His Honor, in his charge to the iirand Jury, remarKea, mai as uiis was their third term of service, it was unnecessary to enter into an elaborate exposition of their duties. He called attention especially, however, to the necessity of exam ining into the condition of the public offioes, and the conduct of public officials. Xew officers had been elected, and new official bonds ur/vnl<l fiarp in hn annroved. It was tlie duty of the County Com missioners to approve these bonds, and they should be held to a rigid account for the mode in which they should discharge this duty. The penalty of these bonds had been reduced so largely, that it was the more important tnatgoou aua sura cient security be taken. With regard to the county expenditures, he submitted the reports of the County Commissioners for the respective counties of Abbeville, Greenville, and Anderson, tor tne purpose 01 making a comparative estimate. These expenditures in Greenville and Anderson, amount only to $9,000 and $8,000 respectively, against $26,000 in Abbeville. The reports of the Judge of Probate and Clerk of Court, as to monies in their hauds, were also submitted to them for approval. We publish them elsewhere. In the absence of ?m. IT. Perry, Esq., the Solicitor, Robt. R. Hemp hill, Esq., was appointed Solicitor, and has assumed charge of the criminal business of the Term. The State cases, it is supposed, will occupy the week, and the liti gated civil business will not be en tered upon until next week. The following true bills have been found: State vs. Oliver Pierson, Assault and Battery, with intent to kill. Same vs. Lewis Weston, Grand Larceny. Same vs. John Shufort, Bigamy. Same vs. Cromer Callins, and Cliloe Higgihs, Robbery, and As sault and Battery. Same vs. George Cromer, Mali cious Tresspass. The following bills have been thrown out: ^ State vs. Alfred Ellison, Assault and Battery, with intent to kill. Same vs. Wilson Lomax, Rape. In the case of the State vs. "Wash. Andersou, charged with Grand Larceny, in stealing and killing two oxen of Dr. Drennon's, Messrs, Perrin & Cothran appeared for the defendant, and there being no prooi to connect him with the oftense, the jury were instructed to acquit him, and so rendered their verdict with out retiring. In the case of the - State vs. Jas. R. Nelson, charged with a breach of trust, in illegally disposing of cotton, in fraud of the rights of the landlord, the same counsel appeared for the defendant, and after trial he w?a ? > AH office of the JPress and Bannner are requested to come for Our County Fair. Our readers will not forget that the Abbeville Fair will commence on Wednesday, and continue during Thursday and Friday of next week. Every preparation has been made by the Executive Committee of the Society to give a fitting reception to both exhibitors and spectators, una we trust that our people will respond with their accustomed pub lic spirit. Our Fair, for each suc cessive year, ha9 been a success? an occasion both of interest and of profit to our people?and, with the experience of the past before us, with ampler means, and a more general interest, we may anticipate for the present year even a better exhibition?a more brilliant dis play, and larger crowds to enjoy it. The Committee have done their duty, and we are sure that the public will do theirs. Come one, come all. Some have gone to the Augusta Fair, and some will be ?oiu?C to the Columbia and Charles o o ton Fair, but nearly all may avail themselves of the opportunity of coming to the Abbeville Fair. What it wants in some points of the comparison, it will make up in other and more attractive feature*. Come, and let us all contribute to making it a grand success. We have been requested to say that any deficiency in hotel accom modations will be supplied by the hospitality of our townsmen, and that their houses will be thrown open for the accommodation of the sruests of the occasion. The annual meeting of the stock holders will be held in Lawson's Hall on "Wednesday night, when 0 the officers for the next year will ? be elected. . . We are requested to say that |} stockholders must get their certifi 6' cates to exhibit at the gate for ad mission. A Colored Man Killed at o Dorn's Mine. ? A colored man g named Jack Brown, was killed at c Horn's Mine on last "Wednesday! night, by a pistol shot, which passed through his lungs. According to the testimony before a Coroner's inquest, held on the next day bj7 Esq. James McCaslan, he occupied one eud of a double log-cabin, and the inmates of the other end heard the shot, and the cry of the mur dered man, and the falling of his body, but did not learn of his death till next morning, when the dead body was discovered. The whole matter is involved in mystery. A white man, named Lewis Banks, ias been arrested for'the murder, jut the circumstances amount only, we learn, to some grounds of sus )icion. Neither Banks nor Brown went to the election on "Wednesday, and there was 110 known ill will kohunon tViAnv nnd certainlv no po UVI" ~-r~ j litical quarrel. Whatever the cause, and whoever the perpetrator of the crime, there was certainly no connection with politics in the affair. The Anderson Fair.?We are indebted to James A. lloyt, Esq., the Secretary, for a complimentary ticket to attend the Annual Fair of the Anderson Farmers' and Me chanics' Association, which comes off on the 30, 31 of October, and 1 c of November-<-the same days with the Abbeville Fair?and hence, re gret that we will be unable to at teud. We trust to hear an encour- a aging report of its success. b The Geneva Arbitration.?The " PlcUiV nnn of flirt Hi?. T Lion. UUll'U LUOUIII^, UUV .uv - - tinguished lawyers who represented this country before the Geneva Con ferance, in speaking of the award to a correspondent oJ N. Y. Herald, 6ay?: "It has been entirely satisfactory, J think, to tho people of the United States, however it majr appear to the English. It has been a great success for us, and one of which we 6houId feel proud. Fifteen millions is a large sum of rnonej7; and yet it is not ihe money value of the award which is tho triumph so much as tho points have been settled by the controversj' and the arbitration. The arbitrators discussed and they decided that Eng land did not exercise duo diligence in allowing the Alabama and others to leave her ports; and that she is, there fore liable for the damage they inflic ted. This is the principle and this the result of the violation of that principle, and it was in this that lay our persistent claim, and in the as sertion of which we have been so em inently successful." Jas. "W". Turley, Broad Street, Augusta, Ga., the well-known and prominent merchant advertises in another column, a choice stock of dress and fancy goods, shawls, scarfs, hosiery, gloves, blankets and flannels, which he is offering at low prices. Turley's is a ^first-class establishment where one may find the best of eve ry thing in the dry goods lino, at reasonable rates. He can please in style, quality and price, and only so licits a call, Wo commend him to r patronage of our friends. 1 V. ?- v ?

"We learn that he will ake charge of the Xinety-Six Academy during the next year. Peace and quiet prevail thraugh iut the Ninety-Six section, and tlie icaltli is better than earlier in the Summer. Mr. R. M. White had the misfor nne to lose his giu-house near Ninety-Six, by fire. Supposed to e the work of an inceudiary. ?here had been no work done in he gin-house during the morning, ^he house was discovered to be on ire, about midday 011 the 16tb. lome seven or eight bales of cotton /ere burnt.

The rob ery was soon discovered^ when he ursued the thieves, and recovered is cotton. The thieves made their scape without being known. The crops in the neighborhood f Ninety-Six are estimated : corn, ood crop; cotton, three-fourths rop. New Goods. ? Messrs.

C. | Oct. 17 tb, 1S72. } Editor Abbeville Press ana Banner: I do not know whether any of 3*0 readers will read a letter from uninteresting a place as this, tbei fore I cannot give you any neu but I will attempt to write., abo Grant and Greeley. ltr-tt 1 ' TJ?nnl,l!n? \Y UlJj I U UCp ' '1 j ctj\> viivu have sent us a cargo of r-al Repub can speeches. Every one of the speeches were written by the frien of "tho humane General," and course they are for him and again Old Whito Hat. The authors of ti productions bring up every got thing Grant ever did, likewiso evei bad act Greeley ever commitlcd. Oije says tho people should suppo Grant because he was a great \Yarri' Another thinks he should be suppoi cd because he has reduced the taxc and so they are always waging a wj on ihc people who do not feel dispc cd to vote for Grant. These speech-writers think Gra uuirht to iret the support of all Soul crn men because ho treated Gen. L so humanely when ho whipped hit This certainly was a good act but v do not see that it binds them to vo for a man they do not want for Prei dent. Grant certainly will bo clecti next November if ho is the lig man. And why should theso spcec 08 bo eulogizing Grant so much? 1 they not know that ho will bo o next President if he is fit to till so ii portant an office ? The people of tl United States are intelligent poop] and we arc sure they koow who tho best man for tho Presidenc Now let them rest assured that Gra will be elected if he is the man. In these master pieces of "wi known" authors one can easily rcco nizoa kind of uneasy fear? a fear tb Greeley will be elected. To sour tl Democrats, these sour Republica have copied eight pages from tl Tribune about "what Horace Greeh knows about Democrats." Th< commence their clippings from hi with the year 1861, and go down 1871. Now, although Horace hi said some right, hard things abo Democrats, wo think they would < much better to givo their support him than to Grant. Although Gre ley is bad enough Grant is worse, i all who vote him back into offii will seo, should he be re-elected. . is all nonsense to talk to any intel gent eitizen about Grant's honest for he i3 too well known; but th< say, (and " they " are generally got authority,) Old White Hat is hones These Republican speakers seo th; Mr. Greeley is becoming popular, ar of course rogues do not quite like tl idea of being exposed; so wc thin this is the reason of so many < donbtful charactor taking Grant part. "We, like all others, are of tl opinion that it is better to havo ar body in preference to Grant, ther fore wo cry: "Anything to be; Grant." Yours, &c.
