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.

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.

DEATH OF IL S. BENNETT.
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.

Egglcston of the Carolinas, opened the
. ^all by letting go a grounder t.i lelt field ,

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- !

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

* unluckily expired on a foul caught by
Harrison who "fixed" McNeltv in the

in a whitewash for the Carolinas.

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

clared foul by the umpire ; took it over I
again but was left on third bv Knauff

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

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
