Our Town Council.
At E time wneu every wwu iu mc
South is awakening to the importance ''
of attending to their sanitary condition,
what have our town council done <
in this direction? Can they be aroused ,
by any possible means, from their somnolent
condition to the fact that danger
threatens this community, unless
the sanitary and necessary precau- |
tions are taken to avoid it. We are i
told that the drain running through ,
the centre of the town is in a bad con- <
dition, that garbage and filth is allow- (
ed to accumulate m front of houses (
and in the streets, that the stench of <
uhclean sinks offend the nostrils of ,
those w ho frequent the streets at night. ,
In a climate where the thermometer (
ranges from eighty to ninety five de- ,
grees daring the summer months, this ,
is an unsafe condition of things. Then |,
gentlemen of the council, by tbe trust
you hare imposed in you, arouse!
Organise your board of health, (which
you should have done long ago) see
that the town is put in as good a sanitary
condition as possible. Then will
you have done your duty though you
were slow in doing it.
Show Your Hands.
At the Grant and Wilson meeting1
on Monday evening, it was amusing to
hear how much the speakers had to i
say about Greeley and Grant, and how <
little in regard to affairs in the coun- j
ty and State. It is all very well to en- t
large on the virtues of Grant and the i
iauits of Greeley, but the people are i
more interested in affairs nearer home, (
and demand to hear how the men they (
elected to office haye fulfilled their i
trusts. t
Tbe people begin to feel the taxes j
imposed upon them, and the rumors ol c
Laud and corruption that are circulat- t
ed lead them to believe that they have t
'been deceived in their frieDds, and a
that changes in some quarters are 1
necessary. They know that something (
is rotten, and they in vain listen to the 1
orators at the various meetings to tiud c
out who is to blame, but the speakers L
dare not attack any one for fear they 8
may be fouliug their own nest, and a
placing in jeopardy their chances oj c

most id possible even with life and , *
drum to get together a corporal's guard I 0
to listen to the non-committal speech | Q
es that the people of Beaufort have so j D
often listened to. i ^
We presume, after the Convention j ^
-meets, that the rogues will be duly ' ^
shown up, and that they will all be ; e
4<ound among the opponent* of the j v
ticket, and then the people will be en- | *
abled to iind out when it is too late J ^

GRANT AND WILSON MEETING. '
.
. ? - I
Ratification of the Philadelphia Nominees.
On Monday night a meeting was I
held in front of the Crofut's store for 1
Lhe above purpose. Tbe gathering was 1
not particularly large or enthusiastic, i'
Gen. Smalls called the meeting to order,
and stated the object of it He
said he netd not tell them who Gen.
n? "no qq manv nf h's hearers had
ltiaub TTOfO^ MO UiMMjr ?. -- ?
served in the army with him daring the
rebellion and found him a brave sol- 1
flier. Henry Wilson, they all knew 1
as one had battled for their rights for 1
ei long time. After a few further re- j1
marks he introduced Judge J. J. 1
Wright of the supreme court of this !1
state. ]
Judge Wright said he came not here
to make a speech but simply to have a 1
talk, he was glad to meet them here !1
it a meeting to ratify the romioation '
Df Gen. Grant and Senator Wilson. He 1
must not be expected to take an active | <
part in politics, as the duties in the juiiciary
department forbade him from (
jo doing. He bad been the legal advis- {
ir of many of them for a number of pears,
he had not only given them le- 1
?al advices but other advice for their '
general good. He wished however to i
jay a few words about the Philadelphia 1
lominatious. Gen. Grant had adminstered
the laws, during his presi- (
lential term, in a spirit of justice, tem- '
)ered with mercy, he has reduced the '
lational debt with a rapidity never *
tnowu before in the history of the Rejublic.
He was the hero, who had f
irushed the rebellion, and given them c
he rights they now possess. He had s
>een tried and had come out of the fire s
is pure as gold, therefore he ought to N
>e President four years more. Gen. }
J rant was a poor man in his early life, j
le had been a tanner, but it was soon
iiscovered that his sphere of action j
aid in another direction. Henry Wil
>n was also a poor man,and had been
i shoemaker, but while setting on nis j c
:obblet-8 bench he had felt the necessity *
f improving his mind, and this he
pished to impress upon his hearers,
he necessity of following the example t
f Senator Wilson and improving their o
aindft. The man who neglects his \
aiod was not the man for the uation. I t
tenator Wilson had been ever true to
he principals of American liberty, he
.ad battled slavery until it no longer f
xisted, he was the firm frieud and ad- j h
iser of that patriot Abraham Lincoln v
rhen he took the quill and diped it in . n
lood and wrote upon the canopy of c
leaven Liberty to all. The speaker
assed high encomiums upon the peo- j
le of Massachusetts, from whence f
lenry Wilson comes. c
Referring again to the former occuation
of Mr. Grant and Mr. Wilson,
e said Grant would tan the leather j
nd Wilson would make the shoes for "
II the Democrats in the' land.
As to the Cincinnati Convention, ,
? * " - * * _ Ll! '
ie Judge said, it was me assemuiuig
f a certaiu class of politicians who ri
ere diesatisfud with Gen. Grant, be- tl
iu*e they could not get office, They g]
ere principally Democrats of the si
[orib, who did not care any more for p
le black man than they did about a ir
lack snake. He claimed that the , J
lorthern Democrats were at the bot- r<
>in of all the trouHts of the South; C
ere the cause of the South seeeeding, pi
c. The chief plank in the Cincinnati oi
latform, (he would give the substance n
fit from memoiy) was that the Gov- si
nment of the Uuited States shall not
iterfere with the government of South
arolina or any State; practically it
lid, stand off, hands off!. It was, in Ci
,ct, the old doctrine of State rights j K
tvived. The speaker confessed him- n<
:lf to be a believer to 6ome extent in ' tl
lat doctrine, but when any State at- t!
mpted to deprive any part of the ti
tizens of their rights it was the duly b<
'the United States to slip in and in- fi
rfere. The speaker thought if these w
en were elected (Greeieyand Brown) ' ri
ley would leave the States alone to m
anage their own affairs, and Ku- j
luxism would be rampant The ob- : o'
ct he thought of Ku-Kluxism was to i a!
11 off the colored popuiatiou so tnat ai
le white people would be in the ma- rc
rity. lie recommended the old southn
people to help elect Grant and fa
'ilson. The Philadelphia platform j0
et his approval, it was liberal in all tl
> provisions. He was struck with the u
ause in it that said there should be g,
3 more grants to railroad companies. nj
id with that clause granting laDds to fu
lose who had fought the battles of; c<
ieir country, or their heirs. They n
lould be looked after. He would tell j tl
orace Greeley and his friends that b
ext fall they would hear something tl
rop. The speaker here related the i tl
jry interesting anicdote of the two tl
jya who went Cooa hunting, and a
hen one of them went up in the tree
d shuck the limb something dropped ; g
ut jt was'nt. the Coon, but the boy. g

:
'he speaker closed by recommending
digerice and tlie improvement of the j
iindf the learning of. trades. <fcc., which i
re thought was the most sensible ad- <
ice he gave during hit speech.
Qeo. Smalls then introduced Dr. ;
fcinnsrd of Dhiln4elphia, who was an <
Stimate friend of Horace Greeley, ;
!enfy TTilsoh^ and Gen. Grant. * He
tad known Horace Greeley 30 yean;
te is a traitor to the colored people of
America. He has pretended to desire
o hate'the colored citizens enjoy all
he privileges of the Constitution. Just
>efore Horace Greeley was nominated
; called on him, and O, I felt while in
lis presence, that I was in a sacred
ilace,. but the old gentleman was
?ha6ged.' Horace Greeley told him
the colored people were too anxious to ;
get office,' they should till the soil and
a.void politics, and be good citizens. I ;
told him we would not woik. we want
to work when we please and lay in the
shade when we please, and no man can
tell us what girl we shall court. God
give uVmore General Grants, and 611
the world with Grants. lie then cave
a, vivid account of Brooks attack on
Sumner. He said after the attack
Wilson armed himself and walked up
to Brooks and dared him to attack him.
Col.- Wiggin was then introduced;
he started out with a glowing description
of the first election, and never
could he forget the election four years
ago when his constituents first exercised
the glorious right of suffrage. They
arose in the might of their majesty, I
and gave the Democrats a tremendous
thrashing, and in 1870 we find#them ,
reviving under the lead of a renegade
Republican, (Carpenter.) The speak
sr then rambled off into the favorite
theme of. Ku-Kluxism, and after exhausting
his stock of explanations,
called on Mr. Thomas to read Reverdy
Johnson's speech as a clincher.
Referring to the Cincinnati Convention,
they have nominated Horace
Greeley, and he must depend on the
Democrats to elect him. The same
men who four years before nominated
Seymour and Blair and declared the
iraendmeots to the Constitution null
md void.
The speaker promised the audience
)n his next appearance to chaw up the
State and county officials, and after a
eeble attempt to give a cheer for
Jrant the meeting dispeised.
tfaS"* Saturday the 29th, is the day
ixed by the Legislature for the citizens
>f the different school districts to vote the
itnount of school tax they shall be nsessed.
Coiue up fellow-citizens and
'ote a good round assessment for this
mrpo^e. If there is any thing we need

General Smalls goes up into the county

The Excursion.
Last Wednesday a large party of exlrsionists
embarked on the Str. Nick 1
ing, for Savannah. The steamer did
it' leave till after nine; and on the way j
ic captain took in tow a vessel, so
ut the party did not reach its des !
ination till four o'clock. There was a
ind of eight pieces in attendance which !
irni.-hed the music; and the dancing .
as kept lip the whole way. On the ar- j
val at Savannah, the party dispersed 1
any in carriages, and some afoot."*
The steamer left for Beaufort at seven :
clock P. M., and after reaching a point ;
xnit three miles above Fort Pulaski the
ichor was let go, and there the party
Miiained till in irning.
Some of the party observing the Captin
gazing through his glass evidently j
oking for the coming day, and thinking 1

Tobacco Tax.
To the Editor of the Republican : '
Allow me through the columns of
the Republican to call the atten tion
of all dealers in leaf tobacco to the fol- '
lowing extract from the recent act of
Congress on this subject:
"Retail dealers in leaf-tobacco shall
each pay five hundred dollars, and, if
their annual sales exceed one thousand
dollars, shall each pay, in addition :
thereto, fifty ceDts for every dollar in
excess of one thousand dollars of their
sales. Every person shall be regarded
as a retail dealer in leaf-tobacco whose ;
business it is to sell leaf-tobacco in
quantities less than an original hogshead,
case, or bale; or who shall sell
directly to consumers, or to persons
other than dealers in leaf-tobacco, who
have paid a special tax as such; or to
manufacturers of tobacco, snuff or
cigars who have paid a special tax;,or
to persons who purchase in original
packas^ufor export. Retail dealers in
leaf tonacco shall alao keep a book,
and enter therein daily their purchases
and sales, in a form and manner to i
be prescribed by the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, which book shall be
open at all times for the inspection of
any revenue officer.''
This net shall t.nke effect on the first
day of July next. From a~d after that
date, all dealers selling directly to consumers
must pay the tax of ?">00, or lay
themselves liable to a heavy fine, one half
of which will go to the informer.
Respectfully, S. B. Wright,
Deputy Collector.
itfftiii
The Charlrston Republican says: By ;
reference to the proceedings of the con- |
ference, which was held in New York
on Thursday last, it will he seen that |
it has been conceded that the Cincinnati
nominees are admitted to possess
that strength which alone can defeat
Grant. The action of that conference ,
commends itself to all thoughtful men; '
and the unanimity which characterized j
its deliberations is an earnest that the
advocates of reform will be successful
in the pending contest.

A Valuable Invention.?Messrs.
Wrieht & Waroock, of Barnwell and
Beaufort Countu s, S. C., have just introduced
to the market a valuable ad- .
dition to the mechanical department
of plantation labor, in the form of a '
new horse-power, which is represented
by those who have seen it in operation
as the most simple, efficient and economical
horse-power ever manufactured.
It is of home invention and manufacture,
and is in the hands of gentle- :
men whose names are a guarantee that
the machine is all that is claimed for
it. It is called the Auti Friction :
Iloise-Power, and it is claimed that,
by its peculiar arrangement of cogs j
and pinions in relation to earh' other,
the absolute minimum of friction has

advantages is that the rising or falling
of the floor upon which it rests docs
not in any way effect the working of

Reports from Southwest Georgia and
Florida.
A correspondent who has recently travell I
ed through southwest Georgia and Florida
writes us as follows in reference to
crops in that section. I find in the wes- j
tern part of Decatur County very poor !
corn crops indeed. The cotton crops !
are very good, particularly where they i
have been properly cultivated. lu this ,
comity, (Jackson County, Fla.), the cot !
ton is very small as a genearl thing, j
aud the corn crops very i ferior. There ,
re cannot possibly be more than half
crops of corw made in Jackson and
Decatur Counties. The caterpillar has
made its appearance in many of the
crops already, and should they begin
lestroytng the crops now, but little, |
cotton wiU be made' This part of the ,
laav HUM 1VIV iy iuv J1V1V* mu
be in that proportion, even if the seasons
from this time forth shall be propitious.''
Correspondent writing from ^tbdkton
3ay9: "The farmers of this vicinity have
been rather discouraged for some weeks
past on account of the drought. It is
the general opinion that com is cut off
one fourth, while cotton is looking very
well, and the recent rains, with fair prospects
for more, will make a good yield ol
cotton in this section.
The Fifih Avenue Talk.
The New York newspapers are fillet
with the details of the conference o
Thursday at Mr. Lloyd's rooms, in th<
Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York. Th(
result of the meeting apparently is tha'
the weight of the expressions is mani
festly in favor of Greeley and Brown
though a few of those who participated
in the deliberations were determinedly
opposed to the ticket. The meeting
was held with closed doors, some o
the outsiders facetiously styling it Lh<
'"air tight convention," but notwithstanding
the presence of a dooikeepe:
and other adjuncts of secresy, tbi
opinions of the individuals and theii
positions taken, and the general senti
ment expressed was quickly conveyee
to those outside and collected by the
reporters in various ways.
POLITICAL NOTES.
Col. Bromley of the Il irtford Pos\
writes the following of the Philadel
phia convention. We think it a very
fine description:
It would hardly be true to call thii
a convention of Office-IIolders, for
though some States were representee
hv a maioritv of office-holders, in the
"j ? / ?/ ? ?
convention the office holders were in i
minority. And yet, it is apparen
enough, I think, to any candid observ
er, that it was an office-holders' con
vention, in the sense that they madi
and controlled it. Tl.ey were wisi
?nough not to be in it, but to sent
their representatives. To get at thi
influences which were potent in it:
composition, it will be necessary t(
run down the lines from the delegate
to the conventions, from conventioi
again to caucus, from caucus to man
aging man or men, and to discover hu
or their relations to Government pat
ronage. Who prepared for the caucu
the "regular" ticket for delegates t<
the National Convention? In nim
cases out of ten the line leads down t<
a Government otlice, and there i<
where the spider sits. You may saj
there is not terrorism there, do inter
ference with freedom of choice. True
uo general order was issued, no remot
est hint conve}< d. These are puppet1
that do not wmk by wires. They art
sensible to the subtlest influences, anc
ihc central mind from which radiatt
all the invisible cords that had tt
them plays upon them by thought
and not by touch. And. after all, this
was shrewdly done. There was n<
noise or outcry. The man at Wash
ington did not net d to say to any othei
man on earth that he wanted a renom
inati<m. lie only did not refuse, anc
his silent thought thrilled through al
O ?
the Departments of Government,?Pusi
Office, Treasury, War, Navy, State
and Interior?the farthest Consulate
felt it. and the neanst Postboy wai
magnetized by it. Tidewater anc
Mail Carrier, Postmaster, Collector
and Assessor interpreted the silence
with an office-holder's instinct, anc
took their instructions accordingly.
Of the platform he also sa}s:
Put there is something in thi^hud
die or resolves, a sort of contagion o
the convention and the party, frorc
which we can gather its spirit, its ani
mating influence. It lies cuiled up ir
the self glorification of the first resolu
tion, and it sets Cincinnati and Phila
delphia, as I think, fairly at issue. It
may be stated almost ic a word. Cin
cinati said, 4 We are brothers." Phila
delphia "Me big Injun." Cine'nnat
turns her back upon the griefs and dis
sensions of the past, and, with fact
aglow, leans forward t$ a future o
peace and good will. Philadelphia
folds its arms for four years more o;
heroworship. Brum.

The report is received", with some
show of probability, that another
change in the Erie Directory is to be
made, General McClellan succeeding
General Dix as President. It was understood
at the time of the Sickles

a locum te'nens, and that " Littl?
Mack" was to be made President at an
early day.

The incorporation of the Continental
Railroad Company, with a capital of
$100,000 000, to build a railroad fiom
New York to Council Bluffs, with feeders
extending to the North and South,
is an event of interest. More lines and
j quicker communication between New
York and Chicago are needed. The
present accommodation is inadequate
i | to the rapidly-increasing business of
f the West, and at least six great trunk
i j lines between the lakes and seaboard

11 years, jf business maintains its present

?A few days since, an American
f j was seized in the streets of London,

formed, and taken to Detroit, frhere a
warrant of arrent was made out. The

3 ; this high-banded outraspe, and, on last

1 : stated to Parliament that memorials
b j on the subject had been sent to the

t ; to the Imperial Government. It has
been claimed that the man kidnapped
* was a notorious criminal. The Lon2

to carpet-baggers at home, and then
be punished for not stajinu at home

The juiy, when- completed, will
be much more intelligent than on any
murder trial here for years. So much
is due to the new jury law passed last
winter, which does not exclude for having
an opinion or impression. No more
