*THB WORK OF THE GRAND JURY.
Tbo investigations of the committee
nppointed by tlie Grand Jury at the last
Term of court resulted in a very extended
lirDOonhnnnf wKSnK wall
??H*vu nil! WW IUUUU WIDL' w
here, against the coanty treasurer and
other officials, bat the indictments which
have been framed by the Attorney General
form?only a part of the charges which
may yet be pressed to a solution. We
?*e far from being indifferent to the
calamities of others and regret the
necessity which made us an instigator of
an investigation which may, by %iany,
be attributed to a spirirt of malaco. Wc
are prepared to l?e abused and vilified
by partisans and detenders of the treasurer
according to the extent ot their
several obligations to him, but it should
not deter us as public journalists from
continuing to expose corruption aDd
fraud, or from publicly rebuking official
misconduct.
In-these degenerate times it is easier
to purchase defense for misdeeds than
to have error pursued and p unished, and
but fcr the Press all of the misdeeds of
officials in the State and National
politics world go unwhipped of justice.
ToT_rrn;nn. r> ?->
amvup uuu juuuiuuitui; cmuB are
as nothing compared to the wholesome
efforts for reform by an unsnb3idircd
press. National, State, and county
officials have amassed fortunes onjmodernte
salaries right under the noses of TaxUnions
and political clubs, and when s
hue and cry is raised ior an investigation
to account for misapplied funds a thousand
voices rush to the rescue. We have
110 desire to see any injustice done and
shall be prompt to try and correct any
wrong impressions we may hare produced
if a judicial investigation shall
provo the Treasurer guiltless, while a
conscieccionsness of having dons our
dnty as public monitor* will vindicate
us whatever may be the verdict ior or
gainst the accused officials.
COURT OF OBNEBAL SEHfilOKS.
The Court of General Sessions finished
np all the business before it except
the cases against the county officers on
.Friday last, and adjourned over till noxt
Friday. The case of T. P. Jones indicted
for murder was transferred to Waltsrboro
for trial on motion ot his counsel.
Joe Singleton, Archie Simmons, Boa
Wallace and Harry Sweet were convicted
of robbery, and sentenced to two.-years
in the penitentiary. Perry Brown was
convicted of aasault with intent to hill
and sent to jail for eight months. R. W.
Buford was fined $50 for an assault,
:wiving appealed from a trial justice
.'.court where he bad been fined but, one
dollar. Titos Green and Jupiter Ward
5 udicted for the murder of Jim Bush at
lardeeville were acquitted. John Snip*
and John Bright charged with the mur icr
of Gen. Howard were both convicted.
Their confederate, Geo Pinckney, escaped
<-u the ground that he was indicted as
an accessory when the evidence proved
1. ini to have been a principal. Sffipo and
-Bright were sentenced on Monday by
Judge Maher to be hnngon August 11th.
Snipo was not much moved by the
sentence, bat Bright cried and complained
that bis life was sworn away by
8nipe. ?.
The grand iurv returned tme unio
ngal&st George Holmes comity treasurer
for (1) jiivertirg tunds collected for one
fiscal year to payment of indebtedness of
of another fiscal year; (2) Improperly
* disbursing school funds; (8) Neglecting
to report collections of school funds; (4)
Dealing in teachers psy certificates.
The county commissioners were indicted
for Improperly approving an arronnt of
of the .county auditor for assessing
property. '* _
Upon the reading of the presentment
His Honor tbinked the Grand Jury for
the close application they had made in
* investigating matters which they fftlf
demanded their attention and which they
had prosecuted at. the. sacrifice of their
I . crops and other business, interests at home,
but be awaited ttet&i that the people
would not be unmindful of the services
rendered, and added that during his term
of . tenrice he hid never met with a <jpiy J
who bad more ltitMilu j ??-j
?j U?iuwu iiwir
f time to the public interest. He regrett ed
that it was not within his power to secure
for them adsqaate compensation,
and directed the clerk to issue the U*<ual
pay certificates. ' - ,
The grand jury for Edgefield County
v. rre usbletocome to any conclusion as
to the lynching of the row&ercni of lit.
Har-non and wi/e. Tiisy also request
Governor Chamberlain to issue Ma
proclamation for the arreet of MeDeeiti
with a suitable reward for his capture,
and that the solicitor prosecute his
lxindsmeti. As his bonds are considered
worthless it will he poor satisfaction to
irr'l in | II MB nil I ? 1 jflflMTHI !
tho tax pavt>r? even if a judgment is i
obtained. They also recommend that!
the county commissioners take possession \ 1

i Editor of the Tribune.
Since the action of the Grand Jury , i
in the matter of the county treasurer 1
' upon the very evidence which was j'
presented to the one that sat here a year _
ago and which so glibly passed over the 1
chargcsjj at that time prsseute 1, the re
have not failed to be idle tongues in this .
town that prato about "persecution"
44spite" etc. If there is any portion of i
the heavy burden of taxation which '
citizens have La right to demand shall '
bo more carefully handled tliau any ,
other, it is the money which is appro- (
printed for the education of youth.
And if in one portion of the State above '
all others, scrupulously honest and ,
cnrcful management and disbursement <
of that tax ought to be demanded of
Republican office holders, it is in this '
county of Beaufort, whcrj so large a J
majority of the children are entirely i
dependent on free schools for their train- t
ing. Even were a person governed by
no higher motives than the bare desire .
for party success, it would seem as if he <
would sec his end best attained by do- 1
ing all in his power to satisfy the universal
craving for education ot the hitherto (
ignorant masses. Only those who seek
power and office for jself aggrandizement t
can echo the sentiment attributed to the ?
Republican county chairman "Thank '
God my constituents do'nt rend news- ,
papers." Thoy arc indeed blind who
cannot recognize the fact that dull illit- t
eracy will ere long disqualify a person <
for exercising the right of suffrage in '
this land. Snch being the case, the
man who places stumbling blocks in the <
way of educatora is a public enemy and 1
a harbinger of defeat to the party which 1
has unfortunately taken him up.
Good teachers are* surely the first
requisite to a successful system of educa- c
tion, and in localities not wholly suppor- (
ted by the beneflcicnt aid of missionary
enterprise, money is* required to secure *
good teachers. Beaufort county has .
never had a superfluity of teachers, v
but such as it lias employed it had J
become indebted to in the sum of over *
twelve thousand dollars between the c
years 1870 and 1874. The grand jury t
at the Feb. term 1875 called the attention
of the school commissioner to the il
irregularity in )>ayment of teachers ?
salaries and at tlic same time in the pub
lislied report of the Superintendent of a
Education Mr. Jillann telt called ntvnn r
to Bay "I am fully satisfied of the c
existence of much fraud and wrong, bo
far as the pay of tcncbcrs is conccrlied. ^
In some counties, the teachers complain t
that they cannot obtain their pny from *
the county treasurer on the presentation j'
of their certificates, but are forcod to j
dispose -of their paper nt unreasonable r
, and oppressive.rates of discount to other a
parties .who'are doubtless cither in collu- ?
sion with, or in the interest and employ of,
sharks and sharers connected directly or t
indirectly,with the connty treasurer." n
It was no enviable position for the *
present School Commissioner to ^
1 occupy, when it became apparent that
! the friend to whom he owed his election C
was performing his own duties iu such "
a manner as to nearly render fulila the *
attempt to reform the school department, r,
by withholding money due teachers, a
ft lid thft nftfll ool nf inf -- r
vt IIIIUI1U.?IIUU U Ut" I
their county officer. With no willing ?
stop? was the County School Cominis- ^
siouer led to the conclusion that, the r,
county treasurer used the mean? at his t
command to compel teachers to dispose 1
of their pay certificates at a discount, 9
in order that he might benefit thereby, j
It became the disagreeable task of the s<
School Commissioner no matter at what s
sacrifice of ease or tastes to put a stop *'
to those practises, not only abhorrent in ^
themselves but antagonistic to the ideas, v
of reform which as a Republican he and d
his fellows had pledged themselves to c
inaugurate in this State. P

PBKSF.NTMKNT OF THE ORAND JURY. ji
The State of South Carolina ) In the
Beaufort County j Session#
To the Honorable John J Mnber a
Judge of the said court. * L
If
The Presentment of the Grand Jury tl
for the Mid county respectfully shows.- ?
' That during the vacation of the Court p
a committee of their body were engaged c<
in investigating the affairs and cxapiin- p
Ing the Various offices of the county j 8<
The labor assigned Mid committee hajy jr
proved very arduous and they hare not bi
been a Me to madce n? thorough'' a C
search aa they Would have desired into c
the matters submitted to their chsigr.
But the results already obtained show tti
the good effects of their action.
In the oflfee of the County Treasurer tr
MVefal clear violations of law have lx?en p,
discovered nift four bill of indictments tti
have been found against him for the b<
same.
Irregularities in other particulars liave T
beendiscovered hot the thue allowed for cc
prepare' ion of bills of indictment has di
been too short to embrace them therein, hi
The Grand Jury therefore deem It 8(
their duty to, and they accordingly do bl
present George Holmes, county treasurer it

For paying the original and duplicate

4. For paying out school funds withjut
vouchers and charging suid payments
is "contingeuts."
Besides the foregoing irregularities,
he Grand Jury have noticed others and |
unong the following which, if not actual
iftences against the letter are certainly
rffences against the spirit of the law
lamely:1.
charging and deducting commissions
o the amount of $603.10 for collection
if the taxes raised for school purposes
or the fiscal yenr ending Oct. 31 1874, in
iddition to charging and deducting
:ommls?tons to the amount of $3,250 lor
ol lecting State and County taxes,

aid year and held the reciepts of said
ouuty treasurer therefor. Said receipts

Irand Jury.
4. For payiftg certificate number 83
lated March,4 ,74 in favor of T. G. Webb

The witnesses necessary to prove the
l>ovc charges are W. J. Gooding. W. C.
Hnncr, Shepherd D. Gilbert, school
ommiesionar, Homer Williams, John
Vriglit and December Johnson.
The Grand Jury in this connection
iesire to call the attention of the court
o the fact that their committee made
everal demands on said cvnraty treasurer
or the stab receipt books -D1 & 'F' for
lie fiscal year 1878-4, containing about
wo thousand receipts and also tho only
ecord of the payments made by him on
uoiuni 01 me illegal capitation tax
bllected during tbe fiscal year ending
)ct. 31 1873.
Fur tho amounts paid by said county
rcasurer 011 improper vouchers and on
10 vouchers at all, the Grand Jury
rould recommend that the county commissioners
bring an action to recover the
aino from the said county treasurer.
Complaint was made this day to the
Irand Jury of certain alleged official
misconduct on the part of the coroner in
razing property from the sheriff in an 1
etion brought against him and sur
endering the same to the plaintiff on
n insufficient bond and before the time
rovided by law for the holding of such
iroperty in custody had expired. Tho
Irand Jury have had no lime to examne
into this matter but would
ecommend that the solicitor inquire into
he facts nnd prepare a bill for tho aoion
of the Grand Jury at its next term
hould it be advisable to do so.
It lias been # reported to the Grand
ury that in some case the bodies of per
tins who have cone to violent and
udden death have been buried beyond
he limits of the county before due inuiry
^was made by the coroner as to ,
he mode of death. This is a clear
iolation of .law and the grand jury
eeni it proper to Ulcc this method of
nlling public attention to this illegal
racticr.
Tho Jail and poor house were visited
nd their administration found of a
itisfactorv character. There is an insufciency
of bedding in the poor bouse
rliich should be 'supplied. The grand
ary recommend the erection of ?
mcoaround the building as the drifting
f the sand is impairing its foundation.
Great complaints are made of the
Imost impassable condition of the
ridges in certain parts of the countj and
re imperfect manner in which the roads
re worked. 'J he grand jury do theiefore,
resent the members of he Board of
5unty commissioners to wit: Paul
ritchard, R. 3. Martin and Vincent S.
cott for neglect of doty in not preparig
and keeping in good condition the
ridge acroas the Great Swamp on the
harieston road; also the bridge across
ypfeai Creek on the Sisters F?ry road;

> the two first named bridges are Oliver

ie last named bridges aru John 8%lvis;rg
and Dr. Charles Dupont.
The grand jury do further present
homns E. Miller late county school
ttnmiasioner for official misconduct in
rawing from the school funds in the
mds of the county treasurer the sum of
i.00 for his peisonal expenses to Coluni>s

>r drawing from said fund the sum of
