prices in each case:
and as the price Of provisions are low at

IRE
Declaration of independence.

TXTE have no Authentic copy Of this most
Wv important state paper, the very basis
that supports the proud column of American
liberty none, at least, on which the eyed
taste can rest, for a moment, with satlslac-
ton. Why have we not ?
The English %natien, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every proyi-
sion it contains has been trampied upon by
the bold ambition of their rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this fine copy of Magma
! Charta has been exceiled ny later specimens
| of art. and The fac-similes of the seals and
| signatures have made every reader Of taste
| in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
| gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art at the period in question, but with
| the literary attainments, also, OF Kline John,
King Henry, and their barons bold"
Surely the Declaration OF American lnde-
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations OF art as the Magma Charta of
England /; and il the fac-similes of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
! published in America, it would serve 70 gra-
| tify a curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls for limitations of the correspon-
| dents of Junius or of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles OF our Declaration of indepen.
dence are spread out before the eyes o. the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as well as our own and eye-
ry innocent and honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause of public i.
berry. Such an embellished edition as will
renderi it an ornament to an apartment, will
have a tendency to spread the knowledge OF
its contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but Lightly
towards the subject. Such an edition will
serve to place ii continually under the eye
of man. woman, and ciiild in a fanlily--it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history OF the
transaction itseli-and famiIiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, Tie
very bond and cement ofpoIitical society,"
Nor is it of small moment that such an edl-
ton, well executed, will serve as a specimen
of the state of The Fine Arts amongst us at
the present day. Actuated by these views,
