The Burke Election.
Mr. Editor : —Tuere was an equal number of
votes cast for Senator in Burke, at our late election,
and we have been anticipating the unpleasant ex
citement of another contest. It is now proposed,
however, to throw out the returns from two of the
districts for some slight informality ; and some of
the votes in other districts, on the ground that the
persons casting them had not paid their taxes. Tne
former, I think, would be decidedly unjust to those
districts. lam heartily in favdr of tne latter, how
ever. I hope there will be such a thorough invest!
gation of the matter, as wiil make a settled rule,
j in Burke at least) 1 hat no man shall vote till he
1 pays up all his taxes. It is a shame for men to wish
j to control the government by their votes, when they
) refuse to bear its burdens. “Taxation and repre
sentation are inseparable.” Before the revolution,
I we were taxed without being allowed to vote ; and
‘ we threw off the British yoke on account of it. —
j Shall we now allow men to vote without b-riag
j taxed?
Aa to tbe matter of informality, I believe the
amount of it is, that the magistrates administered
the oath only to the free holder, who sat with them,
considering themselves as already being under .
oath, and the oath was not attached to the tally j
ibeet. I believe that no one chargee that there was j
any unfairness in the manner of conducting the
election, or reporting the result. I believe the
Courts do uyi invalidate any instrument of writing
for w ant of form, provided it is sufficiently plain to
Indicate the intention of the parties. By reference
to the old Digest, it will be seen that these magis
trates acted in accordance with the law ae it wa a
few years back. Hotchkiss’ Digest (page 101) re
quires that the free-Uolderg only, shall be sworn,.
and says nothing about attaching the oath to the
tally sheet The magistrates having, in tLeir oath
of office, sworn to “faithfully and impartially dis
charge all the duties incumbent on them as Justices
of the Peace/’ and the holding of elections being
j inumerated as one of these duties, they are, to ail
! intents and purposes, acting under oath.
But, of late years, each Legislature fixes up a
plan ol iii) own and unless the magistiaten make
the study of law a regular business, it is impossible
to keep up with their perpetual changes. In some
districts, there are no magistrates, and consequently
no copies of the laws ; and there free holders have to
do the best they can, endeavoring to conduct the
election fairly.
On account of the high probability of elections
1 being informal, the Legislature in 1837, (Dec. 14,)
! passed a resolution requesting the Governor to fur
nish blank forms to the several Magistrates ; and an
a simple request seemed to prove ineffectual, an
act was parsed Bth February, 1854, making it the
duty of the Governor to furnish them to the Clerks
of tbe Inferior Court, and the duty of the Clerks to
urn eh them to the Magistrates. (See 33d page,
Law s ’53-’54.) Now, as our Clerk is usually prompt
in the performance of every duty which the laws
devolve on him, I think it very likely that the Gover
nor has forgotten to furnish them to him. Now, will
the Legislature have the audacity to throw out these
returns for informality, when their own appointee
Las tailed to furnish the forms ? Certainly not. If
a man direct his overseer to inlorm his negroes to
be sure to come a certain night for their week’s pro
visions, and he fails to inform them, will fco let them
starve for an overseer’s neglect? But this proposi
tion is so manifestly unjust, that I believe a inujori
ty of both parties will sternly oppose it. Much as: I
would dislike to see another bitter contest. 1 would
prefer it to such down-right injustice to about two
hundred voters.
I sincerely hope that the investigation with
regard to the non-tax-paying voters will be rigid
Year before last, only 093 polls were returned, of
which about 40 did not pay (being put on the nsol
vent list). I suppose there were about 5l) voters
over 00 years of age (who are not returned
as polls on the digest); and we thus have about 700
Jegal voters. Our returns, however, show about
900 votes polled. Two successive Grand Juries
have called attention to this subject; but thus far,
I have heard of no steps being taken to collect the
taxes due from delinquents, some of them, too, be
ing considerable property-holders. I believe if all
the taxes justly due the county for 10, 15 or 20 years
back could be collected, it would nearly pay our
public debt. Tbe records, except for the last two
years, are burnt; but I presume the Executive De
partment would furuish the copies in MiiledgeviUe
for information on this subject. lam not sufficient
ly acquainted with the law to know whether, not
having paid taxes is sufficient ground for throwing
out a vote. I only hope it may be. Let the inves
tigation be rigid and thorough, showing no favors
to high or low, rich or poor. 1 urge such an investi
gation, not knowing which candidate it may most
injure. Were Ia member of either party, I would
urge it with the same earnestness. I feel more anx
ious to see the laws properly administered, than for
the success of parties, as I do not expect the reign
of either to be productive of any great good to tbe
country. Justice.
Death of Mr. Custis. — It becomes our pain
ful duty to announce the decease of the venerable
George W ashington Paike Custis. the last of the
members of the family of Washington.
Mr. Custis died at Arlington, near this city, after
a brief illness, on the morning of the 10th instant,
iu the 77th year of his age. For several years he
had stood alone in his relations to the Father of his
Country, ever anxious, with filial reverence and
affection, to illustrate hs character, and from the
rich stores of his uever-faili. g memory to bring for
ward an annual tribute to his immortal worth.
Known and honored by his fellow-countrymen, his
departure will awaken universally a profound re
gret.
Born amid the great events of the Revolution, by
the death of his fnther, (Col. Custis, of the army,
and a son c drs. Washington by a former marriage.)
which occurred near the close of the war, he found
his home during childhood and youth at Mount Ver
non, where his manners were formed after the no
blest models ; and from the great worthies of that
period, frequent guests there, he received impres
sions of wisdom aud patriotism that were never ef
faced. Under the counsels of Washington he pur
sued his classical studies at Princeton, and when
deprived by death of his great guide and father,
(and soon after of his reverend grandmother,) he
devoted himself to literary and agricultural pur
suits on his ample estate of Arlington, the gift, by

relations of life, and whose irreparable loss, three
years ago, be continued with sorrow and affection
ate admiration, to bis final day, profoundly to de
plore. One daughter (Mrs. Lee, wife of Col. Robt
Lee, of the army,) and several grandchildren, sur

Mr. Custis was distinguished by an original ge
nius for eloquence, poetry, and the fine arts ; by h
knowledge of history, particularly the history ofthis
county; for great powers of conversation, for an
ever--ready and generous hospitality, for kindness
to the poor, for patriotism, for constancy ot friend
ship, and for a more than filial devotion to the
memory aud character of Washington. His early
speeches on the death of Gen. Lingan and the over
throw of Napoleon were every where read and ad
mired, even by those who dissented from the senti
ments, for the beauty cf tbeir conception and their
impassioned eloquence. These familiar with the
columns of this journal will not forget how largely
we and the country ar< indebted to the warm and
ever cheerful spirit of the deceased for many in
valuable reminiscences of Revolutionary history,
of the distinguished men of those times, and eepe
dally ot the private life of their glorious Chief in
the retirement of the shades of his home at Mount
Vernon.
Tboueands from this country and from foreign
lands who have visited Arlington to commune with
our departed fiiend, and look upon the touching
memorials there treasured up with care of him who
was first in the hearts of his countrymen, will not
forget the charm thrown over all by the ease, grace,
interest, and vivacity of the manners and conver
sation of him whose voice, alas! is Hilent now. The,
multitudes of our fellow-citizens accustomed, in the
heat of summer, to resort to the shades of Arlington
will hereafter miss that old man eloquent, who ever
extended to them a warm-hearted welcome and be
came partaker of their joy.
Long a believer in the great truths of Divine Re
velation, Mr. Cuitis turned to these for consolation
m his last days, and died in communiou with the
Protestant Episcopal Church.—JVari Intel.
Important Arrest.—There appears to be no
doubt that one, at least, of the bold plunderers of
the Subtreasury at Richmond. Virginia, has been
arrested ana caged. This is due almost wholly to
the vigilance of Constable Aquiila R. Allen, of this
city, who. profiting by the judicious use of a piece
of casual information which came to his ears, and
after obtaining the proper authority from the
Secretary of the Treasury, proceeded to Richmond,
and there found out that one of the parties who
l blew open and robbed the subtreasury chest at the
1 Richmond custom-house, was almost to a certainty,
an old acquaintance of his, named Wheeler, who
was arrested about two years for a similar feat com
raitted in Alexandria. Learning that Wheeler and
another man named Daguerris had come to this
i city. Allen telegraph from Richmond to Justice
Hollingahead to discover and arrest them ; every
effort to do so on that night failed. In the mean
i time Allen returned hither from Richmond, and was
at the cars at the Washington depot at 0 o'clock
yesterday morning He there discovered W heeler
sitting in an Alexandria omnibus on his way from
Baltimore South, and pointed him out to Justice
1 Holhngshead, who accordingly entered the omnibus
| and arrested him. He was taken to the Justice's
office and duly committed to our county jail, where
lie is at this moment. He does not acknowledge
his name to be Wheeler, but calls himself Robeit
Pulling. Wheeler has delivered up abut S3OO in
i gold, together with a handsome gold watch and a
j choice set of sketleton keys. Officer Alien, in com
pany with Constable Boss, went again to Baltimore
yesterday to endeavor to arrest Wheeler’s accomplice !
| and to obtain information touching the disposition
made of the money The presumption is that the
bulk of the money *taken from the Richmond Sub-
Treasury has teen buried. There were probably
three partit s engaged in the robbery, one of whom,
named Somerville, it is thought has gone South
trom Richmond. —Aefr. Intel .
Pensacola and Georgia Railroad—First
Cotton.— By invitation and in company with a
number of gentlemen, we made an excursion over
the Pensacola A Georgia Railroad, yesttiday even
mg. at tar as track laying has progressed—some
eight miles. The trip furnished substantial evi
dence that our great enterprise is oertainly “going
ahead, and that, too. with a steadiness that will
soon bring our neighboring county of Jefferson with
ia a few minutes ride of the Capital. The track
work being done with skid ana judgment, ana
the Superintendent Joseph X W hitner, Esq..)
thinks that he will be able henceforth to lay down
six nuiee of iron per month, at which rate the road
will probably be m the vicinity of Monuceiio by the
i Ist of January. .
The chief event of the occasion to which we refer,
w&s :he passage of forty-five bales of cotton over
the track This is the firtt cotton that has been
transported over the road, and the honor of being
*he first planter who has availed himself of this
means cf eending Ids produce to market belongs to
Francs Eppee, Esq . Mayor of this city, through
whose plantation the road passes. In compliment
to him these forty-five bales will be fowarded over
both roads to S\ Marts, free of change. —Flondta i

Municipal Election iu Baltimore —Riot and
Bloodshed.
Tbe election in Baltimore, ou Wednesday, for
mem here of the City Council, resulted iu the choice
of 19 Americans and 1 Democrat. The total num
ber of votes cast was f niy 14.667, while tlie vote of
the city last year, for President, was 26 771. The
Baltimore American says it was “a mere mockery
of the elective franchise, accompanied by riot and
bloodshed The Sun says, ‘‘disorder, not and
bloodshed have again disgraced tbe name of our
city, and we stand in the -ecord of yesterday’s hid
eou* proctediugs a blot upon the escutcheon qf
popular liberty s very mockery of political bide
peudence.” It appears that the fighting men of
both parties were out in full force, while tbo more
quiet aud peaceable portion of the voters abstained
Irom going to tbe poils. One of the most serious
riots of the day took place in tbe Fifth Ward, which
the American thus describes :
At about half-past 120 cloek yesterday an omni 1
bus, said to De from the Fourth ward, filled with
men, all of them armed, some of them with musket
Mopped on High street, near the Fifth ward *ila.
They rad not been there long, when another party,
most of them Irishmen, came from the Eigh'h ward,
and took their position on High etree f , near Hiflen,
where quite a sharp engagement took place be
tween Luem. On the core rof High and Hillen
s'reet a young man named Joseph E.nmart. one of
the Fourth ward party, fell severely wounded, a slug
shattering his left thigh in a terrible manner. He
was taken to I>r. Thom’s office, on Front street,
j woere be was attended by Dr. Hinlze. and shortly
j after remov and to the Central Station House, when
j his limb wes dressed, though it was t ie opinion of j
■ his physician that amputation would be necessary. ‘
Several others were slightly wounded, and some had
balls and elugc to pass t i r ough their clMhing, one j
’ oung man having the thick padded collar of his
coat tore hi shreds by a slug. A boy about 15 years i
of age also had a brass slug lodged ir his cheek.
Whilst this fight was progressing Information of
il was brought by a woman to the Central Station,
• and a force of about fitly police were immediately
despatched to arrest the rioters WThey started up
Holiday street and crossed the Hillen s-re<-ft bridge,
and divided or. the corner of Front aud Hillen, one
■ party going around by way o Gay street, and the
other through Front to French street, under the
command of riargeant Wi’liam Jordon. On turning
from Front street into French all was quiet, and j
they passed along quieriy until they reached the 1
corner of French and Boreu streets, when a half do
zen men with muskets appeared at the third story
window of Jackson Hall, and commenced firing at
them. Their ccmm&uder, Barge ant Jordon, 1 11
mortally wounded, and two others, officers Sullivan
and Georgia Thomas, were slightly wounded. Their
arms being insufficient to reach their assailants they
carried off tbe wounded, aud returned to the Station
House for re inforcements.
The ball took effect on Sargeaul Jordon in the
pit of the stomach, passing down diagonally, lie
was carried to the apothecary story of J. P Wil
liamson, on Gay street. The services of Drs. Whit
ridge, hmitn and De Lowery were immediately se
cured, but tLey pr nounced him beyond the reach
of medical aid. He lived only an hour aud a half
and at 2 o’clock uis lifeless body was *aken home to
his wife and children.
The Sun eays:
The police charged on Jackson Half in front of
which waa a loaded swivel, which they captured.
With it was a man named John Fossitt who was
arrested. In the house they arrested John Ryan,
Michael Dougherty, John Burns. James Murray,
George Bradley, Michael Cox, Michael J. Grady,
Joon Carrigan. Patrick Fitzpatrick, and a man
named McFarland. John Burns was arrested on the
charge of attempting to shoot officer Thomas Deu
nison from a window of Jack-on Hall, and who es
caped by the Hashing of tbe powder in the pan.—
Me Far-and was arrested on the ch ige of attempt
ing to shoot police officer Win. Pindell. The others
were held without bail for the killing ol Sargeaut
J rdon.
Besides the swivel, the officers took from the
house twelve or fourteen rifles, a keg of nails, and
a large iron spear, all of which were taken to the
police statio;u When it had become known that
Sergeant Jordan was killed, a large party went to
the police station, where the arrested parties were
in custody, aud were clamorous for tne delivery of
the prisoners, that they might execute summary
vengeance upon them.
Mr. Jordan was a faithful and efficient officer, and
his bearing was always geutlencauly and courteous.
He had many and strong friends, and his death will
be a lop? to the department not t!0 easily to be
supplied.
In Ihe Eighth ward, disgraceful scenes occured,
which are thus described by the Sun:
In the Eighth ward a 1 was very quiet during the
forenoon, aud up to half past tour iu the afternoon.
At that time police officer Wm. Kidd was passing
th 9 polls, and when he reached the corner of Euger
street turned and again started down Ensor street.
A young man of his acquaintance was ait ting on
the cellar door near the wiudow where the judges
received the votes. To him Mr. Kidd spoke, and
they started down the street together. They had
proceeded as far as the corner of Webb street, when
there was a cry to rally, and immediately an assult
was made on the officer and he was badly beaten on
the head and face with revolvers, and one of the
skirts of his coat was torn off. Iu the melee he was
knocked down, and while he was on tbe ground a
young man ran up, placed a revolver to his bead
and pulled the trigger. The cap snapped, and be
fore he had the opportunity to make a second at
tempt the weapon was wres ed from him by a citi
zen who w as present.
Mr. Kidd then got up aud ran for the open door
of a house in Webb street, but the inmates became
alarmed and closed the door against him. At that
moment a pistol was fired at him, which entered his
olothng in the back wit bout touching his person. A
second shot was then fired, when Kidd put h s hand
on his back and staggered forward. He then ran
down Ensor street as tar as Chew, one of his assail
ants hanging ou to him. There he fell, and was ta
ken up and carried to a house near by. It was
found that the ball had penetrated tbe spinal region
and touched the kidneys. The charge from the first
pistol, a larce slug, was found on the removal of his
clothing. His condition is said to be critical.
As soon as the assault was made known at the
station ouse, & large body of rolice officers, armed
with muskets, were marched to the polls, but there
was no further difficulty that we could hear ot The
last shot is said to have been fired by a youth, of
some eighteen years, and the entire assault was en
tirely uuprovoked. A young man, John Winters,
was very severely injured, his right hand having
been horrible lacerated by the explosion of a pistol
which he discharged. A man named Armstrong
was pursued, and to effect his eacape jumped from
a second story window of a house on Ensor street.
The tall injured him so much that it was thought for
a time that it would be impossible for him to recov
er. lie was takeu to the middle district police sta
tion, where he had a slight heinorhage of the lungs.
The injury is internal and the result is yet doubtful.
Another riot took place a’ the corner of Baltimore
and I’.utaw streets, between Beveral gangs of young
men and the members or adherents of the New
Market Engine Company. Shota were exchanged,
but ‘ person was injured. The police finally took
possession of the engine house.
Arrival of the Vanderbilt.
New York, Oct. 15.—Tlie steamer Vanderbilt,
from Liverpool, has arrived with dates to the 3d
hist.
The steamer Arago arrived at Cowes on the 2d.
The Vanderbilt brings nearly 100 passengers and
$20,000 in specie. She reports having encountered
on the 9th a terrific gale which lasted ‘36 hours.
London, Faiday evening.—The funds opened to
day animated aDd most descriptions experienced a
rise, but the tone woe -0011 charged by a heavy sale
of consols. In tlie discount market the demand was
active.
Foreign exchanges are unaltered, and not with
standing the large arrivals of gold from Australia
the supply is insufficient to meet the Continental
demand, and the prospect is discouragin': with re
gard to the immediate course of the money market.
Since the reductions of t lie rates of di- count i 1 July,
the buillion in the Rank of England has pecreased
X 000,000 sterling.
The intensity of the panic in New York has in
duced almost a total suspension of specie remittan
ces from that side, but with the return of confidence
not only will the usual shipments be. resumed, but
the oid arrears will be mel. It may be hoped there
fore, that during the next two or three months the
receipts from that quarter will at leas, suffice, with
ihe supply from Australia, to keep the sto ;k in the
Bank of England from further reduction.

The Bacx Ttack.—A curious movement of the
underground emigration is taking piace. Canada,
which has been the city of refuge for runaway ne
groes, ia beginning to spew* them out. The thrift
lessnese and wretched morals of the blacks have
proved too much for Canadian philanthropy. The
Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindealer says that th atearrser j
Telegraph brings bac k fioru Canada, on every trip,
families of negroes who have formerly tied to the ,
Provinces from the States. They describe the lift- <
and condition of the blacks in Canada as miserable .
in the extreme. They are principally from Canada
West. Ohio and Michigan are likely to have large
accessions to their negro population from that
source. The Canadians have shown a disposition
in their Parliament and in every day transact'.ons to
discourage the negro population coming to or remain
ing in the Province.
This is the beginning of u movement which will
be followed by important results. The runaway
negro population will be thrown back upon the free
States, and the same causes which induce Canada
to get rid of them, will operate ic Ohio, Michigan,
and other nan-slaveholding communities. The pro
prietors of the underground 1 ailroad will soon dis -
cover that it won’t pay, and that will put an end to
their pLilantrophy. —Richmond Dispatch,

We do not find much charge in the aspect of the
street this morning. We think that things generally
are working toward improvement. The embargo
on trade is gradually waxing less severe. From
the West we learn, in well informed quarters, that
produce is being forwarded in large quantities.
Part ies with some means are ou the spot making
the necessary advances, and shipping it lor the
seaboard. Agents from some of our mercantile
firms are also receiving the amounts due in grains,
and forwarding it to the market, and will thus pro
b ib’.v expedite materially a realization of a portion
of the indebtedness to tu.m.
The transactions at the clearing house show a
gradual increase in the amount of busines* transact
ing. The exchanges 011 Thursday were about eight,
millions, 011 Kriday a little over nine millions, and
to-day they are $10,259,792 55. The balances paid
to-day were $867,622 14. Anew column io fco be
added to the bank statement to he made up on
Monday, to show the amount of currency cn hand
by the several bal ks. A meeting was be ng held
this afternoon to consider tie application of the
Grocers’Bank for readmisfeion to the Association. 1
It is now the genera understanding that the Gov- I
ernor will not call a special session of the Legisla- !

refusal to do so.

two weeks since a party f Oh venues attacked
one of Messrs. Russel&. Waddel's trains, losded
with provisio sand arms. The teamsters seeing
them approach, becau e panic stricken and fled,
leaving everything in possession of the Indians, who
iuatanlly commenced rifling tlie wagons, and finding
one loaded with rifles and ammunition, immediate
ly suppled their selves. AH the guns they could not
carry with them, they broke across the tires of tbe
wagon wheels, completely destroying them. The
teamster., seeing the Indians scattered about the
tain, rallied and returnc , when the Cheyennes re
treated, cany ug off'with them ninety-eight rifles;
but they had time to carry away very little of the
ammunition.
The success which has attended their depredations
of late has emboldened them, anil as they have
three of their prisoners in For? Kearny, it is sup
posed that they will make an attempt to rescue
them. If so, they will be warmly received, as one
company of infantry is stati >ne# there, and the Fort
is defended by eigh pieces of heavy field ordnance.

| Washington, Oct;. 19.—A letter lia*? been receiv’
j ed in this city, from V*’ P. Landon one cf the clerks
whom the late Surveyor G ner&l Burr left in charge
I of the office, when he, for his own safety, left the
‘ Territory of Utah lasL spring. wae,on the 18th
I of September, at Placerville, California. In giv
ing an account of his escape from Salt Lake city,
he says, that while engaged in conversation with a
party of emigrants, he was assaulted by a gang of
Mormon?, led on by a fellow named Dick Pettit
and a ruffian associate, who, without cause, severe
ly beat him with stones and clubs. lie was scarce
ly able to reach home iu consequence of his wounds-
The same afternoon they attacked the Deputy Sur
veyor, Mogo, by stoning him.
Landon was driven from home at night, leaving
his wife and child at Salt Lake city. After adroit
ly eluding his armed pursuers, he reached Placer
ville iu the most distressing condition. He says he
met on the road the Indian, Pe*cr, who used fre
quently to visit the Surveyor General's office. Pe
ter informed him that Brigham Young had sent him
out to get horses and carbines. The Indian spared
his life, because he had o i several occasions given
him red paint. Landon had not long parted from
him, before the Indian shot a man with four balls.
The man escaped, though much injured.
Another clerk, Mi Wilson, iu the Surveyor Gene
ral’s office, was also attacked by tho Mormons ;
they roughly seized him, tearing him away from his
family. They commanded him to “come along and
make no fuss, ,? cr they would “d—d soon show him
what they were going to do with him.”
Mr. Landon concludes by eaying, that all the
Mormons have left Placerville and Carson Valley
for the purpose of defending “Z ion.”
Mr. Landon’s letter thrills .with interest. It will
belaid before the Government.

PRESENTMENTS.
Grand Jury, for the first week of tho
prescut term of the Superior Court for the ccuuty of
Richmond, having in charge snob matters and things
given ua by his Honor, the Judge, do make tho following
presentments :
We llav* examined the Jail, and find in it six -vhitc
and thirteen black primners. The situation of these
pc- plo is as comfortable as the law will allow. Tho
buiidiog is kept D eat and clean—highly creditable to the
keeper In our cxainiuati™ of tho Ordinary’s offico
we find some records dati gas far back as 1780. These
records are con’ained in small books (not booed) with-
out page or index. The importance of preserving the
records o: the Ordinary s office, we think would justify
the interior Court in having the old records transcribed,
paged, indexed and bound. We hope this no ice of the
situation of records will recoive the attention their im.
portaneedeseives. Toe records and books of the Ordi
nary are well kept, affording al- information readily to
those who may desire it. The Ordinary, who is Com
mtssioncr-for the Poor School Fund, exhibits his accounts
clearly and correctly kept, from which it appears, in
1556. five thousand six hundred and twenty-one dollars
ana forty-flve cents, was received and paid out for edu
purposes.
We are gratified to bo able to report that the Clerk s
office oi the Superior and Interior Courts, has, under tho
industry aud management of the pre;ent Clerk, been
put ia very complete order ; all the papers, for many
years back, lave been carefully assorted, and each par*
cel labelled neatly, and the date put on them, by which
a ready eferenee can always be obtained, to anything
oonnectod with the office.
The roads are in only passable order. In the remote
parts r.f the county, they have not received that atten
tion they have required. r lhe bridges are in good order,
with the exception of the one across Butler’s creek at
the Bellvilie Factory, which is impassable, and should
receive imraed*ate attention.
1 he Receiver of Tax Retnrua has laid before us a list
ot the children berweeu the ages of eight and sixteen
v'e rs. Fro.a this list, there arc 1357 children entitled to
the benefit of the School Fund. Tue returns of the Ko
ceiver is not so tul! as it should be—more industry on the
part of that official is necessary, iu order to embrace all
tho children in the county.
We recommend the . opolatment, by our Legislature
of a Board of Education this count y, bo no teacher shall
Collect a bill for tuition, out of the public fund, who 1 as
not obtained a certificate from this Board for having
the necessary qualifications.
We also recommend the passage of a law prohibiting
iho sale of Spirit r us Liquors at the Precincts of this
county on Election days.
The Grand Jury deem it their duty to notice the pre
sent extraorc iuary position of commercial a flairs. Com
par&uvely free from debt, with abundant means of ex
port, the country has been suddenly involved in a panic,
which has prostrated all branches of industry. Jn such
a crisis, when all the larger cities have yielded to the
pressure, and ceased to pay their debts in legal currency,
the Jury regard the suspension of specie paymen a by
our Banks, as not onlyjustifiable, but absolutely neces’
sary for tho safety of the commercial community, and
they would hope that this arrangement will continue un-
til the necessary facilities can be furnished for sending
forward the incoming crop—the export of which, they
trust, will restore a sound currency and give a uew im.
pulse to the public prosperity.
We return our thanks to his Honor, the Judge, and to
the Attorney General, for their assistance aud co-opera
tion in the discharge of our duties.

Editor :—Wil'you please inform your readers that the
Merchants of Charleston, having entire confidence in tho
solvency of the suspended Banks of Georgia and Bout.h
Carolina, will receive their t otes at par value, in pay
ment ofmerchanal.se and dues. The *• Wild Cat” Banks,
which you have been fighting so hard, of course, will he
excluded There is to be a meeting this evening of tho
Banks, to make such regulations as will prevent an over
isßue of their hills, and to take active measures for an
early resumption of specie payment. It seems absolute*
ly necessary that the produce of the country should be
paid for in suspended Banknotes; i*u,t these bills can be
converted into current New York fuuds at a small loss of
4to 1 percent. Our mer ;hants have, in this great com
mercial struggle, stood firm. This shows that they have
not been engaged in wild speculations. There will be
no failures here of any magnitude.
