-Wonderment guesses, the grand jury
says, why we do not have pestilence on
account of the privy vaults in the court
house square. Why do no, the proper au-
,horites look after those vaults? There
is no reason why they should be IS horri-
bio as they are described to be by the grand
jury-no reason in the world.
After getting eleven jurymen in the
Sweeney case yesterday,the sheriff came to
a dead hault and, although he summoned
one citizen after another for two hours,

opinion He persistantly overlooked our
colored fellow-citizens who have just as
much right to sit on jury as any other
man.

The grand jury, complaining of th
courthouse square, says it docs not pr
sent an inviting aspect, has no forest o
fancy trees to ornament it, no sweet bios
SONS and flowers and blue grass, and that
Is "the receptacle for every species of lum
Der, trash and filth known in the catalogue
OF squaled wretchedness. OF course, tn,
jailer who has charge of the courthouse
square cannot make forest or fancy trees
or sweet blossoms, flowers or blue grass
grow, bu, he might prevent the square
from becoming the receptacle CT trash and
filth. Or, if it is not his duty to look after
such matters, whose duty is il?
Judge Baker, of the Alexander circuit
court, has not arrived At that high state of
development which teaches that all men
are equal, and that the colored nan is now
the possessor of all the rights possessed by
his honor. Consequently, the Judge has
not yet admitted II colorcd citizen into the
jury box, thus showing n spirit of the ku-
kluxIan kind. This fact is CT led to the
attention of the federal government, in the
hope that congressional committee may
be sent here to inquire into this gross out
rage upon tho inalienable rights of large
portion Of our sellow-citizens. A few
troops are aso desirable. Liberty ID
equality must be maintained.
The grand jury declares that the coun-

Jays the Jail is as well kept, perhaps" as
circumstances will permit. We cannot
believe that the county jailer is faultlcss
if the Jail is what the jury doscrib' it TO
be. There is no excuse for such condi-
ton of afiairs-none whatever. No hor'e
can be so lily ventilated that it viii be-
come, unless sadly neglected, as foul n
lazar-house. The city Jail is every whit
as unsuitable prison us the county Jail,
and yet the industry of McIiale, the jailer,
who with lime, water, soap and scrub
brushes, frequently renovates il, keeps it
reasonably clean and very far removed
from the foulness Of a lazar-house
