On Monday last the usual meeting of the County Commissioners took place at their office, Beaufort, when the following gentlemen were in attendance, vis: Mr. J. Hunn, Chairman; Mr. M. Pollitzer and Mr. J. H. Tonking. APPLICATION FOR A LIQUOR LICENSE. Mr. Tonking presented, on behalf of Messrs, Campbell and Fishbnrn, railway contractors, an application for a liquor lioense for the period of six months. He explained that the license would probably be required for only a few weeks, as the applicants were about to remove into the Barnwell county. A resolution had been passed by the board that when an application was made fo~' a six months license, al the latter end of the year the same should be charged at the rate of eighty dollars per annum, because during that period more business would be done than in the six . month/ preceding, when the charge would be &t " a 1*1 v 1. - the rate of arty dollars per annum. -uiuvugu u? fy oppoied to the granting of licenses for tie of the board, yet in the present state of rhr ty finances he thonght it would be good policy to issue a license, and be hoped that the board would grant the application. Mr. Pollitzer said he would be glad to grant the railway contractors a license, but he thought if thoy did this in one case they ought to do it in others, and he was wishful to treat all citizens alike. Perhaps in two months' time there might be a storekeeper who would wish to have a whiskey license for six months, and ought they, under the cirournstances, to grant the application ? He thought they had a good precedent in the United States Revenue law, for a person could only have a license for a year, but if a portion of the year had already passed, a reduction would then be made. The Chairman intimated that be would like to have the opinion of Mr. Kuh, the County Treasurer, on the subject. Mr. Kuh thought that they could not grant a license under the provision of a resolution which had already been passed by the board, but in this case it was only intended for the license to operate for a short time, and, therefore, was an exceptional case, and the lieense might be granted. Ultimately the former resolution was so altered as to make it consistent to grant the application. POORBOCSp. FARM. It was said that Mr. Brisbane had not yet furnished the required particulars respecting the intended Poorhouse Farm. NOX-ISSl'INO OF CHECKS. Mr. Tonking intimated that it bad been considered desirable that the Board should determine whether it was prepared to issue checks for the payment of the accounts presented by Mr. Williams. He (Mr. Tonking) was in favor of the checks being issued for such accounts as had already been audited. J* not to issue_ checks at present, and consequently Mr. Williams declined to allow the commissioners to be admitted to the jail for the purpose of inspection. statement op accounts. Mr. Kuh, the County Treasurer, presented his statement of accounts showing that during the month there had been collected $2,352.83; and expended $1,842.99; leaving a balance of $509.84. ____________ ^ Caution to Magistrates.?Wo are informed that a warrant has been issued against Mr. De Qolyer, of St. Ilclena Island, for receiving fines and rendering no account of them, whilst acting in the capacity of magistrate on the above Is- j land. , Latest Appointments.

On Sunday evening last Mr. John Caldwell, of Columbia, ended bis earthly existence. Mr. Caldwell was the father-in-law of Senator Robertson, and had long been known to the inhabitants of Columbia as a Union man?in fact, for the last thirty or forty years of his life he has earnestly opposed all disunion movements. He was at one time President of tho South Carolina Railroad, and a Director of the old Exchange Bank of this city. The former office he quit on account of his Union proclivities, and resigned from the latter because he was opposed to investing the funds of the bank in Confederate bonds. His funeral took place on Monday at 4 p. v., from the residence of his son, John Caldwell, Jr., and was attended by a large concourse of citizens. . Ifewi From Edgefield County.

Crimes and Casualties 1st Lancaster County. The following items are taken from the Lancaster Ledger of the 5th inst.: A difficulty occurred between two negroes Hilton Clyburn and Ned McKenna, on Sunday last, at the "McKenna quarter," in which the latter was seriously stabbed in five places. Hilton was arrested and is now in jail. Mr. John McCrancy, a citizen of Mecklenburg County, N. C., was accidentally killed on last Friday morning, two miles north of our town. Mr. McC. had been on a visit to bis relatives in this County and was on his way back home, and while in the act of raising an umbrella his horse took tright and ran off, throwing him out of the buggy against a tree. He lived but a short time. Tt is a sad thine to record the death of a prom ising youth from natural causes, but sadder still when the life of an innocent child is taken by accident or otherwise. But yesterday little Charlie was the very picture of health?to-day a pale corpse. Charlie was just three years o.d, a son of Mr. H. J. llickson, of our town, and came to his melancholy death by taking morphine, administered by his own little innocent hands, little conscious that death lurked in 4h? background. 1 CHARLESTON. "Citizens' Party" Mass Meetings"Palpitating Reformers" in Council. TFrom the Charleston Republican, May i7.] Those who did not attend the meeting at Hibernian Hall last night, on reading the sensational headings to the reports in this morning's Nnn and Courier, would come to the conclusion that some extraordinary political phenomenon had occurred, j "The City Speaks," is the most attractive line in the Newt, and thrilled by the announcement, the , reader would, of course, glance rapidly" over the , two or three columns of stale and maudlin stuff uttered by some weak political norieea, and, giving vent to his suspended respiration, might, we imagine, have flung down the paper with a eontemptu- i ous "Bosh!" For, in truth, the municipal articulation as thorn ant forth. is of the veriest nuff-ball ! "" "*w" ' - I order. " The City Speaks," " Charleston invite3 her sister eonnties to join the movement," " Stirring speeohes by White and Colored Men," "Great Enthusiasm," ' says the Xewt; and the poor Courier gasps out "A 1 Monster Mass Meeting," " Tho People Aroused," "The Jane Convention," and so forth. Now, it ' may be that the country readers of the Xeirs and Courier may doubt us (those who attended the ' meeting will not) when we say that the "Citizens' 1 Mass Meeting," at Hibernian Hall last night, was ' the most stupendous " fizzle" that has yet occurred 1 in this city, and the reports given in the papers 1 ^foresaid as distant from the truth as the "buoy at the Nore" is from Winnipeg. At eight o'clock groups of men began to assemble 1 in front of Hibernian Hall, and talk moodily togeth- j ' Br as people generally do at a funeral. The gas ?*? KinllinnHtr inviting tn the emntv seats. ' Duvaav W*? ? o ? J > , . but it needed the urging of the whippers-in to start L the gathering throng into the Hall. At about half past eight the room, which holds eight or nine hundred persons, was well filled, a large majority of those present being Republicans, colored and irhite, who attended to be amused. The number if those in the Hall, recognised as being actively connected with the " Citizens' Party " movement, pras estimated at sixty or eighty, not more. A few ' palpitating Reformers " occupied the platform. The meeting was called to order by Mr. H. BDlney, who moved that Mr. George H. Walter take ;he chair. Mr. George H. Walter took the chair, there being 10 objection. Mr. Olney then read a list of Vice Presidents and Secretaries, with a request that the persons named ^oujlact. . _ - - ** -w? " * About half of the number called?some of whp^Jr pre re colored men?look their seats on the platfr. j \ idding mnch to its nnmorical attractiveness. i ^ M' the Chairman, then made a brief I I address, in which he pledged hia hearty co-opera- j a Lion in carrying the " great movement" forward. 1 Be ignored partiea.

(The "palpitating 1 1 reformers" cringed at this remark.) Mr. Walter D son tinned : " So far as I am concerned, I know no 0 party affiliation, and whoever may be the man 11 jhosen at Colombia to carry oar Gubernatorial rr standard, I care not whether he be a Republican or i Democrat, if be be a true, an honest man, he ** shall have my conscientious and hearty support." [Feeble applause.] ^ On Mr. Walter taking his seat, Mr. J. Ana- P strong, Jr., offered a resolution appointing a oom- ** mitteeof nine to seleot delegates to the contsm- p plated June Convention. No one made any >bjection, and the following gentlemen were appointed a committee by the chair: James Armstrong, Jr., Hugh Ferguson, E. H. Jackson, A. Jack- g son, B. F. Evans, Jacob Smalls, Marlow Cochran, ^ William Black and Lawrence Smith. _ Mr. W. E. Mikell being called for, arose and J ^ made a brief speech. He expressed his earnestness l , in the " great movement" and wishod it God speed. ^ He said he remembered the first day in South Caro- ^ m 11 i ii ii ij amt lijg flint hillnt as a citizen, and be i] then went to the polls and voted for the man whom g ic deemed the best and truest man, never asking ^ himself for a moment what the political views of * :he candidate were. lie was glad to know that when he is henceforth called npon to cast his ballot * for a man, he shall not be compelled to ask whether j tie is a Whig, Democrat, or Republican, but wheth- j Br ho is worthy of the trust he seeks. "Whatever I aav have been my opinions in former days, this * necessity has become an established fact?that men ? are henceforth to be measured by their ability 8 alone." [Cheering.] Before he closed Mr. Mikell offered the following ^ resolution : Revoked, That we invite our fellow-citixens to send representatives from their respective counties to the State Convention which assembles in Columbia on the 15th of June next, in order that the pol- g icy then adopted for accomplishing the great work , of Retrenchment and Reform may be carried out with harmony and with energy by all good citi- 1 zens. No one objected, and the resolution was carried. Mr. R. S. Bruns was next called on, and made a ( speech, whose effectiveness was greatly aided by a gestures peculiar to his calling. The burden of the 1 brief harangne was taxation, and before Mr. Bruns * concluded, the audience looked as if the tax on t their patience by the speech outweighed the State, c National, City, Internal Revenue, and other taxes j put together, fac finally sat down. Mr. John F. Britton then took the stand, and ( made the speech of the evening?reading it from a 1 slip of paper. There was nothing striking or new ? in Mr. Britton's remarks. They sounded like a y "tale that was told/' Heaven knows how often. He c appealed to the workingmen, to the colored men, to. the^hite men, and to all men, to come to the aid ^ of the "Citizens' party," which one would have thought, from his remarks, was in great want of mop of all sorts. tf^Armstrong then presented the following list of uws as delegates to the "June Convention:" General John A.

I .Cr>iOmiDailODB SUUU1U UV auupicu, BUVUL vuwijr UI fyrty voted in the affirmative, while hundreds voted negatively. The Chairman for a moment showed his u'.stomfiture, but he mastered the crisis by declaring the nominees elected. Mi. William Black (colored) was oalled on next. He snia the present administration had done him injuc tice, and advised his race to join the ranks of the new party. He felt no hesitancy in saying that SoutE Carolinians should rnle South Carolina, and be wonld always vote for them. Mr. Black was Ihiquontly interrupted by hisses from the colored people in the audience. Mr. W. 0. Rout (colored) followed in a few brief rSi....rks. lie said, in adopting the principles of itjk^'CUizens' Party," so-called, he did so without ' - ? - T rjje-rt to politics. 1 Mr. Marlow Cochrane (colored) made a short * ipccch, and was followed by Mr. Edward Willis, r d that he was surprised to find himself upon?that everybody knew his forte was ^ if t (peaking. He eonld only say that he was ' >^poref to the present administration, and was D jjfparfd to work against it. ' He then offered a resolution authorising the Chairman to fill vacancies that may occur in the leiegafion. . I This* resolution was also lost, a large majority J rtting negatively, but the Chairman nevertheless a bcided that the resolution was adopted. * Abo? this time the scene became farcical. The t palpitating reformers " on the platform looked roobkit and would probably have given up all \oprfX office "hereafter, if they could have got out t )f tan^idicroos dilemma in which they had involv- y n' T? iasiiiniv a. abJI fnr a mau mMtinf ? <&?a!*<^oQ the opposition tliat (right e nterfere with their soneme?, hut hero it was fn t' earfofty preponderating force, and they felt, if they k tid not acknowledge it, the insignificance and " ]j >uerility of their first pablic attempt to break down o , party whose principles are rooted in justice and c he hearts of the people. I< They felt their failure?it thrilled them to their tl oo-nails. There was fluttering on the stage, a soring hither and thither of bent forms, putting he question to each other, "What shall we do to are ourselres." While this was going on calls n rere made for Mr. T. Y. Simons, but that gentle- n lan failed to put in an appearance, when a single ^ oice called out "Dawson." This was too much P * A nd a laugh broke out all orer the house, when fr. Armstrong seized the opportunity and made 8 motion to adjourn. The question was put, t] nd voted down by an immense majority, (the e leeting was just getting interesting), bat the o hairman, who acted with a great deal of prudence, & [ not fairness, decided that the motion was car- * ied, and declared the meeting adjourned. As the hrong left the hall, nine rousing cheers were given >r Governor Scott, and we may well suppose that tie Citizen's Party, the "palpitating reformers," u idn't carry the sound of those cheers to their ti illows with a very enviable feeling. Our advice ? j them, is to meet hereafter at the little room, No. j Hajne street, where they can always have a ma- n >rity, and vote themselves into power. n AS OUTSIDE .MEETING. ? After the meeting at Hibernian Hall broke up, everal hundred persons held an impromptu meetDg oa the opposite side of the street, where they * rere addressed by Messrs. J. G. and E. W.

He said hat be had not the opportunity to express himself n the hall, but he would do so now. He was as ;ood a Radical as there is in the city, and did not eliew in the assertions made by the Reformers, 0] nd advised his friends to have nothing to do with A. he*, " Thi speakers were frequently interrupted by E hou? and yells from a few displeased "citizens," rho fere stationed on the outside of the crowd, "or this they were reprimanded by Mr. E.

Mishow was sitting as a passenger, by a collision with the iowu-train, ii> the South Carolina Railroad, about (bur miles from Charleston, at or about forty.two minutes past three o'clock, on the afternoon of May 3th, 1870; that said collision was due to the orimiaal negligence of J. J. Boyden, Despatcher on the South Carolina Railroad at Charleston, in failing io start said np-train at the proper time, and the sriminal recklessness of Charles H. Ruffio, Conluctor on said np-train, in starting said train at a time when it was almost certain that it would collide with the' down-passenger train, and to the ;riminal recklessness of John Aytes, Engineer on . train, Lj running his engine at the rate of i^rl> tw*ntv-j^e miles an hour, knowing that b-.rv^ as" Jliaii. .omhjjt.i^ead jinh thatwns not ^oana t? wartkt t^.Turir-uttt for special rnprain, and knowing that he kw but one* brake on )is train of twenty cars.
