???&. ? ? f? Wed nes lay Morning. October 7,1874 To the Grand Jury. We printed, yesterday morning, in a report of the proceedings of Court, the obarge of Judge Carpenter to the graud jury, direotiug tbeir attention lo allegations of bribery and corrup? tion, contained in tbo Union-Heralu newspaper, of tbo 21 inat., against J. A. Bowley, member of tbo Legisla? ture from Georgetown, and Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means in the House of Representatives. The Jadge referred the jury to bis exposi? tion of the laws concerning this ' offence, delivered to them at the first term of tbe Court and the beginning of their serviou. Direotiug tbeir no? tice specifically to this particular oaso, and requiring of them a full, fearless and honest investigation concerning it, he also nrged tbem to give their atten? tion to all similar cases that muy bo brongbt to their notice. We trust that tbe grand jury will not couQuo tbeir inquiry to this cobo of Bowley alone. There are many more persous against whom just as strong charges have been made, and tbe grand jury, now that it is directed npon tbe right road at last, should endeavor to retrieve its oharaoter, as the grand inquest of tbo County, from imputations of negleot, which justly rest npon it, in tbe dis? charge of its grave and important duties, for the last half dozen years. It should invite disclosures of informa? tion concerning publio abuses, and proteat those who have it and are ready to divulge it by committing it into tbeir hands. Wo take leave to call tbeir attention to a law said to have been fhgrantly violated, time and again, in tbe General Assembly, to be found in the 131st chaptor of tbo Re? vised Statutes: "If any person sbull, directly or indirectly, offrfr, give or engage to pay auy sum of money, or other valuable consideration, to an? other, in order to induce such other person to procure for him, by biB in? terest, influence, or any other moans whatsoever, any office or plaoo of trust within this State," &o. (Thon follows the punishment.) Again: "If, at any election for members of tbe Congress of the United States, aud at otbor epe aified elections, any person ahull, by the payment, delivery or promise of money, or other article of value, pro? cure another to vote for or against any particular candidate or measure, the person so promising aud tbe person so voting shall each be guilty of a misde? meanor," &o. Let the grand jury, whilo upon such inquiries, fail not to pu?ii tbeir investigations in this direction. We can discern in tbe article of tbo Union-Herald, which is made the basis of a ohurge against Bowley, that it was prepared and made speoifio for a pur? pose. In the shape in which it ap? peared, the Judge oould not omit to notioo it. The prosecution, which is to be based npon it, is to serve uh tbe main-spring to effect a political objsct. Bowley'a sin is not alone that he is guilty or charged with being guilty of corrupt practice as a legislator, to the great damage and scandal of the pure Republican party. That might have been forgiven in his eise, as in hun? dreds of others just as bad or worse. Bat Bowley has been guilty of an? other sin, that of joiniug tbo new party, and it has tended to make all his old sius desperately flagrant and intolerable. Charges that might other? wise have slept, are now all alive and bristling. But even in these charges there are two sides shown und two parties involved. If Bowley levied ?black mail from the contingent funds, and from the penal and charitable in? stitutions, there must bo other parties implicated, who also come under tbe punishments of the statute. "He re? ceived," it is said, "an order upon the Goveruor'sooutiugout fund for $2,500, which waslpaid." Who paid it, or au? thorized its paymeot? Who are tbo recipients of other contingent funds who forked over to Bowley? Why did they do it? Why should those in charge of moueysintoudod for charita? ble and penal institutions bo willing to divide with him? Did thoso parties bavo objeote to subserve iu which Bowioy's aid was needed aud had to bo paid for? It would Beem strange that be could levy contributions upon tbeso pnblio officers ut bis pleasure and without their bo neon t. Stranger still, that such a course of official conduct, if not con? sented to, should not bo resented aud exposed. We take leave again to ask tbo grand jury to do thorough work in this mutter, aud if thoy iudiotBowley, also to indict all pat ties who must huve been implicated with hiui in these t/anaactioos. Aud here wo remind l&m 9i.A3t?k9XJ&9tiu* in the mow chapter of the statutes: "Whoever oorruptly gives, offers or promises to any, executive, legislative or judicial officer, after his eleotioa or appoint meut, either before or after be is qualified, or has taken his eeat, any , gift or gratuity whatever, with iutent to icfluenou his act, vote, opinion, de oision or judgment on any mitler, ' question, cause or proceeding which may lie pending, or may by law oomo or be brought before him in his official capacity, shall be punished by impri? sonment in tho Statu Penitentiary at hard work, not exceeding five years, or by fine not exceeding S3.000, aud imprisonment in j dl not exceeding! one year." If you indict Bowley, in? dict his accomplices also, and let tho good work not stop with a political offender, but extend to all who have violated law, offended justice, aud outraged tho morality of the country. Crop EtiUiAutt'h. Wo find something gratifying as regards the estimate of crops iu this State in the report of the Department of Agriculture for August and {Septem? ber. This estimate, it must bo under? stood, ia not of quantity* but of the comparative condition of crops iu re? ference to former years. Tho average couditiou of the corn crop iu the whole country was, on tho 1st September, eighty-three; tbo maximum, 109, wus reached in South Carolina, being an advance of fourleeu over last year; the minimum, thirty-seven, iu Nobraskn. None of the largo com producing States reach an average. Tho only States that are average or above it nre Rhode Island, Condecticut, South Ca? rolina, Georgia, Florida, California and Oregon. The South Atlantic States, as a whole, are slightly above average, tho high condition in South Carolina aud Georgia compensating for the decline in Maryland, Virginia aud North Carolina. Iu wheat, tho South Carolina average is eighty-three, showing an increase of eight over lust year. We ha^o no, report from this State of oats, rye, barley, buckwheat, tobacco, potatoes or fruit, and but a alight account of sweet potatoes, hay and pastures. Iu cotton, owing to ex? cessive wet iu some parts, there has boon au exaggerated growth of weed without corresponding fruit. The ge? neral toue of tho reports ia lees hope? ful, aud tho prospect of tbo crop de? clined thirteen per cent, withiu the last mouth boforo tho dato of the re? port. We are not sufficiently advised to say whether there hud boeu auy im? provement siuco. Cotton is goiug forward slowly to ni irket, owing to dull and low prices. Wo have hero evidence ttt ouco of larger production of broidstoffs, uud of the necessity for it shown iu t'ac dimi? nished average of tho corn crop iu tho regularly corn-producing State?. The crops not reported, wo believe, aro larger tluu they have been for the lai*t few years. The low price of cotton, too, makes us rej doo that wo have another string to our provision bow than selling it at fourteen cents a pouud to b.iy coru at SI 50 a bushel. True policy will dictate to us to con? tract tho area of cottou making?juo acre produce what two uow do, and enlargiug that of coru uud other grain, looking carefully at the tame time to stock, bees, poultry, vegetables, fruit, &o. Have wo entered upon it? ? Highly ArtlUcliil anil Wholly Imagi? nary Outrages. Ou tho 2d of Suptctnber, in tho midst of profound peace iu South Ca roiina, President Grant was tuducuil by rcpro8eutatiou3 of daily violence uud nightly murders in this State, pressed upon him by men who also begged him to accept a nomination for tho third term, to docta :e, in a com? munication to tho Attorney-Geneial, that tho "recent atrooities iu Alabama, Louisiana and South Carolina show a disrogard for law, civil rights and per? sonal protection that ought uot to bo tolerated in any civil government." A committee of the State Tux Union have just reported, after extensive iu quirieB into tho allcgod atrocities, that they "have failed to utoertaiu u siuglo oa80 in tho State, of an injury, outrage or wrong committed during tho pre? sent year, by a while man upou a negro, in the3?ghtest degree attributa blo to race, color or previous couditiou of eorvitudoof the neg-o, or npou any Ropublioan on acoount of his political opinions." Wo beg President Grant's special attention to this report, assur? ing him that it is tho result of careful inquiry by disinterested aud intelli? gent gentlemen, uud ia the uuvuruishod truth. Lot him read it as ho smokes uud ponder ovor tho uncertainty of human affair.-', and the meinorublo language of Fulstaff, "O bow this world is given to lyiugl" . .

Tho faction fueling between tbe Nash ami Minort partisans grew unpleasantly high, and threatened the peace of the towu. Immense crowds of their adherents paraded up und down the streets, many of tliem j intoxicated with whiskey i.nd nil beside | themselves i\;th election excitement, j A considerable uumber were kept to- 1 get her in different quartern of tbe city, j supplied with the amis of the militia, ! aud ready to attack each other, us was j thought, and bring on a bloody riot, j Gov. Moses, feeling concern at this ! statu of Illings, au 1 not knowing where else to tutu to for help, cilled upon two of the oflicers of the Bichland Bifla Club, to kuow whether tbey would assist in preserving peace und order. The President and his officer.** took the mutter into consideration, and, after conferring with several of our most esteemed citizens, promptly made the Governor the following reply : Office R. R. Cncn, Columbia, October 5, lb7i To his Excellency b\ J. Moses, Jr., Governor of South Carolina?Silt: Iu response to your applicatiou, made this afternoon to some of the officers of the Rehluud Rifle Club, to obey au order of your Excellency, to be ready as a posse comittUus to preserve the pence iu cuso of a riot betweeu the Minort und the Naeh factious, which your Excellency apprehends may occur to-night; us President of the Club, and after full consultation with its officers, I have the honor to inform you that the members of the Club are ready to discharge their duty us good citizens, and that they will promptly obey any written order to conserve the peace that your b'xoelleucy may ex teud. Verv respectfully, vourobedieut servant, ilUGIl S. THOMPSON, President. The Governor expressed his high, j satisfaction, aud couveyed bis thanks j to the officers and company for their promptness iu responding to his re? quest, uud their readiness to discbarge the duty a-.ked of them This .striking fact is better than any argument that could be framed iu vindication of the usefulness aud necessity of theso clubs. \Yu trust that we shall hear no more flings at them.

A Dakgebous Season?Vegetation, doriog tbe summer, baa been wonder? fully tbick and rank, and, as it decays, an unusual amount of sickness may be expected, unless proper means are taken to prevent it. Fever und ugoo and billt us remit? tents already prevail to an alarming extent, and us tbe fall advances and tbe malarious nigbt logs becomo hea? vier, the sick list is likely to increase both in tbe city aud tho country. It is, therefore, only uu act of common prudence to keep tho vitul forces in full vigor, bo that they muy resist the unhealthy influences of the season. Reinforced by tho tonic operation of Hosteller's Stomach Bittern, the sys? tem, however weak und susceptible naturally, will, in nine cases out of ten, successfully corubut every species of at? mospheric poison by which epidemics are produced. Uuriug the mouths of September, October und November, tho difference iu temperature between day and night is very great, und the chilling dews and mists of the seasou are tbe prolific causes of indigestion, chu!eru-morbu3, ilturrLto i und dysentery. Bearing this iu mind, remember ulso that tbe Bit? ters not only invigorate the stomach and brace tho nerves, but uct specifi? cally upon tho bowels and tho liver, imparting to thoso important organs regularity uud toxo. It is not reason? able to expect immunity from prevuleut complaints if no precautions ure taken to escape them. Hosteller's Bitters aro ut ouce plea? sant to the taste, and the most certain of all safeguards against febrile ail? ments. It preserves health in the healthy, und renews it iu tbe weak aud ailing. 03T3^l What is the Matteu with Yoc?? If u friend is looking sick, this is usu? ally the question we put to him. It is asked everywhere, times innumerable, every day. Aud what are the most frequent answers toil? Are they not such as these: "Well, I'm a little bil? ious," or "I feel laoguid and used up," or "My stomach is out of order," or "I'm under the weather," or "I don't know what's the matter with me, but I don't feel right," or tbe like in? definite reepomes. Now, what is tbe matter with t he thousand.- of both sexes who cannot tell exactly whit ails them, and yet are evidently out of health? The matter is simply thic: they don't properly digest what they eat, tbeir livers are torpid, I heir nerves ure weak, their blood is impure, aud their vital energies ure depressed. What Ihey need is a course of Hostetter's Sto? mach Bitters?not oue or two doses, but a course? to strengthen their stomach?, superinduce a healthy flow of bile, steady und iuvigorate their nerves, im? prove the condttiou of their blood and rouse their vital powers. These results the great vegotuble restorative will assuredly bring abont. It rallies the whole s3 stem, teinforces every im? portant orgau, regulales every func? tion, UDd purifies every animal fluid. For chronic dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint, intermittent and re? mittent feverB, rheumatism, general debility, premature decay, aud tbe in? firmities of age, it is the best and safest stimulant and alterative that has ever been compounded. Its ingredients are all vegetable, all pure and whole? some. In districts infested with swamp miasma, nnd in all new settlements, its use is essential to the preservation of health.
