assisted by J. G. Witherspoon, ESD. For de-
fence, Messrs. J. P. Gage and j. r. Hart.
Verdict, not guilty as to Simon Cooper. Guilty
as to Charles Campbell, and mercy craved.
Sentenced to the penitentiary for LIE.
The grand jury made the following present
ment:
State of South Carolina,
York county, October Term, lSSO.
TO THE HON. JUDGE HUDSON Sir: The
grand jury have endeavored to perform the
several duties within their Jurlsolctlon, ana
herewith respectfully submit report of their
Investigations:
The books and accounts of the county Otl-
GERS have been carefully and critically eXamin-
ed. and found neatly and properly kept.
The county Jail is in very good condition,
and the prisoners properly cared for.
The grand jury find at the county Poor
House p paupers-12 white and 10 black.
Cleared land in cultivation, acres, ..... l3O
Woodland, .......... .................. !oo oo
Old field and pasture, ................ l9o
Total acres, ......-........... 4'o
The live stock consists of l horse, 2 mules,
COWS and II hogs. Products OF the tarm !;
Z bales of cotton, 500 bushels corn, 4,00o
pounds fodder, IS bushels potatoes. Aggre-
gate expense of farm and paupers, S9OS.7o
The grand jury find this institution almost
self-Sustaining and by judicious management
think it can be made not only self-sustalnmg,
but a source of revenue to the county and
we therefore earnestly recommend the present
superintendent Mr.. J. G. Gwin. for reappont-
ment, and also beg that he be given an addl-
tional mule for the coming year-lSSl.
The grand jury of York deem it obligatory
on them, in this their final presentment, to
fall into line with her sister counties and JOIN
the crusade for humanity. Whisky and pis-
tolls, the twin enemies of morality and pros
perity, are too freely used, and the grand jury
earnestly recommend the passage OF such laws
as will at least lessen the increasing evil.
Very respectfully submitted,
r. J. LATTA, Foreman.

The GRAIDBSH Invention OF The AGE.
SAFETY TO LIFE AND PROPERTY.
THE NON-EXPLOSIVE OIL CAM

VlyHE object of this invention is to keep the
flame from getting into the can, and thereby
prevent the many accidents that occur almost
daily by the EXPLOSION of the common Coal Oil
Cans, now in use. Rufus S. Merrill, of Boston,
having recently declared, in All address before
the American Chemical Society, that between 5000
and 5000 people perished in this country last year,
victims of kerosine oil accidents.
Reasons for using Benefits Patent Oil Can:
l. 1t is non-exp posive and can be used with alb
solute safety to pour stream of oil upon burn
ing fire, hence cannot explode when filling a
burning lamp or used in kindling fires.
g. 1t Is more ceanly than the ordinary can, as
there is no drip from the spout, the thumb valve
allowing the spout TO be inserted in the lamp be-
fore the flow of oil ls started, and stopped before
the spout is removed.
g. It saves time and trouble of unscrewing and
screwing on tops, removing and replacing stop
pers every time the can is used
f. It can be carried in wagon or buggy, and
will not spill by joltins.
s.. Being self-ciosing, requires no stopper on
hespout.
g. 1t is the most economical, because it is at all
times (when not in the act of pouring) air tight,
thereby preventing loss of oil by evaporation and
saving the cost Of the can the firstly
T. It is the cheapest in the end, being made by
experienced worEmen, of the best Charcoal Tin
and best materials throughout. For sale by

A c NNoS error prevails in the
minds of people that any person Of
education msy successfully edit s
newspaper. But the editor, like the
poet, is born IS well as trained. It
takes a man Of peculiar turn of mind,
as well IS of good education, to make
the successful editor, AMI then he
must be especially trained and educa-
ted through many years of experience
before he knows how to handle a news
paper. The Boston Post calls atteu-
tion to the fact that on the London
daily papers, all the great historians,
novelists, poets, esssyists and writers
of travels have been tried, and
In nearly every instance have failed.
We might say all, for after display
of b'illisEcy, brief but grand, they died
out literally. Their resources were ex-
hausteH. II can" said late editor Of
the London Times to NJ 1ore, ''fiad any
number of men of genius to write for
me, but very seldom one of common
s'nse." The ''thunderers" in the 7jmcS,
therefore, have been men of common
sense. Nearly all successful edit have
been men of this des crip,ioD.. Campbell.
Carlyle, Bulwer and D.sraoii failed ;
Barnes, Sterling aud Philips succeed
ed. A good editor writes not so
much for his paper; he reads, judges,
selects, dictates, alters and combines ;
and TO do all this we'll, he has but liy-
tie time for composition. To W ite Is
one thing, to edit Iao'r is another.

PAYMENT OF DUTIES OV I'M
PORTS.

Senator Bayard answers letter from
gentleman of Baltimore, by whom he
was asked to give reasons why, in his
resolution regarding legal tenders, he
excepted duties or imports. In reply
MIR. Bayard says:
The officials and pa, ty lntrusted with
the administration of the United States
government in 1862 borrowed money
''on csll' from the people, ard, issu-
ing the treasury demand notes, made
them forced loan and created them a
currency, because they made them by
law ''a legal tender for all debts, pub
lie and private, except interest on the
public debt and duties on imports" as
you will see by reading the superscrip-
ton on any of these notes.
In 1852, when the present bonded
debt was commenced, an act of Con-
gress was passed which provided that
''all duties on imported goods" should
be "psid In CON-" and ''set aside as q
special fund.-" First, for the payment
of interest on the public debt; second,
as an annual sinking fund to pay the
principal of such debt.
Under this distinct pledge the Uaitei
States borrowed the money which il
now represented by our present bonded
debt.
Although in my judgment it was
unwise and derogatory to the dignity
and character of great government
like our own thus to pledge in special
revenues for the payment of its obliga
tions, yet the fact remaips-it was
done, and being done by the elected
agents of the government, we eau not
now disOwn or qualify it.
The American people saw fit to place
these agents in power, and ii they
acted improvidently, or un@isely, 1t is
too late now to disavow their author
ity. II is our misfortune, but the
maxim is respondent SUPERIOR the
principal is liable for the acts of his
agent within the scope of his authori-
,tion.
However unwise we may consider Il
that in 1862 the party in charge of the
Government declared by law the 1u-
ties on imports should be payable 'ru
coin," and ..set apart" that coin" a.
Especial fund" % Psy the interest
and create an annual sinking fund to
pay the principal of the national debt.
and expressly denied power to their
issues of treasury notes to pay such IN
terest, or such duties on imports, yet
the fact remains-they did so. The
result is that we, ss citizens OF the
Government, which is mot for day,
but for all time" IS we hope, must
keep these pledges inviolaie, in letter
and in spirit.
The best investment we can make of
our present gains and prosperity Is TO
establish q high and uBimpeachable
public credit; and let it be known and
proclaimed that when republic an Amer
lea gives her word, all her sons will
see that it is kept, no matter what IN
il causes.
