The work is slow hut it will come along. l wish Agent Smith had told you what even a year of honest, pas tient work has done for the h. tlians in Minnesota, You know how cunning, drunkenness, Sblt- terness, murder and all violence held sway among the Sandwich Islanders. There seemed to be no hope, but at last the right men and right methods carried. The whole country was upheave6 and revoluti0niZed.
 When our army crossed over OF the Helena Island, off South Carolina, we found the most de- graded negroes of this country. They were among the last who bad been imported from Africa. When I saw thenl-sO low, so de- graded said, "what can be done for them or with them?" But two teachers from Massachusetts-two Christian women-already on the ground, had settled the question. The children could learn-were learning like other children. That will lift up and save any people, only press it hard enough and strong enough, and do not confine your teaching to the school-room merely, but give it to every de- partment of life. Nileness and dis ease, and death and every vice of idlenesS and barbarism are to be cured. Of course it will take time and patience.
 A little Indian orphan boy, plck- ed up by Gen. Sheridan after one of those horrible massacreS, in which Indians take their turn of vengeance, was brought to Wash ington. They did not know what else to do with him, so they turn ed him ever to the Freedmen's Bureau. He was a savage, thor. ough- bred, with all the ferocity ever absorbed to his race. For a while I was troubled about him. He did not civilize. Everybody that met him seemed delighted to punch and poke him to see his fierceness and draw the savage fire.

The rendering of the pres ent verdict will at least convince 1 them of the prematureness of that opinion, and will do much toward appeasing the indignation ar, used by the cOmmital of the outrage. It is possible that the verdict of mansIaughter will not be univer- sally accepted as being exactly the right one, but to those expressing such dissatisfaction justice means only conviction for murder in the first degree. However much these men by their inhuman acts may have earned tFe punishment which they are destined to suffer, there are others equally as guilty the men who reaped the spells These men the law cannot reach unless they cri1ninate themselves, and they will evidently escape the punishment they so justly merit" In the above cases, Judge Widney passed sentence as follows: Men del, years in the State Prison; Johnson, 6 years; Mcdonald, ; years; Austin, , years; Martine

Republican Government and the free in.

popular liberty, no personal right will be

have lived in times of extreme public
danger, and extraordinary exercise of
power may be necessary, as the Romans
put the defence of their republic in the
hands Of dictator when the enemy was
ut their gates. But even this cannot be
done without great danger, for it will
soon create the habit of arbitrary ns-
sumption of power on one side and the
acquiescence in arbitrary assumptions on
the other. It is thus that republics are
undermined and perish in the demorali.

Whittier on Greeley.

Prominent Democrats are not the
only people embarrassed by Mr.. Gree.
ley's nomination. Quite as many Re-
publicans, old friendso Of i'White Hat, -
lind them selves in the same category !;
among them the poet Whittier. This
sweet poet is in politics a sour fanatic.
His hats aud loves are illimitable.
He invariably adores or curses. To
Mr.. Greelry he has written rhythmical
eulogies which might we'll pass for
hymns but his political faith is tied
up in The Radical party and now he is
sorely puzzled. Like Desde mona, he
sees divided duty" aud prepares for
it by the pub ication Of letter in
which with velvet hand he opens a
back door which afford to him to es-
cape from the wies Of the Later
Flaukln - After eulogizing him in
bis usual feeling and horid style he
writes:
'.P, rsonally he is the most popular
man in the United States. 1t is very
possible there may be coed reasons
why he should not be President, bat

A Greeley and Brown club Of colored
men in indianapolis has issued an ad-
dress to "colored liberal Republicans
in which Mr.. Summers speech is accep.
ted as true estimate of Grant and his
administration, and an earnest appeal is
made to colored men to rally to the sup
port of that long and stanchest friend
Horace Greeley. Speaking Of the latter,
the address says: "We find that old
whitehall philosopher, Horace Greeley,
among those that stood for the slave
when Gen. Grant and D. P. Morton were
of that class of Democrats that would
have sent Greeley South for punishment,
aye, even death. 1t would be, in our
opinion, no act of ingratitude for the COL
ored man to vote against the Grant party
for it is no Republican party. 1t would
be baser act of ingratitude to 60 back
on our lifetime friend, as Horace Greeley
has been for the last forty or fifty years,
who now comes before them for the first
and last time for their votes. Mr.. Gree
ley stood firm to us when it cost some
thing to stand, and now We will stand by
him."

REVENUE BOND SCRIP.

AS the time approaches for the hear.
ing in the Bond scrip business, it is
pretty well settled in the public mind
that Judge Willard will decide against
it. Auditor Gary remains inflexibly
opposed to any compromise. Those
interested for the scrip will appeal
from Wizards decision and bring the
matter before the court in banc, where
it will be more tepderly dealt with
Some go SO far as to assert that the
majoSty of the court are fixed" but
this is probably only the boasting of
fearful spectators. Paterson says that
even if the courts go back on him he
will make it all right again when the
legislature meets. One thing is GER
tain, however, nothing can be done
with the scrip until fall, as the court
does not sit in banc until November &c.

Official Paper Of the State.
OUR TOWN ELECTION.

On the first Monday in next month
our charter election takes place, when
an Intendant and six wardens are to
be chosen. This election is quite as
important to the citizens and tax pay
ers of Beaufort as a presidential cleo
tion. We trust therefore that immedi-
ate action will be taken to secure the
nomination and election of good men
to these Offices.
We hope our town is about to enter
upon a long career of prosperity, and
We know that the good time may be
FASTENED by an efR-ient town govern
ment.
Politics we are glad to say, will
have little to do with this election.
The aim of all is to get a good Inten-
dant and good men for Wardens.

YELLOW FEVER.

A very able paper upon yellow fever
was read before the Medical Conven-
tion at Houston, Texas, lately, from
which we gather that for the develop
ment of this disease temperature Of
over so degrees Fahrenheight, for one
or two months, is absolutely necessary
with this other pre-disposing causes,
such as a moist atmosphere, the pres
ence Of stagnant water, decaying ami
NAL or vegetable matter, CO, operate.
Yellow fever is a disease that can easi-
,ly be transported. 1t is from this cause
that the quarantine regulations are
considered SO necessary, although the
authors Of the above paper think little
of the benefit to be derived from quar-
antine restrictions, as at present en-
forced. They say sit must be admitted
that their protection has not generally
been efficient; that they can operate
only in one mode of the production of
yellow fever; that they are opposed by
many on theoretical grounds, and by
many others from interested considera-
tiops, which impede their execution,
and that they have made little conpen-
sation for the expense, the delay and
the loss with which they are necessarily
attended"

BAD MANAGEMENT.

If Superintendent Millett had been
within hearing distance of Yemassee
station on Saturday evening last, be
would have heard himself and the p.
r. R. r. as we'll "cussed" as could be
done in English. The train which
should have connected with the
Charleston train at y O'Clock did not
reach Yemassee until 6 O'Clock 80 its
passengers had to wait il that Internal
swamp until O'Clock in the morning.
Passengers from Charleston for Beau
fort, were detained until 2 O'Clock ol
Sunday afternoon. twenty-five hours
from Charleston to Beaufort. There
was no excuse for this outrage upon
the public. A train was detained at
the terminus by the superintendent in
order to load it. with an amount of iron
which the engine was unable to pull.
Either some more regard should be
paid to the rights of the public or the
passenger train should be withdrawn
altogether.

County Checks.

At a meeting of the county commits
sioneIs on Tuesday last, the board is
sued checks to the amount of about
fourteen hundred dollars, at the same
time they refused to issue checks to
other parties for audited bills, because
it was unlawful to issue checks when
there was no funds in the treasury to
pay the same. Let us see what the
law is on the subject. On page l39,
section 9, article Of the revised stat
utes, we fnd "* the county COM
missioners shall not draw any order
upon the county treasurer, until after
the monthly return Of the treasurer
shall have been made to the county
commits sioners Of the amount of funds
collected, nor unleSs he has funds IN the
treasury to pay the sanae".
The report of the comfy treasurer
for the month ending June Is, showed
balance on hand, in both county and
poor funds of less than fifty dollars, and
the commissioners have since then is
sued checks for about t,ctnty fre han
dred dollars. Now We may be very
stupid, but we cannot understand how
the commissioners can issue this
amount lawfully and not be authorized
to give checks for all the audited bills
afoat. If the law'is violated, why not
give every one chance, and not On
the most tlimsy pretence serve them
selves and friends.
The law does not provide for any ex-
ceptions, and yet the commissioners
consider every case an exception. We
advise our readers to read the report
of the commissioners in another col
umn, and they will see for themselves
what claims have been allowed, and we
assert that everv check issued at the
last meeting was~a direct violation Of
the act referred to. and the commits
sioners laid themselves liable to prose
cution, as provided for in the act. We
should be glad to see every one holding
an audited bill present at the next
meeting and assert their claim for
a check, and inform the board that If
any exception is made it must include
all.
AS long as the commissioners con-
tinue to audit bills presented, and issue
checks faster than they can possibly be
paid we can see no hope for any i'm
prOvement in the finances Of Beaufort
county. Let stop be put to the Is
suing of checks, and for that matter let
the board adjourn over till after the
next election, and all the taxpayers will
say Amen.

The Blue Ridge Ring.

The complaint in the case of John
M. MackaY against the Blue Ridge
Railroad Company, contains an array
of charges which, if fully proved, will
justify the poor opinion in which the
members of the Railroad Ring have
been held by the people Of the State.
In that complaint, it is alleged that a
large number of the endorsed bonds
were, by reason Of the incapacity,
dishonesty, speculations and fraudu-
lent practices" of the officers Of the
company, diverted from the purpose
for which they We're issued that the
proceeds of such bonds as were sold
was almost wholly misapplied that
81, ,797 900 Of Reve ue Bond Scrip was
issued to the President, Mr.. j. j. Pat

Company, and was ''in pursuance OF a
conspiracy" pledged to various persons
to the amount of S.005 600 that the
money obtained by pledging the Reve-
hue Bond Scrip, amounting to $ll0,-
900, has been ''fraudulently misap-
piled" by the Executive Committee of
the road, the greater part Of 1t Ito

time Of the trausa cLion. Hardy Solo
mons, II. G.. Worthiugton and +. S.
Jacobs, and others, We're not legally
qualified as directors. These allega-
tons are sustained by The affidavit Of
Mr.. Mackay, aud by the affidavit Of

that he heard President Patterson say
"he bad to give Niles g. Parker the
State Treasurer) Etly N,omsqad dollars
in scrip before he would sign the Reve-

ported to be contract TO that effect"
Mr.. Steers also swcars that he heard
Patterson say that she paid Hardy
solomon $1,000 in scrip, and II. G.

petitioner, therefore, asks the court
that tie dir, ctors Of the Blue Ridge
Railroad be required to account for its
funds that they be enioined from re-
ceiving any money, or making any
payment, for the company, that all
the defendants be ep,joiued from selling

will be heard, we believe,
on the 18th instant.
