The Federal COurt--The Grand Jury
Any one who drops in upon the Federal
Court during one Of its sessions, cannot
we think, fail ts be impressed before leav-
ing with the idea that new order oil
things has been inaugurated in tue Judi
ciaty of North Western Virginia. Every
thing connected with the Court wears
different air from what it did under the
reign of Brockenbrough and jeff Martin
There is n different style of men in all the
departments, and they seem to be animated
by different objects and purposes. There
is not the same misunderstanding element
in the personnel, nor the same circumlocu-
ton in the Court as body. Judge Jack
son rnanifests thorough knowledge of his
duty aud business, and appears resolved
that all about him shall know theirs-and
that they will perform it we need no as
surauee other than their well known integ-
rity of character.
The Grand Jury is composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen:
From Marshall county E. H. Caldwell.
tForeman,) james Burnley, S. B. Purdy,
and James McCarrier; Ohio-Abraham
Bcdillion, Sr., Andrew F. Ross, Andrew
p. Woods, aud S. II. Woodward Brooke
Nathaniel Wells, James Archer, Campbell
Tarr, Jr.; Hancock-D. W. jenkins and
james S. Porter; Marion-Wm. u. Dun
ningtUn, John Michael, David Cunningham;
WetzeI-Jacob FIeeharty; Aonougalia-
John R. Drabel, Addison s. Vance, Samuel
Sears, and Leroy Kramer; Jaekson-Daniel
Frost; Wood-Bernard Cork.
Many of these gentlemen are prominent
Is before the country, as occupying legis-
Iative positions. They are all well known
in this part of the State as gentlemen of
eminent worth, intelligence and character.
This is tue least that could be said of them
in the aggregate. They were chosen for
the responsible and delicate position they
fill because they were as good men, if not
the best that could be found in the respec-
tive counties and communities from which
they were chosen.
From these considerations we are fully
warranted il saying that this jury will do
all that it is lawful and right for them to
do, to bring to justice all offenders within
their jurisdiction against the laws of the
United States, and will mete out punish
meut to them in no other spirit than from
sense of duty. Certainly the Marshal has
made happy selections thus far in his ju-=
rics
