Resolved, That we hail In the triumph of Con? servatism in the "O d City by the Sea," an omen for good, a dawn of light which we* trust will . shine with undiminished splendor over the whole State. Resolved, That the secretary of the club be In? structed to transmit to the officers snd members of the varions rifle clubs m Charleston a copy or these resolutions, accompanied with an assurance oUrateinal regard. - A VERT LOW BID.-It ls evident now that Governor Scott has heard or this desperate Ku Klux-Klan that have been parading in the biggest of type .through the columna of the Northern papers for many a month, and he comes forward with a proclamation which ls doubtless meant to strike terror to the heart'of the bravest night rider among them, in the preamble to this docu? ment, he rather ungrammatically recites that "the peace and tranquillity of .the State of South Carolina have been interrupted by assemblages of disguised men, who have assailed and injured peaceful citizens? to their detriment and serions injury, involvlnflfcln many cases, atrocious mur iijjders upon quiet and unoffending citizens," and """he then proceeds to make a bid of $200 reward, per capi-a, ior the apprehension and delivery lu jail, with evidence enough to hang them, of all these terrible fellows. THANES TO JUDGE ORR.-The extra term o? . the Court of Common Pleas for Greenville County adjourned on Friday last. By the most unremit? ting industry Judge Orr succeeded In clearing the equity and appeal dockets for th* first time sm ce tbe close of the war. Immediately before the adjournment of the court, General w. K. Easley arose, and la behalf of the bar, expressed their appreciation of the dignified,y et courteous and kindly manner which has ever characterized - his Honor whilst presiding over the conns or this circuit ; and also their recognition of the wisdom and justice or-bis decisions, and the strict impar? tiality of his charges to jarles. Judge Orr re? sponded m a moat happy manner, saying that be had ever thought that, next to the approval of a math's own conscience, was the approbation or those whom one endeavored to >*rve, and ex? pressed his thanks to the memben f the bar for the cordial readiness with which they had ever seconded his efforts to temper Justice with mercy. ?'. "-7 '. * ' ? CLUBS AND STARS.-Martha Harrison, lodged for disorderly conduct and assaulting Jno. Flynn with a brick, was held for examination. Chas. Bascom, the Juvenile thier arrested for stealing a Btlver knife and some breakfast things, waa turned over to a trial Justice. John, Washington and Robert Houston, arrested for raising a disturbance and fighting m Meeting street, were examined, and John-was discharged. Robert, having been the mover in the quarrel, -was tent to House of Correction fo r five days. Sam. Ferguson, colored, lodged for disorderly condnot on the street, was sent to the House of - Correction for ten days. Paul Gudhon, for raising a disturbance lu Meet mg street, was sentenced to pay a fine or $5, or go to the House of#Correctlon for five days, A milch cow found astray io the City Hall Park ?waa lodged in the Guardhouse yard, and dis? charged on application of the owner. BAPS BALL.-This favorite pastime-is in fall vogu" among the youthful portion of the commu ?nlty. The level green at the weat end of the burnt district, which affords, ample space for the necessary manoeuvring of the players, ls one of the most favored resorts, and yesterday after? noon no less than five spirited games were in progress at the same time. The space is divided off Into grounds, and each afternoon tie different parties hasten to secure their places. A certain amount of shouting seems necessary to the carry? ing-on or the game, and the united noise of the Tallon irties at a distance seemed to indicate that nt tn. less than a pitched battle was going on. The Bcene ls lively and interesting, and sev? eral of the matcaes evinced a high degree or skill in the different branches of batting and catching. A match game will be played this afternoon be? tween the first nine or the Columbia and the se? cond nine or the Carolina, in the large open space at the foot or Broad street. FUBTHER DISCLOBUBE8.-Gus Willlama, Tom Wilson and John Coleman, the three colored men who were arrested-a few days ago for burglary and larceny upon the premises of Mr. Flynn in Market street, were confined In the Guardhouse, and since their incarceration have made some curious disclosures, which show that they were members of an organized band of robbers, who have been doing most of the business In the housebreaking line of late tn the city. 'Besides the crime for which they were arrested, their con? fessions show that they were also Implicated in the extensive burglary committed a few months ago upon the residence of Dr. Pratt In Rutledge Btreet, and yesterday another robbery came to light. Coleman carried the officer -to a certain store, where, upen search being made, a valuable sliver chafing dish was recovered. The article was the property of Mrs. Ravenel,' from whose residence, ia Meeting Btreet, below the Guard? house, lt .was stolen Borne time ago. The prison? ers are stlU telling upon one another, and a large amount of stolen property will probably be re? covered for the owners. 9 THE HEALTH OF THE CITY. A Splendid Showing for tbe past Three Months-The Healthiest City on th? Coast Sustaining her Reputation The Future Probabilities. Now that three of the hottest of the months of 18T1 have passed, sail the month of August ] Dearly half completed, a review of the Ivyglen! history of the city during those months may be useful as Indicating the probabilities or a continu? ance of the excellent condition of public health that now undoubtedly exists. The Palmetto City has for many years enjoyed a very marked Im? munity-from all diseases of a troublesome char racter, and from all present appearances there would certainly seem to be no reason io antici? pate that the season of 1671 will prove an excep? tion to the rule. That terror of the tropics, yellow fever, with all its pestilential companion-plagues, seams to have been effectually driven from the city with the Introduction of the system o: tidal drains, or, at least, as soon thereafter us the ben* eflcent resnlts or the new system had time to be manifested. The city has had no epidemic of j yellow fever Blnce 1858. There were, to be sure, lo 1S02, certain sporadic cases, some of which were rata), but the disease did not in that year assume the proportions of an epidemic. There have boen, therefore, nine years of absolute Immunity from this dread --disease. In addition to this, a very-slight examination of the meteorological history or the present season will Bhow that the conditions are extremely un? favorable for the existence of yellow fever or any other pestilence. The most oppressive heat of the year, so far, came early in the summer, and was succeeded by a period of comparatively cool weather during July that has had the good effects, of dispelling malaria and bracing the constitu? tions.of the people, so as to leave them at the pres? ent time In better tone, and with rar more physi? cal ability to ward off the approach of disease, than they would have If they had been enerva? ted by three month3 of successive and continu? ous heat. The comparative absence of rain during the past three months has also been a marked peculiarity of the present season. The total fall or rain during May, June and July or this year was but 10.34 inches, against 13.49 In* ches during the corresponding period in 1370, and in lost month alone lt was less than one Inch, against three inches In July, 16*0. This drought 13 now, however, In all probability at an end, as during the first'ten days or the present month there have been 2.67 inches or rain, 1.67 or which fell during the twenty-four hours between 8 A.M. or Thursday and 8 o'clock yesterday morning. The weather indications now Bhow a probability or a considerable rall or rain during the present month, which will have the effect or thoroughly cleansing the city, and cannot rail to be beneficial in a sanitary point or view. The actual mortality returns for the past three months also afford strong encouragement for the belief that the re? mainder of the season will be exceptionally healthy. These are given lu the following table, which has been carefully prepared from the re? cords of Dr. Robert Le boy, the city registrar: COMPARATIVE MORTALITY DURING TUB FEBIODS FROM MAY 1 TO AUGUST l^N THE YEARS 1869, 1870 ARD 1871. CAUSES OF DEATH. Cholera infantum... Consumption. Diarrhoea. Acute..... Diarrhoea, Chronic Dysentery, Acute... Dysentery, Chronic Dysentery, Typhoid. Erysipelas...*.. Fever, Congestive... Fever, Intermittent. Fever, Remittent... Fever, Typhoid. Fever, Ty. Malar. Fever, Tjfjhus.. Marasmus. Measles. Teething. Other Causes. Totals. Whites. 18691187011871 170. 165 Colored. 1869118701571 17| 30 20 4 180 278 It will be seen that the deaths for the periods incl nd ed in the table have been classified Ur st, as to the race or the decedents, and second, as to 1 he causes or death-all diseases which are endemic, or caused by climatic Influence, or peculiar to children. Oeing separately stated. A careful Btndy of the figures, will show the fellowing Im? portant facts: The deaths among the whites have been fewer tn this year than In either of the two preceding years, and those among the colored population, while they have been a trifle more than In 1869, have been almost a hundred less than In 1870. The deaths among the whites from ordinary diseases, accidents, violence, Ac, (as shown in the last Une of the table,) have been nineteen more in number this year than last, and the deaths from endemic, climatic and infantile diseases have consequently been thirty-four less than last year- and* twenty-three less than in 1669. Many of. the diseases which have caused fatality among the whites dur? ing the months mentioned in the past two years, have causer} no deaths during the corres? pondi? g period this year. Among these are chronic dysentery, typhoid dysentery, erysipelas, remittent rever and measlea Many others show a reduced fatality this year, as ci olera Infantum, consumption, diarrhoea, acute dysentery, typho maiartal lever, marasmos and teething, and but two diseases show an increase lu the number ot recorded deaths. In the table or deaths among the colored people, the same remarks are, In the main, true, and the result or the whole examina? tion shows that the Bummer or 1871 hes been so far, and, from aU appearances, is almost certain to remain, more healthy even than the summer or either 1869 or 187*0, both of which years, lt will be remembered, were exceptionally healthy. DERELICT SCAVENGERS.-The general health of the olty, as win be seen by a carefully prepar? ed article in another column, was never better than at present, and its excellent condition re? flects much credit on Dr. Lebby, the city regis? trar, and his associates lu the board ol health, there le, however,, another class of city em? ployees who, by their reckless and criminal dis? regard of duty, seem determined to do what in them Hes to imperil the prospect of th? city's continuance in health. These are the city scav? engers, whose duty it ls to see that all ga-bage, ashes, and other refuse matter ls thoroughly re? moved from the city streets before io A. M. each day. lt ls the duty or the citizens to have all .such articles removed from their premises before 7 o'clock every morning, and this part or ihe work is, as a general rule, ralthfully and promptly performed, bnt owing to the negligence of the scavengers thk refuse matter is too often left on the street until midday, to fester and decompose in the hot sun, not only impregnating the atmosphere with foul amelia, but disseminating also the germs of many a subtile and dangerous disease. Another point in regard to which the scavengers are criminally careless, is, in cleaning Market street in the vicinity of the market build? ings, especially on Sunday mornings. With the large business transacted In those buildings every Saturdsy evening, there are always large quantities of refuse vegetables and animal matter scattered about tbe street after midnight, and a sufflc le nt force of carts should be put'at work there during the early hours, or Sunday morning, to have the place thoroughly cleansed by day? light, Instead of which the sun ls generally many hours high before the one or two lazy laborers em? ployed have made much progress toward the re? moval of the pestilential mass. -i CARD. CHARLESTON, August 10,1871. Brother J. J. Beasley, late keeper of the Masonic Hall, has informed the undersigned that some persons have connected the recent action of the hall committee with the revolting rumor in circulation lu reference to himself. As an act of simple justice to Brother Beasley, lt ts proper for .ns to state (as members or the hall committee) that onr action was entirely discon? nected with said rumor, and that the same ls noy credited by us. (Signed) B. RUSH CAMPBELL, EL W. SCHRODER, P. K. COBURN*, W. J. TRIM. CHARLES INOLESBY, * ' S. THOMAS, JR. THE CITY MISSIONARY..-By appointment of tbs Protestant Episcopal Charca trie Ber. Mr. Creen, tho city missionary, bas been given special charge of the spiritual welfare of the patients in the City Hospital. This is an- Important and use? ful innovation, and the ministrations of a devoten and self-sacrificing clergyman in this abode of suffering are calculate J to do an Immense amount of good. GOING AHEAD.-The Enquirer notices a com? mendable spirit of Improvement In Yorkvjlle. Several new bouses have been erected, and others are in progress of erection. Mr. Jame3 Jefferyp and Mr. J. ?., z arch er, who were burned out last fall, have built on the former sites, houses every way more useful and comfortabl; than their for? mer dwellings. Several persons have enlarged and repaired-reconstructed and remodelled their dwellings, rebuilt their fences, and tastefally re? painted the whole, so that York begins to look like a new and live town. The carpenter's ham? mer ls heard from every quarter, and the painter is seen busy with his bnnh itt ?everal sections of the town. SUMMER RESORTS AT HOME.-By means- ol the reduced rates or fare offered by the excursion ticket system on the South Carolina Railroad, an opportunity ls now offered, to those citizens of Charleston who are unable to take their summer flight to the exorbitant watering places of the North, to enjoy a sojourn In a region or country very near at hand, which has advantages of a very superior kind ror a summer resort, and can be reached for about one hair of the rates charged a few years ago. Along the Hue or this favorite road there ls found at Flat Rook, Greenville, Wal? halla, and Clarksvllle, ror instance, as salubrious a climate aa anywhere In the United States, while the scenic beauty of -Table Rock, Caesar's Head, Tallulah, Tnccoa Falls and Cashier's Valley, all of which places are within 25 to 35 miles of Pendle? ton, is hardly to be surpassed in tho most favored sections of the country. At any of these points good board may be obtained at from $20 to $35 per month, which is about one-quarter or one. sixth as much as ls charged at the. Northern watering places and the Virginia Spring, and the excursion tickets now being Issued by trie railroad may be used until November. Hotel Arrivals-August ll. MILIS HOUSE. Colonel Wm. N.
