Miles, Esq., was ipointed Counsel for the Orand to assist tbem in examining no County af'airs. At the present erm of Pourt he was presented by ,he GraudJury, for becoming the paid attorney of the County Com. niisIoners while actiig as County Jounsol. Mr. 1iles insisted on iaving a rule served upon him. Jpon the return of the rule he made complete vindication of his con luot, showing that he was really act ng as attorney for the County in iettain suits brought against it, and iot for the commissioners individu illy. le also presented an exhaus ,ive report that he had prepared for he grand jury, but which that body lid not accept. This report furnish. )s undoubted evidenceo of "systena io fraud" on the part of Bowen, the 3heriff, and other parties. Judge Reid completely exonerated Mr. iies, and in addition thanked him ror the services he had rendered the Dounty. Almost all tho offici0s of 3harleston will be presented for nalfoasanoo or misfeasance in office, and several of them will doubtless omie to grief. We give a synopsis of Col.Aikens ad - Irece on the Granges. This synopsis is mperfect, as indisposition prevented as from taking full notes. Col. Aiken gives good advice to the patrons and shows conclusively Lt, bonofits resulting from the order. It is the case that where the gronges are fourishing, farming is improving. 'hie difficulty is that people do not take hold of the matter properly. We have soon farmers collooted on the street ouroors earnestly d isousi ing the crops, and yet, on entering the Grange they have nothing to say. If they wovnil n'y 'iCsi agt icultu ral matters in the ( rango instead of outside, all the members would be benefited, and the meeting, be full of interest. But whore nothing isdone save the transaction of routino business the Grange cannot prosper. We regret extremely that Col. Aiken apparently in his address counseled farmers to run off cotton apen. which they may have given liens. Col. Aiken cannot mean this, for suoh advice would tend to violate the rules of common horesty and would certainly cause the farmers to enidure the penalty o'f the law. It is therefore unfortunate that he ut tered any remarks that might ho con strued into meaning this, for it would furnishes a damning argument against the Grange. As a friend of the order and in its behalf we ropudiato any such sentiments. The rest of the address was very etertaining and was well recoived. We trust that new life and vigor may he infued into the Granges of this County. Ridgeway Grange is flourishing, but tho other county Granges are doing nothing. The question aisos w'het.her the farmers will suffer to elude their grasp the best opportunity ever offered to thema for improvement, socially intellee tually and pecuniarily. It will be remembered that a few days since two negroes made affidavit in Greenville County that they wvere present at the murder 'of Dr. Shioll of JLaurons in 1868, and that the murder'was instigated by Joe Crows and hiu bon Adam.. A dam Crews was arrested in Columnbia on this charge and committed to jail. Hie w~as brought up on habens corpus before Judge Mackey who was in Columbia en Monday. ia counsel moved for a release on the ground of irregular arrest, and that the war rant was endorsed for murder on the outside and merely charged homi cide in the body of the warrant. Judge Mackey hold t4io objections to be good, and deciding thast thero was not suflicierft prod%f of the ehargbs preferred against Crows, roleaseod him on his own rooognira%e 'for I$800, to appear at-theo Court ib Lau rear. Crews is now at largo. We are not snflioiently acquainted with the faots to express a decided pinion. Bunt the bail seems totally neommensurato with the grave offence aharged.

It seemi to.be impossible to -bring. tinfaential criminals to justice. But we roserv4 comment until #e&e fihdr inforW, ed as to this matter. The' Oentehuulap. The recent Centonnial celebrations seem to have inaugurated an era of good fooling betwoon the North and the South. In the historic soones of revolutionary events, the tw4 sections can meet with a coMmoM fooling and united sentiment. They remember on'y those days in which thoirforofathers stood side by ide with truly fraternal good. Sooi after the inauguration of the Union, the two sootions began to differ i6 politics, and these differenoos finally oulminatod in the lAuto civil war Revolutionary gjound is therefore about %.he only ground upon whio, they can stand in unity. It is po, culiarly fortunate that these Onten. nial celebrations have comne at thiF time. Fully a decade was roquired after the civil war for sectional pass. ions to cool down. Had the con. tonnials come sooner they would have been failures. But everybody is weary of the old war spirit and is willing to accept some other political Issue. It Is therefore just the timne for fraternal interiingling, This is proven by the kindly spirh displayed at Lexington, Charlotte and Bunker Hill. The South can at lest begin tc fool that she has something in com. mon with the Union, somethiig tc hope for in the future. It is .there. fore very desiroble that the Soutli be represented fully at the lPhiladel phia Centonniol. This will be 'a world't Fair, and the world .will visii it. There can be no better adver tisement than a full repre,,entation iii this oxhibition. We wish the ad. vantages of Sou'h Carolin especially to be made known-her fino soil and climate and the character of hei people. In this way immigration may be induced to come within ou: borders. As Set South Carolina has taken no steps to secure representation, aud there is not much mure than a yeai left. An organized effort should be made at once to put South Carolins on an equal footing with all hei sister States. Who will take the initiative ? Address of Ool. D. Wyatt Aiken. Col. D. Wyatt Aiken delivered a very interosting public address con. eorning tile Crange, to the citizens of Fairfield on Satnrday last. The address was delivered in tihe Thies. pian fall. Capt. James Pagan, Master of Rlidgeway Grange, was called to the chair. After some fine musiri by thle Cornet band, Col. Aikon was introduced and spoke at hoeur. We present a synopsis of hie address. The speaker becgan by deli ning grange to be a farm, and its obijeci tile association together of farmers. All farmers who had practicully tested the proper working of GIrange: were pleased with them. While it seone parts of Fairfield the Grange was accomplishing great good, h< regretted1 to see thlat it Was not flour. ishing in Wirnnsboro. Ile lielievei this to be tile fault of thle member: themselves, not of tile grange.

The dwelling houses "are all 10 in 'fine repair, and the farmers hare h Bbs horsis and carriages, and ei6ry. ij ,hing, prospers. i 'hi* is all ' " result of association 'of ideas .and a co.operation of labor. They raise P th6ir oWn provisions, and I st year b sold oats to the people of Fair *old n for $1.25 to $1.50 per bushel, and 01 there are now in Abbeville County 01 thousands of bushels of oats for sale. V Marlborv is twenty miles from a rpilroad. Yet there have congregat. 0' ed 1500 patrons at one Grange pie. u nio, every patron having his ot horse and every horso fat. These 4 farmers never succeeded till they 00 ,rqanls,d Granges. y rhe Speaker then denounced the - lien s'yetom. lie Illustrated the evil P effects cf liens'upon both the mer- r1 ohant and the farmer. The enor. mous per contage will ruin any men, and he who is compolled to give one 0 of those liens has gotten so low. down b that he might as well run his cotton P off woen gathered. o 'In one county the recording ot P liens gave in one year an income of 0 $6,500 to the Clerk of the Court. cc In Abbeville therevenue this year it is $3500, and in many other coun- s1 Lies it is also very great. The 01 Speaker's Grange allows none of its ti members to give a lien, and' from fi this the greatest benefit ensueu. h He then dealt the farmors some m raps about not reading. . Advised tt them to subscribe to agricultural cc works which are as useful to them as b the law book is to the lawyer, or tt the medical work to the physician. I The old prejudice against "book W farmers" must ibe exploded. Agri- it culture in the South is fifty years al behind hand. The delegates from w the Northern Granes jwho came to w Charleston this spring, stopped the 0 train between Charlotte and Colum. e bia to examine a plough, and express. b ed themselves as convinced that the Of South would always remain poor until 01 the agricultural implements used tC here be improved. Apy bald red spot of land may be taken and broken up with a two horse plow and left to fallow a year and then seven hundred pounds of rt cotton can be made to the acre on it. But old fabigned farmers will say W "you tre killing your land." It h as only boon adopted because some one P listened to a "fool theorist" and ex periwented. ti The Grange elevates socially. m But in order that this end may be re attained, it is necessary to have ladies in the Grange. The Spe,ikor then eulogized the likoies and eclar. ed that no grange wAs prosperous in B -which there were none of the fair -ex to make the.men behave. The speaker then dwelt upon the t< pecuniary benentse of the Grange, and 0 showed that by cc operation and h wholesale purch ases, gre -t suvings W can be effected. In regard to the objections raised iy that this would injure the merchants ri be denied it, hut would only say that e whore the public good conflicts withs e the' interests of two or three men, b thero men mnu.t be sacrificed. 'Tho speaker then explained the secrecy of the (Grange. it possessed no screts other than those porsessed by other organizations. As the mer. ti chants have their boards of orn- d merce, the mechanics their trade b unions, the professional men their as. o sociations which no outsiders can join, ni just po the farmers have their own organzition to protect their interests, it le then touched upon the moral d and politieal influence exerted by the i. Grange. It ignored religions and creeds, mnaking.no distinctions on ac- e count 'of themn. But it inculeatedp chtarity an'd the Christian virtues and ti thus exeroised a power for good. So 0 also it'ziukes no distinction because of politics. 'But it teaches honesty and inadepubide'noe, a1hd 'in this way ti execises political power. Groat 0 revolutions -in .politics have been ii lately effected by the .patrons "not e as a body, but as 'a mass.' 'Poland, I, of Vermont et*hibited In -Congress a a want of of mianliness and 'independ. ti enee, and although bre had been re markably .popular, he was 'defeated k for re-elootion. Ho told the Miaster of the State Grange, "Vou d-d pa. *E trons of husbandtay caused nmy defeat. The-speakor then urged upon his hearers to take 4ntereat in-the'Grange and then~, dismissing the general, A audience, delivered a lediture to the 8 'Patronts on the working. of the order. ft M~~""hui Without lands.
