I 1 The Largest Bona Fide Circulation. ' THE BONDS. In onr opinoa the Supreme court has decided that the entire bonded debt, reported by the comptroller to be nearly , siiteen millions of dollars, has been le- ( , gaily contracted and is a valid debt of the , State. The suits were brought upon five bonds of $1000 each, representing five different classes, amounting to an aggre-' , gate of $3,100,000. Every bond to which ( the taint of fraud lias ever been attached is represented in one or the other of the , bonds brought before the court. So ( that if these are valid, all arc valid. The court decides the validating bill to , be constitutional and effective, and that , bill legalizes every act of the financial , board. Ex-Oovcruor Scott, and Nilcs G Parker, cannot desire a more complete ( vindication. There is no need for any further judicial examination into the bond question. Nor is the legislature in ' a position to do any thing but provide the m )an3 to pay interest on the whole debt How is the general assembly to scale or compromise a debt decided to be valid, to raise the money to pay which, principal and interest, the copjptroller is ordered to levy taxes withor.c further action by the legislature, and which the oourt fc'ays the treasurer is to pay out without any appropriation, that having been done by the constitution ? Of course the comptroller may d'jjobey the order of the court. Or he atay misoonstrue it Or the treasurer may wait for a mandamus to compel hi'm to pay tie interest on doubtful bonib;. But so far as the supreme court can go, the whole boud question has Keen decided. Contempt of Court. It is a pity that th? Chronicle and Union-Herald did not discover some of the profound respect for the supreme court which tbey now parade previous to the bond decision. For weeks we heard nothing but warnings, insinuations, beseechings and threatenings in case a mandamus was granted. We were told that "unpleasant rumors0 were afloat; of a S'-positious body of republican 4 'bone and muscle" which was watching with sleepless vigilance every move of tho "conspirators" against the lab ->rers ; some one was watching Che "cold slimy folds of the serpentthe public credit was "quivering in its coil;" the "bl6od of the citizen was chilled by the dread of evil to erne" from the judical hand ; the "painful throbbing, the deep, revengeful beating, of the popular heart, which Will net suffer alone, if suffer it must" Was evident to theso editors before the 'decision. Wfc&t did it all mean ? Was it uothing tat a a stupid mistake ? Did they simply jump on one side of the fence while \he cat jumped on the other? Or, were they trying to bully the court? IIow suddenly they came down! Now all is lovely. Ilear Ihe Herald now." ''The Democratic press may howl as they please against the decision, hut Tilk Uniox IIkuald will recuguizo and support the law until the lawmaking power acts upon the case. "Joss so, judge 1" A COTTON PRESS AT POUT ROYAL. We have received a letter from Mr. George Bennett, stating that all the machinery for a largo and powerful cotton press has been shipped to Port Koyal by the schoouer 11. G. Ireland, which left New York on the 3d instant. As soon as it arrives the work of erection will begiu at once, and everything will be iu readiness for work bv the first of November. We hope to anuouucc in our nexi issue that a steamer Hue has been organized in London for this port C'apl. Evans, of the Lmly Du\hii.ty is to arrive early in December with a steam er lor a cargo for Europe. His experience of the facilities of Port Royal has | been already widely reported, lie anloads his ship hero at an excuse of only five cents per ton, while to take out the balance of his cargo at Savannah cost eleven cents per tou. These * little expenses saved make a very large aggregate aud ship-musters are not slow to take notice of them THE CHEAPEST AMI BEST. The work of extending the docks at Port Royal is raj idly progressing. Five hundred fcetuf additional w liar I will soon be ready, and at the same time work i> commenced on the lumber dock, which when completed will save expenses in nutting heavy timber into vessels. When these are done v.c shall have every facility for a very larg' cotnrtorce. Jly run ring the cars upon the wharf a very great saving i3 effected, 'flu freight got b direct to the car from the hold of the ship. On the recent shipment of five - hundred tons of cotton ties, Mr. Wallace cays he saved eleven hundred dollais over the amount paid for llie stiuu quati- ' tity imported through Charleston, the ' freight by ship aud rail being the suiue in Loth cases, l'lic whole saving occurred iu the drayiug aud handling in Charles- ( ton. Our Augusta and A.lauta ftien is should hear this iu mind. "N e see fa vanuuh lucu arc euj.av.uing to a waken interest iu direct trade. It is useless. Only .small steamers can go there. The Dttffcnn which laid up to our wharves with one thousand tons on board, had to be boomed out twelve feet from the dock iu Savannah after she had left half of her load here. It is hard to kick against the pricks. Let Savaunah merchants be wise iu time and secure their connections ind conveniences at l'ort Royal and have their importations sent through our port, where large steamers can come. Now is the accepted time. Don't wait until the trade passes iuto other hands and Jou Bod yourself nothing but a little decaying river town. Port Royal Known. When we started last month to go to the Abbeville railroad convention our thought was to let people know about Port Royal, but we found it was not necessary to say a word. Those at a distance seem to be even more fully alive to the advantages of our great port than our owo residents. No matter what line was proposed through the Blue Ridge, the aim of each was to reach deep water at Port Royal. Sassafras Gap was as anxious to do so as Rabun Gap. They might dispute on all other points but they remained unanimous on that. All were convinced that it would be useless to a6k the WeBt to build a railroad to the South Atlantic without assuring a deep water terminus, aad all were tqually convinced that it was here the desired harbor was to be found. At Abbeville, Anderson, Greenville, Ashvii\eT Henderson, the same interest in our future was expressed and we return satisfied that it is a question of a very short time when we shall see a populous commercial city on the waters of our spacious bay. Anderson llrst in the Held. On Monday last the citizens of the town of Anderson voted on the propos1 tion to subscribe fifty thousand dollars toward the stock of the Chicago and South Atlantic railroad. This is the right way to go to work. An election will probably soon be held to vote on a proposition to subscribe four hundred thousand dollars by the county of Anderson to the same enterprise. Now let our friends of Edgefield and Aiken counties immediately submit similar propositions to their people. Abbeville and Edgefield, could certainly afford to subscribe as much or more than Anderson, and Aiken ought to feel able to do nearly as much. Let them raise one million in the three counties by public and private subscription and they will have answered our challenge to "put up or shut up. " France Free. On the fifth instant the German occupation of France ceased. The enormous indemnity demanded by her brutal und greedy conqueror lias teen paid. Alsace and Lorraine, beside another strip of tcr-1 ritory fur the present are held by 1'russia. No event of the glorious history of France hascxhibilcd the energy and patriotism of her people in so bright a light as their eagerness to fulfil the hard conditions of the treaty. She will foster those energies and keep alive that patriotism in patient waiting until the time when she may mete out agian that which has been meted out to her, aud dcinaud again with interest that which she has just paid. The vigil may be long, but it will end, and France will forgot lie", humiliation in triumph, her revenge in a full expiation. May we be alive to see. AN UNSAFE BUILDING. Below we give the report of Geo. Gage nud 1). C. Wilson, upon the condition of the court house. The attention of the county commissioners was drawn to the subject by the grand jury last June. The delay in attending to the. matter should not be supplemented by a corresponding delay in strengthening the buildiDg, or we may have a slaughter equal to that which horrified the country when the court house lloor ia Rich mond fell some years ago. Every room in the decaying old structure is coudemued us unsafe. Any patchiug now done may do for a short time, but what we need, and must have, is a new court house. The title which the county has to the present ruin is at best defective, and we are opposed to spending any more money on it. A judgment has been obtained upon it by the bank for seven thousand dollars lent to the county. Let the judgment be foreclosed aud the old thing sold out. Dont spend thou sands upou its saud and oyster shell walls, scarcely able to stand their own weight. Let us have a good brick building erected, one that will be convenient, ornamental, safe aud creditable to the county. We hear of a proposition to build an addition of wood to the present delapiduted atlair, but we hope there is good sense enough in the board of commissioners not to spend any more money upon a wreck, or to build upon a lot to which we have a doubtful title.

A Lamentable Accident. [From the Cinckluati Gazett, Aug. 80.] Mr. R. S. Bennett, a general storekeeper at Beaufort, S. C., has been for two weeks past visiting with his wife, his brother, Mr. A. A. Bennett, of the firm of B. Kittredge & Co., the well known dealers in guns, pistols, and ammunition, on Main street, nearrourtn A few days ago Mrs. R. S. Benuetc went on to New York to visit some relatives and friends, and she was to have returned by the Short Line Express train, which should have arrived last evening at 5 o'clock. Mr. Bennett, impatient to see his wife, and anxious to know that she had made the long journey from New York, unattended as she was, in safety, was down to the Plum Street Depot with his brother's carriage at least half an hour before it was time for the train to arrive. lie was noticed by several persons to pace the platform impatiently as the minutes went slowly by. The train was delayed till a few minutes after 6 o'clock. When Mr. Bennett heard the whistle he rushed out to meet the train and board it, and find his wife and assist her to disembark. Having passed just outside the arch of the Central avenue bridge, it is believed that he sprang onto the platform of the palaoe car in which Mrs. Bennett would be, but as the train was rolling swiftly into the depot, he did not have time to swing himself fully in between the cars, hat the arch of the bridge struck his projecting body, knocking it from the train onto the ground, where it rolled under the wheels of th( Sandusky baggage-ear, which immediate ly followed the palace car of the Short Line train proper. The wheels wen braked hard and pushed the body along the track braising and catting it in i fiijh'.fal manner. For a minute or two the Body waj undiscovered, but a baggageman event ually saw it as it lay under the wheels and as speedily as possible it was ex tricated. Mr. Bennett lived a momen or so after he was discovered, but die not speak. Ho expired just as he wai lifted from the track. The youDg man in charge of the car ringe, wondering at last why Mr. am Mrs. Bennett did not appear, entcrcc the depot, and at once recognized thi body, and told the bystanders who it was but apparently no credence was given t< he statement. He immediately drove t< East Walnut Hills to the residence o Mr. A. A. Bennett, and informed tha family of the sad occurrence. Meantime a jury was impaneled anc testimony taken which led the jury t< believe that the deceased was a working man who was in the habit of going t< and from his work on the railroad track but none of the real facts were elicited and uo attention was paid to the repor that the body had been indentified bj the young man before meutioncd. Th( jury returned a verdict that the deceased name unknown, came to his death fron injuries received by the cars on tin Dayton Short Line track, under thi Central avenue bridge. No blame cai be attached to the railroad company, a the man must have jumped'off while thi train was coming in the depot. After the inquest the body was takci tn thi? nndcrtakiuir rooms ofW. II. Sord & Bro., 17G West Sixth street, where m a^ite liour last evening it was visited b; Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Bennett, and sucl temporary arrangements as were practi cable were made for it^care. Uutil th< arrival of Mrs. Bennett, who was not oi the train, no definite arrangements wil be made for the interment or removal o the body. Mr. Bennett was 34 years o age, and was engaged hi a saccessfu business in Beaufort. The event seems doubly sad and whet it is considered that Mrs. Bennett, no knowing of her widowhood, is now on lie way to meet her husband at this place to return with him to their home in thi South. Not until she reaches this cit; will sho learn of her unexpected ant overwhelming bereavement. roar. President Jackson, of the Port Roya railroad, is confident that the fpiestioi of a supply of fuel at Port Itoyal at i reasonably low price will soon be satisfac torily settled.

I j FIRST INNING Egglcston of the Carolinas, opened the . ^all by letting go a grounder t.i lelt field , , upon he made first, stole second and thud and finely came home on forced-and close 1 1 play. [Great applau ;c] Knautf meant i business, but Harrisson, catcher of the i Cosmopolitans, fixed him on a foul first . ' bou id. He retired, of course. Twenty five dollars on the Cosmopolitans, was 1 * the cry. Foley scut a red hot hall to 1 f centre field, which Kresscl look in out of l the cold, passed it to first, and put out | the striker. Schiflley sent a high fly,to right field, and after catcful playing 1 came home. Doogan tried that little 1 > game of euclirc by putting a fine one to l j left field, on which lie made second, and j } came home sometime afterward on a , passed ball. Twenty-five to twenty dol' lars on the Cosmopolitans was taken by 1 , a Charleston man. Roach after playing < t a foul game expired on three strikes, r and sent the Carolinas to the field. ' Wilson ol the Cosmopolitans, after one * or two strikes sent a red hot grounder to 1 , left field, on which lie made second, stole i third, and was brought home by Folitzcr ] E who cause a little excitement by making first on third strike, stole second and D third, and came sailing home on close 1 fly. Kresscl then tried his luck, which i s was not the best, as he tried a good hit j 2 to left field, but Foley happened to he i somowhat around there nud took Kres- ! sel's compliment, which he pns.-cd to first 1 deciding Kresscl out. Meredith sent a s fine fly to right field, which McGuirc ' . finolv tiiiifTi.il !inil irpoot tmtilniKii Meredith, alter reaching third, was ^ brought home by Plume. Lock wood, no 1 1 doubt, felt much grieved ou Wing de clared out on three strikes. Plume in> formed the Carolinas that Ire knew something about right held, and accordingly ^ put one there, but which McGuirc ' muffed. Harrison made his second ou f a fine hit to right field,, but was doomed f to remain on third; as Wallace, (the euchre nlavcr) sent a short ball to centre ' field, which McGuire took handsomely to Poogan on first, which ended Ilarris1 son ana the inning. t SECOND INNTNG. r Mcfruire after three strikes made first , on account of Harrison throwing two 2 high to Wilsorj ou first. He then made . h:s third, hut on trying to steal home j was trapped finely by lioyce, Touhcy * unluckily expired on a foul caught by Harrison who "fixed" McNeltv in the same manner. [Applause.] This resulted in a whitewash for the Carolinas. Boyce and Wilson both came home this 1 inning on fine id.iyiug Pulitzer expired i on a foil', and Kressel as before was ^ euchred by Foley's good nlay to first. Kggleston then informed ^Vlcroilitli that it was very dangerous to put any fouls in 7 his way, by taking one handso:. cly. THIRD INNING. 1 Kggleston led off" by sending a rattler 3 to right field, which caused Boyce, who i took it on the first hound, to stagger; r worked his passage home with the assist ~c v <r ....... ? ... _ iinru ui i\uauii| ?ii?j puiil a >imiui iu , right field, and was brought home by Foley, who kept the "ball a rolling" by J sending his compliments to- right fiuld, t and then worked his passage home. r Schiffley tried the short hall business, but Boyce proved equal to the emergency by "fixing" him on first with the as istauee of Wilson. Doogan made his mark on a good hit and close play. Koach took , first on three called balls and came home. t McGuire expired on a foul took finely by . Harrison, fouhoy scut a fine one to left field, made first, stole second and third ' and wasbrougltt home by McNelty, who I made ffrst on* a red hot one to centre field ; stole second uud third and came home . i on the thieviug arrangement. Egglcstuu sent a fine one to Ictt field, made ' second, but his good hit was then de- 1 clared foul by the umpire ; took it over I again but was left on third bv Knauff going out on fly toot finely by lVu'V.#, he eachre player.) Lock wood of the k osmos, took first on three balls; on at- r smpting to steal second was out fair, ut not so decided by the umpire, a!- ^ rough the majority ol' spectators said * at. Plume made a good hit to centre dd, ai d stole second on a ball thrown o 1 ret by Touhey, whose iutention vai to y take a double plao; the scheme was a I tilure, however, as his ball was too far ^ at of the way. The Carolinas thm ( imc in out of t'le field at the rcouest of v resident Jones. The umpire then atnowlcdgcd his desire to rcti e, and ai.* ther was appointed. Harrison rnai'e | ret on the third strike, (close play,) J lo'c second and third and carac non e. ^ lockwuod, also made home. Wallace )ok first on third strike but came to rief on the third by McGuire, with the ssistance of Knauff. Boyce then prernted McNelty with a fly, which he unexpected iy mutfed, made first and finally atne home. Harrison expired on first n good play of Doogan, assisted by Mcruire. Politzer died on three strikes If nd thus ended the longest inning of the F>ay ame. The excitement at this stage of ^ he game was intense, the game stauding Ra jn and ten. Ho THE FOURTH AND FIFTH INNINGS ?ldc rere played without any remarkable 8tlt( elding, nnd although the playing was upo ood on both sides, it began to dawn up- maf 11 the mind of the Beaufort boys for the tor rat time that they might possibly get inv< eaten. the SIXTH, SEVENTH AND EIGHTH INNING. These innings were nlnycd with spirit Ib? ut were one-sided altogether, two of tcn hem resulting in whitewashes for the t y'osmopolisans. The batting of the Caroinas became terrible. Eggleston made j he finest hit of tlje game and about the icst of the season, but when within bout four yards from the home plate, inishing his home run, he ataggerea ana ? uinted by over exertion. Boyce and Iarrison deserve csnccial mention for heir fine playing. The majority of the 'nsmopolicans attribute their defeat to he swift and deceiving pitching of I'ouhcy of the Caroliuas. Mr. Touhey, ivithout doubt,, is the main stay of the Jarolinas, as the Cosmopolitans are mob- 1,1 ibly aware of. The umpire called the ^ tame on the eight inning, on account of he approaching darkness ; but only by 0<! he consent of both captains. Previous be o the departure of the Caroliuas, they vere entertained by the Cosmopolitans Pitt the Sea Island Ilotel in afino collution >f refreshments, &c., the hospitality of he Beaufort Club.
