TIE GERMAN SOCIETY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
The annual meeting of the German Society
was held yesterday afternoon at the hall o.
the Bruderllcher Bund, First Vice. President C.
| D. Brahe In the chair. A quorum being pres
emf, the acting vlce-presldent submitted bis
annual report, which was adopted
An election for officers was then held, and
the following gentlemen were chosen to serve
for the ensuing year: G. D. Brahe, president
F. Won Santen, first vlce-president; G. Volgt'
second rice.president; D. Werner, treasurer
W. Michaelis, recording secretary; W. Uffer.
hardt, corresponding secretary; II. Klatte,
first director; F. j. Lilienthal, second director
]. H. Haeslop, third director; W. Fischer,
fourth director; n. Harms, agent.
The annual report of President Brahe con-
tains many facts of interest, and we present a
few extracts to give our readers some idea Of
the field and scope OF this society. The presI-
dent (Mr. John Campsen) having died during
the year, Mr.. G. D. Brahe, first vice-presdent,
became acting president, aud discharged the
duties of his office to the satisfaction Of all.
The balance in the hands of the treasurer at
the last meeting was s26G 10; collected during
the year $3.50; giving q total Of 1852 10; ex-
pended for all purposes during the year s416 %;
leaving balance on hand of s235 81. Ofthe
amount expended, 500 was loaned during the
summer to the German Society for relieving
the sick-an adjuvant las uany of our readers
will recollect) 10 the Howard Association
during the epidemic of last summer and au-
tumu, $50 40 (of this s1O0) was returned
again to the society.
During the year Just past seeVenty'tWo Ter
mans received assistance, in one form or
another, through the agency of this society.
Some received employmentin this city, others
were sent to the interior, where their SER
Vices were In great demand. The president,
in his report, expresses the acknowledgment
of the society for favors and considerations
received from tho several railroads In the
State. The society only counts one hundred
and sixty-two members at present. AS the
annual subscription is only one dollar, and
thu objects of the society unquestlonably
laudable. 1t Is somewhat surprising that more
of our German friends do not cooperate with
this organization. The German Society has
our hearty good wishes, and we sincerely
hope that under ils auspices thousands of the
sturdy sons of Fatherland may become adopt
ed and useful citizens of South Carolina. The
German Society of New York, after which
this is fashioned, has done great and good
work for that metropolis; the German Society
ofNew Orleans, also, has been instrumental In
much good work, both 10 the Crescent City and
to the many German immigrants it has taken by
the hand upon their landing on these shores,
and there is no reason why long AMI bright
future, rich in promise of large usefulness
should not be In store for the German Society
| Of Charleston.

It certainly seems 10 us that the revenue de-
rived from this amount OF taxable property is
sufficient, with the existing statements, to de-
fray The expenses Of this county, provided it
is honestly disbursed.
We visited the jiil and found the general
health of the prisoners 10 be good. one only
being sick. We would recommend that the
county commissioners furnish the hospital
with necessary cots and bedding, as us in-
mates are actually suffering for want of these,
and two deaths have occurred recently In the
hospital for went ufs such articles; one OF these
cases leil under the eyes of the grand jurors
themselves; the other is noticed in the verdict
of the coroner's jury. We would also recom.

oi., *

From the above and other testimony before
them, the grand jury are satisfied that the
treasurer has disbursed the greater part OF the
taxes collected for the current year TO pay
checks issued and chargea6le against the tax
levy of 1870, which checks were held by specu.
lators, with whom the treasurer has been and
Is acting in concert, to the most grieVouS In
Jury OF the bona t1de creditors of the county,
the county officials, jurors, witnesses, bailiffs
and the mechanics and laborers upon the pue-
lie works. and the clerks aud other employees
In the Offices of county officials. To show that
the county treasurer is not ABOVE the sns-
piclon of being an interested party In these
transactions, the grand jury cite The notorious
fact that persons Intimately connected with the
treasurer are spectators In these county
checks. The grand jury desire 10 note the
further surprising lucL that the present county
treasurer has never made report TO the county
commissioners, serliDg forth In detail the
checks paid by him. This report is required
by law, and was rendered more necessary by
the facts that the immediate predecessor (Mr.
Stoll) OF The present treasurer Is now under
indictment tor malfeasance in office, and o
large number of fraudulent checks, drawn by
the county commissioners In favor oil fictitious
parties, were reported to be on the market,
while others were asserted to be forgeries. In
view OF all the f,cts in the premises, The grand
jury respectfully request that~this honorable
court will Issue the necessary order requiring
William Gurney, treasurer of Charleston
County, 10 furnish the grand jury with state
ment setting forth The name of each person to
whom he has paid money during his term Of
office, together with the original vouchers
upon which such payments were made, the
latter to be Inspected and returned to the
county treasurer.
We also visited the county auditors office,
and found the books and records properly
kept. The following is the auditors exhibit

rested. The prisoner having deposited twenty
dollars at the Guardhouse returned in high

for him In the most scientific and effective
style. The two were separated, but the .unfor-
tunate friend made his appearance at the

and nose which would have stood any

referred the matter to. a trial justice.

The selfshpess of the President.

tits strange, and certainly curious, that the
people discover after the decease Cf soae public
men, that their lives were replete with sterling
qualities, both Of heart and mind, but which
while living, they either failed to perceive nr
had not the mIgnanimity 10 acknowledge. Such
was the case with the malgned aud persecuted
LINCOLN. Add thus will it be with General
GRANT.
Much is now said about his selfshness, but
hear what exSecretary HoAR, OF Massachusetts,
said about this matter in late speech 10 Fanu-
ell Hail. Boston:
For one year and part Of another / had the
honor OF being partcipator in the councils of
General Grants administration, ana desire to
testify, and believe that what may say in
Massachusetts, will be accepted as fact that
during the whole period in which was in the
cabinet councils, never heard personal sug-
gesiion M regard to his influence upon one man
or another man. but the consideration simply
was what would be the best for the country
And when remember the simple, clear headed.
practical, modest man, who sat at the head Of
the table there, and then hear him talked Of by
Mr.. Sumner, think Mr.. Sumner mast be re-
ierring to somebody else.
The testm my of such n man as Judge HoAR.
Is worth more than a whole speech Of abuse
from blatant politician, who is Influenced by
