THE BEA LI 11 OF BEAUFORT
It is in a spirit of deep thankfulness
and not of exultation that we give utrerance
to the belief that at the present
time no place enjoys better health than
the town ot Beaufort The ouly cases of
yellow fever which hare existed here were
brought from Port Royal at the beginning
ot last week aad both terminated fatally.
Mrs. Casey dying on Saturday and Mr.
.Stern on Sunday. The undoubted fact is
that our town was put into unprecidentcdly
excellent sanitary condition before the
heat of the summer mouths came on, and
from that time to the prescut the persona^
attention of Intendant Williams
has been given to the scattering of disinfectants
and deodorisers into every lurking
place of pestilence. Of course, since
the appearance of yellow fever at Port
Royal the vigilant town officials have been
doubly vigilant and large fires of sawdust,
tar and refuse rosin are burned in the
streets from sunset to sunrise. Meanwhile
the entire freedom from any kind
of sickness and the present auspicious
weather permit us to indulge in the
be! ief that Beaufort will maintain its
character as a remarkably healthy
locality which it has heretofore been
noted for.
Our deepest sympathies are aroused
at the condition of our sister village o*
fort Royal which is now suffering from
a visitation offerer probably introduced
by the steamer City of Dallas oji a trip
from Fernandina, which after entering
and leaving Port Royal was quarantined in
New York on account of her having sailed
from Fernandina, where the telegraph
had in the mean time made known the
presence of yellow-jack. The increase in
the number of those stricken with the
ferer has caused a total cessation of Lus *
M? and a eon sequent increase of want of
the necessaries of life incident to such a
state of affairs. Several physicians and
nurses have been furnished from Charleston,
Savannah and Aucusta as well as
from Beaufort At the present time some
<oftheriek have become convalescent,
while there still remain under treatment
-46 persons, 34 white and 12 colored. The
number of deaths has been 12, all white
persona.
Ibis is a time, in our opinion, when
the heat feelings of our nature are aroused
nod not a season for charges or counter-charges
to be made. We therefore
print the letter of the Health Officer
with reluctance and hope that further
discussion will be poetpoued for the
present.
YELLOW PETES IT AUGUSTA.
_ \
The authorities of Augusta have seen
it to quarantine citisens of Beaufort because
the yellow fever is raging in Port
Royal, igooring the fhot that no case has
vet originated in onr town. The Au
gusta papers have not yet learned that
there have been a doaen cases in their
city, mostly refugees from the workshops
in Port Royal, and that one of them
named Oscar Mills, a fireman on the
railroad, died in Aogusta 1 sfc Saturday
with black vomit. It would be much I
more in accordance with reason were the
officials of Beaufort? to quarantine Auguftta.
President Hayes' Southern tour is a
notable parallel of a journey made by
President Washington soon after the organisation
of the government. This visit
was made as soon as was convenient
aAer the final adjournment ot the first
Congress. Hamilton's schemes for
funding the State debts, levying internal
taxes on spirits and establishing a United
States hank had excited great hostility
in the South and it had been boldly
claimed that the taxes on spirits could
never be collected. It was the aim of the
administration to reconcile all sections to
these first measures of the new. National
Government whose permanency was
then, and for many years afterward,
constantly doubted by every faction on
whose interests particular measures were
thought to bear with an excessive weight.
The President had previously visited
New Kngland and had been most enthusiastically
received. The Southern trip
was made bv himself without any uicin
ber of the Cabinet accompanying him.
In the month of March Washington
set on* travelling with one set of hoises
?^ and making occasional halts. The route
projected, and of which he had marked
out the halting places, was by Frediicks- |
burg, Richmond, Wilmington X. C\, and
Charleston to Savannah; thence to Augusta.
Columbia and the interior towns
of North Carolina and Virginia, comprising
a journey of 1887 miles, all of which
he accomplished without any interruption
from sickness, bad weather or any
aeeideot. He returned to Philadelphia
on the 6th of July much pleased with his
tour. It had enabled him, to see with
his own eyes the situation of the country,
and to learn more accurately the disposition
of the people than he could have
done from any verbal information. He
had looked around him, in fact, with a
parental eye, been cheered as usual by
continued demonstrations of the nation's
love, and his heart had warmed with
the reflection, how much of this uational
happiness had been won by his own
patriotic exertions.
Now. after a lapse of SG years, and J
e?n?ii ! '! l'i" ! mi
after infinite trouble and disa ter, there I
is an appearance once again of a disposi- i
don in tho Southern States to accord to !
the Federal Government a hearty <
support in wielding the national authori- '
ty and enforciug the laws. Now, as i
nn o r?i I witb tho simp rrrvn.l motives. ! <
iUVilf HUM ft % > w - "I , ^
the President of the United States has i
passed through several of tho Southern
States for the purjKise of meeting the
people and cherishing the growing
sentiiueut of regard for the Union, and
the increasing disposition to obey the
laws.
?
The Charge of Bribery.
The examination of Robert Smalls was
mm it* Pi-.inmKift nn Saturday last and I
lAT^UlI III VVIMMV... ~ ?
postponed until Monday'in order to'secuie
the presence of that essential witness for
the State, Joseph us Woodruff, who
testified under oath that on the 18th of
January, 1S73, he paid to Smalls, then
Senator from Beaufort County, a check
for $5,000 as a bribe to secure his vote
as Senator for the passage of the bill
appropriating the enormous sum of
$325,000 for the public printing in which
WoodrufFand A. O. Jones were jointly
interested.
Leroy F. Youmans Esq., Counsel for
the State elicited in evidence by reading
the Journal of the Senate, the fact that
Smalls voted for the passage of the bill
i when it came up for a third reading. It
was also shown by the production of the
check used in consummating the /bribe
and the books of the South .Carolina
Banking and Trust Company, that on
fhe 18th day of January 1873 Woodruff
was debited with the check for $5,000
and on the same day, that amount was
credited to Smalls.
No witnesses for the defence were offered,
and further examination being waived*
Mr. Smalls was bound over to the wext
term of Court in the sura of $5,000,
Senator Nash and his wife and Postmas'
ter Wilder furnishing the bail, temporarily
at least, with the understanding that
' * ?:f
other security couia oe suusmuicn ?
deemed by the Court sufficient.
The next scene of the drama will open
in the Court of General Sessions in
Columbia on the 22nd day of October and
we must not forecast the issue, for it
must be remembered that the defeudant.,
Robert Smalls has not hesitated to hold
his right hand up to Heaven, in the
presence of his fellow citizens in this
Town and call upon his God to
witness that he has never been a participant
in any fraud whereby the people of
this State have been wronged of a dollar.
Senator Maxwell of Marlboro' county
underwent an examination similar to that
of Mr. Smalls, except that the amount
which he was charged with having receiv
ed at the same time and for the same
reason was only one-fifth as much*
During the course of the examination by
a slip of tho tongue Woodruff let fall the
information that ex-Senator Jones and
A .T T?in?ior linft hppn rpoininnfs if
checks under similar circumstances.
? i
Chief Justice Carter of Washington
having issued a warrant, on tho requisition
of the Governor of South Carolina,
for the arrest of Senator J. J. Patterson,
a visit was soon thereafter made to the
residence of the Senator by the Marshal,
when it was ascertained that the Senator
was not at home. His counsel, however,
knew of his whereabouts, and accordingly
prepared a petition for a writ of habeas
corpus in advance of the service of the
writ for arrest by the Marshal. When
all the preliminaries for the petition of
a writ of habeas corpus were completed,
the Marshal was informed of the locality
of the Senator, whereupon the arrest
was made by him, and immediately
| thereafter counsel appealed to Judge
Humphreys for a writ of habeas corpus,
the petition based on the following
grounds: First That Senator Patterson
was regularly elected a Senator of the
United States in 1872 and shortly after
came to the District of Columbia, and
has remni ;ed here in the discharge of
his duties; that during the interval from
that period to the present he has visited
South Carolina several times, but that
he has committed no cri ne in the State,
and that he has continued to reside here
temporarily as a Senator, and therefore,
it cannot be .ca:d, in the terms of the
requisition, that lie is a fugitive from
justice. Second?the term of the court
at which the indictment was found was
not the regular term of the court. It
was not hold at the time and place authorized
bv the law, and oonsequen'lv
I the finding is of no validity and the
indictment on which the requisition was
founded is void. Judge Humphreys
issued the writ of habeas corpus addressed
to the Coroner, who served it on the
Marshal, demanding that he produce
the body of Senator Patterson. The
Marshal, in obedience to the writ, did so.
To allow time for the arrival of the
Attorney-General of South Carolina, a
hearing was postponed until the 17th.
insf, and Mr. Patterson gave bail for his
appearance in the sum of $2500.
?x-Trcmurrr Spinner's view the
situation.
Ex-Treasurer Spinner, who so long
and faithfully watched the money bags
of the Government and who understands
the working and necessities of our financial
machine as well as any other man, in
a recent interview with a newspaper
reporter said:
"The financial question is in reality
not so difficult as many suppose. I was
brought up a bullion Democrat, and am
quite willing there should be a metallic
currency for those who wish one; but 1
think paper is best. Wm. D. Kelly has
the true idea, though it is not origica
with hiui. A metallic currency is wanting
in elasticity. At times an expansion
of the circulating medium is necessary j
for the purchase of crops, transportation, ;
etc. What we want is an issue of legal j
tender note9, convertible at any time into ! tl
in interest-bearing bond of the United w
States?* bond for which the holder S
could Ret currency with accrued interest si
whenever he should desire. At a rate of p
interest no higher than 3.65 per ceut. the a
desired amount ot circulation would be t
absorbed when not used tor commercial | purposes,
and the bonds would be con- j
vorted when the business of the oouotiy , "
required a large amount of currency.
Such currency would so<:n be on a par
with gold, and it would be the parent of a
new prosperity and of a new era of patri- c
otism. The present plan of resumption J
will have no other effect than to oppress ,
the people and cripple the energies of
Government. Without a change in the
financial policy the worst is yet to be
apprehended. The people will not stand
too much oppression.
Congressional Representation.
Tho communication from our corres- 1
pondent at Early Branch makes some f
pertinent suggestions concerning the *
situation in which our Congressional 1
Representation will be left in the event
of Smalls seat being declared vacant by
? * _ .i. d:
reason 01 nis implications in ine rung
doings. A new election will undoubtedly
be ordered. It will never do for Mr.
Tilluian to be the alternative of what the
great tidal wave has done. The most
sanguine could never have predicted such
adenouement. When Mr. Tillman received
the nomination it was surely not the
choice even of the Democracy itself.
While we agree with the writer that
Col. Jas. W. Moore would worthily
represent the District in the National
Councils and we would heartily support
him in the eveut of his nomination by
the convention we are of opinion that
there are others who arc not only better (
entitled but whose experience and whose 1
acquantanceship over the Congressional '
District would give them the advantage 1
of not only receiving the nomination but 1
of carrying a flattering vote against any
opposition that might be started. There
is Gcnl: M. W. Gary for example
who is second onlv to Genl: M. C.
Butler in the Herculean services he performed
in bringing about the present
avalanche .that ; has swept over the
; political sand banks and buried forever I
' the power of resurection of all corI
ruption all knavery and all thievery in
the future. <
We want an unequivocally strong man
J for the place that will soon go begging. !
Lot us not have too many aspirants.
| Let the place seek the man, not the man 1
the place, and let us have such a man as
Gary or one equally prominent and '
imposing.

Messrs Editors:
Upon the fate of our Congressman
Robert Smalls now under charges before
the Investigating Committee depends
the future representation from this Congressioual
District to the House oi
Representatives of the U. S. The contest
of Mr. Tillman for Small's seat will
no doubt be ignored and a new election
will probably be ordered. The candidacy ,
of Mr. Tillman against Smalls was an 1
unfortunate one, as Mr. Tillman would J
scarcely have been the nominee of the ]
Democratic Party except that it wa
regarded at that time a forlorn hope. 1
We hope that an able and prominent ,
candidate will be put forward in the
event of a new election being ordered.
We think that the able and eminent ,
services of Col. Jas. W. Moore as chair
man ot tlic executive comnmiee or micounty
entitles him to the next nouiina
tion. His efforts at organization of tinparty
in this county under the discourag 1
ing circumstances through which he i
succeeded in placing the party for he
first time in fighting trim, entitle him to ,
consideration. He is a lawyer 01 ability j
and a politician of marked industry and
force. Let his claims be urged and let ?
preparation be at once made to elect \
him in the coming contest which we J
think will be inevitable, so soon as the. i
vacancy is made by the removal of Smalls, i
which we regard as a foregone conclu- '
sion. i
Col. Moore is strong in the upper part i
of the county and is popular here. lie }
is one of Gov. Hampton's aide9 and ]
worthily enjoys a large share of the confidence
of the Administration. i

The citizens of Anderson, are very J
active in their efforts to secure success in
building the Savannah Valley Railroad. <
Meetings have been held at the j
Court House, and at other points in the <
neighborhood future meetings are called, '
and prominent citizens chosen to take
up subscriptions. A committee consisting
of five gentlemen from Anderson and
five from Abbeville County, has been
appointed to petition the Legislature, at
its next session, lor a charter, and every
body in that section is working in the j
interest of a railroad from Anderson to
Augusta?Attention is also being directed
to the propriety of making an effort
to secure control of the Blue Ridge
Railroad. i
Hon. J. C. Sheppard of Edgefield will
be urged as a candidal e lor Speaker of

A graceful comflimcnt to President
Hayes was paid last week by the Southern
member* of the Board of Trustees of

nating him to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Judge Jackson of Georgia.
It is the custom of the Board to have the
Southern trustees make a selection to
supply any vacancies occurring in the
membership from their section. In accordance
with this custom it was supposed
they would name a Southern man,
