" THE TRIBUNE. ' I'UtJI.lSlTEP EVERY WEDNESDAY. AT BEAUFORT, SOUTH CAROLINA j A I'AI'BR FOR THK FEOI'IE. Independent in Politics, i TERMS: Olio Yonr. tl SO Six Month*. .... 1 OO , ?? ? I l*er SqnaTC, first Insertion . . . SI 50 j > ?>> hvooikI insertion, . 1 on ^yoctal contracts in rule with yearly advertisers. I Addressed! communications to THK TUyU'NE BEAUFORT, S.C. The investigation into the headstones for union soldiers is adding still more to tin: disgrace of the secretary of War, as it shows that the contract was not awarded to the lowest bidder nor were the specifications in the contract as awarded carried out. When Gen. Meigs objected to the stones and 'had some of them rejected the secretary had other inspectors examine and approve the ones rejected. Judging from the stones furnished the cemetery in Beaufort it is easy to see liow any honest man could not but reject them, as they are of a sort <>f.-onp stone and when being unloaded would chip off great pieces if allowed to touch each other no matter how light was the touch. Then again they were littered by tlie sand-blast process and white sonic were too deeply 'cut others were hardly legible. If these stones arc isot already paid for it would be well for ihc government to have them inspected again. One of the men engaged in setting them boasted wheu here that he was n neighbor of Bclkuap in Iowa and very intimate with the secretary. He may have been the famed Bridges the tailor who left his bench to assume this JfUOO.OGO cornact on the principle of "addition, division and silence." The Centennial Exhibition will be I opened with great ceremony on May 10th. The President is expected to open b?s lips aud address tho invited guests, the rest of mankind being allowed to look or. trom a distance as they are so numerous and anxious to hear the great Silent Man that it is thought they might crowd the favored few. Theodore Thomas will direct the orchestra ol one hundred and fifty pieces which will then play the National airs of all nations. J. G. Wlnttier has written a hymn for the occasion which will he sung by the President and the rest of the throng, and a chorus of six hundred will render Handel's "Halleluiah." The grand march ' hrough the buildings will be headed ' by Gen. Grant, accompanied by the invited guests, who at a propci time will give the signal and awaken tho imcyense engine that will give life and inotiou to the thirteen acres of machinery on exliibi tion nnd the show will begin at once. Great preparations have been made for the accv>mmodation of the vast crowds! expected during tl.c summer. Several ' new hotels have been uuilt close to the giuuutiti uuu n<c unucnB 01 x'liiniueipiu-j expect to give up all thiir spare rooms for tlie use of curiosity seekers at the moderate charge of from two dollars and ahall'aday up. As it is uot expected that the city can give accommodations to all who will visit the exhibition the lit. tie towns in the neighborhood are making'arrangenents to takej eare of the rest. Titursdat last, (the day which was to have madc'glud the hearts of honest citizens by witnessing the adjournment of J the General Assembly,) was signalized by j one of those disgraceful exhibitions on j the floor of the house which are so frc-I .jin ntly observed by northern visitors and ! duly reported when they reach home to Hie great projaciice <>t all attempts to draw capital and intelligent labor from t but section. Mr. Hamilton, who was a few years ago expelled for similar conduct, refute I to ta'co liis s-sit. atthe command of the Speaker, and showed his fitness as a maker of .laws by setting be rules ottho House at defiance, and his appreciation of the depths to which the halls of legislature hare been sunk, by damning the presiding officer. We have received a letter from a friend, a resident of one of the literary centres of the North, , who was present on Thursday, and the j-hnck which his admiration of republican < institutions received, would be utmost ludicrous were it not for tjjc ??*M?seiouness that incalculable injury is .enlly inflicted upon thohiacit majority : of citizens of thetoatc through the shameless conduct of thiir unworthy so-o.dled representatives. In the sutimcr of 1871, according to Oivil Grant's testimony, Grant wrote him that he had given orders to have no | mora post traders nppoiutcJ untill he' gave the word; aud suliwqueuily lie fur?.V. _ -1 > i-1. . ? w i tuvwgu ins irawruai mice: Ion l?r j wiitingto Oryil that some sutlers were to ?>e removed, and tliat now was his ?-hnnce. Oml was gratified with the: *?ost of trader at Fort Peek, that at {'tending Rock, that ut Fort Be'-knap,, nod that at Fort Borthnhl. 'i lie ingon-1 uoti- Orvil testified ti<if t-s? far as he! could r-collect,' tlnut specified these' particular posts as desirable fields f? r money-making, and also Cheyenne ag>nin\ The fond brother in the White House. it% ill be seen, was disposed in every way to help the sutler-ship ambi tions of entcrprisiog Orvil. Grant did even more for Orvil. The posts at Cheyenne and Standing Hock were in the Sioux Reservation. When ' Orvil got the licenses, which he sold for a share of the profits, the Sioux Hesorva-' tion was bounded on the cast by the Missouri river. The traders driven out ? ? "? at ' mvirn'ic rniNicii uic stream and opened I rivnl shops to Orvil's and ran his men a I brisk competition. Orvil wouldn't stand this, and Qrant must have been very indignant at the preau liption of the old traders, for he issued his Presidential proclamation extending the Sioux Heser vation to the eastern bank of the Missouri! Thus the rival traders were] checkmated by Graut himself, through i an act within his power as president, and Orvil'smcn enjoyed the monopoly which enabled them to charge extortionate prices for their goods and pay Orvil his stipulated dividends. The power of the President has never been put to 60 corrupt a use in the history of the country. Wk fear Miat we have incurred the dis pleasure of that eminent statesman Robert Smalls, mctubcr of Congress tirom this district and Major General of the fortes of Ills Excellency Governor Chamberlain. Our reason f>>r so Miinkingis that the Congressional licterd, which we have been receiving so regularly with. the honorable member's frank on the corner has ceased to reach us for a week, and we cannot charge the onimissioti to thfe'fault of the mail*. We hare scanned this document carefully for a long time in a vain enrcli for nctne evidence that wc have a member of Congress hut have always been obliged to seek fct his name in the directory excepting sometimes when we find his name recorded as having cast a vote; but as the vote is almost invaii ably 011 the minority side we can scarcely see ilie good of his r^istinar h*8 valuable time representing his conttituents in the unhealthy atmosphere of Washington for the paltry sum of six thousand dollars & year. It i6tiuc that the services required of bitu ut. a membei of the Committee on Agriculture are vtrv arduous the distribution of corn alone requiring much labor, and it may be lie has not had time to attend to any hut his constituents, and his custom house job which ! dees not ecem in a fair way of being j purchased by the Government, at ten times its valuo. Babcock succeeded in escaping the penitentiary by means which will sonic day be revealed. Nine-tenths of the public believe him to be guilty of everything etinrged in the indictment, and a great deal more which will yet come to light, lie has boea dismissed frun the White House in disgrace since the trial. Gbant did his best to protect him in the Whiskey Ring business, and was not troubled becauso of his corruption. But when lie detected him in bad faith to himself lie was ordered out of his c jafidouti il place as secretary. A competitive examination for the Normal School scholarships was held ut the office of the school Commissioner on Saturday the 25th and Monday the 27th j inst., at which the following applicants j manifested sufficient proficiency to cn| titfe them to admission to the school; J Middleton W. Brown Marion P. Camp , hell, Julius Washington, Paul P. Wats >n, Edw. Hamilton of Beaufort township; James L. Morilbon, of Coosnwhutchie township; J. C. Luwton of Lawton township; James E. Simmons of Ooetlie township; Samuel Grabain and Androw C. Reynolds ot'St. Helena township. Although this county is entitled to but seven of (be scholarships, the schoo^ Commissioner expresses the hope that the others may be allowed the benefit of vacancies in somfeother counties. ? Thb citizens of Savannah are still exerting themselvea to scettre the ordering of the fleet to Tyheo. At a meeting of the city council last Wednesday even ing assurances were given that there were good prospect* of success, that their representatives in Congress were laboring hard in their behalf and that it wm almost sn accomplished fact. They do not nvrm tu realize mat tiie larger vessels euch as tlie Dictator, New Hampshire and others could never hope to enter their harbor on account of the depth of water, which i? an insuperable hairier to the succcaa of their plans. If Port Koyal can offer no other advantage than its great depth of water on its bar this alone compels the government to make this a station if one is to be established between Norfolk and Key West. Wk take pleasure in welcoming the appearance of The Carolina Teacher, a journal devoted to the interests of education in the State of South Carolina. It is started under the the energetic management of Mr. M. A. Warren, the principal of the State Normal school, and if it i meets with the encouragement which it deserves, the cause which it aims to do-' vclope will be advanced by tho roeai.s; afforded of making pub'ic the newest: and most opproved methods of teaching,! and by discussing needed changed and improvements in the management of the ! public schools. 1 Tnis fccuate on hunoJay liaviug refused to concur in the House resolution relative to the prosecution by the attorney-general of parties implicated in the Solomon's bank business, the House went to work and p issed a resolution on its own account directing the attorncy-gcner-! al, with the assistance of live members of the House, to proceed at once, both civilly and criminally, against any and every party whom they may deem to be implica-1 ted in the Solomon's bank swindle. It is ! claimed by parties it ho know, that this j resolution absolutely means nothing more \ than to give said members of committee a chance to feather their nests, and then come in and report, if they ever report anything, that they could find 110 grounds for proceeding Hgainst anybody. ?Ake not the railroad companies responsible to a great extent lor the length of the legislative sessions! Docs any one suppose that with the tightness of money, even with tegis'ators, that they would extent! a session fo?r months if they had to pay railway f?re on their any to and from Columbia? Does any one suppose that the members front Beaufort, Oconee or Horry county would ran hsme for a few days every two or three weeks if they had to pat! Of course they would sot, and if^thcy could not, they would adjourn siuc die at the end of a forty or flfty days session. Several of the roads have abolished the pernicious system of granting dead head passes to legislatofs.-Un011 Herald. tx-Gov. Brown, who was Governor of Georgia during the war, in a recent speech, said "WhileI Would, during the war,*have cheerfully given my life to maiutain the institution of slavery, now, if by turning my hand over I could reinstate it in all its power, t vow to you I would not do it. And in uttering this sentiment I only express the feeling of a very large majority of the people of the South.
