Hill the following was received from
Oakland: On the evening of the Sth inst,
John Pardue and John Beach, of Look
Glass Valley, in this county, went into
the coast range of mountains for few
hours hunt, intending to return before
dark. Diligent search has been made for
them, but no trace has been found. Some
men who went in search nearly perished.
Three out of one party of five are also
supposed to be lost as they did not return
according to agreement. Another party
of five are supposed 70 be lost. Large
companies are forming to go into the
mountains after them. 1t is almost Ger
tain they perished with cold. 1t has been
cold and foggy in the mountains, and
raining and showing continually for the
past week. 1t is still raining.
CORRECTION.
Near the close of our article in Sunday s
issue, concerning the fate OF the Montgom-
cry county children, occurs this sentence {:
s'Thus these two children, now grown, a
Tennessee young lady and young nan are
slaves. doing menisl work for unlettered
masters and mistresses in Brazil, their price
having devoted but unfortunate father S
debt" It should have read, Thus these
two children, now grown, a Tennessee
Young lady and younger mate, are slaves,
doing menial sefvitude, etc. The article
having stated all through tina both the
children were girls, the error in the sem
tence is palpable enough.

Report of the Grand jury,

The Grand Jury have presented to the
| Hon. Thomas L. Frazier, Judge OF the
Criminal Court, the following report
The Grand Jury for the January term,
1871, of the Criminal Court of Davidson
county, beg leave to report to your Honor,
that we have diligently inquired into the
solvency of the sureties of various county
officers, and find, without q single excep-
ton, that they are ample and sufficient.
| 1t Is with pleasure We say tais. We do not
think that there is county in the State
whose officers have given bonds that will
compare with Davidson county.
We have made diligent inquiry as to the
management Of the Poor House, and find
that it is all that can be asked or expected;
the inmates are kindly cared for, well fed
and well clothed, and the farm attached is
is in an early and high state of cultivation.
The pest-house has but one patient, who
is well taken care of The premises are
clean, and everything in connection with
the institution speaks well for the efficiency
Of the management.
The county Jail is kept as well rs could
be expected under the circumstances. Il
IS too small to accommodate the number
of prisoners daily sent to it from this and
OtuOH COuulAoS. We uuu JllICS6u ana IOur-
teen in a single cell, and there should not
be over four or six. We deem the build
ing entirely unsafe, and too small, badly
ventilated and badly built; but under all
the circumstances, it is kept as clean, and
the prisoners as well cared for, as could be
expected. We hear of no complaint of the
food; it is wholesome and well prepared
and abundanily furnished. We do not
think, however, that the prisoners are sup
piled with a sufficient amount of coal to
keep them comfortably warm.
We find in the jail one white woman,
said to be insane. She is in wretched
condition; almost naked, and covered with
vermin, and, as there is no charge against
her, we would respectfully recommend
that she be removed to the Lanatic
Asylum.
LNOTE. may here remark that Judge
Turner, of the County Court, made inqui-
ries Of the jailer yesterday in regard to the
white woman above referred to. The jailer
said that the woman had been furnished
clothes; but had torn them of, and that she
would not submit to be washed and made
clean. The Judge directed inquiries to be
made preparatory to sending her to the
Lunatic Asylum

this morning the situation was unchanged.
The National Guards, in obedience to
orders of the Central Republican Com
mittee, have taken up positions in various
quarters of the city, meeting with no re-
sistsnce. The majority of the National
Guards are passive and quiet. Prepara-
tions are making at the voting places
throughout the city for the communal
elections ordered by the Central Repub-
lican Committee. According to the ap-
portionment made there is one representa-.
tive to every 10000 voters. The cleo
tions will be had Wednesday, instead of
Tuesday. The press condemn the assas-
sination of the Generals, recognize only
the authority of the Assembly and declare
the present situation unendurable. Ru-
mors of every description are in circula-
ton. One says the Nationals intend to
march ON Versailles; another that the As
sembly will remove to Orleans and are

SENATE.

.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-Mr. Hamil-
ton, of Texas, appeared and took the
oath.
Mr.. Sprague read q communication
from the Governor of Rhode Island, say
ing that in accordance with the invitation
of Congress to each State to contribute
statues offtwo of the most eminent of
its citizens, now deceased, for the adorn-
ment of the old Hall of the House of
Representatives, that State had furnished
statues of Nathaniel Green and Roger
Williams. Mr.. Sprague suggested that
the Committee on Public Buildings pro-
vide for the unveiling of the Statues.
Bayard ExpIodes the Ku.KIux
- g1r EHumbug.
The Senate took up Mr.. Anthony's
resolution, limiting business to legislation
on the South, etc., when
Mr.. Bayard member of the Commit
tee on the Investigation of Southern Af-
fairs, replied at length to the speech of
MIR. Sherman's of Saturday. He said
SherInan's speech was the most out
rageous vilification of whole people ever
uttered. The developments of the testi-
mony taken in the investigation, which
was confined TO North Carolina, shows
that prisoners arrested for their politics
and without lawful warrant by the Rsdjs
cal tools, Kirk and Bergen, were most bru-
tally treated. q They were suspended
from trees, pistols pointed at them and
their lives threatened to make them con-
fess things which they knew nothing of.
The subsequent appointment Of Ber-
gen: as resident Minister to Pernam-
buco, and of Judge Settle, an i'm
portant witness on the Radical
side, indicates the appreciation which
their services had received. He
referred to the shooting of white
men by negroes in disguise, the scourg-
ing of colored woman by unknown
men, only one of whom she recognized,
and he was a negro, and similar instan-
ces where the sufferers by lswlessness
were men of property in North Carolina,
and these almost exclusively Democrats.
Radical witnesses had assisted to prove
that the best friends of law and order in
the State were to be found among Demo-
Gratis. The secret oath bound organizs-
tions of State, known as Union Leagues,
numbered $4,000 negroes. The Federal
Government had no more justification for
exercising the police power in North
Carolina than in the case of the lynching
of the Indiana express robbers, the coal
operators, combinations and various,o
RACES of robbery and murder in the States
of Massachusetts, New York and else
where. There was more security for liTe
and property in North Carolina than il
the city of Washington, D. G. One wit
ness had testified that in conversation
with Holden said he thought Gen. Grant |
would continue himself in the Presiden-
tial chair.
BiodgeLt.
The Committee on Privileges and Elec-
lions made a report in the cases of Gold.
Ihwaite, of Alabama, and Blodgett, of |
Georgia. The Committee say they had
not time to investigate the claims and
recommend admission, but their rights |
remain subject to future investigation.
Hill and Thurman of the Committe dis |
;ented as to Blodgett.
After brief executive session the Senate
adjourned.
