| CHARLESTON BOARD OF TnADE.-At the regular
monthly meeting last night, Mr. Hastie, Chairman
of the Executive Committee, presented the fol-
lowing reports, all Of which were adopted
l. That the President Of the Board Of Trade be
requested to call the attention Of the Light House
Board, through the Collector OF the Port, to the
deficiency of lights in Charleston Harbor
g. That, whereas, the parties residing in this
and the neighboring Southern States are indebted
to members of this Board in the large sum OF
81, 500 900, principal and interest, by actual COM
putation for debts due before the war, and believ
ing that our present stringent law in holding resi-
dents OF the neighboring States to bail has de-
tered many persons who would have visited US
with view to compromise, from making any at
.empt to advise personally with their creditors
therefore,
| RpSoired, That Committee be named by the
the President to draft petition to General Candy
to suspend all bail wrts for debts contracted pre-
vious to the 9th of April, 1865.
The following is the Committee: ". s. Hastie
q. Cobia, E. Bates, D. F. Fleming, ". G. Will
| den and E. W. Marshall.
| g. That in consideration of the present depress-
ed condition of the cotton interests of the South,
the President of the Board 0f Trade be requested
| to appoint committee to draft memorial to
Congress, asking bounty of one cent per pound
on all raw cotton exported from the United States
after -- date, until the whole amount OF tax
heretofore levied upon cottca shall have been re-
turned; provided, that no bounty shall be given
after the crop shall have reached three and half
million Of bales
4. The comparative small amounts Of capital
which have reached US have been loaded with such
heavy rates OF interest as to destroy all hope OF
aga,n making the South great agricultural coun-
try.
| The culture CT cotton is matter which interests
the people of tho whole United States; it is pow
erfu agent in adjusting the balance OF trado with
Europe and the world &. large.
The first great point Of deficiency is capital az
air rate Of interest. This point attained, labor
will bo easily commanded. Your Committee
wou' d recommend that our peculiar condition be
brought to the attention Of Congress by Com
mite from this Board, and that said Committee
be authorized to ask Congress for loan Of a por-
ton of the money collected as tax on cotton in
the shape OF national banks, to established at
such points and under such direction as the wisdom
of Congress may direct.
The following gentlemen were appointed as
Committee under the third and fourth reports: W.
| S. HASTE, E. Willis, G. W. Clarke, L. D. Mowry
and ". c. Courtenay.

bic and resolutions prefaced by few appropriate
