opinion thai the giving way OF the guy-rope OF

DIStari!y Act.

Last Saturday evening just after dark
the Office of this paper was broken into,
and quantity Of printing material re-
moved therefrom, consisting of the in
side form of a small political campaign
paper which had just been prepared
for the press. The value in dollars and
cents might probsbiy reach SlUO, but
sufficient to cause us some inconven-
ience to replace, which could not be
done short Of the D0rth. While we re-
gret the loss, we care not to draw up
on our fund Of eXp!etives to publicly
condemn the deed. To say it was dam
nable Is much TOO mild for our use, be-
yond that we must forbear. flour po-
litical opponents thinks by any such
means to silence US, they are mistaken,
and the act itself only proves that our
articles are truth from first to last, and
canno. be denied. 1t would have been
much more creditable for the instiga-
tor and abettor of this outrage to have
resorted to eeme other method of re-
veuge than by stealing our material,

become a luxury to him, that he can
not resist, aud when the risk is too
much. he sets on his lickspitties and

TOmlinsOn or Moses.

Just in the Presidential campaign,
the contest has narrowed down to
choice between Greeley aud Grant, so
in our State election our people have
only the alternative Of giving their
support to the one or the other of the
Republican candidates. There is no
Democratic or conservative ticket IN
the field. 1t is too late to bring ont
uno new,-and it would be hurttul to
bridge out one if time did permit. We
say this upon the hypothesis, which, in
our Judgment, is correct, that the Dol
ters' ticket is not only far better than
that of their opponents, but that it is
as fair Republican ticket as reason
able people could expect. Of the Mo
ses ticket 1t is useless to speak, and it
is certainly disgusting. With one, per-
haps two exceptions. the candidates
are scarcely whit better than leader.
They are as bad as bad can be. His
supporters talk glibly of Moses repen-
tance. and the wonderful changes for
the better which will come over him
when Governor. Where has he given
the first signs Of repentance He does
not even confess his crimes, except
when forced to do it, and then only
for the purpose of palliation or excuse.
IF Moses is elected we venture the
prediction that a tax Of not less than
twenty-five mills on the dollar will be
levied next winter. The interest on
the public debt may not be paid. We
have not the remotest idea that 1t will,
but the people will be taxed to pay it.
The extravaganza and profigacy of
the past two years will be as a mole
hill to mountain in comparison with
that which Moses will inaugurate
The bond frauds are pretty well played
out. but it will he upon the pockets of
the people that Moses and the precious
crew to whom he is bound will iasten
their clutches. Then it will be that
the tax payers will feel as they have
never vet felt the burden and oppres-
sion of official corruption. 1t will come
directly upon them, and there will be
no escape from it save in revolution.

The Court of General Session.

The October term Of the court began
on Monday; the Hon. Jno. j. Maher,
the recently elected judge of the second
circuit, presiding.
The criminal docket is less formida-
BILE than usual for Beaufort county, on
" some fifteen bills of indictment hav-
ing been given out; and but for the
nearness of the election, which prevents
many witnesses from attending, and
the escape of several prisoners from or
ficers sent to arrest them, or from the
iail all the criminal business would be
finally disposed of during the session.
The presiding judge evidently pos
sesses the precise qualifications needed
by one occupying the position; uniting
suavity with frmness and dignity, clear
ness and precision O. statement IN his
addresses, with learned exposition OF
law points, and enforcing the rules
too often neglected which are calcu-
lated to render court the sanctuary OF
order and justice.
The following bills have been found
By the grand jury:
The state VS.. Scipio Balnwell, larce-
ny-true bill.
The state vs.. Morris Miller, assault
with intent to kill.
The state VS.. Henry Johnson, assault

glary and larceny-true bill.

A heavy Robbery.

Mr.. Kirlin. Of the firm of Kirlin,
Callaghan & Co, contractors on the
Port Royal Road, is paymaster Of the
hands. and stationed at Sand Bar Fer
ry, where the bridge across the Savan-
nah River is being built Last Sunday
he had in his tent trunk which con
tanned about one thousand dDllars in
currency. Between the hours OF elev
en- and one O'Clock be left his tent for
the purpose of superintendlng some
work gong on in the river. He re-
manned at his work for about two
hours, and then returned to his quar-
ters for dinner. On entering the tent
he was of course, much surpris, d to
find that his trunk had been forced dur
ing his absence, and was lying open.
An examination OF its contents proved
that it had been robbed of four hun
dred and forty-four dollars, the re-
naming five hundred and fifty six dol
lars not having been touched. There
was no positive evidence pointing to
the perpetrator of the act, but the cook
Ia colored man was arrested on sas-
picion-he having been in the imme-
diate proximity of the tent during the
absence of Colonel Kirlin.

GREAT EXCITEMENT AT BAY POINT
The Mythical Sea Serpent.


The great ubiquitous denizen of the
ocean so often seen in various parts OF
the aquatic world made his appearance
of Bay Point Sunday afternoon about
three o'clock. The gentleman who
witnessed his great serpentship, states
when he first saw the monster he was
heading for Trenchard's Iulet, but
subsequently changed his course to-
wards the point. He states that he
should Judge him to have been sixty or
seventy feet in length. His head was
entirely out Of water, and as large as a
barrel. There were protuberances or
humps upon his back which Were seen
Just above the water, eight in number.
After taking good survey of the
land he swan to a point midway be-
tween Hilton Head and Philips Island
and then started seaward. The gen.
tlemen could see him distinctly until
he reached the outer bouy. when he
again changed his course and was then
lost sight Of The day was mild
and still, and his royal snakeship, un-
doubtedly had a good time. The wa
tiers of South Carolina have had and
| still contain wonderful specimens of the
funny tribe, according to Agassiz, but
We doubt if the much spoken of sea-
serpent was ever seen before, basking
in southern waters. Perhaps his or
her aquatic highness, may be degen-
crate production of the plesiosaurus
family and came to visit his Or her an
ces.ral home. This is undoubtedly
the same one that was seen last spring
by the people of Nahant

pRESESTMENT OFTHE GRAND JURY

For the October terra Of Court l>'2'
The Grand Jury respectfully report
that they have visited the jail, the
poor house and the several pubic
offices, and that they all present the
appearance of beng properly kept.
The jury beg leave to bring before
the court the very exorbitant amount
that is in some cases paid to witnesses.
They will cite an instance: During the
sitting of the last court an individual
was indicted for resisting the Town
Marshal. and two other individuals On
two separate indictments, one for re-
sisting the same officer and the other
for effecting the rescue of the prisoner.
The witness were the same on each
of these indictments, each witness
received five separate witness tickets
for nine days, and four for one day.
The first named case was postponed
on the ninth day, and the other two on
the tenth; so that each witness recelV-
ed for his attendance S73.5)-seventy-
three dollars and fifty cents.
They recommend that law be altered
so that witnesses shall be entitled TO
only one witness ticket, when sum-
moned to testify on cases arising out Of
the same occurrence.

We hope the apathetic feeling that
has existed in the minds of the voters
will be forgotten and one more effort
made to give us au honest admlnstra-
ton in South Carolina. Her reputa-
tion is not so far gone but what it can
be regained if an effort is made by those
desirous Of good government. There
is no cause for remaining quietly at
home because you are tired OF poll
tics, and don't care which wins"
Every man must consider that he has
duty to perform and on him rests the
responsibility for his inaction. Another
two years of misrule and our State
is hopeltssly gone "a military or terri
torial administration is the only alter
native. The name Of Reuben Tomlln-
son is an honor to the State, and the
only man who can restore confidence
to the people, and peace within our
borders.

We regret there is such a feeling o.
Indifference in our State election as
seems apparent to US. Many people
assert with degree of certainty that
the State is continually drifting from
lad to worse, and to attempt to rescue
her would be madness. To enunciate
such doctrines is impolitic. We have
q lasting faith i'll the ballot box, ana
NV these means only can we once more
Mace the State in the proud position
she has occupied. The people are yet
supreme, but if this apathrtic feeling
continues to gain ground, and let the
election pass by without any concerted
action to place honest men IN power
then we must accept whatever princl-
rles or men the opposing party may
give US -,
We do not look nor act as one with
out hope. We believe that Out OF all
these financial complications, gooo
will accrue thereby. The intellect and
ability to bring order out Of this chaos
;s centered in our candidate, Edwin
f. Gary, against whom not a wills
ner can be heard, not even by his no-
