The Court of General Sessio- s, Judge Reed presiding, convened yesterday. A very meagre crowd was in attendance and the onlv work- acconinlished the first day ~~ " ~~ 1 a couple of presentments for light offenses. I ^ I The report of'the Joint Investigating Committee has been made showing how Patterson captured the legislature that elected him. Thi total expense was about $75,000, of "which Joseph -Crews says $S00 was paid "to Robert Smells for the vote of thejBeaufort delegation. Sammy Green got an overcoat,"but he says'he won'jit of Worthiugton on a bet As Worthington was| Patterson's paymaster it is'not to bo wondered at that he lost the wager. Votes were worth all the way from $50 to $5,000. and almost every one was for sale and bought and paid for in cash?not checks. Toe election to take place next Monday is apparently to be entirely in the hands of the Democracy, the Republicans so tar asjwc can learn, having taken no step towards putting up a candidate. The collapse of the party in the State, and the demoralizing effect on its adherents in this county caused by the conviction of Smalls and the resignation of Green, will ? ^ fknnt 4W\m I\n11 in or in any evum ^icvcm tucu uvw n anything like their usual vote should they spring a candidate at the last, moment. It wdl not do, however, for the Democ racy to take it for granted that their sue cess is assured and relax any of their ef forts, but every man must turn out and see that his neighbors also do their duty j so that no vote shall be lest. At the last olectieu the vote in Beaufort County, as reported, was Hampton, 2,274; Chamber lain, 7,604, from which it will be seen that only the greatest vigilance and per sistcnt efforts on the parrt of the Democ racy will make success certain. Let even' one make it his business next Monday *~ nr-avtr vntn Jo nn!lf?r1 nnd that I IV 3C5 Uiai ? vw pv?*v?( ?-?? ? ??w it be cast for the candidate nomiuated today at Yemassee. The terrible disaster ou our coasf, the . wreck of the U. S. Sloop of war Huron and the loss of nearly a hundred precious lives, will not only excite public sympathy but wo hope.will lead to some searchiug investigation in regard to the condition of our Navy. Under Severy administration, charges, not only of extravagant and wasteful expenditure, but of a more serious nature, are made. It has been asset t" ed again and again that vessels are built not for public defence and for the safety of the noble seamen who arc to risk their lives in them, but to promote the pecuniary interest of contractors and ot hers. The truth in regard to these charges ought to be ascertained and made known. One thing is certain: we have very little in the matter of a Navy, to show for the great annual expenditure that has been made lor half a century. The Senaforship. Next Monday the voters of Beaufort 7 County will elect a successor to Sammy Green. The short notice given the Exe cutive committee requires the great?.9t vigilance on their part to make the neces sary arrangements for the election. The committee met at Yemassee last Monday, seven out of the nine members being pies ent, and called a convention to meet at the same place to day to nominate a can didate. As the time approaches new as pirants are announced but the choice seems to rest between three of them? Messrs. Elliott, 3Ioore and Martin. Mr. Elliott having endured the abuse and odium for the same position at the last election, and being.in every respect ably fitted for the positiou his many friends hereabouts as well as on the mankind in sist on his prior claim tc the nomination and will urgently press on the convention the debt due him for hi* zeal in the last campaign when the hope ot success was forlorn indeed. Aquestiou of great importance will be brought before the convention, the remo val of the Court House, and it is not irn possible that this will be the enly subject on which the candi Jatc must take a deeid ed stand. The cry in the upper portion of the County is ' Give us the Court . House or divide the County," and the delegates will bo instructed to insist on the pledging of the candidate to one of these measures. *TUc people iu this sec tion naturally oppose the removal but at the same time many would prefer it to a " division of the County, as such a division * would leave the whites on the coast in such a fearful minority as to destroy all hopes of ever wresting the county from the rule of ignorance and plunder under which she has so long suffered. The cap italists of Charleston and Savannah, we understand, also oppose the division as their interests in the rice fields would be endangered and their rights put in jeop a d/. Whatever action is taken we hope 1 may bo for the best and if any arrange i merit could be made to hold the terms of 1 court at a convenient place on the main ; land and still retain the offices in Beau fort there is no one here that could oh jeet. Information has reached London, on what is believed to be respectable author- i itv, that the capture of Kars was due to j treachery, paid for with large sums of Russian money. A Pasha with 200 no n ; is said to have passed over to the Russian camp, and having given the enemy valuatie information about weak points in the defences, to have guided otic attacking j column to the outer fort and admitted them within it. Once inside this commanding for*, the Russian? found the j storming of other position j was greatly fVi!'t:iK?l. .;i.l Kars '? !' by thvc means. General Butler was admitted to hU scat in the Senate last Saturday by a vote of 26 to 29. Patterson voted for his admission but it is gratifying to know that Gen. Butler is not indebted to the greatest fraud in the Senate as he" received enough votes without Patterson's aid. It is said that Patterson hopes by this move [ to escape prosecution, but if the authori; ties accept his vote as a quit claim for i his iniquities we are mistaken. When South Carolina puts a man in Patterson's ; place she will have occasion to congratu; late herself on l>eing rid of a nuisance, j The Palmetto State for the first time in j seventeen years has uow a proper repreI sentative upon the floor of the Senate, j and we are confident that the gallant and I distinguished gen leuian who represents her there will be always fouud faithful to the great trusts reposed in him. In the House on Friday, Joe Robinson introduced a bill making juror's aud witu ss' tickets receivable for taxes, and also .1 hill to make them preferred claims. Mr. McKewn introduced a bill to restoie to their former owners all lands forfeited for taxes. The bill making rape, arson and burglar}* a capital offense passed . its second reading, The bill to establish the j new county of Palmetto was made the I special order for next Wednesday. Ou Saturday, in the Senate, the bill to incorporate the Port Royal Docks, Warehousing etc., etc., company was reported on unfavorably. Mr. Cochran introduced a bill providing for the election of county treasurers. In the House Mr. Rhett introduced a resolution that the General Assembly adjourn on the 23d inst., and moved that it be placed on the calendar, which was agreed to. By Mr. Gray a bill to make convicts in jail work on the roads or streets in the town where they are confined. Mr. Myers presented a petition of citizens of Beaufort County against the creation of the County of Pal ? metto and in favor of the removal of the Court House. Thomas K a member from Newberrj having been convicted of a crime and being incarcerated in jail was expelled unanimously. T. B. Johnson of Sumter being in contempt of the House was also dropped from the rolls. Inward Freights Necessary* It is an established fact that cotton and grain ships must have freight to our port in order to make competition with Northern seaports a success. In an article on the advantages offered shipping in our harbor, the New York South says: "New York's commercial history is a warning and an example to every Southern port, and those that have the sense to profit by it will never have to regret surrendering a small temporary gain for an enduring advantage. Amongst other contestants for Atlantic trade, Port Royal is putting in her claims, as will be seen in another column. Her railway from which so much was expected when it was first built has hitherto failed to pay its expenses. Though two hundred miles nearer the center of Kentucky than New York is, - - -- ^? i with direct railroad transit mure, aim possessing one of the finest harbors on the coast, commerce will not take that course spontaneously, and the Beaufort people arc waking up to a sense of the fact. As a simple matter of cost Port Royal offers a heavy premium for Kentucky ship ments as compared with New York. The lowest cost of drawing one ton one mile is six mills; this, on the 200 miles by which Port Royal is nearer Louisville than New York is, amounts to $1.20, or about four cents on every bushel of grainBut ships will not come to the port if they cannot bring as well as take away a cargo; neither will railroad cars make terminus of any point which docs not provide as well as relieve theui of a freight." A Case of Vei^ance. Last Thursday as a citizen of our county was returning from a hunting expedition, in a lonely, clesolate region about ? - -i* n i .:n? ? tiiteen nines west; 01 unniauivmc, m a bayou of the Savannah river, known as Coleman's lake, the body of a negro was discovered floating on " the water. The body was secured and word scut to trial justice Bell, who summoned a jury of iuquest and started for the lake. The party had a very unpleasaut journey through the swamps, many of them on foot being obliged to ford streams waist deep* AVhen the body v as brought to the nearest land the inquisition began but no evidence was elicited to show who the deceased was, although seven of the jury were colo.el men living in the vieiuity and would have known him if he had been a resident of the county, and it was decided that he had been brought over from Georgia. Upon examining the body it was found that he had been shot through the head, the ball breaking both jaws, his stomach had been cut open from which wound his bowels^irotruded. Jlis arms had been bound above the elbows by buckskin thongs. There was nothing on the body to show who he was or where he came from, and a verdict was rendered that the deceased came to his death at the hands of narties to the jury unknown. A grave was dug on the margin of the lake and the body buried, wrapped in a mantle of pine leaves, and the mystery surrounding the terrible event will prubably never be solved. Brighton, S. I1., Nov. 20, 1877 Mr. Editor: The military review at Early Branch on the 23d brought together a large number of the citizens of Beaufort County, and I was surprised to learn how much excited the people in the lower portion were upon the subject of a division of the county. They appeared to think that "perse" the up country favored a division and desired to get rid of them. In this I am sure they are mistaken. Those who favor a division do so under the impression an 1 firm eoavi'-ti m that it i- a political ! mnw-ssity, believingtli.-it tli: negro popuj lation is so much larger than the white, ! that for all time to come we would be un-j der the domination and control of the i Radical. I aui sure if it is demonstrated by the election soon to be held, that intelligence will hold the ascendency and that the Democrats will be able hereafter to control Beaufort County as a whole, then I feel satisfied there would be but lew who would urge a division. As a compromise the Court House must be ; moved to some point more central?some j point on the Port Royal Railroad. I sup- j pose all will admit this necessity and first ; action. Now Mr. Editor, to settle this ' whole matter I propose that the nominat- j ing convention soon to be called shall bea , large representation of the best men in the 5 county. That as soon as the convention is organized a com nittee of ten be appointed?five from the upper and five from the lower country, that they report at once to the convention a compromise which all can agree upon, and if my prop osition is accepted all probability of any unkind feeling will be removed. Let us make every effort to "dwell together as brethren in unity" and if it be possible let us preserve the old landmarks of our fathers. But the Court House must be moved to a point as near the geographi cal center of the county as practicable. Up-Country. Beaufort, Sept. 25,1877. The cotton caterpillar has been very destructive on some of the sea islands this year, and I am surprised that no effort has been made to save the cotton crop. In many sections of the south they are protecting their cotton by using Paris green, and when properly applied is a safe aud certain remedy for the destruction of the cottou worm. Iu Texas the caterpillar appeared iu large numbers about the 15th of Aug. and for a few days there was a great demand for this poison from the manufacturer in New York, which would indicate its general use. To show the loss in trade that Beaufort will sustain this season from the cotton worm, I will single out Paris Island, and if they are as bad on other islands, an estimate cau be made for the surrouuding country. Paris Island is probably the best tract of land of its size for producing fine cotton south of Edisto. Having so much rain through the first part of the season, cotton made too much growth which set it shedding its first forms. August being more favorable the plant was fruiting well on the ton and errowincr, when in comes the cat erpillars catiug leaves, forms, bolls and even the ends of the limbs. Every family on the island will lose from one-half to three-fourths of their crop. The 100 families living here will lose at least 50,000 pounds of seed cotton. One colored man has nine acres that would have produced over three bags, he will scarcely get one now. If he had invested ?4.50 in poison he tnighfe have saved at least $200. In using poison the best method is to thoroughly mix one pound of pure Paris Green with thirty pounds of cither flour, plaster or lime and du t it on the cotton with du?tcr? that arc made for that purpose by the Safety Poison Duster Co., 55 Beckman street, N. Y., and for sale by B. K. Bliss & Son and other dealers. It is the only device by which you can get over the crop fast diough, do the dusting perfectly, and used with safety by the op erator. Flour is best, but lime or plaster with some fine rosin added will make the mixture adhesive, and last ncaily as long as flour, which is too costly for general n??. The cost of Paris Green and lime or plaster is about fifty cents per acre il bought by the quantity and applied with care. A man or boy can dust from three to five acres in a day. I L yxter. + Capt. J. W, Kile)', tiial justice at Brunson, has sent in his resignation. General Rutledgo and Gen. J. B. Kennedy have been commissioned by the Gov eruor Major Generals in the State militia. Col. Will.

Messrs. E. A. & F. W. Schepcr arc his bondsmen. Dr. S. W. Battle, for a long time Assistant Surgeon on the New Hampshire has been relieved and will be assigned to sea service on another ship. i The alarm of fire Sunday evening brought out the machines but no fire was to be seen. It was thought the alarm was caused by there being too many sparks at the residense of one of our citizens who has two lovely daughters. At a meeting of the Washington^En giue Co., held Tuesday evening Mr. W. A. Gordan resigned the position of engi i noor :inil Mr. M. S. Elliott was elected to ! fill the position. <?i The ladies of the Baptbt Church wil] hold a fair at the Arsenal next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, the proceeds to be devoted to paying for the organ. A supper is also promised, and every one should pay them a call and help the ladies in their noble work. ? _ | I Mr. P. y. \\ hitman has removed his j stock of jewelry, clocks etc., to the store ' next to Udell's bakery where he has more room to display his attractive assortment j I of holiday goods.

The animal during a fit of melancholy . solemnly waded into the pond last Sunday ' and committed suicide by an overdose of water.

The Doctor ' has our sympathies, and the buzzards our congratulations. On Tuesday last half a dozen of the of ficers of the U. S. Navy and as many ! more of the residents of our town joined | in the sport ofa paper fox hunt. In the ! pursuit of this game the course of the fox is traced not by the keen scent of the j swift footed hounds but by small pieces | of paper which the extemporized Reynard throws out from time to time as he runs aloug. On the present occasion the meet was on the green at the bacfc of the town, and the fox appropriately clothed in red dish garb having had a fair start ' ' " it ?_ i. i? was m due tune loiiowea Dy tnc lauies and gentlemeu who engaged in the exhil crating chase. Several hours elapsed and many miles of field wood and swamp were passed over ere the game was run down, having made a circuit and returned to town. It is proposed to continue the sport through the winter and no doubt , the number of participants will be in creased. 4^4 Admiral Porter and family are wintering in Aiken. 4^4 Associate Justice Wright of the Supreme Bench, has formally resigned from that position. Mr. Jeter, of Union, was unanimously elected President pro tern, of the Senate, and Col. T. Stobo Farrow was elected clerk without opposition.
