WEDNESDAY * APRIL 5, 1?7?.
The New Hampshire went into commission
last week.
?The Alert sailed for New York on
Friday to refit preparatory to going to
China.
The Shawmut and Ajax left Pcnsacola
March 2:. the Swatara aud Mahopac on
the 27th, for Port Royal.
?Titos. R. Payne, the late pilot ou the ,
steamers between Port Royal and
Pernnndina has filed a lil>el against the
steamers in Savaonah for $2,008, for
aerricea as pilot at Brunswick.
?Sncoi* 3ier keeping grocery on Bay
stieet was up before the Intendant yte9
tcrday on a charge of selling liquor on
Sunday. He was proven guilty and fined
twenty dollars and costs.
?Ali. members of the Beaufort Lyceum
are earnestly requested to atbend a
meeting at tne hall to-rooriow evening,
at 8 o'clock.
?Thk board of county commissioner*
of Colleton county have discharged Cnpt.
Grace, their cletk, for having dared to j
have a mind of ait own. There is nothing
so good for the party as decapitating ev-!
vry one holding an office who shows any
tgns of manhood.
Thij grand jury of Chester county found
a true bill against Treasurer Yocom for
willfully neglecting to make monthly
reports of school funds on hand to ?he
school commissioner, as required by law.
?Mr. John Klattk, the enterprising
representative of H. Klatte, of Charleston,
was in town last week and took orders
enough to load a ship. The merchants
doing business with the fleet arc selling
immense quantities of grocciies and vegetables.
?Dont forget to go to the meeting of
the county commissioners to morrow with
your old checks and get some of the nion
tjy to be paid out. The last nwnrd was at
only five per cent discount und anybody
having'county paper that would refuse to
take ninety five cents on the dollar sbould
be made to walk the whole length of the
Pea Wall, and if that would'nt uncurl his
ideas he is without hope.
?It seems that there is one thing that
stands between the tax-payers and county
officials. It is the small pox. A man
hailing fropi Savannah died of that disease
near Hardeeville a few days ago, and
the coroner would not go near the body
to hold an inquest for the sum allowed
by the county tor such service.
?During the month of March we see
that some of our citizens came for a sharc
of the money paid out by the state treasurer.
Among those paid wc find L. S.
1875; P. L. Wiggtn, $250; 8. D.
Gilbert, $250; 8. B. Thompson. $400; R.
II. Gleave*, $937, and F. W. Schepcr.
$200. J. D. Rob rt?on of BlufRon got |
$400 and Dr. Wilder of Hilton Head
$2508.
A prisoner in our jail becoming tired
of restraint and not knowing the punishment
for walking off, got over the jail
fence one day last week and went on his
way rejoicing. As soon as he wa& missed
there was a great hue and cry and a
crowd started in pursuit and searched
the town over but without finding the
man. On Friday the keeper of the jail
hearing that the fugitive had goi e to
Port Royal went down and captured him
itnd walked him to Beaufort just in time
to hear the confusion from the convention
in the Arsenal.
?Thr United States Congress is fooling
away its time over Belknap, specie
resumption, and other u?-imp< rtant
matters while the valuabl property
occupied by Rol? -rt fttn-lls Standard and
XZommercial is waiting to be liought for
a trifle of $80,000. If Congress dont quit
such trifling and attend to business our
representative will get mad and come
homo and the minority vote on all questions
of importance to the country will
be one less. We wou-'d advise Mr. Smalls
to try a little Paris green on them, the
same as he docs on his imaginary cottoD.
If the government dont buy this
property aoon some fool will be eircula
ting a report that the prico is excessive.
C. H. Baldwin, Deputy United States
treasurer at Charleston, has received
$10,000 in silver for tho purpose of redeeming
fractional currency, being the
first instalment of the $50,000 in coin
allotted to that city under the specie
resumption act, Wc are ahead of our
sister cities in this matter of specie payment*
as Mr. Lockwood lias already j
. signified his readiness to pay in silver by
rctua'ly paying our check on him in coin.
Think of that ye hoarders of the precious
metals and learn of how little value it is
when a man will give it for an editors
order. It might be well to stall, however
that the amount called for was
something less lhau the amount mentioned
above, but wo know from ocular observation
that ha could have paid our entire
balance in silver quarters, and it would
not have taken Primus' horse lo carry
the load either.
| ?j 11K only oi\jecl of Admiral J.cii v V j'
j visit to Beaufort Inst Friday with the
6ne brass band from liis ship was uot, as
hnsbecn asserted, to see our celebrated
Sea Wall of which he had heard so much. I j
It was noted that while the Admiral wis <
absorbed in rapture as he gazed on this '
superb piece of architecture tho stony i
benrt of the wall seemed to beat respon- t
sive to his own nud the wall evidently 1
thought seriously of getting down on its 1
knees, nild Wnsoniv nrcventwl from do. .
ing so I)v Wing unable to decide on c
which side to get down, and the uncer- |
tainty of being able to get up again. r
The joyoiisuess of the event WhB celcbra- ?
ted in the evening by a bop at the 8ea
Islaud Hotel which Wna kept up till a T
late hour, and copious draughts of wine l
were quaffed to the noble structure and
tho health [of the scientific Mullctt to |
whom we are indebted for the erection j
of this great work of Art.
Thk county convention met on Friday last
and elected delegates to the state
presidential nominating convention.
The meeting was called to order at 4
p. m., with Lt. Gov. Gleaves in the chair. J
The committee on credentials were ap ?
pointed who reported, ns were expected, i
against the delegation from Grays Hill
headed by 8. D. Gilbert, and in favor of
the delegation headed by R. J. Haroil|
Ion. This decision was the cause of
many noisy speeches which were delivered
amid great confusion for several hours
when the convention having been made r
o believe that white was black adopted c
the committee's repori. I he slute ar ^
ranged was then produc< d and the run' ^
members came up to the rack and carried d
out the programme as they were told.
. The delegation consists of Tom. Hamil
ton, Sammy Green, Gantt, R. H. Gleaves,
William Wilson, 8. J. Bampfield and
Robert Smalls. There was not so much
drunkenness as is usually observed on
such occasions and but for the unjust
decision of the credential committee the
affair would have been unusually orderly.
Mr. Gleaves seems to control these boistftriilio

was denounced by Robert Smalls as a
defaulter to the state for money received
for taxes while he was county treasurer,

from the State twenty-five hundred dollars

?The eltiaens of Savannah seem to
have all the good things now afloat.
prominent jeweler of that city has had s .
spectator admiring his fine wares through i
the window for several days pust and
when his acquaintance was sought it
turned out that tl-" suppo?cd man was a
sure-enough spook, and now tha city
is all agog to see the new wonder. If
this great curiosity is decided to he a
greater attiaction than our Sea Wall we *
may give up the fleet as good as lost-but n
then the Savannah spectre is an April
first joke, and the taxpayers of Beaufort
can as yet see no joke in the Wall,

-Tiiet had r colored mem conven
tionia Memphis last week and a resolu'ion
was offered that the colored men South
of Mason and Dixon's line have corrupt
leaders, and that the race would not
pledge their votes to any hut good men,
Bras voted down with as much vigor as
was the resolution in our county conven- tion
on t he same day endorsing Cham
berlain. If the colored men of South '
Carolina would refuse to vote for ,;corrupt
leaders" they would be astonished to find
how few leaders they had left. t
