The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1868-01-28
THE ILLINOIS STATE REGISTER.

This paper has been greatly improved, of
late, and is now one of the most sprightly as
well as ably conducted papers in the state.
Its location, at Springfield, gives it addition
al value as a political organ of the demo.
cratic party in the state. 1t proposes to fur
nish its readers with interesting political pic
lures during the coming campaign, which
will give it additional value. The first cut
is an exceedingly expressive one and con-
veys ideas to some minds which no speech
or newspaper article could do. 1t represents
magnificent tree whose roots are fed by
gold and the blood and bones of our slain
soldiers and whose branches are full of
leaves labeled $40 lO:4O 1870 &c. &c. On
one side of the tree is family of poor white
people, in rags, and furnishing for bread {;
on the other plethoric bondholder seated on
an iron chest labeled "non taxable bonds"
while fat negro stands on ladder pluck
ing the bonds from the tree and handing
them to the bondholder 1t is sad but true
picture. The tree, fed By gold and soldiers
bones, produces wealth for the rich, starva-
ton for the poor, and the negro is the agent
in the transaction

ABOLISH THE GRAND JURY SYSTEM.

In the Wisconsin state senate resolu
ton has been introduced, declaring the
grand jury system relic of barbarism, recon
mending its adjustment, and instructing
the Judiciary committee to report bill for
amending the constitution accordingly.
This is sensible move, and we hope to see
it carried out in every state in the Union If
the practical working of the system in this
county is fair sample of other places, it is
a disgrace to civilization and an engine of
tyranny and oppression. We know of sew
eral cases where people have been indicted
on merely party or personal malice, and the
cowardly lying witnesses, who procured the
indictments, never dared to bring the cases
to trial in open court where the accused could
have an opportunity to defend himself.
Their only object in procuring indictments
was to disgrace the man complained Of
They never intended to have the cases tried
but used the secret grand jury system to
hold an exparte trial and then, being able to
say their victim "must be rascal, for he had
been indicted ~ the grand jury !" they sneak
ed away to their dens of slime and SANDER
and allowed the indictments to be quashed
or the cases to be abandoned There NAV
have been a time when the grand jury sys-
tenn, IN the hands of honorable men, was
useful in suppressing crime but that time
has passed. The proper way is to proceed
against criminals, or supposed criminals,
by information before magistrate, and ar
rest and security for appearance for trial.
The grand jury system, useless relic,
borrowed from the English law, was prac,i-
cally abolished by the Legislature of Michi-
gan some eight years ago. 1t has had, there.
fore, fair trial in that state, and the result
Is that its abolition gives general satisfaction.
The Attorney General of Michigan, in late
report, thus alludes to the workings
land the best evidence, to my mind, of its
WISDOM Is that In this state grand jurors, of late,
have very seldom been called, and that. during
the two years was prosecuting attorney of NV
own county, and the four years next thereafter
that had the honor of being attorney general
OF the state, no complaint came to me, or as far
as know or believe, anywhere existed on the
part OF any one, of the abuse of this information
system. great saving of expense to the peo-
pie open and ingenious, characterized by no OBJ
scure or unfair proceeding attended by no unusual
OF unnecessary delay, and allowed the largest lib
srty for complete defense or extension on the
part of the accused, it is now impossible. tested
as 1t has been By almost eight years experience.
and with the results above stated to do ntbar,,.a
than insist that it is no longer an experiment bnt
ono of the fixed, wisest and best features of onr
law; and az such, to heartily, confidently and
proudly commend it to all anxious inquirers after
judicial reform"
The Michigan papers all state that there
Is no disposition to return to the system they
have discarded.

Admitting that Grants last trip to Rich
mond assisted in crushing the rebellion, was
it all the work of Grant that caused the reb-
ell armies to crumble Did not General
Grant, in a private letter to General Sher-
Sherman, which was Published in political
newspapers without denial, acknowledge

coming up to the south of Richmond cut
ting off the supplies of the rebels, caused
them to realize their destiny, and to succumb
to the two federal armies north and south.

to General Grant, as some of the dominant
radical demogogues would have the people

believe can fill the programme. And should
he become the nominee for the presidency
on the side of republicanism, he and his IA

sweep them and their political negro suffrage
schemes so far into nonentity that they will
never be heard from again, only to be ridi.
