assisted by J. C. Witherspoon, Esq. For defence, Messrs. J. P. Gage and J. F. Hart. Verdict, not guilty as to Simon Cooper. G uilty as to Charles Campbell, and mercy craved. Sentenced to the penitentiary for life. The grand jury made the following presentment : State of South Carolina, ) York county, October Term, 1880. f j To Tills Hon. Judge Hudson : Sir: The | grand jury* have endeavored to perform the , several duties within their jurisdiction, and herewith respectfully submit a rei>ort' of their , investigations: The books and accounts of the county officers have been carefully and critically examined, and found neatly and properly kept. The county jail is in very good condition, and the prisoners properly cared for. The grand jury find at the county Poor j House 2*2 paupers^?12 white and 10 black. Cleared land in cultivation, acres, 130 "Woodland, 150 Old field and pasture, 100 r Total acres, 470 ^ The live stock consists of 1 horse, 2 mules, 4 cows and 11 hogs. Products of the farm: 7 bales of cotton, 500 bushels corn, 4,000 pounds fodder, 75 bushels potatoes. Aggregate exnense of farm and paupers, ?008.75. t The grand jury find this institution almost self-sustaining, and by judicious management think it can be made not only self-sustaining, but a source of revenue to the county ; and we therefore earnestly recommend the present superintendent, Mr. J. C. Gwin. for reappoint-! ment. and also beg that he be given an additional mule for the coming year?1881. The grand jury of York deem it obligatory on them, in this their final presentment, to fall into line with her sister counties and join the crusade for humanity. Whisky and pistols, the twin enemies of morality aiul prosperity, are too freely "used, and the grand jury earnestly recommend the passage of such laws as will at least lessen the increasing evil. Very respectfully submitted, R. J. Latta, Foreman. KERSHAW ON DUELING. At the recent term of Court at Spartanburg, Judge Kershaw had the followiug to say to the grand jury on the subject of duelling : Public attention has been recently drawn to a consideration of the lavrs against duel ling, and I deem it my duty as a magistrate and conservator of the peace, to lay before . you some views of that subject, the substance ? of which I had the honor to present for the consideration of His Excellency, the Governor, last year in an official communication respecting the statistics of crime, invited by him. There does exist a necessity for further . legislation to secure the enforcement of these laws. In order to be abreast with the progress of the most enlightened nations, it is necessary that this offence against the law, human and divine, shall cease to exist among us. The first^nd highest duty of the State is to protect the lives of her citizens. All other subjects of legislation are of secondary and minor importance to this. lu proportion as a State fulfills this chief duty, she takes rank among enlightened natious. It is with great pride that the people of South Carolina can refer to her statutes and laws as placing her among the foremost in this-respect. On the particular subject of duelling she has not only maintained intact the stern mandates of the common law, which pronounces a fatal duel murder in all concerned, but since 1812, has hy her statutes prohibited every such offeuce by heavy penalties. These statutes were the result of an agitation of the subject begun in 1803 under the lead of that distinguished officer of the Revolutionary army, Major-General Pinckney, earnestly supported by the Honorable Society of the Cincinnati under whose auspices petititious were sent to the Legislature containing the names of thousands of gentlemen, the very "piuk and flower" of tlfe chivalry of the State. Her later laws have manifested a marked advance in the same direction. The constitution of 1868 declares that any person who shall fight a duel, or send or accept a chal Jenge for that purpose, or be an aider or abet tor in fighting a duel, shall be deprived of holding any office of honor or trust iu this State, hud shall be otherwise punished as the law shall prescribe. Laws have been pass ed providing such further and adequate punishment, the penalties of which are amply sufficient to prevent the offence if properly enforced. No matter from what source this constitution and the later laws came, they are characterized in this respect by the highest Christian civilization. That constitution is the supreme law of the land and expressed embodiment of the sovereign will of the people of South Carolina, ami upon which rests her whole system of jurisprudence and her organ- ; ie existence as a State. Every member of j the General Assembly ami every other officer of the State hohls his powers and authority by virtue of this constitution, and is sworn to "support, protect and defend it." The Governor, under it, assumes the sworn duty "to take care that the laws be faithfully exe cuted in mercy." Every citizen owes implicit obedience to this constitution and all the laws of the land. No man or class of men may rightly disregard them. Nevertheless, it is well known that the constitution and laws in this respect have been frequently violated without effort to enforce them against offenders. This is not, in my opinion, because these laws are not approved by the people; on the contrary, I am fully persuaded that a vast majority of them condemn the duel on moral grounds, and earnestly desire to be protected by the State from its pernicious effects. They are fully aware that they prejudice the State | and its people in the estimation of the civilized world; cause them to be misconceived and misrepresented, and tend fatally to obstruct their material prosperity and moral advancement. These offences spring from a sentiment of supposed duty and privilege, which is confined to a very small class of our people, a class, however, possessing great honor and influence. From its rauks chiefly are taken our statesmen, legislators, members of the liberal professions and leaders of society. To this fact is due the quiescence and seeming supineness and indifference of the opposing sentiments. Hence the reluctance of private individuals to undertake prosecutions against the offenders of this class. Hence, also, the failure in these cases of peace officers and others to see i that the laws are faithfully executed, as their duty requires. But this is a government "ot the people, by the people and for the people.' No class, however honorable or influential, should be permitted to set at naught the con% 8titutiou and laws of the State?the organized expression of the will of the people. So far j as concerns past offences of this nature, while courts and juries must perform their full du- \ % ty and vindicate the majesty of the law, of-1 lenders may well plead at the bar of execu- j tive and judicial clemency that they were tempted to the wrong by the criminal blind- > ness of the officers of the law and the silence ; of the voice cf the people. To such a plea ! the ear of mercy would not be wholly deaf. But for the future, gentlemen of the grand jury, it behooves the people to demand of the ; Legislature security for the rigid and ample , enforcement of these laws. If such be your opinion, and you should desire to give, it expression in your presentment, I would, with great deference, suggest a measure which I think will affjrd the protection demanded. Let the Legislature enact as follows : "That in addition to the oath of office now required, each officer before he euters.upon the duties of his office, shall take and sub-; scribe an oath that since the ratification of| this Act he has not done any act which wouljjl disqualify him from holding office under the provision of Article 1,. Section 32, of the Constitution of this State ; and that he will enforce the laws against duelling to the ' best of his ability in every instance of their violation, which may come to his knowledge, and employ all legal measures in his power to prevent such offences." I am satisfied that no further legislation would be necessary if these or similar provisions were enacted. If, however, it is not the will of the peo pie that these laws should be enforced, then they should be expunged from the Constitution and obliterated from the Statute book. And we shall stand before the world as a people having the courage of our convictions, however extraordinary or anomalous. If the duel is to be tolerated at all, it is due to our people that it shall be openly legalized and regulated under the law, and the Code of Honor, so called, spread upon the Statute book. Our people would then no longer be subjected to the demoralizing influences consequent upon habitual deficiencies of the most solemn provisions of the law; a condition of things which tends to bring all law into contempt, and amounts to a confession of weakness wholly unworthy of the people of South Caroliua. *? ' 1 -i -i ? ?A ir tne nuei wore inus MtucuuuL-u uj mc law and this form of homicide legalized, we would at least comprehend the necessity of training our sons from infancy to the skillful use of the pistol, reverse our ethical system and omit from the Lord's prayer so much as "doth teach us of the deeds of mercy." Gentlemen, I make no apology for detaining you so Ion". The subject is one of vital importance t< the State. The victim of the duel is often ' ikeu from the brightest of our jewels, the nci est aid truest of her sons. A people wh.) tolerate such sacrifices will not be held guiltless, either in the just judgment of enlightened nations, or at the bar of the Supreme Ruler of the universe. Charleston Girls in 1733.?A petition was addressed, in "733, to the Governor of South Carolina, by sixteen maidens of Charleston, which ran thus : "The humble petition of all the maids whose names are underwritten : Whereas, we, the humble petitioners, are at present in a very melancholy disposition of mind, considering how all the bachelors are blindly captivated by widows, and our own youthful charms thereby neglected ; iu consequence of this, our request is that your Excellency will, for the future, order that no widow presume to marry any young man until the maids are. provided for; or else to pay each of them a fine for satisfaction for invading our liberties ; and likewise a fine to be levied on all such bachelors as shall be married to widows. The great disadvantage it is to us maids is that the widows, by their forward carriage, do snap up the young men, and have the vanity to think their merit be yond ours, which is a great imposition on us, who ought to have the preference. This is humbly recommended to your Excellency's consideration, and hope you will permit no further insults. And we poor imuas, in duty bound, will ever pray." The forlorn sixteen would have vt y much approved the edict of the Portuguese King, which forhade widows above the age of fifty from re-marrying on the ground that experience taught that widows of that age commonly wedded young men of property, who dissipated the fortunes marriages brought them to the prejudice of chil dreu and other relatives.? Chambers' Journal. \ Cost of Picking Cotton.?Some of the papers have expressed surprise at the estimate made by a correspondent of Bradstreet's, that it costs $40,000,000 to pick the cotton crop; but as that estimate was made on the basis of fifty cents per 100 pounds for picking, and as fully eighty cents is the prevailing rate in Texas, whil; as high as $1.25 has been paid this year, it is probable that 850,000,000 would better represent the cost of picking out the cotton of the United States. Of this amount probably $30,000,000 is paid to colored men. The cost of picking has been higher this year than usual. We see iu an exchange that there were recently received at Columbus, Ga., two bales of cotton which were ginned and packed in 1857. The bagging and rope were in good order. The cotton was sold and brought uiue cents per pound for one and ten cents for the other. (Kummcrtral. YORKVrLLE, November 3.?Cotton 9 to 9.90. CHARLESTON, November 1.?Cotton steady. Middling lOji.

THE NON-EXPLOSIVE OIL CAN. rilflE object of this invention is to keep the J. flame from getting into the can, and thereby prevent the many accidents that occur almost daily by the explosion of the common Coal Oil Cans, now in use. Rufns S. Merrill, of Boston, 1 having recently declared, in an address before the American (jhemical Society, that between 5000 and 0000 people perished in this country last year, victims of kerosine oil accidents. Reasons for using Bennett's Patent Oil Can: 1. It is non-explosive and can be used with absolute safety to pour a stream of oil upon a burning fire, hence cannot explode when filling a burning lamp or used in kindling fires. 2. It is more cleanly than the ordinary can, as mere is no unp iruui tiio spuui, mc mum w v?itv allowing the spout lo be inserted in the lamp hefore the flow of oil is started, and stopped before the spout is removed. 3. It saves time and trouble of unscrewing and screwing on tops, removing and replacing stoppers every time the can is used. 4. It can be carried in a wagon or buggy, and will not spill by jolting. 5. Being self-closing, requires no stopper on the spont. 6. It is the most economical, because it is at all times (when not in the act of pouring) air tight, thereby preventing loss of oil by evaporation and saving the cost of the can the firstyear. 7. It is the cheapest in the end, being made by experienced workmen, of the best Charcoal Tin and best materials throughout. For sale by J. M. ADAMS MILLER & LINDSAY. NEW GOODS JUST RECEIVED.
