The Grand Jury for tho present term submit the following general presentments: We congratulate the people of the county upon the improved state of the public morals. Very few infrac tions of the law have been brought to our notice; and those were mere mis demeanors. \\ e find the public roads in good condition, with <he single exception of the road from Ivey’s mill to the county line, known as the 'Williams burg road. The Courthouse and jail are iu good condition. The Ordinary’s and Clerk’s offices need furniture, which we recommend be furnished. We recommend that inasmuch us our Commissioners have gone to the expense of buying two large iron safes, which arc now standing iu the Courthouse empty, that the Ordina ry and Clerk bo required to keep the records of tiie county in them. Wo recommend that the window shutters, uudorpiuing and flooring of tho jailor’s house be repaired ; and no other repairs be made for the present. The bridge at Couch’s mill and tho one over Cooiawahce creek, uoar Xewton, are in nood of repairs. After revising tho list of paupers vre flud fourteen names left who are. in our opinion, entitled to aid. Upon an examination of the tax digest we find that one hundred and fourteen persons in different parts of tho county havo given in their prop erty for loss than wo suppose it to be worth. We have marked on the di- gost what wo think to be ttio true valuo of the same, aud recommend that iu future the Tax Receiver he governed by this valuation. Clerk's books havo been examined and found to bo kept with much neat ness and precision, but wo recom- mond ia the future that he keep a record of tho fees’ received by him. The Ordinary’s books examined and found as a general thing to be prop erly kept. The Shorift'of the county makes su affidavit before us that he has no pub lic funds on hand. Also that his books have been taken from his office and it ia impossible for him to find out their whereabouts. Tho book of the jailor has been iuapocted and we find it kept correctly and willi much neatness. PINANOK... We flud that tho Board of County Commissioners havo passed orders during the past six mouths to the amount of $1,371.50 Amount script May term Su perior Court 386.75 Amount to be paid out on enntraota made for build ing and repairing bridges . 1,320.00 Amount standing indebted ness May term 1,892.30 the building ot the bridges ovn K cel’s creek. I lireiiiiiKtiinees con him i eil with this letting arc calculated l< implicate tbe Commissioners in the stt-pieioli of being beneficiaries. It further appears that responsible par ties wore desirous of taking the con tract to Iniilil thi* bridge, and to that end attended a meeting of tlie hoard ; asked when the contract was to In let, and proposed in an informal way to do the work for $150. It wassttb- sequently let without being advertis ed, and without'the knowledge ot these parties, and while it appears to have been .bid off by nn'ont-idor I In fants art* that one of tbe Commission ers built tbe bridge, anti was paid tin bum of $200 for the work. We find further that the -urn of $-'i3 was paid for replacing tin- bridge over Cools- wahee creek, on the Albany road, af ter the damage of high water last spring, and lint the actual cost to the eoti’raelor was $21.50; and that Mu sa me was let out without being ad vcrliscd, hs the law requires. W< find tiiat the. Board of .Commission ers ordered the Tax Collector, in the month of November, 1S79, to refund to II. Hobbs anil clients $207.05, paid in as tax by them for the year 1877: and till! reason given was that the tax levied in 1877 was in excess of the amount allowed bv tbe code, aud that parties enjoined the Collector ami were relieved. But the facts arc that Hobbs ami clients failed to maki themselves parties to this bill, ami were not, in our opinion, entitled to relief any more than other citizens ot the county who had paid their taxes previous to the filing of this bill. We recommend that legal steps be taken to receive this money. Otic of the board, to-wit: H. G. Lamar, having resigned we respect fully ruqticslcd the resignation of Mr. G. T. West, that wo might reorganize the board, but he positively refused to do so. Tiie Ordinary, who is cx- oflkio a member of the hoard, ap pointed Witt. J. Jeffers to fill the va cancy, which iipp-dutment we have confirmed. In returning thanks to Ilis Honor Judge Hood for courtesy to this body we would especially thank him for and commend to tiie citizens ol. the county the charge delivered to the jury at the commencement of the term, a charge so explicit and com prehensive, so logically and forcibly delivered that we were left in no doubt as to the proper dischargo of our duties. If presiding Judges would always be thus pains-taking in their charges and Grand Juries would perform their duties without tear or favor we would not only have less of crime but a higher standard of pub lic morals. T-j the Solicitor-General and to Hon. I. A. Bush, acting Solicitor dur ing the absence of Col. W. O. Flem ing, we are under obligations for prompt attention and counsel. We request that these presentments bo published ia the Albany News. Rf.ubbb Jests, Foreman. Geo L Bell.

At the May term of the court tho Grand Jury recommended that the art of 1877, under which our present Board of Commissioners wns organ ized, be repealed, and that the net of 1875 be reenacted. Unfortunately tliia waa not done, and we find our- selvea under the necessity of submit ting to the present plan until the next meeting of the General Assembly.
