Testimony before Grand Juries.

A very commendable feeling is taking pos
session of the public mind in some of our sister
States on the subject of testimony before Grand
Juries, and the consequences which the present
en parte system entail upon the community
Under the present system, it is almost impossi-
BILE for Grand Jury to arrive at proper con-
clusion, if indeed proper conclusion be an OBJ
Ject, owing TO the rule which compels jurymen
to hear but one side of story and upon this
hearing found their opinion.
The community is frequently taken by sur
prise when petit jury pronounces the verdict
of Not Guilty, just because this verdict seems at
utter variance with the finding Of the Grand
Jury. 1t would seem that the first Jury is paid
to put man upon his trial and the second is
paid to let him Off This is the farce acted and
reacted from time immcmoral and for which
the people have to pay. If there must necessa-
rly be two uries, why is it that both sides of the
question cannot be heard by each and thus d.
minish the number Of trials before the courts as
this mode would most certainly do, because hay
ing heard both sides Of a case the Grand Jury
could decide with more certainty whether or not
an accused person should be put to trial. We
would venture to say that were the whole avail
able testimony to be heard before Grand Jurics.
not one fifth of the actions would 90 up to tria
from that body, that now do The time of the
court, OF witnesses and of snitors would be dcvo-
ted to better purposes, and the taxes would be
less, or could be applied to the Improvement of
roads or other equally useful objects Every
court term brings together host of iurymen
witnesses, &c, to the loss of all concerned in a
special manner, and to the general loss of the
whole community. All this happens because
we arc determined to live up to the antiquatcd
notions Of our ancestors in this one science alone,
while IN all others truth and expcdiency has tri-
umphcd over prejudice and error.
This old state of things will remain forever
ifpublic opinion leaves it alone. The great mass
OF the people are sufferers and very few gain
anything, and is the time to make the
change. Now, because commissioners have
been appointed for the special purpose Of rcvis-
ing the laws of Iowa. and these commissioners
are now in session. These commissioners arc
lawyers; their feelings and prcjudces are in ia
vor Of the old system, because they have been
educated to feel and think that the old system
is perfect, and being perfect it must be spoiled
iftouchcd by change. If they arc not solicited d
by the people to modify the ancient forms to the
now order of society, they will not know what
the present wants demand, and the consequence
will be, that instead Of suting the people, the
law commissioners will suit themselves. For
this they cannot be blamed as by so doing they
will be but acting in accordance with man S ma
tnre, which makes man obey his own inclination
when not restrained or impcled by more power

Foreign Summary.

ENGLASD.-In England violent struggle is
taking place between the protcctionists and free
trade classes. The former embraces the landed
and manufacturing monopolists, and the latter
the mechanical and laboring classes Several
meetings have been held by the protectionists
to urge Parliament to repeal the free trade laws,
or rather to rc-enact the former laws protecting
British agricultural and manufacturing interests.
These meetings, though composed of large and
respectable bodies Of the gentry, were interrupt
ed by the opposite free trade party, and in many
instances this opposition led to blows and blood
shed. The people, as mass, have tasted the
sweets of cheap bread, and knowing that they
have the physical strength to enforce compl-
ance with their wishes, they have determined to
keep possession of their vantage ground, in spite
of the opposition of the aristocracy. Should
this state of things continue to arraign the peo-
pie against each other, a clash-a rencontre-
must inevitably take place.
FRANcE.-The political aspect Of France is
much like that which preceded the establish
ment of the Empire, and events arc fast hurry
ing on the crisis which must once more result
in the establishment of Imperialism. There is
something in the French nation which cmbra-
ces magnificent G overnment with the fondncss
of passionate admiration and it is but natural
to respect what one loves. We in the United
States love the Republican form of government
for its simplicity, equality and guarantees of in
dividual rights, and we respect and protect this
form of government in preference to all others.
In France the principle is the same, though the
object Of admiration may be different. France
in every phase of her political existence has
been used to splendid government, and the
taste and habits of her people require that what
ever form of government be established it shall
be clothed with splcndor and magnificence. If
this be inconsistent with the Republican or De-
mocratic form, it fails to meet the taste, habits
and desires of the people and cannot consequent
ly command their respect or attachment. Hence
the necessity which hurries the present govern
ment, step by step, into Imperialism.

Apporiionment of the School Fund,

We have received the circular of the Super.
lntendent of Public instruction relatnp to the
annual apportonment of the School Fund to the
several counties of the State. The number of
children reported from Dubuque county, is 25s7.
and the amount of funds apportioned to the same
IS $o79,57, making or rather giving to each child
"a cents. We have no means of ESTIMATING tho
number Of children in actual attendance ot
school, but presume it will not amount to half
the number returned. Taking this as an assu-
med basis OF direct apportionment we shall have
for each child in actual attendance at school GS
cents. This is exclusive of the county school
fund which will probably double this amount.
We shall look to the school officers for faith
tul application this fund. Wherever Com
mon School has not been taught in a district du-
ring the past year, the fund cannot be appor-
toned, but must be held over until Common
school shall have been established, and taught
according to the spirit and intention of the law,
We throw out this suggestion to guard against
the distribution OF this fund to private or pay
schools. We are aware that some diversity of
P'iii'H N"i'1o 40 l" "Hul IS Il NOllllnOn CCHOOl.
Some contending that none arc such except
those which have been made so under the d.
rect influence Of board of School Directors.
by providing house for school, and hiring the
services of teacher or teachers for stipulated
time and at a stipulated salary. Others contend
that private pay school can be made the rccip-
lent of this fund by subjccting the scholars to an
examination by the school board and by other
indirect control. We leave these opinions to
combat each other in the public mind.

E1B7 new edition Of the Lords Prayer chan
ges the word lead into abandon, thus: Abandon
US not in temptation, instead of lead us not into
temptation. There seems to be no necessity fol
asking not to lead us into temptation for the in.
finite goodness of the Creator cannot be sup.
posed to act inconsistently as the present word
ing of the petition would pre-suppose, but being
once tempted there is an evident propriety in re.
questing that the Lord would not abandon us in
that state. We approve the new reading as be-
ing the appropriate language to convey the ap-
propriatc idea.
