J.,K. Terry is sheriff, q moderate Radical.
The people lean little towards him, as well as
to A. C. Shaffer, and they ought, as they bought
lands and came here to make Carolina tner
home, and are planting the staple somewhere
on Toogoodoo. Terry and Shaffer are credited
with some good deeds.
James ". Grace, county treasurer, Is from
New Bedford, Mass, was captain Of some col
ored company; married Miss War!ng, from
this State, and seems to keep more to him self.
The grand Jury found his Office all right, and
so reported, am informed. j.
Jessie s. Craig has the Office Of judge OF
probate. He is peculiarly gifted With an In
nate knowledge Of the law, ana TX Rnowangy
ton, &C., and is Tin ais own opinion) equsl to
Chief Justice Chase; those learned In legal
lore, however, differ widely with him. and
hold to their opinion that he is an infant yet,

cate him.
must not in my brief sketches fail to men-
ton Mr.. Henwood. All such as he the people
gladly welcome. He comes as q settler, not
as carpet-bagger. and has already Invested
both money and time-the first in the purchase
of two tracts of land, nice lot and house in
the village, and has gone to work. He is also
committed to the cause of Reform.
John W. Burbidge, Esq, is the county audit
or. Republican he Is, but believe 1t Is ad-
mitted on all sides that ne Is an honest one
both as to his political belief and In the admin
istrauon of the effairs of his office. His Intel
lirence Is above mediocre; his business habits
are held in high estimation from one END OF
the county to the other. The people know MIN
everywhere, and speak well OF him. OF course
he has enemies; but you never flnd o Soou man
that does not. These are pohtlcaliy 20, l
found. and report him as he was represented.
The census-takers are busy. The father-ln-
law of Nr. Henwood died from bilious fever,
contracted whilst engaged In this work on the
Combahee and Ashepoo.
The last but not least are the county COM
missoners. Mr.. Editor, when the whole
county talks evil about you there must be
sssomething rotten in Denmark" and so 1t ls
here These county commissioners, composed
Off j. Klein, chairman, white; Edward Holmes,
colored and James Nesbit, black, seem,
with the exception OF the last, who has been
only recently appointed by Scott, to stink In
the nostrIls OF the people Of the county, both
white and black, except those that he gives
good fat monied Job TO. And while the Jour
nails of the court Of the July term show that
the grand Jury found their "books, &C., well
kept and regular" there seems to be behind
ton from being entered against them. Wit
nesses can be obtained readily who are will
ling, nav, even anxious, to have chance to
tell, in a court of Justice, Of their departure
from the paths of virtue; but the halls ofjustice
are In the hands Of the Ring, and the solicitor
does not dare do what he, even with his feeble
knowledge Of law, knows to be his duty; for o
gentleman informs me, staunch, rehaDie
Gentleman, too, that he prosecuted, but could
get the solicitor to do nothing. Public opinion
Is strong against this board Of commissioners,
but they are making money. or they would
not be so deaf to Its voice, and would resign.
No man but one whose very conscience Is dead
to everything but filthj lucre, and whose only
love is love OF gain, would stand before such
storm of unpopularity and try to cry down
public opinion. A stranger In strange land
would tell them to desist, and for very shame
to resign. An honest and upright man, doing
what he conscientiouSly believes to be his
duty, may be deaf TO the public voice, and live
down the frowns Of society; but one OF the
other class cannot hope to do t-may as well
trust to get to Heaven without prayer and
faith. A few brief words as to their misdeeds,
as related to me, and will bid them
adios. Tie road spoken otto Jacksonboro'
has had at least eight thousand dollars spent
to put it In order, and 1t, Is at this date even
impossible, when that sum, properly expend-
ed, could have put the road In condition to
last for years. Other parts OF the parish or
the commissioners spend nearly an their time
and money still upon 1t. The mail carrier &c.
Sauls) speaks very seriously Of trying to get
the mail to Green Pond, as he cannot travel
that way without serious draw backs; and, by
the way, that road ito Green Pond) has been
nicely fixed, and the county commissioners
would prefer to travel that line to Charleston.
The one has become too bad. and the other
must take its place. The frauds are so numer-
GUS that cannot enumerate them; but they
are well vouched for to your correspondent,
and II there Is any decency in the Radical
party" they ought to clean out the nest. The
chairman OF the county commissioners attends
all. or nearly so, of the political meetings, but
he can't be understood. \ freedman said some
time ago that he was at a meeting on Round
o, and he liked to hear MASS Fox" speak,
but he thought Klein was drunk, or spoke
"Gulla,'' as he could not understand him.
Fox did good service there, am told, and as
a sequence thereto, has had a suit brought
against him for ''libel" by one jacob, who
claims to be O '.knock-kneed justice OF the
peace, and such peace justice! they had to
shut him up to keep him away from Fox, and
he was thereby saved something unpe as
ant to him at least-so people seem to Ehink.
Trial Justice "Dr. Farmer" Of Waterloo,
claims to be the same way OF thinking as ].
L. Orr. Says If ne could write, he would have
written just such letter. Your readers can
be their own Judge OF his decency and re-
spectability; Of that, your correspondent
knoweth nothing, and does not care to know.
