As It Is | a public document, and as our fcllow-cltlzcns - who compose the grand Jury were acting In the highest capacity of citizens, we presume _ j a few good humored remarks oft that olllcl.il papt-r will not be amiss. Ih the first place, we see no necessity for the erection o f "h good plank fence around the enclosure" of the Jail. Such an invest1.1 nient Would not, in all probability, be a payj llg or.0. j The rccommendntion to collect and appropriate money "to preach thegospol to the in! mates of the poor house" may be amostsu| perh investment, but we arc rather inclined I to the opinion that the money if spent in shoes and blankets would be of more practical service at this season of the year.

It is'not^itaoluteiy certain whether the I let; et will-be a full one or not. There seems to I> / among tiie democrats in this st'ite a want c . * wtthusiasin everywhere, and this fact alon * -* hwiii? " the "IndcDcni 113,1 Bl>U? lnu ... , cnts," the "Greenbaekers," and the Ucpubl cans great hope, and representatives of tlies have been announced as candidate ' ' . , ifor-ofllCc In t lie various parts of the State. In Greenville Judge Cooke, whose record ! so well known In Abbeville, Is ^turning ft .i . State Senator as a Greenback candidate on tOunty ticket composed of Greenbackcrs, It dependents, Itepublleans, and negroes. II! name also appears 011 the Grevnbac State ticket. Mr. J. F. Ilobbs of Lexington, Is nn Inlt pendent candidate for Solicitor of the I'lft \jhd!el;il District, and it Is said that I10 hi some following among the whites in Edy fi?l;l county. I11 Georgetown a full county ticket, compo ed of Independents, Greenbackei's, Ifeullca and negroes, Is In tho field. In Kerslia county Colonel I,. \V. It. Itlalr heads a (.Jrcei back ticket, and goes into the canvass wit the hope of success. In Charleston they ha> 1 n/,inoi ???w! nracnni' a vurivij ui i ...... , ,? ivo. In Beaufort county the stralghtout It publicans have a full ticket. In Ilorry com ty there Is an opposition ticket to the Dcm< erotic tickct. In Newberry the Independent . are watching the prospects and awaiting n opportunity to put out a ticket. In Kdgeflel it Is doubtful what will be done. In Lexlni ton It is probable that the Democrats will n< have a "walk over." The fact Is, that m might refer to the indications of cause f< ? alarm In a majority of the Countios of tl; , Ktale. In our own county we have every reason t * " liave our fears aroused. The Itepublicans an uegrocs arc greatly encouraged by the resu of the elections in Indiana and Ohio, and ai to have a meeting this week to appo'.nt del< gates to a State Convention to nominate ... ... ? - A I.K- nPAItfl, MJUC llCKCt uiiu nisu i?? niii.-iui i ?nc t""*"*1 ty of nominating it full county tickel. The say that If Judge Campbell, of Charleston i General Gary, of Kdgcfleld county can be li duccd to run that they will support the tic! et which either of these gentlemeu woul lead. With eitherof thesegentlemen as lent . ^ erct, they arc confident of success. In Abbeville county the Republicans ha* been anxiously waiting for Independents t announce themselves as candidates, but ! such political aspirants do not appear, the, will probably put out a full ticket, compose partly of names already on our ticket. ... . They will no doubt manifest the stronger ' ' ' opposition to Dr. Xecl, because of his know " " stralghtoot Democratic principles, and be cau*c of his advocacy of local taxation forth Greenwood and Augusta Railroad. In Di . . - Keel's place a number of the Republicans wll make an effort to put the name of Isaac Whit a colored teacher at this piaco. Mr. Parker' speech at Antrcville on the labor questio will satisfy them with him, and his name wl In all probability be retained on the tickel To Dr. Gary, of Cokesbury, as far as we hav been able to learn, there seems to be but littl oojccuon, nnu nis name win i>cniii{)? iviiwi on the ticket. There Is at present but llttl feeling either way about Mr. J. H. Morral but aw there will be a great number of hungr darkies to feed and mollify, It is quite like! that Hannibal Widetnan or Ab Titus wl lake ills place on the Republican ticket, I> Taggart occupies much tiie same positton wit the Radicals that Mormh does, but if no Ii dependent candidate appears on the field, tl: fifth place will perhaps be offtre J to Mr. Jc McKeiler of Greenwood. .? Mr. John R. Tolbert. It is reported will ru on that ticket for Clerk ot Court in opposltic to Major M. G. Z^igier the Democratic nom nee. Thomas Finley is spoken of as a prop< xnan to nupersede Mr. Dul're as Sheriff the County. Owing to his familiarity wi! the office, and the acknowledged absolute 1 nfflclnni'v of Itoiiuhllran iiKolruiits. Mr. J. XiivIllusion's name may be used in mnkli the Republican ticket, but It Is said that W Wlmbush, one of llie Brigadiers In the bi tie of Wlmbushville, and Bony Williams, tl champion of White Ilall, are lot>king for tl nomination on the'tlcket todeftnt the cle Hon of Mr. W. T. Cowan, of Long C'ane, ai >tr. W. R. McKlnney of XIncty-Slx. So fi the Republicans have been greatly dlsa pointed at the fact that no white opponent the stock law has como out as a candidnt They would vote for anybody to oust tl Democrats. In the make up of the county Republics ticket it is believed that no white Republics - * name, except that of John R. Tolbert will a] pear. The above to the best of our knowledge the status at this writing of the Republics politics. A slight turn go f the kaleidi cope may change the details, but of thcgei eral drift there is no doubt of the correctnei of the above statements. With these tacts b fore us, are our people coinjj to stand Idle Wo cay It, In soberness and in truth, unlei something is done promptly and Judicious!, there Is great danger of a relapse into our fo iner condition of corruption and mlsrui l.ct those who worked in 'TO, work harder 1 SO. If we do notorganize. and hold meet ill] we will probably lose everything next Tue day week. Let us have some good meeting We need some stirring speeches. The sigi of long columns of red shirts, and the live] liurrali for Home llule and Honest Goveri lucnt will do much good. o Wc have received n late copy ot the Allege Journal from which we copy an article in a other column In reference to Southern Brig dlers and Free Speech in the South. Til l>iecc is only a sample brick. The Ropub tains seem disposed toorganlze a party of ha to the Southern people. 1 lie tone of tho At yan Journal would indicate that the people Allegan lack a long ways of being up to tl civilization of the most remote mountain t gion in South Carolina. That paper appears havo no regard for the atateinents which makes, and is notubly the most vulgar at undignified paper that has reached tiiis otti for many a day. It seems from this paper tli nothing scares a Northern Republican much as the mere mention of the name of Southern Brigadier. Its quotations from tl Abbyville Sentinel, the Charleston Xeu-s a> Courier and General Butler are pure fabric 1ion6. The meanest thing being tho munn In which it Inserts its own remarks about tl "Confederate dead lines" with thut paragraj purporting to befrom the JYeus and Courier i such a way us to deceive the ordinary readc " That; paper's reference toSlolbrund, and tl Constitution, wouid also lead some astru; Tho idea of New Jersey or Connecticut sen Jng to New York, for a representative, la ti preposterous to need a refutation. We give place to the article in question, n< that it has any merit*, but to show our peopl what manner of people live In Michigan an support as iudeceut a paper as the AUeyu Journal. _ ?*> ?? Thk Constitutional amendment to tli Jlomo-tead law is .111 important one. Rei.d i nud decide whether UtLail be rutllied yr uo better season in which to Invest money in "preaching" for the poor. The words of praise of the road overseers we think Is deserved. Thel'oads are certainly now in a better condition than they have been since the war. We agree With the grand Jury in their declarations aboiit the tl nances, whatever they .v....- linen mnunt. if thev intended to con vcy the Idea that the citi/.nns of this county t 'are In a prosperous condition, we agree with ' j them in the statement. If they referred to j the condition of the public treasury, we ap! prove I he expression as fully as if they had referred to our citizens. The grand Jury stalo that crime In the county Is on the decrease. We presume that they had uo reference to the crime of sending trifling cases to this Court. When thp grand jury is informed that the Solicitor dismissed of liis own motion six out of twelve indictments that were sent up from trial justices to this Court, we think It likely that they had no reference to the useless expenditure of the public money Mi thus annoyirtg citizcns I' upon mere pretexts. The grand Jury gives some interesting flg ures about the schools, just enough to whet I one's appetite. It would have been exeeedIngly interesting reading if they would have published the names of the School Trustees who paiil out cf the public funds ?40a month for teachers, when thesame teachers, or others Just as good could have been employed for $20 s a month. The liberality of the School Trusi, tees In this respect forced the closing of many . of the public schools In three months, when c I Trustees In other townships, with a prudent care, both for the public funds and the Inter0 jest of the children, were enabled to keep the j. schools open for five months. 1.1 We will not "remark" on the propriety or ;C Impropriety on the part of tliegrund Jury In ,s making an official acknowledgment that I they are Indebted lo the Judge, the Solicitor. IS ! and the Constables for personal courtesies cx)r j tended to them. Judge Mackey we believe 1>< n always polite, and we never heard of Sollclt. ! or Cothran actio i; impolitely toeither a JuryIS man or any one else, Tand we submit that It ^ is tame praise when it Is only said that an able and efficient officers hud becu obsow (pilous to the Jury. t* The Elections in Indiana and Ohio. ^ The elections in Indiana and Ohio last weok *Vere Against u*. The Republicans by spends" inn an immense amount of money, in a ??,s premc efl'ort, won the victory in botli States, w and at present oitr people arc reasonably ' enough, somewhat'east down, and as a cotisequeiK-e, the Republicans In this State arc eor"c renpondingly elevated In their hopes. While ' j these reverses cannot but have their legille* mate e.Teet on both parties, yet we think it is ' only temporary,and there is still hope for enr^ i rylng Indiana In November. We are not dlsts: posed to despair, but think that we should 111 protlt by the lesson taught, us in Indiana, and j the exultation of the Republicans. "Sore ? | heads," "GreenbaekerK," "Independents," >t | and other enemies of the Democratic party in e South Carolina,should stir us to a renewed of,r! fort to secure tho victory in this.Slate at wliatIC j ever cost. In Abbeville County there Is nose{ rlous division among our people, and all wc ?. have to fear is the want of a due sense of the J importance of exerting ourselves to thelitis most, in order that, we may still hold the gov'e crnmcnt against a wily and unscrupulous c- foe. This is a time when every man isexa! pected to do his whole duty, and we are sure e*| that the gallant men who worked so hard in y 170 will not now sit idle, and see the State ,r | wrested from our linnds. The danger is npon 1-1 us, and the question is, will you be true to c"! yourself and your .State ? We know that you will. Let the different elubs organize for activc work at once. The time is short and not an e hour should be'lost. The Republicans are ?; greatly elated at the news from Indiana, and " it is feared that they may take us by surprise. >'1 Heretofore they have been quiet and seemlngd j ly without organization, but within the past J few days they have done much, and we must '* | work or be defeated. 111 The citizens of Abbeville village wc know " | have not forgotten how Magnolia Republican c i club marched Into town In '76. Their insultr*! ing manners, their big sticks, and their gen" ; eral behaviour will never be forgotten by any c who witnessed the sight. We were informed s that tills club is now being organized, and 11 j will no doubt attempt their old tricks. The " ! mere mention of this fact alone will be sufti| cient to set our people on their guard. e ? e ? To the Democracy. le By resolution of the Executive Committee i, 1 there will be a meeting of the Central Club y j at Abbeville Court House on Friday the 29th y j Inst at 10 o'clock a. m. This will be the last 11' meeting of the club before the election. A r. j full representation from the local clubs Is deli ] sired as there will be business of importance n- [ discussed and determined. ie J. S. COTHRAX.

All who want to er! hear something good, chaste ami ornate 0fi should hear the Judge. He In deeply in earLl,: nest In this campaign,and wc hope will Infuse some of his ardor and earnestness into our p, over onfldent pcoplo. Ij[ Tho attention of our voters Is directed to the ltJ fact hat they aro requested to vote on the I1C i Constitutional amendment to the Homct-tead ,)0 i law, which gives all of our citizens the benefit ! of the exemption of certain property from 1(j levy and sale to satisfy execution.

October 15,1RS0.?For the \ last two or three days the court here has been I engaged In the trial of a libel case and notn liltleinterest has been manifested with regard to It, us serious/) uestions touching the 'rights' of school trustees and school patrons were involved In the main question. To present the facts brictty. oneof the defendants In tfiisca.se Mr. \V. W, Knssell was solicited by certain parties, anxious to secure a good teacher for I the Sandy Spring Townshipschool.toendorse the claims and application of Mr. w. T. McElroy lor that position. Mr. Russell declined to I dosoou the groundof the fact that Mr. McEl' rnv's liabtts of lntemnerancc were such as to | unfit him forfuflllingsntlsfactorlly the duties of that responsible position. Mr. Uussell was I however, Induced on the solemn pledgo of Mr. McKloy, the keeping of which pledge Mr. ! McElroy's friends confidently relied upon, that he would abstain from tlio use of aichoj holic stimulant during the scholastic year of I ten months. I The public violation of this pledge by Mr. McKlioy, to which Mr. Itussell had more than once been personally a witness, together with I others, presenting to Mr. Itussell's mind serious cause of dissatisfaction, determined this gentleman, wliohnd three children of his own In the school, to insist on the closing of the school. This demand was however, made privately, the purpose being not to Injure Mr. McElroy, but remove him from a charge which Ills unfortunate weakness in the direction of whisky madehlm Incompetent for. To pass over the several attempts made thus privately jit Is sufficient to state that It became at last necessary to close the school before the j scholastic year had expired. Mr. McElroy with a'ew of his friends declined to let the j matter rest here, and as charges lind finally i become public of "Intemperance, untruthfulI ness, partiality and the making false returns of tlio numder of scholars attending the school," brought the mntter to nn Issue by a suit for Hhel against Mr. Itussel and two otli' ers of the trustees and patrons of the school, | claiming damages to the Amount of ?.>,( <*>.

The Jury, after some hours dellt>eratlon, rendered a vardict for the defendant s. It was a singular point made by Col. Cothran that Mr. McKlroy.ii pledge toabstain from the use of liquor for the scholastic ten months could not be construed to Include Saturdays, Kundavs and other holidays which were clearly at .Mr. McElroy,s own disposal.

It is the interest ol Very part ot this land that that great Western bulk states tbould have the same restraints un<I Inspiration! which havoplviii to us peace nnd prosperity. Tlmt which these empire States need iV, first, beginning at the buttum, a counterpoise to mining, Already the process Is going ou. in ten mining counties In Ca.lfornlo, within tec yiars, the decrease In i population bus been forty-two |kt cent. It might i seein a* though that were an Indication of the State; but it is merely an Indication of the transfer of industry from the mere mining counties to the agricultural counties. Small'farms and small furuu-rs are what is need. 'l'ho old plantation system exists In California in exaggerated degree, so far mugiiitude is concerned. Conceive of one ranchc, owned by two brothers, In whlchjyou may travel all day upon ? fleet horse and not yet have uiade iii'iaauro of one sld.J From tLis glgnutic farm, possessed by two brothers who live lu ; sun Fianclsco, the Income fr? ni wheat is three bun-1 died thousand dollars.

These farms resemble the gigantic men thct existed I before the Flood, that were tnreo hundred years old before thev Were rltie enough to niarrv. that were elgntor nine hundredyears oi?4 when they died, and whose whole life was no mote than ilfty years of the life of any common inun to-il-iy: ?nd thrje'vnst,clumsy farm* must be broken to ploces.

We nre receding from It; and Mrms from fifty to oun hundred and titty no ret are multiplying; and when these Mates are held by men competent to manage so much, but not comtie'cnt lo matmgo im.ro ; when the industry of these States shall have Keen settled and nssun d u|>oii a b.'inlB of wise political economy?then many of the mischiefs tbnt we now deplore, ornl that seem ominous, will pass away. The G 'spel at the top ?- d right Industry at the bottom will save uny State. Not lewer vi'.su oignnizutlons of capital, perhaps, nrc needed; for combined capital is one of lite great tiemoiits of human fr-clety Untaru a bleMlng. It has Its liabilities to danger; and so has everything eles that Is worthy of ex s!eiic?. Danger li in proportion to power, Just as the shadow Is in proportion to the magnitude or the substance. Nvt fewer great rosdsor banking Ir.HLiiittlons, not fewer industrial organizations by which the pluck and power of the many Is put In the bunds of a few, are needful; but a gieater increase of minor ludu-triea ami tumll capitalists is necessary in the West; and this necessity Is being met rapidly.

Now is tho time, before these States have taken a set, to fashion tliem. Now Is the time to give them the Impulse which, one* taken, liku the tide will continue to rife til) it tills every bay and estuary ; nud i: is for us to have a part in this great work. My heart is In It, my faith Is in it my hope Is In it. The love 1 bear for this land is only next to that which 1 hear to my father's ar.d mother's memory, ami to my (iod.

I would that when one and another shall go up from the church millltant to! the church triumphant, aad look down on the Hold of! your earthly labors. you may find that Plymouth j Church has borne Its part In the generous contribution I of men aud women to the came of ChiHt .of treasure , of silver and gold where such treasure wm needed, but much more of workers for morality and religion. To this work Is the (treat function of the American Missionary Society, which, If It he not nobler than, Is next to that other great missionary association In r this land. I have great reason to be attached to this [ society, for I *as a beneficiary of It. I uto my bread it out of its treasury during the'ftrst years of my minis- rii try.
