THE SEA SERPENT AGAIN-The sea serpent,
which has now become a certainty-visited
our hatbor Wednesday afternoon for short
time, but finding the water too shoal he put
back to sea again. Aboat half past o'clock
Mr.. John Trefethen, the well known teamster,
was at work on Browns wharf when he no.
ticed great commotion in the water in the
dock. This dock like many others has been
dredged on either side to allow vessels to come
up to the wharves, while in the middle of the
dock there is large guam tity of mud. At this
time there was but little water on this mud as
it was very low water, and the serpent, or what
ever it was, appeared to be on this mud and
unable to clear himself. Capt Sawyer, of the
Washirg ton Hook and Ladder Company, who
was near was called, and he states that he could
see something above the water about the size of
bushel basket, which had the appearance of
being part of the serpent's back. 1t caused
great connection in the water and the waves
struck the wharf as hard as though there was
a heavy sea outside. The water became very
muddy at last, and before the men could reach
the creature he was making his way out of the
dock and was soon lest to sight. After the
tide went out the mud showed the mark where
the serpent was stranded. The mark on the
mud was over sixty feet in length, but Captain
Sawyer thinks be was about third that length

CARDOZO AND DUNN.

of the South Carolina Bank and Trust Com

Herald of Friday last
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF STATE TREASURER,
COLUMBIA, S. c., September 13, 1875. }
Hon. T. C. Dunn, Receiver Of the South Caro-.
lima Bank and Trust Company:
S1R-After careful reflection upon the con-
versations held with YOU on the 9Th and llth
instant concerning the failure of the South
Carolina Bank and Trust Company, have
deemed it my official duty, as treasurer OF
South Carolina and creditor of the above
mentioned bank, to request you to allow me
to make an investigation into the causes Of the
failure of that bank.
do this for two reasons First, because you
are simply the receiver Of that bank, and, as
such you are simply amenable to the court
for the collection of the assets, and the duty
of the court at present being the distribution
of the money realized from these assets among
the creditors through referee; second, be-
cause regard the failure Of that bank, at the
time it failed and for the amount of liabilities
reported outstanding, as simply inexplicable
upon any ordinary business theory.
You will oblige me, and, l think, serve the
public interests, by complying with this re.
quest at your earliest convenience. Very re-
spectfully, &C., F. l.; CARDozo'

s1OO, 900 or $l5O,O0O. But in Justice to their

100000 or sl5O,OOO. But in justice to their
creditors the firm did not do this, but took
the course which seemed most beneficial to
those who had con6ded in them. The city
is the heaviest creditor, having about $4,000
in the bank, money accrued from the sale of
city bonds, which the bank had disposed of.
There are no other creditors whose claims ex-
ceed $4,000, and likely none who have over
81, 800 with the bank. 1t is currently ru-
mored that the liabilities of the bank are be-
tween SlSO,OOO and 100000, and the assets
all the way from S25, 800 to $4,000; but this
is mere su pposition, and not to be relied on,
as the firm themselves do not know anything
about it, nor will they until statement is
prepared. The prevalent belief is, however,
that not over forty per cent. of the liabilities
will be met; but this also is conjecture.

LETTER FROM CHESTER.
CHESTER, September 20, 1875.

CHESTER, OeptemDer LO, Io'o.
The prospects favoring the sale of the
Chester county bonds are Frightening. Our
people are becoming more and more con-
vinced of the fact that these bonds are safe
and splendid investment. They rest upon
the entire property, real and personal, of the
county, which, according to the late assessed
value, amounts to over three million dollars
1t is, consequently, evident that, as an invest
ment, they are perfectly safe. Indeed, it is
almost impossible to conceive of an invest
ment resting upon safer basis. The inter-
est upon the bonds has been, and will be, reg
ulary met every year, without any posslbili'
ty of failure as the Treasurer is required BY
law to levy and collect sufficient amount to
meet the interest. In addition to meeting the
interest, another duty of the Treasurer is to
collect, by taxation, every year, certain
amount, to be applied to the payment of the
principal. The inevitable result of this re.
tirement of the bonds will be their apprecia'
ton in value. An ignorance Of the status OF
the bonds, combined with the strlngency OF
the money market, has heretofore been an
obstacle in the way Of their sale; but as this
ignorance is giving way to knowledge OF
their condition, the obstacle will be removed,
and the sale of the bonds effected with great
er ease. Several of our substantial farmers,
with whom I have talked in regard to the
matter, are thoroughly convinced Of the safe
ty and excellence of the bonds in the way OF
an investment, and express their desire and
intention of investing in them. When the
sale once begins, 1 believe that buyers will
multiply amazingly. The Directors of the
Chester and Lenor Railroad Company, IN
behalf of which enterprise the bonds were
issued, are exceedingly anxious to effect a
sale of the bonds, so that they can, without

DEATH OF JOE CREWS.

Joe Crews, who has gained more noto,
riety, perhaps, than any Radical politician
who has figured in South Carolina politics
since the days of reconstruction, died at his
residence in Laurens county on Monday
night of last week, from the effects Of gun
shot wound inflicted by an unknown assassin
early on the Wednesday morning previous
The facts connected with the assassination
we have already published. The impression
generally prevails that the deed was commit
ted in retaliation for the assassination and
murder of DR.. Shell, in Laurens county, sew
en- or eight years ago and it would seem that
Crews himself felt that the charge of his com
plicity in that deed led to his assassination,
as he is reported to have said but few min
utes before breathing his last, on referring to
the charge connecting him with the murder
of DR.. Shell: 81 have been murdered, but l
have committed no crime. I die an innocent
man. l had nothing to do with instigating
the murder of any man. Judge Mackey and
Gov. Chamberlain know l am innocent"
Since the death of Crews, officers of the
law, Is we'll as friends of the deceased, have
been active in their efforts to detect the per
petrators of the deed, and already Washing
ton and Walter Shell, the brother and neph
ew of DR.. She'll, have been arrested for al
legged completely in the shooting of Crews
Much excitement prevails in Laurensville
and the streets are being patrolled night and
day in consequence of reports to the efec
that the negroes of the county have expressed
their determination to murder the Messrs
Shell in retaliation for the killing Of Crews.

COLUMBIA, September 16, 1875.
Hon. F. L. Cardozo, Treasurer Of South Car
olina:
S1R-I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your communication Of the 18th in
etant, in which you say, after careful refec-
ton, that you have deemed it your official du-
ty, as treasurer of South Carolina and cred
itor of the South Carolina Bank and Trust
company, to request me to allow you to make
an investigation into the causes OF the failure
of that bank.
l have the honor to reply, after careful re.
flection, that do not recognize your official
duty as treasurer of South Carolina, or your
personal right as creditor of the bank, to
make the investigation you propose.
IF, as receiver of the bank, | am simply
amenable to the court for the collection of its
assets, as you are pleased to declare, and have
no authority to make an investigation into
the causes of its failure, as you are pleased to
intimate, am at loss to conceive how can
confer such an authority upon you.
tits proper for me to inform you, however,
that under larger apprehension of my au'
thority that you seem to entertain, am ma
king such an investigation as you would ap-
point yourself to make; and that, as soon as
that investigation is completed, l propose to
report the results to the court, for its proper
action and for the information of all con-
cerned.
In the meantime it will be my duty and my
pleasure to afford all the information l may
have at any time to any creditor OF the bank
who may desire to obtain it.
AS the State of South Carolina is creditor
of the bank, it will be my duty and my pleas
ure to afford such information to any one au-
thorized to obtain it on her behalf. At my
own suggestion and your motion, the financial
board, which directed portion of the State
moneys to be deposited in the bank, has al
ready requested me to furnish it with infor'
nation substantially the same as you desire to
obtain and intend, at the earliest moment,
to furnish it with such information, and with
any other information it may at any time re-
quest me to furnish it with. AS State treas.
urer, you are member of the board, and will
be possessed of all the information that may
be laid before it; but am not aware OF your
having any right, as State treasurer, to re-
quire any information not common to the
other members of the board, or to make any
exclusive investigation in this particular
Nor am I aware of your being creditor
of the bank, as you allege yourself to be-
