The “banner” counties are named as follows in the Commonwealth: In Bulloch, McDuffie, Montgomery, Webster, Wilkes, Wilkinson, Miller, not a vote was cast for Jonathan Norcross for Governor. Irwin, Ra bun, Jefferson, Dodge, Colombia, furnished one each. Fulton county, so far, has cast the largest vote for Colquitt. Houston comes next. For Clerk of the House. The Columbus Times has the fol lowing good words to say of the pros pects of our candidate for Clerk of the next House of Representatives. “We are glad to notice the chances of our friend, Judge Wm. B. Butt, of Marion, for the Clerkship of the Legislature brightening. There is no gentleman in the State who would make a more efficient officer, and none upon whom tho honors of the office would set more worthily. Ife is the only formidable applicant we havo yet heard of, and no donbt his success is certain. He is a lawyer of ability, and is at present Judge of the Marion County Court. We hope the members of the Legislature will honor a noble man and clever gentle man by electing him. GENERAL PRESENTMENTS OF THE GRAND JURY OcloberTerm of Superior Court of Marion County. We the Grand Jury, drawn, sworn and empanelled lor the October term of the Superior Court of Marion Coun ty, beg leave to make these our General Presentments. Wo find, by investigation, that all the market roads in the county arc in passable condition and that the Com missioners have fully discharged their duty, except the commissioners of the Tazewell District. We find on ex amination that a bridge, over Bridge Creek at the old Hollis Mills, (which is under bonds,) is in bad condition, would request them to have the same put in good repair. The bridges are in good repair throughout the coun ty, with this exception. Public Buildings. The committee appointed to exam ine the public buildings of the coun ty, report that the Court nouso is in good order. AVe find the steps to the inclosure in bad condition and recommend new ones. We find the Jail House in very bad condition and think it a disgrace to the county. Official Records. We find the Books of the Justice of the Peace and Notaries Public well kept. Wo also find the books of the Judge of Ordinary and the Clerk of the Superior Court, neatly and correctly kept, reflecting great credit and prajse upon Hon. Jas. M. Lowe and Thou. B. Lumpkin. County Treasury Books. We havo examined the books of the County Treasury nnd find them j neatly and properly kept, and would j give it as our opinion that tho conn- [ jy should consider herself fortunate in having at the head of her finance so worthy an officer.
