All the cases against the county officers
'of "Charleston were nol prossed last
Monday. Great things were promised
from the?*) prosecutions but defective
bills of indictment puts an end to what
was expected to be interesting rcadiug to
the taxpayers, if not justice to the culprits.

"Many Voters" scud us a communication
advocating the nomination of Col.
Alfred M. Martin for State Senator in
^lace of Green, resigned. There can be no
'doubt of the entire fitness of Col. Martin
for the position* his long experience in
tbe Legislature eminently qualifying
him for the duties devolving upon the
Senator from this county. There is still
a do-jbt as to the resignation of Green,
it being said that it was contingent, or
mot yet filed. We do not doubt but an
'election will be ordered as soon as the
resignation is properly teudered and
accepted, wheu the many candidates for
the office will have an opportunity before
a Democratic convention to s<}curc the
^prize.
A decision of the Supreme Court requires
tbe poll tax of the past fiscal year
to be applied, first of all, to school claims,
dated prior to the 1st November, 1873.
The remainder of the poll tax, as also
the school tax proper now being collected,
has to be paid exclusively on such
claims as bear date subsequent to the 1st
November, 1876. It will be seen then,
on a moment's reflection, that there is
At present no fund applicable to those
school orders which bear date between
the 1st November, 1873, and the 1st
November, 1876. These claims cannot
be paid till some provisions to that effect
is made by the Legislature.
Mr. Leopold, one of the Commissioners
of the Freedmen's Bank, in
answer to an enquiry says that a dividend
of some amount will be paid this
winter or early in the spring of 1878.
They have on hand funds sufficient to
pay a dividend of ten per cent and a <
prospect of increasing it an additional
five per cent Within a month or six <
weeks and, if successful, they will declare
a dividend of fifteen per cent. Failing
in this they will pay the ten per cent
that they have. After the amount has
been decided upon it will require from ^
two to three months to extend the
dividend, write out checks, etc., before '
actual payment can be made.
On Saturday uight the Russians, fif- 1
teen thousand strong, secretly attacked '
Kars, carried all the forts, and by Sun- *
<by morning were in full possession of |
town. The Turks evacuated the \ lace |
and retreated towards Ezeroum. The i
Russians pursued and captured forty of j
the retreating Turkish battalions. The <
Turks lost five thousand men killed aud 1
ten thousand taken prisoners, besides t
300 cannon. The loss of the Russiaus is c
placed at two thousand scvcu hundred c
men. v

The South Carolina State Fair, which j1
has beeu open iu Columbia during the j i
last week, attracted thousands of i
people to the beautiful Capital of the
Palmetto State. From Virginia, North ]
Caroliua and Georgia were hundreds of, 1
citizens of those commonwealths, who, <
were anxious to congratulate the men and , 1
women of their sister State upon the i
restoration of liberty and prosperity. The I
view which they had of the Fair and of the 1
city convinced 'hem that South Carolina !
needed only the removal of the fetters
with which she was so long bouud to {i
restore her to her former proud position I
in the galaxy of States. '
The military display Thursday was the 1
liuest that has been seen in Columbia 1
since the war. There were niue infantry
and two artillery companies iu the line I
that marched through the streets, from 1
the State House to the Fair Grounds. 1
Among these were two visiting companies 1
from other States, the Clarke Light Iu- 1
fautry, of Augusta, and the Walker
Light Iufuntry, of llichinond, Ya.,
aud an artillery detachment from the 1
city of New York. The iiiclimonu iius- j '
sars, of Augusta acted as csctrt for 1
Governor Hampton and Governor Vance, 1
of North Carolina. Before the hour "
appointed for the military drill to com- ]
niencc arrived the grounds were almost 1
packed with people. Fully teu thousand '
must have been present. The Richland 1
Volunteers, of Columbia, were the first '
on the programme, and were followed 1
by the Clarke Light Infantry, of Augus- 1
ta. The drills commenced' with the {
manual of arms, the commands having
been written on sheets of paper by the
judges?three United States officers from s
the barracks at Columbia. The Manual !
was followed by field evolutions, and as
the different movements were performed 1
with the precision and ease of veterans
the crowd burst forth,, time after time,
into spontaneous applause.
The contest closed by the Governor's j
Guards, of Columbia', a fine looking body ,
f ?11 , j '
oi men, wen up in me ukiuuui uuu uvuiutioos,
and under command of an experienced
officer. This company was
applauded -by the crowd and certainly did
honor to Columbia. At five o'clock the
regiment, was marched up to the stand, (
where the judges announced that the %
prize for the best drilled sompany from j
any State in the United States and
also that for the best drilled company
from South Carolina, had been won by (
the Governors Guards of Columbia.
The Clarke Light Infantry, of Augusta,
had the next best record. At three |
o'clock Governor Hampton and Governor
Vance, attended by Governor Hampton's t
staff reviewed the troops.

Editor of the Tribune: t
The watchword of the times being "re- s
form," perhaps you will be disposed' to s
illow inc a brief space in which to state v
x means whereby a practical step could t
je taken in that direction, in Beautort
Dounty. And without any preamble by a
if ay of showing the advantages or neees- t
lity of retrenchment, and saving jn ex- F
y nditure, I will come at once to the 8
joint. Petition the Legislature to abol- b
sh the office of County Commissioner ! *
\nd as a substitute, let the Auditor be
:x-officio Auditor ot public accounts; let b
lis duties in that regard extend only to c
he examination, approval and settlement c
>f public aooounts. Limit the time to be '
levoted to that duty to the last three ?'
vorking days in each mouth, with four s
lays additional in the last month for re'iew
and settlement, making forty days &
it a compensation of $5 per day; with b
>ower to employ a clerk four days per *
Qonth and twelve days additional to make w
tp reports &c? at a per diem of $2, or a
otal cost of $320 per annum for running "
he County Commissioner's office, which w
s less than oue quarter of the average ^
ost tor five years past. In view of ^
he heavy debt lying upon the couuty, is
iot the saving of $1000 per year a
uestion worthy of consideration? And
very one at all experienced in, or
unversaut with affairs kuo s how
auch better a public or private dutv is
>ertormed, where all the responsibility ?
ests upon the one person who is charged ^
rith it, instead of being apportioned ?
uiong three or more, whose human c<
ature will incline each to rid himself

fancy that an investigation of the .

[. Martin, and with this view we now te
ooiinate him to till the vacancy in the ar
tate Senate from this county, as we
arn the present Senator (Green) intends g.

eople of this county to recommend Col. 0f
lartin?he is well known as one of their jn
iihfitl representatives in the State leg- e(]
lature for nearly twenty years. As soon | g(
: he graduated in the South Carolina i ^
ollege in 1845, he was elected by the 1 fc
?ople of tliis county, and his services 1 jDI
mtinued with onlv short intervals, until 0f
ie last session of the Legislature prior jn
Reconstruction in 1865.. D0
His long experience as a Legislator, tri
id extensive acquaintance in the State, tjc
Ided to his high character, makes him an
our judgment eminently fit to represent jal
in the Senate at this particular time. jg
Many Voters, j
Forfeited Lands. ^
n Army nnd Navy Pitrchn?cr'ii Views foi
of the New Bill. , ^
litor of the Tribune: gjz
In commenting on the Withers Bill th<
w before the Senate you >ay "there is pa)
thing objectionable in this hill." Lei On
js consider this point a moment. First, tl
,t is asked, where did the money realized p
from the S. C. Tax Sales 'come from? tl
Who put it in the treasury? Was it not a
paid in by a multitude of loyal citizens in : 0
the years 1804 and IS Go, on the strength ! t
jf printed and delivered contracts issued q
by the United States to said purchasers, | j,
ind were not both the spirit and the let-! j,
ter of all of those coutracts without exeep- j a
tion directly ignored and violated by the g
subsequent action of the United States? j e
It is impossible for any one to investi- i p
tjatc this question, regaiding the good j g
faith of government towards purchasers c
of Sea Island lands, without arriving at t
the conclusion that it uow occupies to- i a
icard* them the position of a party who
has obtained other men's money by false (:
pretences, by fraud. No logic cau hide p
this fact. One of the S. C. Tax Com- j n
missioners (the other not having been in- h
teiwiewed) has acknowledged to the writer g
that in his judgment this position is w
well taken and incontrovertible. b
Investigation will show, That the Uni- j<
ted States advertised public sales ot h
land, did so sell at public sale, received c
the required advance payments from nu- (.
oierous purchasers, issued deeds, with a Pa
sertain legal provision annexed (provid- 0
ing for a re-sale in cases of default on e
the deferred payments) vital to the due j,
protection of each buyers interests, and a
subsequently ignored and trod under foot
the very clause and the only clause of the t
issued deeds on which buyers could 0
ind did rely for their own protection in 0
easo of disaster and loss from any original t
ly unforsecn causes. . jr
Such disaster and loss did set in, all g
army and navy purehaseis found at the u
expiration of the three years that they
had (with a dozen possible exceptions) j
originally paid more than the full value
of their lands, bid off a time of uupreee- r
dented inflation, and they then fell back ^
on their reserved rights under their deeds; r
mlkisklt *?AoAwn/1 onrl miovnnfAAtl vinrlifc

bearing the broad seal of the United g
States were (in the throes of political ex- t
jiteinent) totally repudiated, the purjhasers
ousted by the United States, and
the lands returned where practicable to
their anti-bellum owners. If it were
possible for any government to inete out ^
shabbier treatment to deserving citizens ^
than that above referred to, such possi- ^
bility is not apparent to the writer.
In view of the above, who has the best
right to the first consideration in connection
with those Treasury monies? The
writer protests, in the name of common
lense, against any disposition of the |
nonies realized at S. C. Tax Sales until
lie conflicting claims of all parties in in
erest have been examined and adjudicat*
?d. Simple justice demands that some
tpportunity should be opened for the c
lolders of army and navy titles to j)ro. *'
luce their ilecd*. and at the same time
how that but for the repudiated clause of a
aid deeds the United States Treasure
* c*j
rould never have obtained possession of It
heir money. itThe
truth is that two district* equities T
re inextricably interwoven witlf the his- J'
ory of the manner iu which Government j,
tower has been exercised duriug and it
ince the war on the South Carolina seaioard,
and both should be provided for iu j *
he same bill. w
It may be remarked that nothing could in
c more unfair and unequal in its practi- j*
al operation as regards ante-bellum own- in
rs that this same Withers bill. Mr. A. yrhosc
property was sold at the period of !"
jflation would draw from the treasury fa
everal thousand dollars, while Mr. B , t?
he former owner of a more valuable cs- c1'
ite would find in the treasury for him Nl
uta beggardly hundred or two, and a
n i ? i .i - i i. n
rouKi reiuse it, ana me general resun ^
ould be that a few parties only would m<
raw their money, ninety per cent of the Ft
iterested parties would refuse, and the
hole question would be left to worry ex
roveruuient in like manner as it now mi
