COUNTY TREASURER.

We have examined the County Treas,
lrcr's Office, aud we find that the new
treasurer, L. Il. Grccac complains that
he is some somewhat embarrassed in the
discharge OF his duties in consequence
OF the iAcomplele transfer Of tho books
by the old Treasurer, L. K. Sasportas.
The Agent Of Mr.. Sasportas, however,
II, b. johnson, explains that he is now
busily engaged in tho preparation Of the
books and papers for transfer.
Our attention was called to the TACT,
that in the books Of MIR. Sasportas, the
oue-third which was ordered TO be taken
off was not noted on tho books as SO de-
Quoted in many cases, which we regard,
at least as negligence.

Presentment of Grapd Jury.
MAY TERM 1871.

We, the Grand Jury, of Orangeburg
County, for the May term of Court, in
the year 1871, beg leave most respect
fully, to report, that, acting under a
solemn sense of the obligation Of our
oath, and Of our duty to our fellow citi-
IONS, us the guardians of their interest,
have, with an eye single to the public
welfare, and utterly regardless Of per-
sonal considerations, entered upon our
functions of examining into the public
Offices and records of the County, aud
the following has been the result of our
investigation.
SHERIFF, CLERK OF COURT AND JUDGE
OF PROBATE.
1. We have visited the Offices of the
Sheriff, the Clerk Of Court aud the
Judge Of Probate, and so far as We could
ascertain, we found everything in good
condition, and would add further, to the
credit of these officials, that we have
heard no complaints Judged against
them.
JAIL,
2. We found the Jail in good condi-
.tion. The apartments seem to be clean
.iy, well kept, and the prisoners comfort
able. They complain, however, that
their food is badly cooked. a point to
which We desire to direct the attention
Of those who have the matter under SUI
perintendancc. We would also call the
attention Of Court, to the recent escape
OF several prisoners which We do nnt
know whether to attribute TO careless
ness on the part eli the keeper, CT to the
wan OF proper provision in the way OF
assistance in attending to their ncces
sites.

AUDITORS OFFICE.

4 We arc aware that the last Grand
Jury brought to the notice of the Court
the enormous increase which were made
III the assessment of property by the
old Board of Equalization, after the
local assessors had made their returns,
but we regard the grievance in this line
as so great, and the assumption of power
so unwarrantable that we cannot refrain
from reiterating our complaints Us the
agents Of tho people.
1t appears that local assessors were
appointed who were supposed to be &C
quainted with the lands assessed, and at
an expense of several thousand dollars.
AID after a faithful return, their work
Twas virtually set aside1 aud of course
the money paid to them for servi-
ces was rendered a complete loss to the
State, (by the Board of Equalization sit
ting in Orangcburg taking it upon them
selves to assess the property about which
they knew nothing. A value was thus
placed upon property which was entirely
fictitious, the original assessments being
raised from three to five times higher
We can see no rea son for placin, this
fictitious value upon property, unless the
Board of Equalization finding the debts
OF the Government would require high

We are further informed, by compe-
tent witnesses, whose sworn statements

Sasrortas. the County Treasurer, bought
county orders from them, in some cases,
lat a discount Of twenty i've per ceut.,
and in others, at FIVE and eight per cent.
discount.
These facts in regard to the County
Treasurer arc of such a serious nature
that we present them to the Court as
sufficient grounds for his indictment.
We also have evidence befor US that
county and school orders have been
bought to a large extent, by other Couu-
ty Officers. and in one case, more than
halfof said orders have been paid, while.
at the the same time. we have no cvi-
dence OF any teacher having been direct
ly paid by the Treasurer, and we are in
formed that many teachers have repeat
edly presented their orders for payment.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

County Commissioners, we herewith ap.

which the attention of the Grand Jury

must have held ll9 regular sessions du.

7 Juiyt3otif, fsTo--Ti1e minutes Of the
fiscal year ending list Nov. 1869, are in
similar condition !; and the same is the
case with those of 1868.
