Investigation in this department has been in progress for several months and the present scut is'the result of it. The Virginia campaign groves more !H? I interesting every day. Many Kepnb-1 S v Jicans are coming over to the Democratic hosts?among them Gen. Wickham. _ Jno. S. Wise, who takes every opportunity to slander his native State, has been taken to task for it by a prominent gentleman, and in a speech afterwards was not so violent as usual ~ Prestoext Diaz, in Ms message to the Chamber of Senators, speaks particularly of the friendly relations existing between Mexicp and the United States, and that the return of the Democratic party to power after a quarter . of a century has caused novariation in the political friendship (existing between both countries. In some parts of the country the Democratic party does not take so well to cmf service reform as now prac ucea . ?y me .axuiuuisirauvu. i?umany .in New York has declared against it and the Maryland Democracy chimes in with the same time. The . "outs" have been o*t so long that it is no wonder they are a little anxions about getting in. A bill to take from the Hailroad Commission the power of fixing rates Bbas recently passed the Georgia Senate. JfSgtc; It was hotly contested, bnt the bill was passed hy a handsome majority. The prospects are that it will meet with a good deal of opposition in the Honse. MThe bill in its present shape only gives the Commissioners a right to bear complaints. " ** ' ? ' ?

The bloated monop- J oly has drawn the cords tight around her citizens and all efforts to bnrst them have proved ineffectual. . Lxxch law under any. cercnmstances I is tobe deplored, and. all law-abiding citizens-Kill approve the coarse of tbe - sheriff of Spartanburar in foiling the attempt of a. mob to hang two prisoners confined in the jail at tbat place. The laws of the land are still supreme a?d effective, and until they become a dead letter there is no palliation or excuse ior any body of men to take upon themselves to vindicate it, A LEADQftr exchange suggests that the duelling law be so amended as not to include editors, while another suggests that the Legislature make an appropriation to purchase a cemetery. While tbe lie is passed at such long range we hardly think anything of the kind necessary. From what baspassea we Ekrdly think any. of the parties would take advantage of an amendment to the duelling law, and the cemeg?g|gp|g^: tery can be prepared in proper time. ' _?- ?_ Fob some time various attempts have been made to run a yacht race between the American boat Puritan and the English Genesta. The race was for the American cup and' has created much interest in New York and other cities., The Puritan, has won the best two out of three, and consequently the cup will remain in America. There seems to be great rejoicing in New York and Boston over the victory of the Yankee crafL as much even as if it was a success at arms. "We are pained to see some of our journalistic brethren living in discord. First comes the Spartanburg Herald and the 21fetes and Courier, who passed the lie from one- to the other. Then the Register pitched a bomb into the 2fews and Courier camp, which wss promptly answered. Then our Anderson contemporary, the Intelligencer, got into a rew with Senator Moore about prohibition. "How pleasant a thing it is and how becoming well for brethren to dwell together in abity." The difficulty noted in these columns between Major Murray and Senator Moore, of Anderson, culminated in a free fight with pistols on the streets of Anderson. The editor escaped onin> ssr - ,-v .-. >. .- ~ < ' ' - ''.-v*'-'"7^:^ ." * "... 7 > ""! ; W; jured, but the Senator was slightly wounded in the thigh. It is a very deplorable circumstance that two such men should have occasion to settle their difficulty in such a manner. Both being public men they might have given their constituents a more worthy example and settle -the difficulty as their mutnal friends attempted to do. Fkom all parts of the State comes extraordinary demands for teachers. It is said that of recent graduates at the South Carolina College fifty per cent, are engaged in this profession. The proportion is certainly as great when other institutions are taken in consideration. For a young man this is the most Iacrative and improving profession in the whole catalogue, and we arc glad to see so many young men devoting their talents to it. The need is certainly great and the workers are not too many. In a recent article on the negro question the Rev. R. "W. Memminger, of Charleston, made the statement that old slave-holders were surprised that the negro could read or write. We can't say where Mr. Memminger derived his information on that point, but he certainly is in error. Many ^ ^r?r?? fViftt fon/vt.f WUIU/ UiUlU^ UiUl MAU^UV the negro both, to read aud write, leaving out the question whether he could or not. We do not see how there could possibly be any doubt on that point, when so many were taught to do so. In a recent issue of the Dixie Magazine of Atlanta appeared an article alleged to "have been written by Saml. J. Randall, of Pennsylvania. The article in question spoke of the desirability of a revision of the tariff and a total abolition of the internal revenue taxes. This is extremely- interesting if it comes from 3Ir. Randall, who is the apostle of protection and who has been so zealous in defending the present tariff rates. The article smacks somewhat of free trade, and Mr. Randall was quick in denying its authorship. The Dixie Company on the other hand produce affidavits tending to fasten the authorship upon him. At a mftfifcinor of the National Mexi can Veterans' Association at Indianapolis last week a resolution was adopted expressing the hope that Congress would at its next session recognize the surviving veterans who fought so nobly in the Mexican war, and give them that justice that they so richly deserve. Many of them are destitute, and it is to be hoped that the next session of Congress will -give them such a pension as befit their services. It would cheer them in their last days. The money would cever be missed, and it would be a just recognition of their services and show them that they occupy a warm place in the Nation's heart. Besides assisting them it would show that our common conntry has not forgotten their valor and bravery in that struggle, and that they contributed to some of the brightest pages of American history. A correspondent of the Columbia Record has suggested that a prize drill and parade be made one of the fear tures of the feir this year, and for all succeeding years if successful. He also suggests that a prize be given to the best drilled company in the State, and then, in order to give the country militiamen a chance, he suggests that a gecond prize be given to be competed for by companies outside of the cities of Charleston, Greenville and Columbia. The inference is that the best drilled companies will come from these points, but it should be remembered that though the Gordon Light Infantry does not hail from either of the three cities it has always come out of such eontests at the bead of the column. We think the suggestion a good one, however, and we hope that a militaz-y parade will be made one of the features of the fair?and we venture to predict that if the Gordons take part in it a prize to the three cities will be in order, but it will be somewhat in the nature of a consolation stake. * Foe some time past the Liberal party of England seemed on the verge of a serious rupture. After Gladstone's retirement, Chamberlain, Hartin?ton and Harcoort, all ambitious men, began to pull apart, and each one carried with him a large following. It seemed then .only a matter of time until the party would be seriously ruptured, and all eyes were turned to the ex-primier as the only man to unite them and carry the party on to victory. It was thought that he had retired from public life, but when it became necessary to the success of the party he again entered the-arena, probably with the understanding that the three ambitious leaders would submit to his guidance. His recent address has had a wonderful influence, securing instentaneous restoration of unity in the party and encouraging it in the com* ing political contest. This document shows the power of the man and that he has lost none of his influence in his party. One of the issues which will come up at the next session of Congress, and which at present prorolseys to overthrow the tariff will be the silver question. Warner, of Ohio, is considering the advisability of introducing at the next session a compromise bill, but Bland and Reagan say they will j stand uncompromisingly by the "Bland j dollar", and at present both sides appear determined to make a bold fight. President Cleveland, soon after his election, defined bis position on the question, and the fight now seems to have narrowed down to an anministrative and an anti-administrative faction. It is not reasonable to suppose that the President has altered his position since bis famous anii-silver letter, and the administrative faction is jubilant over that fact. This sitnation places Speaker Carlisle in a very unpleasant position. He must take a stand either apou the one side or the other, which can readily be judged ?1 ii? r.. ? ,7 wiicii iue wuumuees sue appwuicu. From all that can be gathered he seems j in sympathy with the President's views ?that an unlimited coinage of silver dollars is dangerous. The question is one which has received the attention of business men all over the country, and being one which interests the finances of the whole people the fight promises to be an exceptionally interesting one. THE GRJXD JURY'S ItEFORl'. An Exhaustive Statement of the Matters Considered by Thorn. To the Honorable, Joseph B. Kershaw, Presiding Judge: The grand jury, having passed upon all the bills submitted to them during niwcont fot"m Hoor Iogtto tiattt ir\ LLtV lA/AUJj WQ AVMI V **V T? fc-V submit their final presentment. We have examined the offices of the County Commissioners, the Treasurer, the Auditor, the School Commissioner, the Judge of Probate, the Sheriff, and the Clerk of this Court, This examiiion has been necessarily superficial, and while its results are satisfactory to us, yet we deem it proper that a more thorough investigation be made? this as much as a measure of justice to the officials themselves as a means of information to the people of the County. "We therefore recommend that a committee of three of our body, to be appointed by your Honor, be charged with the duty of making, during the vacation of the Court, a thorough examination into the several public offices and reporting thereon at the next term of this Court. The committee should be authorized to employ an expert, should they sec fit to do so. The County jail is in its usual excelIeut condition, and the prisoners have been properly cared for. A committee of our body visited the County Poor House, and they report tbe institution in good condition. The inmates are all provided for. Of these there are 23?seven white adults, four white children, nine colored adults, and three colored children. The farm appears to have been well attended, and a fair crop has been made. There are thirteen acres in corn, which will average about ten bushels, and a good quantity of fodder hps been saved. The crop of cotton will be about a bale and a half. There are two and a half acres in potatoes, and a good crop of these will be gathered. The wheat crop amounted to forty-five bushels. The mule is in good condition, and there are four hegs to be killed this fall. The garden has been well attended, with good results. The build* ?n rmr\r\ rtAn^ifiAn' Qn/^ fKo Cki All lA/uuibiVii) auu tuv establishment generally bespeaks care and industry on the part of the Keeper and his assistants. One of the colored inmates of the Poor House our committee found to be a lunatic, in such a state as to necessitate the employment of a person ro watch him constantly. Steps should be taken to have this lunatic commited to the State asylum. We are informed by Mr. M.H. McGrady, the Keeper of the Poor House, of conduct on the part ot Mr. James Gr. Heron, one of the County Commissioners, which we feel constrained to bring to the attention of the Court, It appears that abont twelve o'clock on the night of the 7th July of the present year, Mr. Heron visited the Poor House in a state of intoxication, remaining there till the morning of the 8th July, when he sent a messenger to __ I* I. 1 Jtu age way ior wmssey ior nis own use. We are informed that Mr. Heron nest came to Winnsboro, but returned to the Poor House oh the 9th July, again iu a state of intoxication. On this occasion, it is alleged, Mr, Heron behaved in an improper ana insulting manner to the Keeper and his wife? finally undertaking to discharge the Keeper from his place, and himself taking the keys to "Winnsboro. In consequence .of thisjlatter proceeding, we are informed, the inmates were compelled to go without dinner on the day of the taking away of the keys. Without undertaking in any way. to characterize Mr. Heron's, conduct, or to pass any judgment upon him, we recommend such investigation of the charges made against him as the nature of the case may, in the judgment of the Court, seem "to demand, We have examined the books of Trial .Triftfir*ps "Wml. Mlftnn. Cathcart, McCrorey, Thomas, Biggins and Hollis, and we find them neatly arid properly kept. Trial Justices Johnston, Evans, Douglass and Entzminger have not submitted their books during the present term. . We call the attention of the County Commissioners to the condition of the bridge jnst beyond the residence of Mr. Saml. Cathcart, and the bridge just beyond tfce residence of Mr. John Vinson, on the Chester road. Both these bridges are said to be in bad order.., r We, the grand jury, do hereby present James G. Heron and James h, Richmond, members of the board of County-Commissioners, for habitual drunkenness, and we name the following persons as witnesses to prove the charges to wit?'Thos. K. Elliott, David R.Flenuiken, J. M. Beaty, R. E. Ellison, John D. McCarley and F. Gerig. The attention of the County Commissioners is called to the condition of the roof of the Court House. We notice that there are several leaks in this roof, which should be repaired at once. The grand jury are informed by Messrs. N. C. Robe-tson, J. "W. McOants and Wm. R. Ra'ob that money has been unnecessarily expended on the-Columbia road, at a place just beyond Allen's Branch. It is stated that no" work has been , done on this road by the hands of that section for more than twelve months past. We would recommend, in this cons nectioh, that' the County Commissionex's pay no money for repairs on any road unless ibe " twelve days' work, provided by law, shall first have beeu done thereon by the regular road hands. When the building-of bridges or the blastnig of rock becomes necessary, this class of work should invariably be let. out, by contract, to the lowest bidder. A committee of the errand iurv have examined the bonds of the different Comity officials, and they believe the sureties thereor to be good, and the County safe from loss. "We have gravely considered the remarks of his Honor the presiding Judge, in his opening charge, touching alleged violations of the law by bands of persons styling themselves?or termed by others?"'Regulators". Beyond the statements made by the presiding Judge, and the accounts which have been published in the newspapers, we have no information upon this subject. It seems to be the general belief that toese "Regulators" have gone quite beyond the pale of the law, and tkis, btirelv, must be cause of profound re gret, not to say the deepest concern, to all law-abiding and order-loving people. Were we in possession of the facts necessary as the foundation of any presentment?had we any information which we could shape into a suggestion?we should not hesitate to bring the matter to the immediate attention of the Court. Bat these facts and this information are alike wanting in the present instance. Much as we regret our inability to set in metion the machinery of the law, fbr the punishment and suppression of the acts to which your Honor has alluded, we are yet gratified to know : ' ' w ' . ' ' ' ^ - that all the ordinary agencies of the law, for the correction of any evils, arc here in easy reach of every citizen, from the highest to the lowest. -The course of justice, as administered by out- officials, of whatever rank, is alike untainted by corruption and unimpeded by personal consideration. We doubt not that upon complaint made by the alleged victims of the unlawful acts of the so-called "Regulators", any and all of our magistrates will promptly issue the warrant proper npon the information given under oath. That warrant in the hands of the proper officer would find prompt and easy execution. While, as we have said, we deplore and condemn the resort to any means other than lawful means for the correction of auv evil, however great, we are yet glad to be able to congratulate the people of the county upon the assurance they may feel that the law is yet supreme, and that its enforcement is yet unattended with delay or with difficulty. Your Honor having, in that portion of your charge touching the conduct the'so-callek "Regulators", allnded to the alleged causes of their unlawful proceedings, we may be permitted to add a word upon this head. If it is true, as has been stated in the public prints, that miscegenation is the evil that has thus tempted the citizen to take the law in his own hands, we are confronted with a condition of things scarcely less deporable than the means alleged to have been employed by these "Regulators". If, as has been stated, the victims of these alleged outrages are white meu who have been living in adultery with negro women, in this fact we may find a sufficient cause, though it is no excuse, for the lawless^ ness in question. In that cause, we are confronted with an evil that is at once an insult to our civilization and a standing menace to our social order. "While condemning a resort to unlawful means to rid society of those-who thus do violence to every consideration of duty and decency, it is nevertheless oar desire to urge snch an enforcement of the law as will accomplish what it is said these "Regulators" seek to bring about. Let the law .against adultery be so amended, if practicable, as to remove the difficulties now attending the proof of the act of adultery. Let the facts nccessary. to constitute the crime be made easier to be adduced in the court-house. Let some official be specially charged with the detection and reporting of offenders of . this class. Above all, let there' be that condition of public sentiment which shall render the commission 'of "such offences a sure means of forfeiting Social, recognition as well as the privileges of good citizenship, In such .a state of feeling, we doubt not the evils complained of would speedily disappear, without the lawless intervention of the so-called "Regulators". "We extend our thanks to the presiding Judge and the Solicitor for assistance extended to us in the discharge of our duties. V We recommend that this presentment be ordered to be published in the county paper. All of which is respectfully submitted. J. X). Hogan, Foreman. mm Wise Bullied In Danville. While in Danville on Snnday it is said that John S. Wise, the Republican nominee for Governor of Virginia, was called on by Dr. Temple, of that place, and charged with slandering the people of Danville. Dr. Temple, it is said, offered to go with Mr. Wise to a room and settle the matter. Captain Wise declined to do so, but said he woald communicate with Dr. Temple later. Dr. Temple is a prominett physician of Danville and. noted for his personal courage as well as hi? modesty. Wise delivered his dfcmpaign speech at Martinsville, thirtyseven miles from Danville, the day after this interview, but to the surpriw of his political friends failed to d?noaoGe the panyille people for the riot. ?A smooth complexion can be had by every lady who will use Parker's Tonic.

A Railroad Wreck. The south bound freight train on the Richmond and Danville railroad on Wednesday went through a bridge over Coddle creek, fifteen miles from Charlotte, N. C. Twenty-three box cars, with their contents of merchandise, were totally wrecked, and two unknown men, supposed to have been tramps, were killed. Firemen James Davenport and Will Owens wentdown in the wreck and were severely hut not fatally injured- The farce of construction were repairing the bridge and sent ont a. flag to warn the approaching train. The distance, however, was too short, the train being heavily loaded, and the engineer could not stop it before reaching the bridge. In attempting to stop, the steam chest on one side blew out. The accident delayed travel for a day or two. A Wonderful Discovery.
