The Board Of Trade met yesterday afternoon
and appointed two committees, one to select

to entertain the committee who will be here
on the 23d instant, te examine the place and
make reports to headquarters. The commit.
tee sent out decided on a. beautiful situation
about mile from town on the Greenwood.
Laurens and Spartanburg Railroad, on the
land of Mr.. B. +. Reynolds, who in case the
encampment Is brought here will lease TWEEN"
ty-flve acres Of the land for twenty years to

age, our young friend had made his peace
with Cod, and we trust has gone to sing the
praises OF his master on high. He has had
several hemorrhages from the lungs and spent
the last two winters In Florida, in hopes of
improving, and to all appearances had, but

COURT LADIES.
The Race for Congress.

A large number Of prominent gentlemen
have been mentioned as probable candidates
for Congress from this District, the latest and
perhaps the strongest being the Hon. j. s.
Cothran, the present Judge OF this Circuit.
And the mention OF Judge Cothran's name
has excited some OF the editors Of Anderson
and Newberry counties. They object 10 Mr.,
Cothran because he is n Judge and m Able
willie man. We fxil to see why either Of these
things should disqualify him rs Congressman,
They say that Abbeville Is determined ta
have the Congressman and for this reason a
Circuit Judge is brought ou:. They recognize
the fact that Judge Cothran Is strong, but they
either do not see or do not admit the more I'M
portant fact that he is strong not by reason OF
being a Circuit Judge, but by reason OF his
ability and his eminent fitness for the posi-
tSnn- ,.,
But it is useless to argue about this matter
The people of Abbeville county have express
cd themselves in favor of primary election
to select a Congressman. If this plan Is de-
cided upon the people will have an opportuni
ty of deciding for themselves who they wan,
10 represent them in Congress. And we have
no doubt that the intelligent people OF The
several counties in the district will select q
man with reference to his qualifications anc
regardless Of whether he Is a farmer or CIR
cult Judge, or whether he resides in Newber
ry, Anderson, Pickens, Oconee or AbbeVillt
county,

Grand Jury PresentInent.
NINETYSIX, June IL. 1856,

To the Honorable j. B. Kershav, Pre-
siding Judge:
Being required by law to make care
full examination of the several County
Offices, at least once during our term o.
service, the Grand Jury, i'll its Present
ment at the February term of Court
suggested that this be done, during the
interval between that and the next ses-
sion of the Court, by Committee oi
their body, and it was so ordered. This
Committee, composed of the Foreman,
Joel S. Bailey and p. b. Speed met for
this purpose on the 10th April and gave
three days Of close attention to this work.
The books in the Clerks Office were in
good order, and all papers, up to the
date of our visit, had been either filed or
recorded, under the admirable system
therefor already noticed by US. The
money, in any way, coming into the
hands of the Clerk, was satisfactorily ac-
counted for by vouchers or by its actual
production. Tho bond Of this officer has
been duly strengthened as previously re-
commended. We find fre-proof safe
in tho Clerks office which we would ad-
wise that the County Commissioners be
authorized to sell, rs not needed.
The Sheriff, as did all the other public
officers, afforded us every facility for our
examination. His books are we'll kept,
his papers in good order, and we found
funds on hand to correspond with his ac-
counts as looked into by MS. lie needs
good desk, III which can be locked
up important papers, and we would
recommend that such be furnished.
Much having been said in the news
papers from other sections of the
State as to the cost of transportation
of prisoners to the Penltentiary we, as to
a matter of public interest, looked care
fully into the charges on this account for
the past four years. We find that the av-
erage cost, including expenses of every
description, has been Sl1.4O per capita,
and Of this amount the fees Of the Sheriff
do not exceed ten per cent.
