AN ENTERPRIsING GRAND JURY.


The Grand Jury Of Cook County, on Monday,
made, perhaps, the most surprising prcsentment
that wae ever received by Court from {. Grand
Jury. 1t WAS go impertinent in it's allegations
and assumptions that Judge Rogers Was COM
PEELED to declare it not only extraordinary, but
vicious and criminal. Tho Grand Jury presented
to the Criminal Court, as fact that has become
notorious and a theme Of general conversation
among all claases," that it is useless for the
Grand Jury to find an indictment against GRIM
inal. It declares that "the energetic
States Attorney grows hoarBe in the dis-
charge OF his arduous duties," but all
lis labors are rendered fruitleas because our
"chief law officers grant pardons and upset
7erdicts. The Grand Jury, therefore, warns the
Criminal Court, and all other Courts. tribunals,
and officers that sooner or later the people will
take the law in their own hands and administer
it their own wny.''
The careful reader Of this document will hard
1y fail to recognize it's clear INTENT purpose and
object. The Executive, Judicial, and Legislative
departments Of the Government of the State
are held crininally responsible for the failure
to punish crime in Chicago, and the
weakness or turpitude Of the Supreme
Court. the Governor, and OF al other officers,
is rendered moro evident By contrast with the
"energetic States Attorney" who grows hoarso
IN Lis never-ending demand for tho punishment
Of the guilty: and his remonstrances against tile
exercise Of the pardoning power by tbs Cover
nor. The intimation is, that unless the Supreme
Court and the other branches Of tile Government
take heed, the people, with their energetic
States Attorney and @ Grand Jury at their head,
will take the law in their own hands, dispensing
with Courts, Petit Juries, sherifs, Governors,
and Legislatures altogether, There are now
between, one and two hundred stalwart
fellows in Chicago who have been pardoned
upon the State's Attorneys official recommends
tioni there arc good many other persons un-
der Indictment by Grand Juries for ali tho
crimes known to the Law, who are out on for
feited bail. These chaps share with the Grand
Jury the high appreciation Of the energetic
Stase's Attorney; have IN equal contempt for
tho Supreme Court and al the other Courts;
and are prepared, at any moment, to form vig-
i1anco committee to hang every officer OF the law
in the State.

under any circumstances, suggest that mob law
may take the place Of the administration Of JUS

Thirty, now meeting at Versailles, their views OF
the reforms needed to assure peace to France.
They think that Theirs should hold the Presi-

should be added to the officers Of tie Govern

that the Ministers should be responsible, IN

an immediate dissolution and general election
but BY dividing itinto classes, one Of which shall

Secretary, evidence that the Homo Government

Ihe conflict in Louisiana grows in Intensity.
The Legislature declared elected By Judge Du-
rell, Of the United States Court, met On Monday,
and at once proceeded to impeach Governor
Warmoth. The other Legislature, being pro-
hibited by Judge Dureu from assembling, held
meeting with closed doors. The Kellogg Leg
islaturo having resolved to impeach Warnott,
declared him suspended, and Lieutenant Coy
ernor Pinchback (co1ored assumes to be Coy
ernor. In the meantime, Warmoth and al tho
other State officers hold possession Of the pub
lie Offices, and propose to do 80 until the expira-
tion Of their torms. The Kellogg Legislature
will next week elect Kellogg to tho Unitedstates
Senate, thus leaving the way to Cato Cnsar
Antoine (colored) to be Governor. The othor
Legislature will in due time elect some person
to the United States Senate, and will declare
that McEnery is the true Governor-elect. It is
probable that, as this whole affair has been
brought about to secure the election Of Kellogg
to the Senate, as soon as that eyant takes place
he will abandon his adherents to fight ont the
battle alone. He seems to have acted under the
Impression that the United States Senate will
admit him, no matter by what process be gets
there. Mr. Kellogg, it will be remembered, is,

A communication haVi ng been printed in tho
Army and Many journal charging intellectual
inactivity and unwonted aristocracy upon the
officers Of tile United States army, and also
blaming the Vest Point Academy for these
characteristics, General Sherman has replied
in letter to the editor, entering general
denial Of the allegations, and making vigorous
defence Of the army officers. Ho maintains
that the nauteriel OF the United States army is
fully up to the standard OF my other army in
tho world, and that there exists rs many adyan-
tages for mental and physical education in the
present organization rs wero enjoyed by Meade
and Thomas, Mcpherson and A1ower, Grant and
Sheridan. He insists that, in the present
distribution OF the army forces, where
the officers are scattered in wild and unin-
the limits Of civilization, no set Of men could
maintain closer union with the elements Of
progress and education; and he attests that,
everywhere, the army officers take With them
such libraries, schools, and other ties Of ciYili-
cation Us their means afford. General Sher-
man refuses to shoulder the responsibility OF
West Point education upon the army. he says
that this institution is directly under the control
and supervision Of Congress- and that the army
has nothing more to do With it than with Yale or
Harvard He does not mean by this to condemn
the West Point schooling Or discipline. He
says, indeed, that he sincerely wishes that all
army vacancies could be filled by West Point
graduates; but that the education there is, after
all, only elementary. The real education Of the
soldier begins with his active service, and the
American army, General Sherman holds, is rs
good school as any other.

ALL fhO3VoGU 4HGhEAhE VE IEE NAVY.
The action OF the House OF Representatives
in amending the bill for the construction OF ten
s1oops-o ofwar, by reducing the number to six. is
very commendab1e. The construction depart
ment Of OUT naval history does not yet show
that re arc able to build navy worthy OF the
name, and, it NO are going into ship-building, it
is preferable to commence with few at first,
and see how wo succeed, rather than to under
take the building Of navy, and squander mill
iona Of money to no purpose, as has been done
heretofore. Our navy yards are full
Of vessels laid up in ordinary; OF
hu1ka which nero commenced years
ago and have never been finished OF
completed vessels, which lack the first element
Of successful navigation, that is the capacity to
float and Of huge and heavi1y-armed steam
vessels, intended for ocean purposes, which are
not seaworthy, and can only be made available
for coast defence In addition to these, aome
have been destroyed and q large number sold to
any one who would purchase, without regard to
bids or prices. Mr. Beck, in his remarks while
the bill was pending, alleged that, dur
ing the past five years, AL vessels
belonging to the navy Ind been
disposed Of in various Ways. In view Of such
facts as these, and thatit is not the province Of
the Navy Department to build vessels for sale
but for use, it is better to determine whether We
can build six vessels than VII ether ve can build
q navy. In case the bill should pass the Senate,
the question may possibly be answered, as three
of the sloops will be built in Government
and three in private yards but it
must be confessed that the record
of cur navy ship-building for several years past
has not been sufficiently brilliant to inspire any
confidence that the six sloops-of-war contem-
p1ated in the bill will be OF any practical uge
after they arc built. It is rather remarka BILE.
however, that our ship-buillers can launch some
Of the finest merchant vessels in the world,
that our foundries can turn out the best and
heaviest Of ornaments, and that We cannot
build frst~c1ass war vessels. If the reason for
this is sought, it will bo more likely to be found
in the inevitable jobbery and ring contracts
which have degraded tho navy service from it's
once high position, rather than in any want Of
skill among American slip-bui1ders. Meanwhile,
the House has done we'll to so cut down and
amend the bill as to make the construction OF
these vessels an experiment, costly though it
mny be. Il ship-building for the Government
is to be bnngled and mismanaged as it has been
for the past fifteen or twenty years, ne had
better stop it altogether. There are better sail
ing qualities and more endurance to-day in some

TIE WAY TO TREAT CONSTIPATION. DR..
Good win ". Tins, of tie North London
Ilospital. furnishes to the Dublin Medical
Press and Cjrcuior the following results OF
his experience in managing this fatal disease
Nc may sum up shortly our treatment OF
consumption: Light, simple and nourishine
diet, in quantity always in proportion to the
appetite of the individual (the palate is an
excellent guide, which we should be always
afraid to ofiend), all wholesome fruits aud
vegetables, IA moderate amount of thoroughly
cooked meat, and dilutents, tea, milk whey
etc., according to the patients experience,
avoiding all stmulants and forcing of the APP
petite. Regimen: excitement Of the skin 10y
constant cleanliness, friction, and woolen
clothing; fresh air sea air if possible; exercise
of every kind, gymnastic exercises, singing
reading; the avoidance Of every restriction by
dress upon the chest walls, and Of Incidence
and seIf-indulgcnce Of every kind; the exclu
sion of gas from all apartments inhabited by
the Invalid; early hours, and as short IA So
iourn as possible III the same atmosphere
hence It is better 10 take short sleep in the
day Than TO remain more than six Or seven
hours in the bedroom, the windows Of which
should never he shut except upon particular
occasions or under peculiar circumstances.
Drug treatment: an obstinate cough with
eypcctoration in the member of a consump.
tive family, upaccompanied by much general
disturbance is most successfully treated by
twelve or fifteen drops Of dilute bydrochloric
acid in cue ounce of wafer every two hours.
Patients often declare that they taste the
chlorine in the eXpectoraion.
An obstinate dry cough, accompanied by
cmaciation, debility and fever, is very sue
cessfuily treated by half an ounce Of cod-liver
oil three times day, after meals, in a
dranght containing onc-iifteenth Of grain OF
bichloride of mercury. Either Of these rem
edies is good in all stages Of the disease,
with or without oil.
In children cod-liver oil alone is very sue
cossful as age advances, the remedial power
of cod-liver oil is diminished.
Steel is only to be given for Il few days al
Il time. All asirinoents, except for special
objects, are injurious. The citrate or tartrate
of soda or potash should be given occasion
ally, and these salines are quite as generally
useful as STEEL
Mild laxatives occasionally are very bene-
fetal p lis Of gray powder and rhubarb fol
young, and a mild aloetc pill for the middle
aged will tempt the practitioner who tries
them to very frequent use. Trying to help
towards the successful treatment of a few
varieties of consumption, itwoud not become
me to condemn any drugs recommended by
other practitioners. So intractable is the
disease thet every new remedy ought to
have fair trial. Familiar with the idea OF
patients being induced TO swallow the urine
of the boa constructor, and the pancreatic
fluid Of a pig, if patient were to tell me
that lie had found benefit from imbibing the
saliva of goat, should not hesitate to re-
commend him to persevere in its use.
