OUR COORT.
The regular February Term of our
Court opened here on Monday last, his ZJ
Honor Jndge Orr presiding. Lawson's in
XewHall which had been fitted up for Ct
the occasion furnished very comfortable T1
accommodations, and with the adjacent fa
rooms for the use of the Juries, afforded cc
all the proper appliances of a Temple of ar
Justice. The work has been well exe- flc
outed by Mr. Leroy Wilson, and the ar- x
rangements within reflect due credit A:
upon all concerned. pi
The Court was organized after the ar- [de
rival of the train on Monday with the
following Grand and Petit Juries; se

The Grand Jury,'it will be recollected, tei
hold office during the remaindor of the ta:
year. It Is a lkir representative body of 1
our District, and with thslr excellent inj
foreman. Wm. A. Giles, Esq., at their * 1
bead, may be expected to discharge their ^
duties promptly, fearlessly and impar- ac
tially.^Upon the Petit Jury, also, we es,
see some of our best citizens, who will ex
meet out even-handed justice, without ^
"fear, favor or affection." su
His Honor, in his charge to the Grand tal
Jury, aUuded to the great loss which Y<
Abbeville had sustained in the recent ^
destruction of its courthouse. It was a no
loss, he said, to be regretted, not merely un
on account of tbie expense to which it i?1
subjected our Impoverished people, but
on account of the loss of valuable papers, th?
which would be a source of constant in- oil
convenience. The extent of the loss he Ta
did not know, and it would be the duty Pjjj
of the Grand Jury, for the satisfaction of wo
our people, to ascertain what records had pai
been preserved in all of the public offi- 101
ees. The loss of papers in the Auditor's 1
and Treasuier's offices might be sup- ^
plied from duplicates in Columbia, but
that of other offices was irrevocable.?
* mx
He bad heard no allegations 01 cuipability
against any of our publio officers 4
in relation to the matter; ?but it was the ?|0
dnty of the Grand Jury to make due en- aVi
quiry into the subject. The cost of con- wa
structing a new building would be im- h.e
posed upon the County, and representing,
as did the Jury, the whole of our po:
people, their suggestions as to its cost, adi
proper location and details of construction
in the way of making it fire-proof, ^
would receive consideration from the ut<
proper officers. It was the doty of the taj
Grand Jury to enquire into the official at
conduct of all the County functionaries, ^
and to present all malfeasanoe in office, tb
Prominent among these officials were So
the County Commissioners, who now exercised
the powers which were formerly pe
vested in separate Boards-'-over the high- sit
ways, the public buildings and the poor. no
In proportion to their powers so should
be the measure of their responsibilities. yc
The last Grand Jury had Ignored certain
bills indictment which had been pre- qq.
ecnted for failure to construct certain W]
bridges, because of the limited means in ta:
the hands of the Commissioners. The va
Jury should enquire into the condition to<
of the?highways, but at this season it is ca
not 16 be expected that much can be ac
done in their repair. With regard to the
management of the poor, His Honor
made a number of well-timed suggestions,
and referred the Jury to the veiy JEk
interesting repdftsmade to the Legislature
at each session, showing the com- m<
para live expense of the poor in the #ev- R<
eral counties. In some of the counties, mi
he said, the cost of each pauper was only Tt
one dollar per week, whilst in others, to
the coat was between three and four dol- sei
lars; as mq.oh aa charged in their best qu
hotels. He referred, in special com men- at!
datlon, tg the management in Anderson tit
county. The address, as usual, was ari
characterized throughout by the procti-j fai
cal judgment.Aml sound wisdom which Bj
distinguish ail the efforts oi his Honor T1
in the discharged official dtity. wi
In delivering other billsto the Grand hi
Jury, he again called their attentiou to
the policy of making 'an inventory of
the books and records which had been
preserved fteu the late fire?be urged
them to make-enquiry as to the proper to
observance of the law as to tavern and wl
retail licenses?the proper disposition of he
funds entrusted to public officers, &.O., m

Taxation in South Carolina, ^
un
Our Columbia contemporaries, the
hion and Phoenix, have been discuss- ^
g the subject of taxation in South m(
irolina, as compared with other States. j
tie Union attempts to show that the
rmera of this State have no reason to ^
mplain of taxation, as their burdens ac
e lighter than those imposed upon the ^
>urishing dairy and grain farms of the ^
orth; and urgea upon the General r
asemhly, to raise promptly all sup- a(j
ie9 sufficient to discharge "our Just va
ibta and obligations." Says he: m(
"The daily farms of New York and
veral other States are worth in the
arket from fifteen to fifty dollars an a f
re. The average is about thirty-five dif
liars, while the annual product is rc{
out twenty per cent, of this value, or
out seven dollars an acre. The annual
oduct of grain farms is more; say an m<
erage of twenty dollars an acre for all cai
ider cultivation, while such lands are th<
lued at an average of forty-five dollars f
r acre for whole farms.
"An assessment of ten mills on such a 8Cfc
Juation will give a tax on dairy {arms thi
thirty-five cents on every seven dol- th<
rs income, aim ou gram ui uib wiyi i
scents on every twenty dollars in- d .
me. Aud this tax must be inorea?ed
out one-third for non-productive ;r,
ads." *5'
"A like calculation for the cotton '
mis of this State shows the following
vantage for the tax-payers: ,ttJ;
"If we put the average production of Ajj
e short staple at the very low estimate jl"
one-third of a hale of 450 pounds p
r acre, the annual production at lif- j
in cents is $22.50: while the average t
?rket value of suoh lands will not ex- ^
sd $10 per acre. An assessment of th*
l mills on this valuation will give a ,
cof ten cents on every $22.50incomc." ^
ro this the Phccnix makes the follow- bet
5 effective rejoinder. be
'The average yield of cotton on the wo
at class farms in the State 13 about as ern
i states?one-third of a bale to the
re?but a general average of all class,
good, bad and indifferent, will not *?
ceedabale. So much for that. There 'lk
however, one fact which the Union
an has overlooked, or intentionally tl?
ppressed, that of itself turns the
jles upon him completely. In New "Vj
>rk and other flourishing States in tlie W1
>rth, almost every aero of ground is ??i
ide productive. In South Carolina, mi
t more than one-fifth of our area is c?l
der cultivation, and of tills one liaif
ievoted to corn, potatoes and small
lin, which yield, we may say, no net
some whatever, so that it falls out g
it one acre of cotton h?s to par for
le acres of non-productive land. me
king the Union18 valuation of $10 wa
r acre, there would be $100 to be taxed; the
i at ten mills on the dollar, there' wftJ
uld consequently be $1 of taxes to be ,
id on $22.50 of income, instead of OI1
cents as the Union figures itout." coe
Jut the Fhccnix further shows that the roa
L50 per acre is gross income, from pas
Licli is to be deducted the cost of pro- the
ction which exceeds the North im- to i
;nsely. It says; Ro,
'A good laborer demands here $150. ter<
owiug that he provides his own food, Th
thing, &c. He will tend on an
erage say twelve acres of land, which _
is the estimate in slavery times, and 1
works not so well now. Tbis would roa
re us$l?.60 for lab jr. only. Put fertiers
say at $5 per acre, or about 150
unds of goou commercial manure ; g !
d to this $2 for use of mule, and we *eJ
ve $19.50 of the $22.50 already exhaust- ^ar
, and no account taken of the wear
d tear of wagons, plows, farming 1
;nsils, &c. Now when you put on the T.oa
t of two or three dollars, as the Union
the close of its article suggests as not y01
[reasonable, the poor farmer comes out ? .
low zero. The fact of the business is, *rJ
at there is no money in farming in Jal
uth Carolina with the present ^system
labor, except under the most advan- 'j
reous circumstauces. Six years' ex
riment has demonstrated that propoion
beyond all question; for there are eV?
t to-day one-fourth of the planters who mo
a not lu a worse condition, pecuniarily gjv
an they were at tho beginning of the tr?
ar 1860." Ua
Under the mosl favorable circumstan- Pr?
i there is little money in farming, but
aen you add the enormous burdens of ne<
sation based upon an exorbitant me
luation of the property aud imposed
a on unproductive . capital, as is the
se with tho great body of our lands, it tro
counts virtually to confiscation. pn

The Anti-Grant Movement
:t seeraa that the^proposed Cincinnati
nvention, which was to have been
rm fhofith Xfov nAtt- la to hn ?
edto the 20th June, in order to
ait developments at the Republi1
Convention which meets in Phila- 11
Iphia on the 5th June. It was never *
jposed that the Cincinnati Convenn
should nominate candidates for the ^
esidency and Vice-Presidency, but
npljgt^adopt a platform, and .inaugu;e
an opposition movement which was "
be consummated if possihle in the 84
feat of Grant at Philadelphia, and ^
ling in that, to nominato an inde- J|
udent candidate, who might be ac- j
stable to the Democrats, and with the
ion of all the elements of opposition, P
feat the regular nominee of the Conntion.
A failure however to secure the
operation of Sumner, Trumbull, Lou,
Feuton, and Greely and others, in n
5 Cincinnati movement seems to P
ve determined its authors to await ^
:ion at Philadelphia, and to leave it to
ac to mark the course of the opposi- P
n. If . they develop strength ^
ough.to defeat Grant, they will be "
iependent of the Democracy, and n
11 have no reason to court its aid ; but
on the contrary they can present only e
broken phalaux and disheartening <?
ay, wo may expect them to go over
the enemy and abandon the field to ^
i regular nominee of the PhUadel- 0
!a Convention. It is only in the h
ent of theirdeveloping a strong but Q
successful opposition to Grant at ^
liladelphia, that we may expect them
inaugurate an independent move- ti
?nt, and adopt a union reform plat- d
m, upon which they will seek to ralthe
strength of the Democracy, and of n
e disaffected gf their own party. The tl
tion at Philadelphia will determine d
is movement, as well as the course of
e Democracy itself, t*
rhat Grant is to be nominated at Phil- e
elphia?controlling, as he does, the a
st official patronage of the Govern- jjj
?nt, and bringing it to bear upon the f(
reral State Conventions?seems to bo
oregone conclusion; but then if the a
affected East and West can make as ^
jpectaoie array 01 Jtiepu oiican suengin, Bj
> may expect an independent rnoveint,
with a new platform and new a
adidates in the field. As to both of ?
jse, Mr. Kitteridge, a leading lawyer f,
Cincinnati, who is said to be in pos- ii
ision of all the plans of the new party ?
us expresses himself to a reporter of 4,1
3 Enquirer: . (j
ll do not think the selection of oandi* S
tes of so much importance as the bar- E
mixing of the elements that make up J
i opposition. If there is any harmony 0
aotion, I have no questiou that they E
i agree upon candidates that will be ?
itualiy satisfactory. I think Senator p
umbull, as a Western man, and
arles Francis Adams as an Eastern
in, are the strongest candidates for the
asidency. ?
: think either one of them would be .
isfactory, provided they.would accept
s platform that goes undet the name of d.
> Union Reform ^platform, or em- fc
lying substantially those principles.
iVm. Groesbeck, of Cincinnati, has
;n prominently spoken of. He would s(
satisfactory to me. I do not think he ai
uld be so strong a candidate as a Lib- tl
.1 Republican Tike Trumbull or Ad- a]
is. If Trumbull should be nominated
the Presidency, X think the Viceesident
should be an Eastern man, el
e J.olin Q. Adams, of Massachusetts, b;
instance. Of course all these qucs- 0
ns about candidates are questions
>ut which there will be a good deal of n
lividual difference of opinion, and v<
