wIHE EACTING MAYOR AND ASSISTANT
TREASURER OF THE UNITED STATES AIDING
TO MAKE APPROPRIATIONS FROM THE olTY
TREASURY IN VIOLATION OF Law.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
The Act Of the Legislature of December IS, 1850.
in reference to the Municipal Government Of Charles
ton, provides as follows:
"SEc. The Mayor, and not less than twelve Al
dermen, shall be quorum for the imposi don Of
taxes and the appropriation of money"
commend the above to Mr.. G. ". CLARK,
Acting Mayor. and Mr.. ]. D. GEDDINGS, Acting AL.
derman as they seek to excuse their lawless efforts
to keep the Republican Mayor and Aldermen elect
out of Office, by affecting sensitive "regard for
law" These gentlemen have recently aided in maxi
ing appropriations out of the City Treasury with
Board consisting, all told, Of the Mayor and only
ELEVEN Aldermen. Mr.. CLARK is the well known
Democratic aspirant for the Customhouse and MI.
GEDDINGS is the Democratic enthusiastically
disguised-for re.sppointment as Assistant Treas
of the United States; and they have doubtless
been SO busy in getting up memorials in their be-
half, signed by violent Democrats and bogus Repub.
licans, that this law has escaped their attention.
