Court.

I =. - U. i Il '
Court conyeHSd last Monday nsoSSaing,
Judge Witherapooa presiding siateeh
Grand Jurors answered to the F3ti call,
and %eiS sworn.
Several bills were handed TO fhS Grand
jury, and his Honor proceeded TO deliy-
or his charge. The first duty Of the iu-
ry is to examine the bills handed them
oy the Solicitor. That they must rom
ember the oaths they had taken to make
dlligont inquiry into all matters which
might coihe before them; that every thing
which transpired in their room should be
kept saeredly secret.
Tho duties of this jury does not cease
with this term of the court, but their
term OF office was for the year, and if any
member knew Of any violations of law to
bring It to the attention of the jury, and
the duty of the jury is 10 bring the often
der before the court. Office of informer
was all odious one, but the jury were in
no sense such inform6rs, but they are
sworn solemnly to bring all violations OF
the law which had been made for the pro-
lection of society, to the intention of the
court
1t is against the law to sell whiskey
without license, and il they knew of
any One, no matter who it is, it is their
duty to bring the attention of the court
to the fact.
Whatever the individual views of the
jury might Be, these could not be consulted,
but the law against whiSkey and CARRYING
concealed weapons must be enforced.
These are Wholesome laws, and if they are
not enfotccd it is the fault of the court
and jufies
1t is the business of tile jury to scru-
tinize closely the conduct of the county
officials, and see that they are discharg-
ing the duties of their respective offices.
10 see whether the affairs Of the county
are properly and faithfully administered
by the County Commissioners. That
bridges shoIld be kept in good repair fol
II anyone sustains an injury from bad
bridge the county would have the dainago
to pay,
1t is the duty of the jury to see that th.
Trial Justices are faithful and efficient
that they keep a proper tgcofd of thei1
proceedings.
The jury should also look into the efflcien
cy OF the bonds given by the various coun'
ty officers. These bonds might be good nj
one time and then become insufficient fol
tho protection Of the public.
The charge is not fully reported but
was able and exhaustive and received the
undivided attention of the intelligent and
certainly efficient jury to which 1t was di-
rected
Truc bills were. found in the Following
cases: State vs.. Rosa Blake, arson; State
VS.. Albert Byrd, perjury; State vs. j p!
Looper and james Alton, selling whskay;
State VS.. j. Lyde Thomson, assault and
resisting an officer and carrying concealed
weapons; State VS. Jacob Griffin, assault
and battery; State vs. A l.. Beacham ar
son.
Rosa Blake was found not guilty Mcsqrs.
LuCper and Alton were found guilty. Rest
OF the proceedings will be given next
week; Not much probability Of an extra
session.

A eie Jolnt stoek corapaslg.

Oar esteemed oSntemp tRs News |
and Courier, seems to endorse, - 4 con-
siderable extent, the views 81 sobo of it's
correspondents, who thinks that repre-
sentstion in the Legislature sheald be
based on the taxable properly III each
county. If we did not think it "a little
unfair, we would say that this plan of
representation would give Charleston
county. about sixteen. menb8rs in the
General Assembly. 1t is argued that
this plan would be an effective safe
guard against tho future domination of
the colored people in this State, who
when they were IN power taxed unmer-
cifully and then sQuanderod the taxes.
Every thinking man must admit that
there is danger here, but it can Be aver
ted by that Vigilance which must arise
from the mere knowledge of it's existence.
But however great this dagger is, it
could not equal in it's consequences the
danger attending such q complete change
In the spirit of our constitution. II rep-
resentatlon were based upon the taxable
property in each county our State Gov
ernment would then Ire merely joint
stock company, ard at the annual ses-
slons of the Legislature they might sim
ply declare dividends. This kind OF
government sometimes works the great
Ell hardships, whcro it is in force only on
q small scalo. Sometimes when man
owes just about rs many debts rs he has
assets, and somo one is about to suo him
he makes m assignment in good faith
for tho benefit of his creditors, but il
generally turns out that it is only for the
benefit Of his largest creditors; for when
the creditors meet tho man who owns
the biggest account votes themost, votes
in proportion to his claim, and he goner
ally votes some scheme on the meeting
which rebounds to his gain, but very
much to the little mans loss.
This plan would place Intelligent, pa
triotic craftsmanship Mt q discount and
tho wealth Of n rich county at premi
nm. Properly managed, wealth is like
n snow ball, tho larger it is the faster il
COWS; SO the rich oounties might grow
richer, and tho poor counties poorer.
Several Of the upper counties might
discover gold mines inoxhaustiblo in
their rich treasure, and when they So
cured their increased representation,
they might exempt these mines from
state taxes for IN indefinite period
some what after the maDner Of the facto,
ry question.
1t will take so7cral moro years of car
pet-rag oppression to work change 80
novel, and one TINT would give rise to
complications which the acutest reason
ing would not touch.

"a SOLDIER Homet

a. Washington correspondent of
the. News and Courier, under date
of 7th ihst,, says:
while THIS scene was Being en-.
acteda very different surprise was
IN preparation to demonstrate that
the war was really over, and that
the people Of the United States were
becoming tired Of the continual
wrangle over the issues which were
settled in 1866. After obtaining
recognition subsequent to the Logan
Voorhees, ihcident, Senator Blair, of
New Hampshire, introduced peti-
ton, nunerously signed by ex-Union
soldiers OF the north, urging the es-
tabl,sh1nent of u homo for INDECENT
ex-Confederate soldiers. AS a token
of the growth Of sentiment fevor-
able to this measure there was no
opposition when the New Hampshire
Senator, WHO was q gallant soldier
III the la5e struggle, moved that the
petition be printed in the Congress-
ionh Record. Thus one by one, the
aniuositios engendored by the re
rebellion are being eliminated, and
the bloody shirt is rapidly becoming
u bleached garment"
This shows that harmony is tho
order of tho day, but we apprehcnd
that things will have to be far more
harmonious than at present before
anything Of the kind can be crystal
lied into law. Willis it is cause for
conSratulation to see sentiments OF
so much magnaniuni'y ccming from
such 81 source, y,;t we iea,, that there
will not be many Confederate sol
diers to enjoy the comforts of the
home, BY the time il is provided.

The Presidential Succession.

Mr.. Hoar thinks the best plan against
Accidents to presidents is to allow each
member of the cabinet in order, to talk @
hts turn in the Office of president, in the
event of the death or removal of Office of
the chief magistrate. To this method if
sooms there can bo no valid objection.
Each election would thon insure the po-
lltIcal complexion of the Government for
four years.
Mr.. Randall on tho other hand, thinks
1t would be best for tho members of the
college of electors to hold Office for the
term OF four years, SO they would be
ready at any time it might become noe
essary, to make now president. This
plan would meet with no objection
except i'll the college itself, the members
OF which might, i'll the mean time, be
hankering after something elso.

Food And Drintt.

Last week we published an act pa3sed
py the Legislature entitled can Act to
present and punish tho adulteration Of
food and drink, and the sale of u3fit md
nnWholesomear articles Of food and drink "
-Lhls measure, We think, WAS introlucc,l
by some members of tho Charleston
delegation. Its prime object may have
peen to correct some abnsCs in the mar
kets Of Charleston and other ciiio, which
may have been practiced in tho sale of
articles of food. Itaeems, however. that
IL has far more extensive and uscful
application. Complaints in regard TO
the adulteration Of articles of food hayo
not Deen near so general, n8 complaints
In regard to the adu]toration Of nrticloa
OF drunk. Not that eating is not 50 gen
orally practjced as drinking, but articles
OF drink are adulterato1 with freater
1aollity than articles Of food, and the
adGlteration Of liquors is less liable to be
detected.
1t may not be generally understood
shat the act applies to ''pop-skull" whis.
Key, but section reads as follows;
SEo. 2. Whoever shall fraudulently
nouleeratH, or cause to bo adulterated for
SIe purpose OF sale, or have in his pos
SESSION with intent to sell, or offer for
30 auulterated, shall be guilty of mis-
9nlo"lorJ and upon conviction thereof;
In court of competent inrisdiot;n,l'
shall be punished by fine or imnriaor'
meut, not exceeding one hundred dollars
flne or thirty days imprisonment Ana
The articles so adulteIated shall be for,
feited and destroyed.
This is certainly in the interest Of tho
drinking men, and in the direction Of
refoTin. II any one allows himself to be
imposed upon in the matter of drink, il
is his own fault; for the law says we
shall have pufe whiskey. It is far pref
cradle to have q good and pure article of
q bad thing, than to have itbadly mixed.
