EFThe resolution intrnduced into

nThe resolution introduced into the
constitutional convention to abolish the
entire grand jury system is probably little
too broad and sweeping to command sup
port: but the scope and privileges of the
grand juries, under the present customs
aud legislations. might be modified to good
purpose. The grand jury has come to be,
without doubt, the most arbitrary and irres-
ponsibe body under the laws. 1t need
hesitate at nothing; in fact, it does not
hesitate, but often exercises a power that
is far from Discretionary expresses opin-
ions for which any other man or body of
me.i could be made to suffer in law; damns

which is always inseparabe from irrespon-
sibility in numbers; and has, in the days
of its existence, done thousands of things
that should never have been done. There

The legislature.

This august body organized itself for
work on :he 18th inst.
The Hon. j. NJ Bine CHAM, of Jefferson
county, was elected Speaker of the Assem-
bly,. A very creditable choice indeed.
MIR. Bingham is radical of the blsckest
dye; yet strangely combining with his pol
itics the highest qualities of q gentleman,
scholar, and Par,iamentarian. He will
make good presiding officer.
The Assembly, as well as the Senate. is
largely Republican. Therefore, all that the
pemoc ats can do is to uatch and object.
Still we hope TO see them try to do more.
Let them propose such legislation as would,
if carried, stop up the big leaks in our
State financial matters. IF our Democrat
ic members cannot rule, and right the
wrongs Of the people of the State, they can
show to the people where those leaks are
and what wrongs hey are enduring.
Our county is represented in the Senate
b. Judge Reed, and in the Assembly by
Carl II. Schmidt, John Barth and NJ.
Fitzgerald.
We expec, that the dome. of the Canitol
will tremhle with the eloquence of each of
those gentlemen. pleading for the rights of
a dovn-trodden State.

property holders and business men
of Victoria, to be followed by another
which will contain the names of all
the British merchants and others of
Victoria and other places, in favor Of
the transfer Of British Columbia to

The President to-day returned to
Collier verbal reply that he had
read it with great interest, and had
sent it to the Secretary of State. Mr..
Collier also showed the memorial to
Senator Sumner, Chairman of the
on Foreign Relations,
who, after reading it, said the move
ment was important and could have
but one termination. In the mean.

Proposed Grand Reunion Of
Iowa Soldiers.

AOvV" SVAOlCuSs
Gov. Merrill, in reply to a note
from Gen. Hedrick in relation to a
Reunion of Iowa soldiers, says:
"Some eighteen months since l
promised several soldiers that if they
would defer their efforts at Regi-
mental and Brigade Unions, which,
on account of expense, had been, to
some extent, failures, would make
an attempt to have one grand Re
union, with little expense to them,
some time during my term. After
correspondence, / have the generous
proposition from the railroad COM
panies crossing the State to compli-
ment the soldiers of the late war
with a ticket to and from the Capital,
and to charge shoulder Straps" half
fare. / have taken the responsibility
as Governor to accept this liberal
proposition, and will, therefore, after
comforting with yourself and others,
issue Circular, inviting the brave
men to meet in council at the Capital,
or some other proper and convenient
locality, the last Of May or the first
of June next, for two or three days"
