Tho Report of tho County Com missioners' Thia report has been published and has nc doubt attracted the attention of our readers, from the fact thal tho amount of money ex pended during the last fisoal yenr is larger (han ever before; and this, too, without nny special circumstance (ogive thc expenditure importance. Thero is no doubt of tho fact, liowovcr. ifrat thc expenses of thc county, Stato and Genend Go vernment aro increasing from year to yea?, and it ls equally clear thal thero is no special reason or excuse for theso lavish expenditures from time to limo, both al homo and abroad. Wo hayo examined this report with moro than usual caro to seo whether or nol somo reduction in theso heavy expenses may be mado in the futuro. To enable us to make this investigation, in which all tho citizens of tho county are deeply interested, Mr. Veiner, tho Clerk of"*(ho Board, has furnished us with a statement of tho amounts expended and what for, as nearly as possible, as follows: Bridges . . $2,730 27 Poor 1101 iso . . 710 95 Sheriff, dieting prisoners, &o 1.2DG 17 Courl expenses . . 1,0-11 59 Trial Justices . . 3(58 79 Constables . . . 4-15 65 Lunatics . . . 518 50 Pay of Commissioners and Clerk 053 10 Miscellaneous expenses, includ ing assessment of properly, printing, ko. . 022 83 Croud total . $8,127 15 Thc Commissioners have thc following amounts with which to pay these expenses, viz: Bcccivcd from taxes . $5,401 00 Kcccived from fines, licences, &c.1,901 17 Grand (olal . $7,302 17 Which shows a deficiency for the last fiscal year of $1,001 08. This deficiency would have beon much larger had it nol been for the unu sually largo amount received for fines, &o. These fines cannot reasonably bc expected to bc so lurgo in thc future; hene?, if our expenses continuo to- bo largo thu deficiency must1 bc raised by taxation. Wo propose to take Up for consideration thc various iifcms of expenditure and will commence Tilth Ihal of bridges. This amount, $2,730.27, rs larger this year than usual. A larger num ber of bridges have been rc built than ever be fore in ono year, with the usual amounl of re pairing. Was this large expenditure necessary? Thc people of thc county know mid we leave il for them to say. Wc havo no means of ascer taining for ourselves. Thc only suggestion wc have to make ls, thal when a bridge is ro built il should be done in a permanent manner. This will in thc course of time make our annual ex penses less for Ibis item. Probably a number of bridges over small streams might also be dispensed with entirely. Thocosbof the poor farm and paupers lins been $719.95. Not a large sum certainly. For these purposes tho co9l hus averaged yearly about $1,000. Can they bc lessened? We bolicvo that a larger and more valuable poor farm could bc made almost stlf sustaining. If ?his could bc done il would bc economy to sell the present form and buy a larger and belter one. The payment ou( of $1,000 on an average annually with interest would amount in ten years lo $13,814. This amount with thal wliioh (ho present farm would bring if sold would buy a place which oould bc made self sustaining at least. Tho fees of thc Sherill* ore incidental and accrue almost entirely from dieting prisoners in jail. If we had no prisoners we should not bo troubled with an item ns largo as (his. As long as human nature remains ns il is wo know of no remedy for this expenditure. Court expenses arc like jail fees, incidental, and are governed in amount by tho kind and number of criminals to bc tried. Probably if wo had only two terms of Ibo court a year this amount might bc lessened. Thc maller is worth investigation al least. The cosls of Trial Justices and Constables amount to $814.34. This amount is considera ble, but wc cannot say it is loo largo for (he services rendered. Wo prefer thc law as it exists in Anderson (o ours. Tho Trial Justices at the court house (hero receive $50 each in lieu of all charges against thc county, with $25 to ono Trial Juslico in each of thc other Townships. This would make ourexpensos for Trial Justices $275, a saving (his year of $93.79. In crimi nal oases (ho jurisdiction of Trial Justices should bo confined lo (heir Township. This courso would enable each officer lo consider and net on only such cases OS" ought lo bo tried. Cases aro sometimes brought into court (Imf ought not to bc considered al all. Where (he oases oro carried from one Township to another it largely increases Ibo costs of constables. Thc people might petition tho Legislature at (his session lo grant salaries lo Trial Justices instead of paying them cosls. This courso, if successful, would save tho county a few hun dred dollars. The cost of lunatics is $648.50. This is largo, but may nol occur? again in a number of years. Tho costs in these proceedings (pauper lunaoy) ls loo largo. Tho salaries of tho commissioners and thoir ole-k is $053.10 and was itemized in .he report. Tho sum of $0:22 83 is for miscel laneous expenses and includes assessment of of property, printing, stationery, &c. Wo hnto thus colled attention in n hurried wanner to the most prominent and largest expenditures in Ibo report of (he County Commissioners. Hegicts aro unavailing. Theiyture alone baa a practical sido for us. Qan tbeso largo annual county ciponses bo on flailed and materially losscncd? This is ihe praotical question. A new Boord of County Commissioners aro about to bo inducted into office. To thora nod tho grand jury we paust look, for oots and recommendations which., if porsovered in and' wried out, will lighten tho burdons of (ho tax-payer ?nd redound to ibo prospority of tj,o people. Stand to Your Colors. Th? Exeoutivo Committee of tho Demooratlo Party of 8oulh Carolina, at the cluse of the campaign, addresses words of good cheer and admonillob to the party throughout tho State. I A great success ns usual has been gained. Tho government of tho State is In Bato hands for the next two years and all the Democratic can didates for Congress hate been elected by band e?me majorities. This lias not only been ac complished, bul tho party is assured of success for the future if Us members will stand to its colors. Tho conin.itleo very properly Insist Ihot Ibo Democratic Clubs-tho rank and file of Ibo party - shall not disband, but stand roady at the call of duty for any emergency in the future. Thc committee looks with apprehension to tho npnthy apparent amongst tho white people. Many did not register and many that did regis ter did not volo. Duly requires all to oboy tho law and it ought lo bo the pleasure of every ono to assist in his huniblo way in the pro? ser vat i on of good no ver nineo t "10 Slalo and also in Hie country al large. Mistakes aro mado in all parties. These mistakes can and will bo corrected. Obviously, however, it is best to weld tho peoplo to thc D?mocratie party by efforts on ull occasions to make wiso and just laws. Reduce tho (axes as much as possible and distribute tho burdens of the government amongst (ho many instead of thc few. Tho laws should bc few and simple and easily understood. Wo neither want nor need much legislation. That peoplo aro best o IV who aro governed least. Thc committee well say (hat in view of (ho contest for 1881 every Democrat should stand to his arms and bc ready at the call of duty nml honor lo carry his ling triumphantly into Ibo capital of Ibo country and install a Democrat for President, (he first since (ho election of .Mr. Uuchanan in 1856.

Tho fanners of this section aro gradually realizing tho necessity and economy of diversi fied farming. This year supplies of various kinds havo been raised in sufficient quantities to feed both roan and boas1, so ihut next year vory fow. if any, need have their eiibs or smoke houses in tho West.

Mr. Brasbear, writing to tho Pittsburg Chronicle on Thursday lust, thus describes thc great spot which has lately mad" tts r.p pcarancc on the sun: "I bad noticed," bc says, "thc st ot coming on thc nun's edgo on Monday, lind concluded that it would attain cnoiinous proportion*, In thc telescope it was an object of singular beauty.

J?vcry ono of them was moro of less curved the samo way, showing clearly thc direction of ibo cyclone I storm.

Ho Was elcoted to the Legislature in 1820, serving oue term, and to Congress in 1820, where be served two terms. In 1S35 his raro scholarship und his intellectual culture was fully recognized by his election to tho Pres idency of tho South Carolina Collcgc> in which position ho continued with grout acceptability until 1841, when ho retired and engaged in planting in Rcaufort until 1800, when a vacancy iu tho United States Senate having occurred by tho death of Mr. Eltnoro, tho successor of Mr. John C.

WASHINGTON, Novethber 24.-Until v i t hi ti a few days Coi'iinUsic'ner Raum was lisposed to make nb recommendation in his orthcoming ntibttul report looking to n eduction in internal revenue tuxes, lt is lelieVed, however, that he has reconsidered he limiter and will ad visa such u reduction is will have un aggregate income of tho 3overnmcot fi om this source of 8100,000, 100 per annum. lt is known that thc .'resident, while he is Grmly opposed to my proposition looking to tho abolition ut his time of tho entile internal revenue ystem, believes thc time has come when ?bst,mi ia! relief can safely be accorded thc uxpayera of thc country, and that a por ' ion of this relief should come in tho rc tuition of internal revenue taxation. With his view members of thc Cabinet aro in mire accord, und thc President in his forth aiming messages to Congress will r coo tn nend Iho abolition of internal revenue axes, except those on tobacco in its Furious forms, and upou distilled spirits ! i md fermented liquors, exoept also tho i pecial tax upou manufacturers of and , ' Ictlcrs in such r.rticlos, with a reduction in I I ho tux upon whiskey and tobacco upon he basis of tho bill which passed thc House i if Representatives at tho last session of Congress. The rctontation of tho special axes is deemed essential to tilford thu iffiocrs of the Government proper supcrvis ( ons of these articles for tho prevention of 1 raud. If this recommendation bo adopted 1 he rcmninihg sources of internal revenue ?ill yield, according to tho estimates of tho ! lommissioner of internal revenue, about >100.000,000 per annum. Any further 1 eduction of internal revenue than that . J imposed would compel thc government lo cly almost entirely oti import duiies for ts necessary income and would render any cvision or reduction of tariff duties danger ms, if not impossible Tho President is irmly opposed to tho adoption nf any policy hat would create such a contingency and viii in his forthcoming message urge upon Congress tho importance of un imm?diate cvision of tho tariff, with the view of educing the aggregate income of thc Gov ernment lo such un amount as is absolutely equired to meet thc interest on tho public lebt and the current and ordinary expon ics of the Governtncot.
