We are informed that lie suit! tl at T'. R. Elliott would succeed Melton as attorney General. HTTlie election of an Intcndant and "Wardens ot Port ltoyal passed off without nny scrimis disturbances ns is usual in lnrge cities. The old administration was re-elected, consisting of J. L. Duncan Intendnnt, nnd Owen F. Duke, R. (J. Center, Ilcnry Hamilton and Moses Green j wardens. Tlie Steamship Iluntsvillc, which was j liboled for thirty live thousand dollars by the owners of tho Dictator, has discharged her cargo and been taken to Bavaniiali for repairs. The llntteras has taken the place of the Huntsville on the New York and Port Royal line until she is out of her trouble. The school commissioner in his recent trio throuorh Goethe and I.awtnn town. hips found bridges in a miserable condition, and desires the attention of the County Commissioners to be particularly called to the bridges at McBridcs ford over the CooBawlmtchie swamp. . The^Tnitod States sales were concluded on Friday, when the office fixtures were sold, and the business of the United States Direct Tax Commissioners, which began fourteen years ago, came to an end. The best bargain on the last day was in the sale of the safe for seventy dollars, which was worth three times that amount. ESfThcre is a report in Washington that Hubert Smalls hns the contract to furniah the North Atlantic squadron with drinking water. This contoicc is ouc of | tho good things our obese Congressman ' never fustened upon. The water is fur-) nished by another Captain Smalls who j prefers working for his living to holding ! office. J^^Shcriff Wil.-on attested a nan in Bouifort lust week who was supposed to j be guilty of n recent murder in Savannah. j The sheriff of Savannah came up as soon as lie heard of the arrest but could not certainly identify the man, although he was suspected of being an old offender 111 j that city, one of the acts of which he is 1 supposed to have been guilty of being: the shooting of a policeman. |SF~ Saturday last was quite lively in I Beaufort. Whiski y ai d politics got so. mixed that three first c ass fights enliven- \ cd the day. Although there were no I at rests there wiro some swelled eyes, and j after all it was not decided whether i Governor Chamberlain or Mr. Whipper| were in the right, although the uiau that j butted the hardest and lost his shirt iu the melee favored his excellency. Thomas of the Phosphate Organ lias gone to Columbia to wrestle with the bonanza commissioners, having u claim for services rendered two or three years ago as stenographer. During Thomas' absence Alfred Williams Esq. our genial Intcndant will direct the tu-ies th.it shall l>c played, and having once occupied the editorial chair of Mr. Wbipjier's defunct paper the Beaufort Time* he will ho at home. Mr. Thom .s E. Younger, the colored orator of Louisiana, who rendered very efficient service to the Democratic cause during the Mississippi canvass, is making arrangements for stumping South Carolina during the Presidential canvass. This is another of the signs indicating that the Democrats intend to make vigorous efforts to carry the State. |3F*Tlie fleet of Qovernment vessels in our harbor was increased this week by the arrival of the Congress and Juniata,< I>oth formidable and first-class ships. | When the fleet of Monitors arrive things will be lively in this neighborhood. The Government sold out its reservation on Lands End at the recent sale and now will have to purchase land on which to build workshops. ?
