State of South Carolina ABBEVILLE COUNTY. In the COURT OF SESSIONS, Feb ruary Term, 1S72. Presentment of Grand Jnry. We, tiio Grand Jury empanelled foi the present term, make the following presentments. We have visited the County jail, ant find the prison generally, in good order and neatly kept, and the prisoners properly cared for. There is a leak in tin tin-roof which should be mended, ant! more blankets are needed. Calling to our assistance several gentlemen of acknowledged skill as builders, wo have carefully inspected the *uins of the Court House, in view all the circumstances, and to avoid all apprehension of danger which might hereafter arise from some undiscovered defect or damage in the walls, and considering that in a contract for re-building the contractor would not probably, make much allowance for the walls as they stand, and considering, further, that the ar - ? ranngcmont of the windows in the old buildiug i^ not suited to the division 01 the basement into the requisite 11 umbel of County offices, we have conclude^ tc recommend that the old walls be taker down to the rock foundation, and a new building erected thereon better adaptcc to the public conveniences; and that tin work of reconstruction be commenced a? soon as practicable. "VYe would call th? attention of the County Commissioners to the care of the safes that arc now lying within the walls exposed to the weather. Two of them appear to be bill little injured, while the other may b<. ?old for some nmount however small. a Committee of our body, we have visited the Poor House, and we lind the inmates comfortably provided for; generally pleased with their treatment by the Steward, and as well satisfied as such unfortunates usually are. The premises are, upon the whole, well kept and in good condition. "Boisseau" Chapel is used for a school house, as we are informed, without the sanction of the County Commissioners. This chapel, a? is well known, was built for the Poor ~r !>?. a l-,rvnnoaf- nf the he U1 I.II13 V/UUUWJ ? vvxA?v?w w - nevolent gentleman whose name it bears, and we think its present occupancy, without authority, a misuse or misdirection of the tiusfc In ow judgmeut, the expenditures foi the maintenance of the poor, have heretofore been entirely two lavish, and wc are pleased to learu that under the present administration, these expenses are being steadily reduced. We have visited and examined all the County oflices and find them in as good condition as could be expected under the circumstances. The ofllce of Judge of Probate, especially,was' found in admirable order. M'e recommend that this office be furnished with four blank books of which there is immediate need. Having instituted a;; searching an investigation into the conduct of the County o/Jleers during the late disastrous fire as our limited time and-means of information would allow, we are not now prepared to suj* that any of them are justly censurable, for the lamentable loss ' ^ t-oriin r\ F f lunn 'Uk puvill/ j n Hi IV. Zy\ju*^ Vi iuvui merit the public thanks for their prompt and energetic efforts. The officers report to ns that the records and documents lost In the lire are of historical rather than -of legal value. But in order to satisfy the public mind and prevent future trouble, we have, at the suggestion ofliis Honor Judge Orr, appointed a committee of our body, and have made it their duty immediately alter the liual adjournment of this court to make a thorough investigation 6f these olllces, and ascertain with certainty what has been saved, and so far as possible what has been lost, and to submit the result to thirf body, at the next term of the court. We congratulate our people upon the diminution of crime and the general peace and quiet of the County. We tender to- His Honor, Judge Orr, and Solicitor Perry, our thanks for their courtesy and indispensable assistance in the discharge of our duties. By order and iu behalf of the Grand Jury. WM. A.

The Republican Convention which item iu? 111 vwiuiuuia viuiiu^ mi past week, elected the following delegates to the Philadelphia Convention, which will meet on the 6th June, tc nominate candidates for President and Vice-President: First District?Maxwell, Rwails and Jones. Alternates?Frost, Green and "NVhsttemore. Second District?E. W. M. Mackey, Mclntyre and Swails. Alternates? Hedges, C. D. Hayne and J. W. Hayne. Third District?Elliott, Nash and Orr, Alternates?Lee, Wilder and Cain. Fourth District?T. J. Mackey, Allec and Patterson. Alternates ? Moses Mobley and O'Connell. Speaker Moses and Lieutenant-Governor Jlansier were elected for the Stat( at large. The following is the platform constructed for the convention by Mr. T. J Mackey,. who had engineered hfmsel: Into the position of chairman of tin committee on resolutions: PLATFORM. Resolved, By the Union Kepublicar party of the State of South Carolina, ii convention assembled, that we endors< the administration of President U. S Grant in its wise and successful policy fT uivu into icuuucu but* uuuvuai uvu while lessening the public taxes, and a the same time preserved full faith witl Hie public creditors. ftasolved, That the profound gratitud< of the Republicans of South Caroliua i: due to the Republican majority in th< Forty-second Congress, for the enact ment of the act to enforce the four teenth amendment to the constitution o tbe Tnited States, and to President U. S Grant for his prompt and timely en forcement of the act, whereby the armed bands organized and operated .by thi Democratic party for the suppression o free speech and a free ballot have beei themselves suppressed. Bisolvcd, That while we thus accon a merited endorsement to the man who in peace as in war, has deserved thewel done of the whole country, we respect fullv. but earnesflv remonstrate arming the'great majority of Federal appoint ment$ that have teen made in this Stat during tbo past three years. AVhereb the Republican party of South Carol in has been 'wounaed jn the house of it friends; aud we.do here express our U lief that such appointmentof persons nt in sympathy with the Republican part, of the State, or nation, is due largely t the misrepresentations made to the Pre? iilent b? United States Senator F. A ?awypr. I Resolved, That the national Republi-j ": can party having declared in its platform I I ot' 18GS in favor of amnesty, we do hereby!

S KJH p True Economy.?The country Is at; j, present flooded with cheap and inferior;;., goods of every description, which are) heralded to the public in flaming adver-i tiaements and which find a market n-1*' niong those who have yet to learn that j "true economy" consists in buying a, g : lirst ela-s article from an established and j 'j ?first class liouse. For example, pianos of r' j various makers are ofl'ered at about one- Sl j half the price of those of really first class iruamiiaciure. .Among uik j;uici hwuvi 'are more deserving of the encomium !c I "really first class" than those manufaet-' (] ' ured by Messrs.

I The so-called "cheap" piano may pre- tl sent a fair external appearance, buti.sjti mad-j of inferior and often entirely un-jd seasoned material, and soon becomes a | ti wreck which* defies the art of the tuner. :n ,: We make special mention of the piano,; .las the most forcible illustration of our j remarks, which can be applied to almost' 1 every article we use in our families. |? 1 Extraordinary Yield.?A friend J a has furnished us the annexed statement; o ! of the production upon a farm in.Oconee; a I i '/Mint* loet vo?i* tlm nit'iinp nf which S' I j l-UIIUIj J V..., i..v ., -" , j farm is one of the most intelligent and u , reliable citizens of the up-country, j Amount of cotton made on 13 acres of . | bottom land, which was manured in 1870 j j, . ! with Etiwan Ouauo No. 1, at the rate of i^ j 230 lbs. per acre, but for the crop of 1S71' j i .only 4 two-horse wagon loads of stable; ,, , manure was put on the poor places, viz : | {Total amount of seed cotton, 18,<j5(i lbs., ^ |hauled as follows: ^ ; By 3 mule wagon?1770, IS05, 1335, . 1 Si>S?6,SOS lbs. .!
