Presentment of the Grand Jury of An
dersOn County.

To the Hon. T. II. Cooke, Presiding Judge of
the Eighth Judicial Circuit Of South Carolina:
The Grand Jury beg leave respectfully to
submit to the Honorable Court, that they have
discharged the duties devolving upon them to
the best of their ability, and find upon exam
ination of the various public offices and insti-
tutions that they are generally we'll kept and
in good condition The Jail has been exam
ined, and found to be in proper order and we'll
managed. The building, however, needs some
repairs, which the Jury recommend be placed
upon it at once They also recommend that
the floor around the fire place in the Clerks
Office be repaired. The Grand Jury, by COM
mittee of their number, visited the Poor House,
and found it in good order and the inmates
we'll cared for, and the Grand Jury recommend
that a sewing machine be purchased for the
use of its inmates. They beg leave to report
that the roads and bridges throughout the
County are in bad condition, and recommend
that the County Commissioners have them put
in order, as soon as the farming community
can reasonably spare the time from their crops,
to attend to them. The Grand Jury also beg
leave to present that they have examined into
the town licenses for retailing spirituous liq-
uors, according to the late act, and find all of
them regular except those of Messrs. McGrath
& Byrum and NJ ID. Kennedy, which are irreg-
ular, in so much as they have no eating saloon
in connection with their Bar Rooms The
Grand Jury beg leave further to present that
there are 70 bonded constables in the County,
as provided for by law, and all who are now
acting as constables are doing 80 without hav-
ing given bond and security for the perform
ance of their duties The Grand Jury also
present that J. ]. Gilmer, Trial Justice in
Anderson County, has been guilty of malprac-
tice in office, in making proposition to dis
miss an action against a party, against whom
he said there was no proof, provided the said
party would pay the costs of the case, and the
Grand Jury recommend that other Trial JUS
tices be more careful in the discharge of their
duties.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
S. w. SHERARD,
Foreman Of Grand Jury.

BRIDGE OVER SENECA RIVER.

At the last February term of Court, the
Grand Jury in their presentnent advocated the
building of free bridge across Seneca River,
and Judge Cooke instructed the County Com
missioners to do so or else shew cause The
Rule of Court in reference to this was answer
ed by the Commissioners on Tuesday last,
shelving that nothing definite had been accom-
plished. His Honor then instructed the Solic-
itor to serve upon that body further Rule,
requiring them to either build or purchase a
bridge across the said river by the next regular
term of Court, which will be about four months
hence. His Honor very wisely remarked that
long delay in the erection of such bridge
would be Of material disadvantage to the
County in the way of trade, for the people of
the Fork country would be hindered from
bringing their produce to this market. We
hope soon to see that our brethren Of the Fork
will receive this advantage to their section.

THE COURT.

Court convened at this place on Monday last,
the 25th inst, His Honor Judge Cooke on the
Bench. The Juries were sworn in, and the
business of the Court opened in the usual way.
His Honor's charge to the Grand Jury was
clear, forcible and pointed, and during the
course of his charge, he impressed upon them
the necessity of nquiring into the recent license
system, and to ascertain if persons who had
previously obtained license from the corporate
authorities were keeping up to the special re-
quirements of the Act regulating the sale Of
spirituous liquors. He complimented the
Grand Jury upon the present state of County
Matters the good order prevailing, and the
efficient manner in which they discharged their
duties. The business of the Sessions was then
taken up, and disposed of as follows:

Virtual ConfiScatiOn.

The Charleston Nc,cs and Courier makes an
appalling exhibit of the woful condition of the
taxpayers in Charleston County. The sale OF
delinquent lands occupied five days, and twenty
nine hundred pieces of real estate were confs-
Gated by the State for delinquent taxes. This
is a frightfu statement, and we have trust
worthy information from private sources that
the people did not have the money to pay the
taxes, which gives the lie to the allegation OF
Radical newspapers that they were unwilling to
paw. In some cases the taxes we're double the
incomes of the persons, and the assessment, in
one instance, was ten times what the property
brought at public auction few weeks ago,
when two or three bidders we're competing for
it.
The Port Royal Commercial published list
of delinquent taxpayers in Beaufort County,
which occupied seven columns of fine type. In
two townships, over six hundred tracts of land
were reported, and not more than fifty tracts
belonged to white men. The colored men, who
bought the fine plantations Of their former
owners from the government, at one dollar and
a quarter per acre, have been unable to bear
the taxation of the past six years, and are now
obliged to let the land be sold for taxes. Our
cotemporary says truly that the scheme for i'm
proving the condition of the colored man by
taxing out of existence the white man has not
worked well in Beaufort County, at least.
This extraordinary phase ofafairs in the low
country, where white and colored alike are de-
prived of their homes by excessive taxation,
should arouse the masses all over the State to
unite in securing decent, economical govern
ment under which the people might live with
out fear of confscation

Hon. W. D. Porter, President of the Tax
Payers Convention, publishes card in the
Charleston News and Courier to remind the
delegates of each County that they were ap-
pointed a committee for the purpose of raising
fund for the benefit of the family of the late
w. H. McCaw, as testimonial due to his SER
vices in the interest of the taxpayers of the
State. Only a few responses have been made
to the appeal throughout the State, and it is
hoped the delegations will not neglect or furth-
Ell delay the self-imposed duty of rendering a
just tribute to one who was, perhaps, beyond
comparison, the most faithful aud self-sacrihc-
ing worker in the common cause. Under this
call of Mr.. Porter, we are ready to acknowl-
edge contributions from any of the friends and
admirers of Mr. McCaw in Anderson County,
and subscription list will be found accessible
at all times in this Office.

Judicial PerplexitY.

The perplexed condition of the average judi
cial mind in this State excites our sympathy.
The Supreme Court of the United States re-
Gently decided that the bills of the Bank of
the State were receivable for taxes, and in a
number of instances payment was rendered in
these bills, but this was refused by the County
Treasurers, of course. The act of the Legis-
lature and the instructions of superior officers
did not include this class of bills in the catego-
ry of available and receivable moneys, suita-
BILE for the purposes of the existing State gov
ernment. The County Treasures respectfully
declined to handle any portion of this ante
belluna currency, and utterly refused to relieve
taxpayers of the custody and ownership OF so
doubtful a circulating medium. In this emer-
gency, the only remedy was lodged in the
State Courts to compel the County Treasurers
to receive the bills for taxes. 4 number OF
cases went before the different Judges and the
result is so varied and diverse as to excite a
public coincidence for the perplexity OF those
honored and dignifed gentlemen now wearing
the ermine of judicial authority in this State
1t appears that in the Court of Common
Pleas at Charleston, Judge Graham issued an
order suspending the sale of the property be-
longing to the Union Bank, and of all other
property, the owners of which had rendered
bills of the Bank of the State in payment OF
taxes, until the further order of the Court
At Columbia, Judge Carpenter issued per
emptory mandamus, commanding the County
Treasurer of Kershaw to receive the bills in
payment of State taxes He decided that the
taxes due to the County could not be paid in
these bills, as the counties are corporations
now, and their taxes are levied for specific
purposes within the county lines. His Honor
refused absolutely the motion of the Attorney
General for submitting an issue to be tried by
a Jury, on the ground that the Supreme Court
of the United States having decided the valid
ity of the bills it was oppressive on the part OF
the State to force upon every citizen who holds
these bills long, troublesome and costly liti-
CATION, when by general suit the State could
test the whole issue at once.
At the same time and place, in a case from
Anderson, Judge Cooke refused to issue per-
emptory mandanlus or restraining order,
until the issue had been submitted to a jury as
to the validity of the bills rendered. This de-
cision of his Honor subjected the parties who
had rendered bills here to the sale of their
lands, unless they paid the taxes pending the
suit. Of course, the County Treasurer was
paid in "lawful currency" as there was NC
other alternative, but what prospect OF redress
is before the parties, if they are proved finally
to be right, we are not informed.
1t does seem very astonishing to our unln'
formed and unprofessional intelligence that on
such matter there should be such difference
of judicial opinion. The proverb relating te
the doctors will have to be amended, and here
after must include the judiciary of South Car
olina.
