Beaufort has maintained for another vejk its remarkably excellent sanitary condition, there being no case of fever ?f any kind under treatment. At Port 1 loyal the fever has abated its violence, perhaps on account of the material being almost exhausted During the past week \uv have becu 2 deaths from yellow fever and 10 new cases of fever of inalaiiil type and 5 yellow fever patients have convalesced. M'c understood that a rigid quarantine was established by the authorities of Beaufort against any ono comiug from Port Royal and we believe that Marshal Cohen has been active and efficient in enforcing it as tar as he has been permitted. This was done to ensure safety to several thousand valuable lives in Beaufort, and not from a wish to wound the sensibilities or cause personal inconvenience to those who desire to keep up * % / . t i communication with the miectea place. f?:tt aa order of this kind cannot be rcspoeted unless its application is made universal and discriminations tnade at the will and pleasure of those who establish these stringent rules cannot fail to occasion severe comment. The Future of Parties. The antagonistic positions taken by the Uopullicans of Massachusetts and New York in their conventions is the most significant event of current politics. President Hayes since his inauguration, has pursued a bold, straightforward, national policy having three cardinal points?the equal rights of all States in . the Union, the equal rights of all citizens under the Constitution, and the emancipation of the whole people from the domination of federal Office-holders. Upon these points the Massachusetts Republicans announced, without hesitation and without reservation, that they stood with him. The New York Republicans announced as decisively that they opposed and defic 1 hitn. The Ma4$achusctt3 convcntitn represented -'the people; the New York convention represented the politicians. The Massachusetts convention consulted the national interest; the New York convention consulted Senator CoDlding/ The Massachusetts convention was cow posed of men cl ected without the intermeddling of the officeholding crowd; the New York conveot'ou was elected by the office-holling ring, and represented it. No man controlled the Massachusetts convention; the New York convention was controlled by :no man. The.Massachnsetts convention faced to the future; the New York convention faced to the past. The Massachusetts convention declared for a national union of hearts and hands; the New York convention declared for sectionalism and the continuance of the conflict between the North and the South. The M michusetts convention invoked peace for the country; the New York conveciwxoao fnvi n rr nrn i? or?/Y c:vu uvja iucu pi viui iu^ i?ui auu hate. The Massachusetts convention demanded reform io the civil service; the Sew York convention mocked at reform, and demanded that tlie party should be a servant to the machine. The action of Massachusetts is hailed throughout the * land as right, wise and auguring well ' for the future; the action of New York is ( condemned as ill-timed, perverse and destructive* The difference between these two conventions represents, in truth, the antag- | oni-tic forces which are about to be 3 opposed to each other in the arena of politics. The policy of the one is such * as all cood citizens should be ready to support; the policy of the other is ani- s mated by the spirit of Grantism, which all ? a:,mots should desire to sec finally extin-ubhed. Surely in the impending 0 3 nfiict Between these opposing elements, ' it is to be hoped that the side which a battles for a oomplete restoration of the t'tates under the Constitution, may c triumph ov. r that which strives for a v aont'nuanco of sectional I itterness. 1!

This braneh could be extended to 5' he main track at an outlay not much rreater than the annual cost of repairs to j die trestle across the marsh back of the Vtlantic Mills, thus decreasing theexpen v> of the road, and adding miles ofwa- m r fiontage for all kinds of shipping y\ Sot ween the Atlantic Mills and Port ^ Royal. ^ ; tl Tho expense of laying this track 1 p., would be but a few hundred ; cc ioilai**?which may be multiplied into I sj, th msiid of dollars of loss to the road J p, through its suspended business.

( apparently because it would demonstrate j ( the fact that as available locations were J t /? i l r? r. i 1 ! , dates, and other vegetables, and fruits, Considering the importance of the wheat crop as an article of food it appears that while the consumption <f that grain . amounts to two million five hundred thousand bushels a year in this State only about six huudred thousand bushel* are produced here, leaving nearly two million bushels to be brought from other parts of the country, and costs us fho sum J of three million dollais annually. Now if we can raise our own wheat this ( money would remain at home and would ( build flour mills, barrel factories, and in a dozen ways add to the prosperity of the j State. ( Experiments made within four utiles ^ of Charleston show a product of 18 bush* ' els per acre of wheat, 37 of oats, and 4 ^ tons of bay, while a quality of rye was ^ mised which at the Produce Exchange in ' New York was pronounced superior to ' my on sale there. j In conclusion the committee recomend- ( xh First, That the Society should urge t he planters of the coast counties to turn heir attention to the cultivation of small , grains and grasses. Second: To make as public as possible j he results of the system tried near Charleston. Third That a careful and reliable j dantcr should be selected in different ^ ocalitics on the main land and the islands md be induced to cultivate ten or twenty q icres, following the system tried near Charleston, an t if necessary guarantee uch planter against loss if his experi- jj nent proved a failure, requiring each to y :eep an accurate account of the progress Q f the experiment, the cost of preparation, t( ondition of weather &c during the growth tj nd harvest of the crop. Fourth, -s this system of using green a ropsas a fertilizer begins in May and June j nth the sowing of the summer crop, that j he society ad\ i-es all planters who may y itend trying this system next summer, ow to select the land on which they in- ^ *nd to make the experiment, and hav- ^ ag prepared the same well, and, if possile, manured it, sow it during the pros- j] nt month or early in.

At the quarterly meeting of the South Carolina Agricultural Society, held in Charleston on the 11th inst., there was read a very interesting report from a committee appointed at a previous meet ing to take into consideration the present condition of the low country of the State and to make suggestions towards an improvement in the system of agriculture. The matters discussed are of so important a nature to all dwellers on plantations in this region, that we only regret want of space precludes the publishing of the entire report. The couclusions arrived at by the committee arc in brief as follows; The coast lands have always been considered and arc to-day tbc most productive and valuable in the State, and the sarue intelligence and energy that in former times brought crops of rice, indigo and cotton to the perfection they reached, will if turned in a new direction, meet with equal success. No country can prosper long that depends upon one crop alone and to ensure prosperity such crops must first be planted'as are suited for home use, and after that all that can be raised for export. The countries of the world 1 corresponding with us iu temperature are the south of Spain, France, Italy, Greece^ Turkey in Europe, Syria, part of China, India and Japan, and most of the crops and fruits belonging to those countries can be grown here. These consist of wheat, barley, maize, rice, oats and iye, wine, silk, sugar, cottou, hemp, flax, jute, madder, tobacco* olives, orancres. lemons. Acs, almonds 1 lay m. in ihe custody of special ' itfieer llouiiu and lci't the same night 1 &r (Columbia, where I10 is required to ( ippcur before the Court next week. WASHINGTON LE1TEU. b- r i ^ f From oor Special Correspondent.] Washington,*D. C. Oct. 13tli. 1877. There is probably no city in this county, that, for urban Leartty and symmetry an more successfully claim tnc title, rue Paris of America" than Washington. Her broad Avenues anil tasteful paries are occoming beautifully shaded and iinprov. 3d and there is no time in the year when one may enjoy this city any more than in October, just as summer yields sway to Autumn. Hut with all her beauty, Washington is a city of "shallow habitation." Her inhabitants are ever moving and res'less, and each winter brings with it a new set f people,who like a snow-flake on a river, are "Seen for a moment Then gone forever.". This fact gives Washington society a cosmopolitan tinge and it is not an unfrcquent occurrence to find at any public gathering representatives of not only every foreign country but almost every State. Just at this time our city is the ' ' ' - 1 .Mecca towards wnicn are jaimcying politicians and lobtyists whose name is legion. The hotel proprietors have donned their most benign countenances, and every one seems to be in good humor, and of course knows more than any one else about the speakership race, and the latest combination to beat Mr. A or elect Mr. B. The lobbyists in number arc "as the sands of the sea"' and next to the Washington monument, there is nothing to be seen that is more impressive. Their gravity of manner, thei1' intense enthusiasm and showy attire attract attention every where. Monday Congre^ convenes in special session in compliance with the call of the President. No business except calling the roll will be transacted before Tuesday however. The appropriations will le lhc first tiling on the list and unless there should be considerable filibustering will be settled within a week. Of oonrsc the Army will be attended to first and then the Navy, for which will be a>ked two millions, (2,000,000). The Atty. General will ask for $250,000 for the Department of Justice, as their appropriation heretofore has been too small by a half. To-night the Democrats hold their caucus iit^the Hall of Representatives and Monday at 9 a.m. the Republicans meet. The question as to who will occu py iUf pniK'ipaj urncus ui mv i mi; nuii Congress is still a speculative one. There are a hundred rumors afloat to day, upon which little reliance can be placed, but at the sauic time Ilandallism i> on the increase, andiftheic is no strongc combination effected, against him than tl e two, which. 1 ke Sallic Magrun jy were born on Monday to die on Tuesday he is sun to be elected. ?Saylor still has confidence in his success-ami last evening said that hi> sleet ion was assured, but wr fear be will find out that politicians promises lik; pic ;rust arc made to bo broken. There an iwo candidates for the clerkship Messrs. Adams and Caldwell. The contest fo his? position is a close one, and no one ,van predict the result. There is piac icallv but one aspirant for the position )f sergeant at arms, and conscq ucntb bat one-Mr. Thompson does not lave to lay awake nights thinking ol ombinations and defeats. There are i dozen who want to be doorkeeper, elcrcn of whom within the next twelve hours vill wend their wcaty way homeward nflttering something about '"fleeting ? M M ? 1 1 M 11 .1 how ' "man s delusions, rrom tncpiesnt outlook we predict that either Mr. \>lk ot Mo. or Patterson of N. J. will be lie favored one. The interest in he.se contests is at fc vcr heat, and 110rbere on the street do you hear (amonc loliticians) any thine but what is popuirly termed wire pulling. The Cabinet iccting on yesterday considered the uestion as to whether America should be epresented at the French exposition of 878 and it will be decided to urge upon Congress the acceptance of the invitation rom France and to encourage manufactrcrs and others to send their goods and i 'arcs. The Solicitor of the Treasury has ist made an important decision, namely, j bat it is criminal toprint or make any ad- , ertiscment in the resemblance of money i nr i i _ x? 1 * I * was presented to each chief as a souvenir j rrt" t he vibit. A tine picture of one of the j most celebrated statues of Venus was offered to the venerable Spotted Tail, husband of sovem! Indian wives, but the virtuous savage declined to receive it, saying in Sioux lingo that looking at it would make him hanker too much for a squaw with such perfection of form. Fax. Fcrnandina fairly invited yellow fever to enter her gates by neglecting, from motives of economy, to clean her garbagecovered streets. There have been over 1,100 cases of disease, although only fifty persons have died. The colored people *i il seem to have lost the immunity iney formerly enjoyed from the attacks of the disease. 31 any "of them have died from lack of food: trade being suspended and they not having an opportunity to earn money.?New York Tribune. flffitiat gtittofl.~ Special Notice.
