TIE CIRQUE coURT.-

The Court of Common Pleas has BEEN in
session during the present week, and the
business of the term has progressed very
rapidly, and will probably be concluded to-
day or tomorrow. His Honor Judge
Cooke has worked diligently in the business
of the Court from its commencement, and
expects to leave the County with as clear a
docket as possible. All business ready for
trial will be disposed Of, and cases not In
volving anything more than formal orders,
which have been ON the docket for q long
time, have been struck off with leave to re-
store. The general business of the term has
been of an uninteresting nature, but some
interesting cases have been tried. One Of
these was writ of habeas corpus, sued out
by Messrs. Featherston & Brown, Attorneys
for Henry Lawrence Smith, in which rule
was issued against Mr.. James II. Mcconnell,
Sheriff, requiring him to show cause why
be was exercising the Office Of Sheriff, upon
the ground that he Was not elected on the
proper day and was not properly commits
stoned. Messrs. Murray & Murray fled
return for the Sheriff, and after argument
the Judge decided that the election in No..
vember for County officers was valid, and
that Mr.. Mcconnell was the legal Sheriff of
Anderson County.
A rule issued against B. D. Dean, requir-.
ing him to show cause why he should not
turn over his Office to the County Commits
sioners as asked by the Grand Jury. Mr.. ].
e. Breazesle filed his return; stating that he
only retained the Office until successor is
appointed, and the rule was discharged. A
similar rule is pending against the County
Auditor, and Gen. ]. w. Harrison repre-
sented the Auditor.
On Tuesday the case of NJ. Lesser VS.. ]. G.
Hall and Mrs. NJ. ]. Hall, his wife, was
tried The plaintiff was represented by
Messrs. Harrison & Whitefeld and the de.
fense by Messrs. Murray & Murray. One
of the questions involved was the right of a
married woman to go security for her hus-
band upon note. After argument the
Plaintiff submitted to non suit, and though
the question was not formally decided the
position of the defense was virtually sus-
tanned. Persons lending money or taking
notes would do we'll to make note of this
case. The case of Mrs. Mary c. Breazeale,
Administrative VS.. Mrs. Elizabeth Cox, Ad-
in which Mr.. ]. e. Breazeale
the Plaintiff and Messrs. Nc
Gowan and Moore the Defendant. The de-
tense set up was that the note was . promis-
sorry note, and changed to sealed note to
avoid the statute Of limitations. The yer.
dict was for the defense. Joseph ID. Taylor
vs.. Mrs. N. J. Orr and James L. Orr Admin
istratrix and Administrator Of estate of Hon.
James L. Orr, was tried, and verdict for the
Plaintiff A number of other cases have
been tried, but these embraced the points of
greateat public interests. The Court is still
in session. 4

TEE LOCATION OF NzwBEsRY COLLEGE.

AS announced in our last issue; the per-
manent location of Newbery College is to
be determined by committee of the Luthe-
ran Synod, and bids are invited from differ
ent towns for that purpose. Some interest
has been manifested among the citizens Of
Anderson in regard to the proposed location,
and we desire to bring the matter directly to
their attention. The Newberry College was
removed some years ago to Welhalla, where
buildings were erected, and where full
corps of professors are now actually engaged
in prosecuting the work of educating young
men for the business Of life. The institu-
ton has an established reputation for USE
fulness and decided merit. and is supported
by the united and enthusiastic efforts Of an
entire denomination. A valuable library
belongs to the College, and an agent is now
in the field to secure an endowment Of Fifty
Thousand Dollars, the interest Of which is
to be applied exclusively for the payment Of
professors salaries. This agent has succeed
ed beyond expectations, We are informed,
and the endowment is confidently expected
to be realized. The average attendance Of
boarding students will number not less than
fifty. which, added to the local patronage,
would insure successful institution. The
advantages of Anderson in healthy climate
and cheap living would seem commensurate
with any other town in che up-country, and
as a means of extending it's growth we do
not know any surer method than establish
ing its reputation as an educational centre.
BY the cooperation and earnest endeavo1
of its citizens this desideratum may be easi-
ly gained. We think the proposition in re-
gard to the Newberry College quite worthy
of consideration, and would ask that our
fellow-citizens who are most largely inter-
ested in the growth and prosperity Of the
town make an investigation of its merits at
an early day.

of so noble subject. AS work of art it
stands unrivalled, but still its chief merit
lays IN its being life-like portrait. 1t is
the first product, on so large scale, of
new and secret process based on photo
graphy,, having The advantage of great

seeded the oil printing, because of its exact
reproduction of the subject, so this process
Is bound to take the place of steel engrav-
ing, or any method which depends upon
artistic conception and execution for results
we mean for the production Of portraits.
What the people want in portrait is truth
they do not wish the artists conception of
man, but the face and features-of the man
as he is-and by no means can this grand
result be better attained than by the.means
of photography ,saad his new process based
thereon. 50 Bit while these great advantages
are secured, it admits of the embellishments
of art, and a portrait is produced, possessing
al! the truthfulness of photograph, with
the artistic effect of the steel engraving.
The publishers have been extremely fortu-
nate in their selection of the mode by which
they give to all admirers of the great states
man, the noble, generous, manly features
which speak so plainly the great mind,
elevated feeling and generous heart of Wade
Hampton.
Those who worked for the grand cause

paid taxes to the government of their choice,
can now place this picture at their firesides,
as they have placed it's subject in their
hearts. 1t must become one of the

with abstracting property of the United

pRrsHurxsu. OF THE GRAND JUDY.

To the Honorable Thompson II. Cooke, Prcs'd'
ing Judge of the Eighth Judicial csrcaa:
The Grand Jury beg leave respectfully to
make the following presentment of matters
which they deem of importance to the pub
lie interests of the County Of Anderson:
They have visited the Offices of the Clerk
of the Court, Sheriff and Probate Judge, and
find them well kept and the duties Of these
Offices satisfactorily performed. They
would, however, recommend that new
hearth be laid in the Clerks Office, and that
the old books of the Sheriff's office be boxed
in such o manner as to preserve them from
injury and at the same time keep them con.
venient for reference.
The Grand Jury visited the County jail
and found it neatly kept and the wants and
necessities Of the prisoners properly cared
for. They find the partition through which
the entrance to the cells Of the prisoners is
on the second. foor, very insecure. 1t, con
sists of wooden Stats, three. by six inches
which can byvery little effort be displaced
The Grand Jury suggest that the slata be
crossed by iron bars in such manner as to
render them secure. They also suggest that
proper shutters to the windows be provided
for the rooms on the lower floor, and tha,
good locks be placed on the entering doors
The front foundation of the building is in
bad condition, and threatens to undermine
the building, owing to the improper fixing
of the cutters. The Grand Jury recommend
