The louisville Exposition.

We did intend to write full account Of
our tip to the Louisville Exposition; Civ
ing a description Of whit we saw Mcre, the
country throngh which we passed, the
Mammoth Cave, 60. but other matters have
crowded our columns so much that we have
not had space, and must now content our
Rclf with only n short article on the subject.
We left Easlcy Station on Friday morning,
t2lst ult.) at 6 30 o'clock, A. NJ. and arrived
in Louisville on the morning following at
so a. NJ. We were detained in Atlanta
one hour, and the time gin which we made
the trip was about "a hours. The distance
is about 660 miles, and the rate Of speed
nade was about 23h miles per hour. This
is slow time compn, ed with that made by
some Of the Northern railroads, but is prct-
" good for Southern line.
In this State, Georgia and portion Of
Tennessee, the crop prospect is indeed
gloomy. Occasionally we passed through a
spot or by farm, which llnd been more
favored with the showers from heaven thnn
other sections and the crops looked we'll.
1t made us think Of onses in vast desert.
We travelled by the Louisville and Nash
Vile route and passed through Tennessee
and n portion Of Kentucky in the night, but
returned over that portion Of the road
during the day, and WAS thus en-,
nbled TO see TIC country along the entire
line by the light of day, except the portion
between Chattanooga and Murfreesb ORC,
which we nude both ways after night fall
In Kentucky, the corn crop, generally
looked we'll. The portion of the State over
which We travelled is level and fertile, with
one exception, nenr Eliznbcthtown, where
we passed through range of small mount
aims. Here there is a long tunnel on the
road, and the scenery is very fine. Tie
Louisville and Nashville road runs tor miles
up the Green river Valley, and from ap
pcnrnnCcs, i: is Il fine wheat and corn sec
tion.
But we could write columns upon the to-
geographical appearance of the country. inn
pressions made upon our mind rs 10 that
section compared with our own &C. but space
forbids. We were somewhat disappointed
with the Exposition. From what We had
seen published about it we were under the
impression that il greatly exccllcd the At
lnntn Exposition. Such is not the case.
The display of machinery, manufactured
fabrics, &c il very fine, and perhaps q little
superior to that at Atlanta, but the prod
ucts Of the soil, forest and mines of the
Southern States are not near equal to that
at Atlanta. At tho Atlanta Ex position, cv-
cry Southern State hnd q dennrim"nt md

We saw one painting, 10y Bicrstadt, which
was priced At S25,00. We also saw Henry
Csays Old carriage on exhibition, which was

>n charge OF the electric lights and kindly
explained TO us the method Of using the
lights. While in Louisville We crossed over
the Ohio river INTO Indiana and visited the
Southern branch Of the Penitentiary of lbot
state which is located at Jcircrsonvillc.
without making comparisons, we will sim
ply say that in our opinion the South Car.
o'ina fcni'entiary is the best kept insti,u
ton of the two. We attended the Confer.

at that time, and to which We had been Al

practlcabic ideas were advanced. ,bouoh
we obtained some valuable information
Louisville is n beautiful city md has
many fine residences and business houses
The population is about $50, 900.
On our return trip we stopped at Cave
City, IS miles South OF Louisville and VS.
hed the Mammoth Cave. The Cave is nine
miles from the railroad, and the trip from
'he STALLION was made in stages, over
hiily and rough road. There is q large and

MIR. EDIToR On Friday the 9th instant
I hnd the pleasure of Witnessing tho clos.

WAS the intention Of its builders that il
should be permanent. Miss Zachary com
M cnccd her school about eight months ago
and the results are very high compliment
to her tnct, perseverance, and energy; for
there has been an average daily attendance
of near fifty nine pupils. 1t was my pri
vllege TO hear the pupils examined in arlth
matte, geography and grammar. The ready
answers of the pupils showed TINT they had
been thoroughly drilled. Maps of the
United States, Europe and Asin, with their
principal cities were drawn on the black
board from memory, with wonderful oxnct.

The Proposed Enlargement of the C..

Inc proposed Enlargement of the C..
q. as Recommended by the Grand
Jury.
The Crowded condition Of our columns
has prevented an carli, T. publication of tho
presentment OF The Grand Jury than this
week. Their recommendation in references
to the disposal, by The County Commiss ion
ers. of the 10, and building, now used for
Offices of County Treasurer, Auditor and
School Commissioner, and the application of
the proceeds TO an enlargement OF tho Court
douse, meets our approval. We do not
suppose 1t will cost much more to enlarge
the Court House and provide Offices in TINT
building for the officers above named, thau
will be realized from tho sale o: the lot and
building mentioned. When the present
Court House was bull, 6fteen years ago,
the population Of Pickcns County was only
about ten thousand, and there was hut
little litigation amongst our people at that
time. The Offices for Treasurer Auditor
and School Commissioner were not provi-
ded for. 1t seems that the Commission
appointed 10 have erected the lublic
buildings for the County, did not take into
consideration the future increase OF popu-
lntion aud business in the County. lfihcy
did, perhaps, they tho"ght the people too
poor, at that time, TO pay more than the
buildings then cost.
But now our population is over 10000,
business in Court. has increased, perhaps,
in greater proportions, and our present g.
II. is entirely insufficient for the nccommo
dntion of all Of our citizens who attend
Court II is probable that the pOrposcd en-.
largcmcnt OF the G. II can be made with
out mn additional levy Of tnxcs. The "fcncc
nonpy" due from Anderson county, if il is
no, already provided to be otherwise dis
posed of, could be used for this purpose i'll
connection with the money received from
sale Of the lot and building above mention
ed. Then ifihe over payment, by the Conn-
ty, on the judgments on the Air Line Rail
rond bonds is ever recovered, that amount, II
necessary, might also be used But these arc
questions for :ho County Commissioners to
consider, AMI if they conclude to carry out
the recommendation Of the Grand Jury, we
presume they will first ascertain how much |
the proposed enlargement will cost and
where they are to gel the money. II maybe
necessary to procure some Legislation before
the recommendation cnn be carried out and
if so, the necessary Iinformntion should be
given our members Of the legislature before
imY or,ant question and We hope the Coun
ty Commissioners Will give it their prompt
und earnest consideration.

A'Card From Commissioner Barrett.
P1cKrNs, G.. II. s. c., October Srh, 1883

PIcKENs, G. II. S. c., Oct tohcr Srh, 1883.
Intthc Ne,cs OF the G!h instant you say:
| "Thc trccnville correspondent Of the Nrws
and Couric, has written n reply to Commits
sioncr Barretie denial Of croOkcdness in his
office, in which he states that Commission =
er's account against the Government for the
Inst quarter wns 81 900. Persons here who
| are familiar with tho affairs Of commission
crs can not understand or explain how any
such sum could have been lawfully earned.
The average fees. etc. to commissioners Of
cases Is snid to be $40. which would require
% cases to be heard to make tho 81 900, or
moro than case II day for three months"
The truth is, however, that my
account for said quarter is only about SS00-
less than that of some of the other commits
sioncrs-and the records in the District
Court Clerks office in Charleston will show
it. 1t follows. therefore, that said Grcen~
vllle correspondent is very wide of the mark.
In the same article you alludc to Bowie,
Nimmons and King having been arrested
and tried by me on different charges in the
month of April and May last, and in an edi
ioriNl Of the 5ih inst. you say that charges
against me, officially have been whispered

should demnnd an official investigation of
my proceedings md let the facts como out

M in my own justification. suppose You
arc not aware that in the month Of June
last an "cXnminer' Of the Department of
Justice remained here en- dmys inspecting
the Commissioners and Deputy Mnrshnls
ac!ings and doings. and examined my office
with special reference TO every rumor or
charge lhnt had been made against me; and
The result of that examination, "a the Off
Ger expressed himself to me rs well as 9TH
er gentlemen here and elswehere, was per-
fectly satisfactory. Moreover. the three men
above mentioned are residents Of this coun>
ty, md will, no doubt, sny that they were
not necdIessly harnsscd i'll being prosecuted
by ne.
In conclusion, will simply say. once for
all, that in the discharge of my official du>
ties ! have done no net in violation of law;
hnvc never made any charges for tees that
were not legal and proper, ami TINT no hu>
man being ever tried by me can justly com
plain of oppression. and if any her rumors
or charges of officinl misconduct nre inven-
ted, circulated or published against me, this
is my answer 10 them all. Mark this rs my
final deliverance. G. L. BARRETT.
