Our New County Officers.
Governor Hampton has thus far made ;
appointments in this county worthy of aJl
praise. That of John Conant Esq.., as 1
Jury Commissioner, we have already referred
to.
The selection of Major W. J. Gooding j
as Treasurer gives assurance that the itn- j
portant trust will be filled by a man ot j
integrity, of unusual force# of character, j
and one well known throughout the county
as a valuable member ot late years of
the Board of Equalization and as rendering
yeoman service last year on the Grand
Jury.
Mr. B. B. Sams is well qualified to
discharge the duties of Auditor, possessing
an intimate knowledge ot its require*
meats from his long service in the treasurer's
office.
While regret ting the displacement of
Dr. Thompson, as Health Officer, we
recognize in his successor the genial Dr.
Johnson one who will ably discharge the
duties having already served in the position
under the appointment of Gov.
1UU5C3.
PAPIN'S "HAMPTON CIT? ?
The extraordinaiy charters that so
nearly were granted to PeterPapiu, have
attracted much attention .and a few
extracts from them will be of interest to
our readers, and will show how comprehensive
and extensive a scheme was
hatched in the fertile brain of this irrepressible
busybody.
The bill is entitled 44 An Act to incorporate
the Port Royal Docks, Warehousing,
Transportation and Banking Company.
and the Port Royal Liverpool Real
?statc Improvement Company, lor the
purpose of incorporating the Hampton
City Improvement and Geueral Shipping
Company. " The bill provides that the
above named charters shall be all comr
bined in one with Peter Papiu, J. P.
Wells, and W. S. Haymond, as corporators,
for the purpose of carrying out the
enterprises indicated in the above high
sounding titles the prime object being to
build up 14 Hampton City" on all the
marshes in this neigborhood.
Section 2nl of the bill gives the ineor
porators power to 44 own, purchase, hold,
lease, sell and improve any land now in
their possession, or that they may become
poosawed of, to build up a shipping and
manufacturing city to open streets, avenues,
parks, squares, erect buildings, facftrwL-Q
wliarvAS. Jfeft..

and to collect storage, rents, wharfage |
Ac "
Section 3rd gives them power to build,
lay and run tramway or railroad tracks,
and to connect and consolidate with
lines of steamers and railroads built or to
be built for making use of the company's
docks wharves and warehouses as their
terminns. Power is given to them to
bnild, charter, purchase and sell, and
navigate steamships and sailing vessels ;
to establish a banking department for the
purpose of making advances on consignments,
bottomries and general shipping
interest, '
- In Section 6, the company is given
power (and .here is the kernel) to
reclaim all vacant marth land on any
navigable creek or river wherever the ;
company proposes making improvements
on,Port Royal Harbor, on the payment
to the state of fifty cents per acre. Section
7, exempts the proposed company
and all manufactories located within its
limits from taxation for ten years.
The capital stock of the company shall
be five hundred thousand dollars with
power to increase it to four millions, but
they shall have power to bogin operations
as soon as one hundred thousand shall
have been subscribed and fifty thousand
paid in. The stockholders shall be liable
?a mmint nf thpjr stock.
VUy iV %w wuav?i>*? w
Section 10, gives the company authority
to issue two millioa dollars of mortgage
or endorsed bonds of not over seven per
oenfc interest in gold with power to
increase the amount of bonds to six millions,
as business may require, redeemable
at such time and on such terms as shall
be agreeable to the company. The char
ter to be perpetual.
The above is a brief outline of this
wonderful compauy which it will be seen
has but two objects; the seizing of all
desirable marsh lands near Port Royal
and the issuing of an unlimited arnoun1
of bonds, and if there is a mm well
adapted for the purpose that man is
Papin. This bill passed the third reading
in the Senate and was favorably
?9 ?"
reported on in the House, and onlv for
the discovery by some of our citizens of its
dangerous provisions would by this time
havo been ratified, endangering the
property of our harbor and putting into
the bauds of men of no capital the power
to bring rain 011 all who might be
disposed to invest in its worthless securities.
The account we gave two weeks ago
of the inquest on the body of Adam
Snipe who died of consumption on Coosaw
Is'and has attracted much attention
in the press both South and North. The
Baltimore Gazette takes a very proper
view of the case and in a long article
gays:
'A strange survival "f \friean ?uj' r-1
;t it ion has clothed itself in South Caroli- j
n* with the garb of Anglo Saxuu law; (
itid it may serve as an indication of the j
imam of what was recently the ruling
jlass in th.^t State for the exercise of the i
futies of American citizen-hip. One of:
he ioeradicable creeds of* the Negro race :
s "conjuring." Even considerable!
mJ neat ion often fails to rid the colored.
man of the belief that another can *'conjure*'
him?i.e., cast a sped or blight on
him, so that he will fall sick, wither and
lie. In Africa the, imyanger or witch
ioetor, corresponds soujwhat with the
medicine man of our Indians, but is a lar
more bloody and beastly personage. The
traditions of the imyanger or conjurer
still alright the .'o ils of the American
citizens of African descent. As it seems
now to be a necessity that Pago Hagood
shall be tried for murder, the question
arises what will be his chances before a
jure of his peers? No charge of the
Judge would save him fiom a verdict of
guilty. The pardoning power of Gov.
Hampton is, perhaps, the only certain
safeguard that he has against the scaffold.
Things are almost as had among the
negroes of South Carolina as they were
among the New England Puritan witch
burners some two hundred years ago. '
Another ease occurred on St. Helena
last week showing in strange light the
superstition that exists among the negroes
in that locality. A man died from
J
souie disease, ann as uuuiy ui un- vuiwit?
people think that every one of their
number that dies in early age is a victim
of some enemy, who has administered
poison, they set about to find out the
cause of his death. It was claimed that
after death an ant was seen to come
from the mouth of the corpse which immediately
took wings but was captured
aud put iu a bottle of whiskey and corked
up tightly. All at once the ant disappeared
and as it could npt have escaped
from the mouth of the bottle the people
were satisfied that it was th^ cause of the
man's death and an inquest must be held
to decide who administered the poison
that, after death, turned into an ant to
return to the poisoner to be used again
on another victim. A deputation was
sent for a coroner hut none would hold
the inquest. There are a number of
/imyangers" who travel around on the
islands and pretend to cure disease and
discover poison scattered around the cabins
nf the ftolnrcd neonlebv their enemies,
and also to use their charuis to locate
runaway husbands and wives. These
conjurers are increasing in numbers and
reap a rich harvest. They charge two
dollars for walking around a cabin and
destroying the poison supposed to be put
there to kill the occupants One of
these men a few days ago received five
dollars for calling on a sick man and
curing him by drawing a circle in the dirt
before the door and after going through
some mysterious motions seizing an old
rag that lay within the ring declaring it
was the cause of the mans sickness. This
new practice effected a speedy cure and
the imyanger is now the only physician
employed on the place.
Tom Hamilton has a poor opinion of
the morals of the members of the House.
He said last Friday that the charge of
bigamy might truly be brought against
two thirds of them.
Wc are glad to see that the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate has reported a
bill to prevent cruelty to animals. There
are several bad cases of ill treatment of
horses in Beaufort where the animals
ought either to be turned loose or killed.
We hope some oue will try aud put this
law in force when it shall have parsed.
Information has reached the Department
of State, of a recent discovery in
Kgypt of a peculiar species of cotton plant
that produces a double crop. The plant
is being raised there as a distinct variety
for commercial purposes, and has caused
a great deal of excitement among the cotton
planters. They sell the seed for a
dollar a pound.
* i
It is a matter of congratulation, says
the Journal of Commerce, that the fence
law bugbear is at last out of the way.
There was such a diversity of opinion
upon the subject that the House found it
a difficult question to grapple, and its
consideration occupied several da$\s. On
Friday night the excitement and feeling
ran so high that the session broke up in
confusion. On Saturday, however, the
House made a last desperate effort to get
rid of this apple of discord, and this time
succeeded. The bill was passed and the
matter of feoce or no fence now rests
with the voters of the different township>
and counties. The County of Beaufort
was exempted from the provisions of the
bill, and in this county the law remaius
as at present
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
May 23.The Judiciary committee in the
Qonoto fn xrhnm wns referred the follow
I^VilUiV iV n *avu? ??v
ing bills recommended that th:y do pass!
Bill for the prevention of cruelty to animals;
bill to amend act entitled "An act
to amend section 2, chapter 25, of the
general statutes of South Carolina, relative
to trial Justices; Joint resolution to
appoint a commission to inquire and
examine into the subject of phosphates
and phosphatic deposits; bill to repeal
au act to alter and amend au act entitled
"An act to revise, simplify and abridge
the rules, practices, pleadings and forms
of courts in this State, relating to executions
;"
Mr. Myers introduced the following
resolution. Resolved, That the action of
the Senate postponing until the next session
all bills chartering phosphate companies
be, and the same is heieby, rescinded.
In the House the committee on Mines
Mining and Manufacturers reported
favorably on a joint resolution to authorized
and require the Attorney General to
inquire into the matter of the phosphate
companies of the State, with a view to
pntect the interest of the State.
The Judiciary Committee submitted a
report iu relation to the various bills to
charter and recharter phosphate cmnnnn
ies, and said that loss of much valuable
property had been suffered by the State ,
in consequence of such charters; that it;
might be found that the acts of incorporation
could be annulled : and they submitted
that by a judicious system of subdivision
and sale of the State's lands a
considerable revenue might be realized.
Resolutions authorizing the e'erk to
issue certain pay certificates for witnesses j
and summonses in the investigation cf
Judge Wright's conduct was taken up.
Mr. Miller said that he had heard on
the street that a member of the investiga
ting committee had asked persons to tes-1
tify against Judge Wright, even if it was ,
false, and had told them they would be j
paid for their services: and he asked {
, that the matter be postponed till to-mor- !
I row so that he might bring affidavits to
that effect He said if he did not brine
those affidavits the House might expel
him. If they would give him half an
hour, he would produce them at ou^e.
j Mr. Hamilton said he did not see any
necessity for bribiug witnesses when at j
least a thousand pcrscns saw Judge
! Wright drunk at the theatre in Wash-!
| ington Every member who say that j
i Judge Wright is not guilty knows that j
he is guilty.
The consideration of the bill to reduce
: the fees for dieting prisoners was ie:
sumed. One provision of the bill is that
v v* i . _ 11
prisoners may DC nirca our as iiiuorure,
and this excited the opposition of some
of the Republican colored members.
They prolonged the discussion as long as
they could, and then they re
sorted to filibustering. The bill was
! finally passed.
May 25.?In the Senate the bill to re-1
vive the charter and to extend the time
for the commencement of work on the
i Anderson, Aiken, Port Royal and Charleston
Railroad received its third reading,
passed, and was sent to the House.
In the Senate Mr. Orr, from the
| special investigating committee, reported
that upon examination, they had found
that the member alluded to by Mr.
Miller was C. H. Minort; that Miller
j had sufficient prima facie grounds to
make the charge; but that the committee
thought that Minort was in fact no
guilty. The whole matter was in!
definitely postponed.
Mr. Orr, from the Committee on
Privileges and elections, reported on the
case of Prince Martin, trom Fairfield,
that the protest against him had been
withdrawn, and therefore the jurisdiction
of the committee was at an end: but
1 that a new protest had been presented on
the ground that Martin was a bigamist.
The committee asked to be discharged.
Air. Hamilton said that Martin should
be allowed to take his seat on presenting
his credentials and purging himself of
his contempt. He said that he thought
? 1 - ? I-. i 1? 1
! the charge 01 Digamy uiigiio umy ue
i brought against two-thirds of the mew
bers of the House,
The resolution to swear in Martin w. s
adopted when he appeared and said:
i I beg the House's pardon for my cou|
tempt of it last fall." He then presented
' his credentials and was sworn in:
Attempted Murder Near Hoovers.?The
Crops.
Editor of the Tribune. .
Our quiet little village was aroused on
: Satur ay night last, by the pcrjietration !
i of one of the most dastardly outrages,
| ever committed in this community.
A peaceable, quiet and honest citizen.
Mr. J. E. Altaian, a mau sixty-five years ;
i of age, resides at this place. His wife,
only a few days ago, was called to a
" better home. " After a hard days work. i
as usual he retired to his humble couch, |
; but in a short time after lyiug down, a J
! pistol was fired into his house. He at!
| once sprang for his gun, when one of the j
assailants who by the way he caught j
: stealing one of his bee-hives, forced I
I
his door open, and succeeded in securing j
| the old gentleman's gun, and run out of;
the house with it. He placed himself in
the door, and pistols commenced firing,
through the open door. One ball passed
through^ his left thigh, one took effect
in his right leg, just above the ankle,
j Fortunately the bone was not fractured,
but it caused the ball to glance. One
ball was found in in the opposite side
wall, No 22x100 calibre. Shooting at
random as the party did, it is a wonder,
! that Mr. Altman was not instantly killed.
As well as he could see, there were four
or five young white men in the party.
What induced these youngsters, to
commit this atrocious outrage, no one
i can tell, unless the bee-hive had some!
thing to do with it. The wounds are not
1 thought to be dangerous, and in a short
time we hope he will be able to" pursue
his daily avocations. It is to be hoped,
I that these young men, will be properly
dealt with, at the hands of the law.
| Unfortunately for us, we have to go at
I 1 . fn rrr.t n trial instinfi.
in tlJLJ LllllVOf VV f)W M J
We trust that his Excellency Gov.
Hampton, will soon Appoint a good man
among us, as wc have been deprived of
one for the last eight years.
Crops are looking fine, and clean of
| grass. The farmers are alive to their
j duty, and with good season, an abundant
I crop will be made. I am fearful however,
that some of our farmers, are paying too
: much attention to " King Cotton, " and
neglecting the cereal crop, which is so
! very important to our country.
