We have seen several letters from differ** ent parties in New York proposing to sell counterfeit cu|fency, but the one shown ns yesterday by Mr. W. «J. Brennan of this place, takes the “Vieiapidated linen off the ahrnb&ry." / ** This letter is from a nest of thieves who sign themselves Wogan & Co n and profess to hold forth at 73 Nassau street. They •ay they have on hand $850,500 in sl, $2, and $5 bills, and that they arc so well ex ecuted, tlmt they defy the Treasury experts to detect them. Os course they offev their coimterteits-at low prices to induce fools, swindlers and scoundrels like themselves to Imy. The puppies state that their stock is in a safe place and that they defy the sharpest detectives in New York, unless blown we would Kke very much to blow on them with a ton of powder. The entire communication of the swin dlers is very confidential, and implores the reader not to show it to any one, as they have tlie reputation in New York of being “men of good standing.,, and are not sus pected of dealing in counterfeit money”— there ave tliousands of other' whelps in the city j-trst like you ; who deal iu stocks, gold, &c., on Wall street during the day, and manufacture counterfeit money, “buck at the tiger" and pick pockets during the night.

QUINCY, FLORIDA. Chv Saturday morning last we started for this once flourishing and beautiful place, : and after a pleasant drive of a few hours, we arrived safely ; saw our agreeable com panion to her place of abode, and repaired to tlio Willard House, where we met with a great many friends,, and had a gay time generally; and? we really believe, had we not have belonged to the “temperance band” they would have prevailed upon us to have ' imbibed a little benzine. If Quincy cannot •boast of improvements and brisk business, it certainly can of containing more pretty young ladies and clever gentlemen than any place of the size we know of—i-n fact take the people of the place altogether, they are among the most hospitable we have ever mot.

TUE UH.VRACTfc.it OF A LIAR* We copy with pleasure an affidavit from the Osthbert Appeal, of Phillip VV atkins exposing tho villainous rascal who was in strumental in bringing forward the follow ing slanderous report of affair., in the good county of Randolph, at the late Colored Convention in Macon “Four murders within three one woman was found with her throat cut, and the parties have not been brought to justice; one woman has been found cut open, with the child found between her legs ; I %vo schools ; 10b scholars , average wages, $lO per month.” We are decidedly of the opinion, that the scoundrel ought to be tared and feath ered, who wiliiont any character at all, save far infamy, should dare ntter such malicious lies upon a people. Here is what Phdlip swears about bim. It cannot bo misunder stood : GKORcr.v, Randolph County.— l, Phillip Watkins, do hereby affirm- that in Februa.- ry last, Charles Griffin, after frequent so licitations, received from rne the sum of $46, to Vie invested in merchandise for my benefit, he acting as my agent, and ising to make correct returns weekly, of sales and profits, faifmg to do which on demand, the money and goods in his pos*. session as agent to be returned to tne forth with.

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS, j* October Term 1869* FIRST WEEK. • We, the Grand Jury of Decatur county, Ga., ehosen, Rejected and swovn for the October Term of iB6O, do respectfully submit the following report and the following recommendations ; I. The Court House has been considerably im proved since sessions of last Court, and would now need no repairs if the recommendations of the Grand Jury of that Court had been raoie strictly observed ; and had the work began upon the Court House and its surroundings been forwarded and completed with proper despatch. But as the work and repairs have not been completed, it becomes our duty to reiterate and re-offer that part of those recomrnendatiins which have been so closely ob served. ( We therefore recommend the replastering of that part of the Couit House from which the plaster ing has fallen. We recommend the repairing of the blinds and windows of the Court House. We also recommend that a desk or case sufficiently large to hold all the books and papers in the Clerks office, be made so as to secure more effectually the books and papers of that office ; and that one of the desks in thje Clerks office be put iu the Grand Jury room, for theie is no desk in the Grahd Jury room, and the Forman therefore, is necessitated to carry all unfinished business in his pockets. We further recommend and call the attention of the Court of Ordinary to the completion of the half finished enclosure of the Court House. 11. The County Jail is good so far as its strength and security is concerned. But it is with reluc tance and regret we acknowledge that the condition of the interior of the Jail is a reproach upon the humanity of our county. There is a stench arising within the Jail, so nauseating and destructive to animal life, it almost defied inspection. And while *ve recommend thorough cleansing we algo suggest greater ventilation, both as a prevention and es cape for those ofc noxious gases. We think when, a poor house and the funds ap propriated for the maintenance of paupers are prop erly managed, both are at least a blessing to the poor. The manner in which the poor house itself is kept, and the management of the paupers re flects credit on. the energetic skill of the overseer, W. W. Harrell, upon fifty acres he has made nearly 500 bushels of corn, and about seven bales cotton, each 5 weighing over 500 pounds. And while we highly commend the management of the paupers and the poor house, we ns severely condemn the misappropriation of the funds intended for their maintenance. We say misappropriation because parties representing themselves as poverty stricken have been supported without ever having seen the poor house. We therefore recommend that all the funds for pauperism be made to pass through the hands of the overseer, and also recommend that no oue, it matters noUkiw poor, be supported or sup plied with any of the necessary means of subsis tence, unless he or she goes to the poor houso. And when they go to the poor house they be made to labor as puch as is consistent with their mental and physical capability. Upon reflection the au thorities will discover that we offer the above re commendations for no' other purpose than to dis - courage pauperism. And when such a course of procedure is instituted and continued other coun ties and other cities will cease to iaise (as they have done) paupers for onr couuty and city 111. The public roads are generally in good order. The bridge on Attapulgivs and warnps and Mus guito creeks a§e in bad condition. The bridges in the Southern part of the equity are in fine repair. We would recommend the building of a bridge 12 or 15 miles below Cloud's bridge, but the finances of the county do not justify any such recommenda tions and we therefore omit it. IV. The Clerk of the Superior Court deserves specialniention not only for the beauty of his pen manship and neatness, hut also for his rigid care fulness in avoiding errors. We call the attention of the authorities to the tax books, which are not only blotted but badly written- and replete with We instance only the case of Capt. Wim berly’s.taxes, which should have been $1.07 in stead of $7.. Books are neatly kept. The inspection ot the books of the Court of Ordina ry proved unsatisfactory to the committee and to the Jury. And we respectfully request and ear nestly entreat the succeeding Grand Jury to exam ine critically all tlie books of that Court. V. Our county is not only reported but known to be almost, if not really insolvent and bankrupt, because of the believed 1 careless and unnecessary expenditure of Its funds. A number of instances of 6uch surmise and un necessary expenditures, have been reported to us, bu tas we have not been favored with a report from Judge Joel Johnson, we are unable to satisfy the demands of our people with a publication of their present expenses, together with the amount and cause of their indebtedness. Judge Johnson offers as his excuse for his delin quency, the want of time and the loss of bis clerk, now acting, clerk Superior Court. Judge Johnson promises to have his report in readiness for the in spection of the Grand Jury of the'ensuing week; and we hope" his report will not only justify the expenditu.es of the county, but also hofch the murmerings oflhe people. VI. There lias been an unusual number of cases ,of simple larceny brought before us. Yet we think if magistrates are more watchful in the discharge of their duties, and if the law be promptly enforced, there is hope for us yet. In conclusion, it is with pleasure we tender our gratitude to his honor Judge Clark, for the dis charge of bis duties, the civilities shown this body, and also for the interest he has manifested in our county and our city. The Solicitor General, Major Richard H. White ly, is also entitled to our respect for his prompt attentions to Our calls. JOSHUA C. CURRY, Foreman. Compound Unction.
