When the President, Or. ]. W BARNETT,
sook the chair, he addressed the Club, IS
near as We can rscollect, as fellows
Gentlemen, The committee appointed on
last Monday evening, 10 choose suitable per-
sons ap officers for this Club, have unexpec-
iedly selected me as its President, and l
reluctantly enter Up the duties Of the Chair;
conscious that unless shall receive the sup.
portland charitable consideration Of the MEM
bers, shall disappoiht the expectations 81
these who have honored BY promoting
me 10 the highest Office within the gifl Of
the Club.
In the discharge, gentlemen, Of the duties
which parliamentary usage imposes on the
Chair, it will become my duty TO prevent any
violation either Of the Constitution and By
Laws Of this Club, or the rules which have
been adopted by ell deliberative bodies. Thui
il will often become necessary for me e inter
pose my official authority. when the Obiec
Of any member is only 70 be obtained b.
avoiding the restrictions imposed by III,
laws Of this Association, or violation Of thu
usual interpretations Of strict parliamentary
laws. In the interpOsilOn Of my official au
thority, although / shall avoid as far as pos
sble consistently with faithful discharge
Of my obligations to this Club) wSundine
the feelings of any member, yet, it will be
necessary, and avail myself Of this early
opportunity to aPPrise you, that shall in nc
instance shrink from this necessary but un.
pleasant duty. The objects Of the Club hav.
ing been so fully explained at the meeting
on Monday last, it will consequently be un.
necessary for me to add to the remarks then
made.
In conclusion, gentlemen, allow me 10 re-
turn you my kiadest regards for the unmer.
ritsd and unsolicited honor conferred on me.
And pledge myself to use every Offor. in
my power to advance the Wing cause-tc
promote The best interests Of the YAzoC
CITE CLAY CLUB, and last Though not least
the election Of that distinguished Statesman
Of The WeH to the highest Office within the
gift of the American People.

Since the fine weather set in, We have
had quite a brisk business driving in every
department. Of trade. Our town presents
quite lively appearance, our streets being
all the time completely blocked up with
wagons laden with cotton, which, was gen.
orally disposed Of at very fair prices. Our
merchants, both Dry-GOod and Produces, have
large aud extensive stocks which they
dispose Of at prices as low as can be desir-
Cd By purchasers.

Board Of POIice-Physicians- Overseers
Of the Poor.

Board Of POlice-Physicians- OveTseeTs
Of the Poor.
A gentleman handed US, few days since,
the following resolution which was passed
at the April Term, 1s4I, of eur Board Of
Police:
"ResoEved, That hereafter this Board will
not deem themselves authorized to allow any
account presented for medical attendance
upon any person IN any case epAateTeT, willis
out such person shall hf at the time Trseog-
missed under the cor OF this Board as
pauPer.'' O
The above resolution would, perhaps, have
been well enough, had the Board Of Police
done it's duty in appointing Overseers Of
the peer, in each Beat. That. however,
has not been dene; no Poor House has been
erected, no Overseers have been appointed,
and SO far as we know, but little attention
has been paid to the necessities Of the poor.
The poor man or PauPer might die for want
of Medical aid before the Board Of Police
could DO collected together, TO SAP whether
he was a suitable subject for their christian
benoVolence or net. Individually, we be-
Iieve, that the members of the Beard would
contribute literally to all the sick and tbs
afflicted, but we believe that they have very
incsnsideratslv and unWissIy placed bur.
sen upon physicians which Should, and We
feel well assured would be, chserfully shar.
ed by avery tax paying citizen Of our cOun'
Ivy. We are opposed to al and every kind
Of sxnavagance in the administration Of oui
county or state affairs, and wsare also equal
" opposed 10 having all iHsOlOenI persons
denominatsd paupers. bat we believe ii
justice.
We shall At some future period give Oul
views mere fully upon what we deem th'
duties Of the Beard of Police to be, we have
only briefly called attention to a most singu
lar resolution Of the Board Of Police Of Oul
county.

cumstances will permit them TO pursue that

transactions have been chiefly confined 20 small

had the advantage as to prices, though not 20 IA
extent that would justify us 10 making any change
IN the rates before quoted. The sales Of We'd
nesday amounted 10 only 1900 bales, on Thursday
TO 250O and yesterday TO 2500-in all 6,2OO bales.
