The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, 8.C. Wednesday, May 7, 1S84. ? The Conntj Commissioners. The Board hold their regular monthly nmntincr 1*Mt Monrinr. Rpmdes theiilldi t Infc of claims and other routine business, Keveral matters of interoat were attended to. An order wns passed con firm in r the admission of Norn Clark and Ann Heard, both colored, to the l'oor Houso. The community between Ilodpes and Itasor'* bridge, having made certain changes for the bettor in the road connecting those two points, desired to have their action coutiriued bv the County Commissioner*. A petition was nrenenttftd r<ir this purpose and tho Board passed r Hie uufirru wrut-i. i no u uuii; vn/.. wiw of but little expense to the county, and was done in a quiet, pleasant way that contrasted strongly with the costly nnd disagreeable squabbles attendant upon road enterprises in some other sections. and spoko mneh to the credit of the neighborhood concerned. The County Commissioners gladly help those who are willing to help themselves. A petition was presorted for a new read from the Ward road to the Trail road in! the Level Land section. It was ordered that the route of the proposed road bei made more definite and tlint the notice required by law t*e then posted. A petition to <-hange the new road late 1 v* An/in*%r\ fftvtrt Sihirlat^u M fllA Pnliillunfl bridge Ton<i, was tiied and ordered to be advertised till next Salesday. This is the second or third petition which hiVs been ' presented recently with referenee to this umo new road. * It in thought the petitioners have at Ia?t found out whAt th*py j want, and the evil will now be speedily ! remedied. A petition wa? presented asking for a! bridge across Saluda River between the, old Necly Ferry and Boyd's Mill. As the; J>aurens County Commissioners have a voice in this "matter, immediate action could not be taken, and the petition went over till next meeting. A petition ior a bridge over Parks': | creek near Due West was presented and I referred to Commissioner Mattison, who ^ A will report at next meeting. W_ Objection to the proposed road from r Martin's to Due West was filed and will j h? Hull* Complaint was msirio from various sec-' tions that persons are ploughing across their old fence rows and into the road. In one instance the transgressor is a road j overseer. It Is the business of the over-1 seers to prevent such obstructions and to , keep tho road clear for a width of twenty I feef, and it is tho duty of the township superintendents to see that the overseers: attend to this matter. It is becoming a crying evil And the Commissioners are determined to hftve it checked even if, thev have to resort to criminal prosecutions for obstructing the highway. The Colt Show. According to previous announcement iquitea number of our citizens brought; their fine colts and horses to the village ; last Saledav. The colts were exhibited) on the public square, and the horse* were! stabled in the horse lots where they were! shown. The universal verdict of by-! fttsnders is, that a larger show of fine' horses was never seen in Abbeville. Our people tiiink the indications are that our farmers are turning their attention more to this most profitable bram-h *>f their business than ever before. We firesume that the tact mat Messrs. waiingford ? Russell intend to bring a drove of brood mares to their stable next Fall is in answer to a public demand for such stock which has not heretofore existed in AbbeTille county. * , For some reason, nnaccountable to us, there were no mule colts or jacks in the exhibitions last Saleday. When our farmeis conclude to raise their own mules and save the great drain upon their resources for foreign raised I stock, their prosperity is assured. Lot' every fanner in Abbeville county raise 0 at least one mule colt. For Citric. That there might be no misunderstand- , Ing about the matter, so far as Major Zeigler is concerned, we interviewed: < him vesterday on the clerkship. He i? a | candidate for re-election to the office of the Clerk of C<?urt, and bis past record < and his |>opularity with the people whom he serve with such fidelity and punctuality will ensure him a hearty support from the voters in every part of the county. His many excellent qualities as a man, and his neat and correct manner of keeping the office is the best evidence that an appreciative public will relain this cxcellect officer at the post which h* has held with so much satisfaC tion to the people. Suicide. Happy Mr-Smith of Charlotte, N. t\, committed suicide one day last week by putt in H a pistol to his ear, and disclaiming the contents into his brain. He went netting position in an organ box. drew to a warehouse, and placed himself in a the cover over him, and committed the fatal act. The deceased was highly respected in Greenville, S. C. and Charlotte, N. C., where he was well known. He leaves a wife, whom we believe was nnce a resident of this town, Miss Kingsmore. 4^ ? Abbeville Literarr Club. The Club met at the home of Col.

He was soon caught j and very severely punished by whipping. About four o'clock thismornlncl the party of gentlemen who were in i search for him returned without having' seen him. Captaix W. A. Moork of Cokeshury f* is announced as a candidate for the Legislature. He is a practical* farmer, and will no doubt look to his brethren of the {ilow for a hearty support. He is a prac- j leal and successful farmer in the management of his own affairs, and thevo facts tare generally accepted as the best eveldence that the individual will make a faithful and trustworthy public ser- j Vant. Ellis O. Graydon, Esq., Is announced as? candidate for the Legisla(a a Uwap of fine ohilitv with a practical knowledge of his profeasion. The public will no doubt have an opportunity to bear him ipemk before the end of the campaign. Capt. R. C.

Some week s since we had occasion to refer to tne amount of tronble and Inconvenience occasioned by the almost nnavoidable mistakes made by the County Treasurer during the period when the bnlk of the tnxe? are collected In this State, ami advanced the Idea that If the Treasurers were empowered to rtctl/y their mistakes, In cases where executions were unjustly Issued, we would hear iimb mmniiint No one will believe that a treasurer can psu through s *<*?*on of tnx do I lectins and be able to escape wjthout some ml (takes ; at Ihewme time he fhould be in a position to correct them when called upon and substantial proof of their existence furnished him. On the representation or property valuation the law should require no more Of the treasurer than what his book* call for from the people of the oounty, and |f there Is more in his hands than he can account for, t resulting from collections, he should be em* r powered to hold It until after executions havi been issued, and be placed in a position to know exactly from whom be has obtained this surplus, then when a party holding; a receipt and against whom an execution, has been Issued, comes up and shows that receipt, the treasurer could oorrect his mistake by crediting the books without having to exact - from the party the amount ot his taxes the second time, and causing him to take a troublesome route to recover hla money. These mistakes, or errors as they are commonly \ ' 'l, * ) f termed, ar? qulto frequent. and cause trouble thut Ik nolslwu.vN understood. So If the manner of reimbursing wua changed or simplified no as to place the power of correcting In the *1 hands or treasurer*, we are quite sure thut it j would work more satisfactorily all over the , State. LETTER FROM 8ENAT0R HAMPTON. L' CO j He Define* Ills Powitlon, While .Hull* | lngr nn Able Armament on Hit* Side ^ of the KdneatioiiKl <luesliou. dr ( I. Editor of the Press nnrt Manner: I j" I Mr Dear Sir?While I feel perfectly a?sur-! jet) that you would not Intentionally do menn |!\ injustice, I think that the Ibllowinc extract,.,, I ffom your paper places me In it false position,, ^ , and I appeal to.vonr courtesy to allow me to LA ' aIiiiw wherein you are mistaken. You say I w that ' this people arc koIhk to tie freed from I it. ' the most damnable burden which was ever | ,, " Inflicted on any people which claimed to hp] ? I 'free. We do not blame Hampton for sad' dling this Insntt'erable burden upon us. We js..1 [ "and this people are ready to excuse him for "it. He did, as we believe, what he thought! ?| | " at the time, was best for us, but Hampton ! :V I "can ne**er auain have the following which I " he once had, IT he at this late day, and with tt> J the experience of so many years beiore us, ' j "attempts in Washington to rivet these gall| "ln< chains upon a people who have loved | ' htm so well, who have trusted him with such ' ? I *' Implicit confidence." , ? i Now, I confess that I am at a loss to know _ i what "tcalline chain*" I have been attempt- .... lug "to rivet upon" the peoptfc whom I have , ; lov<d so well, and who have treated me with {" such "Implicit confidence," and I am equally J. in the dark a? to the character of the "insuf forcible burden" I nave sauiiieu upon m.u people. I suppose thai you allude to the eon- ,, Htltntionnl amendment levying a tax of two | " mills for educational purposes. adopted by j tiie people in 1S76. If this supposition In right, j' ,' how can I ?>c held more accountable for the L? a'lopiion of that amendment than any other ',} eitizen who voted for It? If iny recollection ,! nerves nie right, there was an almost uuanlmou* vote g ven I lien M favor of this am^niment, and without knowing the fact. I think IP It highly probable that you voted for It your- j' . nelf. My agency then In tfaddling thin Itisuf- J,. lemhle burden upon the peonlft consisted only ? In voting with tnn vast majority of that neo- , pie for the adoption of the amendment of the J,' fionstlttutloii you now denounce in such ' iHr<h terms. That I voted for Itlacknowl edge freely. I thought it wise, politic, proper ~~~ and humwic. Ilmvescon no tit use to make , me regret the vote I then pave, and I should now deplore a by action looking to n repeal of this constittatttinal amendment. IP.', In the great canvass of ISTtj. when ourpeo- . 1 pie rescued the State from ruin, I pledged my- J", self to to do all In my power to place t lie j , means of education freely within the reach 010 of every child In the State. I was then but a.rc the exponent of the declared purpose ol the ,5 parly which had done me the hondr to chose "ir me ns their leader. I stand now where I KCr did then, lor I believe firmly that we shall never have wide-spread and enduring pros- ,.a perlty in ourStite until the dark cloud of llilt- i,p eracy which casts Its baneful shadow over n'? our land Is dispelled by the diffusion of edu-j''."' cation among all elapses of our people. Such , Is my flrin conviction, and feeling this. I shall, I a* long as I am honored with a public trust Ico* by the people of South Carollun/'ad voeate I sov warmly every measure that promises togivel.wa the blessings Of knowledge to all parties and jiO?all races <>n our soil. In this view, I think r* thai I am sustained by the best elements In Pa!' our suite; but If I am mistaken I am willing at any moment to give place to ony one whoiO, will represent more truly thesentlmentof our people. Under no possible circumstances,!^" could I for one moment consent to mlsrepre-1 sent a people who have Indeed ' trusted me Poi with such implicit confidence," a confidence ',>a which It has been my highest ambition to "" deserve. CXf One other charge?or rather Intimation? R''" which jou make ngnilist me is that. I am at- Tlx tempting to "rivet galling chains" upon onr nie people, but yon uo not say how I am making wa' tills attempt. I suppose, however that you nnc have reference to my support of the Rdnca- *llr] tlonal Bill which has Just passed the Senate. lM' If such is the case. you surely couUI not have llc' rend that Hill, for there is nothing In It that c,}n fti-Atfl ohtiinc tin/in miv Mhifp or I any people. Nu Stole need accept one dollar we under Its provisions unless It chooses to dO|OUJ so. una no State accepting it* benefits Is to' pini-ed In any wise under Ketlerul supervision. What danger then am attend the Bill? It M miiy be said that there Is one objectionable feature In this Hill?the one requiring a cer <<r titlcate from the Governor of ? Slate ns to the distribution of the funds proposal?and I Edi ngree to this proportion. But Ifyou will look It at the Record you ?vlll see that I voted against artl its adopt Ion, and In voting on the final pus- tak sage or the Bill, I concurred In what Senator i "-VX Ransom had said In trlving his vote. I tha J make not the slightest reflection on those i Rot *ho opposed tills measure; they doubtless stri acted conscientiously, but I confess that I can- | Idc: not see the force of the constitutional objec- one tlons ihcy urged against it. At. all events, sur wh?n a l irce majority ot State Kl'-rlits I>em<>- ed ' cruls. muoug whom were such distinguished of I constitutional lawyers ns Garland. I .a mar, wit Pitch, Khiiboui, Brow n.
