The Grand Jury Question.

Grand Jury system has been abolish
ed in Michigan, the matter of determin-
ing as to the sufficiency of evidence on
which to draw the preliminary infor-
nation being left to the judgement OF
the District Attorney, subject to the
opinion of the Circuit Judge to whom
he reports. Under the Grand Jury
system party arrested, during vaca-
ton, or even during session of the
court, subsequent to the discharge of
Grand Jury for that term, though ready
to plead guilty to the crime charged
against him, if he cannot procure bail,
is obliged to remain in jail until the
next term of the court and the conven-
ing of new Grand Jury; some times
perhaps as long as three months, as is
also frequently the case with persons
against whom no bill is found when the
Grand Jury does meet. This not only
is an injustice to the parties thus de-
tained, but involves large annual k
pense to the people of the counties N
whose jails they may be lodged, remedy
for both of which will be found in the
system adopted III Michigan, and for
the adoption of which a move has also
been made in the Legislature of Illi-
nois. Is not this matter worth looking
at by the people of Ohio and their leg
slatures?-AkrOn Beacon.

dent; the Vice Presidents consisting of

lutions reported what some considered

perance or prohibition, were adopted: !:

by the committee and unanimously
ratified by the convention:

Observation-Disclosures.

The NJ. E. Church closed its series Of
meetings on the 10th ult. with a Union
Prayer Meeting, Rev. Pringle and
members of other churches taking part
therein.
Sabbath Schools, except the Presbyte.
rian, have been suspended for the Win
ter. Mr.. John Lippincott Jr. has been
elected superintendent of the one now
in session. We feel assured that his
zeal and love for the work will make
him successful. Prof. Woods has con-
sented to give object lessons in con-
nectiOn with the school exercises. He
appears to have a deep interest in the
Sabbath School work, and is an efficient
teacher.
Mrs. Foster, formerly a resident of
this place was buried here on the 23rd.
One night last week some one went
to Mr.. Braxton the undertaken, and
gave directions for making coffin for a
sick lady here, but not being told the
time appointed for burial he sent a
messenger for necessary information,
who found the lady alive and the fam
lily ignorant of the whole affair; COM
ment upon such conduct is unnecessary.
Latest Dodge-dodging a subpoena,
lady refuses to go to Court because she
doesn't believe in courting.

Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1871-03-02

LAST WEEK we published a lettel
from Sewellsville, complaining of the
condition of school-houses, the neglect
lof parents and school officers, and the
general antiquity of every thing. This
week we have received two letters con-
tradicting each. other upon the same
subject condition of the schools. From
this we infer that some trouble has in
terrupted the peace of that neighbor-
hood. To the writer over the signature
of Teacher" we would say that s.
is not the only village in the County
where teachers might complain of ne
glect on the part of parents, and COM
plete indifference on the part of school
officers. Nor is its the only school in
which pupils are encouraged in rebel
lion against the teacher. Yet while
this may be true, and while Directors
may be deserving of blame in neglect
ing to furnish the room with proper ap-
paratus, the quarrel, or opposition be
tween teachers and pupils is too often
owing to the teachers want of fitness
for the position. Reform is most gen.
orally secured by peaceful means.
