WwSm WEDNESDAY*.JUNE 28,
"VN itness nnd jurors certificates given
at the last term of court arc sold on the
street for five cents on the dollar.
Thoma9 calls the treasurer's office a
flesh pot. No doubt that is what it lias
been for some time pttdt.
Watermelons have appeared on the;
streets but the prices are out of all proportion
to the supply of greenbacks.
||f - Wm. Elliott Esq. left for St Louis j
last Saturday as a delegate to the Dem-1
t ocratic Convention. We are not inform
fed as to his choice for President.
The bill equalizing bounties has passed i
tlie House by a decisive vote, and the
colored volunteer hereabouts thinks lie
' will take his in the bright coin so abundant
just n nv.
Mr. F. W. Scheper sailed for NewYork
last Sunday in his pilot boat F. \V.
r Scheper jr. where he expects to have
the boat coppered, and do the Ccntcnuiui.
Immense quantities of shells nrj being
scattered over the town by the authorities,
and from the short time they last on
the streets, it seems as though some other
(substance would be more lasting and
economical if used in their stead.
The only sales by the sheriff for July
will be the personal property of C. E.
b "Warren in Beaufort on Tuesday next,
? and at Port Royal on Wednesday, and
the property of the Port Roial Cotton
Press Co., at Port Royal, on the same
day.
The
Pilot Boy camu into cot,tact on
Friday last in St. Helena Sound with the
steamer Morgan, the Pilot Boy being
struck on the port side forward of the
wheelhouse, doing some damage to the
^ rail and bulwarks.
The Seaweed arrived on Monday and
came up twice yesterday. On her first
trip she got aground twice, once trying
to get alongside the wharf and the other
in endeavoring to go through the cut-off
at low water. The Plymouth left yesterday
morning for Charleston to as-i*t in
the celebration. The flag ship Hartford
arrived yesterday with the Admiral.
The Standard and Commercial, owned
w
by George Holmes and Robert Smalls,
says no fraud or dishonesty was proved
against the treasurer at the last term of
court. The grand jury presented Itim
tor taking from the taxes of the year
1874 $8,850. as commissions when the law
limited his compensation to $2,503. But
then we do not pretend to say this was
either a fraud or dishonest.
*
v The children of the A. M. E. Church gave
an exhibition, at the church, on Friday
night, to a good sized audience, when the
sultry weather is considered. The exercises
oper.cdwith an address bv the pastor
Rev. Mr. Baker, followed by declaimi
tions, dialogues and recitations by the
children, and closed with an address
l?y Rev. J. 13. Middleton ol the
M. E. Church. Theso entertainments
by the little folks are becoming
very popular, another one being promis0
ed tonight in the Tabernacle Baptist
j Church. We hope they will meet with
| encouragement in their efforts to improve
themselves and amuse the public.
The school meeting on Saturday was
very well attended, Mr. J. C Mayo was
elected chairman and Dr. White clerk.
The clerk of the board stated that in
t making up tho annual report a discrepancy
waa discovered, and the board
requested an adjournment until they
could correct the error. Considerable
discussion ensued as to the delay but at
L the urgent request of Mr. Gleaves, one of
the board, the meeting adjourned over
1 till Saturday next ut 12 m.
The schooner W. W. Johnson, former
ly Pilot Boat No. 4, of Beaufort, while
l4 lying at an anchor off the point nt Sulli
W* van's Island in Charleston harbor Tues1
day night, parted her cable and drifting
on an ebb tide, struck Drunken J)ick
B, Shoal, and partially filled. Upon the
i return of the flood she was lelieved
from the skoal. She proved uumanagc
able, however, and capsized and quickly
I sunk in about six fathoms of water.
I The crew consisted of the mate J. W.
Johnson, and three colored hands. At
the time of her going over two of the
hands were lost. She afterward*, having
? got rid of her ballast, came to the surface
and was anchored near the city. She
afterward* went to pieces and proved a
totul wreck.
f The grand jury for this couuty in 1874
L endeavored to get some light as to the
disposition of the illegal capitation tax
ft collected for the fiscal jcar 1872 in this
county, by.Gcorgc Holmes, county treasurer.
For s >n?c good and sufficient
E reasons the report called for was never
.1 made and the grand jury was induced
t<? say no more about it. The grand
j uy for this year endeavored to find out
* if anything was wrong and appointed
:t committe \ wh^, after woikiug for a
week, found that two of the books ncrj
| missing, although they were told when !
j they began their work that the books |
wore all in the office. The court ordered ]
| the treasurer to produce the books and J
his attorneys answered that 110 such I
j books were in existence, but afterwards
I found they had been deceived and asked [
1 the court to permit them to withdraw
their answer. The court granted their
request and we have not hcai^l of any '
I further action. No charge of fraud is r
charged against the treasurer, but the' ?
grand jury want the books to verify and r
exhonorntc "the best treasurer Beaufort ,'
county ever had." 1,
Mr. Brisnnne of Brunson has published
a book entitled "Ben Botherum" which jA
he thinks is just the thing for agents to .
net rich in Helling. One chapter is dc- i
voted to the exploit of the escape of the
steamer1 Piazza' (Planter) from Charles- j
ton harbor during the war, and the! <
account is the tirst authentic one which i
shows the braverv exhibited by Captain!
Bob on that great occasion. The prom-j1
isc to divide, however, was not carried t
out as agreed upon, but when i
| Congress pass:s the hill now before I
ii there will best grand divvy all round. 1
I We any "When" tile bill passes. I.
i T. P. .Tones was tried in Walterboro
! last Wednesday for the murder of Brown, j
and acquitted. lie was defended by1
1 Mr. Whippcr and Judge Farmer, the sol- j
icitor being assisted in the prosecution 1
by Mr. F. A. Ilowlett. When the verdict
was rendered the court room was (
crowded with colored people .who ]
threatened not only to lynch Jones but (
also Mr. Whipper for defending him. i
I lie hlicrift was obliged to call out a posse j1
1 of fifty citizens to defend Jones who wns IJ
afterwards quietly sent away iu a car- t i
riage and is now at liberty.
j Mr. Jacob Apple writes us a letter |
| correcting the account we gave ot the
: encounter between himself and Hamil- <
! ton. He says that lie gave Hamilton
no provocation for the assault, but that \
J lie left the court with feelings of regret | i
j at the necessity ot his being compelled to i 1
roanrt ? 1...I? IT '
, ? ?' K" ???u.-jr. lie ,
I says further that having won his case i
j lie was perfectly satislied lnc he doubts!
'that rowdyism will over become the t
; accepted currency for paying old debts
We arc informed that Mr. Apple diil j
accuse Hamilton of perjury in court, but"
i how far that would justify his action on
this occasion is not a question for us to j
