THE TRIBUNE and COMMERCIAL. W. M. FRENCH. Editor. -?? ??? V. X, Frwcb, aid-Jail V. Wallace, PROPRIKTOIiS. BE U FORT, S. C., SEP. 20, 1877. l. _ r SUBSCRIPTIONS. Out Year, $i 00 six Moutht, 1 00 . ' ' Advrrtitrimnts will be luwrttil at tinrate of $1 30 per square, 10 Nonpareil lues, for the first insertion; subsequent Insertions by contract. We have repeatedly asserted that the time would come and was not far distant when the Rail Road connections from, the interior to the sea hoard would bo found inadequate to secure to any South em port already established a commercial supremacy to which wo arc entitled through the handling of our great staples and that in order to enable us to compete with the natural advantages even of the great port of New York that we must select a deep water exit for a direct foreign trade without which we would always be subsidiary to the markets of New York, Philadelphia, .or Baltimore. The Rail Road policies t hat have heretofore sought to build up the .city of Charleston have only contributed to the destruction of her trade and it is now being fully realized that if we arc to have a great Southern Sea Port that it must be upon a harbor capable of entertaining the large draught ships of the present maritie and that the harbor must be Port Royal. The shallow bars of Charlestc n may have done very well in former years of oldfogyisni and.may have been sufficient for all the needs of commerce so long as small vessels pertoruieu tne traae of the world but now that big ships and heavy tonnage are a necessity Charleston must give way to a port into which such ships may freight economically and enter and leave without the fear of stranding upon the bars regardless of whether private property deteriorates in the change and so long as the great public and commercial interests of the State are better subserved. This seems at last to be the view that is tak'mg hold of the business men of the interior and having the facilities of forming a Rail Road conuected with the magnificent harbor of Port Royal all e: es are turned towards this port as their natural outlet. Within the past week or ten days meeting after meeting .has been held in various parts o! the up country towns and counties beyond Augusta all in the interest of procuring a Rail Road connection with .Augusta theuce to Port Royal. The projected route from Greenwood on the Greeuville and Columbia Ra'l Road to Augusta is an accomplished fact. Work has been begun and its -completion is ensured. This we consider one of the most important connections for the benefit of Port Roy a' "which has ever been completed as it brings us i6 connection with one of the richest, most* populous and most productive sections of the State and brings that point nearly 100 miles nearer to the Sea coast than via Charleston. Its advantages are summed up by a writer in the Laurensville Herald las; week thus: 'The proposed Spartanburg aud Augusta Railroad will give us Markets of three competing Sea Ports. It will, at Augusta, give us a good grain and meat market, and we will tan a y great trunk Hue at Spartanburg runuiDg from the West to the North. Augusta has three Railroads running to the sea coast, competing with each other, viz: South Caioliua Railroad, to Charleston, Port Royal Road to Port Royal and the Central to Savannah. The Port Royal Railroad controls the tariffs of either of these roads running from the coast to Augu^a, for this route also runs from Augusta to Char'eston or Savannah via the Savannah and Charleston Railroads, connecting at Yeinassoe, and runs through cars to cither of these cities, it being a shorter line, by a few miles than by either the South Carolina or Central route." Gfov. Hampton anil the President. A dispatch to the News and Courier, from Louisville, Kv\, dated last Tuesday says: The reception of President Hayes in this city was the grandest demonstration ever seeu here. At the speechmaking last night, after Secretary Evarts had concluded, the President announced his pleasure at being ab'e to introduce to his fellow-people a man well known to all-Wade Haniptou, of South Carolina. Full five minutes elapsed before Governor Hampton could speak, so loud and long were the cheers given him. He said : Mr. President and my Friends of Ken lucky: 1 congratulate you upon this auspicious , eecasion and upon the magnitude of ? the reception which we have given to the President of the United States. There is no place in America where the thing eould have been better done, aud I am sure that there is no place in America where it has been bcttercone than in the City of Louisville. There is no place where it could be more appropriate because the#politieal opinion of a majori ty of the people of Kentucky are different from those of his Excellency. You have shown that you recognize in him a man that has done his duty-a man who has risen high enough to be able to say that l,he serves his party best that serves his country best/' for that is a sentiment which ought to find a response in the breast of every patriotic American. You have coine here to pay l.iui honor, aud I j ngard myself as extremely fortunate in that 1 "have l**en able to participate in it: and without disrespect to the gent'cmer who invited me to this reception, I mus say that I came chiefly that I might, foi I am a Southern man, extend a warn greeting to the President as he strucl ! Southern soil, as he stood on the one dark and bloody ground of Kentucky no longer so, but, as I trust in God, her and elsewhere, a laud of peace, prosper! ty and happiness, peace and prospent, which he has mostly given to.vou. My friends of liouisville, I thank yon in the uatuc of South Carolina, and will say to his Excellency that, if he wi do us the honor to visit us there, we wi give him a greeting as warm as thi: Though, perhaps, we can't show him a many men, we will show him that w have not forgotten that act of kindnc> and reconciliation and justice that h performed for South Caroliua. Gen. M. C. Butler has written a lett( in reference to the charge raised by th Charleston corresoondent of the Nev York Sun, that for*the sake of advancin his own interests the investigations of tlj committee in Columbia are to be brougl a close. Gen. Butler says: "T proceed to brand it by saying tha whosoever says, or intimates, or hint that I have advised the discontiouam of the said prosecutions is a liar, an whoeverbclbves it is a simpleton. Nov I think, the branding part has beeu done and for the publicity, I will have to d pend upon you. This letter to the Sun is written, as am informed, by a Radical ex?official < South Carolina, now living in Charlestoi who got his position by treachery, sus taincd himself while there by duplicity and having been ousted on account < his imbecility and venality, now seeks! make a living by lying and slander. Tf letter which you enclosed is a specime of his capacity in that line. It is bad enough to be villificd ar traduced by Radical political trader , but when one who has tried to do tl best he could for the State and the rcstc ration of good government, and wh feels that while he docs not pretend i have been entirely unselfish, yet he mac some personal sacrifices for the publ good, has to be subjected to the suspit ion of his friends, who ought to kno that such statements are false, it is soiui what discouragii)g." The Fever In Femnnilina. The news from Fernandiua, says th Savannah News, is distressing in the e: treme. The alarming increase in tt number of new cases reported indicate that the fever has passed the boun< within which it has hitherto been confii ? ? < i - i i_ ea, an i aas assumed me uumistaKao character of an epidemic. Private lette reveal a very sad condition of affairs the pkgue-stricken city. Entire faniili are smitten with the fever, help is scan and difficult to obtain, and mut suffering is necessarily the rcsul There was in Fernandina, when the fev< first made its appearance, a populutio of twenty-five hundred persons, compri ing eleven hundred whites and fourtcc hundred .colored. Comparatively few ( the latter class have left *he city, sine it is a well known that, as a general rul negroes are exempt from this disease It may be stated that one-half of tli white citizens have found homes el* where withiu the past fortnight. If be true that there were eighty cases i reported, then one-sixth of the remaii ing white population is now prostrate which fact will convey a startliug idea < the prevalence of the disease. The City Couucil of Columbia h: extended an invitation to Presideut Hay* to visit that city. If he accepts, an Gov. Hampton thinks he will, it is pr< posed to assemble together at Columbl a few thousand red-shirted riders, and I give his Excellcucy a weltome such i has never been accorded him elsewheri ana such as lie deserves at the hands < the people of this State. The address of the Democratic Staf Executive Committee of Mississipj states that since that party came mt power there tax~s have been reduced on half in the St::te and county administn tion, and there has been a correspondin reduction in expenditures, while at tli same time the efficiency of every branc of the public service has been improves As an evidenee of the era of good fee ing now prevailing it is stated that" flolmes county, where Mr. Tilden rcceiv ed fifteen hundred majority, the Dcuk crats have headed their ticket with colored man for the Legislature. The Commissioners of the Frcedmcn' Bank have in the Treasury of the Unite States $300,000, enough to pay a dividen to depositors of ten per ccut. but the lai only allows them to declare a divider when they are able to pay twenty pe cent They are now contemplating. th payment of the ten per cent notwithstani ing the law, and say if the governmen could be induced to purchase thei banking hdVise in Washington they couj pay twenty five per cent. The buildin is now occupied by the Department c Justice at a high rental and it is though that it the depositors would exert then selves the sale could be effected. The hope to be able to make the dividend to depositors reach sixty per cent, o even more if they can dispose of othc real estate held by them at anythiug lik a fair price. 4^4 Judge Carpenter has returned and ex peets to be appointed United State District Attorney. He says Stone wil i never return as lie thinks the peDitentiar; would swallow him up if he did. i It is now stated that Chamberlaii purchased those famous letters tha Elliott brandished in the last Rcpublicar convention for five thousand dollars. Georgia will vote on the adoption o the new Constitution on the first Mon day in December, and in the meanwhile the l ..vspapers arc discussing the loea tion or the capital; Atlanta an 1 Milledge villc have each their advocates. / f ' , ) 4 i | Nine of the parties implicated in the ; 1 burning of the Wbherspooii mansion at 1 Chesterfield have received sentences as r follows: four for life, three for thirty 1 years, and two for twenty years. Two c are still at large. , The sudden death of William Hope Hull 0 of Augusta, Ga., occurred in New York i-1 on Thursday the 13th. An inquest was y | held and a verdict was rendered that he j died of Bright* s disease of the kidneys i. | and fatty degeneration of the heart. 1 He was fifty-nine years of age one of the il | most prominent lawyers of the State, 11 and attorney for the Georgia Railroad >. and Banking Company. is ;?. r . e The Fisheries Commission, sitting at ;s Halifax, has decided against the Cann0 dian claim for compensation for the privilege of buying bait, ice, aud suj ;r plies, accorded to United States fisherc uicn by the treaty; a somewhat absurd S' claim when the supplies are all paid for. g This was one of the principal claims of ^ the Dominion. it ... . . i .. i . i n J A dispatch from Calcutta, aatcu oept. 9th, represents the prospects in regard ^ to the famine in India as more cncour" ,e aging. Heavy rains have fallen in Mad dras, and there has also been rain iu Bent gal, Scinde, Mysore and the Central provinces. ^ j Every family that desires to keep postjf ed as to the important events that are i, transpiring in the musical"world, should regularly read some good musical magazine, and for Southern readers, there can :o be nothing more interesting or valuable ic than the Southern Musical Journal, 1,1 published at Luddeu Bates' Southern ^ Music House, Savannah, Ga. The s September number just out, completes le the sixth Volume, and is full of choice >- music and musical reading matter. A three cent stamp will secure a specimen le C<W containing a dollars' worth of ic music. j w A prize of $200 will be awarded to the best drilled infantry company at the State Fair in Columbia, and $100 for the second best company. Prizes of $100 each ic will also be awarded to the best drilled k- cavalry and artiilery companies. ,e > ; lg The refugees from justice in South Carolina, who have been hanging around Washington are very much depressed at le the revelations made by Parker and it is now stated shat if Gov. Hampton jn makes a requisition for them it will be es honored. Even Patterson is not so con,c fident that he will be able to shield hi m self behind the privi Igesof a Senator. ^ The "Dismal Swamp" which has gen crally been regarded as a living tomb. and which has been shunned, is now de s ' clared to be the healthiest place in the wide world. Not a death has been known >e to occur there, although hundreds o* men spend their lives there in getting , out lumber. i # > ? ie Gov. Hampton told a correspondent in Chicago that Parker was in all the lt rings and could let out some hideous 1!s scerets if he chose. As for Chamberlain 1 the Governor said: "I can't say to what !(f extent Chamberlain realised on these ^ spoils, bnt he was connected, I know. with all the boards where the stealing jw was going on." Lawtonville, S. C., Sept. 14tb, 1877. Editor of the Tribune: y As you have recently heard little la directly from Lawtonville, perhaps wc M cannot better occupy the little leisure we l'v enjoy this morning than by devoting it to the preparation of a hurried communi}l cation for The Beaufort Tribune. Our communication will be necessarily e brief because the mail leaves at a com >j paritivcly early hour, and we enjoy our I .nsv..nCn<? tinn f/in 11 odl rl n. 1117 tn Ka orllilfv I t (UUIU|II? liaj/ tw vtvviuvwij w fewiivj v* B. the habit of early rising. Everything looks refreshed this morning; every man <r you meet has a smile on his countenance * and no particle of dust on his face. The i fact is we were favored with a very fine I rain yesterday afternoon, and the stifling ,j_ dust and oppressive heat (for the present n at least) are gone. Such has been the r_ contiuued ury, hot weather in this section, that the water courses were completely dried, and the poor stock were dependant for their necessary supply upon some stagnant pool in the adjacent s swamps. The farmers arc now busily d engaged picking, ginning and packing d cotton, and on some plantations fully onew half the crop is already housed. This d may sound strangely, but it is evident ,r that the cotton crop in this vicinity will e fall far sjort of the yields promised up I- to the middle of July. At that time the t prospect was decidedly flattering. Since ir then a succession of dry, hot weather has d operated to check the growth of the g plant, and this combined with rust (from >f which no field we have seen is free) has t deprived the little fruit put on in i- early August of the aliment neccssa ry to y mature properly. Many bolls are open* s ing prematurely, the fields are now white r and when this blow is gathered we apprer hend that little will be left for the next e "picking." But Lawtonville is not aslcen. The opening of several new stores at Staff? ord's cross I loads, and the exposure of s goods for sale at every available stand * on the 'various roads diverging from ^ this point, has given fresh impetus to the energies of our enterprising merchants C. H. Willcox Esqr. and Capt. t E. H. Peeplcs. These gentlemen with an accurate knowledge of the wants of the people have each opened a large stock of goods, containing a general assertf: ment of dry goods, groceries, faney goods, - notions, in short of general mcrchan; disc, at prices which defy competition, - and attract purchasers from every point - j of the compass A stranger passing through our little town on Saturday last * least already sniffed the scent of green- t backs for Monday's work. Bruin. j The News and Courier insists in s crediting extracts from this paper to the "Standard." Does it mean that all our information is Standard or does it ; merely use this epithet as one of oppro- i brium to remind us that there was once a paper here of that name under the Radical influence which we had to buy out in order to get rid of it? We will thank you, Messrs Editors, to call us by our right name and not con- c found us with the late Organ that made ( such raids on the State Treasury for , suppositious printing. We do use part of the same type once used by the Stan- 1 dard, but the Devil himself knows the . difference in our politics. The first bale of new crop of Sea Island cotton was sold in Charleston last week for 25 cents per pound. It was from Florida.

From early ^ morning until some time after night the entire street was literally covered with every variety of vehicle; from the rickety ox cart, to the four horse wagon, d: beasts fat and lean, were hitched with p bridle and rope to every spare panel# of " the fencing between the two stores, and j{ I one old ox lean and lank chewed fast w , the cud of better fancies as he | made occasional frantic but futile efforts S) to reach a dilapidated bundle of fodder f just beyond the limit of his grape vine v tether.
