Kietasuu, who had been teacher iu tie High iscliool ut tins place fur several years, surrendered his charge .of the school iu vrder, as he stated, to take, charge of n tloiiri.-liing school itl Bhtckville.' About two weeks alter tiis tie part ure a few irregularities iu tho cutlorseiueiits of teachers' school cluiuis were dicovcrcd. These claims were dts-| posed of to a party in this place by Mr. Ilia-' matin in person, with the owners' names endorsed there.>u. It was supposed by the pitrchus er that the endorsements were genuine and that Mr. Kicuia.111 hud authority to dispose of them, x but the proper owners, in several instances, iu searching for their claims in the School commissioner's oilice, where Mr. Hictnunn had beer, employed us a clerk, found thcui miss itig, and a further search discovered them iu the hands uf the above named innocent purchaser, aud they emphatically pruuounced the endorsements thereon forgeries. Through the ex-, ceilent reputation which Mr. Kciinauu had huh 1 erto horno in the cotutuunity we, among others of our citizens, were at first lot It to believe thatj he had criminally involved himself, nud although his whereabouts was entirely unknown to his friends, wo charitably abstained from giving publicity to the prevailing suspiciou. Developmerits of the last Jay or two, however, have been o^iUJ^yjharucler that suspiciou has congealed * info cWvTctfon, nnJ it now becomes our duty to give such information as we possess to the public. Monday our County Treasurerreceived by express from tho Central National llank ot Columbia a package containing school claims to the amount of $1.70 23 for payment. Among these claims, all of which have been endorsed by the parties' names in whose favor they had been drawn, several wero pionouuced by the proper owners as forgeries. It is not yet known to what extent these Xorgct ics have been c trried, and Mr. J. B. Kyxcr, County School Co i mission er, has instructed the County Treasurer to pay nomove claims to which doubt as to the genuineness of endorsement attaches. Parties presoul ing tluir claims in person and properly endorsing I hem can collect without difficulty.?Lexing (on /Jifjiatch. Thk Votk in tiik Statu.?The olfieial report of tiie vote iu South Caroliua at the last election shows some surprising results. The whoh number of votes cast for the candidates fortlov ernor was 87,877. This is considerably les! than one-half of the cutirc vote in the State which, according to the Census of 1880, was 205,789' At the election of 1870 the total vote cast was 182,082. In 188U the total vote foi President was 170,970. The falling otf in tin vole, we presume, is accounted for by the sys tern of reguileriiig voiora which is now in force This registration lias unquestionably prevented repeating nud fraudulent votiug. and a sidcrnble number ot'persons failed to register.? The entire registered vote oflhcStitc. we lie licvc. is about 150,000, which is 56,781) less than the voting population according to the Un ited States Census. Dot ween HO,OOO and H6,00l white voters failed to register, and were uuabh to vote A significant feature of the election is the dis parity between the registered vote and the vote ns cast. Putting the registered vote at 150,000 then about 05,000 qualified voters did not vole or despositc 1 their ballots in boxes other than those provided by law. The greater part of tin difference, we imagine, is accounted foi by tin failure to vole. In tbe County of Charleston ? for example, the total vote for Governor was 4, 601, while the registered vote was over 8,000.? A considerable number of voles were lost by bo ing placed in the wrong ballct-boxes, and we pre sutne that a thousand voters or more were chni lenged at the polls as having registered fraudu lently. or ns being disqualified by reason ol conviction for crimes enumerated in the elcctioi law. It is evident, however, that a very considerable number of voters did not take tin trouble to vote at all. This is a serious and fai from reassuring circumstances of the election News and Courier. A doit Time this Brewster Farce Siioum Stop.?According to the ltevised Statutes of tht United 'States, ' There shall be at the seat ol government an executive department to hi known ns the Department of Justice, and nr Attorney-General, who shall be the head there of." The law furthermore provides that "caeli head of a department is entitle I to a salary ol ten thousand dollars a year, to be paid month ly." Benjamin II. Brewster, of Pennsylvania, i; now the attorney-general of the United States and receives ten thousand dollars a year of 11101103 lunen trom I fie people l>y taxation, upon the assumption that lie is pcrfoiming the duties ol his otlice. Let us inquire what lie is doing in fact. Docs he superintend and direct the affairs ol the Department of Justice? No. Does he conduct the Star route prosecutions, or even do what he might to promote their eflicieney by his presence at Washington during the progress of the ponding investigations ?? No. Does lie argue the important cases in which the Government is interested before the Supreme Court of (he United Slates ? No. lias lie written a single opinion of consequence since he beca:: c attorney-general? No. lias he not been wasting his liinc at the expense of the public and bringing contempt upon the high office he holds by travelling around the State of Pennsylvania as a suit of courier or valct dc place for members of the Chinese Legation at. Washington ? Yes. j It is about time that this sort of thing should' stop.

In view of t lie recent discussion on freights and general j discrimination, it would not be amiss to call the attention of tbo public to some curious facts' brought out by I lie exorbitant rate charged on' a bale of shirting from l'icdmont to Anderson.I The distance by rail is about thirty-two miles,j and I lie freight formerly was (55 cents a bale,] while now it is $1.40, an increase of over one hundred per cen. It can lie hauled by wagon cheaper and quicker. In fact, the management can nfford at that rate to put a bale of shirting! in a first class passenger coach so as to secure] us rapid transit, if nothing else, for Col. II. P Ilaminctt can travel?and he weighs about as much as a bale of three quarter shirting?from his factory to this point for less money than a bale of his in unpaclured goods, a first class tick-] et costing flirty ?
