- 70 TIE GRAND JUAx.-The Fed
'I r,,s, Hon. John j. Jackson presi.
10. n., Yesterday morning at the United
S ,. C,pr, Room. A jury, of which W.
! Ss,irr of this city was nominated as
" :" vas empauneled and sworn.
w. ris, Jackson delivered quite lengthy
re 10 the jury. He called the atten !.
=, 4, rhe jury, first. to cases of treason
=, might come under their notice.
..qo5 the person indicted for this of.
s.,s may, in less than twenty four hours
,Asrsrds, avail himself of the acts of
;,.cuive clemency, the amnesty prOcla-
,,ton of the President for instance, it
n; pole the less the duty of the jury to
ii ;bc Indictment Ii would impose a
s,.some restraint upon this class of of.
.i.t., aud would quiet and pacify SO
sr. 10 this connection his Honor stated
st Of the one thousand persons who had
In before the Court under his admins.
aion charged with reasonable conduct,
d more than twenty FIVE had violated tn
sigatous imposed upon them.
Ills Honor next alluded to the enormous
equations, populations and frauds
rtch we're being perpetrated, within the
binds of this district and elsewhere, by
SCENTS of the Government. Men wearing
lie livery of the government were sup
Ertiug it with their hypocritical lips aud
IobUing it OF the very means of existence.
.ach men were worse than those who
eue ont openly aud oppose the Govern
tent with the bayOnet. He alluded to
l;es which had come within his know
ige, wherein Quartermnsters had em-
eyed agents to purchase articles neces.
ny for the subsistence of the army, and
ID furnished them with blank vouchers.
be people OF whom the purchases were
ade were induced to sign these blank
uchers, which were afterwards filled M
the pleasure of the agent, and thus the
'vernment was frequently defrauded. 1t
As The duty OF the grand jury to ferret
Il such cases and bring The eFendurs to
slice, The possession of these vouchers
IS prima facie evidedce of fraud.
The offences OF buying horses from SOL
rs aud selling them again, buyilg equip
:n'S aud encouraging desertious were
uded to. 1t was the duty of the jury to
lairS into these things, as the inquiries
gh' result in the development of this
ec'eS OF taScality elsewhere aud tend to
eek the growing disposition to detraud
country aud the people. The Judge
H"!uded to Offences against the Inter
! Revenue laws, muking false returns
. If ever the Government needed the
iS'ance of it's Grand Juries in this re-
dit was now. The country could only
preserved by war, war could only be
red on by means. and means could oulv
obtained by taxation. Persons guilty
he Offense of making false returns were
lily of perjury, than which there was
rcely a greater offence. All our civil
bis and even our lives depend upon the
acity of man. Every person engaged in
uSlness or calling for the prosecution
'hlch license was required from the
te. is required to take out United States
use. If engaged in more than one bu-
Esq license is Oequired for each.
q conclusion his Honor called attention
the subject OF CONTRIBUTING, saying
t in view of the new avenues, uecessari,
opened by the Government by the issue
treasury notes and postage currency,
business of cOunrerfsiting was on the
Fease aud therefore the subject required
striotest investigation on the part of
jury.
