TROUBLE AMONG THE COUNTY CEEDI-
ToEs.-There was considerable 1utter
yesterday among the people who have
most to do with County affairs. The
fncts OF the case, us nearly as can be
gathered, arc these: Last year, the
General Assembly authorized the levy
OF n tax Of two mills to pay the past in
debtedness of Charleston County. but,
by the terms Of the law authorizing the
lsvy, the money was directed TO bo re-
tanned III the County treasury until pro
Tlslon Tor disbursement had been made
ny legislative enactment. The money
was accordingly collected -butwcen II
$50. 600 and $6O.000. joint resolu
ton to provide for its disbursement ::as
passed by the General Assembly short
time ago, but is still without the Co
vernor's signature. In the meantime,
three or four knowing ones, it is said,
formed ring and purchased about
S5l. 200 worth of claims against the
County at liberal discount. These
claims were swiftly and silently prose.
cuted to judgment, as We are informed,
without opposition from the Solicitor OF
the Circuit. Judgments were obtained,
and yesterday the Sheriff levied upon
the fund. The County Treasurer sur.
rendered the money, and the captured
fund was at once applied in scttlem ent
OF the claims held by the ring OF judg.
ment creditors. The others applied to
Judge Graham for an Injunction to re.
strain the County Treasurer from paw.
ing out the fund. The Injunction was
granted by Judge Graham, but it came
too late. The Treasurer had surrender.
ed to the Sheriff, aud the fund was ou,
OF the reach Of the court, the last
named officer having distributed it in
satisfaction of the judgments under
which he was operating. The unpaid
creditors charge openly that the entire
transaction is put up job on the part
OF the Sheriff, Solicitor aud County
Treasurer, and TINT the Governor is
party to the plot, his part consisting III
withholding the law to regulate the dis
bnrsement of the fund. They declare
that they will prosecute the case to the
bitter end, aud talk Of bringing suit on
the official bonds of some of the officers.
There will be full hearing of the case
in the Court Of Common Pleas on Sa-
turday, when interesting developments
may be expected. Charleston Nrrs.
