Address all communication* to THE TJUISL'NE RKA I'FOItT, S.C. The charges against NilesU. Parker in the Land Commission Frauds have been dropped by Uie State. It ivould no doubt have opened a 'doer for the prosecution of a large number ol our officials had this case been pressed, and what our spotless politicians dread is that if these cases go too far some one trill squeal. A-l the good the recent verdict against Parker will do the State is nil, but the effect hoped to be produced in the eounrty i-s that the IlenubTican Purtv is purifying itselfdf all its iniquities. Our Republican Congress has tried tlie same game f'.r two years and With such disastrous results that the Piuty was almost ruined, despite the attempts made to conceal frauds and cover up bribery, which can only be thoroughly overhauled by the incoming Democratic Congress. It would seem as though the P> rty leaders in South Carolina were doing all iu their power to place the State in the same position as - Georgia, where the colored man's political prospects have been entirely oblitciated solely on account of the act ions of the men who they, in their blindness, elected to power. A stranger passing along Bay street last j Saturday afternoon ::Vust have thoughti that an important election was about to come off, from the large crow d assembled on the street "argufying" the merits of D. H. Chamberlain. It i? a moat heinous i offence in Ids excellency to show so little attention to the dictates of our Senator and representatives, who for so many years have been able to. control the Governors appointments ami to say who should be appointed ami when; which lias had the effect of breaking down all op; position to the whims of those who have "held these positions so tenaciously. The -argument referred to was caused by n colored man inquiring of our newly fledged senator how it was that at the lust election he supported Chamberlain for ithc Governorship and gave him all the attributes of an angel and now he denounced him as "A Grand Rascal." The .answer seemed to be that the Governor is "a grand rascal" for various reason-; one evidence was his appointment of Mr. gcovel ascensus taker in opposition to the recommendation of the delegation; yes, the delegation endorsed souic one else and the Governor was 44A Grand Rascal" fur not appointing the one sclcc?d by the legislators. The senator seemed a little embarasaed when his opponi nt inquired if ho-(the senator) and all the delegation had not endorsed Mr' Scovcl for trial justice, and if he was good enough for trial iusties was#he not h juiitable man tor census taker, and how did this show the Governor to be s grand *asenlt The argument on tbir point lnsed about three hours and at the close there had been no converts to the new doctrine that a mpn who refuses to be led by the nose by the delegation is necessarily no better than Moses, and if be had his deserts would be where the dogs would not trouble him. It is strange with what unamiuity the men who control the caucuses and conventions in our connty, who so ardently espoused the cause of Mr. Chamberlain in the Inst election now denoonce him iu tlie bitterest terms, and bow the entire blanvt is laid at the door of his excellency. ovcuio iu uu imgDMi'n mat me nn?T breach between them was daring the last anion-of the legislature when our members opened the ball by opposing the measures of reform espoused by Mr. Chamberlain, and how the fight culminated in open rupiure when the election came off for judge of the Charleston circuit. The Governor hr.s stood by his friends, and he Ithcwa just what sac iflces ?re ncc< ft ,:uy to conciliate the Beaufort ring, ami ho is too miu h of a man to eater to heir dictations for the sake of their good will. And this is why he is "a grand rascal." The town council are to render an oc- j i, count of their stewardship tonight at; the C'nucil chamber and * crowd is expected. If any political capital can be manufactured it will betaken advantage ?f. Tbfl ticket to be voted for nrxt manday, will be found in Another coluura. m far aa we can judge wo see no improvement over tho old council, and only regret that the slate thnt was forced twpug^udfhropc. exception, could have V''-1 ' -- ... ^V" ^ ^y"- -fr_ " ThcTown Council of A>iken have laviocl a (ax #f twenty five cents on the hundred_-dollars. Our tottn connfcil last Yesr^oflectci! a tax of one dollar and twenty five cents on the hundred dollars and now have no money to pay the town laborers, or any body else. i The question is, did p. p. hold inquests on the remains of the deceased bears recently killed on his place? Bets are evej on the subject, as all animals dying in that neighborhood are liable to be set on by the Dr. On the excursion to Savannah last week there were some that went for gain as well as pleasure. 8everal of the excursionists were tempted to lav in a sup i>ij vfi utj puling unu luii^rHiuiHiru menisci ves tliat they hnd secured splendid bargains, but tlu-ir disgust was great when on landing ni home to find their purchases had mysteriously disappeared leuving no trace of their wherealiouts. It would be well to exclude all suspicious persons from these trips if they could only be detected, but every one that pays for a ticket is welcomed, and if all the thieves were left behind the number of excursionists would be materially reduced. Providence interposed to prevent p. p. from attending the recent sessions of the county commissioners which was called for the purpose of disapproving the bonds of N. B. My ere as count v treasurer. It was well-known toy tlicwl at all acquainted with court house affairs that the bond, was -to be rejected no matter how many names and haw much property might'be represented by the signatures. The board met on Wednesday Martin and 8cott beinp present. At the request of the Attorney for Myers the board adjourned till Thursday at4. p. m. On assembling on Thursday Mr. W hippcr counsel for Myers presented the bond, remarking that the amount required by law, thirty thousand dollars, was represented by signers who had qualified under oath, and if there was any objection raised by the board to any of the bondsmen he would be glad to hear them and he would satisfy the board of the ability of the signers. Martin took the bond and asked tune for its consideration, and aakca pcrmision to adjourn till 9. a. m Friday, in order that the hoard might satisfy themselves that the bond was sutficent. On Friday when the board was called to order Martin with a trembling hand held out a paper which he said was the decision of the board, and that the amount was insufficient, the board rejecting five of the signers as having no property. Mr.Whippet thought the action of the board was ruihcr arbitrary In not allowing the appointee an opportunity to prove they were qualified in the amount for which they had signed, lie had seen mean things done in trial justices conrts hut the action of the commissioners in this case vas the most contcmptable lie ever witnessed. As there was nothing further to be done Myers took the train for Co1 is ni KS ? UiU k*' The county r-onimissionera at the lnte meeting off. red a reward of one hundred dollars lor the Capture of Louis II. Montmohin, convicted some time since of an assault. This action was taken during the absence of p. p. m. d. c. c.'c. b. c., as he is a neighbor of Montmollin, and it might not be healthy for him to have nc ted in the matter. Jn regard to the reward we can assure onr readers that the amount would never be paid if earned, the board now having money claims of this nature against them and never yet having paid any of the money rewards offered and earned. In the recent Railroad convention in Atlanta the business was pooled and the deffercnt (roads are to share as follows; "South Carolina Railroad to have 89 ptr cent; Atlantic Coast Line, 16 per cenf; Central Railroad, 80 per cent; Port Royal Railroad, 18 per cent." The nominating convention met in the Arsenal last Monday night for the pur pose of making up a ticket foi next Monday's election. Peter Robinson was chosen chairman and J. C. Richmond Secretary. Hamilton Robinson proposed that the convention elect a committee of twelve to whom should be given the power to select candidates for Intendant and Wardens, but tbo idea did not take. Nominations'being in order Monday Williams proposed the name of, Alfred Williams for Intendant and thero being' no other candidates, Mr. Williams was declared unanimously nominated for reelection. Mr Oleavea was then pressed for Warden, when Tom. Hamilton arose and remarked that he bad been told that the town liad l>eon robbed of $500 by the town clerk, and that bcfcre any nominations were made he should like to hear the matter explained. His remarks called oat Robert Smalls who made a very savage attack on Mr. O. W. Roberts, words seeming he to wanting tbatcould do lattice to kU feelings. Joe. Robinson came to the defense of Mr. Roberts in a mousing speech, and denounced Mr. Stnnlls attack on the clerk elm ply for doing his dnf) in issuing an execution for delinquent taxes, that th^chnrges brought forward were malicious. The town had 1 . - . . . . ""* ?.a. vkvi "r ~ir V -rr- . J 1 ?. -}M- , all times for pablic inspection, and lie challenged any one to show where fire I cents had been; misapplied, and it ill1 become Mr. Smells to make such charges against the clerk for simply doing his duty. Mr Gleavcs. was called for to explain the $500. charge, and stated that during hit absence Mr. Roberts, had been elected clerk In place of Mr. Gilbert, and that there was a deficiency he believed of about the sum named, bat Mr. Gilbert claimed it due 1dm for salary and commisaions but he (Mr Gleares.) did not know how it atood nor the exact amount claimed to be short. The Intend ant was then called to the stand and said that he did not claim that Mr. Gilbert owed the town anything, it was simply a question of commissions and salary. Mr. Mayo, stated that he was on the committee appointed to investigate the mattor *nH fhni?> tion was to look for the bond of the clerk, but the bond could not be found. In answer to a question he stated that Robert Smalls and Qeorge Holmes were the bondsmen. Mr. Mayo, then gave the audience to understand that there was a bigger steal than any they had yet heard of. That dunng his sickness the sum of fourteen hundred dollars had disappeared and not accounted for. Warden Fisher defined bis position, and was followed oy Warden McGill who stated that he had but little to say, that he had been elected to the council fo^two years "to do the best or not." The Intendant arose to explain the $1400. charged as being short and gave a very satisfactory statement. He claimed that nearly the amount claimed had been handed to him by the town clerk and that the money had been properly expended, and that the itemized account for the money had been submitted to the council and been approved and tbat the account had been published in the paper ofiicinllv, and any one could see for himself just where every cent had been expended and to whom paid, and that this was the first time an itemized account of the town | expenditures had been made since the war. At this point two of the Wardens began a dispute which ended In the lie being given and our notes explain the situation in the words "Hell broke loose." No one who has never visited one of our conventions can conceive of the uproar wncn every one in the house is talkiog nt once, and every one tries to bcllow^louder than the rest. As it w;is impossible to keep trick of affairs any longer we left. The following ticket was born on the occasion. For Intendant. Alfred Williams. For Wardens, It. H. G leaves Joseph Robinson George Gage Richard Washington Pettr H. Days Joseph Cohen Charleston was visited last Saturday by a I very destructive flie. The fire began at ! t wo o'clock ?n Saturday morning, in the grocery store of Bvcrhardt, on the cornor of Marsh and Inspection streets, and spread northeast, destroying the property on l?oth sidesjof Inspection street to Cooper river. About forty-five buildings, besides smaller houses aud several small loaded vessels of rosin and spirits of turpentine, were destroyed. T he fire raged till eight oi||ock, when Robb's wharf and rice mills, and Vcntnng's and Marshall's wharves were destroyed. The total value of the houses is about $85, 000 and of the wharves $40, 000. Sixty-five hundred barrels of turpentine and twelve hundred barrels of rosin were burned valued at $150, 000. The total insurance Is about $150,000. The Receiver and Advisory Board of | the Savannah and Charleston Railroad | Company, in their answer to the petiton of Comptroller General Dunn, that they lie attached and punished for contempt of court in not delivering up the road, raise a very serious question This is stated in the first section of the answer as follows; "That the said Thomas C. Dunn is not the lawful Comptroller-General, under and according to the constitution of the state of South Carolina, whereby the said office is created, and the raannej of electing said officer is provided. The said Thomas C. Dunn has never been elected to said office by the qualified voters of the state and without that he ,has no lawfull right to fill and serve the said office.

Pointer, of Spartanburg, is paying flfty cents on the dollar on school claims for the years 1871 and 1879. It is proposed by the Washington Light Infantry, of Charleston, 8.C.. to invite co-operation among the military commanders of the -Old Thirteen" States to form a "Centennial Legion" to take part as a representative body in the national Centennial, July 4,1876, in Phila- i delphia. First.

Each company to be limited to seventy-five men in all. all companies to rendezvous in Philadelphia on the 2d. ot July at noon. Second. The rank of the field officers to be determined by lot or otherwise, as may be agreed^n by the officers so elected, and they 4* appoint-the staff offi; cent of its command. The "Eutaw Flag'' ; will be carried by the Washington Light ! Infantry. r Third. It is suggested that the Boston Light Infantry and the Old Guard of New York unite with the Washington Light Infantry in appointing a joint committee, with the view of presenting this matter to such other commands in the ten remaining 8tatea as would take an interest in it. Fourth. The Centennial of the battle of Fort Monltrie will be celebrated in Charleston, S. C. on the 28th of June, 1876. It will be desirable for as many of these commands as Dossible for & representation thereof) to rendezvous in c Charleston, to assist fo that celebration, and proceed thence to Phflodelphia, by c rail or steamer, aa may be most practicable. ' < ~~ ~ a The platforms of the Republican and g Democratic parties in the north are now only to be distinguished by the stands they take on the currency question. In * a recent speech Hon Geo. H. Pendleton gives the following interpretation of the Democratic platform ' fn Ohio: It means "adherence to the principles of the gov- ? emment established by' the fathers, oppo- g sition to all encroachments of one depart- tl ment upon another, or of the Federal c power upon the constitutional rights of the States^ equality before the lnw of all ' citizens, one presidential term, retrench- * mcnta whenever there issatrasopsaes, re- t from wherever there is abuse, no subsidies, public lands for actual settlers, a tariff | for revenue only, equal and exact iustlce / to e.ll, religion flree, secular education in * fiublic schools, opposition to sumptuary aws and to interference with social hab- " its, ^nd on financial questions a cessation , of contraction, a sound and sufficient 8 currency, greenbneks instead of Nation- B al Bank notes, and greenbacks for cut- t toms to the extent that the necessities of 0 the government wil^ permit." inere are sixteen schools for colored pupils in Augusta, Gn , and the authori- ] ties recommend that the entire control of the cducitiOn of these children bo trans- 1 ferred to a Hoard composed of freeholders and a commissioner of their own race * and that the f.wd obtained from the taxation of their property and polls be placed at the disposal of such Board. It is stated that the colored teachers have succeeded to an extent beyond the expectations of the most sanguine. Confining their attentions strictly to their duties, they have, by precept and example, striven to impress upon the people of their race the importance and necessity of industry, morality, order, and obedience to law. They have so conducted their schools as to merit from the. law giving power a recognition of the capacity of their race for self-management. J The removal of Mr. M. Pollitzcr trom the 1 Chairmanship of the free schools commission in Beaufort county. 8. C., which was instituted by the Uniied States Government, has called forth a manly and strait- ( forward letter from that gentleman to Secretory Bristow, who effected his removal at the solicitation of Patterson and other eager politicians. This school _ fund, amounting to $70. 000, is about the only public money trust in South Caro Una that has been kept out ot the hands of the administration Ring. Mr Pollitzcr and his two associate commissioners have managed the money matters economically, and put the income of their trust to excellent use, while the more general * administrative duties of their office have 1 been discharged in a hlohl? ? - ?o- J .-?- ???? 1 and satisfactory manner. Goad schools hare been established for both whites and blacks, and there has been no waste r or stealage. The salary of $100 a year I has certainly been no object, for as Mr Psllitzcr states It is not enough to feed Ins coachman. There is no honor attach* ing to the situation exeept snch as toe Commissioners have secured by the honorable and efficient course pursued. Their labors, and especially the efforts of the ? chairman, have been given for the good V of the cause, and it has prospered under their unselfish care. But this isolated instance of public purity and capability has been a standing reproach to Patterson, and his associates, and it has also kept $70,000 out of the clutch of the Ring. Secretary Bristow has not l>een credited with taking council | w'.thfpolitical adventurers of the Patterson stripe, and he will hardly win repute for him elf by beginning now.-JkitUtn Pott. l?Ll? . 'I There is a law in Indiana prohibiting the intermarnage of white and colored persons, under penalty of imprisonment in the State Penitentiary for not less than one year nor more than ten years, and fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $5,000. Another section of the penalty code makes it the same crime, with the same punishmcn t, for any person to aid or abet in the commission of the act. Some weeks since a German named John 1..MII Mill Mugcn jnuier, residing in MorwTi]l6t y Floyd county Indiana, was married to a negro woman named Mary Sims. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Jesse Bass, pastor of the Bethel Baptist Church, the leading colored church of New Albany. The Sheriff went out to Mooraeville and found Miller at his home, in company with his negro wife, and placed hiiu under arrest. The woman was much alarmed and begged t he officer 0 not to take the husband away from her. Miller was then taken to New Albany and placed in the county jail. At the instauce of the prosecuting attorney, Judge Smith tixe't Miller's bail at $2,500, which ?eiug unable to give, he was sent to jail. I Afterward the liev. Mr. Bass was arrested on the street by the Deputy Sheriff, and also taken to j ail.
