Xantastct Xfrtijrv. i D.J. CARTER, KIMtor TilI'lSSUAY, FEHKUAKY 2l>. iTrjy* The Grand Jury have recommended the expenditure of a large sum *?wfnnmiey for repairing pobMe buildings, beautifying public grounds," furnishing public oBtees, Ac. Which is all very usee to talk about. The publie-buildings, it is true, aro not in lite lest condition. If the county had the means, \re .would be to. sg'U.tji.c . recommendations carried out. But un til some, at least, of the present indebtedness of the county is paid oft*? and a large number of poor men, who have given their time and muscle to the ' county?are made comj'urtuOU: by receiving tlniir just dues, will we oppose extravagance In the shape of new chairs, tables, carpets, Jcc. (W Zboll of the South Carolina Dead. The Survivor's Association of South Civrolina propose to publish a 1:01,1, of those who died or were killed in the late war between tho States?the said roll to be published in two editions.. The first will be published immediately, and will eon tain about 12,000 names.

Wll'll Wrt r.11 tl.i-1 r?f ll.r. know of tlio true statu}? of the French ami Prussian armies, Is necessarily limited. Military journalistic critics would have 4,s believe one week that the end wits near, pud Lhw following week just the reverse. Putin Furope, whore-, it is reasonable to suppose, that the journajii-t is as well informed as in America, it is tliecommon opinion that the end of the war is yet far oil*. The The London Doll}/ .Yrit1*, writing of Christmas, says: "Wo lioja? that history may not have to say of yesterday that it was on/>/ (he first Christinas which the (human armies of King William spent in France." The London JJcho says: "Vainly men and women watch for a glimpse of the returning warriors; the troops tiling by are more landwehr men, on their route to insatiable France, und (he ?*<<{ of the war see mi far away," And the Cteri*i,m /Miyoix /iro no li nn ex/'llett. The i Ilerltn \a(ionctl Xcifunrj says that It knew from the first, that "a war between (icrmnny and France would he no short or easy matter." * * * * Germany will persist in the struggle until she has gained u better frontier against Franco." The Vienna IP??ih.rer says: It is ollleially admitted to he possible that the struggle may not end with the fall of Paris; that It is only then that the frork In the provInnno ttvil! Imivin ? ?% no armies are being formed in the North, Bouth and West; and when these are dispersed, what then?" The Vienna W<r ue Frcin I'sens declares that "in the present position of atrairs it *is char Unit the war may yet hint an indefinite time, and require enormous sacrifices, without the contending parties being in a condition to enter into negotiations for the conclusion of peace." Report of the O-rand Jury. We make the following extracts from the Report of the Grand Jury, submitto J at the recent Term of the Court fbr Lancaster County: " Respect fully report, that we have examined the public buddings, of the County, and find that the Court House and Court-yard are badly kept, and are pow in a very bad condition; that there is 110 fence or pollings around tho yard, and nothing to prevent hogs, goats and cattle from entering the basement of the Court House audUellling tfie same. The passage running through the basement may be said to be tiltliy.
