Yellow Fever in Memphis. j ]
The latest advices from Memphis JI
show that the few cases of yellow fever JI
reported there have cither died or re- is
covered, and that no new cases have ap- l
peared for thhe past few days. The i
excitement occasioned at first has prad- i
uaily aubsided, and the quarantine re- <
stricticns against the city ore being sus- j <
ponded at all points. Business has re- 1
aumed its usual condition, and every- :!
thing looks favorable. This is truly li
good news. !<

"We have been much edified by, and |,
would call the attention of our readers jj
to, a recent sprc<h in the Inited State* . <
Senate by Mr. Voorhees, of Indiana, ;
replying to Mr. Blain", of Maine, well !
known l'or his blind and malignant at* i

and on every issue. These two Sena- <
tors may be accepted as fair and full j i
representatives of the extreme of North- j
ern sentiment on the present status and L
future possibilities of the Southern re- n
presentation in Congress. "The Confederate
Brigadiers" arc snceringly ,
held up by tho class of men to wh:ch |
Mr. Blaioe belongs as an indication of i
a fell determination on the part of the j
South once more, when opportunity of- !
era, of asserting herself in rebellion, j:
an t their being then* a first st p in that ;
direction. Thus speaks Mr Cockling. of j
X-w York, wlv-pulls at th? same oar '
with Mr. B'aine, dwelling ipon thin j
enormity. "The eh v< n States who j
were disloyal send ninpty-three senators j

states facts with which we are all fnrail- ,
iar. South Carolina, he says, is the land i
of chivalric men; the land of the Ma- 1
rions, the Sumters, the Hamptons, tho j
Butlers. There he shows that James
L. Orr. once a Confederate Senator,
was called from lb* field to the forum,
highly honored and trusted in both po?
siticus, and gave to Grant the help he <
Deeded "when he pressed us most, and 1
was rewarded by the mission to Russia,
one of the four first cla?s missioos in
tho gift of the Government. Colonel ]

Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi all
furnished Confederate soldiers who by
ipostasy won plane and fortune. He
louies to Louisiana and closes with
Gen. James Longstreet as a crowning
picture." Who was Longstreet ? I have
heard one who commanded a corps in
the Wilderness speak of that dreadful
diock of battle when his corps encountered
that of Longstreet, and the blood
ran in rivulets, and say no braver, harder
fighter ever drew a sword or encounter-.
3d en enemy than Longstreet, He was
educated at West Point as a soldier by
his government, and he cost it more
lives than any other one man?that commanded
no more than a corps? in the
Confederate army. Who was Longstreet?at
Gettysburg and Antietam ?
A.n educated American soldier fighting
with desperate courage to establish an
ndepeudent government. Yet nothing
>tood between bim and civil preferment
is soon as he was willing to turn his
hack again upon his old comrades
ivho had shared with him the bloody
;harge, the niirhtly bivouac, and the
iverwhelming disaster that fell upon
them at its close. And am I to sit still
in my Pent and hear hourly reproaches
from the mouths of men who
corlirmed .Tames Longstrect to civil olGce
because this side of the chamber is
composed in part of tho3<? who were in
the same coutcst by his side ? No, Sir I
I do not propose to do it." And, indeed,
he does not do it. for Mr. Voor
bees, in his speech, shows up in langui.ge
too plain to be misunderstood
the utter fal-cn'-ss and malice of these
m*n. and fully proves that the much
abus-d 1 Con federate brigadier" in ConL're*s
is si.nply a r>re instance of that
much-to-be desired individual, "the
right man in the right place."
Another Insurance Outrage.
ISodjo four months ago a citizen of
this place died, aod the notice of said
death was regularly forwarded to the
Piedmont and Arlington Insurance Co.
The ninety dnys usual in such eases was
claimed, and, of .course, &s it was hoth
legal and ju*t, no objection was raised
to it. During this niD?-ty days, howev.r,
we find the Company busy in hunting
up some pretext upon which they can
base a refusal to pay, or something
else by which they can off- ct a compromise.
In other words, doing their all
to evade tn honorable and binding contract.
jNow we think it but proper
that all corporations or bodies should

which any of their rights could escape;
but this is not so in the present case, nod
it js on this account that wc enter our
honest demurrer. Let us sec. A person
dies^tt^on the 1 st.v of J\J-w.b
i^liose insurance has lasted for over ten
yonrs, and who has paid his premiums
regularly, and they now find after his
death that lie was a drunkard, and, as a
consequence, is not entitled to his full
premium. One of thearticlee of the poiiov
reads in these words exactly: "This
Policy is incontestable after three years
from its date, for, or on account of errors.
omissions or misstatements on the
application except as to age." Now, if
this is not clear, we must confess that wo
arc muddled ourselves. Upon what
earthly ground now caD thoj refuse the
payment of this policy, we cctmot s^c,
and we rrgrot to have to say one uukind
word against a Company which heretofore
hus stood well in our community.
It is a fatal wrong and mistake <>q the
part of the " Piedmont," not only injuring
thetnselvi s by engendering distrust
among till ciassas who are insured
with th< m, but only ill?>stratiri2 a charge,

Tlio WatiToe Bridge,
Messrs. Editors: I understand that
out county comndssiotitrrs a>e ashamed
if the Watcreo bridge, and well might
somebody be ashamed. The county is
raxed heavily, and persons crossing
have to pay toll, all fur the purpose of
keeping this bridge in repair. Notwithstanding
this double tax, and the
fact that the bridge has been recently
worked on, I do not hesitate to say that
the nresent condition of this ''white
elephant," as it is often termed, is ?x
ecediugly precarious. The pieces that
connect the arches arc dow falling, and
some are hanging by a very brittle tenure
They are quite luavy, and if by
chance they should strike cither man
or beast, it would be an end of th -m.
In addition to this, the flooring is quite
rotten in many places, and in other
places the planks fail to reach within
several feet of the edge. I trust that
our county commissioners will at once
remedy these defects. If they do not
there will be more lise insurance cases
to be udjusted. or suits brought against
the county. lerOum saj'.

As I sat in my quiet cabin door on
Sunday evening I heard the low, dis?

I had heard the delightful sound, that

May it only be the commencement of

I was a little roughly handled a day
or two ago for my comments upon the
conduct of some of the gentlemen who
were at the Pine Grove picnic, but I
only told the truth, and meant no
disrespect to the good people who originated

There is ro doubt about some of them
ac'ing badly, and the sharp lash of criticism
at least should be applied to them.
I moan to do it every time.
I was pleased to see in your last that
you were firiug at the insurance companies.
Give it to them. Thoy deserve
it, and I trust your pen will not

insurance and phosphates havo done as
much to break this country as anything
else. Let alone your no f nee talk and
shoot at something that has bankrupted
and ruined us.
In my next I tru9t that the old garments

indeed were these reports In fact,
these Granges have never hcen in h

reports consumed the morning session,

Several subjects pertaining to the

A True FIsli Story.
West Wateree, July 14, 1879.
Messrs. Editors : As the fish mania
has spread wiiTi groat rapidity re
cently, owing doubtless to tnc neavy
drought, your correspondent, in com
pany with Mr. J. N. Jones and a number
of others, feeling greatly encouraged
at their previous success, eallied
out on Saturday morning last to ven
tare ttpon another sein. We reached
the lake? on Mr. W. C. Moody's place
in good "fish time," and commenced
our finny operations. I trust that you
will not consider this as what is commonly
called a "fish lie." for I am only
stating facts. Well," in order to be
brief, I wtll state that we caught twelve
hundred of the water tribe of all sizes,
from one ounce to twenty pounds, consisting
of trout, mod, cat, bream, jack.
&c. In reality, I might ssy thai* we
bagged some of every kind known, except,
whale and sword 5sh. It was a

we have seun; Wo left sati-fi-n with

around the land they plant, and if a
niao has not the timber to fence a small
farm, of course lie has not enough to
fence a pasture. Many families in this
county nr.; dependent upon their stock
for auppoit, and if you take thcui away
it would cause uiuch suffering. I am
living in a thickly settled neighbor,
hood, and wo all own more or less catile;
and wo are g.Miner along very
well. We have trend tenc-s i.round our
eultivafid hind ; hut iiinko us keep our
stoyk o.i our own pasture land, and
they would soon starve to death. By
going at large they are able to live, and
yet do no harm to any one. We are
tot like the man wno owns a large
tract of woudlaud, and does not want
his neighbors' cattle to cat the grass
that (Jod has caused to grow there. I
was riding wuh a man not long after
the war, on some of his pandhilis, and
wi came across a drove of'cattle. Ho
asked ido if I knew who they belonged
to, and I told him they were the propci
ty of ft widow iady. EJe said the
crass that grew oil those sandhills was
his, and it was not right for other pro*
pie's stoc k to f.-ed on it. So you see
lit* begrudged the cattle eating the
sandliill grass that did uot cost him
