The Beaufort Trilsv.no. W. M. FREKCII, J'rt Itor nnd Poprtctor WEDNESDAY. FEB. 28. 1876. Bishop Haven will preach in the Methodist Church in this place on Fri day evening next. Efr-The Governor has removed T. W. I Brwoy, trial justice in th'.s county. T. E. Miller hlis been made notary public. The U. 8. Fleet fired a salute of ever -so-many gnns ves'erJ.iy at 12, m, in h??nor of G. Washington. . Council mecl3 tonight when two ap plications for liquor licences will be acted upon, one of which, it is reported, will be refused. The Shawmut, Ossipec, Monongahela nnd Swatara sail today for Pensacola to bring to Port Royal four monitors now going to seed in that abandoned station. Col. Fillebrown, of the ComptroHerGeneral's office, was in town on Monday looking a fter the affairs of the past and present county treasurer, and seemed well aatisti id with his inspection of the books and papers. Dr. Wilder has been appointed nnd crnfiriiid as trial justice for Hilton Head. The whole United States Navy is within his jurisdiction, nnd if the boys dont behave the Dr. will make it hot for mem. The men employed in raising the fallen bc? wall along Bay street are getting along well with the work. The wall is to be entirely rebuilt, and the ground adjoining graded bo as to be an ornament to the town. We learn that Sir. F. W. Scheper intends puichasing a steam launch which will be employed in making regular trips between the fleet and Beaufort for the accommodation of the ofliccrs and men who wish to vi>it our town. ?. The Albert Thomas is loading phosphate at Bennett's dock. This vessel is in no way connected with the Standard, although the phosphatic tendencies of the editor might confuse the public as to whether he or this vessel of the same na.ne was being stuffed with the valuable mineral. Mainr Delany whs convicted in the court of General Sessions in Charleston last Fridny of breach of truBt and larceny. This case has been hanging over his head for several j^eara and has at last resulted in hia conviction, which must bo very annoying to tue ?>iaior. The chandelier in the dining room of Dr. Warren's club house fell to the table beneath, last Friday uight, bi inking the lampa and scattering kerosene over the floor. The oil caught fire and destrojed \ quite a lot of table lir.ea and crockery j before it was extinguished. Thebum-b:at business is getting to be very extensive as the fleet increases. Several of our merchants are running boats to supply the wants of the various messes, and we hear that three steam launches are to be brought here to take the place of the uncertain sail boats now used. tw The entertainment by the Lyceum | last Thursday evening was witnessed by a smaller audience than usaal. The affair waa gotten up rather hastily giving the members hnrd y time enough to learn their parts, and constant prompting of some of the actors rather spoiled the plays undertaken by them. The Skidniore Guards under the leadership of Clancy was a perfect success, and remin utti one 01 ine cays woen toe "meiish" used to parade our streets on election days, clad in the most fantastic uniforms, armed with guns they did not know how to load and for which they were never entrusted with cartridges by their political generals. The County Commissioner*. The county commisioners met Monday evening and the whole session was taken up by the reading of the minutes of the past two weeks, covering twenty-two pages, ex* cept about an hour spent by the chaitman argufying' with the veteran road overseer Pompey Coaxum, who could not be made to believe tlmt the comity is not still liable for the imaginary salary of J these parasites of fifty dollars a year for carrying a commission around in their pockets. The gieat fault of the present b ;nrd is a willingness to s(>ciid so much of their time in endless arguments und on matters of the most trivial importance. This is the principal reason wo fail to report their proceedings. We cannot afford to hang around the office for two or three davsin order to ren.irf business which could as well he done in as many houra. There Is rooui here for reform which would be to the great pecuniary 1-ei etit of the taxpayers, and the relief of those whose misfortune it is to have claims against the county. Tiics iay morning the board met At nine o'clock and spent the time in disccusaing unimportant mitUra while a trowdnw itcd heir plc.ii.ar t.? get to work, and it was not until a quarter attu 1 eleven that they were called to order. The first thing in order was a petition handed in by A. A. Bradley asking the c ommb-si oners to declare the road open ] over the lands or Mr. Kendall on Palmet- 1 to Island. This cape has already been J made the ground for several suita before . trial just ices, sand the county -will be put to an expense of several hundred dollars in costs in this dispute before Mr. Kendie call drive off the shark that feeds on 1 any carcass that tends to alleviate his insatiable appetite. Bradley said, dur- , tag a per>r \tion of an hours length, that I if his clients could not pet possession of | Mr. Kendall's property by means of the | javr that they would de so by physical force. The next thing we shall hear of may l>e of somebody going suddenly to the happy hunting grounds and Mr. Pat'eraon shrieking for "Troops" louder than ever. It was finally decided to postpone the further consideration of the question till March 8th. The contingent account of the clerk of court was presented amounting to $376.00. The solicitor's contingent aoeount for February term is $382.60. The , JShentFs contingent fund nmounta to I $788.40. Mr. Judd presented a bill of $100 for a < book and map for the use of the county 1 auditor, which caused a lively discussion as to the propriety of poking so large a sum for a book whijh cau well be dispensed with. The treasurer made the following reports; dated the 15th. Past Indebtedness Fund. i On hand last report $2,387.41 i Collected to date 1.785.43 1 Total $4,172.84 One Mill Tax. Amount collected to date $1,505.33 Countt Fund. On hand last report $2,110.44 Amount collected to date 2.678.00 , Total $4,788.58 , Payments since last report $4,054.85 ( Balance on hand $734.18. The board met again at jfour o'clock and a hungry crowd greeted them with a Bhower of claims and much talk. The chairman nftcr a tedious delay became wearied with the importunities o! roadoverseers and constables and took refuge in the auditors office. The treasurer had reported on hand of county tunds $734 i which was a prize the audience was bound to secure. After a delay of three houtBduring which nothing was done it leaked out that instead of the above sum being on hand there was hut $832, which, the chairman explained, was caused by the previous meeting having overdrawn the amount reported by the treasurer to the extent of $402. When this became known many claimants who had waited hours left disgusted, and" after paying $101) to the clerk for services the munificent sum of $08 was issued to other parties who were willing to accept 80 per cent on their claims, and at 8 p. ui., the session ended.
