concluded to remain. John is highly

giving away dry goods at ruinously low

The bill to pay the claims of the Freed
mens Bank in this place, was killed in the
II ou?e last week. It was shown that the
claim was for state paper left with tinbank
as collateral for n loan and the Assembly
concluded that the bank roust take its
dinners with other creditors, or look to
the borrower for its money.

There is nn effort being made to divert

Last Monday the quietness of Hay street
was disturbed by tho upsetting oi* a boat,
occupied by a man and boy, in the river,
A first class local was spoiled by the
promptness of Peter Gibbs in sending the
ferry boat to the rescue. We understand
the loss was slight, the demijohn of whiskey
being saved, at the risk of the mau'f
life, who left the boy in the capsized boat,
and swam after the demijohn, notwithstanding
the cries of his boy, who was
waist deep in water.

A first class fraud calling himself J.
Henry Mayer, visited our town last week,
representing himself as an agent for a St.
Louis firm and sold about $10,000 worth
of goods. Several of our merchants
eagerly bit at the great bargains he offer*. ;1
and in anticipation of such enormous
profits they were quite happy. One oi
our most thrifty grocers ssii he'd *' bi
darned if he would buy any more goods
in Charleston," St. Louis would hereafter
get his money. A telegram exposed the
cheat and Charleston is expected to sur
ive.
Whitney Sclinnl.
Saturday was rendered enjoyable to
many of our town's people, by a visit to
the Whitney school, near Old Fort, which
under the direction of Miss E. II. llotume,
and her assistant Miss Lizzie Humi, is one
of the best conducted institutions of the
kind to be found in tho state. Upon our
arrival the pupils were seated in a scmicir
cle upon the rivor bank, and word being
served with generous portions of bread and
ham,(by their elders, whose official connections
with the festivities was designated
by rosettes pinned upon one shoulder,
and of which decoration they secuied to
be as proud as a General of his strap.
After all, both old and young, had
abundantly satisfied their appetites with
these substantial the children were formed
in line and marching to the music of
one of their own weird tuues, they commenced
to tile into the school room, where
they were soon seated and then the fathers
and mothers were admitted, until every
available sitting and standing position
was occupied. At this time there could
not have been ltss than two hundred
persons in the school roon exclusive of the
visitors, each face henmed with happiness
and one was almost disposed to envy their
kind teachers the enjoyment thoy must
have felt at knowing that to them was due.
the credit of affording this treat to their
pupil*. At th" request of Miss Uotume
the scholars, led.by Miss i n in s mg several
Hymns ami to onrunlutorc i enrthmnusic
was-v rv s\v: t. After - his they r aidoral
two or ihna of iln ir ov n turns, "It.>11 .lor
d:ui .t<> , Th^fc'b uoligll hi tUi
. Heaven uiy Lord" &c, which wo arc tain , n
I to admit pleased ua luoro than the others.:
Some Jof the visitors who witnessed such ^
a scone for the first time were affected to
tears by the mournful cadence. At the
conclusion of the singing remarks were
made to the children by Mr. Lehlbach. h
i Mr. Hammond, Mrs. F. D. Gage, and Miss G
, t Botumc. These all strove to impress the
fact upon the minds of those interested
that success in the school could only be
assured bv the coonerathm of ?.h? namniM '>
| and most particularly of the mothers.
Miss Botume could always tell by the ^
I conduct of the pupil whether the home in- u
iluence and restraints were good or otherwise,
but as a whole she was proud of the
conduct of Her pupils, and instances where t?i
it was necessary to administer correction ai
were rare. Afterwards cake was passed h
around and then each child was presented
with a ba? of candy, after receiving
which they dispersed about the grouuds. ,l
We were entertained with nreprescnta- ^
: lion of the shoot dance which combining
! a perfect idea of time, with its inournl'u!
, I armony. is beautiful. ' ,.i
The arrangement of the grounds sur- ^
; rounding the school building is admirable .
and reflects great credit upon Miss Botume
under whose direction wo arc informed all
the improvements are tnad?. ^
The approach from the public road is
a wide avenue, at each side of which arc y
set rows of the Spauish Dagger and when
in bloom they are spoken of us very love- ^
ly. Thankful for the pleasure of the day j
let us trust that each recurrence may be
equally enjoyable.

11 If the above figures do not show the
1 incompetence of the County Treasurer,
then v.'e give up that fig area lit. It will j
| be seen that he nutV es his figure?- balance !
'! in both reports, and as he i,ceni3 to bul-1
1. anco them by altering ihem all to suit iiis |
' | commissions,the taxpayers ought to be
> satisfied.
Is it not about time that the books were
examined and a report of the finances
made in accordance with the real condition
of the accounts? The law says thc. IS
treasurer shall receive a commission on coli
lections until the commissions amount to
two thousand five hundred dollars, but
ehall not exceed that amount. b
i We have shown that he has received
' $2,000 from the State and $1,250 from
' the County ; iu addition to which we are
informed he lias deducted commissions
lor collecting the school tax amounting
to $500, altogether $3,750.
To show the falsity of the above figures
let us see how they compare : lie reports
10 me uomptrouer-ueneral the county
tax abated at $3,131.43. Afterwards in
his settlement with the Commissioners he
reports the abatements as $3,408.80.
Any one must know that the abatement
must incr-oiw.tbey cannot dimmish. si
Bo, also with the lands not advertised,
lie reports to the Comptroller as the Couuty
tax on lands not advertised $6,448.47.
To the Commissioners he reports tax on
lands not advertised as $5,533.20. These
figures cannot vary one cent.
Again the 20 per cent, penalty in one
report is given as $2,435.25 and afterwards j.
to the Commissioners lie reports the 20
per cent, penalty as being only $1,942.15.
If the treasurer can explain this discrepancy,
he may be smnrt enough to explain
how he cm charge in one report $.">00 for j ?
I commissions and in the other $,1250, y,
i and still make both accountb balance, j Ct
