of Robert Smalls to Congiess, ia a young \
man of decided ability and_has certainly I j
made an impression in the House, w here <
he has served with character and just '

Port Koyal. One
wonld suppose after reading^thc
accountjpubluhed in tbc Charleston Setet
mmd Co-uritr of the proceedings and
peaches indulged in on the occasion ot
be late aanual meeting in that city of the
National Grangers, that not one of the
boma^apeakcrs bad erer heard of the
exist enoe of Port Royal harbor. Baid
Colonel Trenholm, 44 the object of thi?
day to commercial men ia to ship their
goods by the a ho rest route to the beet
port of outlet, and the most accessible
perils Charleston. We hare not as much
water on our bar, it ia true, as Boston,
New York, or Baltimore, but we can do |
what they hare done?we cau make the
required depth.''
Ko refer**?e hare to the fact that our i
State it already in the possession of a <
barbor amply ablt to meet all require. '
rneota.
Tba allusion to Boston and New York
ir bsgrmioua, implying at it does, thai
those well known ft i?t class porta were
ends tpw? e time in the present admitted
predicament of Charleston, and unable to
accommodate heavy tonnage. Vv i'l Col.
Trchholm kindly inform us at what pre.
cise time it was found necessary to dig
out the channels at Boston and Nsw
York, and to what extent f We supposed
enrsetree tolerably well informed in runttere
pertaining to the history of the commercial
progress of the two foremost
American ports, bat on this one polntour
memory fails us. '
like Colonel Sellers with his hair
brained Schemes and his oft repented
assertion "There's millions in it." Col. j
Trenholm promises magnificently, and we

tour mostly from the rural districts and
unfamiliar with msrstime matters, departed
from Charleston fully convinced that 1
it is the easiest thing in the world to 1
make a third-rate harbor into a first rata '
one by a little digging. It only remains 1
for Col. Trenholm and his equally ear- J
guine co adjutors to make good their 1
professions and not allow tUeir perform- 1
ance to fall rediculoutly abort of their '
high sounding manifestos.
At the same re-nnion another speaker 1
stated it as his conviction that " Charles- '
ton is placed by nature as the nearest and
most convenient Atlantic seaport for the ^
cities of Cincinnati, Chicago, Louisville, '
fit. Louis, &c." Here again no hint in
1 regard to the existing Apabiiity of its
contiguous rival.
The truth is that Charleston was not
' placed where it is by nature but by man,
and that man in>so placing it committed
a great mistake, -which the present gener
ation mast sooner or later correct. With
Charleston as its principal port our 8tate
can never take high rank rs a maratime
> Biaie. wiuia wuu ron novaj iuny developed,
and with tba necessary railroad
connections, nU things are jxteeihU. When
at length Charleston slim! I be obliged to
succumb and yield her pretrnsiors in
favor of Port Royal, it will be but a repetition
of changes already taken place in
the tarly colonial history of our country.
Time was when Newport, R. I. entirely
overshadowed New York as a naval
depot, aud when the now insignificant
port of Salem, Mass.,far outranked Bod n

their iuft-riof and built up their

To tfi4 Tribune :
1 dd not want to startle your readerwith
an array of news found in the
Charleston and Columbia pap-ra, but 1j
i iBiMCB?wnm*.uni M crwwgw?wi
want to give bouiu points that seiui to bo
jverlooked by tlieir reporters.
TflE i^LNANOIAL CONDITION
jftlio State is in a fearful middleman:!
is the JYew* " goes in for consolidated
,?onds" and the Ifaioti Herald is the organ
>f t!i? Plate Treasurer there are faotetha;
>ug&t to published w um ar&'.not
bund in those papers. Among the start
iug ra nors. aib.at is that there are
M,600,000 in fraudulent bonds that were
vdecnud, and new bonds issued far tlv
ume, that are included with the bond ?
hat can bo conso) id it id under, the the
"unding Act, and that several hundred
hous&nu dollars of these boudj have b.en
ilready consolidated. The facts Are kept
>ui ui mo papers ror me ic&son that it
night hurt the bond market, and in thai
vent a certain official who is said to
lave made $250,0 >0 out of the funding
insiucss might be badly hurl. 1 hose
jentsare crying out reform and rctrcnchlient,
and nppoBe any job in lha legislature
but are making more money now
:ban ever has been made by any foruic
officials in the Mine amount of time.
The fact that tk? diticU ia not genera' as
it used to bo, but among the select few, i*
;>ne of the reasons why the facts and
figures are so successfully kept private,
nod why they can oppose any scheme
outside of the ring.
A SHIMKICANT FACT
has come to the attention ol some of the
leading representatives, that may throw
some light, on the way ot money out oi
l tails. On the 1st of Januaiy there
should have been to the credit ol the
otale, on account of interest, in the Boutii
Carolina bank and Trust Co. ot Columbia
nearly $l(K),000; but 1 he sworn siatcintml
>; the president and cashier showed at thai
time that there waft not more than $11,<KX
to the credit ol'the State on account oJ
interest.
Somebody has put themselves in *
condition to l?c hurt, it ceituiniy cminol
be the bank as they hold it subject tc
check.
Tn?! RNunnsaiNG clerks* strike
was caused because they were informed
I... '! -? ' ?? ' *
,,w- vmuuwi iimv incj coniu not ix
paid this winter and perhaps not next
whereupon tiny said "no pay, no work.''
It is strange that since tne number ol
employees has been flxid by law, and
reduced to a rediculous small number,
and certainly earn every dollar promised,
that they cannot get paid. The leg:s!a
turc took the matter in hind and inquired
of the Treasurer the amount paid out to
a tatbes, whereupon he reported $17,COO
:ta paid an auiuuut of $7,000 in excess ol
the law. From this statement only one
conclusion could be bad that the officer*
tiad issued mors certificates than tbc law
mtberized, this put the gentlemen to the
tecessity of rising to explain. The
Speaker of the House and the President
if the Senate announced the amount they
bad issued thiB unexpected course compelled
Mr. Cardozo to uiuke another statement
showing that these officers were correct
and that he " had on faithercxs-niua
ion found a little mistake of $7,000. The
fact is, that had this matter gone by
mnoticed the poor attaches would have
tad to sell at hftjT cents on the dollar and
refore they had fairly left, the did' *-cnce
iVould have been diriJed with somebody.
Several

Lad it ia evident that the legislature only
