 Mr. EDIroR-The citizens of this county held a meeting in Lewisburg, on Saturday, April ', and passed the following resolu- tions:
 WHEREAS, There has been an effort made in this county by certain transient persons, whom we have good reason to belive are abolition emissaries, to interfere with our slaves, and persuade them to assume an attitude of hostility to their masters; and whereas, we are determined to take action against all such, both vigorous and etfec- tive.
 Resolued, That we hereby advise all sus- piclous men having no employment amongst us, and who are drifting about for the pur- pose ot lnJuring us in the possession of our property, to cease from this day any in- terme1dling in our domestic institutions, else we pledge them and ourselves, that we will deal with them with the utmost rigor.
 Resolged, That tho chair appoint com mitteo of seven to wait on the agents of the overland and Fort Smith and Little Rock mail lines, and request the removal of all employees, except such as are known to be good southern men, and to engage no others. Resofred, That the persons subscribing hereto shall constitute vigilance com mittee, any five of whom shall have power to carry out these resolutions in spirit and effect.
 Resotaed, That tho Little Rock papers bo requested to publish these proceedings. The char appointed as tho committee Messrs ,. II. Nioman, R. Welborn, L. O.. Breeden, A. Gorden, R. T. Markham, w.. j.. Menelee and R. w. Harper.

 Mir. EDITOR: have procured the pass age in the Senate of tho bill concerning tho United States courts in tho State of Ar kansas. send you 8 copy for publication
 l have also procured the passage by the Senate of bill for the relief of pre-emptors on the lands heretofore ceded to the State of Arkansas for railroad purposes. But 1t will require the assent of the State of Ar kansas and of the railroad stockholders But the stockholders ought to agree to it without hesetation for palpoJle good reasons, and have no doubt will do so.
 ] Ireported also to the Senate bill for the relief of Lee and John Deatheridge some time ago, which was passed.
 l also reported to the Senate sometime ago the bill for tho relief of the heirs of Abraham Dardenne, which was passed.
 These bills will become laws when they are passed by the House of Representatives. The bill for the pre-emptors on tho rail road lands ought to have been for all actual settlers on those lands prior to the survey of tho road, but 1 could not get 1t passed. But tho stockholders hope will themselves deal on the most liberal terms with all that class. l can show clearly to them that il is not only inst, but is wise and is for their own interest.

Grand Juries.

Steps have been taken towards the abo- lition of grand jurics in the States of Yer mont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Michigan, Connecticut, New York, Penn svlvania, Virginia and Louisiana.
 We are conservative enough to examine carefully any movement calculated to break up the established order of things, but we can see nothing in the grand jury system to commend 1t, or to favor its longer con- tnuance It is cumbrous, expensive and secret. It affords no protection to the in nocent while it offers chance of escape to the guilty. A man who has committed no crime would not suspect thatan accusation would be lodged against him, and goes on unconscious that an ignorant or prejudiced witness may be secretly giving in evidence against him, without his having the privi lege of cross examination or rebutting the testimony. On the other hand, guilty man, naturally supposing his case would come before the grand jury, contrives to have his friends brought before it, where, not subject to the searching questions put in open court, tho witness makes out good case for his friend. By this means a bill is ignored, or the grade of offence is so lessened as to enure to the benefit of the guilty.
 In felonies, parties are arrested and com mitted to prison by magistrate. When the circuit court meets nothing can be done until the grand jury finds bill. The wit nesses arc sent for at a great expense, and great deal of machinery put in motion, when the criminal might be brought to the bar at once. Proceeding by yinformation, or by the filing of declaration or indictment by the States attorney would answer all purposes.
 The system is repugnant to our institu- tions, being er pGrte, secret and lnqulSlto- rial. It has been said that sixteen men, chosen from different parts of the country, come upwith full knowledge of all crimes committed in their respective neighbor- hoods and thus the guilty are brought to punishment, and the community purgcd But, to this it may be answered, if these men knew of these crimes, tboy, as good citizens, should have had the offenders ar rested and bound over to appear at court or committed to jail.
 w. make these remarks in hopes that others will examine this subject and give their opinions. The question is open to discussion, and we would be glad to know what arguments the friends of the system may urge in it's behalf. We confess we dread any radical change, especially in such matters, and would like to see the matter thoroughly investigated before any definite action is taken by our law makers.

 hIr. Johnson, of Arkansas, asked, and by unanimous consent obtained, leave to bring in the following bill; which was read twice and referred to tho committee on tho judiciary.

 A Bill Concerning the Courts of the United States in the district of Arkansas. Be 4 enacted Jy the tSen0te and House ot Representatives. of Me United States ot 41merica in Congress- assembled, That there shall be district judge of tho United States for the western district of Arkansas, who shall reside in the said district, and have and exercise the same jurisdiction and powers which are now had and exercised within the said district by the judge of the district court for the district of Arkansas, and the jurisdiction and authority of the last mentioned judge shall be hereafter con- fined to the eastern district of Arkansas, and he shall be called the judge of the east crn district of Arkansas, and shall reside therein.

REBEIIIoS.-The Senate of the United States issued summons for r. B. San born, of Massachusetts, to appear as wit ness before the Harper's Ferry committee. The door keeper of the Senate deputlzed a person to arrest him, and the arrest was made. Sanborn was rescued by mob and kept away until a writ of habeas corpus was issued. The supreme court of Massa- chusetts decided that the sergeant at arms of the Senate cannot deputize his powers to officers outside of the District of Colum bia, and set Sanborn free The mandate of tho Senate is set at naught, and Massa- chusetts plainly says that sho will not per- hAit hcs citizens to testify concerning trea- son committed against the general govern ment.

szz- Our ne;obbor of tho Old Line

Gg Our neighbor of tho Old Line Democrat is getting the wire edge worked off very gradually. By dint of screwlng up his courage and practising the grlnand bear it philosophy, he succeeded in getting | LID Mr. Johnson's name for governor, and the democratic county ticket. But, as Ii sorry for this good act, he pleads 1t was an act of "party necessity But It ilndS paragraph in the South Western Demo crat which says that Dr. Mitchell will get the Sorrell's vote, and, by the aid of thls, is enabled to see very large cat in very small meat tub. On this slender thread he threatens to bolt, and refuse to support the nominee. In our opinion 1t makes but little difference, the only difference being that the latter course would be the more | honest. He attempts to discredlt the action of the State convention, and, m an unfair article in his last issue, entitled " Facts and Figurcs," by emitting to notice part of the proceedings, tries to create the impression that Mir. Johnson was elected by minority vote. It was patent to every person present that II another ballot had been taken the noml- nee would have received two-thrds ot all the votes cast and majority of the whole democratic vote of the State. Mir. Peek knows this, and knows that the seperdt very decided and emphatic nays against making the nomination unanimous, con sisted of one voice.
 Truly, our neighbor is strange mortal. In one place he says he does an act from "party necessity" In another place 1t plumes itself upon rejecting C mere policy and expcdiency." The last issue of his paper pavcs the way, very coarsely and roughly but very plainly, for bolt from the party It is sooner, by year, than we supposed, but it will make no differ ence Whether calling itself Old Line Democrat or Old Line Oppositioncr, its whole course is in opposition to the will and wishes of the democratic party.

NEW PAPER AT PARAOdFTA.-We have before us the second number of the South Western Democrat, published at Paraclifta, in Sevier county, by Thomas A. Scott, and edited Dy James Penney. The first num- Der of the paper unfortunately missed us. MT Penney is ine writer, man of varied and critical information, tried democrat, anl has had experience as an editor. The typoglap hical appearance of the new paper reflects much credit on the publisher. We wish both publisher and editor success. Sevier county, we are told, is one of the finest bodies of land in the world There is not an acre that may not be made produc tive, and if as much labor was spent on the soil of that county as there IS on that of tho State of Connecticut, its productions would equal those of the whole Yankee State.
 The following is from the South West ere Democrat:
 "We take pleasure in placing the name of R. If Johnson at our mast head the nominee oi our party for Governor of this State, and satis fled that he will receive the support of the democ raey of this county"
