\ rrescuJmi'KJ of (iraict! Jury. To His Honor, Jiubjc A. P. AIdrkh: Wo, the Graml Jury of Abbeville! count v, be<j leave to make die following j-resPDl merit: We buve nothing of great public; interest to mention, rbut congratulate] the people upou tbe general improve-! merit of our county; both on account of the peace and good order and of the! bright prospect of h full harvest. We, cannot over, estimate the beneficial re-1 Milts of the 8t'?ek Law, and believe that very soon it will have no opponents fruiu j anv source. We have exaroiued the several office.--: in 1 lie court hou.-e, iu as thorough a; manner as is practicable. We find the I Treasurer's office iu good condition, a-' report of which we herewith file marked; "A," shows the transactions of the oflioe} and speaks for itself*. I We do not deem it necessary to tnen-j tion the condiiiou of eacii office, for! upon examination, we find each one well kfpt and creditable both totheofli-! cers and to the county. We annex to this Presentment, a report from the Judge of Probate's of-: 1 il... C..nnfi. ( Vim miusmn. f Deo, aim iruiu mc vuui, ( cr's office. We would respectfully call j the attention (if our members of the!: legislature to recommendations by the I Auditor in reference to some changes iu j manner of making up his books, the), labor and cost of which are very great.] We would recommend that the roof of i the Jail be repaired and painted,in order j that some holes in the tin may be stop ! ped, which are likely to work serious! injury if suffered to remain in the pres j * cut condition. We cannot pass over the fact of the I j cscape of two prisoners from the Jail: sometime since. We are informed that! t they were not confined in cells but al lowed to remain iu the passage of the!1 * Jail aud to occupy rooms that wcreun-jj locked, by which they were allowed tooL much latitude. We would further say I; that there seems to have been some neg- j t . ligcuce in locking the door of the pas-1 ? l l. . 1. ??.. ni K.iin.i-j U'dl-ii i ' SflfO, 10 WU1CU lunc uiu i I confined. jj The inmates of the Fuor Ilotue seem i \ to be well cared for and no recommeu-If dations appear to be necessary. |f There are complaints in regard to L the condition of the roads, especially L those in Calhoun's, Magnolia and Cokes < bury townships. In the County Commissioner's report there is mention made of the nonpayment of the taxes of last year by the Greenville aud Columbia KaiJroad, which were tendered iu Bills of the ! Bank of the State. The county suffers a loss of nearly 81,000, which sum is greatly needed in defraying expenses. 1 We do heartily insist and ur^e that 4 some steps be tak^u by which this tax L mav be collected. ; "r 1 /"V.,,,-,*,- If w e recouimemi iuai< wc vuuui; > Commissioners provide now indices for ? the Clerk's officc, as iudicatcd iu his ' report which is annexed to this present* r aient. . i The Clerk of Court suggests that, a? i the index of his office for Deeds and ! Mortgages are so much encumbered j with martter that is entirely extinct, it r having,been the custom, of his predeces- > sors to index liens in the same book * "with Deeds and Mortgages, and it being r 50 tedious and cumbersome to thid any-1) thing of value that new indexes for the ; office be furnished, aud that all Jlort ! gsges and Deeds be taken from the 1 old indexes and put in the new. y We therefore recommend that the : books be furnished, and that suitable i compensation be given the Clerk for the t work. t Respectfully submitted, W.

Thomas Ewing, Democratic mberof Congress and advocate o] greenback and inflation j^licy ha? t been nominated l?y the Columbus nvention for Governor of .Ohio, is nomination is considered as a tiet of the Thurmun element of Oh in moeracy, not thatThurman wanted nomination himself, but because favored the renomination of Cover Bishop, a hard money Deniot. Their action in nominating ing instead of his opponent, GenI Ilice, was done p'irtly in the hope Inducing the Greenback party of ,t State into a coalition with them, 1 thus certainly securing the elecii ol'Ewing. n Columbus, June 4, the Greenback minating Convention, however, pted a resolution directing the airman to rale out of order any olution yr motion looking to a coion with the Democrats. Gen. A. mders Piatt of Logan Conlity was ninated for Governor) and Hugo ?yor of Stark County fbr Lieuten. Governor. Ion. Charles Foster, a Hayes Iteilican, has been put in nomination Governor tin the Republican tickmd thus it will be seen that the ers are on the track, and much deals on the result. With Ohio dematic there is good reason to hope for cess in the Presidential campaign ISSO. The Greenback party, if they not see it now, will be obliged to before the election that their tnces of success is without a reasoned liope. Should they go with either the other parties it is fair to prene that theirs will be the deciding e. Ewing is little short of aGrcen?Uor and it is hoped that he may see the vote of that party. Fish in the Savannah. 'he subject of stocking our streams h fish has of late attracted much ?ntion from public spirited citizens various sections of the State, and Legislature appointed Colonel A. 15utler Fish Commissioner of South olina, but made an appropriation Duly $800 to pay expenses of him " :iud the necessary expenses incitto thyt office. Of course cxcept the patriotic labors of the Com-sioner without pay, he could do little with that amont of money. : are glad to say however, that he worked energetically to discharge duties of that office regardless of meagreness of the appropriation, has already done much, and we glad that lie is giving the Savani his attention at present. A very . resting letter from him on this ject may be found in another colli, which was addressed to the Auta Chroniclc and Constitutionals!, 'i stocking of our streams with fish , matter of great importance to our pie, and we have no doubt that y will Jiighly appreciate Colonel tler'sefl'orts toward the accomplishnt of so desirable an object. + ? Senator Hampton Speaks. enator Hampton last week made a 1 considered speech in the Senate the passage of the appropriation . In that speech he expressly said t by no vote of his would the appriaf.ions for the army be refused ; declared that the army was the jy of the whole country?for the ith as well as the 3$orth?it proed all alike. His allusion to the eident's patriotic action iu a critiperiod in the history of South Carta and Louisiana is just and meritWhile his determination to ope giving the dominant political ty the power to control the elects by the bayonet will meet with a rty response from all true patriots. :> Senator will find his position fully lofsed by his constituents, while Northern section of the country 1 find in it nothing to condemn, lator Hampton has expressed the timcnt of his people.

Greenwood will soon have a valuablo 1 i accession to its refined society in the person of Miss Mamie Watson, daughter of ,! Dr. J. F.

Mr; ( J Smart, has returned from Rome, Oa., ' where she has been attending college. ' Mr. Slicppard deserves the thanks of1 i i all for the supply of good beef which he j is beginning to furnish regularly. 5 There is a decided disposition of color, I ed people here who have been living to, j gettier without the sanction of law, to be j legally married. This, to say the least of 'I it, is a step ft the right direction and in| dicates an advanced recognition of moral obligation and respect for law. Greenwood may expect hundreds of | visitors from Augusta during the Sum, mer months when the Greenwood and Augusta railroad is completed. It will be to Augusta what llarlem now is, an [ unrivalled Summer resort. The Mortuary roll of Greenwood is, perhaps less than that of any town in the ! State of equal size. * , Students who think the few hours spent t each day in the school-room are the ex- i tent of the obligations to themselves and 1 to parents who in many cases are much ! embarrassed to meet their educational t expenses, and spend the balance of their time on street corners in questionable > discussion of trashy matters, have a very ' dissoluto conception of the duties and'] qualities of a true student, and of the!) measure of gratitude due those who are I so deeply interested in their wellfarc. 1 In a previous notice of tho Ladies' So- [' ciety of the Baptist church we inadver-1 ( tently failed to mention the name of h Mrs. Dr, Parks, the very efficient l president ttf whose sedulous efforts in this channol, the church is greatly indebt ' ed. It rarely occurs that the multifarious i demands upon the minister are so unex- 1 ceptionally met as in the ease of Rev. Mr. 1 noctnr t\i? fliA Ituntiuf in 1 this place. It is believed by sagacious minds that the negro hegira will even percolate from ' the Mississippi valley to us. .State lirn- J its do not diminish the peculiar obnoX- | iousness ol' this race to swindling and do- i ceplion.

The race of fierce mastiffs and bull < dogs is rapid 1 j' disappearing.

I J Husbandmen should have ehcerful 11 hearts, full of thankfulness to' the God M of harvests for tho generous result of I their industry which is now being garner- , ed. 1 Gardens arc very badty parched by tho ! protracted dry spell, which, though, has been quite favorable to harvesting, while but little injury has as yet accrued to other species of vegetation. Numbers of liuld threshers aro being set in motion throughout the county. Several have been received at this point. Tho Presbyterian oliurch at this place has a library comprising several hundred interesting and well-selected volj uines. | Oapt. J. T.

It seems that theUoardof Equalization have an onerous work before them not to receive compensation., Greenwood was well represented at Piny Grove Sabbath School last Sunday.

The supply of butter is entirely inadequate to tlie demand and eggs are by no means plentiful. The increasing wheat crop will greatly relieve the local stringency in linancial i matters. While sales may not be as great. . there will be a great deal of bartering | done, and many debts paid in this com- j , in unity. 1 i The proceeds of the Presbyterian festi- ( | val will, we learn, be devoted to mission- c jury purposes. This will moro than make 1 up the deficit in tho average annual api propriation for this object. The member- j I ship of this chftrch will not long be de- \ ! linquent in any worthy object. * ] The old livery stable revised, stocked * ; with a few good turn outs, could be made t | to pay handsomely. jmimmors, instead i oC .suite ritiif delays, would take the inoro expeditions mode of private conveyance j to Abbeville and other near points, and ; the patronage ol' drovers would pay in the Fall. The old church opposito Dr. Watson's could bo easily converted into an elegant fashionable residence, by tearing away the steeple, adding another story with a mansard roof, and double veraiitahs*? : can be bought cheap. ' The young cotton plants are strong and healthy and are growing rapidly. Corn begins to show need of rain but looks ; well. Crops up to this time are well culi tivatcd. and are better diversified than in I almost any previous year. Were it notj! for the lien incubus farmers would enjoy a degree of prosperity not reached at anj' period since the war. Several mules and Aorsos on which liens have rested, have recently died from poor feeding and overwork. At this point is developed one of the most objectionable features of this system. Farmers perceiving that the stock will ; have finally to go uiMor the hammer to ! liquidate the Herts have no longer the stimulant of proprietary interest and the j absence of this is fatal to the interests of farmer and also of the merchant who is I ?1.u i-nnl nivnof nf llm Mfnfk'. j The insurance features connected with 1 j the Knights of Honor, for its extent, is : perhaps as good as auy in existence. It , j has been of substantial benelit to several , individuals in this place. Policies are .

Only two Confederate soldiers who fell in battle or died during actual hostilities , are interred in the Greenwood cemetery. We have never seen better prospect for j an overwhelming grape yield.

Ticket ?Reaffirming the Financial Principles Hitherto Maintained by f the Ohio Democracy. [New York Columbus, June 4.?The Democratic fitato Convention held here to^lny, whlcn nomlnncd Thomas Ewlng for Governor. wa* one of the best attended, most exciting, and perhaps inost important ever held In the State. The nomlnation of Kwing for Governor wni not regarded a? much more than a possibility yesterday, and Rice, who was nominated for Lieutenant-Governor, was believed to atand an equal chance with Bishop for the nomination for Governor. He was not dreamed of in connection with the second place until Ewlng's nomination was assured. Like the Republican Convention of last week, the Convention excited great Interest j here and throughout the county because of ? . the effect it may navo upon uie con test or . next year. That tbe Convention was guided . by the probabilities of the Presidential campaign may be seen In the failure of Gov. BishI op to obtain a renomlnatlon In spite of tbe Democrat ic precedent of giving a renomlna tlon under ordinary circumstance*. Bishop i mode a hard fight for It and died bard, in hfs i death throes giving a mortal stab to the man . who defeated him?John O. Thompson. Un? til the first ballot Bishop and bis friends were r confident, but falling to get a nomination on j that It was seen that It would be impossible . for him to pull through, and the attention of the Bishop backers was then directed tomak_ lng those who defeated him suffer. Bishop e was more in acc6rd with Rice than with Ew. lng, but Rice was being managed by Thomp. t-on,and Thompson it was who had antago4 nlzcd Bishop; hence when It came time In a general break-up tbo Bishop mon went right over to Ewlngand slaughtered Rice, who, nil along, appeared to have the best show for the s nomination. The nomination of Ewlng e means, most likely, a soft money campaign, and it looksas If the Democrats would comi pel the Republicans In this state to make the i fight on a financial Issue. The appointment ' of Gen. Steedman. an old war veteran, to ? open the Convention as temporary Chairman ? and the nomination of Gen. Rico to the sece ond place on tbe ticket, serves notice on the 1 Republicans that they cannot make the fight e on the "bloody shirt" with any prospect of ; success. The balance of the ticket is considi ered to be strong.and altogether the work of i, the Convention is satisfactory to the party, i Judge Gllmonvtho nominee forjudge of the ! Supreme Courf^nd Judge Pillars, the noinl> nee for Attorney-Genernlshlp, are the present f incumbents of these offices and are botfc good 0 men. The balance of the ticket has been well 1 selected. The Germans of Hamilton* County ; get the Auditor of the State, Chase Remeelln, r iind the Irish element or the Cleveland dls- ; s trlct get a member of the Board of Public , e Works?Gen. Patrick O'Marrnh. There has ] * been some talk of Rice's refusing to run for the second place, but It in authoritatively an- < nounced that he will accept the nomination. : . The leaders are in good spirits over the re' suit of the day's work. The first ballot resulted as follows: Rice, i ? 282; Bishop,205; Ewlng, 180; Ward, 6. Nec- j essary to a choice, 317. , Before the second ballot was announced votes began to chancre to Ewlng from Bishop. ! From that time out it was n stampede, and '* Ewlng was declared nominated with a bur|J rah. ' The ticket as completed stands as follows; ? For Governor, Thomas Ewine of Fairfield; 3 Lieutenant-Governor, A. V. Rice of Putnam; Treasurer. Anthony Iiowellsof Stark; Auditor, Chase Reemclln of Hamilton; Judge of ?. the Supreme Court, W. J. Oil more of Preblo; r Attorney-General, Isaiah Pillars of Allen; n Member of the Board of Publlo Works, Pat; rlctt O'Marrnh of Cuyahoga. I) The following platform was adopted: e Jiaohrd, That the Democracy of Ohlodo? tnand free and fair elections, and to that end l- denounce all Interference with elections by . the military power; that the experience of r this and other countries has abundantly \ proved that the presence of troops at the polls Is destructive of the freedom of elections and c imcompat Ible wlth the existence of free lnstl,f tutlons; that tho laws enacted by Congress, ft which, under the pretence of regulating Congressional elections, interfere with the elece tlon of State officers and overthrow the laws of the State itovcrnlng the choice of such offlcers, arc unconstitutional, and for that reason ought to be repealed; tlmt they are also Inst ru men la 11 ties of fra ud, force, and corru ptlon, by which the party In power uses the money of the people to corrupt, and thousands of irresponsible officers to harass and coerce the voters, and especially by force and fraud to deprive our naturalized citizens of the right tt\ v/ifn* nnH ft\r tho*/* rnaumm nlcn Kiiid laws ouirht to be Immediately repealed. * Hesolvctl, Tliftt Impartial Juries are*es*entlal . tothe administration of Justice, nnd thereby * to the preservation of liberty; that 110 man can besecurp In his person or property when v the Juries are parked anil controlled by the ' Government for despotic and partisan purr. |h)ses; that, under tho Federal Jury lawn now h In exlstcncnjurics may be, anil have been, so > packed and controlled, and that the higher ' interests of Justice and free govern men tre!, quire that these laws l?e changed so h* to so cure fair. Impartial, and independent Juries in , the Federal courls. . Jtrtolvcd. That the Republican minority In * Congress, by refusing to votesuppllcs to maintain the Government unless the majority would agree to the use of the troops ut tho polls, and also to the maintenance of the un. constitutional, corrupting:, violent, and une Just election lawn aforesaid, and the President e of the United States, by his unprecedented e use of the veto power In order to perpetuate tl said laws, and the use ofarmed troops at the c polls, have shown a spirit of faction and aden votlon to party snccoss. Instead of tho welfaro t- of the country and the preservation of its ik Constitution and liberties, that demand the i> condemnation of the whole American pcop pie. 1 Iicwlvcd, That President Hnycs, by his fre> quent interposition of the veto In order to de> feat legislation that was plainly constitution* y al, that in no way Interfered with the inded pendenee of any other department of the Governmcnt, and liad received the most mature e consideration ofCongress. has shown an utter i. disregard of the considerations and principles c that iuduccd the Insertion of the veto power u in the Constitution, and a like disregard of it the wishes and welfare of the people, ft ftrxolvcd, That we declare it as the sense of 3. the Domocraby ofOhlo that not a dollar should d be.ap propria ted by Congress to pay soldiers, it. marshals, deputy marshals, or supervisors of s- elections, to interfere with or control clece lions. ,-t ilcxohed, That the efforts of the Republican u party to open and keen altvc the war feeling ie between the North and South are to be conit. dcinned by every lover of his country. . lleiolced.

The bar ',, of Newberry recently held a meeting and ln. dulged in a lot of flapdoodle about Judge Al** | drlch at the lato extra term of court.
