Charleston, Nov. 24,1872. !ho county has passed quietly into hands of the Holters, and all of the ted of that noble baud of-broth are now enjoying the fruits of their dunce. Commissioners have been ing down from Columbia by the e, bonds have been filed, and the iy elected candidates will soon be .'ing tho various modes in which intend to "run the machine"oi their -.?Wive offices. Their chief (Rowon) is loud in Iiis fair promises for the future ami tilo' only hope of tho taxpayers is thus he will maintain^his word and that his satellites will follo<v his example. Much confidence, however, is felt in the thrcocouuty ccmmissioners just elected,, ami,.as these hold tho pursestrings, the county cannot sutler over much from any mistakes-,, ignorance or rascality which may be developed amongtne newly elect. One of the most repulsive of the last mentioned, Aaron Logan, the black coroner, is pretty busy now. On Thurs day, Wm. Davis, a black, and Rustnv Conyers, u mulatto youth, quarrelled nt the six mile house,, ami. in. the scuffle which ensued, (Juniors-stabbed his-oppo nent fatally ini the chest. The- ccr.one* aud his jury, after- mature deliberation, termed.the affair a felonious- killing,, and Conycrs is in.jaih. Last Thursday,, a oolb/ed woman,, whilo moting. eottoui at tho extensive es tablishment of Mr.. John Wright, on .Edisto folandl.imKcb to light her pipe by striking a. match. In a few moments the large building was in flames and in an hour was burned level with the earth. A negro woman, 24 bags of sea island cotton, 10 McCarthy gins, steam engines, a large grist mill, grain elevator, etc., with ex tensive store fully stocked, and the huge building, were lost. The whole unin sured and valued at 835,000, exclusive of die first mentioned article. With the Boston and Chicago* fii*?* be fore them,, our city fathers are takisg steps to prove and. keep- up tho efficiency of our fire department. Each steamer is required to have 800 feet, and each hand engine 450 feet of strong, sound hoser ami tlvo coai^auios- ax a- being called* out by threes, and are required to- throw a stream 100 feet, through u 11 inch nouzlc and 200 feet of hose, with 40 pounds of steam on their engines. If the 800 feet of hose docs not stund this test, the com pany is requested to put chase enough new iiosc to make up 800 feet of good hose, and if they refuse to do this, the city buys the hose for them and deducts the cost from the pay of the engines. Tho method will certainly be a severe ordeal for tho pockets of the companies to withstand. There is much grumbling and from many signs it sceaae- that our \ boasted volunteer iure department is I doomed,, and will give place in a few! years fco u regular paid department. Few have the hose on hand to psoduce; aud a late resolution in Council to reduce their pay goes still nearer to efleet this result. This SuBvinors' Association ot this city had) a special meeting last Weduesday, and are making grand preparations for J the reception ot General J. B. flood, who is-to deliver mi address here on the 12th I ?? December,, before the annual meeting [?f the Association. The meeting was karge and this annual celebration prom I is es to be of some moment. On Friday,.city attorney D. T. Carbin, applied to Judge Graham, in court, for an injunction to restrain the Enterprise Railroad from laying their track (as I they were doing) with the iron several inches above the level of the pavement, and also from using the T iron which is expressly forbidden by an old ordinance. That part of the track finished is alrendy dangerously impassable to heavily laden vcliiclcs. The case was argued, and the Judge reserved his decision. To make a prediction?the iiij.uuction will certainly he granted and the irrepressible Timothy Hurley will find another instance that a court of justive is certainly a stronger barrier to wrong than a venal Legisla ture. As Hurley is now laying the track of the road it would he a fearful nuisance to everybody in the city except the stock holders^ and would cot off all approach by yc'ucUs to the Northeastern llailroad depot. Charleston is just preparing for a new excitement. Your readers willrccnl tho extravagant fears exhibited last year at the idea of the Georgia Central llailroad buying up a controlling interest iu tho stock of the South Carolina Railroad ut 40 cents, aud leasing the road. Not withstanding the cries of horror and the egging orr of tho Charleston papers, noth ing of the sort was attempted, Hnd in the past year, the stock has sunk from 40 I cents on the dollar to 2.1 cents. The j Georgia papers now say openly that the j Central Rood has actually bought up a controlling interest in the stork and will show their hand at the annual meeting next spring. Many think it would be a good lesson if tho Georgia Central would take tho road and show tho present ma.* ngement that it can be made to pay ? percent, and though a bitter pill for Charleston, it would afford relief to thous ands who cannot afford to sell their stock at present prices, and look vainly each year for some return on their ?ioaey in vested.

Oust Columbia Xxetifiiv FROST OUK OWN CORRES PONS ENT. Goi'iUMEiA,, Nov.' 25th, 1872. Toonorrow the Legislature convenes* The tax levy will probably be tho first question considered by the Assembly; tlie injunction (no defendants appearing) of dodge Melton directed to county audi tors and treasurers restraining the collec tion of taxes authorised and directed by J. L. Ncagle, comptroller general, has so tied matters that the nimble fingers of tho Assembly will be necessary to loose the Gordian Knot. An empty treasury,, an uncertain per diem, and tho clamor from the destitute public institution? will doubtless quicken'the action of tho?e servants of ike people.. It's- hard on Ncagle aad Parker that their- little gome of "seiving. dowt>" has been blocked, but it simply Scotches, not Kil1? the snake. It is rumored tho tax is to be reduced; that is what we want; delay in collection is a poor substitute for a future insis tancc.. I can scarcely hope though judg ing from, precedent, that tho Legislature will neglect its individual interest for the public weal. C*rcat indignation has been expressed by his party that Judge Melton should consider the tax payers to the detriment of tho treasury, and threats have been "made that some of his bread and butter slmll be taken from this bad boy on account of his naughty conduct. Now is the golden opportunity for the Assembly to win honor in the cause of reform, and prove "something" good may yet "come out of Nazareth."

It wns their An niversary and after the reading ami ac cepting of the Report of the Secretary Mr. Kirk Robinson, which contained the gratifying assurance that our Fair has been pecuniarily a success, tho Society proceeded to the election of officers with t he following result. Dr. W. F. Barton President J. L, Mooror, 1st Vice President. D. R. Barton,. 2d W. W. Wannamaker, tu Kirk Robinson*,. Secretary and Trees; Jj. R. Bcekwith,. Dr. John C. Holmaii, j J. D. Trezevaat y Ex*. iSbta. J. F. Izlnr, I! James Stokes. J It must be pleasing to all citizens of: our County to be assured by its members that the Society with its annual Fair is regarded as a promaneut thing. Its exis tence cannot fail to impart and maintain throughout the County an energetic vital ity among tho Agriculturists who are its bone sinew and support as also the intcli genoe and refinement if not the- political rulers of it. We believe our farmers will realize this fact and do thefn- utmost to assist the Presiaont of the Society in ear rying out his expressed desire of making our County Fair second to none through out the State. Upon being nominated the President thanked the Society for the compliment, saying also that he had served a year already and found the position so onerous as to render him desirous of retiring, but leaving the mnttcr entirely to the Society if re-elected ho would serve. He was re-elected, as has been. seentandthe menv bcrs of the Society together with him ajv peal to each citizen of our County to as sist in for warding the interest of this home undertaking in any way possible. Our Fair this year was a success in every way, and puts beyond question the fact, that if it enjoys the interest und sup port it deserves, Oaangcburg will have established in net midst, one Institution of great public importance, in which her white southern citizens can take unalloy ed pleasure aud Beute.
