Judge of Probate, School Conimieioner. Treasurer and Auditor all in good irdc{. the book* well written, and everyliing in perfect order. The jail is Tory uuch out of repair, and a new one ought o be built in a more liealtby location. The | iresent building is entirely too small and ladly ventilated The prisoneis are widl rcated, and make no complaint of their j hre.

The paper* in the office of ihc Judge of Probate, belonging to the office of ordinary abolished hy the reconstructed government, nnd incorporated with the Probate office, | are in inextricable confusion being disarranged by the United Slates troop*. The; papers are in a measure useless. Th( present incumbent has made repented efforts to j get an order of Court to have them ar- j ranged and recorded at public expense, ami lias heretofore failed. We recommend that the Judge of Probate be authorized to einp'oy a competent person to do the work, at a cost, of one hundred dollars, when finished to his satisfaction, to be paid for by the C( unty Commissioners. We have examined nil the returns of the treasurer of the spocinl commissioners of the Wateree Free Bridge and find that we cannot make a full and intelligible report without consuming more time than the term of the Court will allow. We therefore, respectfully request that the Court will order that the foreman of this jury be authorized to appoint three members of the Jury?0. Macrae, J. McClair and ,T. D. McDowall?or any two of them a committee to examine the papers, ac founts ami vouchers of the *nid treasurer, and report to the next session of the court. Nn report has ever been made by the commission to the Clerk of the Court, ns the law direct*, and without such report or vouchers it is impossible to make a satisfactory review of the receipts and payments. The Ooti-f House has been recently shingled. nnd the whole building thoroughly repaired. We visited the office* of Trial Justices DePass. Dunlap nnd !fnv, and found noth ing amis*. We recommend that the fees r>f the Trial Justices be reduced and modi- j lied. or the office be abolished hy the Leg-f r'slalnre. j We have examined the books of fbej fTonnfy CommNsioners and find 'hem ivell written up fo date. There are no funds ippiiesldc (or current expenses. The mard has audited over sijclecn hundred , lollnrs to dale; nnd there will proliahly he i deficiency of over three thousand dolnrs nt the end of the fiscal venr. W? can | kee no end to such deficiencies so lnnj as hey are required to mpet disbursements 1 tver which they have no control previous ] o payment?such as expenses of Court, Sheriffs fees. Trial Justices costs and jail 'ipenses. We therefore recommend that till inch expenses he defrayed by the general :overnment of the state, to which they . iroperly belong. a We protest against an order of the county I | ointnissioners to close the pates of the free iridge at 9 o'clock'p. in., or any other hoar, j riic keeper shonld pivo his constant alien-j In nee at all hoars, as he is paid for it.
