WOKJC FOi: 01R LKU1SLA- Tl VR SOL ONS. A a the time i’or the meeting of our Legislature is thawing near, U may not be out of place to make a lew remarks by way oi suggestion upon maiteis of reform, which will probably come before them, and upon which the public may reasonably expect them to act with wis dom and promptit tide, so that the busi ness may be got through with and the eessison not unduly prolonged. One ol the fi:st and most iniportaut questions to the taxpayer is to obtain a thorough and entiro reform in the county government, which can be done by a change iu the Constitution so as to abolish the office or Board of County Commissioners, which from the frauds and viliany worked out under it in every part of the country may wi 11 bo called the Beard of llascaiity. This should bn wipel out at once, and along with it the office of Auditor, the evil workings of which have been almost if not equaiit^, as great as that of the County Commis-, sioners. Both of these offices were Radical creations, gotten up and forced upon the pe'pie for the purpose of extortion and fraud, to fill the pockets and Anther the ends of the head rascals and thieves a! the Capital. In piool of this, we h.-.vo only to look over the Slate and everywhere we find the same complaint. Many have filled their pockets and run away, as was the case with a former Auditor of Aiken county who is now in hiding from the officers of j ustice. And others who did not run, if they get their deserts, after the commission appointed to exam ine into county frauds shall Inyo made their report, will probably Sod their way to the Penitentiary. We might go into particulars of proof, but tho in stances aic too numcrons and too well known to require it. As an example’ of l»OW tliSr«re d( . f • chain gang is bcsl, but under the cjr- cumstanccSyinasAiuch as South Carolina, as one may say, is before tho eyes of the whole world, and the Northern States in particular, for clomcnpy and good be havior in general, we will give our voice Jbr the chain gang first. If that does not work, we can plant tho whipping post and try the lash. Another evil which the people look to the Legislature to abate is the Trial Justice nuisance, which institution, as it now stands, is only an expensive farce. This obnoxious excrescence is alsu of lludieal origi:i,and only until quite recent ly did wc find any but (he most pestiferous carpet-baggers, negroes and seallawags filling the office. This nuisance above all should be abated. If it is nocoss.-ry to have town peace officers, or Ju.-tices of the Peace, as wo suppos# it^^oget h- er with a County Judg(, let tlT? elected by the people, and then we wiF be sure to get the best men—men worthy and capable of tilling the office. The usury law, the fence law and oth or matters will be treated of iu a future issue. RULES OP THEBBruOCIir At a meeting of s ha r ART¥.

There are four different kinds of ba bies, There is a big baby, the little baby, the white baby, and the poodle dog. and there is a baby elephaut. Most of these babies arc bora in bearding house, ’oept the baby elephant I think he was born on a railroad, ’cause he alius carries his trunk with him. A white baby is pootier nor a ele phant baby, but he can't eat so much hay. All the babies what I have ever seen were born very young, ’specially .m gas babies, and they can t'nonc of them talk the United States language. My father had—I ^un*au my mother had a baby once. It was not an ele phant baby ; it was a little white baby ; it corned one day when their was uo- body home ; ic was a funn) looking tcl- !ow, just lika a lobster* I asked my father was it a boy or a git], and ho say lie don’t know whether ho was a lather or a mother. The little baby has got two legs, just like a monkey. II is name is Marian. felic djn’t look like my father nor my mother, but he looks just like my Uncle Tom, ’cause the little baby ain’t no hair on his head* got HITII CAROLINA, KJ AIKKN COUNTY, Mary C.

The euthe umcliit.cry of uar county governuieuiS as it now stands was a lir.d iea 1 . creation and faulty in the extreme, and so intended by As framers that fraud and extoriiqus might be practiced under it with impunity. Money was to he raised lor needy dependants uudconupl necessities, and what cared the leaders h<>w it was raised so tnat it came cut ol their enemies, the taxpaying citizens ? Some eroucously suppose that cur county ^overuincats were liamed after the uMuticr of those of ISow York. This is an error.

Andtit was the same with the commissioners of the poor, who received no pay for their services.
