Official I'aafr of Beaufort Count -1
l
The late ^ecieta y of War Belknap,'
has placed himself in a po. iiio: that ipainful
to contemplate. An exposure of!
the most astounding character has Ihecn
made of his corruption in his ofii -ial char 1
acter; by his reejiving regularly ;h in^an >
of dollars from his ap olntees to trading
posts on the frontier, which will blast hi
refutation for all coming time and which
is all the more painful from th; fact it j
has implicated those bound to him by
the uio>t sacred tie-?that of wife and I
mother of his children.
General Belknap has a splendid war i
record, and in private and official lift-1
> was respected ai l esteemed, as a man
above leproach. and the dcveloper.icnt
of the facts against him, h is 1 eon a
shock to his frienls, and i shock to the alrni
narration, the evidence against h;L?i !
being so st: ong and the proof of hi-j
guilt so convincing.
He has tendered his resignation which
has been accepted by the President, yet 1
Congress is taking steps for his impeach- j
went wh'ch can accomplish nothing, i
Nothing Congress can do, can add to the
punishment of the degradation under
which Belknap is now suffering. They
can only remove him from an office from j
which he ha* ahealy resigned? and disqualify
him from a ~a:n holding any po- j
sition of trust under the government, a
disqualification tlu.t needs not the pnmulgation
of a court of impeachment, j
after the facts of his guilt shall become
generally known. Thee would be sufficient
causes for till* impeachment farce to
be dropped, even if there was no consti
tutional question involved. Gun. Bel
knap, not being an officer of the government
is not under the constitution
ameuablc to impeachment.
The courts have taken the matter in
hand, he having been indicted by the {
Grand Jury, and investigation through'
the proper channel should not be preju- .
diced by the very questionable mode of
procedure adoptc 1 by Congress.
There Is going to bo suuc sort of a celebration
on the 3rd of May or on the 17th
of June, at least that is what we might ,
surmise from the News and Courier of i
Tuesday. Colored fin men and masons I
who desire to take part in the j arade can 1
apply for full particulars to F. \V. Fuw- . 1
son, editor of that paper, lie is about :
the only man in South Carolina, who j'
knows what is le-t for all citizens, no
matter what their status in society or to , 1
what party they may belong, or of what
race. lie knows all about those cebbra
tions, but bo makes so many changes J 1
about election time, that we ;von lor if i1

this is not some Jo Joe to secure tlic j

CLUB HOUSE SPIIIXUS.
Pare Water for the Xnvr?A Beautiful j <
Spot--Lntcri)n>i!ig Contractors.
On Saturday we embarked on board t
the steam water boat ''Agnes," with .
which Messrs. I>ich <\* Small supply tli; j >
U. S. fleet, a i l the shipping in Port R.?y
p.l and Bull River, with water, and visited j
their water supply at Club llou e springs. <5
This spring is situated on Aibevgottic ;
creek, and derives its name from the CI b a
.House of anti-bcl'um cel. brity, which was
situated a short distance i. >u the rp.ing,
which has been noted for the purity of a
its waters for almost a century. During ,
the war the club !i<??-e w>s destroyed and j
the spriug became choked, in a mass of
vegetation, becoming al ho c impenctra- !
ble with undergrowth of live oak and 1 f
vines, that lu::uratcd in the moisture of1 ?,
this neglected spot. This was its con li-' p
tion when the attention of Messrs. Dak ;i
& Small were called to it. They went to r,
work at once an 1 have succeeded in leak u
ing a complete tra i-formation, by c'ur- {
ing away this underg'ovrih an 1 leaving
live oaks at regular distances so that in ?A
the course of a few years the spring will
be surrounded by a grove of these majes-!
tic trees. The spring is thirty loot above [ '
high ti !o water, and to c t a sufa/.ent ..
flow of water, excavations were made
some tilt ecu or twenty feet i: 11 : the ban';
where a hrgo cavity was found, almost j
large enough to admit a man on horse
back, into which the water w n rushi ig
in a continuous >trea:n. This cavity they J;
bricked aalcemetine love", thusterming ;i r.<
sediment tank. The water is led rom b.
here through a three inch p.pe to a tank tl
which holds 9.0O0 gallons of water, the; o
overflow of which runs into anotherwhite I of
cxlar tank that holds 15,001)gallons. An- p(

Coi.UMtUA, S. C. Lvfc. 20, 1876.
Editor St""d u d a:td Ounhicrcitd:
A few of mv first days and first in;pre;
sious at, and within tI:o II.ills of Legisla
tion oi' our Stale?plainly the order cf
day is business, business, and nn unflagging
attention to business, and no waste
of time. Among the Kopre nlatives oi
our people, it would sc?m, the interest of
the State, as well genera', ceial, and
local. was equally and carefully cared for
?nothing however unimportant, as well,
the more, and most important of matters,
bat what is thoroughly canvassed, and
well understood by each, and all, her
Representatives, before it bee incs effectual?Then
again, the harmony and respect
of the Representatives, one with
the other, whether, concur! ing or differing
on questions involved, with the gentleman';*
courtesy 5hev.11 and accorded
each other, is noticeable, and interesting
to the looker-on. In my earlier, as well
later, acquaintance, and observation in
Legislative bodies, seldom have I seen
that dignity ot person, and uuiform ur
banity. and at same time, intelligent business
dispatch, that I am phased to accord
to the President of the Senate, the
Hon. Lieut. Gov. R. II. Gleaves.
The constituency of Lean fort, r.u 1 as I
think may be said of the several J' trie's
throughout the Stale, cannot reasonably
complain 0!' inability, or i: a fer.t oo to
bu iness and wi:'i strict reference to jusiiee,
in their respective Rrepresentatives
?generally there seems to be a prcdoiul
nnting ambition, and commendable zeal,
in emulating each other, how mo-i. and
to the groate.-t purpose. best, to snlveny
i) v> ho:}a publico; an>l hence, as it is the
order of the day, to correct the evils that
may perchance grow out of Lng:s'a?ion,
ml a? well the j urging cf political
iv rungs, every matter that comes under
their consideration, thai may snufT of
taint, or corruption meets with the elo-vs'
3'rutiny, and criticism, and, correspondingly,
v> lie re there are measures, an!
mi tiers committed in charge of importance
an I merit, they are n > closely c.irc
fully and zealously attended to. I nee!
iiot refer to the late investigation of one
)f our Itepre.-cntafives, (whom I luul
e-p et from my little persona! acqnti n'inee)
more thai to add?that it wouM
seem the proceedings. and investigation
?f charges, and specitications involved,

Fainmmnt Park, you must know is one
of lb.- lovliesl hs well as one of the most {

grounds arc also far more extensive
and beautiful than Sydenham where
the London, or the Champs E'ysees.

ITere. on the other hand from George's
Hill a point of some historical interest
which lies but a few hen bed yards back
of the Machinery Hah a splendid view of
the Centennial grounds, and indeed of
j the entire city can be obtained.
The space allotted for Centennial pur
: poses con a ning about four hunched and
j twenty acres, is in space an irregular
triangle. and is to be enclosed by the high

thirteen gates, representing the thiitcen

goods were lost to the exhibitors at the
Vienna exposition from imperfect protection

The external work upon the machinery

and some of the bulky foreign exhibits
are ahcady in their places.

of the building excavations are being

arc to propel all the machinery in hall <
and in the leather and Carriage factories f
which are now in the process of erectu n j
not far distant. In front of Machinery j (
