As Accident.?The south-bound I _^riosseugev train on Saturday last was dcTayea^'sevei-al hoars at the freight depot in this place owing to the happening of an accident. The train when passing at that point in some way caught up a piece of loose, surplus railing, and it became entangled with portions of the engine machinery. The injured portions of the engine resulted in the escape of the steam, aud the condition of affairs necessitated sending to Columbia for another engine. The train left here about dark on Saturday evening. "fivpp at "rr.Arir?tr?Pv a firp iipai-p out in Blackstock last Friday night in the store of Messrs.

Three store-buildings ... .an?l eighty-five bales of cotton were totafft^dgstroyed by the fire and other property eeajtiguous to the destroyed buildings were injured by the heat of the flames. The total loss is estimated at about $30,000, partly insured. We have not yet learned the origin of the fire, but it is generally thought to have been accidental. The fire on last Friday is a severe blow to Blackstock, and ever)' one will be sorry to learn of it.

The flood was not so dangerous to life and wooertv as that which is swceDintr through'the Ohio Valley, but its effects upon human temper were disastrous in the extreme. Not many years ago : valentines were sent to ladies only and the day was the occasion for a general outbreak of anonymous poetry, which, although lamentably feeble in structure, was well meant. Now, however, men receive most of the valen^ tines, and the standard of verse is scurrility.

The verdict was rendered accordingly, and the prisoner was discharged. The State vs. Thomas Cnllen, infm* Imvorlnrv?Tki*<*flfc?n<r infn tlift house of Mr. J. X. Center, in this placc. Messrs. McDonald & Douglass appeared for the defence. The circumstances of Cullen's arrest and the sev erai uurgianes mat nau jusi> ucun wmmitted in town have already been published. Mr. Center gave the particulars of the entry into his house, and rather positively identified the defendant as the man lie saw in his room. The defendant's conduct when arrested was also described, as heretofore published. To establish his innocence the liimsolf firsf. took t.hft stand. V ? He said that lie came to Winnsboro for the purpose of getting employment in an itinerant show that was then exhibiting- here, but the company had left when he arrived. Here he met two men, with one of whom (a man from Chicago) he was acquainted. The three then agreed to "work" some j nouses nere. "? tic prisoner states mac be himself bought some socks for the j work?the purchase, however, being | also proved by a witness for the State. Cullen further stated that one of the | party got drunk, and that he (Cullen) concluded not to take any part in the robberies. He denied positively any couuection with them, and sought to explain all his actions while in this vicinity. As his reason tor walking, instead of riding on the cars, he said that lie wanted to save passage money. He also stated that he was waiting for the south-bound train, which was to pass here early in the morning, and lay down on the road while waiting. Several witnesses showed that on the day after the burglary two men were going from the direction of Winusboro in the direction ot Ridge way, the prisoner not beinar one of them. The theory advanced, in favor of the prisoner, was that the burglaries were committed by these two men, and that liie prisoner mmscii never cameu out at all his original purpose to engage in them. At the close of: the evidence the argument for the defence was opened by Mr. Douglas-s, at the conclusion of whose remarks the Court adjourned till ten o'clock Saturday morning. The argument in the case of the State vs. Thomas Cullen was con llliuea on oiuuruav luuriuitg?ju.i. McDonald speaking for the prisoner, and Solicitor Gaston closing for the State. After the charge of the Judge retired. They remained out about five hours and then returned a verdict of "Guilty". It is said that the main difference of opinion among the jury was as to recommending the prisoner to mercy?some of the jurors being at first in favor of such recommendation. The State vs. Washington Jones, indicted for fornication?Col. Jas. JEL Rion for ue defendant. Verdict? Not guilty. On Monday morning the prisoners were brought into court, and sentenced" as follows: TaaU T> aa r\ f* Kn ?vrloi*vr UUUtV.

The following is the final presentment of the grand jury for the February term: To the Eon. A. P. Aid-rich, Presiding Judge: The grand jury respectfully make the following presentment: 1. That our body has acted upon all of the bills handed to them by the Solicitor; and we have endeavored to discharge our duty regarding them according to the instructions received from your Honor. 2. We have had before us the annual reports of the county commissioners, the county treasurer and the county school commissioner. From an examination of these reports it appears that the county funds have been faithfully and honestlv disposed of, and that our nrvtr fnefina- nnA>i a VUUii U J UUUII O Wi V i?v u a vui/iai^ u^/v>> * sound and healthy financial basis. The school funds of the county have been equitably divided out to the various school districts of the. countv, and the public schools have been kept open as long as the school funds would allow. ' 3. That we have visited the county poor house, and are gratified to report that all of the inmates are provided for in a comfortable manner. The premises are kept in a neat, clean and healthy condition, and from all that has mme to our knowledge we tlvink that the keeper has honestly discharged his trust, giving to each inmate every comfort and attention that, under the circumstances, could be given or required at bis bands. "We found in the poor house a lady of delicate coustitn'ion, Mrs. Emma H. Perry, who is the mother of two children?a boy and girl. She is desirous of raising up her children outside of the poor house and is willing to undertake their maintenance if the same amount which they now receive is allowed her for that purpose out of the county funds. We j 4.x r ^ ?x I meieiuiu ruuuuiuiuiiu mat, iuu uviwii* I I commissioners allow her a monthly allowance, for the support of herself and children, equal to that which they now receive; and that they be discharged from the poor house. We find that each of the inmates of the poor house has cost the county, 011 a general average, only four dollars per mouth for the last year? maKing a total of forty-eight dollars per year for each inmate. 4. We have visited the other public buildings and offices of the county, and are gla'd to be able to report that each and all of them were found in good condition. The books of the various county officers are neatly and correctly kept, so far as we are able to judge from our examination of them. The county jail seems to be neat and clean, and the prisoners have been well led and attended to by tne snenn and his assistants. "\V"e desire to express, publicly, our high appreciation and commendation of the diligent, faithful and fearless services of our sheriff, Mr. Jno. D. McCarlev. It has been brought to our attention that several desperate characters have been brought to the bar of justice through his untiring diligence and vigilance, and that several felons from other counties and escaped convicts have been apprehended through his personal instrumentality; and we feel justified in saying that no lawless, desperate felon can take refuge in our county and escape arrest during his term of office. o. We have examined the books and records of the various trial justices of the county, and find them to be kept generally in a neat aud systematic manner.' We would specially commend the books of Trial Justices Neil and Coleman for neatness and accuracy. From an examination of the various books of the trial justices it will appear that a great many petit and trivial cases are brought before them for examination, and frequently sent tip to the Court of Sessions for trial. In many instances these cases UiU WllUVM*!/ IVUIIUai^lUU vav^J/v tlic malice of the prosecutor, and we desire to place on record our unqualified condemnation of this systematic prostitution of the courts of justice, in order to gratify personal motives at the expense of the taxpayers of the county. We think it would be far better for our trial justices to peremptorily dismiss all such cases. Although the trial justices claim that they generally "make costs" out of the parties, still we think that there is no justification for bringing numerous jurors and witnesses from their homes and business in order to dispose of such little, trivial eases under the forms of law. Frequently many cases are thrown out by the Solicitor for the simple reason that there is no proof sufficient to sustain the charge, and for all this the county is put to great expense, and jurors and witnesses are put to great inconvenience, with little or no remuneration. We think, therefore, that our trial justices should exercise a little more judicial discrimination and refuse to entertain any charge brought before them unless the same is well founded both in law and fact. G. We have, as your Honor instructed us, examined the jury list, and we find that many of the jurors are not such as we might desire. We therefore had the jury commissioner before us and from him we learn that there are about three hundred of our best citizens exempt from-jury duty by law, and that about one hundred and fifty are excluded by reason of service the previous year. "This is the first time at which the jury commissioner has acted since his appointment, and he claims that he is not famiUaLV^&iSff; the parties whose iiam^^re-jp?tmthe I box, but proEnseTto be mere rigid in the future. * ?T. -We have heard no complaints concerning the public roads, and from all information that has reached us we report tnem to ue m gooa con anion. 3. In conclusion, we are glad to welcome your Honor to our circuit again and desire to express our high appreciation of the valuable assistance and instructions given us in regard to our duties. S. W. Beooit, Foreman. The Court of General Sessions was adjourned sine die, and rhe Court of Common Pleas opened according to law. Letter from the Corporation Counsel. Rion's Law Office, ? Winnsboro, S.

J.V rrcc/to/oj uto/zu ^ Council: Dear Sib: I am in receipt of your letter of the 7th inst., in which you state "I am directed by the Town Council to get your opinion as that of their legal counsel, as to whether any special duties are devolved upon the Council in leference to enforcing the laws of the Stale against the selling of spirituous liquors, by the result of the election held under the 4Local Option Law1. Raid result heinor in favor of 'no license'." I have thoroughly investigated the subject, and am sorry to Lave to come to the conclusion that the Intendant and Wardens have no .duties other than those in their ex-officio capacity as Trial Justices. This duty is simply to arrest violators of the law, upon information, upon oath, of the law being violated. I will give some of my reasons. 1. This selling of liquors is not in itself a breach of the peace. 2. It violates 110 Town Ordinance. 3. It violates no provision of the Town Charter. A Pliorvfai' T XT rtf tlio f-Joviprnl ~X vua^l^l M-d t vx bliv vivmvimi Statutes imposes no duty upon a Town Council: but on the contrary (Section 1734) "specially charges the County Commissioners with the duty of obtaining information as to the violation of the provision of the Chapter, and with the duty of instituting pro?cutions therefor."
