Shall the County Treasurer of any 'jCouniy pay yny cl:Tim required by law .'{:? bo ; :?id by him, uuii! tlio same shall ii:t\"o boon first examined, approved and jal'owcd by tlie i???ard of County Commissioners? | Th?;ro seems to bo much contrariety ; of opinion amongst officials upon litis ! question, and the newspapers, as is their wont, have not been remiss in let; tinjr (heir "lights shine." j Tho confusion of ideas grows naturally out of the adoption of a new system enunciated in crude and ill-digested legislatiou^to which the corrective of judicial interpretation is yet wanting. 1 The Act of the last Assembly No;- 75?' undertakes to regulate the manner of I payment of all claims against the severjal Counties in this State; and such sub; stantially is the title of the Act. j By the first section of this Act the jTrcasurorjs forbidden to pay claims of I iny class or description, which are payable by him as such., until'such shall I haw in '-n ti:vi examined, approved and iallowed by the Board of County Commissioners. The second section of the j same Act conforming to the title of the ! Ac' limits the payment by the Treasurer '.<> flailUS dgaillSl UK* touillj. ! This iiicoii'-ruity in tlie Act lias given ! rise to tlic whole difliculty. I D.ics the Legislature mean all claims ' payable by the Comity Treasurer, or do they mean all claims against the Counj ty, and are School claims County claims? j Thai they i!<> not mean all claims payable by tlie Treasurer is obvious, for I amongst claims payable by them, are those of the County Commissioners jiheinselVos for services rendered, which ! by law they are forbidden to audit or iapprove, under the general inhibition 'that no public officer is allowed to audit j his own accounts. It is true that i:i a 'j subsequent act passed at the same session, to reduce all acts and parts of acts 'lin relation to County Commissioners | into one, it is provided in section 28 l t hat their accounts for services rendered jshall be audited by the County Auditor; { but this does not help the Act first above 'j referred to. It only shows thai the first jActdoisnotmeanwhat.it savs in the i first section. ; 'J lie next question is, arc school claims j claims against the County? j This is hardly woithy of serious ar'jgument. The whole school system is >jan independent establishment, rather It ': cumbersome it is true, but having no 1! on 11-. ction with the County government, J! .1 1 4.. 41. ~ 1?.

It is equally !! manifest from tlie most casual eompavi' son of (he provisions of (.lie two nets referred to that they cannot hotli be ' law, and r.s appears from the respective dates of their rat ideation the latter i named is subsequent to the former and . the oStli section of the County Commis* sioners act repealing ail parts of other ;;ae!s incoi:si>tent with it, we conclude ) that the first section of the act regula;; ting the manner of payment of claims, '!being inconsistent with the latter act '!cannot stand?and that the County J Commissioners have nothing to do with i auditing School claims. '( Arguments ab iiicoixrint'i (from in1 j convenience) are not greatly favoured J in the law, but it would bo easy to show i j that a strict observance of the rule -.which has been adopted, will work ' great hardships.

Tlio Chronicle and ScrHinel publishes from (lie Financial Chrbnicle of New j York, an article on the condition and : prospects of the cotton crop wiiich presents a roseate vjew of the situation, based upon the increase in acreage and in the fertilizers used, and upon the present nourishing condition of the crop; and holds out the idea that a crop of four millions of bales at least may be ; reasonably expected. But as our Augusta | contemporary remarks, the estimates of the New York paper have so often proved themselves incorrect, that they must bi.* taken with very great emit ion. The seasons have been so late, the stands ' hnvi-? homi so backward and the nerils and uncertainties to which the erupts I daily subjected havo been such, that lie is. a bold man who at tho 1st of June can j conlidently predictacTopof four millions ! or bales and upwards'. j There is one-favorable circumstance | to which the Chronicle alludes, the injcreased economy in the cultivation of the crop, from the increased manufacture' of home-made fertilizers, and the increase of grain products; thus lessening the expense of the culture and relieving as from a herrvy load of debt.? We trust that the day is not far distant when wo shall be self-sustaining in this respect, and shall not be forced to pay out all*our hard-earned cotton money for 'corn and fertilizers. Tnc following is the Chronialc's estimate of the crop of the State SOUTH C'AKOLIXA. The acreage in this Stale is about the same as last. year. Jn some of the counties wear Augusta here is a considerable increase, say over "? percent.; but in the average for the entire State we make no Change from last years's figures. Condition?The condition is generally good, although on an average about sieven days later than last year; stands, however, are better than last year. Weath I or?The weather has been too cold ; cool i nights extending over a considerable section even up to the first of June. The following general estimates are made: If the season is'very unfavorable, like | that of l.S7l-'72, so that the yield is only 1170 pounds per acre, the total crop this year would be (net weight 440 pounds) about 3,573,000 bal(tf; or, if equal to the unusually good season' of 1870-'71, the yield would" reach 4,580,000 bales; or again, if the weather and surrounding? are similar as last year, the yield would then be 3,00,'J,000 bV.les; or, if similar to the previous (lS7--'73) year (10(5 pounds to the acre), it would be about 4,118,000 bales Accounts from .South America, give the particulars of a terrible earthquake in New Grenada, by which lf!,00i lives were lost. The region in whieli this earthquake occurred 1ms, especially of late years, been subjected to violent slwieks, by Which towns have been de stroved and thousands of lives lost, ant embraces a vast volcanic area, extend ing through Central America and in th< Northern portion of South America Of the earthquakes of former times that which happened at Caracas, ii in 1X1 * liv wliiflrl'2 0t)0l!vrt< J were lost, is one of the most notable: i but it does not compare with .some o 'the earthquakes of tire OKI oWrld .
