REPoRr OF THE GRAND JUEY.-The following is
the report of the Grand Jury, made at the August
session Of our Court:
To the Honorable Alerander Jordan. President,
and his AssociateS Judges Of the Court Of Tic
Comfy Of Northumberland
The Grand Jurors after having passed upon and
finished all business laid before them by the Court
and District Attorney, and made such examinations
of the public buildings deemed necessary, do
port as follows:
With feelings of just pride do we recognize the
generosity of the Bar in the presentation of the por-
trait of the Hon A. Jordan, President Judge of this
Court. We take it as mark Of that high estocm
entertained by the Bar towards his Honor, which is
justly due for services characterized with mnch
ability, business and urbanity. The Grand Jury
consider it very appropriate ornament to the
Court room
Upon examination of the public buildings the
Jury find that the following repairs ana articles
needed at the Jail The yard buildings need tho
rough repairing. The yard wall is weak and poor
in places, and we recommend that there be put q
thick coat of good lime and sand plastering the
inside OF the wall, seven eight feet high from the
ground two stoves and ore top to a stove in use
one table; two beds and bed clothing zinc iron
sheeting under all the stoves, and certain repairs to
the floor.
The Grand Jury strongly urge taking some mca-
sures to remedy defect of the Court room, referred
to in former reports Of this kind touching the diff
Guilty to hear satisfactorily This should not be de-
ferred. The public rooms and offices are found in
good condition and well adapted to the purposes fol
which they are used. We found the officers of the
different departments to be gentemaniy and obl
! gng, and an honor to the county 1t is recommend
ed that suitable blinds be put in the windows Of tht
Court House which have no shutters, to exclude
| light or rays of the snn
The Grand Jury very much regret the great in
crease of the number oil crimes in county, whcl
! is bad omen of the state of society.

A CONTRAST IN ADMINISTRATIVE
The New York Times remarks, that
"because affairs move along so quietly
under the military bill in the depart
ments of Gems. Schofield and Ord
that is to say. in the States of Virgi-
mia, Mississippi and Arkansas-it
must not be supposed that these Of
ficers are in any way remiss in their
duty in the enforcement of the terms
OF the law" 1t is, perhaps, matter
of wonder to those readers of the
Times to whom such an explanation
Is necessary, that there should be
such contrast in the quiet of affairs
in the two departments mentioned,
and in the other military districts of
the South. The people are the same,
the laws imposed upon them the
same, and in the administration of
those laws in registration, the protec-
tion of freedmen, the suppression of
disloyal exhibitions, the surveillance
of the local governments, and all the
preliminaries of reconstruction, the

the unsatisfactory in others? Is it
not because these two officers, whilst

and know how to temper firmness
with moderation, and are conciliatory

pie recognize such disposition in
their governors, they naturally meet
1t halfway, and cheerfully Cooperate
IN the preservation of peace and

that men of like stamp had not been

The QUEEN OF ENGLAND. Victoria
is nowadays the subject of much
gossip. The London gossip Of the
New York Herald writes:
Much excitement has been caused
by the appearance, in new satirical
weekly, called the 7omdha,ck, of
large picture called ga Brown
Study" John Brown, the Queen s
favorite gillie, or Scotch servant, is
represented standing where Prince
Albert used to stand, ut the left of
the throne. One hand rests upon
the throne; the other holds short
pipe. AT his feet is the British lion,
looking up to him most meekly and
lovingly. The drawing is by an ar
tist named Mr.. Morgan, now scene
painter at the Covent Garden, and
it is SO admirably done that even
those who detest its spirit cannot but
praise its artistic beauty. OF course
it refers to the story that the Queen
has an intrigue with this strapping
Highlander, who accompanies her
everywhere.
1t is said that the Prince of Wales
went down to Osborne on the day
the Tomahd,Ck appeared, in order to
induce his royal mother to dismiss
Brown. Similar attempts by Earl
Derby and the Duke of Cambridge
have failed, and these authorities are
currently reported to have negatived
the contemplated review at Hyde
Park during last month, because they
were afraid that the people would
hiss the Queen if she appeared in
public again with John Brown, and
she refused to appear without him.
The Queen declares that Brown
was the favorite servant of Prince
Albert, and that she will not dis
pense with his services. She there
fore allows him to adjust her cloak
for her, and to drive behind her in
her carriage, and has had him painted
for her holding her horse, in Land
seer's picture of "The Widowed
Queen" The matter has now as
sumed delicate phase. To dismiss
Brown would be to recognize the
scandal; to retain him will certainly
increase it. What will be the upshot,
nobody can predict; but things have
come to pretty pass if n queen can
not choose her own attendants.

ScHoFIELD AND ORD-STANToN AND
THE TENURE OFFICE BILL.-The ques-
tion was asked the President, to-day,
why there was no dissatisfaction with
Generals Ord and Schofeld. He
answered: Because they attend to
their legitimate business, and are
executing the Reconstruction Acts
according to their true intent and
meaning. They have not attempted
to play the partizan, but simply to
do their duty"
The fact has just leaked out here
that MIR. Stanton prepared Williams
amendment to the civil Office tenure
bill, by which Cabinet Ministers
were included. And yet his denun-
citation in Cabinet meeting of that
paragraph as unconstitutional in
duced President Johnson to devolve
upon him the duty of preparing q
message vetoing the bill.

ARREST OF AN INCEND1ARY LEG
TuRER.-We are glad to learn from
the Bennettsville Journal that Nat
Williams, the negro incendiary lee
turer, description of whose ha-
rangues appeared in the Charleston
Mercury, of the Oath ultimo, has been
arrested and carried to Darlington.
He is charged with preaching incen-
diary doctrines to the freed people of
Marlboro District, and will be tried
by military commission. There are
others, in different portions of the
"Second District" that should be
looked after. One, with white skin,
made use of expressions in Western
North Carolina that were of such q
character as to warrant the interfer-
ence of the District Commander.
Justice may yet be meted to these
parties.

Nor TO BE ADMITTED.
Wade has recently made speech in
Portsmouth, Ohio. The following
extract will suffice for q comprehen-
sion of its purport and character:
Compare negro voting Tennessee
with rebel-cursed Kentucky. In the
latter, they have elected full ticket
OF traitors to Congress, and they
come up and demand seats there. but
not one devil of them will ever get q
seat there. Cheers, and repeated
cries of Good. ] You may call it
despotism, but what sort of despot
ism is it to exclude from the Govern
ment men who openly tried to de-
stroy 1T? 1t is quite enough if we
spare their devilish necks. Cheers.
And my right hand shall forget its
cunning before ever I vote for their
admission. You must exclude them
for the safety of your Government.
Let rebel Kentucky try it over again. "
This speech is not the utterance of
fanatic, but one high in position,
and who claims to be one of the
foremost statesmen of the country.
MIR. Wade is the President of the
United States Senate. In case OF
the successful impeachment of the
Executive, now again ardently urged,
themantle of the Executive will fall
upon his shoulders. His utterances
need no comment to be understood.

The PRESIDENTS POWER OF PAR
DoN.-The New York Tribune says:
''The President, it is said, is about
to issue new proclamation of amnes-
ty. 1t is well to be magnanimous, but
it does not follow, even though the
Herald ssserts it, that the Presidents s
pardon nullifies the laws. The Pre-
sident may pardon, SO far as to alb
solve individual rebels from punish
ment, but cannot remove the disa-
bilities imposed upon classes. The
reconstruction acts do not punish
in the accepted meaning of the term,
but lay down certain precautions and
restrictions, and these disabilities the
law expressly provides shall not be
removed by reason of any Executive
pardon. Mr.. johnson may proclaim
universal amnesty, but so long rs re-
construction is imperfect, the dis
qualifying clause of the law will be
enforced"

How BRowN1ow CARRIED TESsEs

How BROwNLOw CARRIED TENNEs.
sEE.-An exchange says:
The white population of Tennes-
see is about S27, 7,672-equal to q
voting force of 165, ,535. (The poll
for President, in 1860, was 145, 333. J
The Brownlow faction have disfran-
chised fully seven-tenths of the legal
voters, 115, ,745,) and allowed but
three-tenths $4,000 the right of
suffrage. The negro population is
283, ,O00-giving voting force of
about Sc, 600. Nearly all these Brown
low and his faction received, which,
added to about $4,000 of the white
voters, gave total of about 60, 600
votes cast for him. The remaining
white vote--about 36,OOO-was cast
for Mr.. Etheridge-leaving Brown
low majority of about 33, 600. This
may be moro plainly stated thus:
Brownlow's white vote, 13, 900; negro
vote, 800. Etheridge's white vote,
36, 600. Brownlow's majority, 33, 900.
Had the whole legal white vote been
polled, the case would have stood as
follows: Etheridge's present vote,
5000; Etheridge's disfranchised
vote. lis, 900; total, Isl, 900. Brown
lows white and negro poll, 6O,6OO.
Etheridge's white majority, 81, 800.
Without counting the negroes
who have no right under the sun to
vote, the lawful voters of Tennessee
never having decided to give them
the ballot-Etheridge's majority, at q
fair election, would have reached
$4,000.
The above figures explain where
Brownlow's majority of 10000 came
from. With these facts before our
eyes. it is as easy to tell how that old
carried the State as to roll
off log. How could it be otherwise,
when seven-tenths of tho white voters
are disfranchised? This is the kind
of Reconstruction" the radicals are
serving out. Will Pennsylvania, next
October, sanction this gross injustice
by endorsing it at the polls? We do
not believe she will

The Jews are becoming very nume-

because they are among the most
healthy, moral, industrious and eco
nomical of our people. They are
clannish and peculiar in their habits,
amusements and modes of action.
They are Jews-as distinct in blood
and life to-day as they were 5000
years ago. But when people OF their
intelligence-keen, sharp-witted, edu-
cated-are willing to labor, without
any regard to eight or ten hour sys-
TENS; to live within their means, and
lay up something every year; when
they never drink to excess, are sell

the Jews are worthy of imitation.
They demonstrate that labor con-
