Presentment of tie Grani Jor; To the Hoxftrable James L. On Presiding at the June Term 1871, of the Court of Genra Sessions for Abbeville Coun ty. The Grand Jury respectfully mak Vtl to 1 CJIV/I V Wo find the condition of the Coun ty much improved, that lawlessnes is on the decrease, and among allclas ses that there is an apparent tendency to maintain and obey tho laws. Th general deportment of tho laboring classes and their almost universal re turn to steady work, is marked ah< worthy, of commendation, whiid .ttl other classos are not behind in the} efforts at good irdcr and to brin^ abont a proper re&pect for the laws. We find tho Jail is well kept, bu insecure for want of locks, and rc commend that they be supplied. In the Clerks office we find $155 11 'casft on hand. We recommcnd tha ? noonmrtnto Ka fti 4iUUlblUV>IHI VftCV/lJlVuio vw ?ui iiivmvv for security of books and papers o value. Wo find no objection to the mannei in which the Sheriff's office i< kept. Tho cost of books fbr tho Auditor^ office wo regard as unueeossarity extravagant. Tho books and accounts of the School Commissioners office aro Well kept* .When we visited his office wc found the Commissioner himself in i state of beaatly and gros3 intoxication. Wo regard him as wholly in competent and utterly unfit for the position. IIo has failed entirely to visit many of the schools in the County, and he has visited none as tho law directs. We. most earnestly disapprove ol th?? exorbitant charges of the County Commissioners. We find that Arthur J offer ion has overdrawn his pay for the year, and recommend that this matter be investigated. We regard Arthur Jefferson a? altogether incompetent. The roads of the County are generally in naa condition; me bridges nt Rocky River and Patterson's Bridge over Long Cane need repairs. The inmates of tho Poor llouse seemed to be well eared for, but the general management of the farm in not good. Wo find five able-bodied hirelings on tho farm, tbeir wages amounting in the aggre?^to to $440, "besides boitig fed at the'puMlC expense, and we are of opinion that ^.,,e present crop will not pay half of its expenso. Up to this time; tho expense* of the Poor House amount to 32,600, not including wages of the iliands. There arc thirly-six inmates, and the pncee paid for supplies most exorbitant. Wo re?omn?end that ?ome chango bo mado in the care of the Poor, either that tho establishment be turned into a hospital, or be let oat to the lowest responsible J?jddcr. In one month we find the expenditures for spirituous liquors $18.59. We urgo upon all officers the strict enforcement of the laws in reference to vagrants. The Probate office is in good order. 4338 on hand. Two Will books should be rebound. ' * In the last three years wo find that 857,344.91 have been collected in taxes for County .purposes, and that $55,788.97 have been paid out, leaving a balance of *1,555.94. . Wo report the wooden building adjoining ihe Court House as a.nuisance. TV J_ :?,J u :IL # ....?? At IS UVt'UpiUU UJ IT.UlliVll VI III-1WII1V, *nd gjme measures should bo taken to suppress the establishment. We recommend that a new room 1)0 .provided for the Grand Jury, or the one formerly usod by them be iittod up for thoir use and benefit. We think that assessing and colfleeting the taxes of the County can be arranged so as to cost the County not more than #1,500 per annum, costing now $5,55'.). TriaJ Justice J. R Tarrant "has been charged with malpractice in office. Trial Justice M. Kapban is subject to the same charge. We fiud the claims of Trial Jostic< D. U. Hawthorn against the Conntj from March to the 1st June, 1871 amount to $-t3$.S0 Wo regard sncl claims us intolerable. The chief cause of any disorder ii .our County arises from incompeten .and drunken officers, and their uuwis .course in arresting offenders. \V ^eall upon all officers of th.e law t deputize only such as are sober an< judicious, and who understand th dutjes of officers. Wo return thanks to his Ilouo Judjje Orr, and Solicitor Perry, fo their kindness. JAMES McCASLAN, Foreman, EXPLANATORY CARD. . In the above i'resentmcnt, th Graud Jury have fallen into an errc in estimating the surp'us of Count fund* in the hands of the Treai urer at $1,555,94. This error hs been caused by not taking into th ??timate the amount of Pay Certif it [rates which have been taken u in 1870 and 1871, and which, thoug not reported to the Board of Count "> Commissifoners, is supposed to be a L, least $2,000 From this statement^ i | would appear that so far from ther . being a surplus in the hands of til Treasurer to the credit of the Count; of $1,555.94, there is an indebteduca 0 of at least 0500. ROBERT JONES, V Clerk B. C. C. ? The Tax Law. r 6 Mr. D, H Chamberlain the Attor 3 ney-General in response to a letter o j inquiry irom Messrs. Pope & Haskell j put the following oonstructi n-'ipor certain sections of the Tax-Law: p 4 "You call my attention to Section! t 108 and 117, and you say : 'Let ui suppose the property to bo wortl t ?1,000, and to be assessed at thai * value; the tax due thereon for thi yeat* 1871 Would bo just $14, for the 8tato and County. 8nppose at the 1 tax sale, some person should find it it t his interest to uurehase the property 1 and should bid 1500 for ifj in case oi f redemption, Ithder the Act, upon what is the 25 per cent, penalty during th*. first year, or the 60 per cent, penalty r during the second year, charged? f upon 614 tax or upon the tfiUU pUJ* chase money? If the owner is not f able to redeem *(a? 'n nteny cases hi may not be) what becomes of tht $486 purchase money over and above the tax due to the Slate?" > I think the difficulty suggested in | the foregoing extract from 3-0111- letter ) will bO removed when you examine the exact language of Section 108 1 The sale of lands for delinquent taxe? is not made for money, but the sale it made to ''the person then and then offering to pay the taxes, assessments ( and penalties charged thereon for tin least property thereof." Thus, for ex ! ample, if a tract of land is assessed 1 Sl,0!i0. and the State and County lax thereon amount to $14, the bidder, at r the sale, must state for how much ol that tract, either in leet or acres, ar tho case may bo, he will pay the taxes, with the penalties and charge? ' thereon, and the party thus bidding, i who shall name the least quantity ol land, will be the purchaser of that amount of'property -which he shall name in his hid. You will thus sec that there is no "purchase money" in the case. Now, when we come ^o the redemption of this property, it is rc quired that the party desiring to re^ deem shall deposit with the County Treasurer a sum equal to tho amount for which such rial estate was sold, with ull the legal charges ->aid by the purchaser at the sale, and subsoguent taxes paid by such purchaser, lii? heirs or assigns, and 25 per cent, penalty thereon, and the value of the growing crops, if any there are, etc. J Or, if the person desires to redeem (the land after the expiration of one 'vear, he shall deposit with the County Tr??uurcr a sum of money equal to that to." which such real estate was sold and M*?8 subsequently paid thereon by tho ^art-baser, and' 50 per cent, penalty thereon. . ^ understand the penalty in each of .4bese cases to refer to the taxes paid by P"r' chaser after the sale. Thus, h VPC tax upon the land purchased at a liuquent sale shall be $10 for the first t.hft notmlfu trt h? nuiil hn ?hn j~?i -r- r; . j ,r i?7 .r person desiring tn redeem within one year would be *2 59, or, if he delayed until tho expiration of one year, the penalty would bo $5 upon the same tax. No New Departure. The Baltimore Sun in a recent issue, thus speaks of the alleged "new departure" of the Democratic party: "The 'new departure,' so-called, of the Ohio Democracy is simply a re-affirmance and application to the issues of the hour of the original principles of govern men t. They were the popular principles, supported and believed iu by a majority of the Atnericatre. until the war. "J ' During the great struggle, and the unsettled, anxious time which followed the actual cessation of hostilities, new doctrines, never before heard of or countenanced by American jurists or statesmen, found favor with the leaders of the Republican party, and the practice of the Government underwent a great change. But the theory of \he Government remains the same, and 1 and the Constitution is unchanged, except by the new amendments? i and these, In the opinion o^ the best consritutioual lawyers, furnish i no more warrant for the legislative extravagancies of modem Radicalj ism thau is to be found in that instrument without them. The Ku ' Klux bill and the bayonet election Jaw are in violation of the Consti* tution as amended. Consequently the true vantage ground for the n conservative element of the com: t try, in it* contest with Kadicalism e 18 the platform of the Oonstitutioi e ?of the whole Constitution?tak D ir.git as it w, with all its amend ments. All that'the Ohio Democ racy have done in their resolution e is to occupy this ground, in term so plain as to leave no room for th r imputation that tfey are engage* r in fighting the Constitution. This as we have said, is the old Demo cratic position, and no 'new depart ure;' and if it be desirable toquot the authority of any man for th position, Mr. Jefferson's claims t be considered the author of th 'departure' considerably ante-dat e i-Vifl Into Mr. Vullundisrham's. r _ ^ y ( ? 5_ A tornado at Scranton, Indian* carried a house ten rods, killing 18 raan and severely wounding his so e and daughter, besides hurting fiv i- others.

' II I " "f 111 II :l P The Republican Nominee for Grverror , h of Oiiio. . i y t The Ohio republicans yesterday 1 t nominated General Noyes for Gov- * ernoron the first ballot, Ben Wade's t 0 name being withdrawn as aoou as f it was presented, and there being e Y no other nominee in the field. c 8 Seuator Sherman made a speech at c a ratification meeting in the even- i ing, in which he accepted the Dem- ? ocratic new departure as an acqui- ' escence of the enemy in the righ- a teoua policy and performances of 1 the republican party; but he dis- F trusted the will and ability of the ^ new departure democrats to carry t f out republican principles so well as t , the republicans themselves have L ) carried them out. General Noyes, n the nominee, is not considered a t 5 very strongman, his principalqual- t< i ification, apparently, being the <1 i 1033 of a leg in the war; but the e t sanguine party man express the nt- s: s most confidence in the success of 11 the ticket, although they aamit s that Noyes may not be able to' poli . ' the full vote. Old Ben Wade in- tj ' sisted upon shelving himself, his c heart being bent mainly upon en- 8j ; joying the solaces of private life or ri . securing the seat in The Senate that tl .

The above method of awessrocnt has been adopted in order to give the tax-payers an opportunity to make correct returns upon oath,, at hereafter no abatement* Will be grauted except in cases where* cleric*!^errors occur. It is also the duty of | every tax-payer to see that those ' who appear dillatory in making their ! returns are urged to do.so,, and if not tn the Oou'ntv" Audlfor V VMVM. ?? who will immediately execute the taw. which provides thai where a Taxpayer fails to make his return to, the Conntjr Auditor, (or his deputy ) within the time prescribed by law, the last return made by Said Tax-payer will be copied from the Auditor's hooks and 50 percent. added thereto, and in case* where Tax-payers escaped paying their taxes for any one year, the penalty quoted in See. 47th, special Session 1868, will be strictly adhered to, which provides for the same penalty as in the above case. I would also suggest, that parties making returns would contrive to attend the Assessors on different dates, as confusion occasioned by a large number of Taxpayers at the close of the Assessors' (given time, may occasion many disaI innA ?n fp_ ? glCOaViV vnvig ?v ?uv AOA" payers aud ABsenaors a groat deal of unnecessary trouble.
