NENoEIAL.

To the honorable Sen1te and Rouse Of RepSeaeata-
tires of South Carolina:
Your memoralists, citizens OF Anderson Coun-
ty, IN meeting assembled at Anderson c. H., nc
cording to public notice by the County Commis-
sioners, for the purpose oil organizing the Geatre-
Vile Township would respectfully bring to your
notice the following difficulties in regard to work
ing the public highways as at present provided in
Act No. II. We, in the main, agree with our fell
low-citizens in Township No. ! in their memorial
TO your honorable body On the same subject, but
in addition would most respectfully suggest that,
according to the old law oil male citizens between
the ages of l6 and SO were required to work on
the public roads, without any respect to color or
amount of property, under which system the
roads were kept in good repair without apparent
burden to any oae. But under the present law.
the roads are kept up By IN onerous tax upon
property holders of 1s cents on e'ery hundred
dollars worth Of property, Discrimination which,
in point of justice, would seem very well, provided
only those who helped to keep up the roads were
allowed to use them. In poor and sparsely settled
Townships the present law will be burdensome in
the extreme. The non-taxpayers themselves are
not expecting or desiring such DISCRIMINATION in
their favor All classes are more or less interest
I'd in public roads and highways. If parties own
no vehicles of their own, they use chose of others
in transporting their produce to market and their
supplies back again. There is NO good citizen
who would not cheerfuly and willingly, at eis-
ure season of the year, contribute few days To-
Dor to repairing the highways OF public roads.
We would also respectfully bring to your notice
the tact that the law is not sufficiently clear in
discriminating between the respective jurisdic-
tions of incorporated Towns aud Townships For
instance, the people in the Town of Anderson
have already been assessed and paid read and
street tax for the year 1862 Now, if it should
be inferred that they are at the same time liable
to Township tax, the result would be double taxa
tion-the incorporation being divided and consti-
tuting two Townships, to wit, the Centre1ille and
varennes We would further suggest that by Se-
ference to Section 46h of the Act it is expressly
proyided that this assessment shall be u.ade annu-
ally on or before the 18th of January, and it
would seem exceedingly doubtful as to whether
the Selectmen are authorized to assess tax dn-
ring the present year, the time specified having
nassed. If this view should be sustained, the
old law being abolished of course we would De
without means to keep up the public highways for
the year 1859.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Z, THE GRAND !, ., IuRY OF ocoNEE.

,tMe have resd, with great dear Of interest, the
uresentmena,of the Grand Jury of 0conee county,
q The recent terrn Of Court, and without pretend
iagtojudge of-aheperits Of local questions dis
enssed, cannot refrain from, expressing decided
appreciation for their thorough, bold and vigorous
styie IN presenting to the notice of his Honor such
matters as they deeme expedient. There is no
sfort t5 lavish praise simply because the opportu-
nity IL offered, and their condemnation of others
is expressed tersely and forcbly, without giving
way 10 hnseenly language. In a word, they dis
charged the duties imposed upon: them BY law
stwithe1t fear, favor or affection" The example
Is worthy of emulation, and as we are beginning
rev era in ehistory of our State, amid many diff
culties end trials, we trust there will always be
Sonnd n disposition to thoroughly yindicate the
law and the people, and that these grand inquests
will not merely seek to discover whom they may
praise, but administer blame wherever deserved.
In concluding their presentment, the grand jury
eoneratnlstes "the people of Oconee in having for
thsir judicial officer the distinguished statesman
orniiurist who presides in the Eighth Judicial Cir
stiit;and who hns shown by his prompt dispatch
orBusiaess, and his strict but courteous enforce
naeitof the rules 6r the Court that he is therisht
man Id the right place that the mantle so honor
sbiy worn by Harper, o'Neall, andthe other great
Jadgsa Of South Carolina, has fallen upon worthy
shoulders" they also take occasion to express
tissr opinion ths. the people of this county will
have no room to regret the choice which they have
made for the ofics Of Solicitor, and that the State
will suffer no detrment while the enforcement Of
her laws is.entrusted to his care"
AS already intimated, this compliment to Judge
oar and Solicitor PERRY emanates from source
not likely to bestow fusome fattsry, and is there's
fore the more gratifying to its recipients, we cal-
not doubt. 4. ,j y t,

This ihportant subject was presented to our

pose of organizing the "Abbeville Agricultural
Society,"" the following resolution was unanimous

.TaurH, nj Is S MIGHTY AND WILL PREVAIL"

There is no more forcibls illustration of this old
adsge than Is contained in the present attitude OF
Northern newspapers ,owards the people Of the
South. "A httle while ago, and we were oil des-
pcraioes aad Williams, bound by terrible oaths,
and revelling in;the blood of the saintly martyrs
Of Radicalism. Every man, woman and child In
the South, outside Of the strooly loil," belonged
to or assisted the Ku Klux in their horrible deeds
Nep, as many Of them express it, 'tsince Grant is
electad,I' The Southern men and women are rs
sucking doves given to think Of peace and kindli-
ness to their Northern brethren, and exhibiting sill
thetraits they 50 much admire in o people. lu-
deed, We are very proper persons, and the beauti-
full attractiyeness Of lands in this section, at a
mere soag, begins 10 loom up before their bewil-
dered gaze. Truly, the revolution in public SEN
t;msnt at the North is alarming, when we consider
thas the means of obtaining information is precise
" fe-day what was employed before the election
in November last. An. individual nervously in
elined might imagine that the whole Yankee ma
tiot,. was engaged in q conspiracy TO obtain the
vast possessious Of the hated rebels, and has re-
aortcd to these means to depreciate the price and
blight the prospectstemporariyo of the real owners
Of the soil.
But we started 10 invite the attention of our
yeaders to some extracts from Northern journals,
which will be found upon our fourth page to-day.
Tho Boston Pest has always maintained friendly
relations to the South and battled manfuly against
the usurpations and tyranny of Congress, and
hence expressions from that quarter of cheering
character are not surprising The other extract
is from . Radical sheet, the organ of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, and by no means inclined
to love the 'wayward sisters too much. Its sem
timents and declarations entirely just dnd fair,
and viii do much towards enkindng the truth
among the blinded partizans Of its creed 1t is
highly gratifying that light is breaking upon their
minds, and that they are.wiling to admit there is
virtue, responsibility and honor among the South
ern people, and that life and property ere secure
in our midst This. bare admission will bring
thousands upon thousands of capital into this Sec
tion, frightened away hitherto. by the enormous
falsehoods so .industriously circulated to in
Jury. For, in all candor, We must declare that
there is the identical peace and security visible
now in the South, so far as our knowledge extends
ma existed last summer The people have not
changed their sentiments or political creed, and

of interlopers and renegades. The excitement in
oidentto political campaign engendered bitter
feelings, which have passed away, and in few in
stances there were outrages and murders growing
out;of politics. But the Southern people are now,
and always have been, kind and civil to: decent
strangers, who attend to their own business and
refrain from meddling with their neighbors.
