Proceedings Of City Council.
SPECIAL MEETING.
COUNCIL CHAS1BER,
COLUMBIA, November 9, 1866.

Aldermen Fisher, Geiger, Hunt, Nc
Donald, Mckenzie, Radcliffe, Taylor,
Walter and Wearn.
His Honor the Mayor stated that
the Council had been called together
to consider the report OF the Com
mittee of Ways and Means in refer
ence to the communication referred
to them at last meeting, from VIM.
Johnston, President Of the Columbia
and Augusta Railroad, requesting q
transfer of S33, 800 of Charlotte and
South Carolina Railroad stock, now
owned by the city, to the Columbia
and Augusta Railroad Company.
The Committee submitted the fol-
lowing report:
TO the Hon. JIayo1. and aldermen of
the City Of Columbia.
GENTLEMEN: Your committee, to
whom was confided the consideration
Of the propriety OF transferring the
stock dividend belonging to the city
of Columbia, amounting to $33, 800,
to the Columbia and Augusta Rail
road, now under construction, have
had the subject under consideration,
and do report favorably, and advise
the subscription Of the whole amount
OF the abOve-named stock dividend
to the Columbia and Augusta Rail
way.
Some of the considerations which
have influenced the committee, we
will briefly state, viz: That the Co
lumbia and Augusta Railroad is one
OF eminent Importance to the pros
perity of our city, inasmuch as it
shortens the distance between Column
bia and Augusta nearly seventy miles,
and will, consequently, change much
Of the travel, that now passes by US,
through our city. That an imp6or-
tant commercial channel from Geor-
gia and the West will be opened to
our citizens. That the advantages to
the remaining stock held by the city
of Columbia i'll the Charlotte and
South Carolina Railroad, on the COM
pletion Of the Columbia and Augusta
Railroad, will fully equal the pro-
posed subscription, and give to Co
lumbfa an interest in Il road that the
city has previously pledged itself to
aid by much larger subscription.
That we believe the construction Of
the Columbia and Augusta Railroad
will induce the Wilmington and Man
chester Railroad to continue their
line direct to Columbia, and thus
open another channel of communi-
cation to the coast, and open direct
trade with rich agricultural coun-
try. And lastly, the commercial value
of the stock Of the Columbia and
Augusta Railroad, at this moment, is
very nearly equal to the value of the
Charlotte and South Carolina Rail
road. Many other considerations
have engaged the attention of your
committee, but we deem the fore
going ample to sustain our recon-
mendation. Respectfully submitted,

After this characteristic exhibition
of Buffers power of abuse and Bill
llngsgate, Mr.. Greeley came forward
to speak. SO soon as honess men
came out, the immense throng be-
came perfectly orderly, aud listened
to them with respect and, st times,
real appreciation. Mr. Greeley spoke
briefly and temperatcly, and was fol-
lowed by Governor Curtin and Hon.
Mahlon Chance, of Ohio There was
no interruption at all during the re-
marks of any except Buffers. There
was no opposition to the speeches of
the radicals, although, as Will be seen,
much opposition was manifest ut the
presence of Butler, which was so
odlous, and the reason for which is
sufficiently obvious in the villitication
and. profanity which he poured forth.

The whole civilized world seems to
be raging with the fever of radical
ism. The din and roar of the reform
movement in England almost browns
the clamors of the huge mass meet
ings in this country. Bismarck gives
universal suffrage to the Prussians,
and Bright bellows for manhood
suffrage" in England, as loudly as
Butler demands black-a-more suffrage
In this country. The suffrage
question:" which wrecked the late
ministry, is exciting the most pro-
found interest in every portion of
Great Britain, and Messrs. Bright
and Mill and their associates are
haranguing vast multitudes in all the
principal cities and towns of. Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland. In Scot
land the radicalism Of Mr.. Bright
was made particularly significant by
his references to the fact that half of
the lands of Scotland were owned by
some eight or ten families.

The Revolution in EnSlan;.--TI,c
New Tone OF the Press.

!SSr 1ohC SA the EEcSS.
The English press and politicians
feel very sensibly the revolution that
is working broadly among the masses
Of the people. They can almost see
the daily modification of thought in
the remotest district of the country
to which the enlightening arguments
of John Bright penetrate. and they
arc apparently making up their
minds to face such an extension of
suffrage as will make it next to uni
versal. 1t is not q great while since
there was q very considerable change
IN the way in which both the politi-
clans and the press of England re-
garded American affairs. For years,
we were held up to the English peo-
pie and the world as the Helot of ma
tlons and the reproach Of civilization.
Whenever an English writer wanted
to round off finely his TRADE against
democracy, he did it with horid re-
ference to the United States. We
were, in short, all that every people
should desire not TO be-ruled by a
mob, IN aconstant state of flawlessness,
revolution and anarchy But when
the war had ended, and the United
States had come through it safely
proving that there was q greater
power of endurance in our institu
tlons than in any other, as we'll as
the ability to marshal q force with
which no European nation could
cope-there was q great disposition
IN England to compliment u.s. Then
the foremost men Of the nation could
be heard in praise Of the American
system; and the whole press, with a
more or less earnest desire to seem
sincere, gave in its judgment in favor
OF the vital power of free institutions.
Now, however, the same press and
politicians, feeling the influence Of
the tendency in England to modify
the British constitution in favor Of
popular institutions, are beginning
to revive the old plan of holding up
the United States as an example Of
all that is bad in Government. The
Times leads the way, and others will
follow, in depicting the present bitter
political contest in its worst light,
and in pointing it out as q reason
why there should be an enlargement
of suffrage, and rs an argument in
favor of the aristocratic system. Tt
is to be hoped, now that the canvass
is pretty well over, that the violent
men Of both parties OF this side the
water, seeing what an argument they
are thus furnishing to the enemies of
republicanism, may modify the bit
terness of their partisanship, and
adopt tone more credible to them
selves and to the country in their fu-
ture reference to each other. May
we not hope, also, that when Con-
gress re-assembles, Mr.. Speaker Col
lax will fulfil the duties of lis Office
with a spice of that large minded
dignity by which such Speakers as
Mr. Clay in former times, kept the
tone OF cussion and debate respect
ful and ;ent, and so altogether
prevente ,olitical contests from de-
scendlna the level of mere brawls.

WAR STATISTICS,

LOSS OF LIFE IN THE REGULAR AND

tFron Our Own Correspondent1
WAsuIEaroy, April 20.
Some days eince I sent you statistical
statemcnt, showing the total casualties, from
the beginning to the close ofthc war, In every
organization, tegimeutal and otherwise, raised
in ulirois, for which I was indebted to the
Provost Marshal Generals Department. From
the samc source have obtained still more
Interesting and comprehensive data In regard
TO the loss Of life by the loyal forces during
the rebellion. They consist Of no less than
complete exhibit of the total casualties In the
troops from every State and Territory that
contributed men to the loyal armies, as well
as separate exhibits showing The aggregate
losses respectively In the different arms of the
service, md in the volunteer. regular and col
o1cd troops. The compilation was madc by
special direction Of Provost Marshal General
James B. Fry, to whose zeal in the collection
ofwar statistics the historians Of the great
pro-slavery insurrcction will owe the most
valuable information. I shall endcavor to
demonstrate the great historical md scientific
value Of the following tables, by drawing from
them in detail the deductions naturally sug-
gested BY the logic Of tho figures comprised
therein.
The following table shows tho total casu-

a SUCT1IERn WEN OF REBEL
MONEY.

An interesting decision was rendered recent
'yby Judge Clarion, Of Mississippi in case
touching the validity of a payment made In
rebel Treasury notes. The defendant, by his
counsel, claimed that the act Of secession was
nriolation ot tho Constitution Of the United
States, and that consequently no Government
Nas created which could perform any bind
Ing act. The Issuing Of Treasury notes, there
lore, was uullity, aud was not such con-
sideration as would make contract between
sindiyiduals legal. The Court held in Its de-
cision that tho Constitution and 1.ws Of tle
Uuited states were not in force, and that the
citizen owing partial allegiance, at least, TO
10th Governments, could not commit the
ct inc Of treason when his action was con-
trollcd ly State authority Again, the Court
held that the late war could not be considered
us mere rebellion, but a genuine war be-
tween belligesent powers, and that iniiridu-
lis engaged In It were not personally respon-
sible for acts committed in obedience to the
authority OF their respective Governments.
The Court held, further, that as the States
continued NIL the power and functions Of GOV
crnmeut which they possessed before the war,
and created a dr. Jaeto Government With bel
1igesent power, the two combined possessed
authority 10 make valid the contracts of c'ti-
zcus.
The Court then proceeded to consider the
powers ofthc rebel Government during its de
tacto existence, aud argued that, as war
measure, It possessed the power Of Issuing
Treasury notes; lint the Federal Govelu-
ment had recognized the validity of purchases
made with these notes, by seizfng cotton and
other properly ct the rebel States, The title to
which was acquired BY the rebel Government
through purchases made With these Treasury
notes. From these considerations the con.
c1usion was drawn that contrasts, of wh1cl,
the consideration was the payment Of rebel
money during the de .jaeto existence Of The
rc5cl Government, are valid and oblis a.ory,
