H. Cooke presided with more
than his usual dignity and delivered
his able charge to the Grand Jury in a
clear and unimpassioned manner. Col.
Cothran, the new Solicitor, entered
upon the duties of his new office, with
an air and manner which showed
that he was equally as much at ease
on the side of the prosecutor as he has
heretofore shown ability and tact in
behalf of the defence.
At the suggestion of the Solicitor,
His Honor directed the Clerk of the
Court to read the Commissions of the
Solicitor and county officers.
The new Sherili', Mi. J. V. Jones,
undsrstands his business apparently
as well as If he had always been in office.

The Judge's Charge to the Grand Jury
Gentlemen of i/tc Grand Jurrj :
Among the various duties of the Jury
in their grand inquest of thecounty
is, to visit all the otlicesin the Court
House and to see that the various otfiees
of the county are faithfully
discharging their respective duties,
you should visit each of the officers
and make a true report of their
vondition to the Court.
THK Jl'KV COLMISSrOXERS.
I desire particularly to call your attention
to the Jury Commissioners,'
villi the hope that you will strictly
inquire into the manner in which
they have been heretofore discharging
their duty. There are three Commissioners?the
Auditor and Chairman of
the Hoard of County Commissioners
lire ex-ofticio Jury Commissioners and
act with the Commissioner appointed
hy the Governor. Sometimes the Jury
Commissioner assumes the whole
responsibility. This is not right, as
the others are equaily responsible.
The name of no man should be put on
the list from which Jurors are drawn ;
linings hf? ifc in'rsonn.11 v knwvvn lo at i
Jeast on^of t lie Jury .Commissioners to !
be |x)ss?lecl of the necessary qualiti'cntioim,
of sound judgment, ^o id character
and free from legal exceptions*
The law does not require that he shall
be a white man or a black man, but a
jtian of good character and sound j
judgment.
TUB JAIL AND TFTE CAKB OF PUISONKUS.
It is a part of your duty to visit the
jail, examine into its condition, and
ascertain whether or not the inmates
are properly fed, clothed and kept
comfortable. In most prisons the use
of tire-place and stoves has been discontinued
owing to the danger of the
inmates setting tire to the building,
but in inay other stoves may be put
up in the hails, by which means the
prisoners may in sotnr degree be prevented
from unnecessary suffering
from cold during inclement weather.
The law does not assume to punish a
prisoner awaiting trial in prison.
Aside from humanity it is to our inter-1
est to prevent a prisoner from becom- !
ing sick?for should he be sick the
cost of attending him would be greater
than the expense of keeping lires.
THE POOR 1IOUSH.
You should al-o visit the Poor House
of the County, and inform yourselves
as to the true condition of the paupers.
The |K>or unfortunates of the County '
are then cared for ut the public exjKinse,
and it is yoxr duty to see that
they are humanely Jreated, and the
intention of the law earriee out.
TUJAL J USTICK8.
Especial attention is directed to the
Trial Jestices. It is your duty to enquire
into the manner in which they
perform their duties. They often I
abuse their power by arresting parties j
for trivial offences, and inllict an un- j
necessary cort upon the county. They i1
are required by law to hold a prelimi-1
nary examination in every case, they !
often neglect to perform, this impor- 1
tant duty. The neglect of this duty I
on the part of there officials in often
embarassing to the Solicitor and frequently
delay* the work of this court.
JJy such a course of neglect the Solicitor
the solicitor in kept ill the dark its
to the month of a case, while the defeudent
may in the meantime employ j
the best of council who is fully in- j
formed upon Cite case. 1
COUNTS' COMMISSIONERS.
r Gentlemen of the tirand Jury:
In connection) uith your County !
government, the office of County i
'Commissioner is second to uone oth- '
er. Tvese offices are invested with ]
power to tax your people, to pass up- 1
on,.anditaud direct the payment of all '
claims against the county. Such <
being the case, you must readily dis-;
cover how very impon.aut it is to the!'
people that the duties aud powers of I
the (,'ouuty Commissioners be so per-j
formed and exercised as to secure the 1
-interest and welfare of the whole peo- j
pie. Their duty does not cease here,
l'hey are charged with the care of the!
unfortunate poor of your county. |
They are required to keep your hridg
es in good repoit, and your publicroads
in good traveling order; an<l the
law provides for their punishment for
default in the performance of any du4y
imposed upon them. You will!
therefore, make such investigation
.jind ihquiay as to the management of
your couuty a flairs by the Commissioners,
as will secure the best interest
of the people whom you represent.
THE LHJUOK'MCENSE.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, it is!
proper that I should direct your altentlon
to the liquor license law of the
State. The tendency of our people to!
IMUUIgU ill tllC UOC "i IIIIUAIV-Mblll^ inj"|
uors Is well calculated to cause just'
alarm to those who have the pood ofI
socity at heart, in this respect. The!,
entire fabric of society is endangered |
hy this growing evil. The combined]
efforts of the temperance reformer,!
the watchman of (Jod upon the walls!
of Zion, ahd tha wisdom of our legis-|
lature. have most sadly failed so far to!
bring any relief to us againt the tri-j
umphial march of this great destroyer}
of the human family, and, without
designing to reflect upon the legislature,
I am firmly impressed with the
idea that nothing short of absolute
Sirohibitiou of the sale of spirituous
iquors will ever crush the monster intemperance.
But whatever may be
the defect in the law as it stands, it is J
nevertheless the duty of the Courts tyj
enforce it.
JIOW LICENCES AliETO BE GRANTED.'
By theActT>f March 19 1874, chapter
80, of Title 14, part 1, of the general
statutes, relating to the granting oft
retail and tavern licences, are declared j
to be applicable solely to '.he granting
of licences within the limits of incorporated
cities, towns and villages.'
A party desirous of retailing spiritu-j
ouk liquors inside of corporate cities,
- towns and villages by the Act of l'J,
March 1874, Is requiml to make appli

law. As a general thing, |>or>ons wh

be considered very respectable, and th
I corporate authorities of cities am

it wis! he your duty to pass upon tin

the petitioner, should receive a licens*

to any person of known intemperatt
habits, or to any person when drunk 01
or intoxicated, or to ;i minor, or to any
insane person, for use as a bevorage,
shall be held and deemed a misdemeanor,
and, upon conviction thereof,
tlieollender shall be fined not less
than ten or more than one thousand
dollars and imprisoned not less titan

one or more of your body may know
of persons engaged in this tralic, having
violated the law in this respect,
If so you will present them.

The Courfalso desires to direct your
attention to the practice of seliinjr,
f.mdiiw or hnrh-rinir snirituous lienors
<m Sunday. Such practice is in violation
of the law, and you will present
all whom you may know to have offended
against the law in this particular.
This general direction of your attention
to the liquor license law of the
State I trust may he sufficient to put
you in possession of your duty, but ju
the Act is long it may he weil for you
to read it at your leisure.
WAS THKKK FRAUD IN' THE LATE
KI.KlTIONS.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, our
people have just passed through a general
election, characterized hy an unusual
amount of enthusiasm and excitement,
and the neglect of the General
Assembly of this State, to provide for
the registration of all persons entitled
to vote, has perhaps opened wide the
door for the perpetration of fraud in
said election. The purity of the ballot
box ought by all means to be protected
against fraud, and, although we are
without a registration law, if your
body should address itself assiduously
to the ta?k of investigating whether
there was fraud, practiced in the late
election, such investigation would
havo a most wholesome effect, and
tend greatly to secure us against much
of fraud in all future elections. J
trust, t herefore, you will give this matter
your most earnest consideration.
CH A MliliItr,.\ I N'S l'KO( i,am ation.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, Your
term of office will last for one year and
until another (J rand Jury shall have
been organized, and as this is your
first term I desire to be somewhat full
and specific in my instructions as U>
your various duties and powers. You
will remember that Daniel J I. Chamberlain
was, by the General Assembly
of the State of South Carolina, duly
declared elected Governor thereof in
November, 1874, and early in the winter
of that year, he was inaugurated as
Governor of said State.
And as such Governor by his proclamation
dateil at Columbia, S. C., October
the 7tl?, 1S7'?, he caused to be published
and did utter and publish the
following language iu relation to the
people of the State of South Carolina,
i>I wuicti nunc cue comity <>i auubviiic
forms a ditterential part; to wit:
"Whereas, it has been made known to
"me by written and sworn evidence,
"that there exist such tin lawful obstructions,
combinations and assemblages
of persons in the counties of
' Aiken and Jiarnwell, that it has bc"come
impracticable in my judgement
"as Governor of this State, to enforce
"by the ordinary course of judicial
"proceedings the* laws of the State
"within said counties; by reason
"whereof it has become necessary, in
"my judgement as Governor, to call
"forth and employ the military fortv
"ofthe State to enforce the faithful execution
of the laws ; and whereas it
"has been made known to mo as Governor,
that certain organizations and
"combinationsof men exist in all the
"counties of the State, commonly
"known as'Hide Clubs:' and whereas
"swell organizations and combinations
"of men are engaged in promoting
"illegal objects niul in committing
"open acts of lawlessness and violence."
what Tin-: jtky mtst do.
Which is either true or false, as to
the people of Abbeville county?a people
wboni you represent, ami as such
representatives, to wit: the grand injuest.
It is eminently proper in justice
to yourselves, as well as tbt! people
of your county, to faithfully and
liligentJy inquire* into allairs and a
true ]>reseiitment make to the Court,
whether or not, "certain organizations
"of men did exist in the county of
'Abbeville for the purpose of promoting
illegal objects and in committing
"open acts of lawlessness and violence."
If you should find, upon
full and fair investigation of the subject
given you in charge by the Court,
that the said proclamation of His then
Excellency was true as to yourselves
and the people ofyour county, you will
-osav ; and i'*upon such investigation
v'ou should find that the charges contained
in said proclamation do not apply
to the people of your county, and
that as to them false, defamatory and
libelous, you win so say. jiiuci is ^
L-eusorious or ridiculing writing, pieLure
or si,?n published with a mischievous
an?1 malicious intent, towards
government, magistrates or individuals.
MEAT, FATRI.Y AVITU C1IA WKEULATX.
The Chief Kxecutiveof a State is her
highest officer, and ought not to libel
her whole people, except upon unquestionable
testimony. The "written
"ami sworn evidence" upo.u which he
proceeds to promulgate such proclamation,
should he overwhelminsiJy convincing,
and clear to the mind beyond
cavil. And hence, I cannot too iors.'ibly
and seriously impress upon your
body, the utmost importance of "your
stripping yourselves of all prejudice
and feeling in this matter so that you
may deal fairly and honestly with the
then Executive of the State, as well.as
yourselves as a people.
TREASON AGAINST A STATE.
Gentlemen of the (Jrand Jury. I also
desire to direct your attention to the
e rim ft of treason against a State.
It has been suggested by some that
by the constitution and its amendments,
the existence of the States as
separate and independent sovereignties
lias been merged into the general
government,* which absorbing the
States lias become one great nation ;
and that in consequence the States are
sovereign in such sense as to be entitled
to the allegience of their citizens
respectively; and that the crime ?'
treason cannot be committed against a
State; government; tlie judgment 01
the Court is not in accord with such a
docrinc.
South Carolina is one of the original
Slates which formed the Federal
(iovernnicnt. She was certainly
sovereign then as to all
powers not delegated to the general
government; and it tloes
not appear when, where or how she
relinquished that sovereignty. The
Court is, therefore, of the opinion
that the crime of treason can be committed
against the .State of South Carolina.
XiOST SIGHT OF.
This crime has almost been losl
sight of, which is perhaps owing tf
the fact, that so far it has been of rart
occurrence. Treason against a State
Government is well defined in the
books and ita punishment provided
witi'i ?. i ywenw?wier
-! for. Anil although it has been buried
* ; 11 iitlor the last lift;.* years of our ex
i iMenee as .1 .state, it should be t; 11 f

HOPE OK KSCAIMNC l'L'XISM.UIC.N'T.

ij the commission of crime; especially

, I full knowledge before bund that the
[judgment of ii?t' law would certainly
overtake them. He nee the necessity
for prompt and a most edlcient dis i
charge of every duty and power per,
taining to your otliee. A rigid exeri
eise of those duties and powers will
have not only the effect of checking
the desperate and wicked from the
commission of crime, but it will have
ja wholesome effect upon all your county
oflleials. Kven they will take les
s;>n,Jand learn the importance of discharging
faithfully to the public, the
i duties of their respective odices. You
i may rent assured, that tlio failure to
discharge your consciences fully under
'the oath which you have taken, will
I not only embolden the enemies of
law, order, peace'and good government,
but perhaps a fiord them the
J opportunity to laugh when your calamity
Cometh, and render every
j laudable effort of the court to suppress

I>oe3 Christianity Include Hrothcrly
Love and Ucconciliatiou ?
j The Southern l'rcKl.ylcrian of the
-Sth ultimo, contains from the pen of
jone "Junius," an article on the subject
of "Peace Through Union" in
which he puis in hisdrcamor "vision"
; very bitter wordj in tlio mouths of his
Northern brethren ami then proceeds
! at. onco to put Home equally bitter
; wordri in the mouths of the Southern
christians. The good (?) to be accomi
plished by such publications is so rej
i.iole thai we are at a loss to know
.why a talented christian gentleman
holding the conservative viewn of Mr.
Woodrow should publish them in his
paper. If the writer intended to
prove that the Northern Christians are
not as good as they should be we are
certain that he failed himself to ex|
hibit in his article the promptings of
!a charitable heart at peace with his
fellow man.
This eternal bickering between Northern
and Southern christians should
I be stopped. We want no old grievanances
raked up. The war is over?let
! us bo at peace. No man with a particle
of intelligence will deny that there
are good christian tnon in every State
of tiie Union, neither will any man
claiming ordinary intelligence deny
thai there arc had men in all the
.States. No particular section of the
country can claim a monoply of the
good, nor can every evil be assigned to
any particular locality.
\Ve think christian peoplo had better
cease villifying each other, and not
convict themselves out of their own
months of in consistency. Since the
war the masons, and every other order;
in the United Slates except the christian-}
lmvo re-united with each other
and blotted out the wounds and scars
inflicted by the war. Then in ilpoxxi/)(c
//m/ chrin/iauit hare Iran of brother
I'l fovc and rectmcUiution than inrti of
i ilia worhl! No Southern merchant,
printer, manufacturer, lawyer or doctor,
ever abuses the Nor! hern men of
the same profession as tbo christians
do.
Wo hope in the future that Mr.
Wood row will use his powerful influence
to heal over our past differences,
and will direct his splendid paper towards
promoting brotherly love and
charity among a great brotherhood of
christians who worship (hesame Lotd
and pray to the stuuo God, with the
same faith, in the hope of finally
reaching the same goal.
The religion that teaches love, char-j
ity, truth, purity of character, hopo
of a future deliverance from sin, and
faith in Christ is beautiful, but from
the religion that countenances envy
hatred, backbiting, malice and tincharitableness,
good Lord deliver us.
"Behold how good and how pleasant
it is for brethren to dwell together in
unity."

with the small amount of business
they are doing in the way of advertising
and this statement applies to our
own paper as well as to others. Everybody
knows that it is chiefly by
advertising that any of our papers are
supported, and when this source of
revenue is materially reduced, printers
are obliged to do one of two tilings,
viz., cither reduce the size of their paper
or publish at an actual cost in
excess of their income.
Nearly every county papor in this
State should be reduced in size, and the
sooner the proprietors accept the situation
and trim their sails, the better.
In many counties where there are two
papers there should be a consolidation
and reduction in sizo also. Many
good men waste their time and energies
