THE FEVER.
That dreadful scourge, yellow fever, is
once more among us, or if not iu our i
immediate town it is having a dreadful j
harvest in the neighboring ci'y of Port i
Royal, only four miles trorn us. This
fever which is at last confessed to be of
the yellow fever type first appeared
about three weeks ago aud carried of
three victims without creating any alarm
although their sickness was of but about
t'iree days duration. Afterwards when
tuany others contracted the disease, the
ilarm was sounded that it was what was
feared, and a consultation of physicians
called. Dr. Stuart, Dr. Gibbs, Dr. Battle
of the Navy and Dr. Ford of Augusta
luet in Port Royal and examined several
cases but only one, Dr. Gibbs, was certain
the patients were sufferiug from
yellow fever, and the rej>ort was then
sent abroad that the disease was but an
aggravated form of biliious-fever.
Yesterday morning the matter was fn ally
settled when Dr. Stuart reported
that Frita Ilolleugher had died the prcviaus
evening of yellow fever with black
vomit, iDd mat lour otncrs unuouoiuujy
liad yellow fever. Savauuah was the
* first to responded for calls for aid and sent
down three colored nurses under the care
of Dr. Sheftall. A subscription was
started in Beaufort and in a short time
$100 was raised and forwarded. The
only case iu Beaufort is one of a man
named Stern, a clerk for Mrs. Apple who
has been living for some time past iu
Mrs. Apple's store in Port Royal and
who came up last Sunday. He was
frightened and walked all the way iu the
night which of itself was euough to make
him sick and he was taken down next
day. This is the only case of fever iu
Beaufort at present, there being a remarkable
absence of the usual- bilious
fevers so prevalent generally at this
season, and the physicians do not fear
any visitation of the scourge.
In the meantime everything that can
be done has been doue by our toan authorities
fr) prevent disease. The town
is remarkably clean disinfectants have
been freely distributed, the stores are
ordered closed at 6 p. m. and watchmen
stationed around town to prevent communication
with Port Royal ^herc has
not been sufficient precaution, taken to
koop persona out of town for the past
arkn viuitw] PnH ttni'ji) dailv On
business, but now all persons from there
are rigidly refused entrance, and au escape
so far can be contributed only to
tbe natural healthfulncss of our town.
The close proximity of the fever has
iuduced many of our citizens who can
leave to absent themselves for a short
time, and the trains t day and tomorrow
will carry them to localities where yellow
fever is nc t known, and where its
presence is not feared.
A dispatch from Jacksonville dated
yesterday, says that the heavy and oontinuous
rains last week have been extremely
hard on the sick in Fernaudiua. Dr.
Starbuck states that the city is in a more
deplorable condition than at any time since
tbe epidemic commenced. It was raining
all day, there was scarcely a white person
on the streets, and it was impossible to
get any reliable information regard iug the
sick. Most of the physicians are sick,
Dr. Martin being the only one able to do
full practice. Dr. beddings, president
of the Medical Society of South Carolinalias
offered his services, If they think it
necessary to call hiui. A later dispatch
sivs"that there were no deaths, but
a'x new cases, three whites and three
colored.
OFFICIAL PLUNDER.
It seems almost superfluous to say that
the most alarming symptom of corruption
under the form of Goveenment with
which this country should be blest, in
every sense, has been the unblushinS
venality to be traced in so many official
quarters. This is an evil which increased
upon us so rapidly that where a case of
conscientious discharge of duty occurred,
it positively became a matter of especial
romark by honest people and a general
elamor and ontcry by the rogues. Not.
indeed, that offices were generally filled
by men who commenced with thoroughgoing
rascality; but one used to hear
upon the street such remarks as these:V4,That
place has a regular salarjv of
#3,000- per annum, but lie can make
L $l0,000*ont of it." Again:-4'So-and-so
is worth jfc200pXX)r and when he took
that office, two years ago, at i&5,000, he

industry, raicnt, frugality, and'clf-dcnial,
heard these things with amazement* and
aversion at first, but, finding them dbtitiuually
repeated amid the smiles and not
4f the frowns of the by-stauders, who were
as likely to be men of note as any others,
grow-fasailiar with the thought, aud at
last, insensibly lost tlavt keens delicate
sense of rectitude that should have been
ahoir second nature. Others commenced
with ripened knavery, and, finding littie
restraint either in public conscience or
if; *!ie banters which law imposed,- were

tions than the second; but one tiling is

and official thieving must cease.
EX-SENATOR SAWYER I* JUL..
In the case of the United States vs.
ex-Senator and ex-Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Sawyer tried in Washington
last Saturday the jury rendered a
verdict of guilty, and he was sent to jail.
The defence made many exceptions,
which will be hc;Trd at the general term.
The convict will be retained in jail there
until the exceptions are heard and the case
finally disposed of. He is convicted on
the couut of conspiracy to pass a fraudul
cut claim on which $57,000 was paid to
Koddy. The unfortunate Sawyer, then
secretary, only received $1,000 of the
plunder. The penalty is not less than
one year's iwpriso iment at hard labor
and a fine not less than $1,000. The
jury made an exceptional recommendation
for mercy in favor of Sawyer, who
it was not proved had received any share.
This is the famous Parkman, Brook &
Co's. cotton claim of Memphis.
In the course of a recent interview
with a member of Congress the President
remarked that from what he had seen
during his late trip to the South, he believed
that the whites of that-section
were really anxious to accord to the colored
people their full civil and political
rights, and that his trip had strengthened
him in the conviction that his Southern
policy would redound greatly to the
interest of the blacks, in whose welfare
he had always telt, and should continue
to feel the deepest interest.
In the meanwhile, notwithstanding '
Senator Conkling's opposition, a large
mass meeting has been called by promi- .
nent New York Republicans at Cooper ,
Institute on October 10th for the purpose
of declaring their unabated faith and j
confidence in the integrity, ability and
patriotism of President Hayes, their .
souse of the wisdom aud justice of the j
aims aud purposes of his Administration, ;
and their belief and joy that the country
is beginniug to realize and will sooi.
fully reap the blessings ot domestic
quiet and happy concord in and between
all the States, which a universal love of '
the Uniou aud respect for the Constitu- 1
tiou as now established are sure to produce;
of restored confidence and abundant
labor in all departments of industry and
commerce, and of a sound and permanent
prosperity, which shall bring plenty
and happiness to all the people. Judge
Noah Davis presided, and letters were 1
read from many premineut Republicans
signifying their intentiou of being present.
George W. Curtis, Jos. H. Choate
and Geu. Dix were invited to address
the mass meeting.
President MacMabon has undertaken
to dragoon the French nation into submission
to his imperial authority. lie
has at length issued his manifesto, in
which he assumes to dicta e to the people
how they shall vote at the coming
- 1.1 . /? .1 1 * 1
election, ana4oat 11 tney ao not cuoosc
to elect to the Chamber of Deputies such
men as he shall select, he will pursue
his own course with the support of the
SoDate. He speaks of the dissolution
of the Chamber of Deputies as if it
were the first act iu a course designed to
re-establish despotic authority, and
claims for himself such power and
authority as. the cation never eu'.rusted
to him.

Continued Brightening Prospects.
Our exchaoges still assure us of increasing
trade and bettor prospects in
almost even' direction. The bountiful
harvest, and fair if not high, prices obtained
for our various products are
apparently sure grounds of confidence if
we do not ourselves ruin everything by
ill a lvisod legislation. The New l'ork
Sud, discussing the busiuess prospects of
the country says:
"In estimating the business prospects
of the fall season, it is important to keep
in view the condition of affairs in the
Western States, containing over onefViirrl
nf fViA wlinle nriniikition of the
country, and furnishing in money value a
still higher ratio of the total national product.
The value of the aggregate wheat
crops of nine States?Minnesota, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Kansas, Michigan, Indiana,
i 0'iio, Kentucky, and Tennessee?for the j
; year 1877, would, if sold in the country j
| at ninety cents per bushel, cxcetMl by
! $66,400,000, the value of the wheat!
crops of tlie same States for the y<jar
1S76; while other grains will be equally
abundant in all these States. This enotmous
crop is of itself the strongest guarrantcc
of better times. The whole
? * ? * i i
country will be benefited not oniy Dy a i
reduced cost of th^ first necessaries of
subsistence, but also by an increased de- j
i maud for other commodities. Inasmuch
as au ample grain crop usually carries
with it a large pork crop, we have almost
a certainty of an exceptionally large
supply of the staple food products of the
country. The agricultural West has
: suffered much less from the influences
' associated with the panic thau the manJ
ufacturiug and commercial group of
j States. It has known comparatively I
j iittlc of losses resulting from the shrink- 1
j age of manufacturing property, from the (
' prostration of the iron industry, or from i
; the collaspe in the coal trade. It lias
u been apjireeiahlv hurt fcv thw failure
kt uewJy constructed mktada or the}
Hie capital which covered the West with ;
i net-work of iron roads citne mostly i
froiu the Bust and from abroad. The j
lisastcrs of the railroads have resulted in j
some positive advantage to the West, !
through reduced transportation charges j
and consequent increased profit* ou its j
crops. While the Western pople buy;
all Eastern commodities at greatly icdnc- j
ed rates their own products have net
fallen in auything like the same ratio.
Indeed, the West is not only prtwpcrous,
but in a situation that warrants our exacting
from it a valuable fall and winter
business. Its healthier condition
diffuses a healing influence through the
whole country, and, with its enormous
crops, the benefits it confers upon other
sections,'aud more especially .upon this
city, the .great distributing ccuter and
counting house of the country, will be more
marked during the next twelve months
than they have been at any time since
the ciush of 1S73."
A boiler iu the Charleston Mining and
l'i UUUI at kUllil^ HVinoj uvwt v/ ?vw.VM,
exploded last Thursday instantly killing
one colored man and scalding two
others' so severely that they died
next day.
Tho Treasury Department had upon
the Union Pacific Railroad train recently
attacked by robbers in Wyoming 300,000,
ounces of silver bullion. This was, however,
in large bars, and was so heavy
that the robbers were unable to carry it
with theui, and not an ounce was lost.
This bullion had been purchased in
Nevada, and was destined for the Philadelphia
mint.
While the wife of Mr. C. J. Langdon,
was riding near Elmira, N. Y., with her
child and nurse, a few days ago, the
horses ran away, and were stopped by a
colored man named John F. Lewis, who
was rewarded by a present of Si,000 from
Mr. Langdon, with a quit claim for a
mortgage of $400 on his farm, dm to a
gentleman who thought the deed worthy
of a further reward, and smaller gifts
from some other persons.
Iu the Patent Office fire the most valu.'
able relics lost were Eli Whitney's cot.
ton giu and Robert Fulton's origina
model of a steamboat. The original sewing
machine was not destroyed, as supl?oscd.
Some bystander, knowing its
value, seized it before the flames reached
v ?i ......l
It, uuu was uutsicu iu iuc ui
it off.
The f lcrald asserts that if an election
were to be held in Newberry two wecks
hence, and the County Democratic C >n.
mention, as now constituted, were to nominate
candidates, those candidates would
ccrtaiuly be beaten by an Independent
ticket, so dissatisfied are many Democrats
with the constitution of the Convention.
*
The elegant andjcostly steam fire engine
is being doctored for ailments which
seem to increase.in number as the intricate
machinery is overhauledand brought
to light. For some time it has been
evideut that something was wrong wiih
the machine &ud last week the Intendaut
employed Mr. Whitman to make an
examination to find out what was the
matter. Mr. Gordan, the engineer was
wroth at another inachiuist being set to
work at the cngiue, claiming that he was
fully.com pet cut but had asked in vain for .
authority to overhaul it. The officers
were also exercised over the Intcndant's
action aod a lively discussion was the
result. Iu the meantime the taxpayers
who were obliged nolens volens to have
their taxes expanded for several years to
pay for the machine goxe inquiriugly on
while the subject is talked over.
The niuth annual fair of the State Agricultural
and Mechanical Society will be
held at Columbia from the 13th to the
16th of November next, and promises to
be an unusually interesting exhibit of the
progress made in our State in held crops,
stock raising and the mechanical arts.
These terms, however, but faintly indicate
the extent of the display and the
incalculable amount of good which must
accrue to the Staje under the stimulus
of premiums offered for excellence in
products of agricultural and other industries.
For instance, sixty seven premiums
are offered for the best samples of cotton,
corn, wheat, potatoes, rice, tobacco,
ramie, hay, hops etc, and other valuable
inducements are held oat to "competitors
iu briuging forward, lard, bacon, honey,
green and dricdtfruits and native wifies;
while euoouragement and notoriety will
be offered those who have engaged in the
manufacture of domestic fabrics of cotton,
wool and silk, of paper and of farming
and other mechanical implements. The
display in the stock and poultry depart-,
ment promises to be unusually fine, and
tne enure iair promises to uo u great
success under the efforts of Co). Thomas
Taylor, tho President and the other efficient
officers of the Society.

A convention was in progress at Lima"
Ohio at which the county auditor was
making a furious speech in favor of
"reform," when he was suddenly
snatched up by the constables and carried
off to jail where he found his friend and
political crony, Lewis Meyers, also incarcerated.
Myeis was the treasurer of
Auglaize county who was discovered a
few weeks ago in his office bound,
and a gag in his mouth. He said
that four masked ruffians had seized
him upou the highway, hauled him to
the treasury, tortured him by applying
burning coal to his feet, and so compelled
him to divulge the combination of the
safe lock, whereby they were able to car-'
ry off about S-7,000. It turns out that
the ruffian who applied the torture was
the county auditor, and that it was all
what if vulvarlv called a put tin ioh.
Mcpwvv there i.o* : ?m !y ' jr.

exasperated and are considering the pro. j
