' WHAT IS TIIE GAME! In an obscure corner, in small ( type, without a heading, and with no editorial notice, in the paper |; owned by the county treasurer ap- < pearod last week a very important notice to the creditors of the county, viz : that holders of claims against fhe county, arc to come in and%cg- j Jster such claims in thirty days from date. It i3 dated April 1, and first appears April 11. The notice says they are required to reg- , ister within thirty days. The law printed above the notice says that : the registration is to be made thirty days after the passage of the joint resolution, which was approved Feb. 26, 1873. Consequently the treasurer's notice is published a couple of weeks after the time fixed in the act has expired. Is there a little game concocted betwoeu certain officials to have this registration necessity kept a^ quiet as possible ? Then to shut down on all that are too/late, but - l ?*:ii Otter to Duy up county paper at miu greater discount tlian it is now because not registered. Who are in it ? which of the county commissioners ? The county commissioners knew of this act long ago. It was passed at their instar.ee. If they meant to enforce its provisions they + should have taken care to have in- ( formed the people by every means , in their power. Instead of this ; they have left the notice to appear for the first time to the readers ( of the ltBPUBLlCAN, when two thirds of the time for registration is past, , even accepting the (late of the I treasurer as valid. 1 They cannot cast the responsibility upon the treasurer alone. The , people will hold them equally with < him as derelict in thciixluty. If no i harm comes, as we believe, for the law is worthless, it is not their fault , THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC AND PORT ROYAL, Look at a railroad map of the . United States; put jour finger up. on El Paso, Texas; trace the course of the proposed Southern Pacific ' railroad toward Shreveport, La., thence to Vicksburg, Jackson and Meridian, Miss., Selma and Montgomery, Ala., Columbus, Macon and Mi lien, Ga., and Ycmassee* to Port Royal. You will find that this is nearly as possible an air line, and that nearly the whole distance is a completed railroad. In fact, the entire distance may be accomplished by rail, with the exception of a link wanting between Millcn and Yemassce, although not in so direct a line as would be necessary if the Pacific road was complete. That Port Royal is the natural and certain eastern terminus of the Southern Pacific railroad is admitted by all railroad men. The object designed in building the Southern Pacific Road is to oh tain a line of transportation from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and vice versa, that will he open at all tiuies of the year, and not subject to the same difficulties experienced by the Northern Pacific roads, which are blocked by heavy snows on an average of three months in the year. Foreign capitalists are standing ready to make Port lloval the Atlantic port of this great enterprise. IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. Such persons as may be prepared to lodge ami otherwise provide for 8trangcrsoi>!the 24th and 25th of this month, the occasion of the sale at j Port Royal, will please send their names, with residence, kind of < accommodation offered, and number j of persons they desire to take, to < J. G. Thompson, office of this paper. Annual Meeting Port Royal It. R. < The annual meeting of the Port I! . 1 Royal Railroad stockholders is on | Tuesday the 29th instant., instead ( of Wednesday, the 30th, as hereto- . advertised. 1 i Although the Connecticut demo- j crats elected Iugcrsol by 5000 majority ^ and have a majority in the legislature, the republicans elected three congressmen ' out of four; so that th? victory is some- J what mixed. i T1IE BLUE RIDUE RAILROAD., South Carolina having abandonid the Blue Ridge railroad to the thieves jheaded by J. J. Paterson, Georgia is looking toward it with the intent to benefit her trade. Both Macon and Augusta have plans for railroads, in which the Blue Ridge road is to form a part. Macon proposes, in building a new road to Knoxville, to use 121 iniles of track already laid, embracing eight miles on the Macon and O O Augusta Railroad ; 40 miles on the Georgia to Atlanta, thence to O ' Gainesville, Anderson, S. C., Walhnlla. and on to Knoxville?leaving 254 miles to be built. Iler citizens vote next week 011 a proposition giving $200,000 toward this work. We think that Augusta has many advantages over Macon, as a point to which a railroad from Knoxville to the Atlantic should come. Ic must be remembered that the desire of the West is not to reach Charleston, Savannah, Macon, Augusta, or any particular town or locality. What the west wants, and must have, is a deep water harbor on the South Atlantic. If the Southern Railroad from Cincinnati is built it will seek for the best harbor on the coast, until it finds it. That it will come to the waters of this harbor is as certain as that it will be built. Augusta is therefore the point to which it must tend and thence to Port lloyal. Incendiary Fire. On Wednesday, the 0th inst., Mr. .T. N. Altaian, living about three miles from Aftuinns station, on the P. R. II., discovered his fence to be on fire. While trying to extinguish it, he learned that his stable and barn were burning. lie reached the spot only in time to cut the halters of a mule and colt and saving them. Another animal was got out of the fire but was so badly burned as to ilie. The rest of his .stock, two horses and a colt, were burned in the stable. Besides these he lost two hundred bushsis of cot n. Tlie fire was almost certainly the work of an incendiary. Mr. Altman L- O i-itiint i'liltwtrinils fitizen aild a COod neighbor to white and black, and it is difficult to understand the enmity which prompted such an aot. KJi-Scott, one of our native fishermen, while fishing for drum, hooked a turtle weighing about 150 lbs. lie brought it in ta the Sou Island Hotel. flQ^The cleaning of fish at the free landing has become a great nuisance. The entrails thrown on the beach and into the witer soon become very offensive to sight and smell. Our town mardial must find a remedy. CSUWhile the to?vn is improving Bay Street near the court-house, why not have the fences now on the street moved hack to the proper line. It will have t> be done some time aud it may as well be now as later. 9&FAuditor Langley has recievcd instructions to postpone the delinquent land sales until June 5th. The ship Webster, which cleared lately from Bull liver with 750 tons of phosphates is asliore on the Jersey coast. Her crew were saved, but the ship and cargo are likely to be a total loss. CO. .The'gas strike in New Yvrk failed; Germans taking the places of the Irish strik'-rs. . The good work on Bay street in front of the court house goes on rapidly. The humps in the street are being graded down and the holes lilled up. The gaps and washes in the river bank are now thoroughly repaired. The street is thus widened and put in a condition for the shells. t"J" The Fib it Boy met with an accident on Wednesday last in Bull river. She backed against a bank and injured her rudder, so that she was detained for two days. &ZT Since it is decided that the South Carolina railroad in subject to taxation in Charleston, its disposition to invest in real estate is checked. All not needed for the business of the road is to be sold. ESTTlie Kpi.-copal Church was beautifully decorated on Kastcr Sunday. A large congregation assembled for the morning service. VPS'Br.

Some of these are very desirable and can be had now very low compared to what they may bo after the auction sale. The artificial Drain Pipe offered by Waterhousc & Ricker, is an excellent article, at twenty per cent lower prices than it is selling for in Savannah. For chimneys it is highly recommended. Jas. (I. Daily & Bro., of Augusta, have everything in carpets, curtains, shades, oil cloth', fixtures, mats, etc., etc., usually found in first rate establish mcnts. You can order anything you may want C. 0.

Wilson & Rich are at work improving their Bay street property. Fifty feet arc to be added to the depth; the front is to be taken out and a glass front and doors put in its place; the floors are to be lowered to the street level, and when completed there will be two stores, the most attractive in the town. Alfred Williams inav be put down as a public benefactor. He has so renovated the Elliott House already that we begin to sec that it will be in a few weeks the handsomest house in town, instead of an unsightly ruin as heretofore. Now if he will attack the old Harbcrsham cottage and treat it in the same way, he will be again applauded. Arrived. The Schooner James Bliss, arrived here on Sunday last, 10 days from Boston. She was chartered by Geo. Waterhouse to bring a cargo ofassorted merchandise for him and will take out a cargo of lumber from Mauldin's, mill.

J. "But war's a game, which were their subjects wise. Kings would not play with." Cowper. As the events of the revolutionary war, its causes and results, are matters of historical record, it will be a work of supererogation to do more than refer to them here. Fort Lyttleton had been planned and partially built on a large scale, but had never reached its completion, except as a small work, during our colonial existence. Tradition charges upon the British authorities a most unpardonable blunder in connection with its construction : It is said that, when half finished, it was 1 discovered that the work was progressing on plans"designcd for Beaufort, North : Carolina, bv which its armament would * have been so placed that the guns would 1 all be directed towards the town. The ' work was therefore suspended, and final- 1 ly tlic design was so modified as to result ' in the erection of a much reduced fortifi- ' cation, receiving the name of "Lyttleton" ! in lionor of the Royal Governor under whose administration it had been origin- < ally designed. At the breaking out of 1 the war it was seized and occupied by the ' American patriots; but, upon the fall of ' Charleston, "it was blown Jup and aban- 1 doncd by our garrison. A tract entitled, ' "a short description of the Province of ' South Carolina," written in 1705 des- ' cribes it as follows: The fort has two 1 demi-bastions to the river, and one bastion to the land, with a gate and ditA; the barraeksarc very good, and will lodge j one hundred men, with their officers; , there are in it sixteen weighty cannon, not yet mounted, the platform and para pet wall not. being finished for want of money.'' The modest writer withheld his name, avowing that he was "an author 1 with reluctance." In 1 SI 2 a circular earth work was thrown ' up by the Americans, within the ruins, six eighteen pounders constituting its armament, and its name then changed to ' "Fort Marion." I have seen it lately . denominated "Fort Charlotte," but upon what authority I am at a loss to conjee- j ture. During the war of 1812 there was, in its immediate vicinity, u camp of 4(M> men under the command of Major Oswald, whose descendants arc prominent citizens of our sister county of Colleton. , The writer's father was one of that com- 1 mand. There was no Mood shed here 1 during that war, hostilities having been ^ iu a great measure, confined to the ocean , and hikes, where our infitnt navy gained its unfading laurels; or directed against 1 more important points than Port lloyul. i Our troops were not, however, without occasional alarms, the iuo*t exciting of which was caused by the arrival within our hur, of two British brigs. The tid- , ings were announced by the thunder of "'long Tom,'' a monitor stationed for .-ucli purpose, at Lauds Jin 1, and under the charge of'Capt. Jenkins, with a picket force. To the honor of our people let it here bo chronicled, that voluntccr.eaine forward, and taking two brass fo impounders across to Whitehall, dragged them, by hand, over that heavy road to J?ands lind, a distance of fifteen miles. ! The enemy communicated under flag of truce, both with Hilton Ilead and St. II lena, but there was were no hostile demonstration. Upon leaving the Harbor, the Coluber only escaped, her consort > going to pieces not far south of Bay Point. The ensuing flood brought in many articles, thus giving our men the fmit* ?:i? ti.? ? VI ?& UliUUUt 1L3 |'VI HO* illU't * two brass pieces were taken by Admiral Dupont at Bay Point, in Nov. IStil and sent as trophies to Washington. But our people did riot enjoy a similar immunity from danger in the war of'70. Among many others who devoted themselves to their country's cause in that memorable struggle, I feel it my duty to record the names of those belonging especially to our islands: Lieut. Benj' Wilkins, of our own town, was killed at the Half way House whither our troops, with a company of Port Royal Militia under Capt. Barnwell, had marched to encounter the British scut from Savannah to reduce and occupy Beaufort. The attempt was successfully resisted but the Americans, had eight men killed. Our historian says, "among them,Lieut. Wilkins, was the theme of universal lamentation. His country regretted (he fall of a worthy man, and an excellent" ( officer." His relatives still resident among ; ns, arc the children of the latcJno. T. ' Baker Esq. The father of our esteemed fellow citizen, Henry McKce, a native 1 of Ladies Island, volunteered at the age , of sixteen, and served through the entire ( war under General Lincoln. Jas. Lam- i both served under General Gates, ( an 1 wasengaged in the battle ofOatndcn. < Capt. Ta'bird is mentioned in terms of < praise by tue annalist of the times. Jaiucs T>oharty, an uncle of our fellow ( townsman, Mr. Talbird, fell a victim to j the weapons of the torics on a neighboring island. Had I the data before me, , I should, with much pleasure, record the names of all "who shared with them the 1 hour of weakness and of woe." But our ! community has been bereft of all its re- ( cords of the past. Its libraries, public and private, have been swept away by the ruthless hands oft ho late soldiery and hence this meagre tribute to the depart-' cd brave. The only remaining memorials of that war within our present view, arc the two redoubts in our north western suburbs, thrown up to command the approaches to the town by the public highway, now known as the shell road ; and the building already mentioned at the 1 corner of New and Port Republic streets, through which a cannon shot passed, i just over the head of its occupant, Mrs. ; R. Johnson, killing a horse near the site of the present Biptist church. It , was discharged from a British gun boat { - > hen lying in the stream. The dwelling iow occupied by Gabriel Haynes, at the :orner of Carteret and Port Republic, [ vas used as the head-quarters of the British officer Prevost,'durine the ocsupancy of Beaufort by the Royalists, tt is due to the memory of this officer to state, that he kept his men, quartered lere, under the strictest discip line,having promptly "put in irons" a party )f them who were reported to [ iim for attempted theft of silver plate from the above mentioned Mrs. Johnson. I have heard this incident From the lips of that venerable lady. The mrious reader will find a store ofinteristing anecdotes and personal sketches relating to the war, as connected with the people of these islands, in "Garden's Anecdotes of the revolution," a book iow rare, and I fear inaccssiblc to most, f not all of us. now resident here. This seven years war having resulted is is well known, in the independence of the colonics, thirteen in number, our people, at once, set themselves to repair the lamagcs, and, with all the energies bestowed upon them by a gracious ProviJeuce, to found a government on those iquitable principles which seemed to injure perpetuity and happiness. Here we must leave the consideration { if nnlitienl matters, as foreign to our ntir- 1 pose, and give our attention, as already * indicated, to those public institutions, ( Educational, literary, and elcmesynary, i which rapidly sprang up in our midst, < Endowed and fostered by legislation ; and j largely patronized by the liberality of , aur public spirited citizens, illustrating j the sentiment of Milton that, "Peace hath her Victoria No less renowiied than war." Those institutions will be introduced , in my next, in which I hope to reach ] "the beginning of the end." War In Louisiana. The negro uiob which last week drove J the county 'officers out of Colfax Court- ; house in Grant Parish, La., were on Sunlay last attacked, in turn, by the whites. After a severe light, the court house, in 1 which about four hundred negroes were J gathered, was set 011 lire. The negroes , were shot as they left the burning buihl*ig. Eighty or ninety were killed and 1 wounded. Two or three whites were badly injured. c^yrr'- ? ? ( Death of Gen. Canity Gen.

A colored man indicted for assult in Charleston, being without counsel, the Court appointed Alpeoria Bradley to defend him. The nnnointcc eraciouslv accented, and took a chair and seated himself bv the prisoners, whereupon ore of the latter notified the judge of his feelings in the premises in this eri.-is: "31 r. Judge! 1 no want Bradley for Tend me: I ladder lef my case go so; I kin t.'II the jury do story well as he kin." The astonished counsel looked utterly chagrined, while a titter tan through the court-room. The accused was acquitted. Decision of the lT. S. Supreme C'ourl on The Homestead Act. The recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States on two eases up iroui (Jcorgia, in which the decisionof me Supreme Court of that State are reversed, are of great public interest, fhey are riot only of interest to the lega profession and to the parties concerned) but to all persons holding homestead ex" tmptions, and their creditors, 'and to all creditors who have claims dating back anterior to June I, ISti"). Some serious complications may grow out of those decisions, declaring the homestead act uu constitutional. The fol'owing brief statement of the decision we clip from the Macon Telerjntjili : 'Tn(!unn vs Barry, tlicconstitutionality of the ^homestead clause of the constitution of 1>0S arid of the laws passed in pitrsunncc thereof, was passed upon, (iuntt had applied to the Superior Court of Bandolidi eon ty for a ni'inilnniug to be directed to Barry, the sheriff of the eotintv, to require him to levy a certain n fa against one Ilart, issued upon judgment for a debt contracted before the adoption of the constitution of 180S, upon the property of said Hart, which had been set aside to him as a homestead under the act of 1868, upon the ground that act was unconstitutional and void, so far as it prevented the levy of such ft. fa, or provided for a larger amount of exemption than did the laws in existence at the time the debt was contracted. The Superior Court refused the mandaimu and the State Supreme Court affirmed their decision ; but upon writ oferror to that Court, the decision was reversed by the Supreme Court of the United States. The effect of this i9 to render void all a&signmcnts of homestead and exemptions of personalty , under the act of 1868, so far as they may affect debts contracted before the adoption of the Constitution of 1868. A Ku-Xlux Raid. The Edgefield Advertiser of the 10th ( nstantsays: "On Monday night last, as re learn, a party of Georgians, three or bur in number, visited the plantation of dr.

This docs not sound sound, but it is sound. Your milk and water people, who content themselves with simply doing no harm, at the samo ;imc never do any good. They arc mere negatives. Your man of force, who docs tot wait for a stone to get out off his heaven-appointed way, but manfully rolls t over, may unintentionally hurt somebody's toes in the act; but thousands who will have to travel that way will ibank him for clearing it. The man or woriiau who has no enemies is generally a deck, creeping, cowardly creature, caring Cor no one hut then selves; smirking and creeping his unchallenged way to the ibscurity he merits. He adds nothing to the common stock, docs no good in the world, and is lowered into his six feet of earth without one sincere regret, from ammo. lie has had no enemies; but has lie had a friend?

The Post Office Departmei# has made in.order that postmasters whose salaries Jo not exceed Si.000 per annum may be permit ed to bold local civil offices, such is probate judge, town clerk, etc. Heretofore the amount lias bccu restricted to ?;i00, and numerous instances have conic to the knowledge of the department that real hardship would result if postmasters were obliged to throw up that salary to hold little local offices. * ?Brigbam Young says that his resignation as trustee in trust for the church and as the president of the Zion Co-opcrii'ivo Mercantile ^Institution and the I>eseret National Bank is made solely from a desire to be relieved from secular care mid responsibility, and do not affect bis position as president of the church, in which capacity he will still exercise supervision over ilie business, both ecclesiastical and secular, leaving the minutiae to younger men.
