The Yellow Fever.
The fever in Memphis continues to
prevail to about the same extent as we
reported in our last issue?ranging'from
tweuty to thirty new cases daily. The
spread of the disease is principally
among the negroes. The city is almost
completely isolated from communication
with the outside world now, except by
telegraph.
JInrt Clary.
The Beaufort (irrscmt, says.
Wo can never again expect to have another
Hampton. Perhaps Gary wouM
come next, to him in arousing a universal
gusli. Unfortunately his imliviiluality has
ma le liim an Eagle. hut for ilaws to peck
at. He who is next heir to supreme power.
says Tacitus, is always hated hy those
who actually wield it. Wary nas uwiuv i.<>
many others great for himself to share
greatness with them.
Tt does us real, genuine, whole-souled
good when we read anything laudatory
of this noble old hero. Mart. (lary is
a trump. IIo has never been in any
emergency that required the exercise of
great power, but what his cool nerve,
his brilliant genius and his true manhood
showed themselves. Too much
good cannot be said of him. Paws
may peck at him, but the grand old
JCaglo will yet soar higher and higher,
and he will ever live in the hearts of
the people of South Carolina as one who
never knew what it was to be absent
wheu she called the roll of her sons for
duty.
The Waleree Ilrldgp Again.
At the risk of being blown up with
nitroglycerine, or tomahawked, we again
venture upou the absorbing subject of
the Free Bridge. The object of this
discussion originally, as it is now, was
not to make any reflections upon any
one. but (o draw out what light wc
could upon a matter which for a long
timo had been a vexed question with
our people. If we criticised harshly
the official conduct of anyone, we claim
that wc had the right to do so, provided
wc fortified this criticism with the
. ".mnrnble nillars of truth, aod this we
r
have done, and it is what we propose to
continue to do?the assertions of other
parties to the contrary notwithstanding
Occupying, as wo do. the position of
public servant?, and being so often
asked about this structure?what was
its s'atus, what were we to look for,
and when would it ever be paid for?
we would have been quite recreant to
. the duty of a newspaper, receiving
public /patronage, if our lips were
pealed and 6ur pen quiet. We have
^^v^^j^^herefore fr-y f..
-which we SaTTnot be turncd/amT^^
p;esenc sometfacts now which from time
t t
to time wiil be followed with others
equally interesting, and if wc fail in
throwing open to the public exactly
how all things stand in this matter, then
it will be because our honest efforts have
been thwarted and not because we
have failed to do our best.
First. Wc know that the act of the
Legislature authorized the construction
of this bridge, and empowered the commissioners
to raise ?20,000 to erect the
6amc. Now wc know further, that
$20 810.15 has already been collected
(this is the amount reported by the
treasurer in his statement to the clerk
of thi> court as correct) from the taxpayers
of this county and paid over to
the treasurer of ti.e bridge commission,
and it is but right and proper that we
should know exactly what rcmaiuicg
balance is still due. Where the impropriety
? Again, it is equally proper
that we should know exactly what
bonds, notes, etc., are outstanding; and
- r;p
even further man mat?iu MiUn, ..
note* arc out. what rate of interest they
are drawing. If we stand still and do*
(hiDg is suiji or done, how much longer
would the good people of this county
be taxed for this already overpaid
bridge? It is entirely legitimate that
the taxpayers should at-k these ques*
tionF, and it is equally the duty of the
custodial of her funds to answer. No
hypothetical answer will do. Facts
aud tigures aro what we desire, and
what we must have.
in the lversnaw wmfc: w i^i.
appeared an article which accused us of
ruany misstatements, but docs not produce
any evidence, other than Mr.
Shannon's mere sey so, to prove that
they arc false.
lie asserts that our report of the
financial condition of the commission
is entirely incorrect. Wc can only say
that the figures arc a correct copy of
the statement filed by the treasurer in
the clerk's office as a true and correct
statement of the commission.
lie has said that not a bond has been
sold. If this is true, how is it that wc
pee in the treasurer's statement where
interest is being paid upon numerous
bonds that arc held by different people?
Por instance, we sec where on July 10,
1379, Baum Bros, themselves drew $20
interest on bonds Xo, 27, 33 and 41.
Do tbev pay interest on bonds given as
collateral, as well as paying interest on
the money borrowed ou tbcui ? If so, it
i3 a queer proceeding, and ought to be
' presented by the grand jury at the next
term of court. Their "reckless" statements
may satisfy them, but they xvill
not satisfy the taxpayers,
They say thai the chairman attended
the first meeting of the commission with
the intention of resigning, and was prevented
from doing so because he found
that it would place the management of
the funds of the commission in the
bands of irresponsible radicals. The
; act itself renders such a thing practii
cally impossshlc, for it expressly provides
that in case of the death, rcsigr.ai
tion or refusal to serve of any member
:of the special commission, the vacancy
; should be filled from among twenty of
| tbo highest taxpayers in tho county.
I This would necessarily cause a good
man to be selected, for there was no
! radical in the county who paid much
! more than his poll tax.
We would like to ask a few questinns
Tiruin trhinli enmj r>vnhitvifion is
j desired :
j The statement of the special commission
as filed with the Clerk of the
i Court, contains, among other items, the
following: March G, 1874, Baum Bros,
i account for hands in full to date,
i -SljlSO 50; interest on same, 850. Are
; we to infer that this interest is paid
j on un open account? The county is
not going on a lien business that it
i should thus be charged with what it
! ought not to pay. Again, What right
j or authority did the commission have to
; pay out 8500 to a man just to look over
; and "superintend the construction of the
j bridge when they had contracted with
j a consptent enginoer to do the work ?
It was our desire in this issue to ro
{ fer at length to the management of the
{financial affairs of the Bridge Comtnis*
! sion, hot we could not obtain the ne|
ccssary documents until it was too late
j for this issue. They will be taken up
hereafter, however, and the public furnished
all the information that it is possible
for us to obtain on the subject.

Sib : Your pettifogging letter, ad!
dressed to me through the columns of
j last week's Gar.ette, wearying the pa:
tience and distracting the attcution of
the public from tbc main points at issue,
by a farrago of irrelevant trifles
and quibbles, was evidently intended to
muddle, rather than to clear up, the
darkness and obscurity with which the
bridge affairs are enveloped. Few will
read it, and perhaps none will understand
it. I should not deem it worth
my atteution or notice, but for the anxiety
you evince to iosult me and asperso
my character. Among a great many
other things you say: "In your editorial
there is not a paragraph that has
not in it a perversion, a siKjycstio falsi,
or sitpj)vrs$;o rcri?a quibble worthy of
your nature and your cultivation."
"Your tortuous course through the
courts ibr the past two orv tliree

be a "follower of the Lamb." It is dc|

you might more secretly take unwarrantable

But I return to the points I have re
cited from your letter. It paipB cie to
j say anything rude to a gentleman of

fain instil; and doubly false in the spirit
of despicable malice by which they
have been prompted. Again, I reiterate
it, it pains me exceedingly to use
language so rado to one of your age.
But while I regret the necessity, I congratulate
myself with the reflection that
I the gentleman who has thus constrained
j me to disregard the reverence due to
jago ha? forced this personal issue upon
! nie, despite every effort gpon my part to
I avoid it. I will not be misconstrued
jifl decline to imitate your%gasconading
subscription, ''Yours to command."
Yours to command how ? Oh, sir, how
much more becoming to one of your
y?ars would have been a little of that
modesty which you have ventured to
claim, without exhibiting a trace of it
in your note or your conduct. With
you, sir, I shall not attempt to reason.
You are incapable of it; aud now, sir, I
commit you to that Coventry with which
! I would ouo who has perverted truth,
j falsified facts and evaded issues.

I your inclination leads you to bespatter
me further, and your taste and breeding
permit it, tako carte blanche aud

Mrs. Dorsey's brother, in a conversation
regarding her devise to Jefferson
Davis, said that if he possessed the
spirit of Wade Hampton, he would tear
the will up and let the property go to
her lawful heirs. This is an allusion to
n oirenmstanco connected with Sena
tor Hampton's father. The first Wade
Hampton, desiring to observe the law |
of primogeniture, left his fortune to
his son Wade, (father of the Senator)
and making little or no provision for
his daughters. Colonel Hampton toro
the will up, thus allowing all the other
children to share equally with him.
Mr Havis does not seethe matterir. that
light, and he will hold on, especially as
Mrs. Dorsey's relatives aro accusing
him of hcing too intimate with her and
exercising undue influence. For his
reputation he has to fight the matter
through.

The weeks pass so rapidly that I can
hardly realize that to.day is my day for
the Journal lleally things are so
exceedingly quiet here that I am nfraid
tiy letters may be only a repetition of
each other.
It is that quiet season now, just in
advance of the gathering of the crop,
when we all havo nothing much to do,
save to lay down in the August ehade,
dream of the day when we shall carry
nni- r?r?ftnn tn mnrlrpt find eat corn once
more from our own fields. I have not
for a long while seen the pepplc over
here in such fine spirits about their cotton
crops. They are really fine, and if
the prices keep up, wo can "pay out"
and have a little left. Corn is not so
good, and wo may have to call upon our
friends on tho river to help us out.
Religious meetings, among both white

I must conscientiously affirm
that in my humble judgement such fits
of excitement are not permanent, and
Generally end in no good. Crops are
neglected frequently,health injured,etc.,
and all ending generally for the good of
no one'
I havo read wiih deep interest your
article on the bridge; also the reply of
Colonel Shannon. I am afraid, how.
ever, to say what I think. The people
seem generally to bo with you, and for
the life of them they cannot see any
impropriety in asking the status of the
bridge. Don't be frightened off.

Mr7Kditoti : 1 am quite surprised
to see the turn 'that the diicussion of
the Watcrco Bridge has taken, and I
think it is time to stop fuss;ng and fuming
regarding this subject and keep all
parties down to facts. Don't let them
evade or dodge the main issues.
We (the taxpayers) are with you,
Mr. Fditor, and don't want to see any
fighting about this matter. Did the
Commission do proper in retaining LaSallc
in their employ after they found
him incompetent from drink, See. ? Did
they do the?r duty to the coanty i? roIcciving
this miserable structure from
him and his bondsmen and allow them
to go ''scot free" and thus raddle this
"eyesore" and burden upon the county ?
Did they do right to pay our friend, j
Capt. Villepiguc, 8500 to overlook the'
builder pent by the South Carolina Railroad
Company, when said builder was
considered a competent workman and
our friend had no experience whatever
in bridge building, tl us taking
said amount from the already overburdened
taxpayers ? Now, Mr. Editor, I
am of the opinion that it is in bad taste
to drop the main questions in this matter
$nd go i?to other subjects of but
little interest to the public. This old
elephant, afflicted with all manner of
diseases, and built of inferior material
until it was so decayed as to allow a
Qnc mule belonging to Mr. Gettys to
drop through the bottom of his dilapidated
frame, and that too, before it was
turned over to the county, with all of
his joints out of place and sloughing tho
sap from his ribs, dropping off so much
that he is past all hop* of cure from
any source whatever. Gentlemen of the
Commission, all that wu taxpayers want
is for yea to chow that all is right, and

until this is done, you cannot satisfy

Mr. Editor : i wish to know something

issue doc6 no good. Let us know exactly
what the county owes, how many

this money. These are questions that

jBLply to J. R. M.
Messrs.^ditors : As your corres- j
pondent atHusscll Place has thought
proper to notice the few crude ideas I !
threw ouUkgon the no-fonco question, |
I ask spa|f,n your columns to pen a
few thougNj in reply. "The situation
in this couq,ry ooe hundred years ago
was quite different to what it is now."
The cause of this has not materially result
od^n the present system of fences,
out invai various oiner reKuuo, oum u.a
coDflictiD^ interest between the North
and So?th;A change lrom a controllable
labor system to an uncontrollable one;
from living at home to living abroad,
and from a variety of crops to almost
cotton alone. Remove these causes, as
far as it is practicable, and our country
would ngain abound with peace and
prosperity.
Qotton is not necessarily king in a
climate as well adapted to grain and
other crops as ours is. "The virgin
forests are no moro ; the old field pines
have takenTheir place," making about
five or six rail trees where one grew
before. "The labor of the country has
been changed from slave to frco labor."
The inefficient labor system, the improvement
science and the aid of
commercialjfertilizcrs have considerably
reduced the amount of acreago necessary
for cultivation, thereby turning out
thousands of acres which in fifteen or
twenty years produce an abundance of
mil trims. "The caoital necessary to
employ laker is not owned by tho farmers
of South Carolina, hence, labor is
not controllable by the land owners."
Why not? fori am sure tho laborer
pays the interest on tho capital, and not
the land owners. If farmers would
learn to live at home, and ccnso going
info debt, the cupital would belong to
them, "fence or no fence."" Then why
urge that^|c fence law is productive of
all these evils ? Why not place it upon
its proper basis ? "We change our
com cribs and smoke houses from the
farm to BaTtimore and elsewhere, because
wc cannot fence our own stock in,
and other people's out." Wc think
that this laHer clause is Apt the cause
of the former, but that tins change has
for its cause several reasons. First, the
effects of the late war; second our increased
desire to remunerate the losses
mado by the rebellion; third, the planting
of cotton to tho exclusion of grain
crops, gi%s8es, Sic.

Again, who helped to redeem South
Carolina from tho awful condition into
which she was forced. All this is forgotten
while in pursuit of self ugraudizement.
It would be a condition too
sad for a moment's contemplation. Our
calculations were intended for the majority
of farmers in Kershaw county,
and not for the peculiar, isolated locali'y
in which your correspondent resides
However, if a change bo necessary for
the farmers convenient to Russell Place,
we have no objection, provided they
make it at their own expense; and if a
change is badly needed. They will certainly
make it.' Every city, for its
better protection, builds its owd walls.
We nave as mucn law upon tne no
fence as we desire.
Wo acknowledge an error in the cost
of putting up the rails. It was an over
sight on our part. However, we arc
glad that it is in our favor. We propose
giving what wo think an average
estimate of the cost of the fencing in
Kershaw county. Ono hundred acres
can bo tenced with 1,112 panels,
or I1,12Q rails. At 50 cents a hundred,
they will cost $55 60 for cutting
and splitting. A two-horse team will
average 15 loads per day on the majority
of farms. Fifteen times 40 rails is
600 rails per day. Six hundred into
11.120 is joj. the number of days reouired
for hauling. A wagon and two
I ?.#
horses are not worth more than. $2 per
day. Two hands cost 60 cents, which
give us a cost of S2 CO a day for hauling
Then 18* times S2.G0 is $48.10. A
hand can put up the rails in 11 days at
a cost of $3 30. Total amount of cxjfthse,
Average expense per
year, 817 66 2-3. Any farmer who
gives cattle any attention, can sell beef
and butter enough to keep his fences
repaired. Cross fences are not included
in the above calculation
Wo do not propose to pay out the
moneji to build our fences. It will cost
us nothing but our labor, and that too in
a time during which wo would do fbut
little else. It may be said that wo do
uot allow enough for hands. The majority
are working for six dollars, or
perhaps less. They got 10 pounds of
hacon and one bushel of corn per month, i
at a cost of $2. Total amount of hire;
and board is ss, wnicn auiounrs 10
about 30 cents per day. The advooates
af the "no-fence" urge that it would be
cheaper to hire a stock minder who
would cost $S per month, or $9G per
year, to mind a $100 worth of stock
that yield tho poor farmer a profit of
?10. What do you think of this for
monomy ? Wo would like to say more,
cut enough, unless it were better.
