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.

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.

?
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.

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 Germans are notoriously oeer '
drinkers, but, with the exception of
the Bavurians, th- y do not, on the ft
' average, consume as much lager a?
" the Belgians, In Munich, it is true, ? '
' each inhabitant during the year, tm
the average, drinks no less than 230
quarts of learning lager; but then
s that city is noted as the centre of la*
! ger beer drinking and brewing, and
as the place in particular where King 'l
! Gambrinus holds his court. The ^
average consumption of beer in Ger- b
I many is only 48 quarts per head, Q
while Belgium consumes 64 quarts to
- each inhabitant annually. Each inf
habitant of England aunually drinks b
1 21 quarts of beer, which is more thsn o
1 Austria, that is satisfied with 20- ii
' quarts pro persona. France somewhat n
abandons the beer in preference of
1 wine, and consumes only 18 quarts
' per capita during the year, and Swit- a
I zerland only 16 quarts. While the j
! largest and lending breweries of Eng- l(
1 land each produce from seventy to t|
! ninety million quarts of beer annually, f(
; the largest brewery in Germany (in
Munich) produces only about twentythree
million quarts; and the brewery .
in Austria has a rapacity of about
i thirty-eight million quarts p>*o anno. ^

Personal Property, hs, for tbe yeai
18tl, and remainbpen untilthe 20ib
day of August, 1871. The following
programme will be read Attentively,
and a Htrict adherence to instruction!
given therein will be neceskary.
The four centre Townships, Abbeville,
Long Cane, Cedar Springs and
Smitbville, wiil bo aascsved ut the
| court House between the first day oi
July, 1871, aud 20th August, 1871.
Assessors will be stationed at the
most public place of resort in Ninety
Six, Doualdsviile, Diamond Hill aud
Indian Hill, from the loth to the ltah
July inclusive.
Tb* same Assessors will also be
stationed at Greenwood, Due West,
LoWndcf ville and liordea-ix, from the
..17th to 22nd July inclusive, and
again at Wbite Hall, Cokesbury, Mag*
noita and Calhoun'* Mills, from 24th
to 29th July inclusive.
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

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
