The Treasury ExpediterSs
A SIX HUNDRED DOLLAR CASE.

The committee Investigating the Treasury
stealipgs is hard at work way down In the
basement of the building. Several new develop
ments have been reached, but the committee fs
very reticent as to its dolngs. One OF the mat
tiers that Is being looked into Is the mysterious
getting away OF $3.50. That amount Of money
was paid out for f1le-holders, but no flle-hold-
erS came In. There Is no trace OF their ever
having peen received. and how the money went
is what the committee is looking into. It is
alleged that it was paid out for campaign
printing by one OF the republican candidates

RICHMOND, Va, Jule 3.-The proceedings Of
the readtusters' convention took new and 10
teresting turn this morning. As soon as the
convention met the name OF Gen. Malone as
candidate for governor was withdrawn. Sub
sequently that OF Mr.. Rtddleberger was with
drawn, but many say that he Will yet be nomi-
mated when deadlock Is developed. Gen.
M9hone says he is the strongest man named.
The first ballot showed but little change In the
strength OF Cameron and Massey, the leading
candidates for governor. A resolution to drop
the lowest men, to narrow the contest to these
two, called forth b0isterous protests from the
friends OF all the minority candidates, and dis
order reigned In the body, but the resolution
was finally agreed to by an immense majority.

Strange Forgetfulness OF Noble Modest,

Strange Forgetfulness OF Noble Modesty'
EDITOR ANDERSON INrELL1GENcER:
Knowing well the deep interest you feel
in education, I take the liberty of directing
your special attention to the report of Pres
ident Miles of the South Carolina College,
in the Supplement to the Charleston New,
and Courier of 3Oth ult.
It is matter of profound regret that An
derson county, prosperous and enlightened
as it is, should have but one of her boys
enjoying the benefits of this noble institu-
ton.
The report of President Miles is highly
interesting and should be widely circulated.
I find one grave omission in it, however.
Mr.. Miles has spoken in high and well-de-
served terms of praise of most of the Pro-
fessors, but he has forgotten to mention one
whose youth of brilliant promise has ripen-
ed into vigorous and noble manhood; one
who, when scarcely man, stepped, adorned
with the highest honors of his class, into
the Professors chair-the co-laborer and
worthy peer Of men like Brantley, Finley,
Gibbes and Hawkesworth-at time when
the welfare of the College Of Charleston
was the caro- of men like King, Ravenel,,
UeaS, PetlSreW, dayue, teTonuetu aIlo
others of that stamp. President Miles has
forgotten to tell us Of the young man who,
counting his life cheap when humanity
called on him to risk it, went to poor DEATH
stricken Norfolk, and earned by his unset
fish devotion the love of Virginia. He has
forgotten to tell of the student called from
his books to take the helm and guide the
fortunes of Charleston safely into port.
Strange forgetfulness or noble modesty
The President has said no word of himself.
"QUANDAM."
