Beaufort has maintained for another
vejk its remarkably excellent sanitary
condition, there being no case of fever
?f any kind under treatment. At Port
1 loyal the fever has abated its violence,
perhaps on account of the material being
almost exhausted During the past week
\uv have becu 2 deaths from yellow
fever and 10 new cases of fever of inalaiiil
type and 5 yellow fever patients have
convalesced.
M'c
understood that a rigid quarantine
was established by the authorities of
Beaufort against any ono comiug from
Port Royal and we believe that Marshal
Cohen has been active and efficient in
enforcing it as tar as he has been permitted.
This was done to ensure safety to
several thousand valuable lives in Beaufort,
and not from a wish to wound the
sensibilities or cause personal inconvenience
to those who desire to keep up
* % / . t i
communication with the miectea place.
f?:tt aa order of this kind cannot be
rcspoeted unless its application is made
universal and discriminations tnade at
the will and pleasure of those who establish
these stringent rules cannot fail to
occasion severe comment.
The Future of Parties.
The antagonistic positions taken by the
Uopullicans of Massachusetts and New
York in their conventions is the most
significant event of current politics.
President Hayes since his inauguration,
has pursued a bold, straightforward,
national policy having three cardinal
points?the equal rights of all States in
. the Union, the equal rights of all citizens
under the Constitution, and the emancipation
of the whole people from the
domination of federal Office-holders.
Upon these points the Massachusetts
Republicans announced, without hesitation
and without reservation, that they
stood with him. The New York Republicans
announced as decisively that they
opposed and defic 1 hitn. The Ma4$achusctt3
convcntitn represented -'the
people; the New York convention represented
the politicians. The Massachusetts
convention consulted the national interest;
the New York convention consulted
Senator CoDlding/ The Massachusetts
convention was cow posed of men cl ected
without the intermeddling of the officeholding
crowd; the New York conveot'ou
was elected by the office-holling
ring, and represented it. No man controlled
the Massachusetts convention; the
New York convention was controlled by
:no man. The.Massachnsetts convention
faced to the future; the New York convention
faced to the past. The Massachusetts
convention declared for a national
union of hearts and hands; the
New York convention declared for sectionalism
and the continuance of the conflict
between the North and the South. The
M michusetts convention invoked peace
for the country; the New York conveciwxoao
fnvi n rr nrn i? or?/Y
c:vu uvja iucu pi viui iu^ i?ui auu
hate. The Massachusetts convention
demanded reform io the civil service; the
Sew York convention mocked at reform,
and demanded that tlie party should be a
servant to the machine. The action of
Massachusetts is hailed throughout the *
land as right, wise and auguring well '
for the future; the action of New York is
(
condemned as ill-timed, perverse and
destructive*
The difference between these two conventions
represents, in truth, the antag- |
oni-tic forces which are about to be
3
opposed to each other in the arena of
politics. The policy of the one is such *
as all cood citizens should be ready to
support; the policy of the other is ani- s
mated by the spirit of Grantism, which all ?
a:,mots should desire to sec finally extin-ubhed.
Surely in the impending 0
3 nfiict Between these opposing elements, '
it is to be hoped that the side which a
battles for a oomplete restoration of the
t'tates under the Constitution, may c
triumph ov. r that which strives for a v
aont'nuanco of sectional I itterness.

Our correspondent directs attention to the j
ea?e with which the Port Royal Railroad
JOuld continue its business at a trifling ex- '
oense by a plan which if adopted and ear- J ^
r ed out would be ot permanent benefit to j J
ho road. This braneh could be extended to 5'
he main track at an outlay not much
rreater than the annual cost of repairs to j
die trestle across the marsh back of the
Vtlantic Mills, thus decreasing theexpen
v> of the road, and adding miles ofwa- m
r fiontage for all kinds of shipping y\
Sot ween the Atlantic Mills and Port ^
Royal. ^ ; tl
Tho expense of laying this track 1 p.,
would be but a few hundred ; cc
ioilai**?which may be multiplied into I sj,
th msiid of dollars of loss to the road J p,
through its suspended business. Add to

apparently because it would demonstrate j (
the fact that as available locations were J

Considering the importance of the wheat
crop as an article of food it appears that
while the consumption <f that grain .
amounts to two million five hundred
thousand bushels a year in this State
only about six huudred thousand bushel*
are produced here, leaving nearly two
million bushels to be brought from other
parts of the country, and costs us fho sum J
of three million dollais annually.
Now if we can raise our own wheat this (
money would remain at home and would (
build flour mills, barrel factories, and in a
dozen ways add to the prosperity of the j
State.
(
Experiments made within four utiles ^
of Charleston show a product of 18 bush* '
els per acre of wheat, 37 of oats, and 4 ^
tons of bay, while a quality of rye was ^
mised which at the Produce Exchange in '
New York was pronounced superior to '
my on sale there. j
In conclusion the committee recomend- (
xh First, That the Society should urge t
he planters of the coast counties to turn
heir attention to the cultivation of small ,
grains and grasses.
Second: To make as public as possible j
he results of the system tried near
Charleston.
Third That a careful and reliable j
dantcr should be selected in different ^
ocalitics on the main land and the islands
md be induced to cultivate ten or twenty q
icres, following the system tried near
Charleston, an t if necessary guarantee

nent proved a failure, requiring each to y
:eep an accurate account of the progress Q

Fourth, -s this system of using green a

Agriculture for the Coast Lands.
At the quarterly meeting of the South
Carolina Agricultural Society, held in
Charleston on the 11th inst., there was
read a very interesting report from a
committee appointed at a previous meet
ing to take into consideration the present
condition of the low country of the State
and to make suggestions towards an improvement
in the system of agriculture.
The matters discussed are of so important
a nature to all dwellers on plantations
in this region, that we only regret
want of space precludes the publishing
of the entire report. The couclusions
arrived at by the committee arc in
brief as follows;
The coast lands have always been
considered and arc to-day tbc most
productive and valuable in the State, and
the sarue intelligence and energy that in
former times brought crops of rice, indigo
and cotton to the perfection they reached,
will if turned in a new direction, meet
with equal success. No country can
prosper long that depends upon one crop
alone and to ensure prosperity such crops
must first be planted'as are suited for home
use, and after that all that can be raised
for export. The countries of the world 1
corresponding with us iu temperature are
the south of Spain, France, Italy, Greece^
Turkey in Europe, Syria, part of China,
India and Japan, and most of the crops
and fruits belonging to those countries
can be grown here.
These consist of wheat, barley, maize,
rice, oats and iye, wine, silk, sugar,
cottou, hemp, flax, jute, madder, tobacco*
olives, orancres. lemons. Acs, almonds

WASHINGTON LE1TEU.
b- r i
^ f From oor Special Correspondent.]
Washington,*D. C. Oct. 13tli. 1877.
There is probably no city in this county,
that, for urban Leartty and symmetry
an more successfully claim tnc title, rue
Paris of America" than Washington.
Her broad Avenues anil tasteful paries are
occoming beautifully shaded and iinprov.
3d and there is no time in the year when
one may enjoy this city any more than
in October, just as summer yields sway to
Autumn. Hut with all her beauty, Washington
is a city of "shallow habitation."
Her inhabitants are ever moving and
res'less, and each winter brings with it a
new set f people,who like a snow-flake
on a river, are
"Seen for a moment
Then gone forever.".
This fact gives Washington society a
cosmopolitan tinge and it is not an unfrcquent
occurrence to find at any public
gathering representatives of not only
every foreign country but almost every
State. Just at this time our city is the
' ' ' - 1
.Mecca towards wnicn are jaimcying politicians
and lobtyists whose name is legion.
The hotel proprietors have donned their
most benign countenances, and every
one seems to be in good humor, and of
course knows more than any one else
about the speakership race, and the
latest combination to beat Mr. A or elect
Mr. B. The lobbyists in number arc
"as the sands of the sea"' and next to
the Washington monument, there is
nothing to be seen that is more impressive.
Their gravity of manner, thei1'
intense enthusiasm and showy attire
attract attention every where.
Monday Congre^ convenes in special
session in compliance with the call of
the President. No business except calling
the roll will be transacted before Tuesday
however. The appropriations will le
lhc first tiling on the list and unless
there should be considerable filibustering
will be settled within a week. Of
oonrsc the Army will be attended to first
and then the Navy, for which will be a>ked
two millions, (2,000,000). The Atty.
General will ask for $250,000 for the
Department of Justice, as their appropriation
heretofore has been too small by
a half. To-night the Democrats hold their
caucus iit^the Hall of Representatives
and Monday at 9 a.m. the Republicans
meet. The question as to who will occu
py iUf pniK'ipaj urncus ui mv i mi; nuii
Congress is still a speculative one.
There are a hundred rumors afloat to
day, upon which little reliance can be
placed, but at the sauic time Ilandallism i>
on the increase, andiftheic is no strongc
combination effected, against him than tl e
two, which. 1 ke Sallic Magrun jy were born
on Monday to die on Tuesday he is sun
to be elected. ?Saylor still has confidence
in his success-ami last evening said that hi>
sleet ion was assured, but wr fear be will
find out that politicians promises lik; pic
;rust arc made to bo broken. There an
iwo candidates for the clerkship Messrs.
Adams and Caldwell. The contest fo
his? position is a close one, and no one
,van predict the result. There is piac
icallv but one aspirant for the position
)f sergeant at arms, and conscq ucntb
bat one-Mr. Thompson does not
lave to lay awake nights thinking ol
ombinations and defeats. There are
i dozen who want to be doorkeeper, elcrcn
of whom within the next twelve hours

he.se contests is at fc vcr heat, and 110rbere
on the street do you hear (amonc
loliticians) any thine but what is popuirly
termed wire pulling. The Cabinet
iccting on yesterday considered the
uestion as to whether America should be
epresented at the French exposition of
878 and it will be decided to urge upon
Congress the acceptance of the invitation
rom France and to encourage manufactrcrs
and others to send their goods and i
