AGENT IN WALTERBORO. 0UK TOWN ELECTION. On the first Monday in next month our charter election takes place, when an Intendant and six wardens are tc be chosen. This election is quite a? important to the citizens and tax payers of Beaufort as a presidential elec tion. We trust therefore that immediate action will be taken to secure the nomination and election of good met to these offices. We hope our town is about to entei upon a long career of prosperity, and we know that the good time may be hastened by an efficient town govern ment. Politics we are glad to say, will have little to do with this election, The aim of all is to get a good Intendant and good men for Wardens. ntrrrvrr nnvn o finm IVL T JL.U L nu.ii; ot jxxx As the time approaches for the hearing in the Bond scrip business, it is pretty well settled in the public mind that Judge Willard will decide against it. Auditor Gary n mains inflexibly opposed to any compromise. Those interested for the scrip will appeal from Willard's decision and bring the matter before the court in banc, where it will be more tenderly dealt with Some go so far as to assert that the majority of the court are "fixed." but 4k:. :. 1 _ .i i i i iuia 10 pruuauiy vaiy me ooasnog 01 fearful speculators. Paterson says that even if the courts go back on him he will make it all right again when the legislature meets. One thing is certain, however, nothing can be done with the scrip until fall, as the court does not sit in banc until November 2G 0 YELLOW FEVER. A very able paper upon yellow fever was read before the Medical Convention at Houston, Texas, lately, from which we gather that for the development of this disease a temperature of over 80 degrees Fahrenheight, for one or two months, is absolutely necessary with this other pre-disposing causes, such as a moist atmosphere, the presence of btagnant water, decaying animal or vegetable matter, co-operate. Yellow fever is a disease that can easily be transported. It is from this cause that the quarantine regulations are considered so necessary, although the authors of the above paper think little of the benefit to be derived from quar antine restrictions, as at present enforced. They say "it must be admitted that their protection has not generally been efficient; that they can operate only in one mode of the production of yellow fever; that they are opposed by many on theoretical grounds, and by many others from interesttd considerations, which impede their execution, and that they have made little compensation for the expense, the delay and the loss with which they are necessarily attended." BAD MANAGEMENT. If Superintendent Millett had been Within hearing distance of Yemassee station on Saturday evening last, he would have heard himself and the P. R. R. R. as well "cussed" as could be done in English. The train which should have connected with the Charleston train at 12 o'clock did not reach Yemassee until 6 o'clock : so its passengers had to wait in that infernal swamp until 2 o'clock in the morning. Passengers from Charleston for Beaufort were detained until 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Twenty-five hours from Charleston to Beaufort. There was no excuse for this outrage upon the public. A train was detained at the terminus by the auperintetde it in order to load it with au amount of iron -which the engine was unable to pull. Either some more regard should be paid to the rights of the public or the passenger train should be withdrawn altogether. 9&T At a meeting of the legal voters of Yei issee township held June 29, it was resolved that a tax of one dollar be assessed on each legal voter and one mil; on the dollar on all real and personal property in the township I or the support of the schools for the year 1873. During the .ast year there have been rnne schools open at a cost of $1370. There was an average attendance of 1260 scholars. One school-hou^c has been bu.l at a cost of $300. It is proposed the comiDg year to have three more schools in operation and to two build additional school houses. Secretary Cardozohasat last decided to announce himself as a candidate for State Treasurer. A month ago he was !-.J i- r-- .v. Qeiermioea m go lor iuh pusiuuu ui congressman-at-large. What has induced the change is unknown, but there is uo doubt that he is developing a good deal of strength for treasurer, There is great confidence in the honesty of Mr. Card020 and although he has had very little chance to display financial ability, his friends are confident that such at^ity is not wanting. # J . services of Mr. Glenn, a gentleman cf'i experience in that line, and his work is j guaranteed to give satisfaction. To those #hhi?g to secure excellent pictures during the momh, here is an opportunity, j County Checks. At a meeting of the county commissioneis on Tuesday last, the board is- j sued checks to the amouut of about fourteen hundred dollars, at the same ; time they refused to issue checks to , other parties for\udited bills, because ; it was unlawful to issue checks when i there was no funds in the treasury to j pay the same. Let us see what the ! ; law is on the subject. On page 139, ! section 9, article 1 of the revised stat- , . utes, we fiud * the county com- ; missioners shall not draw any order upon the couuty treasurer, uutil after j the monthly return of the treasurer shall have been made to the county ! commitsioners of the amount of funds collected, nor unless he has funds in the j treasury to pay the same The report of the connty treasurer for the month tiding June 15, showed , a balance on hand, in both county and poor funds of less thaD ffty dollars, and the commissioners have since then is ! sued checks for about ticciity five Iain- ^ drtd dollar a. Now we may be very j stupid, but we cannot uuderstand how j the commissioners can issue this1, amount lawfully and not be authorized to give checks lor all the audited bills ? afloat. If the law'is violated, why not , i J ' give every one a chance, and not on the most tlimsy pretence serve them- , 1 selves and friends. , The law does not provide for any ex| ceptions, and yet the commissioners , i | consider every case an exceptiou. We ( advise our readers to read the report ; i of the commissioners in another cul- \< ! umn, and they will see for themselves ; what claims have been allowed, and we i I assert that everv check issued at the j t last meeting was-a direct violation of j the act referred to, and the commis- , sioners laid themselves liable to prose- j cution, as provided for in the act. We should be glad to see every one holding 1 i an audited bili present at the next 1 meeting and assert their claim for t i j ; a check, and inform the board that if t any exception is made it must include t all. jj As long as the commissioners con- 1 tinue to audit bills presented, and issue ! checks faster thau they cau possibly be i paid we can see no hope for any im- J i provement in the finances ot ISeauturt county. Let a t-top be put to the issuing of checks, aud for that matter let > < the board adjourn over till after the 1 next electiou. aud all the taxpayers will * say Ameu.

Senator Smalls addressed a ; large meeting of Republicans at Coosawhatchie on Saturday last. He will | hold another meeting at lemassee on I next Saturday. The Senator is a hard worker and will certainly be rewarded by the people with auother terra in the 1 Senate. The one term principle dont ^ ' apply in his case. t To Allendale by Rail. e Beaufort celebrates the fourth of j July by going to Allendale by railroad, i The completion ot the road to that j point brings us into communication t with the richest plaDtiDg section of the ( county.

Sehep er on Bay street, by way of the door on' the street leading to the wharf. The 1 thief passed through the store and up 1 stairs to the chamber of Mr. Scheper.

Mr. Scheper requests the thief to return the safe key, as he ! 1 dont intend to use the safe as long as the key is not in his possession. We call attention to the adver 5 tisement in another column of Mrs. Bar ton, who is now prepared to take nhoto- | graphs and ferrotypes, in the highest j 1 stvle of the art. She has secured the ' Sales Day. On Monday last, at Sheriff's sale was sold the plantation of (xeo. Wells, on St. Helena Island, under a foreclosure of mortgage, to Eugene Edgel, for $2,5-50. Republican State Convention. Columbia. S C., July 1. The Republican State executive committee met here on Saturfa and determined to call the State nominating convention for the 21st August. The legal proceedings against Parker, and likewise those against the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, remain in statu quo. The Department of Justice holds that our neutrality laws have not been violated by the steamer Edgar Stewart. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEETING. Tuesday, July 2. Board met at 11 o'clock, all the members present. The question came up as to how many days the Jur,- Commissioner could charge for services. This vexed question has troubled the Commi sioners for a year past and has always resulted in the Jury Commissioner getting all he claimed. The account of B. R. Lewis as road surveyor was presented, showing collections on account of road tax amounting to $392.&. Payments on account of highways $308.38. The roads he states in Peeples township are in as good condition as they have been for fifteen years. Mr. Bennett, Intendant of Beaufort, sent a recommeudation for the admittance of' two persons to the poor house which caused considerable discussion. Mr. Muckenfuss did not understand that the Intendant had any authority to re quest admittance to the poor house of paupers. After a laborious discussion it was resolved to accept them as paupers to be fed by the keeper of the poor hou-e, the bill for the same to be paid on the recommendation of II. K. Qarlton, overseer for the poor for this township. Bill of II. 31. Stuart, M. L)., for drugs furnished the poor three months was V . i Ai??i +,\ _ 1 1 presented amounting to.?ici.ou, cucck issued. II.

Bill of Henry Wiggiu, ferryman, $37.50, check issued. Bill of II. M. Stuart for services as poor physician for the last quarter $106, check issued. Bill of Kobert Jenkins, ferryman, $07.50, cheek issued. Samuel Gordon, witness before trial Justice, 81.50, check issued. Bill of Matilda Miller for services as nurse in the poor house, 815.00, check issued. Mr. Langloy, School Commissioner, inquired of the board whether they considered it necessary for him to present his bond to the board after the AttorneyGeneral had approved of it. The board decided that it was necessary for them to approve of the bond, and he was request ed to produce it. The bond was shown and the commissioners affixed their names to it. Mr. Brodie presented his bills for feeding the county poor for the month of June, amounting to 8JUU. 17, checks were issued for full amount. A letter from Mr. Franz was received, requesting to know why the checks he acid were not paid, as the law provided, hat no checks should be issued unless here was funds in the treasury to pay he same. The board took it as a good okc, and referred the matter to some me, it was not certain who. Mr. Brolie presented a bill "for burv ng paupers, amounting to 8 i 5.00, checks ssued.

Mr. Muckenfuss declared that hereafer, he would not sign a check except on he poor fund, and if they were going to j .-.-ue checks so freely, he had a carpetlag full of certificates, for which he cleared checks. The chairman stated that he had been J iflfered two per cent, to issue checks for ? I, GOO of audited bills, as he said nothing ibout a divvy the matter was laid over. A bill was presented by 11. C.

Columbia, S. C. July 2. ! state folitics. The movements and speeches of fudge Orr are alarmiug the friends of Frank Mosts. It is evident that the Judge means business, and that he has l host of determined, influential and mergetic friends. It is also certain hat his avowed design of securing the lomiuation of an honest State ticket is l accordance with a pledge of Grant . ,o support the effort with all the power )f the federal administration. Jt is is6erted, with great earnestness that I mles3 the coming State convention ar ! >ede to the demands of the Orr men here will be a split and a thorough i eform ticket will be put in the field, j Such a ticket would receive the cordial 1 support of Grant and the party out- I side this State. Frank Moses is said to be very blue. 1 He is working against tide for the nomination, and even if he gets it, the chances are that he will be defeated in the election by the combination of the Orr men, reformers and the democrats. It is not certain that Orr wants the 1 nomination for governor for himself, ( but unless he is satisfied with the State j? tickt there will be trouble in the camp. 11 Range of Thermometer i Observed at Dr. H.

B. TREVETT. Chairman of Board. The Blue Ridge Ring". The complaint in the case of John M. Mackay against the Blue Ridge j Railroad Company, contains an array j of charges which, if fully proved, will justify the poor opiuion in which the 1 members of the Railroad Ring have been held by the people of the State. In that complaint, it is alleged that a large number of the endorsed bonds | were, "by reason of the incapacity, ? ! dishonesty, speculations and fraudu! lent practices'' of the officers of the < ' company, diverted from the purpose j for which they were issued ; that the ! proceeds of such bonds as were s >ld j ' ; was "almost wholly misapplied ; that i | Si,707.000 of Reve ue Bond Scrip was ! issued to the President, Mr. J.

The next morning at ? da}break, we became dimly conscious t of unfamiliar sounds which had been t making themselves a part of our morn- t ing dreams. A loud monotone, seem- i ing to come from a distauce, recalled s the well-remembered sound of the rest- i less ocean breaking on its shores. At t intervals, a deep moan which died a away into a faint wailing sigh, told ? that the wakening wind was breathing i through the solemn aisles of some pine forest near. Still a little nearer, a gur- t gle aud dash, evidently disclosed a f musical brook close by, murium ing a over a stoney bed. And at last, ruak- i ing a desperate effort our eyes opened a on the white walls of our tent, through 1 which the ruorniog sun was shining a brightly, and we remembered we were t at Clatsop. And Clatsop i9 the un- t melodious name of the fashionable v watering place of Oregon, having sev c eral rivals along the coast, but none 1 possessing such numerous attractions. I Indeed, several old at.d observant a travelers warmly contend that no other 1 summer resort on this continent pes c jesses so many natural advantages, c That a few artificial ones ar needed, c is evident, from the fact that half of j the visitors are encamped like ourselvi s s :>n this grassy sward near the one- t storied, c!ap-board<d. whitewashed v ' 1 ' i building we call "The flotcl," and [ r which never has had and never will c liavc, sutlicieut accommodations for all t who come, till it pa?M? out of the i nmds of its pri sent owners. Our land d oid and his wife, arc half-breeds y L-Veiich and Indiau, :m4 have sufficient t Frtuch blood to make them superb ii ;ooks. and enough Indian to prevent 1: ,hcm ever improving their house, c grounds or toads, though the number [ if guests constantly incrtasis ivery D ,e'.r. FortunaUly, we were aware of fc his before we h ft Ikuiland, and ariiv- j 1 ng here btf< re night, had lime to pitch e >ur tent and spread the mattress. I v Before the dt-w is oil' Iho grass we 8 iear the bnakfast b* 11 which the laud- r ord is obligingly linging along our t lue of ten is. and lifting our canvass loor, we reaoguize before as the brook ii vhich we forded yesterday, its waters v leep and limpid, reflecting bending b )oughsatul drooping leaves, and grace- n ul vines clambering over the trees c tnd bushes which so densely line the u )anks. It has its rise in some rocky, \ ileut dell among those distant hills, o lows through the valley, robing these ii neadows in living giv en, and "goes on t; orcvor to the sea." It furnishes for a >ur table the (incst brook and salmon a rout; the landlord taking daily, some- C imcs thirty, sometimes eighty, from d ris trap, which is set below the falls a ew steps from the hotel. rr\t ? .1 ..1 .f/ll..i ' V i nis ocauunu vauey or p:am 01 emuop is on the Pacific coast, twenty miles ^ oulh of the mouth of the Columbia a iver, the whole shore for that distance 1 King wide, hard and sin lving, alfoid- a ng facilitie s for watering places at any 8 >oint. The plain here is quite narrow, * he base of the foot hills of the Coast 0 hinge mountains b> ing but three or ^ our miles distant, while a spur from hem stretches acro.-s the plain on the 1 outh. and juts out into the Pacific at ^ in elevation of four or live hundred 1 Let. In the distance are the higher w r >eaks of the Coast Ihinge, deneelv vooded from base to pcik, sky mingl- i c ng mountains that o'erlook the clouds. I u ! t* Such a country must of course .bound in game, but not always of the j c Icsirable kind, as a part/ who started ^ lit for elk a few days ago found a hear | nstead. He showed at first au evident ksire to pursue his morning walk in ,n opposite diu ction from the hunters, iut on being attacked he showed tight. * le was soon killed, but not until he : md hugged the largest dog so forcibly a hat bo has been lame ever since, j c Uong the borderl of our creek near its aouth, the massive boulders strewn si hickly around, the treis, bushes and h urface ol the water are alive with a j h ariety of birds, snipe, plover, sea- ; 1 ;ulls, geese, ducks, and an occasional n raue, v. ith its legs and ueek of indefi- j ti tite length, stalking majestically oyer * he sand. i a The beach is but a short distance ^ rom the hotel and we find it in a per- i ^ ect condition for driving, promtnad- j 8' ug and bathing at certain hours in the 81 lay. The undertwo is scarcely per- a eptiblc at the ebb tide, and if we bathe 0 hen we only refrain from venturing ^ iut so far Driving on the shore we j,* ometimes see circliug above us a bald- 0 leaded eagle in quest of spoils. As we top to watch him, he swoops down . ipon the spar from some old wreck, ^ vhere we leave him gazing unblinkngly at the sun and waiting patiently J or a belated crab, which the waves j ft rill leave on the beach. On our return j ii re find a companion near him on a log; at on our attempting to approach r hem, both spread their wings and soar < way till they were only black specks a the blae ether. The remains of an inlucky crab strewn on the beach in * lundred pieces and every claw picked lean, informs us that oar nations emlem had dined successfully. And iow in front is an animated group omposed of all the nurses, the babies nd baby wagons, the children and the andlord, looking for clams. Their tresence is readily discovered by the ,ir holes they leave behind in the sand, md while we stand by, amused specatora, the landlord puts down his pade about a foot, throws out the and, and falling on his knees, grabs mergetically for the "skedad ing" clam )efore he escapes through the soft sand underlying the hard upper crudt. Yesterday as we were gladly re 1 iponding to the summons of the dinner } nell, our little Indian bqp, who makes 1 ires and stands on his bead for the 1 imusement of the children, pointed to ' he creek and said the crab boat bad trrived; so we turned aside for a mo nent and found the boat moored to the , >ank, and eighty sprawling crabs in he bottom. A buge iron pot of boilng water hung over a fire on the bank, ind as the fishermen prepared to throw n the first installment of crabe, we urned away before the cruel process ihould make too vivid an impression, , md spoil our relish for the salad to- j norrow. ( During the heated term, which has | >een experienced here as elsewhere, we j ind these primeval forests stretching < iround us, carpeted with the softest I noss, afford charming, shaded walks it noonday. Bnt as the shadows ennthen we turn towards thebeacb: md to day as we approached it near ] he mouth of the creek, we were a title startled to find in our path, a l vhitened human scull. Turning it 1 >ver, my companion said "Injun." rhen we recollected heariog ofau old ndian burying ground somewhere, ind sending our eyes out over the ( audscape to discover its probable lo- | :ality, we saw some sand bills near, , :overed with stunted pints. As we i limbed the hill we noLiei d the hunts 1 irotruding from the sides where thr-. | oil had fallen away, or else had buried i ( hem itself. At our feet, l,the herds vhite bones laid mixed with human n<>uld," probably the horses of the lead warrior, killed at his death. Some , lad l>een placed ou raised platforms, as he r.?lting poles still stood; while the ! lecayed cauoes in which thy moss was [rowing thickly, showed they had also | >cen used as the receptacle for the j lusky form of some forest hero or dark laired maid.
