GRAND Jury REPORT.

The Grand Jury of the Criminal Court
made the following report to Judge Hud-
son yesterday:
To he Hon. Judge of The C5imigdI Court:
May it please your honor the Grand
Jury, in conformity to your charge, have
visited the Jail, and have made critical in
vestigatiOns of the several departments.
Upon our last visit, this Saturday morn
ing, we found seventy prisoners, twenty
six of whom are condemned. 1t affords
us pleasure to state hat we are highly
gratitied with the administration of J. p.
Foster. The Jail, in all its departments,
is clearly, and we are informed that none
but the unreasonable can justly complain
of him.
We directed our attention specially to
the quality and quantity of the food
given the prisoners. So far as we could
get information, we are of the opinion
that the quality Of the food is good, and
the quantity is in accordance to the requi-
sitions of the code, with one exception to-
wit: They do not get vegetables once
every day. They should have them, even
for reasons irrespective of the demands of
the law.
There are complaints that the meats
are not always sufficiently cooked, which
could be quelled by more frequent atten-
tions on the part of the contractors dur
ing the time of their meals.
There are complaints also coming from
the negroes that they do not get corn
bread and bacon; these arise from the fact
hat they nave been accustomed to this
kind of food all their lives, and they love
it, n uniformly desire it. We learn they
have literally been fed on "light-bread
and beef" If il can be accomplished I'M
der the code and the contract, we respect
fully suggest that cornbread and bacon
and soup be provided the prisoners.
The food prescribed by the code is not
such as those who are SICK can relish, nor
is it always adapted to their condition.
We recommend that, if possible, the sick
may have such fosd as the physician of
the Jail may select, In this connection
we wOuld communicate that DIR. QUimby,-
and we believe the Superintendent also,
are of the opinion that the Jail has not a
sufficient number of guards, neither for
general security nor to give the conva-
lescing sick the exercise which they real
" need in order to early restoration. We
recommend a change in relation to this.
Complaints are made in regard to insult
ficient bedding. In several cells we saw
but one thin blanket. II is evident to US,
upon investigation, that these complain
ants have wiekedly and waRtonly de-
stcoyed their blankets, and in some in
stances their bedding. In these cases
the blankets and bedding have not

suffering consequent is allowed
to be the penalty they have pro-
cured by their own depravity. While
we are the advocates of humanitarian
views, we do not know hat we are ready
to recommend a change in this oourse of
the superintendent at the present hour.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

HOW 1T is DONE.
Another Way Of Putting Nancy in the Purse
Of Radical Once Holders.

Noticing several enormous piles of doe
uments in the Sherih's Office yesterday,
marked " State of Tennessee VS.. s.
FIeri FaciaS," we thought we would take
a peep into n learn the contents of some
of them. We found they were all orders
from Judge Hudson, of the Criminal
Court, to the Sheriff to collect the follow
ing sums from delinquent jurors:
Fine for eontempt~.."..~..........S25 90
Attorney-General---.-..- ................ 2 so
Clerks fees..~".-..... .-...~..--...... 2 IS
Total..-.......... $50 IS
We asked the ever polite and courteous
A. j. Wheeler how many of these "iery
faces" he had. about five hundred"
was the reply.
We then began to examine the names,
and ask afew questions as to how so many
jurors came to commit contempt, and the
matter was thus explained:
When some case comes up on which
there is a probability of there being some
difficulty in e~mpanelling a jury, the order
is given to the sheriff to summon five
hundred or a thousand Jurors. The Sher-
if obeys orders, and issues his summons.
proceeding in the regular way. The jury,
however, is picked out of the first fifty,
sixty or hundred that come along. The
others, learning this fact, think that il is
not necessary to put in an appearance. In
this, however, it seems they are fooled,
for the Judge has, in every such case
where the party is able to pay it, issued
his teri JGeidS as above.
We are informed that in every instance,
so far, the contempt fine (S25l has been
RENTED, but the Attorney-General's and
Clerks fees are collected with scrupulous
punctuality.
In the Leonard case, there were one
thousand jurors ordered to be summoned,
and meanwhile a change of UeHUe was
granted. In spite of, and after the change,
the same order was made in regard to all
those who did not come up and answer to
their names.
If this is not an outrage On a cOmmuni-
ty, we would like to know what it ISL

L&oAA1Aa
NOVEMBER 20, lS69-We, the under
signed officers and passengers on board
steamer Rubicon, hereby certify that the
Facts as stated above are correct.
w. H. Blake, Capt, Aft. GIBSON, Clerk
VIM p. Bust, Pilot, G. W. Rod. Stewar d
Mamie Robinson, Mrs. NJ. f. Hudson
Alicia Brown,
In addition to the above I desire to
call the attention of steamhOatmen to the
taet that the bose was lying hooked up
alongside the boilers, uncoiisd and ready
fOr Immediate use, thus preventing un-
necessary delay In extinguishing the fire,
and II was owing mainly to this fact thai
the boat was saved. l viii further add.
that the safety of the passengers was am-
ply provided for, in case Of the destruc-
ton OF the boat, by good lfe-preservers,
hung up in every room, accessible to all
the passengers.
"Sinee writing the above, the mate
states that there is one man, a deck hand.
missing, supposed TO be lost. I omitted
to make mention of the heroic conduct Of
the pilot, who, while the flames were
raging around him, stood nObly to his
post until the boat was secure to the river
bank. 1t would be difficult to single out
the individual acts Of heroism. where 40
much praise is due to all. 81. W.
