TIE STATE coNsTABU1ARY.

The Grand Jury of Abbeville county, in their
presentment published in the Press of last week,
thus 6ttingly characerizes the actings aud doings
of the State constabulary, which is nuisance in
the eyes of honest people and grievous sore on
the body polite
AS a part of the history Of the times, and rs On
evil calling loudly for redress, on account of the
magnitude of the interest which it involves apd
aHects-being no other than the peace and good
order of the whole communiy-we feel it to be
our duty. under the solemn obligation of the
Grand Jurors oath, TO present to the povers that
be, the actings and doings of the State Consabu-
larry in this county. Not to go back on the many
acts of lawlessness which they have committed Of
which we, as individuals, have knowledge, it is
enough that we advert to the outrage which was
perpetrated by members of the Constabulary du-
ring the present week, and which came under our
observation in our organized capacity. On Mon
day of the present Term O citizen of this county,
who was under bond To- attend the Court, was,
without warrant or process Of law, siezed by a
member of the constabulary, and violently and
against remonstrance, forced into the municipal
prison of the Town. At this juncture nothing but
the most determined efforts on the part Of certain
influential persons of the Town and country pre-
vented the efusion of blood. warrant having

was brought before Magistrate; but, instead of
being committed to Jail, or bound over to answer
for his crime, by order of the Chief Constable he
was set at liberty, as being a member of the con-
stabulary force, and therefore above the law.
Such are the facts stated in the Magistrates en-
dorsement upon the warrant II the person Of
tile citizen-much more sacred in the eye of the
law than his property, events thus to be made
matter of sport and caprice on the part of body
of men, not in sympathy with the interests and
feelings of the community, not responsible las
they claim to be to the justly constituted author

servators of the public peace-as the county it.

the most solemn manner against these acts, and
in the name of the peace, order and well-beiDg Of
the community, to demand the removal of this
prolific cause of dscord and trouble.

INVOLUNTARY AID.

The Comptroller General Of the State has given
notice to Insurance agents Ia this and other places
that they are required to furnish little substan-
tial aid to support the Republican organs in Char
lesion and Columbia. The General agent of each
Insurance Company doing business in this State is
required to publish in one of those papers "the
annual statement of the company or companies
which he represents, together with copy OF his
own license, and list of the authorized sub
agents within this State, once every month until
the thirty-frst of March, 1870" In addition TO
this, sub-agents are required to publish copy OF
their license in one, of the newspapers designated
by the Comptroller General for the same length OF
time. This action is taken in accordance with an
act of tho Legislature. passed March 5th, 1869,
recurring every agent to publish his license sin
some newspaper, to be designated By the COMPTROLLER
General, having circulation in thecoanty in which
he (the agent) resides" Doubtless the section We
have Just quoted was carefully worded to meet the
case in point. It is true that only one of the news
papers named had an existence at that time. but it
is also true that the proprietors of the daily are
the same persons who were understood to be run
ming the weekly issue at that time. New, where-
fore the necessity for sub agents all over the State
to contribute unwilling support to the maintenance
of these Republican journals If the low had re-
quired the Comptroller General to designate news
papers having general circulation in their respec
tive counties, the case would be for different.
Not to be invidious in making comparisons, we
will venture to assert that the Anderson Intsllgen
Ger has larger circulation al. more than half
dozen offices each than either of these Republican
newspapers has within the entire bounds Of the
county This is probably true of nearly every
county in the State, where the Local newspaper is
compared to the Republican, daily or weekly. And
as to bona ide subscribers, there is no compari-
son at all. AS small piece of rascality, to ilch
the pockets of honest and worthy men, we have
never kaewn this combined action Of the Legisla-
ture and the Comptroller General to be e1celled.

Origin of tho VeIocipede.

While Frederick the Great was King of
Prussia, German matchmaker was CON
scripted into the army, and in one Of the
great battles in which he was engaged lost
both legs. On his recovery he returned
home, and being Of mechanical turn OF
mind, he conceived the idea of making a
pair of legs, with machinery inside, that by
winding it up like clock, would run itself
all the time, and propel him where he pleas
ed. Whether this is the origin of the We
locipede, or not, history does not inform us
but it is known that the matchmaker cheer
fully worked along, day after day, with his
idea. He hoped when he got the artificial
legs all completed, to be able to move from
place to place without assistance. At
length, after months of weary work, Ire
succeeded in getting them finished, and one
bright morning, in the presence of his neigh
bors, he proposed to try his new plan of To-
comotion. The news of the invention hay
ing spread throughout the neighborhood,
great many people gathered to see the new
discovery. After satisfying himself that
everything was right, he strapped on the
wonderful legs. They were then wound
up and he assayed to walk.
At first, he moved slowly, but as he NOV
ed along his gait became more rapid. From
a walk he began to trot, still the gait in
creased; from trot he began to ruu-sti!l
his gait kept increasing. The matchmaker
became alarmed his coat tails stuck out,
his hair stood on end-still his speed in-
creased. He called in vain to the bystaud-
ers to catch him, but it was impossible, they
were soon left far behind. On he went
he attempted to grasp whatever came near
him, but it was no use, he could not catch
anything the speed still increasing On-
ward he sped, gaining renewed speed at ey-
cry bound, and was soon lost to the sight
of the spectators People met him on the
road they spoke to him, but he returned il
not. They thought the man was mad his
eyes flashed fire, his face became haggard-
still on he sped. Without rest or food he
moved for days and nights, gaining all the
time. The news soon spread over the coun-
try he was seen at different points, always
going at lightning speed. His clothes were
soon torn in shreds; his flesh became lac
Grated, and his bones protruded, but still
he moved. Weeks ensued, and still he was
seen moving. He passed a lager beer es-
tablishment and made tremendous effort
to stop, but it was no go; on he went, his
gait still increasing He soon became
skeleton, but still he sped forward. He
passed into strange land-the people were
alarmed. On he moved, he grew thinner
and thinner. His spirit had long since
passed the realms of space, but still he NOV
ed. He was last seen in the forests OF Bo-
hemia, his gaunt figure and terrible speed
striking terror in all beholders-the people
trembled at his name, but on he sped, re-
gardless of every obstacle, and, when last
heard from, he was still bounding forward
through the forest, on his wonderful veloc-
pede.

FRUIT AND BLOWER BEDS-DON'T
UNCOVER THEM TOO soon.

lone swallow does not make summer is
an old and excellent adage. Many do not heed
it to their sorrow, for, cheated by warm and
balmy day, now and then, and thinking that all
chilling weather is past, they remove the
boughs or other covering from the strawberry,
flower beds, &C., when chilly days and freez-
ing nights return to give the plants a touch
from which they never recover. Forquite har-
dy things the last Of April, and for tender ones
q week or two later is early enough in this eli
mate. And not only is there proper time,
but proper 1cay to dispose of this litter, which
is to spread it upon some cultivated spot of
garden or field and burn it--both because it is
the very best dressing you can use-ashes-
and gives an air Of neatness around. For few
things are more painful to persons of taste
than to see these old brush heaps around house
hold premises, and long lines Of appe-tree
prunings encnmberlng the road sides for many
a mile. All these unsightly things may be
changed into money in three ways-the ashes
they will make; giving you a chance to destroy
the thistles and similar pests which now lurk
among the rubbish; and the profit which sl-
comes from caltirating the bump Of ort7er.
