To the Editors of the News and Courier: The South owes a debt to the late Paul Hi Hayne greater than it can ever pay. The movement on foot to erect a m'onument to his mem ory it a commendable one and will be successful. But the Southern people can erect another monument toTiim more durable than brass or stone. Let Mrs. Hayne and her son j^ut in press a handsome volume contaming. the life and principal works of the dead poet and author# one. that will sell at $5 per copy, and.let the South ern people, through the various liter ary societies or directly, subscribe for 10,000 or more copies of the work. The royalty, as well as the large com mission usually paid agents, would thus go to the loved and honored fam ily, and would be but a just return to them of what was due during. Hayne’s life, when his be§t works brought him only a fractional part of their real value. Will not the literary societies and the press of the South, where Hayne’s genius and patriotic ardpr are appreciated, take the matter in hand, and insure the inauguration and success of this or some other good plan to attain the object desired? M. Savannah, July 31. . We recommend the appointment of Joseph | Champion to the appointment of Notary Public of the 105th district. • We reconameml that the Committee appoint ed by the last Grand Jury, January Term, 1886, for the purpose of investigating books of coun ty Judge be pai^ each f2.00 per diem for the time they actually served. We view with pride the almost complete con dition of our beautiful and substantial Court House, and commend our Ordinary for'his dili gent supervision, and the Contractors for their splendid workmanship in the erection of the same. It is with deep regret that we part this terra for the last time with Judge Lawsen, whose untiring. energies, fiplki and correct ruling had so long been used in behalf of the interest of our county. His superb social qualities and genial companionship haring greatly endeared him Jo our people. #Wc beg to extend to Solicitor General Whit field thanks for his kind attention and the many courtesies shown us during the sitting of our body. > • . S. B. Marshall, Foreman. Grand Jury Presentments. ¥ Gkand Jury lloOil, Baldwin Superior Court, Milledgeville, Ga., August 5th, 1386. We, the undersigued Grand Jurors, selectedj. sworn, and chosen for the adjourned term of the July tourt, beg leaive to make the follow ing presentments: ordinary’s books. We have carefully examined the accounts of this ofliccr and lind them properly support cd by necessary vouchers. The hooks are not only accurately and systematically kept, but are a model of neatness. W efeel assuied that the affairs of the county are wisely anil econom ically conducted. The amount collected from all sources of the County, we find to be $51.65. The bonded debt of the c-ountv we find to be for ty-four thousand dollars. Of this debt eighteen thousand dollars are known as *31. & A. It. R. bonds,’ three thousand dollars of which are due annually—the last maturing in 1892. Of the issue known as ‘bridge bonds’ all have been jiaid save one thousand dollars which ma tures in January 1887. The issue of 1383 of |25,000. known as the ’court house bonds,’ aieof course fresh in the memory to us all. The court house bonds were sold for $27,014,50 reali»- ing a handsome premium upon their par or face value which is of co ne gratifying and speaks well for the conduct of the financial management of county matters. Of the pro ceeds of the sale of these bonds 124,149.40 has been paid out upon the work of the new court house, leaving a balance of $2,865.10 yet unex- peuded, but to complete the structure with the improvements of its surroundings, it is be lieved that, this balance will be needed. This structure is one in which the county should look upon with pride and admiration and ex- t<^pd much credit to our worthy and efficient Ordinary and those associated with him. TREASURER’S BOOKS.

SHERIFF’S BOOKS. We find the books and. accounts of this officer to be kept in" a business like manner. All transactions connected with this officer sup ported by necessary vouchers, lie is ever vigilant to the interests of the county and we cannot speak in too high terms of his efficiency and untiring energy during his long term of service in this capacity. JUDGE OF THE COUNTY COURT. The special Committee appointed by.the last Grand Jury to investigate the record of the •county court, embracing the period from Jan uary term, 1885, to January Term 1886, report that they have discharged that duty, and find tho diserepancy reported by the last Giand Jury did exist but has since been satisfactorily adjusted. It is the opinion of this body that theRecoids of this officer have been carelessly and negli gently kept and call special attention'to the Committee herein after mentioned to a thor ough and exhaustive examination of the same, and that a full and complete report in writing be submitted to the next Grand Jury.

All monies have been paid over to the Treasurer save an amount now in hank subject to the decision of an issue now pending- Without entering into further details we find the Records of other county officers neatly and systematically kept. ROADS AND BRIDGES. We find the roads in moderately fair condition. We would respectfully call the attention of the Ordinary to the necessity of repairs on the bridges over Ocouc4 River and Fishing cieek on Macon road. . « We further recommend that the petition of numerous citizens to erect a bridge over Camp creek be complied with upon condition set forth in said petition.

Believing as we do that a watchful eye should be ever kept upon the administration of coun ty affairs, and being now'convinced of the necessity of a thorough examination of county matters, we havq. appointed a committee of five with the foreman to select this committee of three to give a thorough investigation of all the books and records of the county, and that the said Committee make under oath report to the next term of the court, reporting separ ately and upon the records of each officer; and further that said Committee he hereby empow ered to send for persons and papers w henever by them deemed necessary to the proper per formance of their duty and that said Committee be allowed $3.00 per diem each for actual time for services rendered.

Warlike Move by Mexico. MASSING TROOPS ON THE BANKS OF THE RIO GRANDE. Laredo, Aug. 7.—A detachment of 400 Mexican troops arrived in Nueva Laredo, Mexico, last night. They are principally infantry and artillery, and brought two cannon with them. They have placed the cannon so as to command Fort McIntosh, on the Texas side of the Rio Grande, and Mexican officers have been noticed taking observations from the position all day. m Considerable indignstion is express ed by the Americans at the arrival of these troops, and this action on the part of the Mexicans does not auger for a peaceful solution of the present difficulty. • LIVELY RUMORS IN ATLANTA. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 7.—Lively ru mors are afloat here tonight in refer ence to the war with Mexico. The press dispatches announce the mass ing of Mexican forces on the Texas frontier, and rumor has it that Gov. McDaniel, in common with the Gov ernors of all the States, has been wir ed by the Secretary of War to know how many organized troops there are in Georgia ready ter enlist for Mexico in case war is declared. Certain it i3 that Governor McDaniel was wired to return to Atlanta this evening from Walton county, but he denies the re ceipt of any telegram from the Secre tary of Wac, and says he was called on a different matter. Mexico is the topic of conversation tonight, and a number of young fellows declare their readiness to go. • CUTTING SENTENCED TO ONE YEAR.

If he cannot pay the fine he will have to serve one hundred days longer. Medina, who caused all the trouble, has leave to sue Cutting in a civil suit for damages. * The question of censur ing American Consul Brigham and asking for his removal is referred to the Supreme Court of Chihuahua. Cutting will probably be hnrried off to prison at Chihuahua to night. A Cloud Burst. STATE OF GEORGIA EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. PROCLAMATION. GEORGIA. By HENRY D. Mo DAN I EL, Governor of Said Statb.

Henry Watterson sent in his card to Secretary Endicott, some months ago. The Secretary declined to see him on the ground that he was unknown! Retribution has come. We learn that Mr. Endicott had occasion to go to the House of Representatives on bus iness. He entered the hall and walk ed around for quite a while without being recognized by any one. He was about to leave when Mr. Randall lioppened to see him and engaged him in conversation. It is rather a surprise that none of the members whom he passed should have known the Cabinet officer, but Mr. Endicott is an exclusive sort of maxi, and there is not much communication between members of Congress and the Secre tary of War.—Augusta Chronicle.
