at Columbia, S. C. The report was an
elaborate argument in aopport of the re

ia direct connection with that snlject.
The order ol the day being the report on

ed thai the whole mat'er be postponed

in by a number of the moat prominent
commissioners, tbe order of the day waa
taken np by n overwhelming maj-nitj.
This was looked rtpon as somewhat of a

presented the rosority report on reform.
It recommended, fiist, that tbe fire execu
