Judge Cooke.
Thw im part in] judicial officer hold
our Sessions and Common l>lens
Court*, tp tlic satisfaction of all par
tite. To the members of the Bar he
.was uniformly courteous, nod en
dojivored to mako tliem feel com for
*??le nnd easy under his administra
tion of the law. H a rulings on all
points were quick, aud had the truo
lognj ring nbout them, while all his
charges to the Grand and Petit Jur
ies were explicit and to the point
His ninny friends in this County arc
profuse in their praise of the dignity
ho exhibits upon the Bench, and are
satisfied that old Orangeburg County
has furnished to the judiciary of the
S'tAie one of its brightest lights. LV>ng
may Judge Cooke wave.
Solicitor BuUz.
This faithful prosecnting officer
dispatched an unusual amount of
business during the recent Court of
Sessions, and ridded our county of a
good many desperate characters by
his vigorous and successful manner of
prosecuting. Aller Court he enjoyed
a few days recreation in the country,
which we trust made his love for this
county stronger then ever. Solicitor
B?ttz has been a faithful and diligent
officer, and we have assurances from
all quarters that the peoplo duly ap
preciate his labors. We would that
he would make his home in this
county.
Judge Cooke has been holding
Court in Ornngehurg, and the Ack\s
and Times is delighted with him as a
presiding officer, which satisfies us, j
?we shall hear of our Judge being in
some scrape or other very soon. Why
don't our Judge slay at home, where
the broad wings of the News can Hap
over, him, aud keop nil things
straight.? Grccnvdle<J)ui/jf Ntwst,
If discharging duty faithfully upon
the Bench, sending crimminals to the
i Peuctentiary, being clasped by the
hand by hundreds of admiring friends,
attending Baptist Associations nnd
enjoying the fat of the land, be a
?'scrape," our Judge, as friend
Speights calls him, is in a devil of a
fix.
"Our Judge !" How prcpostrous !
"When Greek meets ('?reck, then
conies the tug of war."
Tue attacks of the Acvs and Cour
ier upon Attorney General Milton,
and lk? Comptroller, T. C. Dunn,
ai* as wanton 'sm they arc damnable.
It nedms that our I Charleston con
temporary is anxious to divert criti
cism from a few of its pets, and thinks
thai the quickest nnd surest way to
accomplish that end is to endeavor to
blacken the characters of gentlemen
who arc deservedly popular. If the
Ayir* and Courier wants to shield
. those who are conspicuously famous
for their shortcomings in office, it
should pursue n different course than
that which has characterized its con
duct for the past month. Can that
paper not pursue its way of independ
ent Republicanism without slander
ing those who do not pander to its
wishes? Would it not shift sales if
Melton and Dunn were to say: "We
are not capable of attending to the
duties of ouir office, without thy
advice, oh News and Courier. Give
us thy wise counsels aud we will
bless thee for ever more." Such is
our opinion. The astute Attorney
General and Comptroller Dunn seems,
however, not to care a big lump of
sugar fur what the "Kian who gets
behind the church'' has to say:
"flow easily in a noble spirit disccrn'd
From banm and nulphtirou* matter tint
flics Ulli
In cuntmnoliiM, makes a ntii.se, and ?linksft
The papers arc pitching right into
J.Douglas lit bcrtson, for bis conduct
in selecting the new text books for
the public schools. Bight. Knock
the devil into him if he deserves it,
and we doubt not thai he does.

Presiding Judge \st VirenU :
Thograur^ury beg leave to submit
tlio following report as their present
ment :
Wo have visited the various public
offices and buildings, and find them
in the condition as hereinafter stated.
The jail we lind to be in good con
dition and perfectly kept. There is
confined twenty-seven pi isoners, ail of
which y.ro well eared for. The jailor
complains for want of water. We
would recommend that he require
the prisoners to lower the well, and
do such other work in the jail yard as
be may deem necessary for their com
fort and convenience. We would
further recommend that tlio sheriff be
required to comply with the law in
keeping bis prisoners confined or un
ilar guard when allowed to leave the
jail, it having been brought to our
notice, that through the carelessness of
the jailer one of the prisoners has late
ly made bis escape.
The poor house is in good condition,
and well kept. We find three pau
pers who are apparently well cared
for.
The olliecsof the clerk of the court,
sheriff, judge of probate, treasurer,
auditors, school commissioner and
coroner uro all in good order, and
books apparently well kept. We have
examined the county commissioners
office, and would present that board
for having approved two orders, viz :
Joe O'Gaiii Sl?, and J. J. Jamison
S2.S for repairing bridges on Five
Chop and .River roads, when these
parties testify that they know nothing
of said orders, and represent that
their names ^wcre forged. Witucsses
to prove these facts are J. J. Jamison,
Joe O'Caiu and Acey Keunerly.
We find from report of former
grand jury, that the old boartl of
county commissioners; of which J.
J Folders Meyers was chairman, is
? indebted to the county the sum of
21)9.03-J00 dollars, aud would recom
mend that your honor order such
action in the case, as will recover to
county, said amount.
We sec several matters in our last
presentment unnoticed by Solicitor C.
I W. Buttz, and call your honor's at-'
j tcntiou to these facLs,
J We present for indictment, J. P.
M. Foures f?r ofliciai misconduct?
j witnesses, D. D. Jones, Ctiflee John
son, Joe Gilliard,*J. C. Zciglcr and
A. M. Joardain. Trial justice II.
Powell Cooke is also presented Itv
ofliciai misconduct?witnesses, J. A.
Wingard, J. M. Crosswcll, T. M. Car
son, J. W. Buyck and H. P. Wingard.
It has been brought to tho notice of
the grand jury that one Dr. O. G.
?Stephens has received rent for a school
bouse, and pay certificates for 12
months between the dates of April '73
and April '74 to the amount of $6471
when it is reported that the ^wbole
school is a perfect fraud, we therefore
present the said Dr. C. G. .Stephens for
indictment, with W. L. W. Riley,
Krvin Jeaniss and K. J. Frederick
who were township trustees and ap
proved his claims, with Francis R. j
McKinlay, school commissioner, who J
also approved his certificates?wit
nesses to prove these facts, B 11
Rnotts, P .S and J P Hutto, Krvin
Tyler, 'lhos Summers aud Fed Jack
son.
The grand jury would state that the
work done by the committee appoint
ed at the last term of the court is
embodied in this report.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted. J. C. Kl)WARDS,
