to net as Secretary. Mr. I'.enot
nominated .las. (J. Klugh, Ksq., and
there being no other nominations, Mr.
Klugh was elected by acclamation.
The President ami Secretary were
directed to inform the Governor
- that Mr. Klugh was unanimously recommended
for the appointment. This
will he quite sufficient to secure Mr.
Klugh's appointment, and the selection
is a most admirable one. The appointee
is a young man of business habits, fine
ability, nud a high order of l<>gal talent,
lie will fill the office with satisfaction
to the Bar and the public, and will do
himself great credit. A pleasant feature
of Mr. Klugh's appointment is that
though friends of Mr. ?<f. 1'. DeBrubl
and Mr. .7. S. Perrm, had suggested
their names for the office, and hail l>egun
a canvass in their behalf, not a particle
of bitter or unkind fcelling was engendered.

that Mr. Klugh had a majority of the

The Abbeville jail is not being guarded
by a force of militia. When the report
was first known that an attempt would
f bo made to rescue Ferguson, tlie Sheriff!
called on the oflicer commanding the I
Abbeville Hides for a guard for the jail,
which was furnished every night for a
week or more. This >ruard lias not receivfld
any pay, ami didn't expect any.
When the (bounty Commissioners hii- |
thori/.od the Sheriff to hire k guard the
inilitia was withdrawn, and has not been
on guard since. The militia has not
been the cause of tho expenditure of a
single cent of public money.?Abbeville
