THE BOND QUESTION

A correspondent of the Nescs asserts
that the taxpayers counsel will be
ready to institute their separate pro-
ceedings in very few days. All the
necessary preliminaries have been pref
ty much arranged, the plan and scope
of the suit fixed upon, SC. Attorney
General Melton has consented to allow
the use Of his name so that one great
stumbling block has been gotten over.
A regular complaint will be filed in the
Circuit Court on the part of certain
citizens, taxpayers, &C., alleging the
fraudulent character Of certain. Of the
bonds, the danger to the plaintiffs Of a
levy upon their property to pay the in
terest upon said bonds, and prayer
for investigation, and relief
If this suit is properly pressed before
Judge Carpenter we think that 30
much light can be let in upon the ques-
ton as will set at rest all question as
to the validity the conversion bonds.
We must insist that the comptroller
and Attorney General have a duty to
perform in this matter. They have as
serted the existence offrauduleDt bonds
to the amount o seven millions Of dol
lars. IF there was crime of this enor-
nous character there must be one or
more enormous criminals. Why were
not criminal suits compenced against
them. If the state officers have sufflci-
ent evidence before them to pronounce
seven millions of bonds to be fraudulent,
they ought to have evidence enough to
convict the men who put them upon
the market. Mr.. Parker late state
treasurer, is certainly one of the most
responsible Of the late financial board.
why did the attorney general allow
him to start for Europep
1t begins to look as if the assertions
in regard to the fraudulent bonds were
very recklessly made, or that while the
administrationists hate the crime they
either love or fear the criminals.

How the City Of Washington Was
Wrecked.
HALIFAX, July s.

The following are the details of the
wreck of the steamship City of Washing.
ton: She left Liverpool on the oath Of
June, and saw neither sun nor stars dur
ing the passage. 1t was therefore i'm
possible to make observations. When
sho struck Saturday afternoon objects
could not be seen three yards ahead
she was going about nine knots when
she stranded. Perfect order prevailed.
Twenty-eight cabin and four hundred and
eighty. y.one steerage passengers were safe
ly landed by the ships boats and small
crafts attracted by the steamers gun.
The sea was calm. The distance to the
main land was only quarter Of mile.
The escape from total destruction of all
on board was providential. Hopes are
entertained that the steamer will be got
off if the calm continues. The ship has
very valuable miscellaneous cargo.

Inquest.

Deputy coroner DR.. John johnson,
held an inquest on the 4th., about three
miles from Beaufort, on the body Of a
colored man named Bob. Grant. The
verdict of the jury was that the deceased
came to his death by the accidental dis
charge ola gun in the hands of his son
Jack Grant. The circumstances seem
to have been that by an arrangement
made between the father and son, Jack
was out on the morning in question mind
ing the oldsman's oorn-6eld and hearing
a noise in the corn, before it was yet
light supposed it was a coon, and blazed
away. Much to his amazement and
horror he brought down his father.

THE RATE AND AMOUNT
OF Taxation for the County Of Beaufort,
BY Townships.
Letter From DR.. ]. 4. Johnson.

Mr.. EDITOR
My thanks are justly due you for the
continued courtesy with which you have
opened your columns to my rather ex-
tended "reminiscences of Beaufort and
the Sea Islands. - Much that was con-
tanned in those numbers was of limited
interest to the majority of your readers !;
and not few of the sentiments so kindly
admitted by yourself, without erasure or
comment, were known to be in conflict
with your own avowed opinions. Having
thus enjoyed, at your hand, "the free
dom of the press" tits alike pleas
ure and duty to make this acknowledge
ment through the same liberal channel.
Inow ask the addition of another ia
vor: Permit me to perpetuate the names
of those who, natives of our Parish, gave
their lives for the "lost cause, " This
roll of honor is intended to contain alike
the names of those who fell on the field,
who otherwise died in the service, and
those who, smitten with disease, survived
the war for brief time, only but were
never restored to health. l have done
my best to make it complete but my re-
sources for information have been meagre
indeed. If, therefore, there is any
omission, ! will be particularly grateful to
any one who will furnish me the correc-
ton.

the bald-headed. We recently promul-
gated the doctrine of a Washington
physician that bald headed men were

in refutation of that gloomy theory, that

The Cholera at Chattanooga.

yesterday, from trustworthy source:
DALTON, GA, July 5.
1t may not be very interesting to you,
as you are so far away, but l would state
just for information, that the cholera is
killing everybody up in G Chattanooga, only
thirty.eight miles from this place. l
assure you it is the most awful epidemic
that ever visited this country. The papers
from some selfish motive, do not give
half of the dreadful details. Some physi-
clans deny that it is cholera, but what
difference does it make, as nearl ly every
person taken dies2 We had a refugee
from Chattanooga to come here, in per.
feet health to all appearances, and died
in eight or ten hours after being taken.
On yesterday it was reported that the
grave digger's" in said town became
panic-stricEen and deserted the dead
bodies at the cemetary. The half has
not been told.-Ne,os.
