?We had a very heavy white frost
last night. Our devil says nary white in
it, for its cold as fury.
There are only twenty-three attaches in
(* the House, against one hundred and seventy-five
last year, none of them are from
this county.
|y The House proposed to reduce
? the price of money. Let them issue monf
ey like they have bonds, and it will soon
j oe cheap enough.
'
The Fire Department has been ordered
i out by H. M. Stuart, Chief, for parade
1 and inspection an Wednesday the 10th
inst. We hope to see a large turn out of
^ all the companies.
A member ot the legislature introduced
I; a resolution to provide locks and keys for
, the members desks It is not very likelj'
the members will have anything to lock
up, from present appearances.
The Time table of the Railroad
was changed Thursday evening by tele /*
graph. No notice being given the express
and passengers were left behind Friday
morning, iue train leaving an hour
earlier than usual.
The legislature is bent on reform, it
owes a $2000, gas bill and wont pay it.
Senator Nash, says reform is all talk,
lie ought to be set down at once as a
Democrat and not a genuine reformer
like all republicans are at present.
, Mr. Mayo, Intcndant, has re-issued the
town ordinancejforbidding the sale of lire
-ft* "Works within the town limits. This ordIinance
so long violated is now to be strictly
enforced, and nronertv owners will r?v
f -rf ? 1 X / J ?
? ameu, although the small boys may
i "reject."
N. B. Myers is rather rough on some of
his fellow members. He offered a resolution
which was adopted that, all reports
4 a from the Committee on Claims and Contingent
accounts, shall be itemized, printed,
and laid on the members1 desks one
I
day before being read.
Jfc A man at Altman's Station last week
. wishing to go to Charleston, waited two
days for the Port Royal train to make a
connection at Yemassee. The third day
i he gave it up, and shipped his trunks by
t express, mounted a mule and rode to
Yemassee in time to catch the train.
A colored man liviug near the Ferry
t ( almost caught a whale last Saturday in
-V Broad river. He hooked something supposed
to be a 150 pound bass, and in his
II endeavor to pull it into the boat it pulled
him into the water. He concluded to
, '' _give it up, and next time go fishing in a
flat.
The trains on the Port Royal Railroad
are getting very uncertain. The mail
arrives two or three hours late generally,
fand Sunday, last the trainjadvertised in
tha schedule did uot run at all. Many
1 biblical words were used with great force
owing to the disappointment on Sunday,
and one gentleman remarked that he
would not attempt^to express his feelings,
but he felt much as he did the Sunday he
was obliged to remain over at Yemassee
and sleep in a pigeon roost.
To those citiaens among us who lost
it cotton during the late war by capture ol
t o the same, by the armies or civil authori'
'tics of the United State Government, an
opportunity is now nfforded them to make
^ their claims before the proper tribunal al
Washington. Mr. M. P. O'Connor ol
.Charleston has for some time been asso
ciatcd with Mr. W. Penn Clarke of Wa-h
ington in the prosecution of such claims
and are devoting much zeal and industry
to their management. All claimant?
j' mmt have their petitions filed on or before
the 2-4th of the present month tc
avoid bar of the Statute of limitation?
and no time is therefore to be lost in prex"
seating cases. We recommend all wbc
? have claims to have tho u attended to 01
they may forfeit the right ever to present
them at a future day. #

POUT ItOYAIi AItOU8EB
And now cometh on a pace the mo
exciting contest of the year?of the yet
do we say I Aye, of the decade. For the
is now soon to be elected an Intenda
and one or more Wardens to keep wati
and ward over that tremendous congl
meration of marble warehouses, brow
stone front-lined avenues and grani
quay9, known us the city of Port Royal.
This is no political contest be it unde
stood ; no case of Greene vs. Chambe
laiu; but one where yankees, radical
republicans, and.independents, conserv
tives and * scsesh " are joined hand
hand in the interest of protection of pro
erty against the fierce and unscrupulo
brigands, who owning nothing, wou
ne'ertheless impose the terrible burden
taxes on others than themselves. Ai
tha stentorian tones, and grim laugh
the warrior preparing to do battle f
the right, reaches even to Beaufort, ai
is heard high above the humming of t]
busy gins.

' charged against former administratio
and points out remedies for all exi?ti

ee' J E HOME.
Irs.
'm- Gov. Allan's message to the Ohio Legto0
islature, and Gov. Chamberlain's inauguaa*
ral address, are documents that will bear
lie
contrasting. The Ohio Governor gives
st. t stical figures showing the honest
management of the State finances and the
he general prosperity of its great interests.
The South Carolina Governor promises
ir- for the future the reform, economy, and
*r- honesty of which his State has expertis
cnced so little.?Exchange.
icr A question of grave importance that
;c- will have to go to the Supreme Court for
tli decision results from the disagreement of
a? Judges Bond and Hughes in the Peterscd
hurg election cases. Judge Hughes pronounces
the Enforcement act of 1870 nn'or
constitutional, and declares that the cilicr,
*en derives his right to vote in Stute
id elections from the State, and cannot be
d_ deprived of it by act of Congress. The
bitterness of feeling in which that was
passed lias so far passed away that the
" question of its constitutionality can now
IB* be considered without being uiade a politlr>
ical bugbear.

nt A Georgia politician is known as " that
:1> genial embezzler."
Texas is full of mysteries. A manTwas

tc the next morning he was found hanging
to a tree a quarter of a mile away.
r It is suggested that in building railI
roads, the rails should be heated red-hot, (
so that the workmen may lay them down ^
rapidly. :

is still very youug, but has grown
during her years of seclusion into a tall i
and very boautiful girl. Both have'exquisite
conplexions, loving eyes, ripe,
scarlet lips, and sweet expression.
