Official Paper of Beaufort County.
The committee who have been investigating
the South Carolina Bank ami
Trust Co., in which institution the
State lost over $200,000, have made theii
report, and have disclosed a damaging
state of facts. It appears now that the
bank was unsound from the start, having
only $2,474.47, cash on hand, the balance
of its assets being 'its charter, paid*for in
stock, $2.3,000, bank building, $10,383,
and furniture and outfit, $2,659.23. The
wonder is now, and for which the taxpayers
have great cause to be thankful that
it did not collapse when the State had a
greater amount than $290,009 on deposit.
The sworn statements of its condition,
at various times have been shown to be
false, and in the ten days immediately
preceding the failure the assets were ingeniously
mauipu'ated, and State paper
of questionable value substituted for otner-and
betterZassets.

A visitor to Port Royal ou Saturday
J ist would have seen at a glance that some
thing out cf the ordinary run of events
was about to happen, by the amount of
bunting that had been thrown to the l
breeze, and the number of gentlemen you
met in gala attire, with rosettes and silk-1
en badges on which were inscribed '*i* 1
Royal Committee," and if you had wend- j
ed j'our way to the warehouse of the P.
R. Cotton Compressing Co., and aftei
gazing on the magnificent spread of tables
that the genial host of theMansiou House :
had so temptingly laid out, and inquired j
';what was in the wind," you would have '
been informed that they were wa t'ng in
anxious expectancy the arrival of six huudred
excursionists composed ol representative
men from the west and northwest, j
who lilt% Toshua had been sent to view
the promised land, that is to judge for!
themselves what sort of a place Port Roy- j
a] is, and whether it possesses the eapac- :
>\v fur a shipping port, and the advantages
over other older cities, of which they j
had heard so much.
They had already visited Atlanta and
Augusta, which latter place they left ear-1 <
Jy on Saturday morning, but were detain-' ]
ed for ten. hours near Rrnnsou, in con-e- <
queucc oi the wreck of the up train of the i
previous evening, the track being dam ;
aged and 'detracted thereby. This iuws <
No light is thrown on the entry $Sf,000
for legislative expenses, the books of the
bank having been mutilated, hut the
committee conclude "the transaction
must have been bad indeed to require
such nefarious acts to conceal it,"
The State Treasurer, too is charred in
. w *
the evidence with 14 acts not only officially
irregular but criminally dishonest
and corrupt," and he himself
violations of law in paying claims of the
bank out offiwonics levied for other purposes,
but the committee view his acts
with a great amount of charity, and say
" he is either a party in interest or a
dupe to a nefarious transaction. "
They could not agree as to the amount
of censure due the Bo::rd of Deposit for
increasing the Slate deposits in this institution,
ajminoritv reporting |:hat this
board is "not free from the charge of i e
gleet of duty and public trusts," while
~ the majority relieved them from all ccn
sure.
They make no recommendation," but
certainly after this exposure nothing
should be left undone that can be done to
secure the return of the money due the
State, to make up for the loss of
.? which the people have already been tax'.ed.
Great Fire In Charleston.
On Monday at 3 o'clock a. mM a fire
broke out at tbe corner of King St. and
Rogers Alley, in the city of Charleston.
It was blowing a gale at the time, and in
consequence of neap tides the tidal drains
were empty, and the numerous fire engines
were almost useless. The fire spread
very rapidly, and extended north along
King St. to above Shepherd St., westward
to St. Philip St., eastward to Railroad
Avenue, consuming everything in its
progress, destroying one hundred houses
and stores, and rendering homeless some
two hundred families. The loss is estimated
at $250,000, insurance $84,400.

was more cutting to the "Port Royal '
Committee, than the bitter March wind
that was sweeping through this city of
the future, (Saturday bein^ about the
coldest day of the year,) but it was as unwelcome
to a number of residents of
Beaufort, who bad made every preparation
for entertaining their western guests.

"their few remarks'' in manacript, we !
1 j
presume following the a J vice of -I??-li ;
fillings "that extemporaneous speeches
always sound better prepared before
hand."
t last it became generally understood that 1
the excursionists, in order to carry out their
programme, would not, in consequence
of the delay, visit Port Royal at all, but
on arriving at Yemassee about 9 o'clock
at uight, the general sentiment was, that
''it was better to see Port Royal in the
night than not to see i4 {it all," so that all i
who couM conveniently stow themselves
iway it) the ears for Port Royal did *so. j
and the balance proceeded by rail to Sa-1
vannah.
In the meantime the strancr Gen!
Sedgcwick, wh*h was to have been at
Port ltoyal early in the day, was fortunate
enough to ground in Romney Marsh Dear
Savannah, the previous night, so that she
lid not leave that city until half past four
and arrived at Port Royal, with the Forest
City Brass Band, at half pa<t eight.
Those on board wended their way to the
hotel, where a few of the advanced guards
of the excursionists who had come to
Port Royal the day previous were already
seated around a glowing fire. They received
a cheering welcome from Judge
Baldwin, and the baud striking up a lively
air, the fair ones with th ir beau cmI
braced the opportunity to while away the
! Kanrc Wit h th p snvijrht.lv dance.

At la>t a shrill "whistle was heard announcing
the approaching cars, and the
committee and the band went forth to
meet them, and conducted them to the
improvised bauquettiug hall, where, a>
might be expected after the long delay,
the guests set to work with sharpened
I appetites. After which several speeches
were delivered, and by 11-30 the excursionists.
were ready, but not willing to
embark on board the steamer General
Sedgewiek for Savannah. They desired
to remain over to the following day, but
on account of other engagements the
steamer could not wait, so, with the exception
of about forty who remained,
they departed, and arrived in Savannah
*
the following morning.
Scarcely ever has so large a body of excursionists
of such a representative character
been gathered together, fifteen
cities and towns being represented by
their chief magistrates, and capital that
can be enumerated by millions. The
fourth estate was also numerously represented,
from whose descriptions of this

It is to be regretted that Port Royal
could not have been viewed iu the daytime.
Those who remained visited the fleet
by moans of the pilot boat Neca, on Sunday,
and make their acknowledgements,
through the Savannah News, to Capt.
J. King and Pilot Dupong, for the courtesies
extended to theiu. They express
themselves delighted with Port Royal.

BRUSSOX.
Hard tijum.?Energj- Among the Farmers?The
Repeal of the Town Charter.
Eruxson, S. C., March 18, 1870.
Editor Standard and CommercialIt
is impossible at this particular sea
son, to give you au item ot interest from
our little burgh or vicinity. I have recently
visited various portions of the surrounding
country, and the universal cry
is h ard times: nor do I exaggerate when
I say, that there are many families who
arc now destitute and suffering for the
absolute necessaries of life, and these with
many others will, before the year expires,
suffer more seriously than any one has a:
idea. We understand that the same destitution
prevails in portions of Barnwell
and Colleton.
In consequence of an almost total failure,
In many instances, to make a crop in
this immediate vicinity, the hard time*
have extended to this whole community
In fact Mr. Editor, hard times are so prevalent
among us, that one of our pronii
j ucnt merchants his taken into his cmploy
a certain individual who rojoices iu I
the sobriquet of
hard times.
Whether the employer did this with the
honest conviction of practically demonstrating
to his dilatory customers that he
! too was afflicted with the plague, and
that ii was no optical elusion, or whether
it was done to assert the opposite hypothesis,
or from a pure love of being in |
the world of fashion, and having hard j
times in some shape, is a question we will'
tr\ inli'rt
U'Jl Ult^UJ|;v vv ovnv.
Tlie times, however hard, do not seem I
to deter the fanner from making another ;
desperate attempt for a good crop. The
failure last year appears to serve more as ;
an impetus for redoubled energy than as j
a source ot despondency, and the merry
song and happy laugh of the laborer is J
heard as you pass the fertile fields of j
Beaufort county, which proves that j
there's life in the old land yet," and ;
hope of a better time coming.
Trial Justice Roberts was kept vgry
lasy last week, day and night, trying a
number of cases of petit larceny, assaults j
rnd batteries, and other misdemeanors, i
ci imes which seem to be of frequent oe- '
currence iu this vicinity especially the
former.
I hear that an attempt is being made '
to repeal the charter of this place by some
who sought and did not get office, together
with others on whom merited punish- ,
ment was mote I for flagrant violations of '
air town ordinances. We trust that this <
unreasonable attempt will prove abortive,
you well know that the e mba-ivc or- I
l'uus of many citizens iu this h *athcn re-' ?
I I
giou arc well developed, and little peacj j
and quietude would >>ur good and lawabiding
citizens enjoy, if our charier was
repealed. Only last week we were un.
willing spectators to a pugilistic contest
between Messrs. Perry and Simons, two
of our citizens.
Simons hails from north of Mason and
Pixon's line, and stands five feet seven
and three-quarters iu his socks, while
Perry claims to be a native of Edgefield
couutv, and stands six feet onc-and-aquarter.
Only a few rounds were exchanged
and the battle was over. We
fVlAll ' t 1 M C TOrtCl AtfAK ' '
uivu^'it uu-Tuuu >vai u?ui.
Our little town is at present in a quiet
state. Our merchants are doing vciy
little business except on a cie lit and very J
| l'ttlc in that line, for itsccm.s that "man's
inhumanity to nmu" has made countless
merchants mourn, and the credit system
is neither popular nor facinating.
All is "quiet along the Potomac," and
I should man or beast, bird or devil receive
i aught to his detriment, to mar the repose
and quiet we so much love and eujoy, you
will hear agaiu from
Watchman.
THE CENTENNIAL.
Memorial Hall--Curions Japanese
Buildings?Machinery Hall.
In my last letter, I gave a 1 rief description
of the principal exhibition buildings,
with the exception of Memorial
Hall, which merit* a special notice, both
on account of its beauty, and the fact
that it is to be a permanent structure,
and is designated to be the receptacle of
an industrial and art collection, on the
plan ot the celebrated South Kensington
Museum, London which has done so much
to advance industrial and decorative art
in England. The edifice stands on an
| elevation, a short distance from the Main
Exhibition Building, is 305 by 210 feet,
and 60 feet in height and is built of iron
and massive granite. Beautiful collonj
ades extend to the not very lofty towers
i which form the corners and upon each of
: which is Perched a huge American eagle
with wings outspread for flight. A ove
the great dome rises to the height of
150 feet, and terminates in a massive bell
surmounted by a collossal statue of
America, while at the four corners of the
; base are figures which represent the four
I quarters of the globe. The main entrance
I firough three vast arched doorways, and i
between the arches are groups of pillars,
whose emblematic carving represent
I the history of science and art. The
! bronze doors bear, in relief, the coats of
| amis of the different states, the national
j coat of arms occupying the centre of the
! main frieze. Adjoining the hall are garI
dens, adorned .with fountains and statI
uary, and two collossal bronze horses
stand on either side of the grand stairway
by which you mount to the main
entrance. The interior of the building
is just now a forest of scaffolding^
through which the visitor, if so fortun
ate as to gain admission, wanders at the
peril of loosing himself or being caught
m a shower of rubbish from above. The
grand hall is twice the size of the largest
hall in the country, being 289 feet long
and 811 feet wide, ami affords 85.0 0
square feet of wall space for paintings*
and 29,UJO square feet of floor space tor
statuary, and other works bt art. Yet
with even this vast amount of space,
the commission, in order to meet the ur
gent requests of exhibitors, has been
forced :o erect a temporary brick addition
and now still another is under way. The
eutire cost of Memorial Hall proper,
amounting to over 5-1.500.000, ls paid
by the State of Pennsylvania and City of
Philadelphia, to which it will revert.
The place where the curious 44 most do
congregate " is about the enclosure
within which the Japanese building is
being erected. A tile roof on stilts was
my first impression when 1 saw it, but
since then the space between the stilts
has been filled 111 and the building
begins to assume a more definite form.
1 T- * T /V / : 1 ~..J
It IS cniciiy 01 UUUJUOU, nuu mc luaiuiau"
wore brought from Japan in such a condition
as to leave but little to be done except
to place them iu position. No nails
are used but everything is morticed and
fastened with wooden pegs. The roof is
of tile, overlapping and presenting a corrugated
surface, .ana the whole structure is
exceedingly picturesque. But the most
picturesque tiling of all is appearance ol
the workmen, with their odd garments
and peculiar methods of working. Some
of them have discarded a portion of
theirnation.il dress, and have adopted
a combination whi^i its more to be admired
from a utilitarian than au artistic
point of view. An old plug hat, with
ear laps attached, may be comfortable,
and boots may be warmer than sandals,
but when combined with tight leggins
a id the indiscribable Japanese upper garment,
they give the wearer the appearance
of having stepped out of one of
tlio-c grotesque Japanese fans or screens
which are now so fashionable, and heipe 1
himself to the contents of an old closet.
They use planes, but instead of pushing
them from themselves, use them like
draw knives. Their saws resemble meat
axes, and they hold the timber in position
with their feet while sawing. In
fact they reverse a great many of our
methods, but woik very neatly aud expeditiously
nevertheless.
The buildings throughout are farther
advanced than were those at Vienna when
the exposition opened. They are now in
the transition state which precedes the final
arrangements for the exhibition. Articles
for exhibition have been arriving for
some time, and from now to the day of
opening the grounds will present the appearance
of confusion incidental upon the
reception and arrangements of the exhibits
which are to fill these vast buildings.
Machinary Hall is a chaos of huge shafts,
wheels, and all the disjecta membra, of
the mighty engines that are to illustrate
the extent of man's dominion over the lazy
giant, who won't work until he is made
to, and only work while trying to escape
from his cunning master.
The bond of the Centennial Board of
Finance, as required by recent approbria
tion by Congress has been filed, and the
appropriation will now be available. The
act of Congress requires that the President
of the board. Mr. John \l'elsh and
Mr. Frederick Fraley, the Treasurer, give
a bond in the sum of $o()0,000 with sufficient
security for the faithful disbursement
of the appropriation. As soon as
the requirements of the act were made
