We hare eudonrorod to fathom the mya- teriea of the County Commimioners, and trust that onr labors bare not been entirely in vain, notwithstanding the difficulties mid obstructions interposed by the Comroission' ACiKXTH FOB THE DEMOCRAT L. S. RAGSDALE, JAMES ALLEN, TimmoasTilt*, S. C. Florence, S. C Tbe Presentment. We publish in full to-day tho Presentment of the Grand Jury, for the June Term of our Court. Wo ash the attentioa of the Frets throughout tho State, to it. We regard this as a most important public document. It is in truth, the presentment of a colored Grand Jury, as the panel was com posed of twelve colored and four white persons. This u/vinimrsu* presentment, is unsparing in ita denunciations of villainy and exposes the peculations and thefts ofthe County Com missioners, in plain and unmistakable lan guage. It shows that the colored man, when withdrawn from tho infamous white influ ence to which he has been subjected, is not the countensneer of rascality nor the friend of raacals. It inspires hope for the future and encourages the expectation, that ere long, the administration of government wiil past into the hands of those who arc both morally and mentally competent. It Indicates that the rule of mean white men is drawing to a close. It writes upon the walls of their politi cal castles, the prophetic word TeKEL— *• Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wavting." Darlington owes a debt of gratitude to those colored men, who, remembering the sanctity of their oaths aad impressed with the important and honorable duties imposed upon them, have not been afraid to "'quit the mscltes like men," and to ex pose to the people the corruptions of their servants. Let the colored people read the present ment carefully, let thsm consider tho expo sures therein made and let them resolve to msko honesty one of the pre-requisites for office in the future. Citizens—white and colored—the day dawns; get up; prepare for work—the glori ous work of redeeming your State from robbers and foreign adventurers. The Augean stables must be clcmsed. A color ed Grand Jury of “old Darlington," has commenced tbe glorious work of turning the waters for their cleansing. Let the honest men of all creeds and colors stand upon the platform which the Grand Jury has erected, and Dear Old South Carolina—our much loved but abused mother— will soon be res cued from the spoiler and once more bless her children with a smile. Fcarftil. The appatent case with which Wi"», C ;< ie g and jurors arc inpmperly approached aud influenced, is much more pregnant with dan ger than the corruptioa %gd vices which ru^ n high places, xi perjurw witnesses and bribed jurors, are to go Unpunished, theu the pretended administration 0 f justice is a mockery: and tbe good, t jj e honest and tbe virtuous, sr# tbe helpless of the bad, the dishonest and the libertine. The hopes of a country are dependent up on the honesty of those whose duty it is to administer the laws. When jurors can be corrupted and witnesses purchased to com mit perjury, justice is impoteut to help—her arms are paralised and the people, are un- protected both in person awl in property. There is an alarming conviction now rest ing on the public mind, that both of these enormous crimes hav; been committed dur ing the present te .u of the Court. Events have transpi ed which justify this conviction The pe pie are alarmed and on ail sides we bear tbe fearful question—“what is the use nf stekinr justice now?” This Uvn/Lwvi a fright ful staie of things. So long as the lav is hon estly idiuinistered and justice is impartially done the people will be willing to p to law and justice for redress: hut just as sure as bihry and corruption occupy the witness’ Beand and cuter the jury box, just so sure wili the people right their own wrongs, protect their own propertyand administer rough jus tice in their cirn way and at their own pleas ure. It is the i:\peritiue duty of every good citi- *en, to pr- be this matter : and if he can fix upon any men tbe guilt of having bribed, or attempted to bribe, either witness or juror, report it. at once to tiie State's Solicitor, that an investigation may be had. lie who knows of such efforts having fccea nude and does ix.t expose the fact, it not worthy of citicen- st.ip ] he is 'it guilty at the corrupter hiniwtf. Let every one who has 'he e-tod ofthe country at heart, eonstitu ' himself a detect- lit the Court or Sessions Darlington County, Junk Term, 1870. 7V> the lion, J. M Rutland, Presiding Judge. Tbe Grand Jury at the present term of the Court, in concluding their duties, beg leave to submit the following PKE3E.VTMENT: The members of the jury, coming from different sections of the County, take great pleasure in bearing testimony to the improved moral state of society, as is evidenced by the marked decrease of business on tho Sessions side ofthe Court; and that too, in the face ofthe very free use made by his Excellen cy tbe Governor ofthe pardoning power. Tho Grand Jury take pleasure also, in congratulating the people upon the favora* ble proapccts of the growing crops, which now promise an abundant harvest and a re alisation of the hope, that there will soon be an abundance of the necessaries of life in the land. We have, in the discharge of our duty, visit, ed the jail, which we find is not kept as clean as it should be. Two blinds to the jailor’s room are broken, tho “feed holes” and doors need repair; the prisoners are without blan kets; the well is unfit for use and the kitch en is in a most fi!thycondition,coHstitutingin our opinion, a nuisance. The prisoners are al lowed to indulge iuloud singing, obscene and profane language and other noisy demonstra tions. We think that immediate steps should be taken to put a stop to this disturbance of the qniet of the village. We have visited the Poor House by a com mittee and have to report: That we find twenty inmates at this so-called asylum for the destitute and helpless. The inmates are allowed corn and meat, the coru has to be carried by them cue aud a half miles to mill, or if ther are unable to do so, which is the case with many, they have to pay for having it aent with a portion of the corn itself.— The inmates are almost naked aud have a few worthless blankets. Many of these poor peo ple are in a most horrible condition—in one case maggots were actually crawling from tbe feet of one who was frost bitten last winter. Tbe house itself is kept in an ex tremely filthy condition, tbe stench is ahnoat unendurable. There is no medical attention or medicines furnished, and the poor have to dispose of their scanty allowances to sup ply themselves when sick. We consider tho the Poor House of this County a disgrace to humanity and a reflection upon the civilisa tion ofthe age. We recommend that this institution, established and pretended to be maintained at a heavy expense to the Coun ty. be dispeused with and that the County Commissioners be held to a strict legal re sponsibility, as well for the money squandered by them in its so-called maintainance, as for their culpable neglect of duty. The commit tee found a woman of notoriously bad char acter a resident of the Poor House. We found the office of the Clerk of tbe Court kept in an orderly and business like manner. The former Clerk has not indexed many of the books of record, judgments Ac., which be should be required to do imme diately for the public convenience. Tbe sheriff’s office seems to be well kept, and the records appear to be carefully index ed and filed. We regret that the Court is still compelled to hold its sessions in the uncomfortable building to which it now siu. The jury hope, however, that their successors, in discharging the responsible duties of Grand Juror#, will soon have the pleasure of con gratulating your Honor and the people ofthe county, upon the completion nf a Court House fttlly worthy of those who are so heavily burdened with taxation, as richly to deserve public buildings of no mean or ordi nary character. We have used every means in onr power to obtain information respecting the condi tion of the roads and bridges ofthe County, aud from information, coupled with facts within our own knowledge, we feel it our du ty to express the opiuiou, that the changes made in the road law, have operated most in juriously in this county at least. We are not prepared to determine whether this is owing to the lameness of the law, or the in- competency of those who are p. id to carry it into execution. Wc beg leave to report “Williamson’s Bridge” over Black Creek and tbe‘ Three Bridges” over Swift Creek; Muse's Bridge” over Black Creek, the Bridge across Sparrow Swamp, near Tim- monsvillc, the Bridge over High Hill Creek, near the Jane Cooper place, Lide’s Bridge, over Black Creek, and DuBose’s Bridge over Lynch's Creek, ns iu bad condition and many of them unsafe. : “Hood's Bridge” and the “Three Bridges,” I opportunity to express their high apprecta- ! 11 seems, were let out verbally by the Couu- | ii u n of the earnestness, zeal and impartiality 1 ty Commissioners to J. A. Smith, one of j displayed by your Honor, in the discharge their number, for re-building, as reported ‘ of the arduous duties devolved upon you by by the Commissionrrs iu their book. For j your high and responsible office. ers and their Clerk, J. G. Gatlin, to a fair, of a township unanimously elect a set of gen- free and full investigation of their public acts, by the Grand Inquest of the County, charged specially with this, as one of their most important duties. Not only have such difficulties and obstructions been interposed, but we have been treated with rudeness, con tempt aud insolence by this body of men• entrusted with the expenditure of the peo ple,s money, for merely desiring, as public servants, ordered to inquire, to know how they have used the taxes wrung from an im poverished people. The books are perfectly incomprehensible. We have baen able to satisfy ourselves that the public monev has been squandered, to enrich pets and favor ites, and to fill their own pockets and the pockets of their creatures. The Commis sioners seem to have an immense amount of work to do, necessitating almost daily meet ings, at a charge of three dollars each, per day, and three dollars a day for the invalua ble services of their very competent (?) and capable (?) Clerk, besides mileage at the rate of 5 cents a mile, coming and raturning. We find that during the last term of the Court, the Commissioners have required the people to pay at these rates, for the high privilege of seeing their Commissioners daily for two weeks, and the Chairman adds one dollar aud ten cents daily for mileage. We learn that bridges have been built on verba! contracts by parties unknown, and for sums not stated —the Chairman; Johnathan Wright, Esq , charges and receives per diem and mileage, for having kiudly superintended the work contracted to be done. They have paid enormous fees to physicians and lawyert, and merchants have, upon numerous demands, been made glad by public moneys. We find that J. A. Smith, one of the Commissioners, aud others, receive large sums for supplying rations, clothing &c, for the poor—not the poor in the Poor House. We find that jurors and witnesses—who gave their time to the public service—have been refused payment, and yet, the Clerk seems to have managed to possess himself with a sufficient amount in such tickets to substitute about four hun dred and fifty dollars worth of them iu set tlement with the Treasurer, as cash for money collected iu green-backs, for licenses. We find numerous just and righteous de mands unpaid and checks dishonored, while the Commissioners themselves, are regularly paid upon unusual, uujust aud unreasonable demands. We have not been able to ascer tain how much the Commissioners have re ceive, how much they have paid out or how much they owe. The conduct of the Com missioners impose upon us the duty of re commending instant action on the part of the Court, to hare their conduct and actions strictly examined : to allow them longer li cense, is, in our opinion, ruinous to the coun ty. We do find enough, to satisfy us that John G. Gatlin, the Clerk of the Board, is a defaulter, but he has positively refused to appear before us and explain, if he could, the deficit iu his aecouat. His conduct lus been on a par with that of his employers, the Commissiouers. We hove not been able to get much information iu reference to the eoutract for building the Court House. Mat ters in reference thereto have been studious ly withheld from us ; but we have no desire to say what our opinion, based on what infor mation we have obtained, is, as the whole matter is to be legally investigated. We feel iu duty bound, however, to report that wc have seen a contract, betweeu Samuel Marco, Manuel Marco aud J. A. Smith, bearing even date with the bond executed by the reputed contractors, by which they agree to share equally the profits, if any, derived from the building of the Court House, and defray in equal proport ions any losses which might be sustained. This contract is wit nessed by M. Welsh aad was in his poses- sion We can obtain uo information as to the amount of taxes collected for school pur poses, nor how such amount has been ex pended. Wc recommend that some steps be immediately taken to secure an account from the proper officials in this matter. We report- the taxes as burdensome and op pressive, far exceeding iu our opinion, the necessities of omically aud honestly administered. We recommend the immediate erection of a substantial fence around the jail. Iu conclusion, the Grand Jurors in no spirit of idle compliment, avail themselves of this tlemen, every way competent aul responsi ble to the task, as Trustees of tic common school, gives the Commissioner tins legal right (?) to appoint such as may mit him, then the people have lost their chsicc ; aud the ballot box avails nothing for Item with such men as Mr. Snetlcr aud his ompeers We know that Governor Scott appoints Justices of tho Peace, in direct viohtion of the so-called censtitution of this Stve ; and we believe the School Commissioner of Dar lington County has imbibed deeply nni free ly at the same fountain head 1 We also notice that one of the citipns of Lydia School District, Mr. W. A. Bruison. by the same wonderful phenomenoi, is made a Trustee of'Sharman’ Townshp.— However, were it not for the true primiple of the system, this would make no maeria! difference with the people of Lydia, or ‘Sicr- man,’ as they do not expect to bo much lem efitted by tho Constitutional School Fun!— capitation tax—as no teacher has, so fai as wo have been able to ascertain, received me cent of said fund iu either school district.— If the present rising generation are notto be benelitted by this accumulated school f'unf. then we would ask. why collect it out of «u impoverished people already onerously taxet? If the Managers have failed to make ther return of this election to the Commissioner, in accordance with his Writ of Election, i is not the fault of the voters; bntofihe mana gers. We would suggest, that the Gom missioncr appoint gentlemen suited to the work, so th it he may avoid such egregious blindness in the future discharge of his duty. In conclusion.

SIRECI-AJL HXTOTIOES. The “Pain Killkii.” may justly be styled the great, medicine of the wojld, for there is no re gion ofthe globe into which it has not found its way, and been largely used and highly prized. Morevcr, there is no clime to which it has not proved to be well adapted for the cure of a con- siderab e variety of diseases; it is a speedy and safe remedy for burns, scalds, cuts, bruises, wounds and various other injuries, as well as for dysetery, diarrhoea and bowel complaints gener ally, it is admirably suited for every race of men on the face of the globe It is a very signifi-unt fact that notwithstaris ing the long period of yearsthat the Pam Killer has been before the world, it has never lost one whit of its'popularity, but cn the contrary, the call for it has steadily increased from its first dis covery, and at no previous true has the demand for it been 00 great, or thequantity made been so large, as it is to-day.
