AK OPE* LETTER FROM THE FOREXA?? OF GBAND JURY. B?ilor of the Abbeville Medium : Ia reply to your comments on- our hat.presentment, we the Grand Jury ' have th:? to say : * \ You state that much of the present? ment is based on a misapprehension - of the law. This is the truth, though ^you must have unintentionally stated it, as you say a little further on, that the law is not so abstruse. Now what we recommended, is that the laws be so amended, and that future laws be so constructed that they will be not only apprehensible bat comprehensi? ble to ah men. You state that the Grand Jury did not point ont the objectionable laws, but if the law relating to married wo men'sTights is meant, there'can be ?o doubt about it now, since the Su? preme Court has announced its de? cision. - hi our opinion the decision: of that \ Court has only stirred the mud, and made what was shady before, as black Egyptian* darkness. If that, is the ?ight that is to guide us, we would prefer to be befogged in perpetual j darkness, and that was the very rea? son why we wanted wiser and prac? tical men to throw the mantle of com? mon sense and plain English around the law, was to protect us from this expensive and misty light, and to shield os firom the overshadowing -shroud cf the Courts. If all the other . points involved in that law are solved, .as those already decided, it should ?and would be denominated the seven iraysterics of the age, as no -other . *seven enigmas could be found en? shrouded with so much obscurity and ^Uncertainty: ; We would recommend after you iwtve digested the married worca&V law that yon masticate., the -p'riority en law^. and-after 'ucidating and ? disposing of the legal leatures of tliat ?aw, and after arranging and arraying the simplicity of ifs meaning and con? struction, turn to the laws bearing on mortgages, aud explain their beautiful ramification and the chaste schemes . of justice and equity therein conceal? ed from the vision of common people. The homestead law is another mon -Jtmeixt of the ii reconcilable inconsist? encies of mingled mercy and justice, that needs to be better explained and understood, and it is worthy of your consideration and spare light. The laws in regard to petit larceny cases were thought to put all such cases under the jurisdiction of trial justices until lately, when it was discovered such was not the case. They 6eem to Ixave been misunderstood and interpreted by lawyers and judges until looked Into by some crafty and shrewd law- . yet- bf more than ordinary scrutiny ?nd perception. Tbs laws in relation to settling up of estates have-been so long misun? derstood and misinterpreted that the errors have become the common law " of the land, and we are informed that to correct the past unlawful decisions would be the ruin of the country, so great would be the confusion. Why ail this dissension-and con? troversy among our wisest and most learned lawyers? Why do the most expert Judges of the law differ in their decisions unless something is wrong in the laws ? Ask the most experienced and judicious lawyers what yo? are to do to comply with these laws, and their advice will be as different as polar snow is fro? tropical saud. And yet we are told the law is not abstruse. Securities pronounced by one Iaw3-er perfectly good, wiri be rendered utterly worth? less by another lawyer in a court of justice, and yet we must believe all ibis ix plain and right, and that we must uphold and sustain thc laws that either. make us thieves or allow thieves to ruin ns. We are told that it is wrong to bring such laws into reoi*tempt Whither are we drifting ? | Where will we ?and ? Echo answers j whither! where ! Shall wc save thc | laws or eave the people? Shall we j uphold the laws as millstones about j our necks while we bravely sink ? As to the criminality of forgery, where no other damage is meant or done, except the amount to be gained j or lost by the forgery, in our opinion ! that amount should govern thc de? gree of punishment, and bears no similitude to murder, though there arc different degrees of criminality in manslaughter as well as other matters, so wc conclude the simile is far fetch? ed and had as well been left out. You are entire?3T mistaken in think? ing larceny from the fields and of live stock when committed hy hungry people is any more hoinous or re prehensile than stealing out of the house or barn. The latter is the most dangerous boll; to th? person robbed aud to tho thief. While we can s*;e no more merit of leniency in the (?ne than in the other, we believe ai! of fenders should be punished in mercy 'and in reason, so as to prevent crime without crushing poor suffer? ing humanity that is tempted hy tlie pangs of hunger and necessity to do wrotrfif. We should look well into the woes that induce our poor peo? ple to commit crime, in trying to relieve themselves and their suffer? ing families before we wreak ven? geance oh tUL-iu, while huge swindles are condoned by law and justifie members of the press. Let us to the beams in our own eyes fore we remove the motes fron eyes of the lowly. Let us not s out gnats and swallow the came As to the law3 of other S and nations we are content tc them alone, unless they are b than ours, and then we might a them, j but we believe in home by home people for the special b fit of our homes. As to your hypothesis of..trjal tices holding Court on every t dayA andieading us to believe Jtf/wctaid rearmost necessary, fbi Governor to call out the m iii ti; gu?id each- prisoner, and to le^ special tax lo cover expenses, -perfectly preposterous and abs There is no.need of any such fshness. They could hold their Cc at about the same time, and the ; oners could be sent without a gi by?expresa at-less thanV-ialfJof cost now charged for such servi and the expenses of trials would be one-fourth of what it now C( and if prisoners were allowed work for some one that would bec responsible icu*.the costs and rea; able fines the cost? could be redu to #mo8t ^nothing, obi of coi the Gran?-Jury. cojiddnot J)? exp ed to go into details. .

Re?^Cjfully submitted, G. ?. DOUGLASS,' Foreman. A Kejo?nder. . Abbeville Medium. G.-A. Douglass, Esq., foreman the Grand Jury whose rem ark al presentment we published last wei has addressed us an explanatory co munication through the Press a Banner which we publish el3ewhei What he has to say is in good tempi "something very rare in articles- of controversial nature. Mr. Douglass assumes to speak ? the Grand Jury and while it wou afford us pleasure to aid them in the difficulties we shall not undertake, this brief editorial, to remove all th? misunderstanding of the law, but di ing the dull Summer, now upon u we may as inclination and time serv? have much more to say on the subjec We give them credit for a.-disps? tion to do for the-best but ho thjt^iiey^are 'at fault as to the pr rper remedies Believing that it is the patriot and christian duty of every citizt to uphold the laws of the land an treat the courts and their officei with respect, we shall say nothin impeaching the - integrity of Ah Grand Jury, but will teuderly .rnak ar few more c3)servat?ona as io: the mistakes. Mr: i Douglass -admks we wer right- iii supposing the [Grand J ur had reference to the Rush case c the decision relating to the rights c t?arf ied{ womeai: ?f sp,J in tfce'^ hil tory*of the"'State there was neve before such an arraignment of on Supreme. Court by a Grand Jury Heretofore it has been an unhear of th ing'for a Grand Jury to excor ate our highest tribunal in an; such objectional language. That par of the presentment should have beei stricken out by the Circuit Judg for the language was certainly i\ contempt of the Circuit and Supreme Courts. The presentment says The. laws "as interpreted by tilt courts, work hardship and injury bj prostrating aud destroying the credi of the people, by fostering and en couraging fraud and dishonesty and by furnishing a cloak and sfri?lt to tricksters and swindlers, &c, &c.J Justices Simpson and Mciver de cided the Rush case; They "inter pr?t ed" the law and here is the charge that by doing so they were ''foster ing and encouraging fraud and dis honesty and furnishing a cloak and shield to tricksters and swindlers.'' Thi? is indeed a grave charge. Jus tices Simpson and Mciver have lived in^thls State for years and their li ve? have been" blameless aird honorable. No one who knows them will believe that they would "stand in" with thieves and rascals. If taking advan? tage ot* their high position they have done such an evil no punishment is too great for them. Tiicy should be impeached and thrown out of theil places. It is a strange thing if they have been honest, good and learned men up to the Rush decision, should all at once turn out to be the veriest scoundrels unhung. Mr. Douglass speaks of the "over? shadowing shroud of the Courts." The Grand Jury, we infer, wants pro? tection from tho courts. How can wc do this without overthrowing them : Would not this be anarchy of the worst kind '? Still tisis is the only logical inference from what has been said. i The other laws referred to by Mr. Douglass are plain enough. If a will or mortgage is properly drawn there need be no trouble about the settle? ment of either. In such casca litiga j lion arises from the improper prepara : tion of such instruments bv persons j who are not acquainted with t!:^ law: I The countryman picks some old blank j and attempts to make it fit al! c.?.v\s j no matter how dissimilar they may bc. i A small fee is saved at the bejrinninj' j but endless litigation must come m j time. The lien and homestead laws haye been decided by thc Supreme j Court ar?d are easily understood No ; new cases are likely to arise under j them. ! As lo larceny and forgery, we in j dicated the distinctions which have j prevailed in all civilized communities '? since btw was known and society es I tablishod. The changes suggested j by the Grand Jury might d*> when our ! courts are trampled under foot and ! society disorganized. I The unique part of the communica? tion of Mr. Douglass comes in the proposition to send parties, sentenced to the penitentiary by Trial Justices, to Columbia by 'eoipress at iess than half of the cost now* charged.7 The agent at this place tells us that the express company will transport a corpse or a childV at double rates but will not take chi*ge of a prisoner or lunatic at any price. If they had to have extra guarda for the purpose it it is more than likely that the cost of transporting prisoners would be much increased* The only pointed recommendations made by the Grand Jury related to the appointment of a committee to su? pervise the legislature and the en? largement of the juiisd?ct.?u bf trial justices., The constitution provides for a codification of the laws every ten years. There is nothing in the recommendation of the Grand Jury unless it is their idea to have the work done oftener. Ia no' civilized coun? try has the "po wer to'impose a degrad? ing punishment like sentencing to the penitentiary ever been conferred upon a court not of record. It would be retrograding. . The laws are reasonably good, our courts are. above suspicion and we mus? look farther for the ?anse of the discontent which finds voice in this presentment. We are just recover? ing from the late conflict. ?Society is undergoing a chang? and-these strug? gles a?a?iist constituted authority nat? urally occur as such commotions sub? side. They border on the confusion of anarchy and while such deliveran? ces can ' barely bc tolerated- in the newspapers, they are deplorable when coming from, any part of the courts which should be conservators of thc peace and good order of'society. We repeat that we. believe the Grand Jury were animated by the best motives, but their presentment was extraordinary and unprecedented. About Cotton Manufacturing. The New York Financial Chronicle recently contained a statement that ought to be especially gratifying to every citizen of the South. According to the 'Chronicle's article on cotton, says the Columbia Register, the con? sumption of that staple by . the South? ern factories during nine months of the present cotton year has been 66,000 bales :n excess of the quantity so con? sumed daring the same period of last year, whilst it is also shown that North? ern spinners have not absorbed as much by 161.988 bales. The value of the raw material taken by the Southern factories, estimating, the 356,000 bales afc ?45 each, amounts-in round num? bers to sixteen million dollars; but that sum represents the benefits which accrued to those only who produced and handled it in .its raw condition. It is estimated that the manipulations which convert a pound of raw cotton into the manufactured product cause the latter to have double the value of the former, so that thc more than three iundrcd and fifty thousand bales, which at first represented a value of $16.0^0.-M&r had Lhat value Increased to ?32,000,000 hy- tie application of machinery and home labor. The additional sixteen million of dollars which will come into the Southern States has given employ? ment to skilled labor in factories in nearly every State, from the Ohio and the Potomac river to the Rio Grande, and has enabled stockholders to receive good dividends upon their investments. Georgia has been the chief gainer, but, nearly every Southern State has derived some benefit from the factories that have produced this striking change. ITEMS. The Kev. Charles E. Stowe, of Hart-, ford, Conn., son of Mrs. Harriet Beech? er Stowe, and nephew of Henry Ward Beecher, occupied the Plymouth pulpit last Sunday morning.

Washington's Headquarters at Val? ley Forge has been purchased by the Patriotic Order SODS of America and dedicated with appropriate ceremonies, to the nation. A train on the Southern Pacific Hail road was taken possession of by robbers in Texas, between San Antonio and Houston, and as the passengers were awakened they were robbed. Notice of an assessment of 40 per cent, has been served upon subscribers to the guarantee fund of the national drill at Washington to pay bills now in hand amounting to ?20,000. In a recent speech Governor Lee, of Virginia, said he had information which makes bim believe that the State debt | question will soon be definitely" and honorably settled.

There is to bc in the near future a terrible rivalry between Senator Sher? man and General Fairchild.

Every one should know the causes. .What are they ? The answer is easy and terribly plain: Our vicious personal habits; our careless and lawless; eating and chinking; the in? tense mental and physical strain arising from oui' mad race after money, position and. influence ; the fears and straggles of pov? erty ; the use of narcotics and stimulants; our fashion of taming day into night and night into day; and, briefly, our 5 desperate willingness to pay any price for an hour's pleasure or success. So we burn life's candle at both ends and ill the lunatic asylums and the graveyards. " The disease from which we is seated in the Nerves and in the organs of Digestion, Assim? ilation and Nutrition.
