Freezing the Fever Germ.
WAsIIINGTON. April IL

w ASnlNblOSf ApTlt IL.
a communication from the Secretary
of the Navy was laid before the House
this afternoon, giving information in re-
ply to the House resolution regarding
the breaking out of yellow fever on the
United States ship Plymouth. The Sec
retary says the opinion generally pre-
walls among experienced naval men
that the freezing process is q sufficient
protection against the appearance of yell
low fever after it has once appeared on
board OF vessel. There are instances
where it has resulted otherwise, although
they have not been sufficiently numcr-
Gus to entirely destroy the opinion.
Why the Plymouth was not sufficiently
frozen and fumgated has been referred
to medical board to report thereon.
The remarkable fact that the disease
broke out at the precise point in the shin
where it appeared in November last, NAV
be supposed to weaken somewhat the
theory that the freezing process is reli-
able remedy. A single example cannot.
however, be sufficient to entirely over
throw the presumption in its favor. The
department will continue to resort to it
III all cases, but will at the same time
add to it all other known sanitary reme-
dies rs well AS such additional investiga.
tons us it may discover. In the mean.
time, whatever experiments either expe-
rience or science may suggest should be-
tried in order that nothing shall be omit
tcd TO arrest the progress and ravagcs of
this terrible scourge.

THURSDAY MoRr:ae, APRIL u, 1879.

The political trials commenced in the
United States Court in Charleston on
last Monday, and we publish in another
column of this issue the first days pro-
ceedings. With the rulings of the pre-
siding Judge, the application OF the
test oath, and ignorant and partisan
juries, there is but little hope that any
man charged with ali oGanse Of politi-
cal character can receive a fair and
impartial trial. What justice cah be
expected when the virtuous and inteli-
gent are excluded from the jury, and
ignorant negroes and scalawags, who are
the political enemies Of the accused, are
cmpannelled to try them What q
mockery of justicel President Hayes,
with the regular army and his thousands
of deputy marshals and supervisors, has
failed to arrest the successes Of the De-
mocracy, and the calling to his assis-
tance the Federal Courts will not avail
him. The outrage upon that sense Of
natural justice which is implanted in the
bosom of every man, will condemn such
mock trials. 1t is duo TO Judge Bryan
to say that in tho commencement Of
these trials he has proven himself the
able jurist and the impartial Judge.

Richard Taylor.

a telegram from New York announces
the death in that city of Richard Taylor
IA son Of Zachary Taylor and Lieu
tenant General in the Confederate Army.
General Taylor WAS born in Florida but
at the outbreak of the war was n resident
Of Louisiana, where he seems TO have had
a good deal Of political influence. lie
was delegate TO the National Demo.
cratic Convention held in Charleston i'm
in 1860, and did everything in his power
to prevent the breaking up of that BODY.
Aiter the election Of Lincoln (Januarv.
1861, he, as Chairman Of the Senate
Committee on Federal Relations i'm the
Louisiana Legislature, reported and as
sisted in passing an act calling Il conven-
ton OF the people. lie was a member Of
that convention, whic! severed the States
connection with the Union. When the
war commenced he VAS commissioned
Colonel of 4 Louisiana regiment, which
fought under his command at Bull Run.
In October, 1861 he was promoted Brig.
adicr-Gencrnl and attached to Stoncwall
JacksOn's command. Under that great
military leader he served in the famous
Valley Campaign, and won the spurs of
Major r-Gcneral. In 1868 he wcs trans
icrred to the West and made commander
OF the Louisiana Department with the
rank of Licutenant-G General. He showed
great skill in his new sphere, frustrated
the object Of General Banks Red River
campaign, defeated his army in two
bloody engagements, DESTROYED several of
his boats, and would have captured
the encmys whole army and fleet but
lor the incompetency of General Kirby
Smith, who, rs commander of the whole
trans Mississippi Department, was his
superior officer After Sherman's march
to the sea he was called to the relief of
Hood and his shattered forces. but be-
fore anything could be accomplished the
successive surrcnders of Lee and john
ston necessltated his own surrender. On
the oth OF May, 1865, at Citronellc, Ala,
General Taylor surrendered TO General
Candy the last armed forces of the Con-
icdcracy. After the war he for awhile
took some part in the local politics
Of Louisiana. In 1873 he went to
Europe, where he remained for some
time. For the past few years he has
written good deal for Northern period
reals on subjects connected with the war,
and but few days since published a
book containing his personal experience
OF the struggle. General Taylor was a
brave solder and an able General, and
had he fought on side where there was
any chance of success would doubtless
have forced his way to the front rank of
sklllful commanders. Socially he repre-
sented the highest type Of Southern
manhood-mixing with the best society
OF his own country and Europe, he shone
wherever he appeared as an intelligent,
accomplished and chivalrous gentle
Chronicle and C0nstitutionaiiM.

common sense of the people will teach
them that the man who stops the wheels
of government is the man who stops
the wheels of government. In other
words, If Congress votes the necessary
supplies and the President yetoes tho
bill furnishing the supplies, the people
are going to say that The President is the
nian wi!o steps these supplies. 1 know

and not the President, but if our orators
on the stump can't show the people that
it is the President who stops the wheels
OF government. and not Congress. we
had better put up the shutters, 20 home,

that the people will be made to see that
the President and not Congress is respon
slble?" "Thcy will see it without making
them. Their good sense will show it to

= The Vicksburg papers report that
the negro exodus has ceased. This was
to be expected, says the New York Tri.
dune. The season for active work on the
cotton crop has now begun on the Lower
Mississippi, and the blacks who have re-
sisted thus far the impulse to join the
emigration movement will stay until the
next crop is harvested. After they have
once commenced ploughing and planting
they naturally stick to the fields where
they have already invested some days or
weeks of labor. BY .!ext spring the
plaintive voice of the shivering and
starved colored man in Kansas Wilt pene-
trate the everglades and cane brakes of
the South, and there will be no more
exodus" Senator Windom's Emigra-
tion Society will go into liquidation.
= Capt. Eads says that there are now
y feet of water the entire length of his
Mississippi jetties. He has strengthened
the sea end of his jetties by concrete
capplng, which stands two and a half
feet above average high tide. The cap
ping is made in 70 ton blocks of cement.
sand, gravel and broken stone, which are
mixed in molds, and left till they harden.
They are then placed on the willow mat
tresscs which form the jetties, and pro-
tected on the seaward side by stone snd
gravel, driving all the water down the
channel, and forming wall that will be
permanent.

Fire In Charleston.

About half past IL O'Clock last Satur-
day night, fire was discovered in the two
story frame building OH King street two
doors south of Broad, occupied by Will
liam Mcguire rs n shoe and miscellane-
Gus store. When first noticed the flames
had made great headway, and volumes
OF smoke was pouring from the rear.
MIR. Maguire's family had barely time to
escape before the fire barred communica-
tion with the interior.
The fire soon spread from Mr.. Afaguire's
to the threc-story building next door, Mt
the southwest corner, occupied by J. j.
Berger as store, bar-room and resi-
dence. The buildings, being both old
and built of wood, burned like tinder and
soon formed sufficient illumination to
show the location all over the city.
Mr.. Berger and family, who were only
awakened by the smoke, effected their
escape with difficulty through the rear
windows, only saving the few clothes they
had time to put on. a colored man
named William Sally occupying the rear
OF the house, barely escaped with his life
receiving burn on the arm sufficiently
severe to warrant his being sent to the
hospital.
The two buildings were mass Of
flames within two hours after the discov-
cry of the fire, and within an hour fell.
completely destroyed.
Mr.. Berger was insured for 81 800 in the
Carolina Mutual Insurance Company
on his stock, and thought he had $500
on his furniture in the same company.
Both buildings were owned by William
Bredenburg, of Augusta, Ca, and were
insured, where or for how much, could
not be ascertained. Mr.. Maguire's stock
was insured for $1,000 in the Virginia
Fire and Marine of Richmond. The
building and contents were total loss.
The three stotry frame dwelling next
west of Berger's grocery store occupied
and owned by DIR. VIM. G Ravenel, was
subjected to an intense heat from the
burning building on the corner, and
very shortly caught fire on the roof and
in the southeastern room of the third
story. Several streams of water, howey
er, were promptly directed to this build
ding, and, with much difficulty, it was
saved with comparatively little injury.
Ravenel saved almost all his furniture,
instruments, books, g., but much of the
furniture was badly damaged. The
building was insured in the insurance
agency of Ravenel & Bowen for 81 900.
