fwtnj. For the Beaufort Republican. "Memorial Day," May 30, 1S72. We gatlier here again, once more, where many a Soldier sleeping, His last fight over, rests secure, in God's eternal keeping ; And recks not whether friend or foe, pi^s by his silent dwelling, Whose verdant roof, he-crowned with flowers, of summer days is telling. No clash of arms, or sulleu roar of battle SLltt'i avtaivcu These quiet ones, whose lasi grand march bo long ago was taken; Nor bugle blast, nor roll of drum, shall { call them from their slumbers, : Or break the perfect peace that reigns,! o'er their uncounted numbers. ' Yet dead, the nation mourns her sons, and ! v bound by sacre1 duty, Guards their remains as precious dust, J and strews their graves with beauty, ! The beauty that glad nature yields, her wealth so freely giving, Memorials to her heroes slain, and homage from the living. The hour, the place, the sleeping host; j what eulogy could render, More fitting tribute than we pay, more eloquent, or tender; And as upon each mound we lay a victors' wreath of laurel, Remembering only bow they fought, and not the ground of quarrel; j Let Peace too, drop he)- Olive boughs, a- , bove the coffined sleej>eis, And War, whose fearful mandates gave these harvests to the r capers, Be only known in coming days, through what it wrought of sorrow, The night of pain forgotten, in the glory j rf the morrow. To the Rain?May 11, 1S72. A sffOl Prima Donna this morning came And a beautiful song *h" sting; Fhe did not come with a blazoned name. Aud she sang in her native tongue. Her notes were liquid aud sweet and pure, Hut they spoke to our very soul? We felt each pulse of our hearts was truer For their low, melodious roll? We have heard sweet singer* from every dime, And have .owed to their magic skill, They sp -r.k to us nobly in tones sublime, Ami we listen and listen still.

Facts for the ( rand Jury. T> the E'.'dorof t\c Republican: Dear 8ir:?la drawing your atten* tion to the doings of our couuty commissioners, I am moved by no spirit of personal hostility or private grievance towards the board as individuals?on the oilier hand, I make no apology here or elsewhere f>>r questioning the public conduct of these men. Iu 1871, the State legislature passed a law to preveut the county commissioners from issuing checks upon au empty treasury. Our coinmirsioners have for the past two months. Ihcu openly violating this law by issuing cheeks in the moat reekkss manner, and without regard to the reports from the treasuur. On the 22nd of Ft brr.ary of this year hey Fsued checks for v?i-(>, with no report from the treasurer and not one dollar op hand. On March 10th with report from the treasurer showing SI 12 on hand, checks were issued for $">81; April 2nd, checks were issued for over *1K>0; no money 1 on hand and no report from the treasurer. April 10th, treasurer reported SI.85 on hand, and the commissioners issued checks for ?701.50. That Is to say in four meetings these geutlemea have received but two reports from the treasurer one of which showed $142, and the other $1.85 on hand and issued checks for about S2700. In addition to this, they have un justly discriminated among the ere d itora the county by issuing checks ? rmwrnrmm** -*BWTT ?w L-'^M^-MnrarMraanvraa a favored few for claims not a month old?while others have been waiting for checks nearly a year. These facts and figures I take mainly from reports as they have appeared from time to time in the Republican, and yet I have looked in vain for any remonstrance against this outrageous, wilful violation of the law. These men at their meeting on the lt>th of Aprii inst, considered a resolution providing for the removal of their clerk for neglect of duty. How would it work to have the clerk : fnrnich Cranil .Tnrv withlfi correct report of the proceedings of the county commissioners for the past two months? We look to you to remedy this by directing attention to it. If this management of affairs be not properly characterized as blind?then alas for public virtue and the funds. C. Atciiem. NEITHER JUST NOR GENEROUS. Editor of the Republican : Sr.aAs an i*em of public interest, permit me through your columns to advert to a matter which through the action of the town authorities has already created some excitement in certain sections of the town, and seems likely to produce a Very considerable amount of feeling, unless the system adopted is made general, so that all may suffer alike, or be alike benefitted. I allude to the employment of a surveyor to run out the lines of the streets, with the view as it appears to be understood, of coropeliug any unfortunate householder who may have en j croached by a foot or two upon the J highway in erecting his enclosure, or ' taken in a lot of vacant and unused ; space in front "f his lot, to tear down ! whatever lie has built, for some purpose unknown to any citizens, save the six who aie clothed with the power of the ! city fathers. I believe that my owu f-. noes are : ?v iU.. a KaI K /if 1 lin i v% nn iu i-iiu i mi. a ui j?u i > v j ? uvvu ui wiiv j ancient times and of the more recent measurement, and thus I cannot he deemed predjudiced or accused of faultfinding on slfUb grounds, nor would 1 say anything at ail if the initial stepR had cons'sted of a notice to those iiv- J ing on Bay street, aud in prominent places, whose doorsteps, front piazzas, j and balconies have ahcay* been entire- j ly in the street, that they must be re- , moved for the accommodation of the j ciiiz ns: but when the colored man ! who has succeeded by haul labor for i the p-.si ten wars u s: curing a little lot hi the remote ou'skirts of the town, j .ir.d has unwittingly trenched a few e? t upon the limbs of a wide street. 1 (mur times wider than any other.; which do?s not and cannot possibly jr.- j c mvenience any business or pleasuie ti a flic, is ask?-d to incur the expense ami trouble < f removing nis f- necs or build'Ugs, while, nothing is said con ceruing the space occuphd by the cili- i z ms doing business in a narrow street, and i\a:'y obstructing the sidewalk-} j It app' U-s to me to b?ar the lo- k * !'' oppressiveness, ai d if an ordinance be passed, as is threatened, of gross im quality, if the effort be made to rtstrict lotowtieis to the precise line <>f the streets, let it be general aud not so thoroughly invidious as to seem a scheme to strike at particular individuals. Without mentioning names, 1 "> ' .lw, nrilu OOg ll'avc ID ua>l IIIC aitl lliiwu . ?.vc??uucil to a lot on the coiner of the block Luxteas-t of the council Louse, whereon a house stand which must have been bu;li forty years ago, the entire piazza of which projects iut > the street; and it is one of the narrowest streets in the to/ n. ,\[ weover the body of the same house isbrgilyiu the transverse street. When the march of improve on nt really roaches our old town, and we have actually begun to build up its waste places, it will be time to a?k those who have used the space which the town had allowed for two hundred years to remain unappropriated, to relinquish what does not, belong to them; in the mean time let us be just as well as generous; just by making no discrimination; generous by lilting well enough alone.

The l>oiriis Diploma iiusimvs. The Pennsylvania legislate e, says the Philadelphia ]JL<patch, has auuulled the charter of the Eclectic College, of Pa , of which Dr. Johu liuchanau is dean. Also, of the American College alia3 t!ie E;lectic College of Phila , a' las the Philadelphia University of Medicine, of which the notorious Dr. U'm. Paine has been the principal. Titer, asou for this action was because these institutions hid become bogus diploma shops and puldh d out the degree of Doctor of Medicine to auy body who had money to buy them, without regard to thtir merits or kuowl. dge of medicine. ?ii ?I of Dd'Sy Vn.den. Mr. Chailes Augustus Muggins committed suicide at Memphis, Term. He was a very sensitive man. He was an earnest disp:ser of innovations. The follit satid frivolities of the times were distraction to him. Of late his especial horror was Dolly Vaiden. lie battled nianruliy against his ineffahle repngnauce to Dolly Yarden hats, Dolly Yarden hoots, Dolly Varden cravats aud Doll} Varden segars, and he did not wholly yield at the appearance of the Dolly Vardin cock tail; but when his cruel and inconsiderate landlady, in utter disregard of his sensibilities, confronted him yesterday morning with Dolly Vardeu hash for breakfast hi? mighty heart gave way. Let us hope that in laying violent hands upon himself h* did not forfeit histitle to a home in that beautiful land where the Dolly Varden rages not and the bash fiend may not come.?Charleston Courier, - -. / ?= Tft I>I m ^ SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. 0 Ar TO THE CITIZENS OF BEAUFORT CO. / i c J)OX'T FAIL TO STOP AT an.
