THE HOSPITAL PROBLEM.
WHAT rs TO BE DONE WITH THE SICK
POOR OF THE CITY.
The Present Shabby and Insufficient
mmodations-What is Proposed
as an Improvement-Tho Rival Pians
Roper Hospital VS.. the Poorhouse.

One of the most important subjects that
now occupies the attention of the municipal
authorities of this city is the question of the
proposed alterations at the City Hospital to
meet the constantly increasing demands that
are being made upon the resources of that In
stltutlon. The necessity for Increased hospl.
tai accommodations for the sick and insane Of
the city Is Imperative, as could be shown by
the statistics OF the present over-crowded
establishment, but it Is believed that this
necessity is 30 fully understood and admitted
that it is not necessary to repeat the figures
here, and the object of this article Is simply
to show as clearly and as fully as may be the
various propositions that have been,made to
accomplish the desired result. In order to
convey an accurate Idea of the problem to be
solved, the following diagram has been pre-
pared which represents, on scale of ITO feet
to inch, the eastern half OF thesquare bound
ed by Queen, Mazyek, Magazine and Franklin
streets. The buildings shown are the present
City HOSPITAL, with Its outbulldings, the Work
house aud the Roper Hospital, and the dotted
lines ienote the fences or brick walls which
divide the property. The capital and amall
letters within the diagram of the Workhouse
refer to the proposed interior alterations in
that building as described below: II.

GREENVuLE, b. u, august b.
"A great and glorious ratification meeting
was held here yesterday to endorse the 'nomi-
tion of Greeley and Brown by the Democratic
party. It was one OF the largest ever assem-
bled, and most enthusiastic and unanimous,
and embraced allt the best and most Intelligent
citizens In the county.
Ex-Governor Perry spoke with great ability
and effect. and "the old man eloquent sur
passed himself. .'The old lion" was aroused,
and he assailed Grant and the Scott ring With
irresistible force, and advocated Greeley as
the very best man, under the circumstances,
We could elect, and Insisted that Grant would
not get four States. -....,..---
General Butler. who happened to be present,
was called on, and although unprepared'
made speech Of surprising ability and elo'
ouence. He contended that the negro ques'
ton was settled, and that now 1t was ques'
ton of liberty, of local government, OF civil as
against military rule. He stated that four
days ago Governor Scott, In Columbia, SAID 70
him that he did not care if Greeley 'oas e'ec'-
ed. that he (Scott) was not anxious aoout
Grants election; that Grant had spoken OF his
atea,inp: that he lScott) would soon make
speech; that in that speech he would state that
when Grant was elected to the Presidency he
and his family were all poor, and that he
(scott) and his family could buy them out ten
times: that now Grant and his family were all
rich. and could buy him out ten times; and
that If he got his money by stealing, ne Woula
like to know how Grant got his"
II seems, then, that the Scott party is not as
intensely Grant as supposed, and it may yet
happen that South Carolina may gofor Gree
lev. especially if Sumner comes among us.
Many other,speeches of ability were made.
Colonel Crlttenden, Colonel Moore, Colonel
Jones, ]. M. Stokes, Esq, Colonel McCol-
Tough, Rev. Mr.. stepp, Major Ferguson, F. B.
McBee, Esq, and others spoke, and spoke
well. This county Is sure for Greeley, and
from five hundred to one thousand Democratic
majority. All goes well here.
We have fine seasons. Rain almost daily,
and the gardens and corn crops are rejoicing.
tits rather wet for cotton. A cotton field
near me is said byI judges to be good for a
bale and half to the acre, and with the fer
tilizers we can raise here at the foot of the
mountains, out of the malaria region, as good
and as much cotton as they can In Abbevllle
or Newberry. Each acre of this field will yield
from sl20 to $l50; and thus with land worth
here Say $40, you can more than tenfold its
prlca by one crop. 1t is field of DR.. William

Themandamus case against Cardozo ran of

Iher hearing will not be had ttlltbe regular term
of the court. Corbin, however, got in terrible
arraignment of the Ring, which was delightful
to hear. He charges and proves beyond
all doubt that six. milllons&of the so-called
conversion bonds were issued in fraud and
are clearly unconstitutional. Seven millions
and upwards Of conversion bonds have been
Issued, and only one million of older State
securities were taken up. The act only COZ
templsted that the conversion bonds be used
to convert outstanding securities, but the
Ring illegally hypothecated. them, and they
were finally put upon the MARKET without Q
dollar Of older stocks or bonds being taken up
or converted. ...:..f 5:s5.. 80:

building forty by twenty-five feet on the
ground plan and threestories high, covered
With stucco and red wash, which Is dlscolored
by age and warped and peeled off in many
places. The building marked B Is an old
brick structure, about twenty by thirty feet
in size and two.storles high, now used as a
bakery, where all the bread for the hospital
and various other city institutions Is baked.
This bakery turns out good bread, and by fur
nIshiug the Almshouse, Orphan Asylum, &c.,
brings in considerable revenue; but the
building ia tumbling to pieces, and 1t is said
that the workmen In 1t are literally In danger
of their lives from the crumbllng walls, which
may give way at any moment. The two
buildings, G G, are long, narrow, brown brick
structures, originally built for a pI son, with
little square windows heavily barred. The
northern one Is occupied by colored sick
patients, and the southern one by insane
patients, and in the latter building both color
ed and white persons have to be confined to-
gether. This temporary, insane asylum is
especially a disgrace and eyesore to the city.
It is dark, crowded, lily ventilated and repul-
slve in al Its features, except thatl it is kept
as clean as possible under the circumstances.
1t would make many:a sane man crazy to be
locked up for week within Its dihgy walls,
and 1t Is difficult to see how any insane pa
tlent can possibly recover his mental health In
such place. Whatever plan is adopted for
the extension of the.hospltal, all three Of these
last named buildings should be torn down
and their sites dug up and laid out in some
attractive and rational manner. The Work
house Is probably familiar enough In lis eXte-
rior appearance to most Of our readers. 1t
is O massive and valuable brick structure,
having a front on Magazine street of two hun-
dred feet, and two wings each one hundred
feet long Its heavily barred windows and
dlngy coating of brown stucco now give it a
sombre and Bastilellke appearance, but 1t
could easily be transformed into handsome
building, which would be an ornament to the
neIghborhood and credit to the city.
The Roper Hospital is another building that
is we'll known to every resident of Charleston.
1t Is a handsome aud commodIus building
one hundred and seventy-fve feet long and
0fty feet deer, with wide aud elegant plazzas on
the southern front, and s fitted inside with all
the usual appliances of modern hospital. In-
side it has dispensary, reception-room, mas
ters and matron's rooms, kitchen, mess
rooms, surgeons quarters and large and small
wards. There are also two elevators connect
ing the different floors and bathrooms, water
closets and other conveniences throughout
the building. On the lot in the rear there Is q
