THE PECKSNIFFS. The secretary of war says that he believes Gen. O. O. Howard to be honest, hot that he was surrounded by bad men, who robbed the government, the freedmen and the schools. We are tinwi of nnoh cmmmnn Thfl fartfl Rrfi that the Freedmans Bureau, from its inception to its close, was a fraud upon the people. It was a hospital for broken-down preachers and poverty sticken philanthropists* Gen. Howard used it unscrupulously for his own political advancement and his pecuniary advantage. His office was crowded with the most disgusting lot of Pecksniffs ever congregated together. They used the money of the Bureau and the funds of the Freedmans Savings Bank as their private property, nearly if not quite, causing the ruin of the later institution. Ileal estate speculations, patent brick companies, Howard Presidential clubs, Freedman's hospitals, * colleges, schools, universities, model villages, agricultural schools, etc., furnished places for canting gospellers to prey upon. The money of the United States was used to start and. keep alive all these schemes. Decayed parsons became bank presidents, cashiers, principals, inspectors, professors, actuaries and secretaries at enormous salaries, often drawing at the same time pay from the Freed mans Bureau. We hope congress will ordor an investigating committee to thoroughly sift every department and institution with which Howard was connected. We are confident that a rotten, reckless, wasteful administration of affairs will be developed in every one of them. THE BOND QUESTION A correspondent of the Neves asserts that the taxpayers' counsel will be ready to institute their separate proceedings in a very feW days. All the necessary preliminaries have been pret ty much arranged, the plan and scope of the suit fixed upon, Ac. AttorneyGeneral Melton has consented to allow the use of his name so that one great stumbling block has been gotten over. A regular complaint will be filed in the Circuit Court on the part of certain citizens, taxpayers, &c., alleging the fraudulent character of certain of the bonds, the danger to the plaintiff* of a levy upon their property to pay the in terest upon said bonds, and a prayer for investigation, and relief 1 f Lhin ?nlt in nrniv.rlv nresaed befbre Judge Carpenter we think that do much light can be let in upon the question as will set at rest >11 question as to the validity of the conversion bonds. We must insist that the comptroller and Attorney General have a duty to perform in this matter. They havo asserted the existence of fraudulent bonds to the amount of seven millions of dollars. If there was a crime of this enormous character there must be one or more enormous criminals. Why were not criminal suits compenccd against them. If the state officers have sufficient evidence before them to pronounce seven millions of bonds to be fraudulent, they ought to have evidence enough to convict the men who put them upon the market. Mr. Parker late state treasurer, is certaiuly one of the most responsible of the late financial board. Why did the attorney general allow him to start for Europe ? It begins to look as if the assertions in regard to the fraudulent bonds were very recklessly made, or that while the administrationists hate the crime they ?? i??. ???.

Collin*, made a demand for the payment of certain checks held by him, issued by the old board, dated subsequent to September 1, 1872 but previous to November 1", 1872. The commissioners refused to order the payment of these checks, taking the ground that the fiscal year of the county commenced on November 1 of each year. Last week W. J. Verdicr Esq., appoard before Judge Mahcr, in Walterboro aud made application for a writ to compel the county commissioners to pay the claims of Mr. Collins. Judge Mahcr granted an order upon the commissioners to appear before him in Blackville, on the 16th iust., to show cause why they should not be ordered to pay the checks issued subsequent to Sept. 11 1872. Of course, the whole case will turn noon the time when the fiscal vear of the county begins and ends. If it should be determined that the year begins September I, a very largo number of claims will be subject to payment out of this year's tax levy and we may bid good bye to cash payments hero^ after. Wo shall regrot such a decision as it will upset the very satisfactory basis upon which tho county finances have been working sineo January last. ?Miss Susan B.

My thanks arc justly due you for the continued courtcssy with which you have u opened your columns to my rather ex- h tended reminiscences of " Beaufort and ? the Sea Islands. '' Much that was con- n tained in those numbers was of limited b interest to the majority of your readers ; ? and nnt. a few nf the sentiments so kindly r admitted by yourself, without erasure or [J comment, were known to be in conflict G with your own avowed opinions. Having tj thus enjoyed, at your hand,4' the free- g dom of the press," it is alike a pleas- Q ure and a duty to make this acknowledge r< ment through the same liberal channel. ^ I now ask the addition of another fa- * vor: Permit me to perpetuate the names of those who, natives of our Parish, gave e their lives for the "lost cause, " This a roll of honor is intended to contain alike P the names of those who fell on the field, |J who otherwise died in the service, and 8] those who, smitten with disease, survived tl the war for a brief time, only but were e never restored to heilth. I have done S1 my best to make it complete but my re- n sources for information have been meagre f indeed. If, therefore, there is any omibsion, I will be particularly grateful to any one who will furnish me the correc.. o tion. William II. Barnwell, Lieutenant, ^ J. Stuart Barnwell, ? Marion T.

It was suggested by the passenders on the train that the station at ^ Millett be discontinued, as a punishment y for such inhuman conduct, and that the county commissioners publish the law ? in regard to such matters. , Passenger. ^ The Rhett-Cooley Duel.

On the first day of the session at Indiaapolis, Prof. Chas. V. Riley, State Enamologist of Missouri, read a short paer in reference to the cotton worm of he South and its destruction. lie said hat it had had been his good fortune to xperiment in the cotton field, but from ts success in ridding the Northwest of he Colorado potatobug, and his experince in the destruction of pestiferous inocts generally, he would without hesitaion reoommend the use of Paris Green, ally believing that at a trifling cost?not xceeding thirtv or forty cents ner acre? he cotton could be saved and future raves be prevented. He said it was singular, in view of the act that the damages from this worm ad reached so much as twenty millions f dollars in a single week, that no jgislativo action had been taken for tho ppointmcnt of a commission to examine s to the nature and habits of this insect, nd to devise means for its destruction. v * ' ' - - -X* ossible to make observations. When bo struck Saturday afternoon objects nuld not be seen three yards ahead; he was going about nine knots wheu he stranded. Perfect order prevailed. Venty-eight cabin and four hundred and ighty-onc steerage passengers were safe7 landed by the ship's boats and siuall rafts attracted by the steamer's gun. 'he sea was calm. The distance to the lain land was only a quarter of a mile, 'he escape from total destruction of all n board was providential. IIopcs are ntertained that the steamer will be got ff if the calm continues. The ship has very valuable miscellaneous cargo. Out of 317 Congressmen and Senators bout 275 have gone into this $5,000 fueral business. No use, for partial friends nd newspapers that basic in their smiles o try to save them.

Many times boy-hood have we rambled about pickii up old clay pipes, and musket balls, ai broken pieces of crockbry ware, orginal belonging to what the domesticated Afi cans, our principal companions in tho days, gravely informed us were "Inji bottles." Often on a bright Saturday morning, day peculiarly loved by school boys, ha we laid down on the green grass und some one of the trees overhanging tl precipice and watched the coming steai boat as it tamed so gracefully th3 poi below the city, and glided by on its wi to the distant seaport; and longed "to a man" when we might take a passa and go aboard to see the world's wonde: But as the boat disappeared around t] bend of the stream, and we could ju catch a glimpse of tho smoke settling the horizon, we could only settle down the sad thought that we were only a be and gloomily watch the ferry boat as crossed slowly back and forth across tl river.

When ever we * speak of the Pain Killer, as in the proscnt instance, we do so in behalf of the afflicted, rather than with the view of jj8 advancing the interest of its proprietors. no For various diseases, such as rheumatism, ay cholera, cholcra-morbus, burns sprains, ko bruises, and so on to the end of the oataof logue, we are couvinced that there is no ad remedy before the people equal to Davis' in Vegetable "Pain-Killer," and we know ge that thousands upon thousands entertain the same belief. Certainly, wo cannot refer to the history of any medicine which , equals that of the Pain Killer. It was introduced in 1840, and from that time to V* this its sale, both at honm and abroad, has constantly and rapidly increased, and J'8 we rejoice at the high reputation it has achieved, because this reputation shows ur that is has been the means of relieving a vast amount of human suffering. Wo 3y hope the present proprietors of Davis Jr Vcgotablo "Pain Killer" will long live to enjoy the prosperity which they nave so he fairly won. he ? TO THE WEST! TO THE WFST!
