Meeting In Edgefeld.

On Wednesday last, after the election was de-
clnred, meeting Of the Managers OF Elections for
Edgcfeld District was had. On motion of Mr..
f. W. Seibels Mr.. Diomed Hollingsworth was
called to the Chair.
Mr. Sebels then addressed the meeting with
few pointed remarks. and proposed the follow
ing preamble and resolutions. which were ununi-
mously adopted:
Whereas, The Managers Of Elections find il
onerous and expensive in discharging the duty
assigned to them, and believing that some COM
pensati, should be allowed an incentive to 4
faithful discharge of duty--past experience hay
ing proved that ncompetenccy and neglect of
managers in several instances has caused elections
to be contested and thereby run the State to need
less expense. And whereas, we believe that If
some compensation were allowed, willing and
competent persons will be found to conduct the
elections and guard the purity of the ballot box

Resolped, That n Committee of three he nppon-
ted by the Chair to memorabilia the Legislature
on the subject-asking that Managers of Elections
be exempt from patrol and militia duty. and that
they open the poles but one day and count the
votes at their respective precincts
Whereupou Messrs. L. W. Seibels, Thomas
Grafton and Patrick Coleman, were appointed by
the Chair.
Resolved, That we respectfully invite the Man

THE EDGEF1ELD MEETING.

II, in our comment upon District matters, we
ourpolice affairs the fact that the members of the
several Boards were not remuneratei for their
services, we suspect the assertion would not have
been wide of the mark Because no compensation
is provided, the true citizen will not refuse to per.
form his share of public duty but the absence of
all material inducements certainly must interfere
charge of that duty. No other result can be ex:
pected, while ''human nature is human nature. -
We must think, therefore, that the wisest policy
requires that there Boards receive some sort Of
compensation for their services Give them half
the annual assessments, and, we'll take wager
on it, they will make the other half answer the
ends of the public good to all intents and purposes
That however, is clearly out Of the question:
In view of the growing Importance of some sort Of
legislation on the subject, Bill was introduced
at the last session to exempt these Boards from
militia and patrol duty, and it was lost by small
majority owing the over effort Of the cocked-hat
few whose Importance has grown out of the ''in-
tegrity" of the fierce militia. The measure has
again been proposed at meeting of the Mana
gers of Election for Edgefeld District, and will
again be presented, we earnestly hope successful
~, to the attention of the Legislature.
The proceedings Of the Edgefld meeting are in
another column.

culated to play havoc with the public money
Let the people take n more general interest IN
these matters; they are surely of vital concern to
them. Let the management of our police affairs
he carefully scrutinized, and thus let us see to it
that the burdens of taxation be diminished instead
of increased, and at best that the public funds be
paid out properly, to the best advantage, and for
the general good.
Having said so much for the Poor Commission
ers, We confess that our pen has point for the
performances of several other Boards. But we
cannot now spare room.
On referring to the Presentment of the Grand
Jury, ut the recent term, we find nothing Of much
interest. On the gronnd that ''public property
should not be made liable to taxation to defray
corporation expenses" the Jury presented the
Town Council for having taxed the Courthouse
and Jail to the amount of Ss2, in 1855, and S6t
in 1856. The Report of the Commissioners OF
Roads contained an item which appeared to be the
cost of Rule served upon them for certain de-
linquency and the Jury laid down the doctrine
that oeach Commissioner should be made liable
for expenses incurred on account of his netlclencJ
or neglect of duty, and that such costs should no
| be paid out Of the funds of the Board" These
two items only nre worthy of mention.
