It seems v o were misinformed in regard
to the conclusions reached at the
meeting held some time ago at ] Coosa hatchie
regarding'^the removal of the
Court House. There was no definite
action taken but the meeting favored the
removal of the Court House and also the
county offices to'Blountville, on account
of the great inconvenience to the residents
in that part of the county who are obliged
to* attend court. Those attending the
meeting did not propose to act for the
people of the co nty'but 'only^'expressed
their own prefer nee regarding the proposed,
change.

In the Court of General S->ssioo9 !in
Columbia last Monday morning Judge
Townseud called foiffthe thrce?!convicted
politicians and after giving his reasons
for overruling the motions .for arrest of
judgment proceeded to sentence the
prisoners. The first! to receive the
attention of the court was Cardozo. The
court recounted the crime of the prisoner
reminding him that he had prostituted
his high position for purposes of robbery.
He also reviewed the evidence, aod the
argument for the prosecution and the
defeaae, and said that, in passing sentence,
he should not be influenced by
popular elanior, ibut shonld be guided
solely by the law. The court! ther
announced that the defendant^Francis L.
Cardoto, be confined in jail two years,
nf tiOfl: and if the fine 1
n(iu ymj m mmv v? ^ ? ?
should not be paid, the imprisonment be
lor three years.
Smalls was next called, and underwent
a gimilar ordeal in regard to the review of
his case in the commission ot the rimec,
the trial, etc. The sentence of the court
was then "pronounced, that the defendant
Robert Smalls be confined at hard labor
for; three years in the penitentiary.
Carpenter was oext called and sentenced
to pay a fine of $1,000 and be confiued in
the county jail for two years.
Melton stated that he had already
served upon the Attorney-General the
necessary papers in notice of appeal and
would move that the executions of the
indcmient .in the case of Robert Smalls

be suspended, pending proceedings before
the highcr'tribuoal,

Port Royal begins to resemble the bu.
sv village it was last year, the merchants
having returned", the closed shutters
removed, uew stocks of goods opened,
and the gangs of stevedores wrestling
with bales of cotton and piles of merchandize.
The hotel register shows a
gratifying list of arrivals and the table is
spread with the best 'the market a?ords
under the direction of its popular proprietor,
Burr. The Pallas left Saturday
with 571 kales of eotton, 1S6 barrels tta
val stores, 36 casks clay, besides other
freight.
The Austin was in yesterday and found
Mr. liundle ouoc uiore at his desk. She
brought a pood freight and left last
evening for Brunswick. The Ship Alexander,
1200 tons,!eaptain Ballard, is at the
wharf with 3100 sacks of salt from Liverpool
and will If loaded with 4000 bales
oi cotton for Liverpool by the Augusta
Compress Company. The schooner A
Fitzpatrick is loading lui.bcrby R. P,
Rundle lor Baltimore front Mauldin's
mill. The Port Royal Lime Co., are at
work on their extensive wharf getting
- - - ' ?i- ?i .
ready for the winter 8 iraue, aim men
kilns are busy converting stalls into that
desirable fertilizer. Mr. Winiberly late
conductor ou the railroad, has been
appointed agent and the other familiar
faces arc all uiet excepting the lamented
. Arthur Hamilton whose death is so much
regretted by all who have had occasion
to transact busiuess at the office. The
railroad is pushing the freight forward
as fast their rolling stock will permit and
ihe workshops are again in motion, the
hands haviug returned to duty. It is ,
hard to realize that but a mouth ago the
busy town was entirely deserted except
by a few coble volunteer nurses and
ph vsicians, and with proper encourage- i
juent there is no reason why Port 1 loyal
? should not at once regain the business so
long suspended on account of the yel- j
low fever.

Si>. REGIMENT S C. VOLS.
The Inspection r?t Knrly Hramh,
An unusual commotion being observed
last Friday by your reporter, he hastened
to discover the cauie, and learning i
there was to be an inspection of Col.
Stokes' regiment of cavalry by Adjt-Gen.
Moise at Early Branch, he prepared to
visit that point and gain a knowledge of I
the doings on that occasion. When on
his way thither lie had the pleasure of
meeting Ex. Gov. Bonham and Judge A.
P. Aldrich, who were!on their way to SavaDnah.
After hearing the fact that
iliutincriiichpfl tfOntleillCn Wert'
aboard the train it was regretted by many
of the regiment that they did not stop
and wituess the review. On my arrival
at the rendezvous f fouud that active
preparations were being made for the inspection.
The staff had already been arranged,
which, by request, I gladly joined and
thereby had au opportunity of seeiug and
closely observiug each separate company.
The staff consisted of the followiug officers:
Capt. B. F. Wyman, Surgeon,
i " Capt. Abram Martin, Paymaster,
Capt W. A. Riley, Commissary,
Capt. W. II. Mauldin, Quartermaster.
The weather as you well know was exceedingly
bad for the past several days,
and still was so, yet this, though it hindered
a full turn out of all the companies,
did not deter a respectable representation
from each company being present.
The order "into line" being given the
regiment was iu a short time ready for
inspection.
The Colonel of tha Regiment Is too
well-known for his gallantry^and soldierly
paring in the late war, as well
bane and courteous conductnp^foccasions
to need one word irolu my pen to
show that be is "the right man iD the
right place.*' He Is of his regiment
and they are proud of him. The
other field officers, Lt. Col. Morrison,
Jfar-G&S. H. Hoover, and acting Adjt.
Glover were present.
Once into lino your reporter had the
pleasure ot seeing as fine an array of cavalry
as any regiment in the State can b<**st
of. It does one's soul good to view the
sight of such a body of well mounted
men. The appearance of this military
display with the soldiers arrayed in their
different uniforms reminded me very
forcibly of the times t4which tried men
souls/ and I began to feel very uncomfortably
comfortable expecting as thev
passed in review, my thoughts reverting
to the battle grounds of Virginia, to hear
the clarion notes of the bugle calling
"charge," the shrill whistle of the bullet,
and the clash of sabres dealing death
rc uuds on all sides. After the review and
inspection were over Adjt. G??n. Mow a
Idressc 1 the regiment in an apt and fitting
speech, commending the troops for
their proficiency, fine appearance and excellent
drill and was loudly cheered.
There was but one colored company
present, with but a very few members.
The General also addressed a few appropriate
and pertinent remarks to them,
allowing them a certain time to fill up
their ranks and to comply with the requisites
of law. They seemed well pleased
with his remarks and gave three cheers
at the conclusion of his speech. The following
is a li-t of the companies present,
1 J /? ? t ,!
the report Demg received irom not g-^ujGlover,
to whom I am indebted:
Co. A. Capt. B. S. Williams, 39 men.
Co. B. Capt. Steimueyer, 50 men.
Co. C. Capt. Browning, 42 men.
Co. D. Capt, Gooding, 39 men.
Co. E. Capt. Lightsey, 53 men.
Co. F. Capt. Davis, 48 men.
Co. G. Capt. Causey, 30 men.
Co. H. Capt. Youmans, 27 men.
Co. I. Capt. Roberts, 38 men.
Co. K. Capt. Moore, 22 men.
Dinner then being announced the Gen.
and staff repaired to the Col's, residence
and there found preparations for the comfort
of the ''inner man" to surpass all expectations.
Here every luxury and substantial of
the season appeared, and I need not say
that ample justice was done them.
The Gen. stated that eight of the ten
companies present would be recognized
and armed in a short time. He complimented
Capts. Williams and Steinmeyer's
companies for their excellent drilling and
Capt, Lightsey's company for its large
rhut were out of order should be ropaiied
am! returned an 1 ii they wished it he would
send them a drill master. The men were
in d<>ubt what to do 1 earing that the
stacking of the arms in the Arsenal was
a trick of the Democrats to get the guns,
and the majority kept them. A reorganization
was effected, the men present
forming two companies under officers appointed
by Gen. Moise. In the evening
un address was delivered by Mr. Moise to
a large crowd of colored und white people.
His remarks were well received aifd
applauded, this being the first time in
years that a Democrat has been - able to
speak in Beaufort without subjecting
himself to every form of insult, and on
this occasion it was evident that an effort
was made to destroy the good effect of
his speech by putting forward some
drunken negroes to annoy, if not insult,
him.
Mr. Editor:
There appeared, in the Savannah News
of 17th October an article on the late
epidemic in Port Koyal which demands
some notice at my hands. As soon as it
came under my eye, I discovered that the
purpose of its publication was twofold,
first, to attempt to prove that the fever
was imported; secondly, to attribute its
introduction to the negligence of the
Health Officer. With the first object, I
hare, at present little do, except it be to
express, in limine, my emphatic dissent
from the "jndgement" so hasti]y^ar?i"-~*~"
at by the writer. , T
Had I replied at an earlier day, I
might have been charged, and justly too,
with indecent haste. Awaiting, therefore.
the subsidence of the epidemic, and
the abatement of the sorrows attendant
thereon; finding the business of the winter
season recovering its activity, I am
constrained to do myself an act of justice,
long held in abeyance. .
I have already foiwfcned the writer of
the article \ins^ review, with extracts
trom the^***^ 9 the office, showing
tji^rCnad been misinformed during his
sojourn in Port Royal; and that Tiie
Facts which he submits "in support" of
his opinion, are quite as much in need
of support as the opinion is. My request
that the errors should be corrected in the
columns of the same paper which gave
them publicity (unquestionably a most
reasonable request, ) has been to this A?y,
disregarded. I now proceed . make
corrections, promising to b? as brief as
justice to myself will arrant
The writer introduces his animadversions
ip cfce prefatory words:
fc*My judgement is that the disease was
imported to the town, and in this connection
I submit the following facts in
support of my opinion: The Kioto
arrived at Port Royal 22ud July from
Cubana W. P. dso means Were taken
to inquire into her condition; nor was she
even boarded by any quarantine officer."
1 reply, that she was not from Cubana;
and this is clearly proved, not only from
the official records, but from the "fact,""
that there is no such place iu W. P., nor
any where else! She ioas boarded by
the quarantine officer, who found not
"earth," but sand ballast. There was
no one sick on board, nor was she from a
port either then or subsequently declared
infected. Her captain was taken sick
fin davs after her arrival!
Oar attention is next directed to the
Louts IChrman, as follows : "The schr.
Louis Ehrmau from Nassau &c." She
was not from Nassau; nor from any in*,
tected port. She arrived with her full
complement of men all well. Neither ol
these vessels was liable to quarantine
under our law, the act of '6s subjecting
them only to visitation. The Br. Steam
Ship Mexican is the third one Lroughi
under our notice. She is introduced
thus: "Steamship Mexican arrive at
Port Royal August 21st from Port an
Prince.' She did not arrive from Port
au Prince. She may have visited \hat
port at some time previous to her departure,
but of that 1 know nothing, she
was not last from that city as her Bill ot
Health shows. There was no case of
infectious disease on board. Her suigcon
was an invalid, suffering as he said, trom
chronic enlaig meut of the Liver. Tfcis
proved to be the case on careful p*jfessional
examination of his person.
This vessel was not liable to qu iruntiie;
but, like the two already named, o.i|y
to visitation.. She was further privileged I
by the tallowing proviso or mo quarantine
Act: "All vessels embraced it
the foregoing provisions, which art
navigated by steam, shall be subjec;
only to such length of quarantine and
regulations as the Health Officer shall
eujoin, unless they shall have had on
board during the voyage, some case of '
infectious, contagious or pestilential disease
&c." She is asserted, also, to have ,
"discharged her cargo." She brought t
rroneand discharged nothing.
It remains only to notice the case of the
Florida Steamer. The City of Dallas
arrived from Florida Aug. 24th. Under
the Act of 1808 all vessels arriving
between May and Nov. from "any place
in America * * * South of Hilton Head"
were, like all arriving from foreign ports,
liable to visitation and examination not?
A.-nrnm/in/) pvr?f>nt under circumstances
described in said act. The Steamships
from Florida were thus regularly boarded
and examined until the expiration of the
term of 1875 Oct. 31st. On the 7th
Feby. 1876 an act of the Legislature was
approved amending that of 1868 reducing
the number of quarantine days from
3U to 15, requiring all Deputies to "be
graduates of a regular medical school;"
and, unwisely, ordering to be strickeu
out of the act of 1868, all that clause
subjecting vessels to visitation, which
arrive, from American ports South of
Hilton Head! The steamers from Feruandina,
with other vessels from Southern
ports, enjoyed quietly the special exemptions
thu< accorded then until any port
from which-they respectively departed
was known to be infected. The Dallas
passed on 24th August without any signal
to, or recognition ol the Health Officer.
This had been the practice since Feby.
1876. It was not known to the Health
Officer, nqr to the authorities of Port
Uoval. that there was fever of any kind
at Fernandina until after the arrival of i
the Dallas, she bringing the intelligence
and. some believe, the pestilence with it.
There are some other statements in the
article no better founded, but they are
of minor importance, and so far-fetched,
that the intelligent reader would not
readily accept them; and one so credulous
as to believe them would see, at the same
time, they had not the remotest bearing :
on the management of the Health Officer, j
The quarantine Act requires the pilot j
whenever he brings in a vessel "subject
to quarantine, or examination, to bring
such vessel to anchor." The Dallas was
not brought to anchor; nor" was there a ,
pilot on board to be held accountable. [
The duty of her captain was to have |
reported to the Health Officer belo e
going up to the town. If is hoped that j
thccjusidcra'.c reader of 'he foregoing
will now see that if the late epidem c
was of outside origin its intr. duetion '
roll, its healthy appearance and horsemanship.
He also said that the material
of the regiment was good, and expected
on his next tour of inspection, six months
hence, to see one of the best regiments in
the State. * *
Adjutant General Muse after the inspection
at Early Branch came down to
Beaufort on Saturday to see what was
left of the once famous National Guard
of Beaufort. A half dozen remnants of
once full companies were present for Inspection
but it did not require a very minute
examination to see that the militia
was terribly demoralized in the way of
numbers, arms, or a knowledge of the
drill. Mr. Moisc after looking them over
made a speech in which he told them
that were they white men they would be i
disbanded at once, as the companies were ;
none of them in point of numbers up to j
that required by law, their guns were diri
ty and many of them out of order; the j
men weio not uniformed anl not one in !
four knew whether shoulder arms mean' j
the right or left shoulder. He told ihem
he did not blame the men so much for they !
had never had efficient officers to tcacli '
them their duties, and that if they would !
listen to him he would take pleasure in j
doing all lie could to build up a good reg-;
iiucnt of colored men in Beaufort County. J
He then announced that if the men prcs- j
mt would disband and form two companies
he would commission their officers !
with Lt. Co!. Morrison as Major in com- j
u-.uil; otherwise they wouM not be re- ;
oogriz. < at all. lie told them to put
their arms in the Arsenal under the j
charge of the Major an 1 th it a!! the guns !
..s/azr???rr...7\.c .vta-j-Ci'vi*, -.
among us is luo tc? fhe iffiv.MvnCy n *
the non-observance of the Aw. ?
It said that the ainerJiucnt which _
so nullifies the law, was okained in the
interjst, and at the instant of some of 801
the residents of the tovn; if so, it w<
behooves them to take etrly measures : da
lor the enactment of a m?re rigid law. it!
Until such change be mode, the Health c0
Officer is almost powerless. I aver, hi c0
conclusion, that during the past seasom t0
every requirement of the law, as now in
force, has been puctiEously obseived. ! c<
There can he no refutation of this asser- 01
tion.
I reserve to myself the privilege of P
expressing, at a future day, my own con- 01
victions asto the origin of the fever, with 11
some practical hints on the prevention of p
its recurrence in the future. g
