The Morton Bliss Bond Suit.

held by therm These bonds include
five classes and would seem to i^uthoiize
a levy for the whole amount of inter*,
st doe opou the bonded debt of the
State. This would take about two
millions of dol'ars out of * be people for
interest alone. Are we to pay a thirty

au emigration in the spring.

safety towards cleaning and purifying
the town, do it at one.'. We have two

encounter, and if wo get through them
without the appearance of any epidemic
or infectious diseases, it will be owing
more to kind Providence) than any precaution
taken either by our municipal or
state authorities. The first matter
that ought to attract the attcntiou of
the board is the filling in of the dock in
the rear of the Standard office with
garbage aud filth from the streets. The

/ Captains Evan's Statement
j "My ship, the Lady DufTcrin, arrived
: ?t. Port Royal bar on Thursday, 21st
j of August, at ?28, ]>. m. We crossed
I 4he bar at 3. jt in., card ing thirty feel
! ?if water o^er the bar, at two Lour s tide.
My ship was drawing nineteen feet.?
From the bar to Bay IVkit I fou d
right or leu fathom* water. From Bay
Point to the wharf I found five to six
Jathows of. water. We arrived at the
? wharf at 0:3(1, p. m., and without tlie
\ aid of a tug. This was my second trip.
\ (In the first trip the ship drew tweutvonc
fcet, aod readied the wlmrf without
ihe aid of a tug, and would have done so
jn.-t as ea ily had the ship drawn twentysixNect,
which is the draught of the
Groabs. Eastern?the largest ship afloat.
The Lldy J>u">rin is now discharging
one hundiOdaud twenty tons of cotton
ties, from onelwtt'h . I assert that if
{>ushed to do so, T>?*uL]jjischargc three,
inndred tons m r day. "Thtr-t,urgo'Ts|
taken lioiu the ship staightway, and '
without cxijetiMj ol wharfage or drayage j
is placed on tbe ears and landed in Augusta
the following day. I was offered
freight for Liverpool at Port Royal, l?ut
eouid not take it because with the cargo
for Savannah niy ship would be loaded
down to a depth which would preclude
ray going bn'onl Veuu< Point, ten
tuiles from Savannah. For ships of
heavy draught, I consider Port Royal
the best port on tire South Atlxulic
coast.''
Capt. Evans is'an old and expe.Ineed
seauian, and his testimony in favor
of Port l oyal is most positive, lie
states that cveu the necessity of a pilot is
done away with at this port, ard its advantages,
especially for large vessels,
are apparent at a glance. With the
cargo which he had on board it would
have been impossible for him" to have
reached Savannah under ten or twelve
days after the time he arrived at Port
Royal, as lie wo'.iiJ have been obliged to j
wait for a flood tide before the Lady
Pafferin could have proceeded to the
former city, drawing, as ske did nineteen
feet of water.
The extract from the letter of the
managing partner of the Amcriean iron
Tie Company, published by us yesterday,
and the statement r.f Cant. Evans,
softies beyond a doubt the quc-tron as to
whom the ship was consigned, as well

advantages of i oi l Royal.?AttgmUi

A Visitor's Views of Beaufort.
W. J. Warrington writing to the S.ivannah
Xetcs, say-:
A few days ai-o I visitnl the " National
Ceuietery, " The grounds are surrounded
by a neat white feuec, and near
the entrauceis a liberty pole, from which
floats the "stars and stripes. " Around
the pole is a eircuJar road from which
branches seven others-, those are trussed
by circular roads?dividing the groundinio
triangular bed.-, and in these beds :
are ten thousand graves, so arranged
that the heal board, all face the liberty
pole. At the foot of the eeutra! road is
a plain and unpretending monument,
upon which is the in.-cription :

Erected by the efforts of Mrs. L. L. P. !
I was curious to knew how many of
these graves contained the remains of
Federal dead, and as J -too*] alone?yet
not alone, for there was a liook ofturkeys
and souie horses quietly feeding among
t he graves?I thought of how many
houies were desolat--; how many knew i
not wltcre their dead were laid, and how
uiuuy brave youths had met an untiiueiy '
death, when 1 was recalled from luy lev

the lowlands of the state are peculiarly
adapted to the culture of rice. Indigo '
has been cultivated with great success.

lure ot the grape has proved quite a sue- p
cess. The i.-himis are famed li?r the ^
quality of their-ooiton; they also produce
corn and potatoes in great abundance. I w
know of no lands iu the West that offer
greater inducements to the emigrant, ji
Here those from "La Belle Franoe'' and u
" Sunny Spain," will lind a climate .

the State will be able to Tree herself b
from carpet bag rule, and again bloom in
all her pristine beauty. j
When present railroad schemes arc ^
consummated, the people will have the j
advantage of exporting their produce to "
a'l markets on the Atlantic coast. The
State carl show as "hale and hearty a J
population as dwell upou earth, " and to
those who are willing to work, success is
certain. The city of Beaufort is delightfully
situated, and is noted for the
longevity of its 7>eople ; the streets are t
bordered with majestic live oaks, whose j(
spreading bronchis Mould fain conceal
the dilapidated mansions beyond, the re- a
suit of dcpotisiu which so long has ruled c
the State, Since rhc war a splendid hotel
has been erected ; it is handsomely t
furnished and well kept. The rooms are t
largo sind airy, the beds clean?that great
boon to the traveler; ihc table is sup- J
plied with all the markets, and the wait- ?
ers uiost attentive. It, on the whole, is.
a model hotel. There are also a number <%
of mansions, which have passed l'roin the j n
hands of the original owners and the j ?
clutches of the Government, that have r
been repaired, and present a fine ap- t
pearancc- It is to bo hoped that the
tide of eiuigraiion will turn this way, and i
that ere many years the lands once agaiu J
yield their abundant crops.

DISHONEST RAILROAD MEN. J
A Defalcation Unearthed in the Georgia '
Railroad.
i
A great defalcation ou the part of P. t
\V. Printup, road master; IE \\'. Rhodes t
general freight agent, and J. S. Shipley, ^
supervisor, all officials of the Georgia
railroad, has been unearthed by Carlton
Ililirvc-, the auditor of the road. These
f
robbciies have been under investigation j
since last May, and have now been fully i
developed.
The most prom incut official of the road v
.named in collection with these pccula- {
tioas was P. W, Printup, road master, i
who has b6en iadentified v.ith the road (
for thirty years, filling responsible posi- "
tion?, and, so ?ir as we can learn, without f
the slightest previous suspicion of his j
iutegrity and perfect lair dealing. Upon |
iiirn rumor charged (tor wc do not pro- 1
fessto speak strictly by the card) the j
use of tliCTOad in Lis official capacity to \
advance lis private fortune, by the <
transportation of giain and other supplies J
necessary tu run his plantations. As road i
master ho had full control of the mat- '
tor of supplying the .umber, timber, 1
cross ties .iwd wu/id necessary for the use *>
ot the road, lys accounts for the pur- 1
chase of theseXuppHes nccesssarily came t
under the mitico of the auditor. The s
accounts fyrlumbcr, as furnished to the j c
auditorj/ctffice, are reported to have c
beep^wrtlingly ia (access of the amount l(
-*tueh could tic traced to consumption 'J
for road purposes. After funds had r
been placed i:i his hands, with which to >'
pay for cross-ties purchased for the road, n
it is alleged that claims were made out c
against ttie road for payment tor those "
identical purchases. Other irreguiari- h
ties in his accounts were reported, re- J1
suiting in a loss to the road ol several ?
thousands of dollars?placed at from "
!?'J!>,000 to $1X0,000. h
The next most prominent official charg- Sl
ed with having his hands tainted with u
these peculations and misappropriation of 1
money which should have goue iuto t!;e t
treasury of the company was Jl. W. v
Rhodes, general freight agent of the road 11
at ihis point for the past three years, and a
for the past thirteen or fourteen years con j"1
ncctcd with the road in various official ''
capacities. To the het'er understanding J1
of the charges agiust Mr. Khodes.it is *
necessary to state that in his official ca- -1
pacity he had control of what is known as J1
" lost freight" which accumulated at '<
this poin4. Frequently when owners w
presented their claims to the road for 0
freight lust in transportation, such claims "
were promptly paid, the missing freight ti
becoming the property ofthe road when- *j
ever it turned up. Mr. Rhodes was tl
charge 1 with converting thi< ireight from t:
time to time to his own u.-e, and with the "
appropriation ofa portion of the proceeds tl
of its sale, lie was al>?? charged (so says o
rumor) with having retained in his possesion
considerable nmouuts of money S
cillccted through him from the Qua* er
master's Department ofthe l.'nited States
(iovernmcnt for transportation of troops, p
The loss of t he road through these irregulariti
s we have heard placed at 57,000 I
to X,<K)0 4 |
The above named officials have been p
removed and others appointed in their (
place. No arrests have been made. It is
also understood that the entire force in
the Road Master"s and supervisor's Re
part incuts l?a> been disini scd, and that
new men will bis appointed. s

The Right of States to tax Freight. '
?The following points of a decision by .*
he Supreme Court ef Hie United States, 5
a the case of"fhe Reading Railroad Co.. (
gainst Pennsylvania, will interest all i
onnectcd witii railroad transportat:on : 1
1. The transportation of freight, or of '
he subjects of coin luerccj is a coustituional
part of commerce itself.
2. A tax upon freight, transported from '
state to State, is a regulation ofcommcrcc ''
uiong the States.
3. Whenever the subjects, in regard to 1
vhich a power to regulate commerce is 1
isserted, arc in their nature national, or
iduiit of one uniform system or plan of j
egnlation, they arc exclusively within ]
he regulating control of Congress.
4. Transportation of passengers or '
Merchandise through a State, or from one J
State to another, is of this nature. !
5. Hence a statute of a State imposing 1
i tax upon freight, taken up within the I
State and carried out of it, or taken up
vithout a state and brought within it, is ^
epugnant to that provision of the Conititution
of the United States which orlains
that "Congress shall have power j
o regulate commerce with foreign naions
arid among the several States and
vitli the Indian tribes.

The adoration which a young man l

sonsciousness that they are mere wave j
ind ripples in an unfathomable ocean of i
ovc and beauty; our emotion in its '
keenest moment passes iroiu expression 1
nto tiloncc, our love at its highest flood J
ushes beyond its object, and loses itself

THROUGHOUT THE WOULD.
If you tliink of buying a Sewing Machine it will
[>ny yutt to examine the records of those now in use
ind profit by experience. The 'Wheeler As
Wllaon stand* alone * the only Light
Banning Machine, axing the Itoiarjr
Hook, making a Lock Stltoh, alike on both
tides of the fabric sewed. All shuttle machines
waste [lower in drawing the shuttle back after the
ititch is formed, bringing double wear and strain
upon both machine ami operator, hi nee white outer
machines rapidly wear out, the Wheeler & W IN
ion lasts a lifetime, and proves an economical
Investment. Do not believe all that Is ^promised by
the ' Cheap" machine.-1, you should require proof that
years of use have tested their value. Money once
thrown away cannot br recovered.
Send for our circulars. Machines sold on easy
terms, or monthly payment taken. Old machines
put in order or received in exchange.
