I Tb3 Land Commission Fraud 0*^ of tho most interesting chapters of the rtoporfc of the Joint Legislative Committee of which Mr. "Whlttemore is chairman, i* that which exposes the frauds of the Land Commission. Almost every provision of the Ordinance ' 1 -I1 T 1 I creating tne x>oaru 01 ojuuu v?mjuiosioners, and of tho Acts regulating its operations lmd been violated, and all the fa'cguards which they were designed to throw* around the management of its friends have been disregarded ; and as a j consequence hundreds of thousands of i .dollars of the public funds have been ' xvnfcted with no other result than to en-: rich a number of rapacious plunderers at the expense of tho public Treasury, As the Land Commissioner could not net without tHc authority of the Advisory Board consisting of the Governor and Attorney General, both in the purchase and sale of property, they are properly responsible for all his official acts, and cannot avoid their full share of liability. One of the most flagrant violations of law as shown In the Report, is in the, over-isauc of 'State bonds in behalf of! the Land Commission. The whole, a mount authorized tobe issued by thcAets I of 1SG9 and 1870 was $700,000 in bonds of the State, signed by the Governor and countersigned by the Comptroller. But ihe whole amount expanded by the Land! Commission, cot in the bonds of the State, but in money, ha3 amounted to; ^ 740,724,"7; and to raise this sum the Ixnds have been sold at less than sixtv i ! cents on the dollar, in violation of the; clearest provisions of the law, and at an! expense of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the State. Another provision of Lhe law is, that, the rate of purchase shall not exceed three-fourths of the value of the land' purchased, including improvements thereon, whereas the State has been; charged at the most exorbitant rates for the lands purchased, in some cases ten times its true value, and this csctss has not been paid to the seller but has gone to swell thepock<'t3 of the State official.' On this point the Committee say "they hi.ve gathered from the rceorua of the Clerks of the Courts and letters of coiv respondents, little to encourage a belief) that the State has valid titles to one half the land purchased by the Land Commission; more than this, a large propor-j tion of the land paid for is eitlu i inacccssible, or so poor thattlic clcss' of people, for whom the publicj lands were intended, vill not be anxious | to nettle, or able, out of the products of; such lands, to pay for them even in the time provided by law, Tho statement j will bear reiterating, that the Laud j C'cinin'rislon and its ojxjrations havej b'.'j'? rr. oumgeousjand enormous swin :!??, ar.d theonly satisfaction or comfort '"> raopie of tne Sti.ce can take i3, J h..\ more than thp ?irr.c*:'.? jtiibc;' y lav.*, 'the j ;/-ir??ose c?. tli-- L ur-i .nii-io.i' have .

This report he has ; lover ni.id". and neither from his books,' noiii h'-^c of (hp Treasurer, can the amount of expenditures by the commission bo! ascertained. The studied concealment which has characterized all the operations of the Land Commission, would indicate in itself their fraudulent purpose, whilst the facts already elicited, show their sweeping extent and unblushingcharac-i ter, The Geeejtwood and Augusta P.ailkoad.?We publish in another column the proceedings of the late meeting at Chiles' Cross ltoads in behalf of j this enterprise in which the citizens of the lower section of our District are so much interested.

Tin* "Ouitata" was a representation of, "!;?w Year's Eve'' in three parts. Inj the ti'.vt.

The principal characters were personated, by beautiful young ladies, who to to the charms of graceful acting addedthe attractions of poetry and mu-ic. The "Old Year" was represented by Miss Louis Crier? the "Young Year," by , ?"Old Father Time" by Miss "Walker ?"Spring," "Summer," "Autumn," and "Winter," respectively by the Mbs.s Walker, Young, Saxon, and Pitchford? "Christmas" and "Santa Clacs," hy Masters Bonner and Kennedy. Miss Morse, the accomplished music teacher presided at the piano, and Miss Nixon sung with her usual grace?giving "the last rose of summer, with striking,cffect. The whole affair is said to have passed ( off most creditably and most pleasantly. FAREWELL SERMON, On Sunday last, tho congregation of Trinity Church had the privilege of en joying the ministrations of.tho Rev. W. j P. DuBosc, the retiring Rector, and of i the Rev. Edward R. Miles, his success-j or, accompanied with all the painful emotions which attend the separation from a beloved and esteemed minister. The farewell sermon of Mr. DuBose was touching in the extreme?in the simple artless feeling to which he referred 1o the j unbroken hanuony of his foar years' pastorate here?to which lie said, that he should look look back, like the thirsty traveller to the palm trees and water springs of the green oasis of the desert? as well as in the sage counscl and welltimed admonitions with which he adverted to the duties and responsibilities which lie before us. To his succcssor, ho said, that lie could wish no hotter offering at the hands of the congregation, (jiti;i the love and confidence, which had been bestowed upon himself, and which 1 he trusted would ho made to jLdd a richer jet urn under his ministry. The choice <>f a successor by tiio congregation had been his choice, and thepuin of separation had been in a largo measure; assuaged by the reflection that he would* have the Parish in the hands of one, j who Harmonized with him in doctrine, and would at least equal him in zeal. *j To his wido and responsible field of j labor in the University of the South, the j beloved Rector of Trinity Church car-| rios with him the heartfelt wishes of the' congregation and of our entire commu-J nitv, for the success of his ministry and i the happiness of himself and family. I To his successor the Rev. Mr. Miles,! they extend a cordial greeting and their: best wishes. Welcome the Coming, Srrxn the Parting Guest.?By reference to (lie list of Conference appointments which we publish in another column, it will be ! seen that the Rev. Geo. F. Round, thej Pastor of the Methodist Church here has! lii'pn nssjio-nof] fr> thofihnreo of the Con-1 fcrence School at Cokesbury, and that! the Rev. Wm. T. Capers succecds him here, as pastor of the church. A zeal-! ous and conscientious and most accepta-J ble minister, Mr. Round carries with him the respect and esteem of our entire community, and their best wishes: for the happiness of himself and family.; To his successor Miey are prepared to' give him a cordial welcome, due alike! to his hitfh and personal character, and: ability. The worthy representative of an honored name, Mr. Capers is no stranger in our communitp, but com-1 mands a vide circle of earnest and ad- j miring friends. We wishe him a pleas- j ant sojourn here, and a bountiful liar-1 vest asjhc fruits of his ministry. Two Shooting Affrays.?The peace ot tno v jllagc, and the harmony 01, Christmas week, were broken by tv o 31100(1115601:11103, which resulted in 110th- ^ ing very serious. They both occurred ;' near tjie close of last week. In the first which occurred on Friday 1 afternoon, John McCord who had been arrested by Alfred Ellison, the Town Marshal, resisted the officer and discharged his pistol, without efle?t however, upon the Marshal, who lliocked him down, giving him a serious mow. In the second affair, which took placo do the next day, Calhoun Hamlin, shot 1 John Bowie, inflicting some four wounds , with pistol shots?though not of a fatal 1 character, .<r?? * . , week, passeu oir wun the usual amount of noise and confusi^i,j' popping of crackers, discharge of rot?-,' cis and uproarious rejoicing generally? j yet, with one or two exceptions, there;5 was nothing untoward to xnnr tlie general | , enjoyment. As usual, the colored breth- j ] ren had a prominent place in the picture, j > uid kept up tlie rejoicing the whole^ veoiv. i ne inclement weather doubtlcssT1 vcpt many away, and we have seen f' nuch larger crowds upon our streets. rj ndecd a much larger trade seems to ( lave been done by our merchants during I1 he previous week, both with white and | olorcd. During that week business was1 s mutually active. f IHm 0 c (he Hon. T?. B. Elliott, we dtbteu for a "subject matter Index 1 i f Patents for Inventions."

A good deal of real ? estate was sold at fair rates?averaging i over eight dollars per acre. This speaks well for our industrial future, and shows ' that under all discouragements our ^copic arc abating nothing of heart and ( hope. , a ( The following sales were made by the ( SheriH': ( 13i Acres of land, near Cokesbury, the 1 property of S.

MASONIC, I We learn that on Wednesday evening last, 27th ult., after the installation of the following officers of Greenwood Lodge, No. fit, A.'.F.'.M. Viz: C. A. C. Waller, W.'.M. Alex.

The craft were called from labor to refroahmerits. and nartook of a bouil-l teous repast, prepared by T. F. Riley, Proprietor of the "Greenwood Hotel,", whose reputation as a host, was fully sustained, and only excelled, so the guest3 say, by the attention and hospitality of the obliging hostess, The Colored Fair came ofTat the Abbeville Fair Grounds, on Wednesday 1 and Thursday of Christmas week, and evoked a large attendance from town and country. The display was very!' creditable,. in stock, field crops, and household department, and there was a handsome army of prizes, silver r cups, &c., to reward the'skill of'the sue-1 cessful contestants. The Abbeville j Band was in attendance and furnished ! some good music for the occasion. <3S> Pay Your Taxes!?By reference to the notice of Mr. J. F. C. DuPrc, our' county Treasurer, it will be seen, that; the time for the payment of taxes will j not be extended beyond the loth inst.? n?xt Monday week. Unless j'aid by that: time, the penalty accrues. \Ve I rust J that our friends will take heed in time, and thus avoid the penalty. The taxes; J must be paid, and nothing H^gained, but everything lost 1 ?3' delay. Cocd Sales.?Our fj iend Mr. John C. Chiles, of the lower part of the District, i seems to have been doing a thriving busi- j ness during Christmas week. His' sales j during ten days, principally to the blacks, i amounted to over $1,400, and on Christ?!' mas day, to near $250. This speaks well! for the condition of the colored peojilc ofi his section. - fcZT" Our readers will r.oticc by the advertisements in our paper, that the Messrs. "VYliito Brothers, and Messrs. Miller & Robertson, andMcpsrs. White, ' Hill & Cunningham have adopted the cash system of doing business. These ' limis arc among the best in the District, , and are prepared to offer superior induce* ] ments to customers. Our friends in the neighborhood of Greenwood would do well to call on j Messrs. Waller & Brother for any goods [ needed in their line. Their stock is I j complete in all the departments, and! their prices low. 1 hey are liberal and'j gentlemanly merchants, and have a full', corps of polite ami attentive clerks to assist them in serving customers.

JOEL SMITH. Dcc. 30, 1871,37-tf \?:?: ? 1872, CASH MUSS. M THE Experience of the last six years has brought n? to the conclusion that Business to be done in a safe nnd satisfactory manner, can only be d^iieby adhering strictly to the cash system^ The considerations which bring us t<x this conclusion are many, but it is not Tiofvssr.rv that thev should be given lie re. They will suggest themsrlves to any one", who has the least idea of business. Wo. are sure nothing would be a greater, benefit to the country at large than tho, abolition of the credit system. Impress-. . ed with this idea we are resolved for tho future to do a strictly cash business, and, we promise to those who will give us their patronage to sell goods much lower, thon we have ever done before. By bq-^ ing a Cash business we will be able to buy our goods much lower, sell them at shorter profits and give satisfaction ^to all parties. We are grateful to a generous public for the patronage bestowed upon U8 . during the past, and we trust our reputation as business men is now sufficiently well established to ensure for us a 111)-. ural support in the future. We will always do the best we can for any one entrusting us with business. WHITE BROTHERS. .Tan. 3, 1871, 37, tf NOTICE. A LL perrons having demands against /? ?f nrcoiiGE i\ X JS3L mu J jou?IV v.. ?
