William Stone has resigned the po*i- '
lion of U. IS. District Attorney. No
successor has yet been appointed. F.

and if the position was tendered to him
in such a manner as to command his
respectful consideration he might possible
consent to occupy the seat vacated
by D. T. Corbin and Wui. Stone.

that is a Probate Judge who cannot

The Attornev-General has brought
suit against the bondsmen of ex-Comptroller
T. C. Dunn, as receiver of Solomons'
Bauk for ?25,000, the amount of
his boud as such receiver, which, it is
claimed, has been forfeited by his failure
to discharge hisduties and account for
the property intrusted to his management.
The value of the property is placed at
$314,760. Dunn is absent from the
State.

West Poiut is to have another colored
cadet in the person of C. A. Minnie
who won the appointment in a competitive
examination in New fork open
to all. Miunie's record was so far ahead
of all the other candidates that the
Congressman who bad the appointui:nt
was compelled to give it to him although
a great pressure was brought to bear
on him to prevent it.

A letter published today from Mr.
Ilutson gives a very satisfactory statement
of the present condition of the
Prescott Fund, and of the faithful man
ner in which the Trustee has fulfilled I
his duties regarding his trust. The information
will be gladly received b?
those of our citizens in Prince William's
Parish who have felt aggrieved because
they were not benefitted by the legacy
of Mrs. Prcscott, but who must now see
that the only^ way it could be properly
used was left to the discretion
of the Trustee who l^s so ably fulfilled
his trust.
There is another fund in which the
poor of St. Luke's Parish are interested,
known as the Paly Fund. This legacy
is now in the custody of the clerk of
court and wc are promised a statement ol
its'condition and amount which we hope
to publish next week. '
F. Hay Gantt Esq. of Barnwell county
has been appointed solicitor of this?the
second?circuit in place of Lee resigned.
Mr. Gantt was the Democratic nominee
in the last campaign. '"With but slender
hopes of winning," says the Journal of
Commerce "he entered into what was
considered a profitless fight, and no more
zealous or worthy worker shewed himself
* in that glor'ous and exciting campaign.
As a soldier he won distinction and eminent
position. As a lawyer he has
commanded the absolute confidence and
respect of the bar for strict, integrity,, fine
abilities, and a personal character tar |
above reproach. The Governor lias
made a wise choice, and the ndministia'
tion of justice, in the Second Circuit vi'l
hereafter be something more ihau a
mockery."
The famine now prevailing in the
southern provinces of Tndia is the most
terrible of modern times; a region where
famines arc of frequent recurrence. The
famine area eoutaius a population of
eighteen millions of inhabitants, of
whom, says one account, a large proportion
are dependent fbr their daily food
on the exertions and activity ot those
who transport grain to the country. If
is officially stated that the number of
people now being fed is not less than a
million and a half, while the death.from
want of food and the disease which
famine engenders has been at least five
hundred thousand.

The Democratic Convention of the
State of Pennsylvania met at Harrisburg
on the 22J, and after bitter speeches
The following resolution was adopted:
"The Democratic party ot Pennsylvania
and its delegates in convention
assembled do declare: First. That the
induction of Butherford B. Hayes into
the office of President, notwithstanding
the election of Samuel J. Tilden thereto,
was a high crime against free government
which has uot been condoned and
i p mil.
will not oe iorgouer. xuu same spirit
of patriotism which forbore contest upo 1
the first offence, will resist ami punish
any attempt at a second."
The courcution reaffirmed and adopted
the financial resolution of the National
Democratic platform adopted at St
Louis in 1S7G.
The International or National cotton
Exchange are proposing to place a trfrc

in other wordi causing the planter to

We were passing through one of the ^1
large covered ware houses in Charleston ; I
some time ago anil were surprised to , i
see the immense amount; of cotton ! ]
strewn upon the floor and pulled out 1
of the hag>, per.jtikes of tl)t' ware- j
housemen, and could not help remarking ! <
the vicissitudes through which a hale 1 i
of cotton had io pass before it reached
its final destination and the great loss
to which the_ planter is subjected. !
in addition to the semi-legitiuiate i
mode of sampling a hale of cotton bv 1
which two or three pounds is taken ;
from eacdt halo, lite hands about the
warehouse are all interested in pulling
out a handful even if it drops on the
floor to bo gathered at a future time, j
and we have heard of firms in Charles- ;
ton who pack fifteen or twenty bales j
of cotton yearly from these samples. It,
is art abuse worthy of legislation.
Professor F. S. Holmes, Professor of
Zoology is out in a long letter as to the
failure to obtain deep water at Charleston.
He states that ?200,000 or 300,000 had
been expended in fruitless attempts to
obtain by dredging through sands a deep
and permanent channel for ships of all
classes entering that put.* 'These he'said
were the result of attempting what several
boards of United States co nraissioners
and scientific men had condemned as
impracticable.
"The last effort made in this direction
was the dredging of Uumpkiu Hill Channel
by Mr. B. Maillefert, and which I
did not hesitate to pronounce a "grand
failure,V and I think so still, notwithstanding
his defence made by his son inlaw,
Mr. P. E. Parmelee, in the Journal
of Commerce August 7th. The Chamber
of Commerce (I presume) relied upon
the knowledge, and exj>erience of Mr.
Maillefert; they themselves had little,
if any, personal knowledge of the bar of
Charleston, and I suspect very few, if
any, of them remembered that two boards
of distinguished United States officers in
1852 had condemned all the , Southern
-channels of Charleston bar, which includes
the Pumpkin Hill Channel, and had
pronounced it "inexpedient, not to say
nnicl*e, either to attempt to open or improve
them."
"The bar of Charleston is our sick, de
formed child, and we desire the aid of
able and experienced physicians, Kke the
United States engineers, to prescribe for
and to cure it."

To the Editor of the Beaufort Tribune
:
Two articles have recently appeared
in your paper sigued "E" in relation to
the Prescott Fund, the Trustee of which,
Mr. W. F. Hutson, resides in Orangeburg-as
I have been acting as his agent
here since the war, n reply from me may
be deemed appropriate. It was not my
1 A ?|\AI\A nAA
purpose However 10 mase auj resj?uu?;
in behalf of the Trustee to the first communication,
and I should not now reply
to the seeoud, were ft not that the writer
iu the latter part of the same by implication
accuses the Trustee of dereliction
in duty in his fiduciary capacity. It
is to be regretted that he did not append
his name to the communications in
order that the public might know
whether or not to attach any importance
to them. i
But as it is to be presumed that the i
motives of the writer are disinterested ]
and directed to the good of the public I
f will proceed to correct some inaccu- j
racies and to give the public a lew items i
relating to the history of the Fund and j
its administration, derived from the j
knowledge of the Trustee and others i
Mrs. Frescott many years ago in ]
making her will disposed of her Estate <
bv various specific legacies ( she was not i
child-less. ) The lawyer who drew the j
i ^ i ? a.i Zi !
wiii-mentionea. 10 ner umt it ??.-? *;i?- |
tomary to insert a rewdttary clause;
otherwise, if any property was undiaposed
of, she would die intestate; as to
that she said the specific legacies would
ibsorh'her entire estate, but upon fur- 1
ther advice, she concluded to insert a 1
residuary clause in the Will, whereby *
she gave "all the rest and residue" of
her property to the poor of Prince '
Williams Parish. As it was known that 1
she was penurious, a search for money :
was made after her death aud con- (
siderable sums were found in the bedding,
furniture and the wainscottiDg of (
the house in which she lived; and tradi- (
tion says, that the house was pulled k
down to discover the money hoarded by *
her. 2
About five thousand dollars and not 1
forty as stated by "E" wa^ discovered, ^
which constituted the residuum of her
Estate. This amount accumulated for ]
ome time in the hands of the Executor, c
Mr. Fiaser, and was turned over to the f
Trustee appointed by the court of Equity (
the first in the recollection of the a
present Trustee being Judge Colcock. v
t'p to that time there is no record or v
legend showing that any poor person t
was a beneficiary of the'Fund. There c
were very few paupers in the county then a
and all were averse to become benefiaries x
ot the Fund. I am so informed by {
Mr. Win. F. Colcock the son of Judge t
Co'.cock who will also corroborate all i
the statements made iu this communi- a
cation. Judge Coloock then bought a
tract of land known ever since as the
' Preseott Farm," a d put a teacher lor 1
the poor children upon it, Mr. Lug. a
The school was kept up for some time v
with various Teachers. Mr. John ^
Outhbert one of the Trustees who sue- c
ceeded, extended the number of tho 11
poor as beneficaries. Mr. John Colcock v
afterwards became Trustee and so con- ^
tinned until his removal to Charleston, x
"?>nointcd-who *
death in J>40, when me present Trustee j i
was appoiuted. During all the period j ?
Mentioned the Trustees were invested
with discretionary power and exercised
the same in supporting the beneficiaries
:ind keeping up schools. When the
present Trustee took charge, he kept
up a school or two for some time aud
paid out the income of the Fund to some
extent to the beneficiaries. He always
insisted however that it was a misdiree
tion of Mrs. Fresco tts bounty to feed the
poor, for it was in reality giving it tu the
tax payers, who were thus saved from
the poor tax which all other counties
paid. The Fund accumulated in his j
hands until the Corpus at the beginning i
of the war amounted to about thirty
thousand dollars. This amount was
securely invested at the time in mortgages
of real Estate and slaves principally
in the low country where the
securities were most available. But
the depreciation of land in all sections
and especially in the low county, occasioned
by the results of the war, was
almost as disastrous to the investments
of the Fund as the emancipation of the
slaves. The result was, after the war
it required a long time to realize anything
upon the securities which were
reduced to bonds and mortgages on real
Estate. The Trustee immediately after
the war, at the first sitting of the court
of Equity, made an exhibit of the Fund
to the court, and obtained an order
from the Chancellor to foreclose all the
mortgages on the realty as soon as
practicable, to buy in the lands and dispose
of them a* soon as in the Trustees
judgment it was practicable and advantageous.
With the dispatch and
diligence known to every one in the
county whose good opinion is worth anything,
the Trustee placed all the bonds
and mortgages in suit immediately
afterwards and has from time time been
realizing for the Fund all which a prudent
and conscientious man could do in
the discharge of his duty. For a long
time the Trustee was compelled to advance
out of his own funds when money
was exceedingly scarce, money to pay
the taxes upon property which was
mortgaged to the Fund and the mortgage
could uot pay when the lands were
bought and owned by the Trustee, they
became exempt from taxation. It is
uot a matter of surprise that a large
portion of the Fund, about two thirds
was lost by the deprecited value of the
property upon whieh the Trustee held
mortgages. For instance a plantation
worth $10,000, before the war has since
sold for $2,000, and so on.
If any one in 4iKV vicinity or in
my own can show in comparison as
large a proportion of his Estate saved
through the disasters of the late war, I
would be glad to hear of it. What
venerable doctrine of the court of
jropriations, and that Moses and Lee are |
ixed up in the millions of fraud. Gen
Sutler is not prosecuting or defending
my of these people,
Governor Hampton has accepted an
nvitation to deliver an agricultural
ddress at the Winnebago County Fair, i
rliich will bo held in the city of Rock- j
ord, Illinois, beginning ou the lltli of
ieptcmber. It will be remembered that j
t was the Winnebago County Fair
ihich invited Hon. Jefferson Davis to j
lelivcr the annual address, and after- j
rards recalled the invitation, owing to
hx opposition manifested by the extreme
m towards Mr. Davis. !
nere iiua uceo u. n,tuiunu? public

ton lias been urged most strenuously to
accept the invitation, lie is alluded!

the supremacy of civil law, and evoked

"Advices from India report a steady j
increase in the cotton manufacturing!1
interests of "tliht CofllHry, and more
machinery is being made at the present,
time, rnd has been for a year or more
past for that far-off land than for Ameri- j
ea or any European city. Indeed, the;
mills of Manchester, England, and Lowell,
Massachusetts, could find active
employment to-day in India, whereas
they now stand, for the most of the time
idle. In the vicinity of Bombay, where
there was once but two cotton manufactories,
there are now about forty, and the
progress is onward. England has lost
her grip upon her hitherto lucrative
India trade, and India is manufacturing
for herself. It is a revolution in the
trade, ond the sauie revolution is being
every month more and more felt in our
own Eastern manufactories. Where
these once had an immensely profitable
business with the South they now have
next to no business, because of the South
steadily building its own factories.'*

Equity that a Trustee is expected only
to exercise that diligence in the management
of the funds of Ids cestui que
trust that a prudent mati would do in
the management of his own affiirs, is
the true test to be applied here. Further-the
Trustee lias always rendered
regular returns to the proper court
during his management up to ih j
prcseut time. It lias only been in the
past two years that tin Fund has been
in a condition enabling the Trustee \
to apply the interest to the purpo-es for
which in his judgment it was designed.
Ho is satisfied that the application o
the interest in the present condition of
the country to the support of schools i.best.
The amount of interest has not
been sufficient to benefit all the poo
and the Trustee must necessarily us*,
the discretion with which he has been
invested, and will continue to do s'?*
in appropriating the same in that direction
