BKAUFOKT, 8. C. FICrt. 17, 1?7.V. .. - ,???I On Friday April 16th. Scipio jirj-. an and Khjah Atkin are to He hung fur I murder; in the jail yard in town. We see by the report of the Comptrol-: ler, that there were 89,965 acres and 11 buildings forfeited for taxes in this county last year. The taxes on the above 1 property amounted to $4,691.10. T~. '? The average value of dogs according i to the tax return in this county for 1??2, j was $5.87, in 1873 they appreciated to j $5.51, in in 11573 the market s.eUK-d to he j overstocked and the value foil to $4.24. I MT Ahothbe Conururcm.?We are promised that when the Pert Royal RailRoad pays the tax it owes this connty of $3,400, all the little bills amounting to about $5,000 will bo paid. 'rThe,tax however, is only $1,885. How Van this amount pay Wc give it up> We should like to know why thn report of the County Commbsioacrs Ofj Beaufort County does not^appear in the j v^nmpwoiicr ucneral's annual report. I TheLlerk of the Board informs us that it waa^isent forward in time. We bavejto'acknowledge the receipt of an annual over the Savannah and Charleston H.

Mycr^ and Robertson voted for Melton, Batnpfield for Rorthrop, and Hamilton for the successful candidate, TJaj. A. J. Shaw. Pf" The lecture by Dr. Tiffany last Friday evening was well attended. The Bubject, George Washington,was one to which he had evidently given great study and research, and was well received bv tho audience- He ii>?<1 ? - ?r ? ^ V, M V?|VW?I?IIJ VUC ? bity of the completion of tho Washington monument before the Centennial, and regarded it a disgrace to the country that it should have remained so long in its present condition. Mr. Gilbert the President of the Lyceum announced that Dr. Fulton would deliver the recoud lecture on "Wednesday evening the 24th. Subject ' The American of the future, shall he be a Partisan or a Patriot" Last Wednesday tho mail^was several hours behind and we took the pains to ascertain the cause;? As it is a sample of tho management of the PortJ Royal Rail road it may be interestiug. When the train was about to leave A gusts st 1 Am. the engineer found he had no oil for his Pngine and as he could not run without its he sent the fireman to the store keeper to' get the can filled. I be fireman got a "cussing" for disturbing the slumber of tlio storekeeper, and returned with his can empty, be was sent a second time, with the same result. The train and passengers therefore waited till 7. A m. when the storekeeper tnnsard and fill*/! u.? - j ?-rr ?? ?? ? ino vii vnu and the train was allowed to leave. Is'nt this management! We are in receipt of the animal report of th? Comptroller-General, and in looking it over to find the report of the Conn, tj Commissioners of Beaufort County, which ii? not there, wejfound the settlement of the Treasurer of tbie County for County tax?? and aa a matter of news we give it place in etr columne. The settlement is dated September 7th, 1874, for the year 1 and is as follows: Original assessment, $3$ ,458 79 Additional assessment, *189 88 20 per cent, penalty, 2,485 25 Total, $89,028 89 To balance which we have Paid county claims, 21,708 12 Cash on hand, 4,635 58 Treasurer's commissions, 500 OQ Deductions and abatements, 8,131 43 Tax an'forfeited lands, 970 61 Nulla Bona, 1,789 68 Carried to duplicate for 1874, 6,448 47 Total, $89,028 89 The above figures balance. It is a good thing to have figures balance; and it will be seen that the following figures also balance. x The County Treasurer in his settlement with tbeCourty Commissioners of Beau fort County for the same vuar as abov.i, reports as follows: Original assessment, $28,201 48 Additional " 107 57 20 po* cent, penalty, 1,94 2 13 Fines received from Court, 26 00 ?

Total, $30,453 50 "n. . Although the aboTC balances, it is a puzzle to us where ti from, It will be seen first th assessment will not agree ports. As this assessment the books are opju id changed, and it differs in follows : Reported to Sutte, ,l " County Coiami tiooers, Making a difference wb euce can occur of $b5C 07. i at this we deduct the amo item Cues, licenses, and ( which is evidently combine assessment, from the assessing to the Conptroller-General. The next item in the repor. dition&l assessment which i State differs from that to Commissioners only $33.28, v look that. The next is the i: penalty : j io tho State it is ropjrted, " " Commissioners, A difference of only, Let us look at tho other s: sheet: The report of paymen claims, To the Comptroller, " " Commissioners A triile of only $2,855.16. caunot account for.

Wo come next to the trcasui missions, and here we find t' won't agree. The Comptrollei ays commissions $500, and h in his settlement with the Co ers $1,250, a difference of $75C the plainest error(i) in the who' and the cause we have been iuf the Comptroller declining to sc the treasurer for 1873. Next we have the report of d and abatements which show a ? of $732.63, handsome figure, itom ia a difference of $270.39 ir on ion cited lands. I lie Piul In J urea only diff-r $92.68. The u is the tax on lands not advert' carried to ihe duplicate for 187 ing a difference of $915.27. - last item, that appears on the rt the Commissioners is for tax r amounting to $3,404.04. This tri reported to the Comptrollerprobably because he might not stand it. It is money claimed t? turned to tax payers for an ille collected for the year 1872. amount has b< en returned the t has vouchers for it and they shou been shown. But why not repoi the Comptroller-General ? It mar be claimed that the figures may be accounted fur f; fact that the date of the two rep almost two months apart, but it period when nothing is done treasurer's office (except to figurej is impossible for any such cha take place, and it will be remenibc one is the annual report to th< Comptroller General and the o the County Commissioners, and 1 the fiscal year 1878. ^ The last monthly report we fin< by the treasurer for that year ii August 1st, and the minutes show that the Commissioner* evi desired a report, although the quires the treasurer to report on tl of every month. 2Let at see if we can find out ho counts are made to balance, at the totals vary $494.70. The original assessment roturno Commissioners exceeds that rape the State, $950.07. The assessment to the State exce< to the Commissioners as follows: Oo. additional assessment, On wO per cent, penalty, Making $525.38.
