THE WORK OF THE GRAND JURY. ?
TIic inveBtigations of the committee c
Appointed by the Grand Jury at the last ^
term of court resulted in a very extended t(
presentment, which will be found olsuvhere,
against the county treasurer and
other officials, but the indictments which c:
have been framed by the Attorney Gen- ^
* rai lurui-vui j a pan oi tiic marges which u
may yet be pressed to a solution. We P
ve far from being indifferent to the ^
calamities of others and regret the a
necessity .vhich made us an instigator of c
an investigation which may, by %iany, ?
be attributed to a Bpirirt of maloce. Wc *
are prepared to be abused and vilified c
by partisans and defenders of the treas- 11
urer according to the extent ot their ^
several obligations to him, but it should 11
not deter us as public journalists from n
continuing to expose corruption and
fraud, or from publicly rebuking official v
misconduct. 11
In-these degenerate times it is ensier c
to purchase defense for misdeeds than M
to have error pursued and p unished, and P
but fcr the Press all of the misdeeds of c
officials iu the State and National *
politics world go unwhipped of justice. ^
Tax-Unions and Democratic clubs are P
as nothing compared to the wholesome c
etbrts for reform by an unsub3idired e
press. National, State, and county
officials have amassed fortunes onjmoder- "
nte salaries right un dcr the noses of Tax- n
Unions and political clubs, and when a w
hue and crv is raised tor an in???n?r??in- a
B?| h
to account for misapplied funds a thou- ~~
sand voices rush to the re3cue. We have
no desire to see any injustice done and
shall be prompt to try and correct any 11
wrong impressions we may hare pro- tc
duced if a judicial investigation shall ei
prove the Treasurer guiltless, while a ?
conscleeciousncss of having done our n<
duty as public monitors will vindicate
us whatever may be the verdict tor or **
against the accused officials.

COURT OF OBNKBAL SESSIONS.
The Court of Oeneral Sessions finish- .
c-d up all the business before it except *ri
the cases against the county officers on 88
Friday last, and adjourned over till next lia
Friday. The case of T. P. Jones tndicted
for murder was transferred to Wal- to
tsrboro for trial on motion ot his counsel. ei
Joe Singleton, Archie Simmons, Be a t&
"Wallace and Harry Sweet were convicted *E
of robbery, and sentenced to two. years
in tho penitentiary. Perry Brown was ll'
convicted of assault with intent to hill ?|
and sent to jail for eight months. R. W.
Buford was fined $00 for an assault, ftI
' wiving appealed from a trial juBttoe P*
jr c ourt where he bad been fined but, one 81
dollar. Titus Green and Jupiter Ward 8'
i iMllcted for the murder of Jim Bush at *n
rlardeeville were acquitted. John Snipe
and John Bright charged with the mur- P'
ter of Gen. Howard were both convicted. 01
Their confederate, Geo Pinckney, escaped ^
<;a the ground that he was indicted as w
an accessory when the evidence proved a
l.iai to have been a principal. Sffipe and
Bright were sentenced on Monday by ^
Judge Maher to be hung on August 11th. at1
Bnipe was not much moyecf by the
sentence, but Bright cried an d complain- .
cd that bia life was sworn away by

Editor of the Tribune,
Since the action of the Grand Jury ,
n the matter of the. county treasurer
ipon the very evidence which was
resented to the one that sat here a year
go and which so glibly passed over the
liargcaj at that time preaentel, there
avc not failed to be idle tongues in this
pvn that prato about "persecution"
spite" etc. It there is any portion of
tic heavy burden of taxation which
nizens nave ta ngnt 10 demand shall
in moro carefully handled than any
thcr, it is the -money which i<? approbated
for the education of youth,
ind if in one portion of the State above
11 others, scrupulously honest and
arcful management and disbursement
f that tnx ought to be demanded of
tcpnblicau office holders, it is in this
nunty of Beaufort, wherj so large a
lajority of the children are entirely
ependent on free schools for their irainig.
Even were a person governed by
o higher motives than the bare desire
ir party success, it would seem as if he
roulci see his end best attained by do
ug all in his power to satisfy the universal
raving for education ot the hitherto
?norant masses. Only those who seek
lower and office for ]sclf aggrandizement
an echo the sentiment attributed to the
tcpublic&n county chairman "Thank
lod ray constituents do'nt read newsapers."
They arc indeed blind who
amiot recognize the fact that dull illitracy
will ere long disqualify a person
jr exercising the right ot suffrage in
Ilia land. Snch being the case, the
lan who places stumbling blocks in the ,
rny of educators is a public enemy and
harbinger of defeat to tho party which
as unfortunately taken him up.
Good teachers arc* surely the first
jquisite to a successful system of oducn- (
on, and in localities not wholly suppor- i
(d by the beneficient aid of missionary
iterprise, money is^ required to secure \
aod teachers. Beaufort county has
;ver had a superfluity ot teachers, ^
it such as it has employed it had J
iconic indebted to in the sum of over
reive thousand dollars between the
are 1870 and 1874. The grand jury
the Feb. term 1875 called the atten- |
in of the school commissioner to the
egulnrity in payment of teachers
lories and at tlic same time in the pub
bed report of the Superintendent of
iucation Mr. Jillson ielt called upon
say U1 am fully satisfied of the
dStenee of much fraud and wrong, so
r as the pay of teachers is conecr ncd.
i.some counties, the teachers complain
lat they cannot obtain their pay from
le county treasurer on the presentation
" their certificates, but arc forcod to
ispose-of'their paper at unreasonable
id oppressivc.rates of discount to other
trues ,wao4are uouotless either in collu- *
on with, or io the interest and employ of,
i?rks and sharers connected directly or t
directly,with the county treasurer." '
It was no enviable position for the '
resent School Commissioner to ^
icupy, when it became apparent that
te friend to whom he owed his election (
as performing his own duties iu such 1
manner as to nearly render futile the ^
tempt to reform the school department, ,
j withholding money due teachers, t
id the refusal of information due 1
eir county officer. With no willing J
jps was the County School Commis- j
mer led to the conclusion that the t
unty treasurer used tho means at his t
mmand to compel teachers to dispose *
their pay certificates at a discount, 8
order that he might benefit thereby, j
became the disagreeable task of the a
hool Commissioner no matter at what 8
crifice of ease or tastes to put a stop *
those practises, not only abhorrent in J
em selves but antagonistic to the ideas, v
reform which as a Republican he and c
?fellows had pledged themselves to c
lugurate m this State. *

The Grand Jury in this connectio
iesire to call the attention ot the coui
o the fact tiiat their committee mad
everal demands on said enrotv trcasun
or the stub receipt books -D' & 4F' fc
be fiscal year 1878-1, containing aluic
tvo thousand receipts and als > tho onl

For tho amounts paid by said count
reasurt-T on improper vonchcrs and o
in vouchers at all, the Grand Jur
tould recommend that the connty corr

Complaint was made this day to th
3mnd Jury of certain ullegcd officii
nisconduct on the part of the coroner i

iction brought against him and nui

ons who have cone to violent ani
adden denth have boen buried beyom

iractice.

nd their administration found of
atisfactory character. There is an insul
Iciency of bedding in the poor bous
