The contract of John C McKae J- Co. is
his first subject. This was a work of con

character of the work, hit first notice being
of the trail taction tehich closed it, and upon
which 1 happened to have a port in the
board. 1 be brief facts as to this settlement
are a very plain tale : After the conclusion
of the work, repeated applications were
made to the board by the contractor for a
Gnal settlement. Not once or twice, but
in ;iny times, it had been represented to the
board, as no doubt any member of that day
can attest, the difficulty of effecting this set
tlement, because there was no personal in
tercourse between the President, Chief Ku
ginecr and contractors. The board, seeing
there was no other mode of settlement, ap
pointed a committee, as was their duty, to
inquire into l be facts aud report bow to ef

Deliberate Murder,
While at our Depot on Fridy night last,

a deaf and dumb man on a nan
There was some misunderstanding
them relative to some hen's nests the deaf
and dumb man wanting them uear tbe gran
ary, aud bis half brother wanting them
somewhere else had pulled them down
twice. The deaf ond dumb man then by
sii-ns told his half brolher that he would
shoot bim. He tried by signs lo di-su.ide
bim from this, but when be went to the
house he got his rifle and loaded it, and as
soon as his brother came io he shot him in
the left breast, killing him immediately.
He then took his double barrelled gun and
rifle aud provisions for some days and pro-
eeaded to a little bouse, lie bad built and
refuse to be taken. Knowing his deter
mination, the coroner with hi posse were
afraid to attempt to take him. We under
stand the lawyers about llillsboro' gave it
as their opinion that he was not amenable

Corruption in the Nayy Yards.
We have th reports of the speeial com
niiltee on Nsvsl contracts, in which there
are brought to light some gross frauds on ibe
(rovernment, and by men io bigLrVs.
Read a letter in another colomnr Mr.
Patterson to the President aud then read tbe
endorsement of the President to the Secre
tary of tbe Navy. And yet with ibis infor
mation before them the attempt was made
in the Senate to increase the expenditures.
When this eame up Mr. Crittenden said :
He took occasion, alien the Naval Ap
propriation bill was under consideration, and
was proposed to increase the expenditures
for the Navy Yards, lo express bis astonish
ment at the late development of corruption
that have been shown to exist in the; yards ;
for which reason he was opposed to tbc pro
position Mr. C. said that the allowing of
the patronage of tho Navy Yards to be n
ereised by members of Congress, giing
to them the sppointment of master work
men, mere political toola of their own, aud
permitting these master workmen to em
ploy just such laborer and mechanics a
they please tbrse also being the tools f
members of Congress, wa monstrous snd
unheard of. Such gross corruptions as had
been shown lo exist in our Navy Yards, de
manded tbe most prompt and decisive action
of Ccferess. It was a hydra-headed mon
ster, every bead of w hie ti should be exor
cised and cauterised to prevent its ever again
springing up.

Lately, while tra"relling in the lower part
of the Slate, as Agent for the Spartanburg
Female College, I was met at several places,
and especially in Ihe city of Charleston, by
varions rumors seriously injurious to th
In-tit'ilion. As ihe reports were all vagne,
and often conflicting, I found it impossible
to ascertain truly all the fact in the ease,
and therefore thought it best to hasten horn
and la invcsligite them as beat I nii''ht for
