REPORT
REPORT
OF TIE
GRAND JURY
on THE CONDITION OF THE
ALMSHOUSE & JAIL.
NOVEMBER TERM, 1870.

To the Honorable, tile Judges
Of the Circuit Court for Hartford Co.:
The Grand Jury for November Term,
1870, beg leave to submit this Report as
required by law.
We congratulate your Honors upon the
steady Improvement of the public morals,
as indicated by the small number of cases
of high crimes and misdemeanors that
have been brought to our notice-not q
single case involving loss of life having
been before us.
We visited the Almshouse, and we found
therein thirty-one paupers eighteen whites
and thirteen blacks-of whom six of the
latter are insane.
We are gratitied to be able to state that
we found the paupers kept, and the farm
cultivated, as we'll as can be expected,
considering the nature of the buildings
that shelter the paupers and the character
of the labor which is chiefly employed up
on the farm.
We are particularly pleased with the
general management of the Institution by
the present excellent superintendent, and
we think that no better selection could be
made for the position.
We respectfully suggest to the proper
authorities, however, that the laws of the
State which requires that regular accounts
be kept of the receipts and expenditures
of the Almshouse, and of the particulars
respecting names, date of admittance and
other circumstances concerning the in
mates of the Almshouse, has necer been
complied with, and we respectfully request
that the necessary books, substantially
bound and with proper printed headings,
be procured for this purpose. We deem
this important, not only in order to COM
ply with the plain law of the State, but in
order that such knowledge of the affairs
of the Institution may be always accessi
BILE as will insure the most intelligent and
economical administration of the business
connected Herewith.
We have also visited the Jail and we
found it and the inmates as well kept as
we consider it possible for them to be kept !;
but we do not hesitate to say that to con-
fine human creatures in such dens as the
cells therein is positively 6arbaaous, and if
the slightest attention had been paid to
former complaints of Grand Juries, we
would earnestly call for the erection of a
new Jail.
We found therein: Insane persons, 8 +;
indicted for stealing, z; indicted for rape,
1 indicted for assault, Q; charged with
poisoning, l.; charged with stealing, ri
total, IS. N'aa
We would be glad to see the yard sur
rounding the Court House kept in better
condition, and we hope steps will be TAX
en- to keep hogs and other stray animals
out of it. "

The Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayette Rail
road and Connections.

The recent completion Of arrangements by
the indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayette
Railroad, for running through trains over
the indianapolis, Bloomington and Western
Railway, gives occasion to notice the extern
sive connections now afforded our city in
that direction. This new lines make up
run direct through Charlottesville, Danvile,
Peoria, Gaesburg and Burlington to Omaha
and it is probable that al no distant day the
Pullman palace cars will be run without
change from Baltimore through Cincinnati
to Omaha The new route to Omaha short
tens the distance full seventy miles. Under
the name of the Cincinnati and St. Louis
Railway, the l., G. and l.. Railway Compa-
ny has now a very important through route
over the ST. Louis, Vandalia and Terre Haute
Railroad to st. Louis Three passenger
trains run each way daily on fast time The
connection which the l., G.. and l.. road has at
Lafayette with the Toledo, Wabash & West
ern and beyond that with the Hannibal and
st. Joseph Railway, affords direct line to
Kansas City, which is known as the 'Cincin-
natl and Kansas City Air Line" The lun,
ming arrangements are close and expeditions
Last, but not least in the list of the impor-
tant relations that the l., G. and i. Road has
TO the railway system of the West, is its
short lines to Chicago, either by Lafayette or
Hagerstown We have in these arrange
ments of the indianapolis, Cincinnati and
Lafayette Road, practically, five trunk lines,
passing over lands that for agricultural re-
sources can not be surpassed Indeed, of
them it may be said, that not an acre of
the territory contiguous to them is inferior
i'll quality, and from them all, our city has
reason to rely on having permanently large
trade In the increased competition in the
business to be afforded by connection with
the hundreds of thriving towns that line
these various trunk roads, Cincinnati will
sustain herself successfully no less to their
advantages than to her own,
From the above, which we take from the
Cincinnati Enquirer of a late date, it appears
that the Queen City" is fast increasing her
railroad facilities, from which a renewed
impetus will be given to her commercial and
manufacturing interests, which for some
years past have been rather on the wane
1t will be seen that it is expected in
n very short time to have the Pullman
palace cars running direct from Balti-
more, by way Of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, through Cincinnati, to Omaha and
from thence to the Pacific. Thus it is that
our great public works are becoming what
their friends originally claimed for them,
sources of wealth and prosperity TO our COM
mercial emporium Baltimore, and necessari-
ly, to the entire State

HOW THE MISSOURI LIBERALS FEEL TO-
WARDS HIM.
The st. Louis Democrat, organ of the
Schurz-B Brown party, talks to the Presi-
dent in plain language. SchurZ recently
paid the President visit; sent in his
card, and was kindly informed that the
President was "not at home" But we
copy from the Democrat;
What is it that the people disapprove
We can inform you, sir. They deem it an
outrage that you have tried to control a
State election by gross abuse of your pow
er of removal and appointment. They
maintain that it is wrong for President
to use that power to force himself upon
the people for second term. THEY desire
you, IN future, to pay better attention to your
ooon duties at Washington-.the duties qchich
your masters, the people, assigned to you, and
not to spend your time in meddling with
State elections. 1t seems to the people
that you deserve secere rebuke, alike for
neglecting your legitimate affairs, and for
abusing the power intrusted to you, and,
being treemen, neither awed by your name
nor seduced by your officers, they give
you that rebuke very plainly.
The first duty of q President is to keep
the pledges made to the people when a
candidate. This you have not done.
You promised to give the country peace,
and pledged yourself to a platform in
which the removal of political disabilities
was most prominent feature. Soon af-
ter you became President, you meditated
compliance with this pledge by proclaim
ing amnesty, and again by recommending to
Congress removal of liabilities, but in
each case INSCRIPTIONS partisans, who want
still longer to be able to elect mere tools
of their own from Southern States, turned
you from your purpose. AZ this day yom
are their tool. Simon Cameron, as unsavory

its delivery to Congress, in order to addition

ture publication.

Homicide in Baltimore County,

The Towsontown Herald gives the following
account of u most unfortunate affair that oc-
cured in that neighborhood last week:
John Carville Bayne, ia son of John Bayne
Esq, living on the Joppa road, about three
miles from this town. George Brown and
others had gone out cunning on Thursday
morning About 8 o'clock Bayne and
Brown were on the place of John G. Pierce
on the Gunpowder falls, near Cromwelrs
bridge Mr.. Pierce states that he was then
working in one of his fields and heard shoot
ing over hill near him. He had gun with
him in the field, and picked it up and went
over to where he heard the shooting, where
he found Bayne and Brown. Mr. Pearce Or
dered them off his place, when all alteration
ensued, ending in Mr.. Pearce shooting Bayne
The load from Pearce's gun entered Bayne's
abdomen in the upper part, inflicting neces-
sarily fatal wound. After the shooting Mr.
Pearce carried the wounded man to his own
house, summoned physician, (Dr. j. H. Jar.
rett, of this town. but all efforts to save him
were unavailing, and Bayne died about 10
o'clock. Mr.. Pearce then sent the dead man
home in his own wagon. Late in the even
ing Sheriff Burke proceeded to Mr.. Pearce's
residence and arrested him, and he is ROW
in Jail. The deceased was aged about nine
teen years, and was very much respected.
Mr.. Pearce is one of our best citizens, and
this unfortunateatfairis universally regretted.

as il go" cere has hired man. 1t is discred-
liable that President should be so con-
trolled by any one; dOubly discreditable
that he should be controlled by such a
man; trebiy discreditable that he Should
be led to depart from the solemn pledges
by which his election was secured.

SCARLET FEvER.-The cases of scarlet
fever which prevail in the family of Mr..
Hugh Rogers, in this town, we are glad to
learn are rapidly improving, and the crisis of
the disease has passed, without fatal results
No other persons in the ncighborhood have
been attacked, and as yet it is confined to
the premises of the gentleman above named.
Every precaution should still, however, he
exercised, as the danger is not yet over.

of the low rates at which packers are now
