While the proceed logs of the Demo*
cratio Executive Committee of the city
of Charleston are of a.purely local type
and local interest, they ore nevertheless
suggestive of a reason why the Demo
cratic party of Barnwell, on the eve of
n Presidential campaign, should lose no
time in roorganiting for tlio struggle;
not that there is any lack of unanimity
or sign of disintegration, but the party
needs a series of regulations for the gov
ernment of clubs in their external rda-
tiotis with the party and the Conventions
winch'represent It. As matters at present
stand there is a very considerable mis
tiness ic the mind of the avci age Demo
crat as to the principle which sets in
motion the internal machinery of his
party ; and he has on indefinite percep«
tion that party loyalty could lie much
more effectively utiliied if its applica
tion to a spccifio end wore conducted on
more thoroughly recognized and appre-
cinted plans.
It is useless to instruct the intelli
gent Democrat that enrolled member*
ship in a political body involves the per
formance of certain duties, both on the
part of the individual and the bodies by
which Jibe party works, unless those du
ties are te.-y clearly defined and poiuted
out; and tlu' I’ght to. define the nature
of such duties inheres iu a convention
of the people rt,'one, and any effort to
impose duties or m'suitie powers not des
ignated by such con vcirtion is a usurpa
tion that sliould fco met by ptornpt. re
buke.

Upon the suggestion of youx IIotiQr’a
predeoeaaor. JuUge J. U. ttudaon, tbia
body appointed a number of their
members to make a more thorough
examination Into Lha general affairs of
the County, than It would bavo been
f iossible for the Jury to do io.tbcir
Iralted attendance upon the Court,
and we the Grand Jury flud upon the
evidence of this committee the follow

The bonds of tho different officials

pupils attending free schools; 337
teachers pay certificates were approv
ed by the School Commissioner, ag
gregating in amount v $9,541 60, and
8116 50 were drawn from the school
fund for rents.
It is with pleasure your Grand
Jury reports that this office is admir
ably managed by the present School
Commissioner, and that no'Tertlllcate*
have been approved In excess of the
amounts apportioned to each school*
district. We would recommend that
stifle that voice for the purpose ot ad

for tho guidance of the party in the en

persistently inculcated upon the minds
of tho ^Democracy, that neither Con von-

County CommlesIoner'J. C. McMillan
and Trial Justice T. S.Dunbar. Trial
Justice F. J. Cassidy, who baa lately
died, had no bond on file at all. We
find but two bonds Hied by Constables,
those of T. 8. Myers and L. W. Mo-
Lemoro and they were insufficient.
The Probate Judge’s office was
thoroughly examined, and we express
our gratification at the nice and heat
manner in which the books and records
of thU office are kept. -
Wo are pained to say that tbjs nice
state of affairs does not exist In the
office of tho County Commissioners,
one of the most responsible and im
portant dfflees in the County. The
books and papers in this c flioe have
been badly kept, and it Indeed would
be a matter of some time and a great
deal of labor to straighten things here.
While It Is far from this Grand Jury
to report Or suspect any criminality
on the part of the Commissioners, the
fact remains that much valuable in
formation and many important statis
tics In regard to County finances,
which should be collected In thla-offlce,
are a matter of guesswork and can
only bo obtained by means of stubs
from check-book, etc. Tho Board
though reports that they have prompt
ly paid all bills contracted and passed
by them for the fiscal year 1877 and 78,
and that they granted, during the
years 1878 and 79, ten licenses to
retail spirituous liquors, yielding a
reyenue to the County of 8500.
They also state that me arhddRt" 6f

that the first installment of taxes be

If tho Democratic party is to gain a

There Is work of some sort in the
world far every man who really wants
to work. If you cannot do one thing,
do another, and whatsoever you do,
do your best; patient, faithful labor
is sure of lu reward In the end. Or If
you can actually find nothing to do,
set yourself earnestly to acquire some
art or profession which may yield you
a living. The stories of the beginnings
of men of whom the world has beard,
ore many of them records of perse
verance In the face of difficulties.—
