That dreadful scourge, yellow fever, is once more among us, or if not iu our i immediate town it is having a dreadful j harvest in the neighboring ci'y of Port i Royal, only four miles trorn us. This fever which is at last confessed to be of the yellow fever type first appeared about three weeks ago aud carried of three victims without creating any alarm although their sickness was of but about t'iree days duration. Afterwards when tuany others contracted the disease, the ilarm was sounded that it was what was feared, and a consultation of physicians called. Dr. Stuart, Dr. Gibbs, Dr. Battle of the Navy and Dr. Ford of Augusta luet in Port Royal and examined several cases but only one, Dr. Gibbs, was certain the patients were sufferiug from yellow fever, and the rej>ort was then sent abroad that the disease was but an aggravated form of biliious-fever. Yesterday morning the matter was fn ally settled when Dr. Stuart reported that Frita Ilolleugher had died the prcviaus evening of yellow fever with black vomit, iDd mat lour otncrs unuouoiuujy liad yellow fever. Savauuah was the * first to responded for calls for aid and sent down three colored nurses under the care of Dr. Sheftall. A subscription was started in Beaufort and in a short time $100 was raised and forwarded. The only case iu Beaufort is one of a man named Stern, a clerk for Mrs. Apple who has been living for some time past iu Mrs. Apple's store in Port Royal and who came up last Sunday. He was frightened and walked all the way iu the night which of itself was euough to make him sick and he was taken down next day. This is the only case of fever iu Beaufort at present, there being a remarkable absence of the usual- bilious fevers so prevalent generally at this season, and the physicians do not fear any visitation of the scourge. In the meantime everything that can be done has been doue by our toan authorities fr) prevent disease. The town is remarkably clean disinfectants have been freely distributed, the stores are ordered closed at 6 p. m. and watchmen stationed around town to prevent communication with Port Royal ^herc has not been sufficient precaution, taken to koop persona out of town for the past arkn viuitw] PnH ttni'ji) dailv On business, but now all persons from there are rigidly refused entrance, and au escape so far can be contributed only to tbe natural healthfulncss of our town. The close proximity of the fever has iuduced many of our citizens who can leave to absent themselves for a short time, and the trains t day and tomorrow will carry them to localities where yellow fever is nc t known, and where its presence is not feared. A dispatch from Jacksonville dated yesterday, says that the heavy and oontinuous rains last week have been extremely hard on the sick in Fernaudiua. Dr. Starbuck states that the city is in a more deplorable condition than at any time since tbe epidemic commenced. It was raining all day, there was scarcely a white person on the streets, and it was impossible to get any reliable information regard iug the sick. Most of the physicians are sick, Dr. Martin being the only one able to do full practice. Dr. beddings, president of the Medical Society of South Carolinalias offered his services, If they think it necessary to call hiui. A later dispatch sivs"that there were no deaths, but a'x new cases, three whites and three colored. OFFICIAL PLUNDER. It seems almost superfluous to say that the most alarming symptom of corruption under the form of Goveenment with which this country should be blest, in every sense, has been the unblushinS venality to be traced in so many official quarters. This is an evil which increased upon us so rapidly that where a case of conscientious discharge of duty occurred, it positively became a matter of especial romark by honest people and a general elamor and ontcry by the rogues. Not. indeed, that offices were generally filled by men who commenced with thoroughgoing rascality; but one used to hear upon the street such remarks as these:V4,That place has a regular salarjv of #3,000- per annum, but lie can make L $l0,000*ont of it." Again:-4'So-and-so is worth jfc200pXX)r and when he took that office, two years ago, at i&5,000, he 1? -l-'t ? " lTi\na^ failinrr Tiinn f,f Il'lUd 1 U 1?V/UV0V) uavu V industry, raicnt, frugality, and'clf-dcnial, heard these things with amazement* and aversion at first, but, finding them dbtitiuually repeated amid the smiles and not 4f the frowns of the by-stauders, who were as likely to be men of note as any others, grow-fasailiar with the thought, aud at last, insensibly lost tlavt keens delicate sense of rectitude that should have been ahoir second nature. Others commenced with ripened knavery, and, finding littie restraint either in public conscience or if; *!ie banters which law imposed,- were . ; ; ?'! \ ii.il ???. ?V. ?h .v v.-j?h ???? -"'Has 1 s tow : -A isiazemenf at the mountains of debt?State, muni-,' cipal ami corporate-^pilcd up within the ; : last decade* large portions of the avails i t f which were stolen by those who had < the handling of the funds. Tbe wonder i uow is, first* how We could ever have i permitted snch a state of things to oc?ur; > and se tond, how wo shall ever become* extriewted from the bad. Doubtless it is easier to answer the first of these ques- * tions than the second; but one tiling is certain, we shall never get out of the trouble unless we stop its cause. Public and official thieving must cease. EX-SENATOR SAWYER I* JUL.. In the case of the United States vs. ex-Senator and ex-Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Sawyer tried in Washington last Saturday the jury rendered a verdict of guilty, and he was sent to jail. The defence made many exceptions, which will be hc;Trd at the general term. The convict will be retained in jail there until the exceptions are heard and the case finally disposed of. He is convicted on the couut of conspiracy to pass a fraudul cut claim on which $57,000 was paid to Koddy. The unfortunate Sawyer, then secretary, only received $1,000 of the plunder. The penalty is not less than one year's iwpriso iment at hard labor and a fine not less than $1,000. The jury made an exceptional recommendation for mercy in favor of Sawyer, who it was not proved had received any share. This is the famous Parkman, Brook & Co's. cotton claim of Memphis. In the course of a recent interview with a member of Congress the President remarked that from what he had seen during his late trip to the South, he believed that the whites of that-section were really anxious to accord to the colored people their full civil and political rights, and that his trip had strengthened him in the conviction that his Southern policy would redound greatly to the interest of the blacks, in whose welfare he had always telt, and should continue to feel the deepest interest. In the meanwhile, notwithstanding ' Senator Conkling's opposition, a large mass meeting has been called by promi- . nent New York Republicans at Cooper , Institute on October 10th for the purpose of declaring their unabated faith and j confidence in the integrity, ability and patriotism of President Hayes, their . souse of the wisdom aud justice of the j aims aud purposes of his Administration, ; and their belief and joy that the country is beginniug to realize and will sooi. fully reap the blessings ot domestic quiet and happy concord in and between all the States, which a universal love of ' the Uniou aud respect for the Constitu- 1 tiou as now established are sure to produce; of restored confidence and abundant labor in all departments of industry and commerce, and of a sound and permanent prosperity, which shall bring plenty and happiness to all the people. Judge Noah Davis presided, and letters were 1 read from many premineut Republicans signifying their intentiou of being present. George W. Curtis, Jos. H. Choate and Geu. Dix were invited to address the mass meeting. President MacMabon has undertaken to dragoon the French nation into submission to his imperial authority. lie has at length issued his manifesto, in which he assumes to dicta e to the people how they shall vote at the coming - 1.1 . /? .1 1 * 1 election, ana4oat 11 tney ao not cuoosc to elect to the Chamber of Deputies such men as he shall select, he will pursue his own course with the support of the SoDate. He speaks of the dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies as if it were the first act iu a course designed to re-establish despotic authority, and claims for himself such power and authority as. the cation never eu'.rusted to him. > o? Continued Brightening Prospects. Our exchaoges still assure us of increasing trade and bettor prospects in almost even' direction. The bountiful harvest, and fair if not high, prices obtained for our various products are apparently sure grounds of confidence if we do not ourselves ruin everything by ill a lvisod legislation. The New l'ork Sud, discussing the busiuess prospects of the country says: "In estimating the business prospects of the fall season, it is important to keep in view the condition of affairs in the Western States, containing over onefViirrl nf fViA wlinle nriniikition of the country, and furnishing in money value a still higher ratio of the total national product. The value of the aggregate wheat crops of nine States?Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas, Michigan, Indiana, i 0'iio, Kentucky, and Tennessee?for the j ; year 1877, would, if sold in the country j | at ninety cents per bushel, cxcetMl by ! $66,400,000, the value of the wheat! crops of tlie same States for the y<jar 1S76; while other grains will be equally abundant in all these States. This enotmous crop is of itself the strongest guarrantcc of better times. The whole ? * ? * i i country will be benefited not oniy Dy a i reduced cost of th^ first necessaries of subsistence, but also by an increased de- j i maud for other commodities. Inasmuch as au ample grain crop usually carries with it a large pork crop, we have almost a certainty of an exceptionally large supply of the staple food products of the country. The agricultural West has : suffered much less from the influences ' associated with the panic thau the manJ ufacturiug and commercial group of j States. It has known comparatively I j iittlc of losses resulting from the shrink- 1 j age of manufacturing property, from the ( ' prostration of the iron industry, or from i ; the collaspe in the coal trade. It lias u been apjireeiahlv hurt fcv thw failure kt uewJy constructed mktada or the} Hie capital which covered the West with ; i net-work of iron roads citne mostly i froiu the Bust and from abroad. The j lisastcrs of the railroads have resulted in j some positive advantage to the West, ! through reduced transportation charges j and consequent increased profit* ou its j crops. While the Western pople buy; all Eastern commodities at greatly icdnc- j ed rates their own products have net fallen in auything like the same ratio. Indeed, the West is not only prtwpcrous, but in a situation that warrants our exacting from it a valuable fall and winter business. Its healthier condition diffuses a healing influence through the whole country, and, with its enormous crops, the benefits it confers upon other sections,'aud more especially .upon this city, the .great distributing ccuter and counting house of the country, will be more marked during the next twelve months than they have been at any time since the ciush of 1S73." A boiler iu the Charleston Mining and l'i UUUI at kUllil^ HVinoj uvwt v/ ?vw.VM, exploded last Thursday instantly killing one colored man and scalding two others' so severely that they died next day. Tho Treasury Department had upon the Union Pacific Railroad train recently attacked by robbers in Wyoming 300,000, ounces of silver bullion. This was, however, in large bars, and was so heavy that the robbers were unable to carry it with theui, and not an ounce was lost. This bullion had been purchased in Nevada, and was destined for the Philadelphia mint. While the wife of Mr. C. J. Langdon, was riding near Elmira, N. Y., with her child and nurse, a few days ago, the horses ran away, and were stopped by a colored man named John F. Lewis, who was rewarded by a present of Si,000 from Mr. Langdon, with a quit claim for a mortgage of $400 on his farm, dm to a gentleman who thought the deed worthy of a further reward, and smaller gifts from some other persons. Iu the Patent Office fire the most valu.' able relics lost were Eli Whitney's cot. ton giu and Robert Fulton's origina model of a steamboat. The original sewing machine was not destroyed, as supl?oscd. Some bystander, knowing its value, seized it before the flames reached v ?i ......l It, uuu was uutsicu iu iuc ui it off. The f lcrald asserts that if an election were to be held in Newberry two wecks hence, and the County Democratic C >n. mention, as now constituted, were to nominate candidates, those candidates would ccrtaiuly be beaten by an Independent ticket, so dissatisfied are many Democrats with the constitution of the Convention. * The elegant andjcostly steam fire engine is being doctored for ailments which seem to increase.in number as the intricate machinery is overhauledand brought to light. For some time it has been evideut that something was wrong wiih the machine &ud last week the Intendaut employed Mr. Whitman to make an examination to find out what was the matter. Mr. Gordan, the engineer was wroth at another inachiuist being set to work at the cngiue, claiming that he was fully.com pet cut but had asked in vain for . authority to overhaul it. The officers were also exercised over the Intcndant's action aod a lively discussion was the result. Iu the meantime the taxpayers who were obliged nolens volens to have their taxes expanded for several years to pay for the machine goxe inquiriugly on while the subject is talked over. The niuth annual fair of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society will be held at Columbia from the 13th to the 16th of November next, and promises to be an unusually interesting exhibit of the progress made in our State in held crops, stock raising and the mechanical arts. These terms, however, but faintly indicate the extent of the display and the incalculable amount of good which must accrue to the Staje under the stimulus of premiums offered for excellence in products of agricultural and other industries. For instance, sixty seven premiums are offered for the best samples of cotton, corn, wheat, potatoes, rice, tobacco, ramie, hay, hops etc, and other valuable inducements are held oat to "competitors iu briuging forward, lard, bacon, honey, green and dricdtfruits and native wifies; while euoouragement and notoriety will be offered those who have engaged in the manufacture of domestic fabrics of cotton, wool and silk, of paper and of farming and other mechanical implements. The display in the stock and poultry depart-, ment promises to be unusually fine, and tne enure iair promises to uo u great success under the efforts of Co). Thomas Taylor, tho President and the other efficient officers of the Society. 1 ^ i A convention was in progress at Lima" Ohio at which the county auditor was making a furious speech in favor of "reform," when he was suddenly snatched up by the constables and carried off to jail where he found his friend and political crony, Lewis Meyers, also incarcerated. Myeis was the treasurer of Auglaize county who was discovered a few weeks ago in his office bound, and a gag in his mouth. He said that four masked ruffians had seized him upou the highway, hauled him to the treasury, tortured him by applying burning coal to his feet, and so compelled him to divulge the combination of the safe lock, whereby they were able to car-' ry off about S-7,000. It turns out that the ruffian who applied the torture was the county auditor, and that it was all what if vulvarlv called a put tin ioh. Mcpwvv there i.o* : ?m !y ' jr. years. The tax-payers arc very much | exasperated and are considering the pro. j priety of lynching both auditor and treasurer. I)r. J. 0.
