The Division of the Count v.
?
Tlie project of making a new county .
cat of tl'.c upper part of Beaufort is one j
demands careful attention to the
' arguments in'its favor and in opposition |
to it.
It will Le observed thnt those who;
take upon themselves the advocacy of1
the propo-ed division, and claitri to speak
in this instance, as in others of a public j
nature, in the interest of their fellow
citizens, are members of the legal fratcrnity.
With these gentlemen, the argument j
in favor of the change is the great distance
of the court house from the homes i
*of those w ho live in the upper part of the
county and who find it a great hardship,
or ineo:iveu:ence at least, to travel all the
w:iy to Beaufort as jurors, wituesscs* or j
on business connected with the public I
olfices. Now in point of fact, the num? !
ber of people thus brought to Beaufort!
is in reality a very small per ccntage of!
the tax payers, and probably not greater
then the number of those who voluntarily j
. ai t d,c T earurers offi c when the trip :
to Beaufort might be avoided by the pay-'
inent of taxes at the time the officer visits
the upper section for the public conven- j
ience. We have every reason to believe ;
that a wholesome restraint upon undue !
litigation is imposed by the distance
which those who become involved arc
lorced to'travel.
We arc not uncharitable enough to suggest
or believe that tho^e most earnest in
the move for a division, have in mind
that this barrier to tho luxury of a law
suit would be removed from their neighbors
minds. With the present rail road
facilities it is possible for any citizen leaving
home in the morning to be in Beaufort
the same afternoon. Those dwelling
- - ^ % s . n
above the liue ot the S. and u. n. it.
present an argument more w >rthy of our
attention when they claim that their tax- 1
cs would be. less if they were severed
front the islands on the coast. But a
careful glance at the assessed valuation (
of the property in the lower townships!
will convince the fair minded inquirer,
that the burden of taxation is proportionately
divided, and that where the heaviest
expense is incurred by the county
there the most considerable tax is paid. !
We suspect, however, that the,
real object, back of all other reasons
assigned by our up country friends is a
political one. They think that the new
county would be free from the control of,
those* leaders of the ignorant
masses, that prevailing on the islands
have swayed the destinies o f
Beaufort county for the past eight years.
Such as are moved by this consideration
we would beg to refect upon the pitiful
conditionjto which, from theirown poiutof
view, they would consign their brctheren
on the coast. That possible state of;
barbarian, to which President Hayes re- ;
fers in his inaugural address, they believe
would then be realized by us, and their
own designs appear to be the prompting
of cruel selfishness. But to j
our mind the future prosperity of
Beaufort county is not to be judged by |
the' ignorant and lawless management:
of the past few years, and all the citizens '
of the old "district" should unite in its
regeneration. The reign of disorder is
over, and the thriving villages along the
? Port Roj-nl R. R. can better afford to ;
contribute their share towards the establishment
of order and an honest, economi- i
Annntv (.APnrnmont rather than OnfTflCe !

in rivalry for the site of a new court
house where would be re-enacted the
s cues of intemperance and excess that
once made Gillisonville so repulsive when
terms of court were held there.

On Friday last President Hayes sent
lette;s to our two Governors inviting,
them to go to Washington to consult'
with him in order to put an end to the ,
{ strife in this State and .settle the question j
of the governor-hip. Gov. Chamberlain i
started for Washington Sunday evening j
and Gov. Hampton left yesterday. Both ;
a"e accompanied by their friends and |
there is no doubt bui before they return
everything will be cleared up. It was
thought at first that Gov. Hampton i
would refuse to accept the invitation, but
be was wi^-e enough to *cc that if he did
not go it would place him in a bad light i
and prejudice his chances for recogni- j
tion. What the result ot the conference i
will be is impossible to foretell but wc
believe that the settlement will be as
nnnr ^: i fhotorv to all as it is possible to ;
make it. The President intends to do
what is right and for the best interests of
the people.
Tiic March number ot the New York
Medical Journal contains a Tory readable
article on yellow fever as it appeared in
Savannah in 1876 by Dr. Octavius A.
White a former resident of Beaufort and
now a practising physician in New York,
who went to the aid of the sufferers, frnu
last summer's epidemdic and e:ves
' the result of his observation,
and experience gained at that season
and during his attendance upon
yellow fever patients in former years.
In the interesting article referred to,
th" causes of the rise and progress of the
epidemic are carefully traced rnd the
which wa :?*v J w*' t i
4. Mephitic vaj>or arising from sur
charged vaults and foul ' d.y wells'
throughout the city.
The pestilence in Savannah was characterized
by the remarkable death-rate
among the colored persons, who are usuilly
exempt from its attacks, by tl clarge
fatality attending ca^es among sup.posed
inured natives and by the unusually
great percentage of deaths which occurred
among children under twelve years
of age. We wish that space permitted
us to give an account of the treatment
which Dr. White practised with such
eminent success and we could wish the
report which has formed the subject
of this article to obtain general circulation
in ou! midst. It has been published
in pamphlet form by Appleton & Co.'
New York.
On Tuesday Gov. Chamberlain had an
interview wi;h the President. There was,
however, no discussion of the South
Carolina case, the conversation being
merely of a general character the discussion
of the case being le-ervcd for the
arrival of Gov. Hampton, it being the
desire of the President not to anrieipatc
a formal tonsideiation of the subject,
which is (b be had in the presence of the
full Cabinet.
Mr. Chamberlain, in speaking of his
interview with the President said that
the conversation did not relate directly
to the rival claims to the Gubernatorial j
office that the President, for the present
solely desired information in relation to
the present situation of affairs in the
State, and particularly as to the events
which preceded and followed the election.
The President s nted that he was desirous
to do equal justice to all persons
affected, including colored Republicans
and white Democrats. In the settlement
of the existing troubles, he desires that
all party questions be omitted from con- j
sideration, and that a settlement shall be
made solely upon the merits of the case.
In response to a question as to what
his course would be should the President
decide in favor of the legality of Hamp,
ton's claims to the Governorship, Chamberlain
said that he had not considered
the question in that light, as he ielt confident
of the legality ot his election, and
his indisputable light to the Governor.

It is proposed by the President to take
no action until after the arrival of Governor
Hampton, and the claims of each
shall have been fully heard.?Journal of
Commerce, special dispatch.
A Washington dispatch to the New
York Times says : " There seems now to
be no doubt of the truth of the statement
that Messrs Stantley Matthews and Chas.
Foster, of Ohio, pending the counting of
the electoral vote in Congress, entered
into a contract with a number of Southern
Democrats by which it was agreed
that if the Democrats would aid in completing
the count and receiving the inauguration
of Mr. Ila.ves as President,
the governments of Nicholls iu Louisiana
and Hampton in South Carolina would
be recognized by the new administrationThere
is no question that in making these
pledges Messrs. Foster and Matthews
pretended they were authorized to do so
by Mr. Hayes. They had no right to do
this, for the President knew nothing of
the pledges which they were making in
his name, as has been stated on two oc"
casions. It has for some time past been
reported in Washington that Matthews
and Foster had allowed themselves to be
a party to an agreement of the kind men
tioued
?<49
Mr. Adams, the clerk of the Housi
of Representatives, says there are about
eighteen contested scats. In the Florida
case he shall put on the rolls the names
of the Democratic members, because
their certificates are signed by Governor
Drew, who is in office and recognized by
the courts of the State. In the cases of
South Carolina aud Louisiana he says
that he shali be guided by the action of
the President, and place on the rolls the
names of those boldiug certificates from
the Governor recognized by the President.

There are laws on the statute books of
which our people have but slight knowledge.
The constabulary provided for in
the statutes are peace officers. The
Chief Constable is a salaried officer, to be
appointed by the Governor, to be confirmed
by the Senate, and to hold his
place for four years, unless sooner removed.
He is required to reside at the
Capital. Lie appoints in each county a
Dei UD* Chief Constable and as many deputy
constables as the Governor may
direct. They are authorized to exercise
all the common law and statutory powers
of constables, and all authority given to
the police or watchmen by the statutes of
the State and by the charters and ordin ,
ances of incorporated towns and cities, ,
concurrently with such officers. They i
are at all times to obey and execute the 1

The total immunity xrltiih onr nrn
Town enjoyed last summer, should nnlv
act as an incentive to continued regard
tn tho strirtpst srinitarv measures "in or^
der to ward off disease darinirt,he coming
summer. Among the causes of the i
virulence of the epidemic last season in!
Savannah we may briefly advert to the
following:
1. The importation of the germs of
yellow fever from Cuba in vessels which
had d'seharged many tons of ballast at a j
point in the city where the fever first i
made its appearance and from which its ,
spread to other localities could be tracd. I
2. The prevalence for several months .
of a breeze over a miasmatic region.
3. Heavy rainfalls succeeded by
protracted and execs ive beat, which
started into active d composition the
garbargc deposited In' the city scavengers,
and the malarious deposits of the stream
known as the Bilbo canal.

The recent reappearance in Washington
of Rullock, the ex-Governor of
I. *
Georgia, and of Foster Rlodgett his part
ncr in his operations in Ueorgia, lias j
stimulated curosity. Bullock just as his j
tcnn as Governor expired, was indicted
in the Georgia Courts for fraudulent acts
c uumittcd while in that office and fled
the .State. One of his fraudulent operations
was the leasing of the Georgia .State '
Road to a ring with which he was con
nccted. This road formerly paid in the
State Treasury a dividend of several hundred
thousand dollars annually,
and was in a most flourishing condition.
After Bullock became Governor he made
Foster Blodgctt Superintendent of the
road. Blodgett immediately commenced
to run it in the interest of himscltand his
friends,and the result was that in a
comparatively short time it became almost
worthless. Blodgett paid no dividend
to the State, but|aetually had the
assurance to petition the Legislature of
1S70 for $.300,000 to repair the road-bed
and purchase nqw engines. The next
move was for Bullock and Blodgett and
their accomplices to lobby through
the Legislature a bill authorizing Bullock
to lease the road on the best terms for a
period of twenty years. Bullock thereupon
leased it out to a ring for $25,000
per annum. In this ring were Bullock,
Kiuiball, Columbus Delano, Simon Cameron,
and these charge that Governor
Joe Brown and Ben Hill were associated
with thcni. It is alleged by the friends
of Bullock that Governor Brown and
Ben Hill were instrumental in procuring
his indictment in the Georgia Courts, as
they wanted to get ri(Lof hiua. As he
became a refugee in consequence, he did
not share any of the benefits of the
arrangement. Bullock, since his reap
pearancc in Washington has made up an
old qiarrel which he had with Foster
Blodgett, and it is said that they arc now
determined to get even with Brown, Hill,
Delano & Co. It is alleged that Blodgett
has the necessary evidence with him to
force terms. Both Governor Brown and
Ben Hill deny that they ever engaged in
any fraudulent operations with Bullock
and Blodgett, and insist that heir connection
with the lease of State Road was
perfectly legitimate. This may be, but j
there arc nevertheless a good many j.
Georgians who condemn them very much !
for their action in the matter. What I
adds to the public curiosity on the subject :
is the fact that Ben IJill is advocating,
Foster Blodgett for the position of United '
States Marshal for Georgia. O. this ;
point, howevtr, there is a question of
veracity bctwecn*Mr. Hill and the Attorney-General.
Mr. Hill in a letter said he
was not advocating Foster Blodgett for the
Marsha'sbip, anl it was'an impertinence j
for any one to say that lie was. Yet the ;
Attorney-General stated to this very j
same gentleman that Mr. Illli had come i
to his office and recommended Blodgett.
This is the present situation, and Georgians
arc witing the denoumeat with
much interest.?Baltimore Sun.
John D. Lee was executed at 3Iountain
Me- dows, Utah, last Friday. He
onr nn his rnffin and did not disnlav the
slightest nervousness, but seemed per
fectly resigned to his fate. When Ma?".
shal Nelson tied the handkerchief over
Lee's eyes and commenced to tie his
hands the condemned man placed them
over his head and sat perfeotly motion"
less, and called to the executioners to
aim well for his heart. Marshal Nelson
gave the commands 11 Make ready " and
" Fire, " in a firm, cool manner, and in
a moment Lee fell back over his coffin,
his feet on the ground, and died without
a struggle
He preferred sitting to meet his doom.
Five balls pierced his heart and body.
Lee's execution was one of the most remarkable
sights ever witnessed. The'old
mau never flinched, and his death seemed
easy. He said, in his last statemeut, that
he was a sacrifice, and that Brigham
Youne went back on him. His las1
word was against the Mormon prophet.
The execution took place about one
hundred yards from the Emigrants'
Monument, on the ground where, nearly
twenty years ago, 01 e hundred and twenty
men, women and children, were mas
sacred by 3Iormons under the command
of Major Lee.
John Harford, Wyalusing, Wisconsin,
took a boy strongly resembling the lost
Charley Boss from some half-breed Indians
last week, and sent a photograph
of him to Mr. Iloss, who telegraphed
back if the boy had a scar on his right
side to briDg him to Philadelphia. A
subsequent telegram ordered him to be
brought at Mr. Ross's expense. So Mr. (
Harford started with him. Tbe child's
hair is brown, not fair, the only difference
observable.
The new compulsory education law of
Ohio requires every child between eight
and fourteen years of age to attend a public
school for at least twelve weeks in each
school year, commencing September 1,
and prohibits his business employment
for the same time.
