The presentment of the grand jury at the last term of the Court, Quid IS*ulie's paragraph, Dr. Mc Bride's certificate, and!J County Commissioner Mattison's publi-jj cation of 'he terms of contract with Mr J j Miller to take proper earo of the paupers j ^ of Abbevillo County, have directed pub1- ] | lie attention to this matter, and We believe 1 . . i. every slmdc of opinion lias been ex- j pressed. Tho grand jury in our opinion, should have gone further than they did. As we, understand it, the County Commission-j crs are responsible for the keeping of the Poor House. Mr. Miller is not a recog- [ nized ollicer of tho County, and any der-! dictions at this institution should have been charged to them and not 'solely to Mr. Miller. By the contract with the Couuty Commissioners Mr. Miller was to; furnish each pauper with a certain amount j of food, attention, ?fecM for which ho \yas to roceive a specified amount of money, j 8omo expression has been mado as to j < the profits which Mr. Miller derives from j his contract. For our own part, we be-1 lievo that he orany other man who undertakes tho caro of tho poor should 11 be well paid for his excellent services. , The question is, has Mr. Miller complied with the contract? If not, has the Coun- 1 !?: ,ln_ I ty vuuniiissiviit;is umuc bnu v.v/ . duetions from his account for such dcre-11 liction. If Mr. Miller agrees to furnish Ij each pauper weekly, with 2 lbs. bacon, 1 j i lb. beef, 8 lbs. meal, 2 lbs. llour, i lb. cof- ! fee, i lb. sugar, J lb. salt, i lb. tobacco, j and he furnishes only half that amount j are the County Commissioners faithfully ' discharging their duty, if they do notdis-' | count Mr. Miller's bill in exact propor- !1 tlon to his dereliction T Have they re- i quired Mr. Miller to prove his monthly 1 account, accompanied by oath that he has j t furnished the meat, llour, bacon, beef, {' vfec., as per contract? If they pay outj money for the articles al>ove mentioned | J in excess of the amount actually furnish- ' ed, arc they not liable on their own j, bonds ? The treatment of the poor and j' 1 the amount of food furnished them are j questions of facts, which should be ascer- j tained definitely and in n way as to satis-11 Jy the public that its wards are not being j j ill-treated, and that the public money is 11 not being squandered. If the County j Commissioners are paying Mr. Miller H large amounts of money without a proper | regard to the terms of the contract and | J the wolfare of the County they should bo | < required to rescind tho contraot, and be J J allowed an opportunity to make their ex- j i planation of their conduct to tho grand!) jury or me next term ui wmu j. We believe that our Coutitv Com mis- j f sioners are faithful and efficient officers, |j and we believe that much has been said ' ( about them and Mr. Miller in connection i ] with the Poor House, which is unjust and should not have been said. We believe also that the management of our poor will compare favorably with the! j management of any similar institution, j t and for tho sake of the good name of all j J -concerned, tho truth or falsity of these j t rumors should be settled forever. J Organizing for the Campaign. j Our people are now called upon to take l the first step in an important campaign., f The County Club will moot on Sale Day ' t in May, and the local clubs will meet at [ en earlier day to appoint delegates to represent them at Abbeville, and the meet- 1 ingat Abbeville will elect delegates to represent us in Columbia, and at Columbia they will elect delegates to tho Na-? tional Democratic Convention iuCincin-Ju uati. At presont the State has been can- j 3 vassed by tho respective friends of Gen-;? eral Gary and General Hagood in the in-! J terests of these men for the office of Gov- j1 crnor. Tho election of delegates to the 1 County Convention is of unusual import-1' once in that the vote of the County may! t hn f.ir fiari' nr Haffnnfl. Tlift f!nnntv,1 ?J, j, should bo fairly represented. If the, voters want Gary, they should oloet Gary !} delegates. If they want Hagood or any! candidate representing that wing of the; j Democracy, to be their standard bearer, j they should elect delegates who would j represont that sentiment. Let there be J no misunderstanding on this matter. Choose your delegates with a view to sup-; j porting whichever wing of the Dernocra-!1 cy you may prefer. Either candidate j would bo better than to be misrepresent- i1 ed. The local clubs and the County club; should express their convictions, and be! certain as to the convictions of any who j may aspire to represent us in the State i Convention. *4^* Cadet Whittaker. This colored cadet at West Point was beaten, tied hand and foot to his bed posts, his ears badly cut a few nights ago. He is the only colored cadet in the insti-! tution. Whenever a colored man in the! South received injuries of any kind, for; %ny offence, the Radicals heretofore have \ charged it to the Democratic party. Now j whou a colored man at West Point is mal-1 treated, they attempt to show that he did I it himself. The Republicans, you see areBometimes inconsistent. Oar CinciunAti Visitors. [Auffusin Chronicle and Sentinel.] The people of Augusta welcome most cordially and fraternally the Cincinnati excursionists who have come amongst them, in i this beautiful season of the year. We wel come mem ok meauvance guaru 01 mousanus more wlio will perhaps venture here to stav with us and help build up this region which | in favored in no many ways, and which otters [ so mony attractions to the seeker after health, I blamy climate and industrial Investment.! Wetrustour visitors will have no cause io complain of the reception given them. They ] will find that we have done much to recover [ from difficulties incidental to tiie past tltteen or twenty >cnrs, and that we are now out rising ground, and hone to beep there, by our : own etlort and the aid and comfort of many 1 friends both East and West. Our finances,1 municipal and Individual, arc In a healthy , condition. Though a little slow In most pur- ' ticulars, we have much to show in the way ol 1 substantial improvement and genuine thrift. ; We have not so much "push" and "enter- ! Erlse" as some other communities; but we ave benefited by the maxim that "he who , builds solidly labors long under ground." Not only can we boast of being one of the largest Interior cotton marts, but also one of the foremost Southern cities in cotton manufacture. Our guests will see for themselves what haR been done In this respect, and a trip up the canal and a view of the Locks will < demonstrate still further the bright future In store for Augusta. Our railroads run every- i where in connection with other great syx- \ tems. We have the choice of three seaports. Not satisfied with Western facilities already guaranteed and so highly appreciated, we are endeavoring, with rfatterlng prospects, to make our union with that section still more close and naturally remunerative. A glance at our churches and schools will show what < has been done for religion and education: and i the numerous flow spots in the city will prove to all who visit us that refinement and beauty have a pleawint abiding place with us. We venture to say that no norsons from Kast or i West ever came to lis that they did not like : us, and we feel satisfied that our present guests will not be exceptions to that statement. This may seem a little lacking in 1 * humility, but it fs strong in truth. Besides, i as the Georgians who went to Cincinnati i recently returned with admiration and affection for Ohio's sons and daughters, we i arc anxious that that shall beta reciprocal I i feeling, and, with characteristic Southern frankness, we say ro openly. We welcome our Westerns visitors a'brcth- i ren who have the tamo pride of and love for the common country that we have ourselves. ; On the score of patriotism, the general wel- i fare, individual fraternity and commercial intercourse, we have but one heart and one mind. Inspired bv this sentiment, we greet i our Western friends enthusiastically, and again und again make them more welcome. Ocr Post Office.?Due West has a daily : mall line which connects with the Greenville ( and Columbia Railroad every morning, and very often twice a day. We suppose there Is as larec a Money-Order business done here as In any other otnee in the county, and iii fact, in all Its other branches. Our ellicient Post. Master, I). \V. Hawthorn, Km]., has furnished ns with the following facts in reference to ' the money order department: The money order olfiee, for the first quarter ending :ilst of March, 1880, issued 417 money orders, I amouotlng to $8,000.73.

He enter-11[ fil the factory there and passed through va- !1-1 rlous grades of employment until he became JJI t head operative. During this period, how-!1' jver, his employment was interrupted by ex- ; pedltions to Tennessee and Indiana. He also " kept a barroom in Granlteville for a short Js time. Owing to a difficulty with one It. K., J1' May, whom he shot while on a drunken spree i " In (.Jranitevillc, he left that neighborhood and 1,1 found employment in \V. A. Iiolman's store; J5' near Joyce Branch, where he was clerking at' I lie time of the homicide. At IS years of age; 01 lie married a young woman in Granitevilie, from whom he separated after one month's'^ married experience. The fruit of this mar-1 Ul iage is one child. Bates was a quiet enough < Jy man when sober, but was considered danger-" >us and violent when drinking. I rl Bates is one of the few white men who have 03 jeen hanged in this State since the war.

[Pickens Sentinel.] j ^ Last week wo hud occasion to visit Atlanta, s which gave us an opportunity ot noting the'ei amount of damages done to the Air-Line ju Kaifrond by tho recent disastrous rains. The tl "wash outs," we were informed by a gentle- a nnin who counted them, were fourteen In j ti number and all within a distance of twojw miles on the Kerohce mountain. Some of. w them were small and Insignificant affairs h which were repaired in a few hours, but two j it or three were very serious and required ale great deal of time and a heavy expenditure ) e 6l money co repair them. The break on iho n little stream called North Broad was the I v most disastrous. The embankment was luoi '1 feet high and 400 feet of it was carried away, j n The authorities of th?fioad had taken the u precaution to cut down all the trees and col- b lect every thunk and brush in the Held above i c the rond, through which the small stream | n runs, in order to prevent the choking up of I h the culvert and the darning up of the water In during heavy rains, Hut the raiu that did In this dama,.^ was so terrific that no human ie foresight couiu prevent it. ine trees mm q saplings in tlie woods were washed up by the j c roots, und carried down the culvert. choked |e It up and prevented the passage of the water. ii The water stood in a kind of basin, covering' si six or eight acres of ground and (o the depth j a of seventy-one feet. The volume of water 'twas so powerful that the embarkrnent could sj not resist lis weight and was carried away j si with a tremendous clash, carrying dcsiruc- fl tion to timber aud everything else that came! t< lu its way below. The transfer of passengers | y and bnggage was made In vehicles around 1 li the mountain, a distance ot three or iouriii miles, (."ol. Foreacre, the able und energetic ! e Superintendent of the road, was on theju ground superintending the transfer of pnt-jti seugers, as well as the work, with thatcourle- p sy and lute)llgence characteristic of the innn. j I hree hundred hands were at work, anil the 1 cl first trnin it was thought would puss over last </ Thursday. j n Greasing Congressional Throats, ij.! York Herald,1 j a On Friday night a dinner was given In this '[ pity to* several Congressmen, the object of!" which was to reach their minds by an easy ; " channel and influence them to make a re-l^' port in favor of the Interests of the persons;" who make and sell suet for butter. ltlsre-|S! ported that for this dinner there were sup-j11 plied, with many other rare dainties, six'aj hundred bottles of wine and one quarter of a | ol pound of oleomargarine or rendered heel-fat. ] 01 In about that proportion we suppose the oleomargarine would bo tolerable on any b table?that Is is the wine was good. Kvery 1 n bottle of wine would then have simply lo n wash out of the drinker's throat the taste of; ci llwwii a hniulr^l iiih! tlftinth nnrt. tif Jin ntlllCG v? of fat, and there ought to be no doubt of the ii success of the operation. It occuirdto us tj upon Urst hearing of tills dinner, us doubt- w less It did to many others, that thus to givejh Congressmen appointed to inquire Into the iv subject a practical acquaintance with oleo-'n rnorgurlne was not a bud idea; but If they! rc were to be made really acquainted with the'oi substance it should have been used more d freely. It has been considered from time im-, ? memorial that tho averaue Congressman is largely accustomed to eating dirt, and crow, I mill bis own words, and other delectable , things of that sort; and If this be true we suppose be could cat curt-wheel grease in ' about the proportion In which lie ate oleo- ' margarine at this dinner and never discover i. from the taste that it was not an ambrosial .. diet. Hut even if these Congressmen bad , been filled up with oleomargarine and had J., liked it, what relation would that fact have to the complaint in regard to oleomargarine ?which is dmply that some not very serupu- i c lous grocers are endeavoring to (orre the sale j1 of thTs substance to the injury of the butter i'"' trade, one of the most important trades in j w this btate?

Then there ' ,111st be more expensive singing.and more! xpensive everything about the church; and j uletly, gradually, little by little, the money-1 hangers get the upper hand, and the church (tmes to be carried on entirely as a secular i ustitution, and draws the intelligent and! elect; and by and by there is a fashionable! udienee gathered: and then they say, "This j hurcli is established." And sometimes it is I lid, very proudly. "Why, you never saw j ucha neighborhood as that was when we * 1st went into it; but we knew it was going! :i be settled by and by, and that tine house's rould be built there, and that n wealthy popu-1 ition would come in, and we built accord-j ugly; and ever since we have had a good j hurcli,such as respectable men were willing i j bring their families to; and now we are Driving, IIIIU uuiv I IIUIIKII HI ji.ijr <111 <1111 c.\enscs, unit art*K?tting on well." j' God forbid that I should say that. such i liurchcs do not do any good; they may, t hey | 0, do it grout deal of good, and they prevent | iuch harm; hut they are not the types ol'i hrist's churches. They have lost the thought uit the place of the church Is to stand like a J indioonn candlestick in tlie community,! nd cast iis outside of itself upon siil 1 lose round about, and that to lie sailing | lemselves enterrially with the gospel to! 1.'.ke suri' that they and their children shall | e saved In heaven is not their tlrst duty; to i take sure they uud their children shall be! ilU'd; but their business Is to sail th? coin* j innity. "Ye are the salt of the earth;" "ye j re the light of the world;" and the business f every Christian church is to take care, not I I Itself, but of the community, ! The tlrst danger, then, is that churches will j ring to an end burden-bearing and self-do* lal, personally or collectively; that-the? wilt | ten strive to gain influential, educated and :spcctable members; and that then will i ring up among tltetn, gradually hutaimost j icvliably, that chance by whiclt spontanoi-| , gives i'lace to regularity and order; and! here churches grow front theoutside, where,; i the transition from the progressive and irmativeto tlie consolidated and oonserva-1 ve periods of their life, they go In solely for j gularlty, for order, or for exact statements. I doctrine, they are for exact statements of: taurine, incy are 011 mc rorni away ironi niu ilicy arc crustaeeons. Tlicn, another grent. danger, n* I have liint-11 I, lies In the change which tSie ideas of the 1 j. liurcli undergo Iii regard to the aim of its * xisteiioc; so that, instead of becoming n!| Dvver for the conitnunily, a light lor the! i hole world, it becomes simply a light, for I < self and a power for itself. Hundreds of t hat are called |iowerful churches are asxo- \ mtiiiiis of orosi.erotis families lor tint eiln-U ition of their children for heaven. | There urn prosperous ami fashionable J liurclics tli:it have a few pews lino which ley allow strangers to go; ihe.y let them .-it. 1 the kitchen or .. ooilshed of tiie house, as it ere; but the spirit of these ehurelies centers n themselves; their spirt is to care for their wn families, for their own children: it ot. to t;.ke enri' of the community, and to eiooiue whoever eomes in as a brother? lis : . ally a brother as if In- had belonged to their ruani/.ation for scores of years. It Is true' lat there is a very ureal work to be done in ie education of our own families, and in ?ring foi* our own children; but it is an asimption tosupjoso that this work can only r> done by formatting Ihe outside communf/, and concentrating all our i lioucht on the isiile community. I aver that there Is nothtac that educates (ny children so much as; iking care of other foilca in church life, c "here is no condition in which the you?g|lion< inn are rising up among us will be'so likely hav? i> imbibe the true benevolence of tin* Gospel intcf if {'brist as where they see t he church under niun t hose influence they are brought, up fervent t'hri nits solicitude for the community around j 60*ij bout it?yea, and for tlio whole world. malt This change Is very natural. .Men in u honi hurcli form friendships among tl emselves. ware 'he.v are accustomed to see each other every for li Sunday, They fall into tlie regular track of grea ibscrvances. Little by little they come to f'apl ell as if there was enough f^r anybody to do turfe 11 taking care of the chuivh?especially if it I * do s such a great church as this. They come to f ruilf ay, "If only we ran donll that Is required by com lie multitudes that continually come to us, surfi bat is as much as could be expected from ,1'gl*1 me getieraiion or class of men." Hut the 'on 1 ntcnt spirit is conservative!. It. iiasceasedto Iher ie centrifugal, and has become centripetal. ar"' Now, theiiospel is this: do?(joy c out?Go j nion e out into the teorltl? < !o ye out into nil the''11,1 I'orld, iind jirrtirh the Gospel In eve?}/ creature. I this 'lie Old Testament said, ".Stwy at home." ul|y 'lie New Tettament says, "Go."

Hut the New Testament j J1.0'" hurch is esteemed to be manly?to be in a ?io? tate of manhood?and it Is tol J to go out in- part o the world to preach tiie Gospel; and when, ^ani n any church, that idea is lost out of tiie \ l'1 >ul|illand out of the pew, It Is a church that shon las'gone back to llii: Ol.l Testament days, "l:ui nut is like the Jews. The education by iv hurch of its own members, then, while it is i duty, and is never lobe neglected, is con- ouB' Islcntwitii the greater idea?Ihe care of Hie oiiiiuunily; and the care of the community t",C1' s one of the methods, and one of the most carr< llicient methods, by winch the church Khali Cl,1T< le cared for by its members. V['ur Of course I have bad my eye ail the time J';"1' ipoll tills church; the pastor, ihevlllcers, and ill the members of it?and upon the period '"V" o which it lias come. w**' It is now thirty-three years (which, accord- V ng to the tallies of Insurance companies, is ? ibout ihe average duration of the genera- J1,01 ion), since twenty-live men and women f ?P' lood on the ground where the lecture room l10}" low stands, and were organized into r. new 1101 liurch; Called from the western wilderness, u|,cc islttiicii was, a young man came hero who s\n" iad nothing but/.c.ii For four or live years le had been labouring as a missionary a part if the time, and as a revival pastor the rest. }lrul le was settled over tills new church.

Fathers in the ministry; ? :ray-haired counsellors in the church, tolcl limso, and in more ways than I have, said; ,, uid 1 ihinlc that in the lirst sermon that he ? (reached, certainly the lirst Sunday-night ermon, be blew the trumpet, and said, "All , ' ro lhat are 111 favor of liborty to the slaves; ult. ome hither; all ye that are In favor of right- ' lown lemperancc work, conic hither; nil ye hat are in favor of peace as the outcome of he (iospcl as against war, come hither; all ye , vhofeel that it is the business of the church J '"" osacriiicu itself for the good ofthccommu- }, * nty, that It may be cleansed, come hither, J'. i?r, by the grace of God, that Is what you V" , hall hear in this place." And for the period fr . ,' il ti'ti or lilteen year the question came up f " . nnually, because ihcminister was put up ai 'J, tie!ion ?vcry year. It was a very trying ^ line.

There is no reason In the vorht why a minister with a salary like mine hon Id not he taxed as much as if he were a >aiik president; and there is no reason in the vorld why tills church should not he taxed in N ts property. It is said that it is working for j0 , lie welfare of the whole community, and h-.i,it makes good citizenship. So it does; ind every honest storekeeper and mechanic Iocs the same thing; and every well-rogula edehurch is doing what every other well- 1" emulated inslitiil'uii Is doing in the eoinmii- jlily. And 1 hold that there should he wit- , oases springing up in Christian churches, '<" inioiig ehriMians everywhere, in favor of ]* lonesty In rendering an account of property, i< j lid in favor of men paying their taxes w'.lIngly and sladiy ; for many men are sneaks l!: n this mailer.
