The Charleston Council.

The recent meetings Of the city
council of Charleston have been the
occasions of an unsecmly display OF
temper and wrongheadedness, and
it would appear from reports that
Major Sale has been the offending
person. Tho c0sws 6elzi at tho last
meeting was tho presentation Of a
report of the board of health, which
Mayor Sale refused to have read on
the ground that it was insulting to
the council. When some of the
aldermen demanded the reading,
the mayor refused to accede, and
further refused to entertain any
appeal. from his decision. There.
upon the council adjourned without
transacting any Of the important
business before it. Some time ago
the city council authorized the
making Of certain excavations with
in tho city limits, when the board of
health, alleging that this would
cause disease, procured an iniunc
ton from Judge AIackey, who
decided that the board of
health was supreme. Mayor Sale
maintained that the board was the
creation Of the council, and could
not therefore be supreme. This
caused tho com munica ton which he
refused to receive. Mayor Sale,
also, in the meeting charged that a
conspiracy existed against him, but
refused to name the offenders. He
has subsequently referred his action
to the corporation counsel for adj
vice. promising to be guided by the
decision Of that atlicer.
Whoever may be in the wrong,
such quarrels as this are untimelv
ana deplorable, Charleston is the
richest and most populous portion
OF the State. 1t is therefore an
important factor, and upon the con.
duct Of the Charleston Democracy
depends great deal. This power
'ful body cannot afford to be divided
and disorganized. It must be sohd
and enthusiastic in order to over
come Bowen and Mackey's forces.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING VINE TILL IT
RiPENS.

There IS a curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days. and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Underhill. the well-known
grape grower Of Croton Point. died in 1871.
Some Of his heirs entertained temperance
views of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling 10 allow the stock Of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t Is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for 4 settlement
Of the estate and the sale of the wines on
hand. Among these Is q wine of the vintage
of 1864, described as a "Sweet Union Port"
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine Of American
growth. Its purity. age and mellowness are
remarkable. and both physicians and vine
fanciers have a special interest in 1t as the
Oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the
hands Of the well-known wholesale grocery
house of tho Thurbers.--M. Y. Tribune,
Nov. I0. 1877.
