Tho Judge in his charge to the Grand i
Jury., adverted to the increase of Crime!.
In the County, a9 apparent from the
pending business of the Term, and j j
pledgad his earnest co-oj?eration with i
' the juries of the County, in enforc'ngJ
the law asrainst wrong-doers and thus
* checking the progress of the evil. .He:
attributed a large amount of thecrhneand !
HAmnmiization. to the existence of two ,
crying .evils?the drinking of bad! J
whiskey, and the practice of carrying!j
deadly, weapons.. The one inflames
?very badpa3<ion of the heart, and crazes j j
the brain,* whilst the Qlher puts in j t
thehand of the man inflamed with drink j
the ready means of inflicting an irrepara-!
^ble wrong upon the person of another, I
and.which he repents in his first sober!
moments. The necessity of some lepris-! ^
lation with regard to carrying deadly j
weapons, had often he said, b?en!
brought to the attention of the Genera!,
^.wcnvjiy, but without effoct. A pre-:'
nentment he thought, by the juries of 1
the Country, might perhaps, havo sonio
effect.
A* the Grand Jury wai nowly organ- *
teed, his Honor after defining the char- |
acterof the off-mces charged in tno o.-us
presented to their consideration, dwelt
jit 9.on>e length upon the ganeraJ ^cope '
of their duties. Hs recited the terms of '
the oath taken by them, and adverted *
tojts very stringent nature and comprehensive
charaeter. lie advised that
where crime had been committed, and a
prima facie showing bad been made
asrainSt the party charged, that a true f
)>11I b* fo mi, ail a party put upon j
vindication before i j?etit jury. This
be thought more satisfactory to the party
bimselfvas well a^njore conducive to j
the onds of public justioe.
In reviewing their duties, ha alluded e
to the all imi>ortant one of supervising 1
the conduct of county officials?the j
County'Commissioners especially, who
are now vested with the powers former- yr
ly conferred upon the Commissioners of
IV>ach, of the Poor, of Public Buildings, "
and to approve Official Bonds. Thcfe 1
powers might be made the instrument ;
of great oppression, and needed strict 1
scrutiny and constant supervision. The 1
Jadgo referred to tfie very great differ- '
ence in the amounts charged in the per- 1
aonal accounts of the Commissioner* !
themselves in-the sevetfh Counties. In
Anderson, for instance, these aggregate
6omo 54 or $-300, whilst in Greenville,
with nearly the same area -and populal
iion these expenses amount to some
.$1,500.
The State is well-represented by the
tefficient young Solicitor, Win. H. Per

LEGISLATIVE. . |J.
The. subject of chief Legislative inter-jj
ast during the past week has been the ;<
election of a judge of the 7th circuit, j11
The election was held on Thursday, the (
lGth,.and on the lirst baHot the votes'!
j 1
stood: Montgomery Moses, 50; W. E. !c
Earle, 34; J. C. Winsmilh, 27; Simeon j'
Fair, 13. Total voting, l'V.). Sixty-six jj
being necessary to a choice, the chair j
declared no election, and ordered second :i
election. j1
I q
During the call on the second ballot
considerable confusion existed on the j
lloor, .and members leaving seats and)
electioneering in all parts of the hall, jAtthc
clo.^e of the Call, the friends oftj
Winsmith and Fair, with a few exccp-j
Lions, changed their votes to Moses and; t
liarle, and at the time the chair staled in
the vote there was strong indication of a ; H
ijeueral row, which was, however, pre- j t
vented by the decisive action of Mr. j
Montgomery in declaring the election.' c
The following is the official vote on "the' r
second ballot: Motes, 74; Earl, 49; Win- j
smith, 7; Fair, 3. Same numbers vol- (|
ing as on first ballot. 1 c
During the next day quite an exciting;
Jebate occuiTcd in both Houses; on a y,
proposition to declare the election void, J t<
ind lo expunge the proceedings from the
journal. Finally a resolution was asl;*p;ed
nullifying the election, and also providing
for a new election on the -1st
list. [See the result elsewhere.] ^
Among the new bills iutroduc.-J in the
House is one creating a sterling funded

Trie State Lunatic Asylum.?Dr.^(
Ensor, Superintendent, ha* addressed
letter to his Excellency Governor Scott, i"
getting forth the present condition ofj
the State Lunatic Asylum. Dr. Elisor,^
states that there are In the Asylum one:.
hundred and seventeen patients from Is
twentj'-nine counties. These^countiesi?
are in arrears about S'?'),01f), and hut for
the kindness of a few merchants, the!
institution would have been closed.! J
Ho calls for State aid immediately, and. |
alleges as a strong reason that the form-; j
er generosity of the merchants has been ! *
curtailed so much, that only one in Col-;'
umbia is willing to credit auj' longer.
S&* At Binghamton, New York,! |
there is an institution for the reform of, j
inebriates and from the report-of the
Superintendent it appears, that of the
patients who have been treated in the t
Anylum within the la->t two and h'alfi
years, sixty-three percent, have been.5
permanently cured. In this fconneetion, |0
the Baltimore. Amcrimn wiys thjVt, "con- i
sidering that none but the most despor- c
