Reply to "Grand Juror.n

MR. EDITOR :-Before giving the explanation
so modeslly demanded 10y "Grand Juror" let
me ask him to inform ''the people" from what
source the Grand Jsry derived the information
they presented at the October Court. Was it ac-
quired in the sacred portals of the Court House,
'in the impenetrable ~ secresy of the jury
room p or was il sought for and obtained on
the streets of Union2
In seeking for the causes for the bad roads, ~
enquiry made of gentlemen from all sections of
the County, or did the "mysteriou, Ne,cs" come
through the board of County Commissioners?
As it has become of public interest to learn
what party, or parties gave the information to
the Grand Jury that the Orerseers had worked
tho fuH time required 6y lac, it would not b.
amiss for "Grand Juror TO eulghten us on tho
subject.
The jury were, no doubt, deceived in regard
to the matter, still it was incumbent on them to
find out the true facts, so as to have fixed the
blame where it properly belonged.
Our road Overseers will not hesitate to do
what may be required of them by the laws of
the country; but they do seriously object to
obeying orders of a Board of Commissioners
whose only ambition seems to be to draw their
two or three dollars per day; and they cannot
be expected to do otherwise until their bosses
manifest little more interest in having the
roads done up right.
When the Grand Jury shall lift themselves
above party prejudice, the evils under which
our country suffers may find q remedy. Until
that time we may hope, but our wishes are de-
stined never to be fulfilled.

ONLY WAITISG.-At one Of our leading hotels
gentleman is stopping, who, years before the
war, came to Columbia, and was then amazed at
seeing the great water power which Columbia
possesses lying idlo. lie said then to men who
are still alive that it was wonder to him that
this immense source of wealth had never been
utilized. The war came and closed, and
thieves got possession of the State, and, to use
his own language, sit was worse than folly for
him to try to do anything while they welded
the government" He is here now, with mil
lion or two at his back, and he wants to see Co.
lumbia OIL her feet again, and is willing to invest
his capital in any paying project that will help
her. The Legislature can-will it give cncour-
aGcmcnt to such men? IIo only wants to know
if our law makers will help the State thus far.
lie is willing, and is only waiting for their re-
ply.-RCyiSter.

THAT DEBT QUEsTIoN,-It seems to us that the
Legislature is spending great deal Of valuable
tame, very uselessly, in the discussion of the
debt question. The question is simple and in \
nutshell. The funding of the debt at fifty per
cent. was in the nature of compromise. II
was almost if not entirely impossible to separ
ate the good and valid bonds from the fraudulent.
The State said we will agree to give you fifty
per cent. for good, bad and indifferent the
creditors said if you make this fnaity, and
pledge the faith of the State to pay this
much, without further defalcation, we agree
The debt was funded. Then the Democratic
party, through its committee, pledged itself to
stand by this compromise, and SO did the Wal
lace House. These were the only authoritative
bodies that could, under the exigencies of the
times, speak out on the subject. The result is,
the party now in power is bound by these pied
ges, and the Legislature ought to quit the
less discussion in which they are now engaged,
vote to sustain the consolidation act, hurry up
the other business, and adjourn.-Kingstree Star.

She Should and She Shouldn't.


good wife is like three things-which three
things she should not be like:
First, she should be like town clock, to keep
time and regularity; she sh ould not be like town
clock, either, to speak so loud that all the town
may hear her.
Second, che should be like snail, and stay
within her own she'll and she should not be
like u snail, either, carrying all she has upon
her back:
Third she should be like an echo-spcak when
spoken to; and she should not be like an echo,
to always have the last word.
Now, if the man who wrote the above wishes
to know what tho generality Of wives really arc,
let him read "Dan's Wife," which ne will find
on our fourth page. Well bet a ginger cake
that he is like Dams Wifc's husband. EpIroR

Death of P. N. Cohen.

Death Of P. N Cohen.
With regret we announce that this excellent
young man died at the residence of his Cousin,
Mr.. p. NJ. Cohen, in this town, early last Thurs
day morning, in the 2lth year of his age.
Mr.. Cohen was n native OF Hanover, Germany,
but came to this Country when qnitc child
His parents settled in Philadelphia, Pa, where
his widowed mother now lives. For years lie
had known that his lungs were weak but dur.
ing the fire in this town, on the night that Gen.
Hampton spoke here, he worked faithfully 10
suppress the flames, exposing himself to heat,
cold and water, and took severe cold, that set
tied upon lis lungs, from which lie never recov-
cred. lie spent last Summer in Florida, in the
hope of restoring his health, but his indomita-
BILE business energy could not be satisfied in
idlencss, AMI instead Of taking that rest and
leisure his condition so greatly needed, he ac-
lively engaged in the fruit business, consequent
ly he received no benefit from the change of Mt
in dying condition. After remaining in
Charleston a short time, he came to Union and
arrived here OH the Monday previous to his
death.
Mr.. Cohen was an honorable young man of
fine business qualities and had many friends
in this community. Ills remains were taken to
Philadelphia to be inferred in the Hebrew bury
ing ground of that place

Mad Dog Killed.

Last Sturday quite commotion was caused
in this town by the appearance of dog with
undoubteI symptoms of rabies, passing down
the middle of Main Street. No sooner was the
cry of "mad dog raised than crowd was in
pursuit, and if the animal was not mad before,
the shouts of the colored gamins that followed
him was sufficient to drive him mad.
The dog took refuge under the steps of Mr..
Reuben Gees new dwcling-frightening the
Ladies inside awfuly-when Rock Johnson, a
staunch colorcd Democrat, procured n gun and
despatched him quickly. We have not heard
that the dog bit any person or animal but there

How SILVER COIN is TO EE IssUED.-Washing-
ton, March AFTER full consideration and con-
sultaion with members ofboth Houses of Congress
the Secretary of the Treasury has determined
that the first silver dollars TO be ss ,cd will be
used only in exchange at par for gold coin, or
for the purchase Of silver bullion at market
price. He does not feel at liberty to use them
10 pay for current expenses, until the amount
coined is sufficient to furnish all alike, wthou.
discrimination, nor does he deem it expcdient
at present to exchange them for United States
netcs, or to use them in the payment of the in
terest on the public debt, until the amount
coined is sufficient to enable him to do SO i'm
partially. Therefore, they will at present, be
used for the purchase Of silver bullion at mar
ket rates. The silver certificates will soon be
ready for issue. and are of the form IF bank
notes, engraved in the best manner and printed

The Court,

The Int Of Common Pleas has been closely
engage ince last Monday upon the following
MatkES. Lynn, vs.. j. s. II. Thompson,
Wade FoX or and J. G. Spears.
This VI o case brought against the owners Of
the old thompson Mill, upon Thickety Creek,
to recoSt damages for injuries done to lands
from grhowing, caused, Us the Plaintiff alleges,
by the lam of the mill obstructing the free pas
sagsSs dsssater.
We understand there were over ono hundred
and fly witnesses subpenied in this case, and
9 large majority Of them were examined
Among the witnesses were two able Surveyors
Col. ]. l.. Young, Of this town, and Maj. Lee,
Of Anderssn-who had been employed oy the
respective contestants to make thorough SER
veys, and who underwent severe examinations
upon the stand. Upon the decision of this case
will depend many others against that mill and,
perhaps, involve almost every mill upon the
water courses of this County.
Testimony was closed yesterday morning
about 10 o'clock, when Judge Munro opcnd the
argument for the Plaintiff.
Both sides are represented by rs able Council
can be found in the State: Shaud Il Munro
and Munro s Munro, appearing for the Plain
tiff and Rion s. McKissck and j. s. r. Tkomp-
Esonsfor e. Defendants. s..
In Tie hearing of this case Judge Kershaw
has displayed patient and untiring industry
truly remarkable, and we are satisfied he must
be almost wearied out. AS far as it was posi-
BILE for him to do so, he has taken down the tes-
timony Of every witness examined. His pen
has been necessarily at work but his equanin-
ity of temper has never appeared to be in the
least ruflled nor his patience exhausted. All
parties know the case is before righteous Judge,
who will edo right though the heavens may
fall"
Al the time of going to press the argument
was progressing and we doubt much if the case
will begvcn to the Jury before noon to-day.

able. The Auditor of public accounts has re-
ported to a committee OF the legislature that
there is but 500 in the Treasury, AMI that no
money could be borrowed, or collected and that
he can run the State Legislature not an hour
longer. 1t is a bad condition for the State to
be in rs well rs an individual, without money
and credit, both.

found at the Greenvlle Hotel.
We arc glad to learn that his Newspaper and
Hotel are both thriving. lie promises to give
us the news from al quarters Of the globe eight
hours earlier than by any other paper. That
will make his paper valuable to our people.
After looking at his corpulcncy, we can we'll
understand why he went back to the newspaper
business: lie found he was getting too fat for
the coming summer and he knew, from expe
ricnce, that the surest way to keep the flesh
down, was to go into the Newspaper business
