Sinking Fund Investigation

The committee appointed by the Cen
eral Assembly to investigate the traDsac-
aons Of the sinking fund commission,
now somewhat of a historical part of
South Carolina, after several vain
attempts, succeeded yesterday in obtain
ing enough members fora quorum. The
committee met in the room of the speak
er of the House of Representatives, in
the State House, the following named
being present, viz: Hon. Robert Smalls,
Senator from Beaufort, chairman, and
Senator Dunn, of Hory, and Represent.
atives Simkins, of Edgefeld, and Meyers
of Beaufort; A. Williams, Esq, Of Beau
fort, the clerk of the committee, was also
present. Attorney-General s. w, Mel
ton, assisted by Hon. r. B. Elliott, rep
resented the cause of the State as counsel.
The whole of yesterdays session was
employed in taking the testimony OF ex.
Governor r. X. Scott, which it is under
stood is voluminous. The Ex-Governor
is to be recalled again to day at 1890 A.
NJ, at which hour the committee recon
venes. The proceedings will not be given
to the public, it is understood, until the
examination of witnesses is completed, il
being understood that all concerned with
the proceedings of the committee have
been put upon their oaths not to diyulge
until properly authorized so 70 do. Were
one to do little guessing, 1t would bt
natural to suppose that the Ex-Governor
yesterday, gave some very interesting
testimony.-Union Herald.

The First Caterpillars.

Concerning the first introduction Of
this scourge upon the seaboard, says the
Macon Telegraph, we have the authority
of Mr.. John Couper (now deceased "a
highly respectable citizen Of St. Simon's
island, and the father of the late James
Hamilton Couper, for saying that it was
originally imported from the Bahamas in
the seed of sea island cotton. Quite o
number ofgentlemen had emigrated fr m
abroad to the chain Of islands on the Car
DINA and Georgia coast, and were very
p.oftably engaged for several years in
rearing the long staple cotton, Finding
that the seed was deterioratiDg and rcn-
ming into the upland, they sent back to
the Bahamas for a new supply. The
egg, it seems, had been secrcted in some
of these seeds, and the very next season
the fields of all who used the imported
article were infested with caterpillars.
The winter on the coast was so mild
that the larva of the insect survived the
cold season, and it has existed here ever
since. One ofour own most reliable citi-
zcns has often heard Mr.. Couper mention
this fact, which is, moreover, corrobora-
ted by the knowledge that the Hessian
fly is often propagated through seed
wheat in the same way.

The Largest Bona Eide Circulation
THE COUNTY POOR.

After reading the remarks of our
contemporary last week on the county
poor, we took a ride to the poor house.
We feel compelled to deny the asser-
tion that many of its inmates are fit
for labor. We do not see that the
commissioners would be justified in
turning a single inmate out of the poor
house. In fact the place is county
hospital. Extreme age, wounds, de.
formity or almost hopeless disease was
was evident in each case. Nor do we
think that the abuse of intoxicating
liquors is the cause Of the disease which
disables them from earning living.
1t will be admitted; We presume, that
the extreme age of some of them is not
due to strong drink. We think the
money spent by the county in taking
care of the poor wretches in our poor
house ought not to be begrudged.

The Crime and the Criminals.

Can there be a forgery without a
forgerp What would be thought of a
firm which should decline to pay note
because the signatures were forged,
and at the same time would continue
to employ and trust the man who made
and passed the bogus note? Would it
not be thought that either the note
was genuine or the whole party were
in a conspiracy to defraudp What Is
the position of our state administra-
ton on this so.called fraudulent bond
businessP The comptroller and the
attorney general denounce seven mil
lions of bonds as frauds but they make
no attempt to bring to justice, the men
who made and sold these bonds. On
the contrary, the chief magistrate,
when called upon to name committee
TO act for the state on a solemn occa-
sion, selects the men, who, if there are
any fraudulent bonds, were the ones
responsible for their existence.

The Bond Case.

A rumor is current in Columbia that
Morton, Bliss 4 Co., will get the mar
damus asked for by them to compel
the comptroller to levya tax to pay
the interest on their bonds. We do
not believe that The attempt will be
made to collect another tax this year.
We hope some means will be taken TO
get the investigation Of the bond mat
ter before the courts. To our mind
this is the vulnerable point in the
armor of the robbers. To let the leg
islature decide such question, would
be like leaving the protection of ffemale
honor to public prostitutes.

The Nemesis of Politics,

Upon the heads of the people who
stand aloof and allow their interests to
suffer by the mismanagement of profess
sional wire pullers and unscrupulous pol
iticiaus, very justly and naturally falls the
burden which such agents impose. This
is the Nemesis of politics.-Charleston
Chronicle.
Our Nemesis comes in the shape of
Morton, Bliss s. Co., seven millions of
bonds for which the state received but
little money, nearly two millions of
Blue Ridge script to be provided for, a
million of treasury notes issued for pay
certificates, from three to FIVE millions
of other kinds of floating Indebtedness,
two millions of unpaid interest. We
may try to throw the burden upon the
bondholders, upon Scott, Patterson or
Parker, upon creditors of the state,
upon one party or the other, but in the
end, we must take the burden upon
our own shoulders.

Board of Health.

On Wednesday a meeting of the
board of health was held at the office
of the Intendant. Present, Messrs.
Boyce, Thompson and Elliott. The
intendant reported to the board the
measures so far taken TO clean up Il
town. After a full discussion it YVES
deemed dangerous to disturb drains or
sinks, otherwise than to distribute
lime and dry earth in such places as
may be offensive. The board resolved
to notify citizeus to give Immediate
attention to their premises. 1t was
also resolved to proceed to a careful
inspection Of the town. The duty OF
wardens was referred to in this con-
nection and they were recommended
to perform it without delay. Mr.. VIM.
Elliott resigned his place on the board
as he is to be away the greater part of
the summer.

The Great Eastern for Port Royai.

1t is stated, says the Augusta Chroni-
Gle, that so soon as the Great Eastern has
finished laying the new ocean cable she is
to return to Liverpool with cargo Of Is,
600 tons of Nova Scotia coal. The
thought occurs to us, why could not she
be chartered for an excursion trip from
Liverpool to Port Royal2 There is no
impediment at Port Royal which could
hazard the venture. This Leviathan can
enter Port Royal harbor at any stage Of
the tide, and can do what cannot be done
in anyother harbor on the Atlantic coast,
can lay alongside ofthe wharf, discharge
and receive her cargo, saving the ex-
pense of lighterage. The arrival Of the
Great Eastern at Port Royal harbor, with
a cargo of immigrants for the West, and
her return to Liverpool with an assorted
cargo of Southern cotton and Western
wheat, put on board directly from the
railroad boxes, by means Of donkey en-
gine would do more to display to the
| world the merltS OF fOrC hoyal narpOr
and Southern facilities for cheap trans
portation than thousand leaders in the
| London Times. Indeed, let the trip be
made, and the Times and all the infuen-
tial journals Of Europe would be COM
PEELED to chronicle so noted fact, and
write editorials thereon. In the absence
of any reliable data for an estimate, the
return cargo required would be about 40,
900 bales of cotton. with about 10000
600 of bushels ofwheat and corn, or their
equivalent in -four and meal. IF this
could readily supplant the estimate with
a few millions ,ftons ofGeorgia iron and
Carolina phosphate rock. Let us have
the Great Eastern by all means.-Aug,ls-
ta Chronicle.

The summer was bursting from sky and plain,
Thrilling our blood as we bounded along

A black sea-creek, that like Q snake
Slipped through low green league Of sedge,
An ebbing tide and setting sun,
And hut and q woman by the edge.
Her back was bent and her wool was gray;
The wrinkles lay close on her withered face;.
Children were buried or sold away;
The freedom" had come to the last ofa race.
She lived from neighbor's hominy pot;
There was praise In the hut when "the pain

The air was full ofa music low,
And the guest divine stood at the door.
Aye, 1t was true that the Lord Of Life,
Who seeth the widow give her mite,
Had watched this slave in her weary strife.
And shown himself TO her longing sight.
The hut and the dirt, the rags and the skin,
The groveling want and darkened mind,
looked on this-but the Lord, within,
Il would what he saw was In me TO hndD
A ild-like soul he found, with force
To see what the angels see In bliss
She lived and the Lord liyed-so Of course
They lived together. She knew but this.
And the life that had almost despised
As something to pity, so poor and low,
Had already borne fruit that the Lord 80 prized,
He loved to come near and see 1t grow.
No sorrow for her that the life was donei

whole force was soon on its way towards
the eastern extremity ofthe island, while
midway, in the bay, could be seen one Of
the enemy's gun-boats making its way to-

ance OF the provision which had been
made for our transportation to St. Hele-
ma hence had encountered themselves as
little as possible with their personal
effects. The generous people of st. Hell
ena had collected large number of fats
and boats which were sent across to an
obscure landing, by which means the
troops were conveyed across with safety
and dispatch. Landing at DR.. jenkins
place or Station Greek, they set out for
White Hall ferry without awaiting the
approach of day.
A.few stragglers and exhausted soldiers
bivouacked in the Bay Point woods, and
reached st. Helena on the morning of
the 9Th. The Federals attempted to
cut off the retreat of the Confederates
across Skulk Greek. from Hilton Head,
but were foiled. On our side, they sup
posed retreat impossible, and were con-
tent to land and take their prisoners the
next day. They found one of the two
men whose arms had been shattered, he
having preferred to remain and fall into
their hands. All the rest had reached
St. Helena without casualty. Though
defeated by the Armada, twas satisfac-
ton to the gallant little band to reflect
upon the disappointment and chagriu OF
those who counted so surely upon a long
roll of prisoners. Before sun set on

Royal was, by no means, fruitless work.
Uudoub,ed y The possession of this mol e
harbor so conveniently situated, was in
calculably valuable, nay indispensable
for successfully carrying out operations

notes to a close. Following Immediately

the dispersion of the people of Beaufort.
