Address all communications to THE TRIBUNE HKAIIFORT, S.C. It hns been supposed thnt the duty of a grand jury was to correct abuses, bring the guilty to trial, and so regulate the rfuirs of the county as to serve the best interests of the citizens and tux payers. 'J'he Court of General Sessions is oven and Ave lied a grand jury whose duty it was lo 6erve our county, but we fear that 1 hey found it too burdensome to do their duty, and too unpleasant to indict those who were the most culpable. It will be seen by the report of the 8chool commission t, that he brought to their attention charges against the county treasurer but the jury paid no attention to them. Evidence was also produced, that the treasurer had bought school certificates and county checks at a discount but the grand jury ignored these charges. The proof is still at hand bat the tax payers will be obliged to wait for another year, und another jnry that will return indictments that undisputable evidence furnishes. We are informed that when the report of the grand jnry was written the foreman was separated from the rest of the jury, and that the county officer most in danger was with him while it was written, and that afterwards this same officer remarked previous to the presentment being read in court, that it amounted to nothing. The casesof the Trial Justices sscms to have been ignored, although it is reported that only one of them iu the county has made proper returns during the past year. The grand jury of Charleston has in marked contrast to our own indicted the late county commissioners fur paying claims on bills not signed by the persons in whoso names the claims have been made, while our commissioners have done the same thing more than once and one s man whose name was used declared that he had never performed the labor, had never authorized his name to be used, and had never bcon informed that the money had been drawn for him, although his claim had been allowed nearly a year ago, and wassuprrised to hear of the transaction. This account was made out, his mark affixed, and the money drawn by one of the county commissioners, while the claimant was seventy five miles away. The County Commissioners of Charleston in their report present the county commis sioners as ioiiows: "we also present M. McLaughlin, F. C. Miller and R. N. Gregoric, for official misconduct, and fraud in dis bursing improperly the funds of the county, in auditing and approving a bill against the county for services rendered by Teter Ashe, when no such services were rendered, and the bill is not signed by Peter Ashe." "After the report of the grand jury in Charleston Judge Reed *aid: "I am gratified, Mr Foreman, and ( gentlemen of the grand jury, that as ju- ( rort, good and law-abiding citizens, you ( have hsd the independence to do your { duty, nndel the instruction of the Court, ] in presenting all persons as you have , thought it necessary to do at this mo- j ment for all violation of duty by public officers. You are entitbd to the crmmendation of every honest and good , citizen in the County of Charleston, and ( you may rest assured you will get it 1 admonish you to go on with your good work until the Augean stable is thorough j ly cleansed. You are to know no man. | The dearest friend yon have on earth or | the highest citizen of Charleston we know BO more than "Nimiii" in jail yonder, charged with so many ' crimes. If they a*e accused of crimes ( of which they are not gniltj, let them prove it and they will be exonorated; if they are guilty, the pnblic will be vindicatedr.' If that jury bad served Beaufort county lost 4eek more indict ments would hare been brought in and j some beads would now rest nneasy. Presentment of the Grand dory. To His Honor J. J. Maher, # Judge of .be 2d Circuit. I The Grand Jury respectfully rep ort 1 (hat they bay# completed the business j placed before tbem by tbe Solicitor. I They have also felt it incumbent upon i them to examine into special charges 1 brought to their notice. The i^rst being a charge jtgainst tbe County Treasurer of i . rcetiviz.g ?s commissions for the oollec- i {ion of the county Taxes an amount in < /excess of what Law allowed. The . Grand Jury found thai owing to the ae- i ' % lion of the Legislature in passing and t vp< filing different Acts bearing upon this I n/BLr,' obhct, they bad finally >ft this qnea- t tion In such donbt and obscurity ft bad s J become a matter of great uncertainty as j ^ to what amount the County Treasurer < was really entitled to for his terrier*. I In dilemma tire County Jimwttei < paid Mm by them was based upcm^tM* i ugai opinion, and was neither more nor < \ less than the amount paid to his predcces- < 3or. Ilia commissions charged upon the other county funds were based upon the same opinion. Tho Grand Jury therefore feel called upou to cxhonorate him from this charge more especially as the same question in other counties has been adjusted in the same manner, the law not being clear and explicit upon the matter. A second charge of not being punctual and regular in his monthly reports as required by law of certain funds in Ins hands designated for special purposes was also brought to their attention. This is certainly sn omission of duty, though not entirely so in his case as he had complied in part, therefore the Grand Jury consider it only necessary to call the attention of all County Officers to this law and ilirert their strict observance to its full! requirements in the future. The Grand Jury feci compelled to state and with sincere regret that they find the financial eoudition of the county in ! a most unsatisfactory state, owing to the ! expenses up to this period boi.ig greatly 1 in excess of the receipts, and consequently j causing an annual deficit which goes to swell an already large amount of indebtedness which must cluminate either in additional taxation, which is already oppressive, or a repudiation of the debt. But the immediate consequences are, more serious to us, as it not only interferes greatly with the necessary business of the county but hns also brought about a very extensive trading in county paper,' frequently at enormous discounts, which reflects discredit on the county and 19 a criminal offence if indulged in by county officers. W bile the remedy seems to exist chiefly with the legislature they feel it to be their duty to call the attention of the Board of county commissioners to the fact that the county is living beyond its income and earnestly enjoin upon them to devise some means by which their expenses shall not exceed their receipts, and they shall pay as they go, even should it neccsitate their urging upon the legislature the cutting down of present salaries and adopting other economical measures. "While upon this subject it will be well to state that the belief prevails with some Sersons that considerable partiality is isplaycd in the payment of claims against the county, and this preference is given without apparunt good reasons. The Grand Jury at this term cannot substantiate these charges but should they prove to be true will bring the subject to the attention of the pronerauthorites. They have also made the discovery that the different county officers consider themselves entitled to certain contingent funds frojn which to provide themselves with stationery and lor other ; business purposes. We are led to helipvp I they have no warrant of law for this action and a continuance of it will subject tbem to punishment. It is with great pleasure the Grand Jury state that a communication has keen received trom the present polite incumbent of. the School Commissioner's office indicating a determination to conduct the affairs of his office not only in conformity -with the law but for the best good of the people, and we trust a decided improvement will result. As a specimen of the behavior of some Trial Justices the attention of the Grand Jury has been called to one W. W. Bowie a trial Justice at Honey Hill who in a case ov Ephraini Armstrong against Pinckney McColonel lined both parties five dollars and dismissed the case and has not since made a return of tlio same to the county treasurer. Citizens of! Robert Township and 8t Helena have re j quested that the attention of the County. Commissioners be directed to the roads and bridges in their vicinities which they represent as requiring immediate attention. The Grand Jury- have visited the Poor House aud Jail, nnd are much pleased with the improvements made since their lost visit. The Jail is a model of cleanliness and order both inside and out. The Poor House is also well cared for, but the Grand Jury could not dis^ov er that any steps had been taken as yet towards making it selfsusininlng though they undt-r-Blaud steps will be taken 1 towards this end very hhortly. The attention of the Grand Jury lias' been called to an Act nt tl>? r i .4.V lull" approved March 24th. 187;?, which bears with peculiar hardship upon the most needy of the inhabitants of the county. By this Act county treasurers arc forbidden to pay Jury or Witness tickets without the endorsed approval of the Board of County Commissioners and the Board of Commissioners are forbidden to give , their approval until the County Treasurer notifies them that he has funds in hand to , make the payment, uow as this notifica- , lion can only take place at rare intervals in this County and will be first known j by those immediately around the Court ( House if will result to the special bene- j St of the people of the town of Beaufort , tnd to the total exclusion of the county people whose tickets are not valuable 1 [or making payment on their taxes. This is a special hardship and should be brought to the notice of the niemtiers of the Legislature. To the Officers of the County the Grand Jury beg to return their thanks for their couitesy and attentions. All of which is respectfully submitted. Joseph Glover. Foreman Grand Jury. Report of tlie School Commlnitloiier. Joaeph Glover Enq. Foreman and mern'tort of the Grand Jnry\ Gentlemen, In Your presentment of la>t Febuar^'a Term was (he following paragraph. "The Grand Jury also l?eg to call the attention of the School Commissioner to his Department, in which there is vast Improvement needed. The chief difficulties being the incompetency of many of the teachers, and the irregularities in the payment of salaries." This allusion to the Department of which I have charge will, I trust, wan-dot my addressing Your Honorable Body at this time. Tshall endeavor to show my appreciation of yonr suggestions in regard to the qualifications of teachers l>y rcquir- 1 ing in the future a more rigid examina' 1 ion to be successfully passed by those i iCckicg certificates as teachers; of one Hundred and sevim teachers employed < luring the past season, all but six bad twen furnished certificates ?>cfore I enter M upon the discharge of my duties. Tha Irregularity of the payment of lalarira i? certain Schoo l Ih-.tri.ts, taaii mb-Ject which assuredly demands atten"ton tram all, for it is a difficult me:tor to , :Ugagc cottptien: teacher* ar>^ ihw mil 11 in r fau obtain prompt ami adequate pay for their services. Under the existing tax law. the funds from which teachers are paid are collect- ; cd, appropriated und disbursed at such a time of the year as necessitates the teachers waiting many wctks for the ft money that is due them, unless a sufficient balance is left over trotn the previous ' year. To place the finances of a ai school district on a secure footing it ir would be necessary to cut the school term p short in some one year, for an amount to li be left on hand w herewith to niaintan T teachers during the early part of the ai next school year. p The adoption of sub a plan would proba- tc bly subject the School Commissioner and si Trustees to unreasonable censure from the vi ignorant and faultfinding, but I can dis- tc ccm no other way out of the dilemma. d The School fund is at best so stuall, fi that to be obliged to dispose of their pay tl certificates at a discount, is indeed a tl hardship for a class of public servants ui whose Wages are in most cases faithfully a labored for and well earned. I deem it m my duty to to use every eflort to prevent that fund from being diminished in any rc way not appearing to be warranted by ir law, and I respectfully ask your attention tl to the following statement, and that it pi may be a subject for your careful iuves- ja tigation. 01 Upon qualifying as School Commi;- ft sioner on the 23rd day ot Dec. 1874 I c< was unable to find any record that woukl^ st enable mc to understand the transactions of the Office in the past, and in preparing c< for the settlement of past due claims re mnining unpaid, I was forced to register d all legal claims that were presented for ...... * 1 ...?v |>uipuBc. in connection wiin a; school funds, I found on file the County b! Treasurer's reports for the year ending ol Oct 81st 1873. but none for 1874. On r( inquiring of my piedeceasor for the lat- ni tcr, he informed me that he had never f( received any, though asking for it many al times. Believing that the compensation k of the County Treasurer is fixed by rt statute nt a sum not to exceed twenty- tl five hundred dollars a year., I find that c< in the year 1873, he deducted from the si local school taxes of the different dis- <*< tricts nn amount aggregating over t\ Six hundred dollars, as commissions, tl in addition to the twenty-five hundred dollars. A similar amount was also ^ charged in 1874. the absence of the reports rendering it impossible fur mc to state the exact amount. ^ The same deficiency of proper records makes it iuiposiblo for nie to state Q| whether or no the practice of levying commissionB on the School fund had prevailed prior to 1873. but I have been m informed that.such was not the case. Having been Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners during the past OJ two years, it is of my own knowledge jn that I assert that the Treasurer received w Twenty five hundred dollars from the tf1 State and county ia addition to theBe commissions taken froiu the school tax. Ui I would state l'urtin r, that under the c< provisions of Section 6 of "an Act con- n( cerning School Funds*' approved Feb 20th 1873, it is made the duty of ?ach Q] County Treasurer to report monthly on ftl the fifteenth day of each month to the w County School Commissioner of his county, the amount of collections and cj disbursements made by him for the n. month on account of poll tax and other p school funds- The annual Ilcport of the Superintendent of Education says w that this monthly statement "should be ^ strcnously insisted upon by County Sl] School Commissioners." I roceivcd no report at all in January, and since p February have not only had no report of disbursements, but upon applying for such, was informed by the Treasurei (j that he had given mc all that the law p) required; such as I did receive may be jr examined in my Office. a, To recur k> the matter of irregularity w in the payment of teachers salaries I can pi .urthcr state that in the absence of the a] Treasurer from town cither for pleasure p, or business, the Office is virtually closed vj and in not a few instances, teachers from ^ a distance have been unable to obtain p; their pay, no provision bjing made fcr jr payment in his absence. fp At the risk of trespassing upon your jq time I venture another quotation from t; Mr. Jillsons Annual Report, -'I am fully ft satisfied of the existence of much fraud and wrong, so far as the pay of tcachcis u, is concerned. In some Counties, the p1 teachers complain that they cannot obtain ilieir pay from the County Treasurer ol on the presentation of their certificates, but are forced to dispose of their paper gC at unreasonable and oppressive rates of a, discount, to other parties w ho nre doubt- pi less either in collusion with, or in the tj interest and emp'oy "of, sharks and sliav- nj ers connected, directly or indirectly, with di the county Treasurer, "and as a comaientary thereon I present the ncconi- a, panying affidavit given me by u School |)( teacher and remain, p, Your Obedient Servant ShEPART) I). GlI.RERT f0 School Commissioner b,, State of So. Carolina ) County of Beaufort. \ ?' Personally appeared before me D. F. Hyatt, who being duly sworn deposes and says that he was a school ^ teacher during the months of May and June 187*2, and as such was entitled to ? ana riccivcu a Teachers pay certificate? No 24G for the amount of ($70) seventy dollars. That being unable to collect the same on presentation to the County Treasurer and lieing in need of funds, be was subsequently induced to dispose ot the same to one B. D. Bams a clerk in the employ of the Treasurer of Beaufort County for the sum of ten Dollars, negotiated for in the office of the said Treasurer. Further lie believes and has rensqn to believe that at the time of the sale of the aforesaid certificate a provision had been made by the Legislature, ar d of which he yas then ignorant, for t the payment of pa^t due Teachers claims similar to his own. Further deponent ha* been informed that the said claim has been registered in the office of the School Commissioner as the property of George Holmes Treasurer of Beaufort County.
