Jury Presentment. j STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,) j County of Auukvii.le. j ; To His Honor, J. II. Hudson, Prending j Judge of the September Term of the' Cow t for Abbeville Countg: The Grand Jury beg leave to make ' the following presentment: Having at the two last courts held in j this county made presentment of al! I matters of public :mportance, we do not; deem it necessary to reproduce them.i and shall touch upon those matters that! have been specially assigned us at the; present term of the Court in a briefi manner. The Grand Jury visited in a body the; County Jail and found it kept in a most1 satisfactory manner and the prisoners j well cared for. We fouud one of them, I Jake Maxwell, whom we thought needed medical attention and have called the j attention of the County Commissioners I to him. At their request Drs. Temple- i ton and Parker visited the prisoner and 1 we would call attention to their report, hereto attached and marked "IX" We have investigated the offices of| the Clerk of Court, Probate Judge, Treasurer, County Commissioners, Auditor and School Commissioner and found ; them neatly kept and their occupants I fully conversant with the duties of their respective offices and discharging them in a manner highly creditable to themselves and to the County of Abbeville. We regret that we are unable to make | aoy report of the coudition of the Slier- { iff's office on account of the abseuce of I Sheriff Jones who has abandoned the same and left the State. We would recommend that Governor Hampton order an election to fill the unexpired term of that office as soon as practicable. We submit to the Court the reports of the Frobate Jud^e, Treasurer and] County Commissioners as to their finan-] cial matters which are hereunto attached j and marked "A," "B" and "C," and! also call attention to the report of the ( School Commissioner contaiued in the! accompanying copy of the Press and j Dinner. The County Commissioners have called j the attention of the Grand Jury to the; Boisseau fund ; a statement of which i? embodied in their report. We recorj-| mend that they take immediate steps to j carry out the provisions of the will con-1 teining the donation. j A committee of the Grand Jury vis-1 ited the Poor House and found the inmates properly clothed and fed and the apartments in good repair and cleanly; kept. The paupers, nineteen in number, < appeared generally healthy and well j satisfied with their treatment. We find the bridges of the county in1 good repair and that the roads throuph-j out the county have been generally! worked, but in consequence of heavy j rain3 since we suggest that they be re-: paired where necessary. At the June term of the Court held1 at Abbeville C. H. the attention of the I Grand Jury was called to the alleged , cruel treatment of the convicts employed liy the Greenwood and Augusta Rail- j road Company by the presiding Judge, I . J.B.Kershaw. At the request of the Grand Jury a committee consisting of j seven members of that body were appointed to go down to the stockade aud j investigate the charges preferred against; the said company. Upon the report of the investigatirfg committee and other evidence brought before the Grand Jury * ' ? r J ? *. we beg leave to say tnai we iouuu *iuj real grounds for the charges and further j to confirm the report of said committee Gen. Bradley has placed before the j Grand Jury a communication fromj Major Parmele, (who was appointed by | Governor Hampton at the request of the railroad company to investigate these charges which have been circulated since the visit of the committee,) in which he says, "after a very thorough examination of the matter I am entirely satisfied that the charges against your company are without real foundation;! in fact I found convicts well housed and clothed and in good condition?showing no signs of brutal treatment or neglect." In conclusion the Grand Jury cannot refrain from expressing their hearty commendation for the able and impartial manner in which your Honor ha? . discharged the duties of the present terra and must express their high appreciation for the many favors which they have received at the hands of tbe court, as well as the State's able Solicitor and j the officers of the court. In retiring from the position which { the members of the jury have occupied j during the present year, they desire, I through their Foreman, to express the] hope that the quiet and peaceable year | through which we have just passed, may be a bright omen of a more peaceable and prosperous year, that will follow after be who has redeemed us from our political troubles has been restored to the head of the government. Respectfully submitted, Wesley A. Black, Foreman.

Wo publish this morning additional tokening particulars of the ravages of his pestilence. The accounts arc liarowing and heartrending. The cities, owns and villages of tho Mississippi "alley are reeking and pestiferous cliar- j id-houses whero putrefying corpses lie inburicd for days for want of hands to ay them in the grave. The dead arc onnted by thousands, the fever-stricken nd dying by tens of thousands. All | ndiistry is at a standstill, and hundreds , f thousands of poor people arc out of mploymcnt. This state of things will ' ontinuc until the frosts of December hall conquer the fever. Until the cold reather, tliat is to say, for the next ten I reeks, plague, pestilence and famine, a ! hastly triumvirate, will hold their court 1 f death in that fated region. Let us | liink of it here in Abbeville. Ton weeks 1 cveiity days, each with its terrible tale of roc, will slowly pass before any hope ! an eoino to tlie dwellers in that valley of lie shadow of death. It is appalling. J sit nothing more? We read the fcarul details,?how victims aro dying for ick of nurses, medicines, and food,? tow famine is stalking in the wake of he plague, how money is needed to feed ( lie living, comfort the dying, and bury lie dead ; we read all this and our sympathies go forth to our fellow-men in i few Orleans, VicKsburg, Memphis, ' Srenada and other stricken and decima- ( pd towns. Is that all that goes out from j is tho people of Abbeville? Do we not ead also how distant cities and towns ] nd villages, all over this broad conti- 1 icnt, and away over the ocean, aro send- i ng more than sympathy,?are showing lie helping hand as well as tho feeling i cart, and giving liberally of thcirmeans j the people of the Mississippi Valley? i >ur own State is high in that roll of lion- j ur. Charleston has contributed eight ' lousand dollais, four doctors and ten | urscs, anil her work is not vet done, 'hroughout the whole State funds have con raised, subscriptions of clothing ml blankets made; churches, masonic )dges, tomporanco sociotif-s,- volunteer ?sociations of ladies, theatres, even barjoms,?all have come forward and help:1 in the noble and necessary work, coking over the list of places contribung, the eve seeks in vain for Abbeville. Abbeville is poor and needy ; so was io poor,widow whoso little mite out eighs tlio wealth of Solomon. Wo hope > be able next week to publish to the orld that Abbeville has done what she mid for the sufferers by yellow fever. ,et someone take it in hand,?the town mncil, the clergy, or the marshals of the ay at our groat gathering next Saturday, f thoy neglect it, the ladies will put lem to shame. r'ho arc the Straightout Democrats? There seems to be a misunderstanding nong some people of this State as to ho arcStraightout Democrats. We beeve a "Straightout'' Domocrat to be one ho unhesitatingly stands upon the latform of the party and faithfully f jides bv all the rules and regulations f D I nanatiug from its acknowledged au- 1 lority. Governor Hampton, in our , )inion, is a perfectly "Straightout" I t -..,1 miiuui iiv, ranvi uu/ou n n\/ ?n v; <ti i**v v??f-| it vsiriiinco from him and his principles, re furthest from being true "Straiglitit" Democrats. According to the C'onitution of the State Executive Commit?e, in their address, no man who would eny the negro all his rights under the onstitution is a Democrat, and any man ho would foster race prjudice or cause issension in our ranks has no claims to le possession of Democratic principles, o man who would "scratch" a party omination for either State or County ofce has the least claims to be a Straightlit Democrat. A Straightout Democrat ill faithfully observe the rules and lws of his party. If every man is to be law unto himsef the party will disintgrate, and abetter organized and a more >rrupt party will take charge of the tate. ltather tlian allow this calamity > befall our people, it is better to read ut of the party all foinenters of strife, l iid all who do not fight within the party j ncs. An open enemy is less dangerous f lan a spy within the camp. *-? f Columbia Class Legislation. > In our columns this morning our ?aders will find an account taken from [ icRegister of a meeting of'"Working- > len" in Columbia, where certain curious J ^solutions were passed. Wo furnish lem to our readers "as information." hoy clamour for representation for < working-men." Query,?what is a j, orkingman ? Is he a farmer, a clerk, a 1 iwyer, an editor, a negro laborer ? All v icse men work, and all but the last j ork as a rule very hard : some of them lav not have "horny hands" but they " link that an aching head does as hard <" rork and is as necessary for the proriuc- [ ion of good work as a "horny hand." A careful examination of the resoluons wtll show what class it is that wants ' epresentation. The milk in the cocoa- 1 ut is perceptible in the resolution about , 10 pay of our legislators. We have i rown suspicious in politics. When a lan prates about love for humanity, he I cnerallv means higher wages for himself: j j iid when a man or a meeting talks of le "working-man" "the poor tax pay- " r," "the poor laborng man," depend up- " n it, it is tho voice of tho office-seeker. s he whole thing boiled down means that j ?rtain men havn't office and are anx- J< >us to get it.

Our friends may bo right, but wo think they will agree with us, that the State need not be in acreat hurry to punish tho corrupt Senator. This much for Patterson. >*ow for tho other matter, lly Hampton's plan of amnesty, he has secured amnesty from the Federal Government for cif/ht hundred illicit whiskey distillers of this State, a large majority of whom would sooner or later have found their way to tho Albany penitentiary, except for his magnanimity to offending Republicans. By the Governor's generous acts towards the minor offending Republicans, he has secured to all of our absent citizens the privilege of returning to their homes, who arc under charge of ku-kluxing; utid in a little while, Democratic offenders against the law will receive substantial evidences of favor from Washington ?all secured by a magnanimous action on our part towards those in our power.

Tlio followinfr preamble and resolutions nere submitted by the commiltee appointed U a previous meetiug todraft resolutions: Whereas our State was rescued in thcevernemorablc campaign of IsTfi from a bondage noro terrible in itsconscnnenccs had It conin ued than any under whose yoke freemen lad ever been compelled by the misfortunes )f war to pass, threatening to destroy the "ruits of centuries of civilized efforts in bclalf of all that .tend to the advancement of >ur people and the attainment of sound prinjiples of morality, virtue and industry : And whereas iu this great work of redemp,lon the workingmen of our State, at great >ersonal sacrifice and peri1, responded to ev>ry requirement for the public good, as witless the noble martydom of l'uckner, of Charleston, whocheerfully gave up bis life in >rder that our safety should no longer be enlangered by the domination of ignorant, faint leal and brutal men; And whereas (he workingmen of the State lave heretofore deferred to the superior edu:ational qualifications of their fellow-citl:ensengaged in the pursuits of life rendering uch accomplishments necessary, hoping hat their wisdom and sagacity would devise neuns whereby those who could work and vere willing to do so might be enabled to tain a II veil hood for themselves and those lependent upon their exertions: And whereas, though our legislator* of the ast General Assembly were in session from he 27th of November until tho of March, it great cost to the tax payers of the Slate, lie character of their legislation has not af brdedany relief to tho laboring classes, but, mi the contrary, the outlonk is more gloomy irul hopeless than at anytime since tlio close if the war; therefore be it ltexutrcd, That the time has come when the vorkingmen should grapple with the affairs >t State ami no longer abstain from seeking >olltical preferment, trusting to common :ense, practical knowledge and feelings in .vmpathy With their own on the part or lieir representatives to transact all business vhich may demand their consideration. JiesoU'cd, That we do respectfully rccomnend to the Itcinoeratle County Convention, o meet on the 17th instant, a full ticket, cotnlosed of persons from tlie varionseallings of ife, and that we do to-night, to that end, luhmit for their consideration candidates for he various officers, with one worklngman br representative in the lower house and one or School Commissioner, and that we do irgc by our personal and joint efforts the seection of our candidates by that body. Resolved, That It is our opinion that the Uateshould afford no protection to monopoics as agal nst the Interests of the poor labortig men, and that we sympathize with our ellow-clllzensof the low country in their enbrced abstinence from toil In the phosphate >eds, to their detriment, without increase of evenue to the State, and to the benefit only >fthe capitalists to whom exclusive rights mve been given, Resolved, That we look with disfavor upon he attempt to reduce the salaries of our legators, as it would eventually result in the jeneral Assembly being tilled by only those vlio could atlbrd the luxury for their own gratticatIon or for purposes inimical to those of >.? !?.? ?i. Rrsolced, That we dcpreeate protracted sessions of (lie Legislature, caused by ambi,ious politicians airing their rhetoric in defence of or in opposition to matters which nay come before it, but that we arc perfectly vllllng to grant a sullleiency of time consum;d in proirotinir desirable objects conducive o the public welfare. Jicnolvrd, That we recommend to our reprelentatlves in the Legislature the proi)riety of ibollshlng the use of convict labor outside of lie place of confinement, inasmuch as it puts lonest labor at a discount without corcspondn? benefit to the State.

NINETY-SIX BURIED IN MEMPHIS YESTERDAY, GO STILL UNIJURIED. The Dead Lie Everywhere, and it is Proposed to Burn Them--DilGculty of (letting the Corpses Carried to the Potter's Ficld--A Last Despairing Appeal for Aid. JWiivf and Courier. Memphis, September 4.?The city at presont isone vast charncl house. The undertakers report ninety-six Interments forthc twenty-four hours ending at t> p. in. Of these ninety-three were caused by yellow fever; seventy-six were whiteand twenty colored. A visit to tlie county undertaker's establlshinent to-night discovered the fact that at nightfall there were about sixty more reported dead, but still unhuried. The question of disposing of the dead Is becoming a serious one. The citizens' relief committee have employed a burial corps of thirty no groes to assist the county undertaker nntl his men, and it has even been Miggesicd to burn tin; dead if thc.v cannot be burled more promptly, as corpses 11 re known to have laid iinburied for forty-eight hours, hurthenlng the air with a foul odor and becoming so revoltingthat people have lied the neighborhood, and it Is with difficulty that men can be hired to haul them tothe Potter's-Field. A. F. Cook, a Howard visitor, has been taken down. Mayor Flippen being sick with fever, Dr. I). F. Goodyear, president of the Common Council, is acting as mayor. A false report has cone forth that all the banks are about to close. On the contrary, all the banks are open, and will remain so. In answer to many inquiries abroad as to what kind of provisions were needed, MaJ. Willis, of the citizens' commit tee, states that salt meats and flour arc the most needed for the destitute who are being fed by the citizens' relief committee. The drain upon the various relief organizations Is very great, for In addition to attending to theslck and destitute, there have been several calls for relict from adjacent towns, which were promptly met. A panic was created at Colllnsville In this county yesterday by the death of two citizens supposed to be caused by fever. The town has been almost depopulated. The following appeal represents somewhat the condition of affairs: An Appeal to I lie lleuxzcti norm jrnm tnc rinance Committee nf the Citizens' Relic} Asso eintiun of Memphis: We ask your aid that we mn,v bo enabled to feed and clothe our destitute, furnish necessary niateriat for burying our dead. This appeal is only made at the last extremity and In view of the fact that another week will exhaust the means already given by u generous people. Death has laid his heavy hand upon us. The destitute cry for bread and the sick for such care as can only be given by open handed generosity. Those desirous of giving aid can address Jatnes C. Prestye, N'o. ji Union street; W. N.Thaeher, First National Hank, or S. H. Clark, Plicenlx Insurance Company. The Relief committee of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows also appeals to members of the order.

The Undertakers Unable to Bury Dead Bodies Fast enough?Decomposing Bodies Found in Deserted Houses. Memphis, September I.?Tho plague Is ex, tending two or three miles from the city, and flnding victims among those who lmve kept nway since the epidemic broke nut, Indicating that the atmosphere in the city and for miles around it is thoroughly poisoned with the infection. The burial of the dead lias be come a matter of serious consideration. Undertakers arc drawing upon every resource for burying material,and now it Is almost Impossible to get grnvc-dlgsrers. Stilt there nre linndreds'of able bodied men crowding around ; the ^commissary depots bowling for rations. : The demand for physicians Is so great that If one Isseen on the street lie Is immediately surrounded by petitions for him to visit and ad, nilnlsler to sick persons. Two cases of fever have broken out nt the Father Matthew's Aid Camp, six miles northeast of tills city, one of the cleanest and healthiest localities in the vicinity of Memphis. A number of canes are also reported 1 from Fort Pickering, the southern suburb, which has been exempt from epidemic of any character since 1 Kf>7, when It wan almost depopulated by yellow fever. It Is spreading rapidly In Chelsea, the northern suburb, and 1 in the southeastern part of the town new cases are fjulte numerous. By this It may he seen that the disease has taken entire possession of the city and Its suburbs, the camps ; several miles away from the city, north and 1 south, not even being exempt. The visitors continue to report dead bodies ' found. VlsltorSenunes bad f>ccaslon to enter the upper .?torles of the Library building adjoining the Memphis Theatre, this afternoon.

Persons living In the building say they saw a while man go Into that room drunk several days ago, but had not seen him , since. The saw-mills ami the lumber-dealers hav| Ins closed their business, the county under! takers announce their inability to bury the dead. It is thought the Mayor will press all the lumber to bo found, to be converted Into cotllns for the pauper dead, The undertakers I nrc pressed to bury tlic dead, nnd at Elm wood j !

Particularly d?.es the waiting crowd of basket holding peopleahnut tho commissary department nwakon In the writer's memory tho days following tlie capture of the city of Savannah, when the people of a starved town, mnnv of the members of the families of the first social position, went daily to take their place in a lone line and draw the rations which the sonorous people of tlieXortn had sent ill groat shiploads to tho suffering Southern port. Here tho crowd Is made up of nogrocs.who sit on the curbing, sit on the pavement of the street beyond tho ntlllns: of the commissary denot, and. elutehingthoir baskols and tho orders from ward committees, watch Intently the lartre door and listen long iu vain to hear mini nun mimt; pifiimunrrii nv inc macK crlor mounted on a box upon Inn window'* ledire.

All applications of the needy are made to ward committeemen, whose duty it Is to look Into thojustice of the- claims made to them, and then to prlve a draff on Commissary Maceabe for the number' of rations and the number of days. This draft Is presented, and the holder's name and time for drawing and number of rations are entered in a largo book. From this book they are fed In turn as long as their drafts call for. Ovr?r HO.OW rations have been Issued so far, and the demand Is Increasing dally In proportion to the rapidly growing want. and utter destitution among the colored people. The books of the commlssary are admirably kept, showing every ounce of food received through any source and showing clearly Its disposition. AN ALABAMIAN ASSASSINATED. The Sole Object of the Crime to Settle up the Estate--Cold-lJloodcd Confessions of the Official and his Accomplice. San Francisco, August 16. ? Troy Dye, Public Amlnlstrator of Sacramento county, has made a full confession concerning the murder of A. M. Tullis formerly of Alabama, on Girand Island. He confesses to have Instigated the murder for the purpose of getting control of theestate of tbedeceased. He Implicates as perpetrators of the deed, Edward Andersou formerly In his employ, and another party, name not known. Anderson has also made a confession corroborating that of Dye. Anderson was to receive S7,000 to do i thejob. They had previously tried to kill Tullis by poison. They had also discussed the murder of other citizens. Dye has heretofore borne a good reputation In the community, and his connection with the aflair has created the utmost excitement and surprise. I'he details of the confessions are to the fol- , lowing efl'eot: Dye had found the ofllce of Public Administrator unprofitable, and said several limes, in jesi, uiai nc wouiu nave 10 , kill some one to make it pay. The idea made J n deep impresslou on his mind, and he took Anderson, whom ho had for a long time had I in ills employ, in liis butcher shop, and another party, yet unknown into his council. < Dye and Anderson charge the other with be- < Ing the original tempter. They finally net- 1 I led on Tuilis as their victim, Dvc had been his /1 friend and neighbor forl2ycara, and knew the value of his properly, and as Tuilis tad t never been communicative concerning his Family atlairs, it was supposed that lie liad no relatives to claim the estate. 3vor two pionths ago, Anderson and the unknown party, wont to Tuilis' place to put :lie plan into execution, but their courage "ailed them. Dye urged the crimo persistent- , y, and Anderson conceived the Idea of niurier by poison. A bollle of poisoned cocktails ivas prepared in asaloon kept by Dye & Clark, II Sacramento, and Anderson went to Tuilis J Wtensibiy in search of work. Anderson gave lim the bottle,after a number of drinks together from u boil I e of good liquor, and loft, or some reason this plot failed. It was then " lecided thai bold work was required. The I* joat was buil'v at Dye's house in Sacranento, and Anderson pulled it down ho river, lie was joined by a conederato below ; 111 e city, and they proceeded to Tuilis' ranch. They found lim in the orchard, knocked him lown with a sand-bag. and shot J? iim"? in several places. This was tho; J ivenlng of Thursday the first instant, at 7: ),clock. Dye this evening stayed at his house n Sacramento, till 8 o'clock entertaining a visitor; Ke excused himself, took a huggy, 1 irovc down the river 16 miles, met the nssas- J iins at an appointed place and drove thera I >aok to Sacramento. I During the ride they related all the circumtances of the murder to Dye. The trio re urncd much under the Influence of liquor. , Dye says Anderuo'i had revealed to him Times of his rast life, Including; the murder or .wo sheep-herders, In iho vicinity of SHCrarnento. Dye's plan for realizing on the estate >f Tullls was to compound with the creditors. Ills legitimate commissions would have been ibout 83,200. Dye has always borne a Rood eputation, but parties, now coming forward, ifllrm that he was a bushwhacker during the lute war and pillaged and murdered Indiscriminately, The confessions cover about . sljiht closely printed columns, developing ivory stage of progress to the commission of the crime, and neither party will be nl lowed to turn .State's evidence, and the District Attorney is confident of convicting . both. 45 Years Before the Public. * THE GENUINE UK.

PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pressure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of memory, accompanicd with a painful sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of Ifairinnpc- fln/1 Kn to pacilv I VT \~<Xl ill V.JJ UIJU U\.UUIk^ y liV M*J VMUll^ startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon rip fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases hare occurred where few of them existed, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial.
