Grand Jury Presentment.
The Grand Jury for Greenville l>istr!ct, 11
whose presentment is published in the 'y
Patriot and Mountaineer, called the at- w'
tuition of the Court to the fact that many 5 i
men, both married and single, sustain il tli
- ? ' -
nun, connection wiin members ot the other
sex, anil being informed " that there
are no laws in this State that will reach
such cases," (though we think they have
been misinformed,) they earnestly recommend
that legislative attention should be C!
given to this subject. They further re- t0
commend as an additional modification, 'ol
to the greater elliciency of the Frie 'l>
School system, that every male between lei
the ages of *21 and 60 years, shall pay a an
Free School tax not exceeding fifty cents, de
for the education of poor children, and ?h,
that dollars be withdrawn from the
appropriation to the South Corolina Co!- ltl(

Fancy Court House, lately constructed at J
such considerable cost, is already out of

The Fair.
The Agricultural Fair, at Columbia ,irt
was still an object of exceeding interest on hu
Thursday, an J the grounds were throng- I
ed, and committees were busy in tbeir mi
various'duties. From a notice in the Car- ! ?n
olina Times, we learn, that the auction Ky
sales of stock were to have taken place u
yesterday morning at ten o'clock; premiums
were to have been awarded, and
at four the Fair was to have boon closed.
!t is mentioned that every thing went off in<
j the utmost harmony, but that a huge
Amount of counterfeit quarters wero in a
circulation, which wore so neatly executed Mi
as almost to defy detection. We sent oft tin
a precious set of scamps a few days ago,
and it is not improbable they have taken

THE SLAVE TRADE.
proposition for reopening the Slave trade,
s of late been lengthily and ably discussby
the Charleston Standard. A year or 1
0 ago the subject was introduced by tliut
urnal, ami the proposition looked upon by
1 thinking world as a novelty?a thinb too
lacious to engage serious attention. Reltly
again, the Standard renews the subt
; its leading topic has been an effort to
press upon the minds of the Southern !
jple, tlio policy and propriety of reopen* 1
r the African Slave trade, as a means of i
iducing to our interest and prosperity.? <
a points <iro lucidly set folb?evincing I
sat reasoning tact, and they are beginning i
excite no inconsiderable share of public '
en t ion. :
His lending propositions are, first, that '
an men nse ot population it will tend to j '
itorc that equilibrium between the Noith | '
d South, the necessity tor which, was so I
ly pourtrnyed by the lamented Calhoun ;
it by increasing our population we secure
equality in the House of ilcprcsantntives;
it by tho same means we are enabled to
in new States, and thereby secure an
iiulity in the Senate ; that at present we
re not, really, tho material wherewith to
in new State* ; that the labor directed to
> frontiers is a deprivation to the ceutre,
ii that ten fold the amount of labor that
now applied to the various sections nprtnining
to the Saulh, might he uiade reinernlivo
by a proper system of culture
i management That without resorting
the slave trade, a dissolution of the Union
novituble, as we cannot successfully rel
tho increasing encroachments of tho
rlh without an equality in States and
pulation, that will give us equal power in
Halls of our Federal Legislature. AdI
to this, is the great moral and aoeial ad.
