Address all c^ftiuntcationa to THE TBIBCNE BEAUFORT, S.C. The report of the Supervising Surgeon of Marine Hospitals, which has just been issued from the Government printing office, contains full particulars of the work of yellow fever in different parts of the country. One of the most interesting essays included in the material of which this report is composed, is by Dr. James S. Herron, Surgeon of the Marine Hospital patients at Pensacola. There were upwards of 275 cases of yellow fever at that port last year, the disease having been * epidemic there. As the pestilence, did not visit other parts of the country, it is thought that the disease may be confined to Key West and its immediate neighbor hood. Dr. Herron says the epidemic of last year was not of local origin but the>esult of importation. The number of cases outside the hospital at that place is put down at 225, with 55 deaths, a mortality . of twenty-five pir cent. Of |forty-three aumuica 10 xue nospuai wiiuin. lue nrai forty eight hoars after they were taken down, there were only two deaths or less than five per. cent and after an experience of three epidemics, Dr. Herron believes that where the patient ia seen within the first thirty-six hours, the mortality in yellow fever need not exceed ten per cent, for hospital, Jtnd five per cent, for civil practice. The fact is alao made prominent that much of the terror which attaches to yellow fever is inspired by the mystery that conceals its origin and progress, while in reality it is responsible for fewer deaths than some other less dreaded maladies. The practical lesson taught by the epidemic of 1878 is included in ^General Sanitation" which comprises 'pure air, unpolluted water, wholesome food and individual hygiene. , Prrtsi^AnK.flmnf hut n-ritton ar In which he intends to convey the impression that he ia not a candidate for reelection to the Presidency. It is plain to be seen however that he iajn the hands of his friends and willing to sacrifice four more years of his life to the service of his country, if the Republican party demands it. He says "In the first place. I never sought the office for a second nor even for a first nomination. To the first 1 was called from a life position, one created by Congress expressly for me, for supposed services rendered to the Republic. The position vacated I liked. It would have been most agreeable to me to Jmvc retained it until such time as Congress might have consented to my retirement, with the rank and a portion of he emoluments which I so much needed, to a home where the balance of my days might be spent in peace and the enjoyment of demestic quiet, relieved from the ares which have oppressed me so conitantly now for fourteen years. Without i eekiug the office for the second term, the l.omin&tion was tendered to me l>y a i nanimous vote of the delegates of all i .<e States and Territories. I cannot say i at I was not pleased at this, and at the /erwhelming endorsement which their : tion received at the election following; .tit must be remembered that all the i .orifices, except that of comfort, had on made in accepting the first term. -low for the Third Term. I do no s uit it any more than I did the first. i would not write or utter a word to ;tnge the will of the people in expreai . g and having their choice. i am not, no have I ever been, n can .date for a renomination. I would not > cept a nommation, If it were tendered ? j|e8s it shouid.come under such circumi inces a* to make it an .imperative duty, t . cumstauces not likely io arise/1 VUh Culture No. 1. Although there are no salmon in any < i the South Atlantic or Golf rivers, it is ?.:iite possible that the California variaty i ay in time be introduced into and t . ire in some of our streams, as it posi .? es the valuable quality of being able exist in much wanner waters than the ; th Atlantic fish can endure. Efforts i .v making at the present to stock severrivers north of Hattcvas, as the Hndson, i *i Delaware and the Suaquehannah, lib the Sacramentoaabnon, and should * o undertaking succeed it will be next j order to push the experiment further uth. But be it remembered that this i .titer of flsb culture is a new a science, i d tbst nothing in the way of results ? .n be safely taken for granted In ad noe of actual and attained success. As ; -1 unexplained anomalies present them. ? ivea, and new facta are constantly . . } .icing themselves on record. .'or instance, there being no native tun along our Pacific Ocean coast, - low attempts have been made to, ac* oate the common Atlantic oysters in as "water*. As a first effect of the neplaaiing process it was found that i o oysters rapidly increased in size and ; pcared to thrive prodigiously, thus l ving assurance of an important and v.. uabic addition to the long list of good MKhH % things produced on thnt const. Vain hope. In a few u:on4hs the oysters were all dead, and from soiuc cause or other the spat thrown out while the parent bivalves were yet alive, perished without forming vouug oysters, and td this day the experiment of oyster naturalisation in California remains a dead failure. iTow, who could have foreseen or predicted such a rusult as this? It there were no native oysters on our western coast, what could be easier or simpler than to import them from the east, stock all waters suitable, and enjoy the fruits of the enterprise? but in this case in lieu of success, we have total failure as the result, and it now seems to be a tolerably assured fact that oysters cannot live and perpetuate their species along the California coast. It will be safest then not to count too strongly on a future supply of salmon from our own waters. Undoubtedly the first enterprise which should engage the attention of a Fishery Commissioner in this State is the restoration of our shad fisheries. By means of certain ingenious contrivances impregnated shad eggs can be hatched out by t Un M:ilUn .1 ~ J. 41 i* Al iuc uiiiuuuf uuu at iLie proper nine iqc infant fish turned loose to shift for themselves. It will be necessary ulso, for the adult fish to have easy access to suitable spawning localities, and where this is impossible by reason of dams wholly obstructing their ascent, the parties owning said dams must be compelled to provide capacious fish-ways, affording to all anadromous fishes an easy passage to the upper waters. It has been fully established by legal decision in the New England States, where some of the wealthiest manufacturing corporations have attempted to defy the new Fishery Statutes on the gtound that such legislation was an interference with vested rights, that the State has full power in the premises, and that private interests inust give way when incompatible with . the public good. After all the putting in of suitable fish passes in all dams, is a mere matter of dollars and cents, and the comparatively small outlay required ought not to be allowed the slightest consideration as compared with the general interest of the whole community. Special statutes must also be enacted and enforced in regard to the time and manner of capturing tho fish, either by netting or otherwise. Close seasons must be declared when it shall be illegal to take them in any way. and the general sentiment of the community must be enlisted in favor of a rigid enforcement of the fishery laws. At a late period. wben shad have become plentiful Mid can be furnished to consumers at reasonable rates, some of the restrictions may be taken off or modified if thought judicioub so to do. In a book entitled " Superior Fishing " published in the year 1865, Mr. Roosevelt of New York city used the following language regarding the shad fisheries of that vicinity: "The shad that a few years ago swarmed up the Hudson river in numbers incomputable have become scarce, and quadrupled in price during the last decade. On every portion of our sea coast, in spite of replenishment from the mighty ocean, the same diminution is visible, while many of our confined inland waters are absolutely depopulated." Thus, Mr. Roosevelt in the year of our Lord 1865. Mr. Roosevelt's lamentations and protests fell upon good soil. His recommendation, concurred in by many other influential parties, were heeded, and the Empire State soon rejoiced in the pos- j session of a trio of duly appointed! Fishery Commissioners, with legislation and appropriations of money at their backs. Of the present condition of the Hudson river and neighboring shad fisheries we will let this same Mr Roosel velt speak. In a lecture on fish culture recently delivered at the Cooper Institute New York City, he says: " Admirable subject of the fish cu'tur< ist's skill. the shad offers every induce-' ment to nis cultivation. He is found everv whm< ? * ??- ' ?uui uniai, is unnnimously prolific, and is easily handled; cheap Implements only are needed ; the eggs hatch in a few days; they aie laid in the pleasant summer time; no especial care is demanded ; the conditions of success ore simple; he requires little supervision ; when hatched he does not hare to be fed ; he takes his own way unaided to the sea, there he grows and fattens at the expense of snails and* worthless animalcuiie; he comes back of himself to the river where he was bred; be lets himself be taken in all manner of nets; and, finally, when he presents himself in his full blown glory of some half dozen pounds upon the table, be is a dish fit for the gods. More than that?tar more important to us poor wretched mortals? fit tor the poor. Ho can be sold for three cents a pound, and is the cheapest food in the world for the people. For four years past the New York Commissioners h:tve yearly deposited 6,000,000 to 10,000,000 of shad fry in the Hudson, while tho Connecticut Commissioners in one year raised the enormous number of 92,000,000. fisheries which were exhausted have revived; the number taken at s single baul of a net hss been largely increased, while the price has been rwi?v??-l ?? **--? -l * nv l<U?b BIJOU were told wholesale last year at the fisheries on the Hndaon at $8 a hundred, whereas two years before cc n tract* had been made at $18. The yield from the Connecticut River in 1870 and 1871 has been greater than it has been since 1802. As many as 8,060 were taken in one haul, tho largest haul previously on record being 2,800 in 1811. In the mean while the Southern nverst which were extremely prolific a few years ago, arc rapidly descending from bad to worse." Witl> Mr. Roosevelt's culogium on the culinary quality of the shad, and wittf his evident satisfaction in being aide to point to so good a record for himself and brother commissioners, we heartily concur; aa also, with bis ill concealed disgust at the condition of the Southern nvers, contemptuously alluded to as M rapidly descending from bed to worse.? I)o Mr. Governor and Messrs. Legislators, give us shad in all our rivers at $8 per hundred, and gain the plaudits of a \: Now that the people are beginning to ^ control their own affairs' the Southern States are quiet, and peaoefall, and the < world is hastening to bear testimony to < the geniality of our climate, the fertility ! of our soil, the cheapness of our lands the vastuess of our undereloped resour-, ces generally, and the superiority of our ndvantages for money getting. To^the | capitalist, the manufacturer or trader, , the agriculturist, the mechanic, or the unskilled laborer, willing to toil for a reward, no section presents such inducements as the Sooth. , I The murderers Bunch and Hardee were not executed last Friday, as sheriff Bowen has misgivings as to the authority vested in the Lieutenant Governor to respite tbem. It would have been well for Mr. Bowen to have decided that question last month at the time appointed for their execution. The Bcecher trial is near its end. Mr Evarts is speaking and will be followed by Mr Beach for the defense. Judge Neilson thinks bis charge to the jury will not take more than a dov Tt ?o nn/1? stood that be will not In any way recite | or call much attention to the evidence; that will necessarily he done by the lawyers on whom falls the dnty of summing np. Thus the charge will be very matenally^shortened. A great deal of speculation is indulged in aa to the verdict. Each side professes a feeling of certainty as to decision by the jury in their fafbr; but, in the community at largo, there seems to be a feeling that there will be a disagreement. It is pretty welfsettled that the grasshopper scarce in the northwest has been greatly exaggerated, and the holders of immeuce quantities ot wheat are accused of circulating the rumors in order to advance the price of that staple. The wheat market is very sensitive, and is easily influenced by reports of its beiDg injured by hoppers or rust, and no doubt great fortunej^ur* at stake on the^iesult of the damage that may be done to it by these enemies of the farmers. Charleston has secured ail the prises this yetr in the boat races. The Bayan nali boyB made a gallant fight but the Charli ston boats were too nimble for them and showed' them, their sterns in every race. In an article on "the tax bin and why it should be vetoed" the Charleston News, says: "The thirteenth section levies a county tax of three mills, besides ad ditional taxes for past indebtedness, Ac.: These are in addition to special taxes ordered ig previoos years. For instance, two years ago the Legislature authorised the Connty Commissioners of Beaufort to collect a tax of two mill annually until her debt was extinguished. Should this Tax Bill become a law Besufort will therefore, pay a County tax of six mills-. , The County debts and County expen ses are enormous, and the debts abonld i not be paid untii they hare been scrutiu- < ized by others than the men who made ? the debt and own it. A rigid inrestiga - 1 tion is in progress in Charleston, and as i much can be done else ware. The County \ machinery is too costly and cumbtons, \ aud should be cheapened and simplified. XT3ET\^"S.
