JUDGE ALDRICH ON THE ORDER OF
GEN. SIcKLes.-llis Honor recently
held court at Yorkvillo in tho place of
Judge Dawkins who isill. In his ad-
dress to the grand jury, which ere find
in the E"Quirer, he remarked that /:
cit was his privilege to state to them
: that an order had been recently is-
sued by tho Commandant of the State,
restoring to the jurisdiction of the
State, all matters coming under the
the cognizancc of her courts, with one
or two exceptions. The Vagrant Act
and the penalty of whipping for GER
tain offences, were not permitted to be
enforced under this order. While
he congratulated the jury upon this
near approach of the State to. the man
agemcnt Of her own affairs once more,
'he must express the humiliation he
felt that we were under the control of
power which could still address it's
edicts to the Statcpcrmissively MS re-
garded the enactment of laws for it's
proper welfare. In relation to the
act against vagrancy, the military au-
thorities required that if upon indict-
ment, the defendant offered proof that
he had made reasonable effort to OBJ
tain employment and failed, that he
should noC be subjected to the penal
ties of conviction. This, in effect,
nulli6cd wholesome law. 1t would
be easy enough for bad man to
prove that he had made application for
employment" 1t was we'll known
fact that persons of notoriously bad
character could not we'll procure en-
ployment, where others could, and it
was against such persons that the act
was mainly intended to opcrate.s Un-
der these trying circumstances of our
condition, he oounselcd patience.
There WIS a Ehigher degree of courage
IN submitting to what we could not
avert than in growing restive under
it.
In relation to the freedmen thrown
upon the protection of the laws of the
State, he urged the Grand Jury to see
that strict and impartial justice be ac-
corded them In some communities,
ne regretted to say-and he hoped not
IN TINS one-many acts of lawlessness
had been committed against these
people that called for prompt and de-
cisive punishment. His experience
had been that this class of persons
(the fretdmenl had exhibited n dispo-
Isltion in regard to the laws, tthhat had
entitled them 20 their fullest protcc-
tion, and he was unwilling to see
spirit of prescription manifested to-
wards them. n
