Since the 19th d:iy of November last, up to the middle of March, the County Commissioners have audited over seven thousand Dollars worth of checks upon the County Treasury. This is economy with a vengeance. While on tliis subject, We would say. that it is required by the law, that a full board of Commissioners must be present when accounts arc audited and checks given. But Mr. J. F. Sutherland, the Chairman of the Board,'is now absent in New York, and ^ the Poor House inmates are needing provisions. How can they be procured, during absence of one of the Board? Surely it must 6e~the contemplation oTTtie rJVv, mar ma case of protracted absence, a temporary chairman should be appointed, who would have authority with the balaneeof the Board. to sign checks. We understand that the Commissioners have taken this course. Great Generosity. I We have been much gratified to learn that the ladies of Morristown, N. J., have remitted to a friend i ere. the handsooi" donation of one hundred dollars, in aid of the Episcopal Church, now in process of construction. The money was part of the proceeds of a uiusffnl concert given in Morristown. We were requested by the lady to whom the money was sent, to mention this instance of Christian charity, and to thank the fair donors fin1 their very liberal and acceptable gift.' From the evidence thus furnished, we should judge that ;tjie Qi heert had ken a ( t uccess, and at a 113- rate, we sincerely hope so. laccinHnrism. We learn that orr the night of the 10th inst. Mr John C. Love had his dwelling house, kitchen and stable with his only horse, destroyed by fire, the work of incendiaries. Mr. I.OVE. his. wife and five children were thus left, in the midst of very inclement weather, without a roof to cover their heads, or anything to sust. i.i life upon. On Saturday, he eauip to Town, and was kindly assisted by the citizens, both in the way of money and provisions. No clue as }et lias been found to detect the perpetrators of this horrible crime. Among the Trial Justices. On Moifday, Chamtion Was brought bc1 fore Trial jitstice SciiROCK, 011 a charge of I stealing chickens from Geo. Alden, Esq.?

The following extraordinary production was found posted up on Broad Street, on Tuesday last. The subscriber is Hon. (?) Stephen Garky, Representative of Kershaw in the State Legislature.

GAREY" Accident at Lexington Military Institute.?It is the practice of the students at this Institute- to collect every morning on the second floor of the porch of the v.lmj: .,;t n.. llisiltuic PUJUUl^Ig IV iCIUVV tuta UiUii. V/i-i Tuesday, fith instant, the platform gave way, precipitating them all about fiftee^ feet to the floor below, by which twenty-one were injured. Cadet A. T. Wiloox, of Tennessee, had a leg brokeu ; ten got limbs sprained; the remaining ten wcro considerably bruised, but forrtunately had no bones broken, ; The New York Tribune after commenting editorially upon the temperate course of the Taxpayers' Convention, remarks: "We ."should be glad if there were some lcgiti"mate authority pure enough and wise e"nough to give force to its resolutions." # Ku-Klux.?The' Cohrmbia Union, of the 14th insfc., stated that Mr. Leahcy, Probate Judge of Newberry County, arrived in the , city Saturday night, having received one of those Ku-Klux documents i;to quit." Mr. Lcuhey, it is reported, will tender his resignation to the Governor this morning. . figyThc Governor has appointed William j 1). Grcgoric, a trial Justice, for Beaufort j County. | Come to Grief.?Major Dickinson, the colored South Carolina militiaman, who was mentioned a few days ago as circulating a paper of recommendation to Northern lecture committees, is committed to the Toombs, .New York, in default of two thousand five hundred dollars bail, on a charge of robbing a fellow passenger, a "carpet-bagger," (socalled,) who was returning North with one thousand four hundred dollars of spoils. Titk Nr.nno Debt Question.?No ease involving the payment of debts contracted for the purchase of slaves has been or will be tried at the present term of the court.? When the first case was called, Judge Orr expressed his regret that he could not con (iMwion of the Supreilie Court of this State, and that he would fooL himsclf constrained to instruct the jury that debts contracted for slaves could not be collected, and the prohibition in the State Constitution was not a violation of the Constitution of the United States, lie suggested that it would perhaps be most prudent to continue all such cases until the decision of the Supreme Court of the United Stales upon the question should bo announced. The members of the bar approved of the suggestion. and all that class of cases was continued. Judge Orr has a very distinguished precci dent fi<r his determination in this case. In the case of the State vs. Wells, (2d Hill. 687,) Judge Earle decided that the Conirrtiss could not confer jurisdiction on the j State courts to try violations of the criminal 1 law of the United States. It went to the State Supreme Court; the Court rovers, d his decision. Two years later, the case of the State vs. McBridc, involving the same principle. came before him on the circuit, and he refused to recognize the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the State vs. Wells. An appeal was taken, and the rcmoddlcd Appeal Court of the State overruled the decision in the case of the State vs. Wells, and sustained the position taken by Judge Baric. This last case will be found in Rice's Law Reports, page 400. Grent v iUc AI>>Hn tit inccr. Tiie Ohio Democrats Coming Ur Rioiit.?There is said to be a movement on loot fur a new and real departure of the Democrneay of Ohio. It is proposed to ''accept the situation," as the phrase goes, fully and frankly, including the fourteenth and liftccuth amendments, and to bring out for Governor a gentleman whose conservatism is a guarantee that so far as ho is concerned, and his influences goes with the party, there will be no reactionary movement, and no cnen nr.iconic nt of the revolutionary suirit ~ i ?B ^ I which Frank.

Cincinnati Commercial. 7Yellow Fever in Bcknos Aykes.? This scourge is making frightful ravages in this fairest of the South American republics. The telegraphic notes of its progress had not at all enabled us to realize the shocking state of affairs which the latest mail advices disclose. When the disease broke out in the city of Buenos Ay res, it contained 200.000 inhabitants. Of these, on April 12th, 120,000 had fled to the plains, where they were camped in tents or quartered in huts of cattle raisers. The rainy season had just set in, subjecting the fugitives to discomforts of most miserable description. Of those who remained in the city, 700 were dying daily. Among the American residents in Buenos Ayrcs who have fallen victims to the disease are Messrs. Enward Springs, Edward Engcrt, (t. Walker, Johu Butler. Win. Nicholson, Charles Longford, John Gibson. Gallagher, Berrian. Arocena-and three little daughters of Mr. Raucke.

HODGSON & DUNLAP. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, r For Diseases of the Throat and Langs, such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, A?thmn, and Consumption. Probably never bcfqro in the whole history of medicine, has any thing won so widely ana so deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through along scries of years, and among most of the races of men it has risen higher and higher in their estimation, as it has become betterknown. Its uniform character and power to cure the various affections of the lungs and throat, have made it known as a reliable protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at the same time the most effectual remedy that can be given for incipient consumption, and the dangerous affections of the throat and lungs. As a provision against sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all are sometimes subject to colas and coughs, all should bo provided with this antidote for them. , Although settled Consumption is thought lSh curable, still great numbers of cases where the disease seemed settled, have been completely cured, and the patient restored to sound beoltn by the Cherry PcAoral. So complete is its mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When nothing else could reacli them, under the Cherry Pectoral they subside and disappear. Singers and Public Speakers find great protection from it. Asthma is always relieved and often wholly cured by it. Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the ' Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses. 80 generally are its virtues known, that we need IlO( puuneu me ceruuumtK ut uiem uerc, or do more than assure the public that its qualities are fully maintained. Ayer's Ague Cure, For Fever and A sue, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &o., and indeed all the affections which arise from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic poisons. v As its name implies, it docs Cure, and does not fail. Containing neither Arsenic. Quinine, Bis- . muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance whatever, it in nowise injures any patient. The number and importance of its cures in the ague districts, are literally beyond account, and we believe without a parallel In the history ? of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures effected in obstinate cases, and where other remedies had wholly failed. Unacclhuated persons, either resident in. or travelling through miasmatic localities, will bo protected by taking the AGUE CUKE daily. For JAvrr Complaints, arising from torpid- ' ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating the Liver into healthy activity. For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it is an excellent remedy, producing many truly remarkable, cures, where other medicines bad failed. Prepared by Dit. J. C.

' r \ * travellers are altrays liable to sudden attacks of Dysentary and Cholera Morbus, and these occurring when abscrit from home are very unpleasant. The Pais Killer may be relied upon in such cases. As soon us you feel the symptoms, tuke one tcaspoonful in a gill of new milk and molasses and a gill of hot water, stir [ well together and drink hot. Repeat the dose every hour until relieved. If the pains bo scvcrq, bathe the bowels and back with the medicine clear. In cases of Asthma and Phthisic, take a tcaspoonful in a gill of hot water sweetened with molasses; also bathe the throat and stomache faithfully with the medicine clear. Dr. Sweet Bays it takes out the soreness in cases of bone setting faster than anything he ever applied. Fisherman so often exposed to hours by having their skin pierced with liPoks, and fins of fish, can be relieved by bathing with the Pain Killer as soon as the accident occurs; in this way the anguish .is soon abated; bathe as often as once in five, say three or four times, aud you will seldom have any trouble. The bites and scratches of dogs nnd cats arc soon cured by bathing with the Pain Killer cloa*.1 May. 4.? ]m State of South Carolina, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, COLUMBIA, S. C., MAT 8th 1871.
