Report of the Grand jury.

CiRcuIT CouRT, March Term, 1872.
To the Honorable r.. S. Fisher, Judge Of the
Twelfth Judicial District of the State Q,
Mississippi:
We, the Grand Jurors of Pamela
County, have the honor to report
that, in those matters within the
proper scope of our duties as Grand
Jurors, we have carefully considered
of all cases coming before us during
the present term of this court--havo
found and returned true bills in those
cases wherein we thought justice de-
mandoi, and have ignored all bills
which we thought frivolous.
We have examined the county
jail, and find it in good condition for
the safe keeping of, and sufficiently
comfortable for, the offenders against
the law, and that the same is, in all
respects, properly attended to by the
keeper thereof.
We have examined the Offices of
the chancery and circuit clerks, re-
spectively, and find the same in good
condition for the safety Of the public
records, and we are satisfied that the
records are properly and securely
kept.
The poorhouse being considerably
distant from the countryside, it has
been impracticable for us to make
an examination thereof. but, on in1
quiry, we learn and are satisfied the
same is under a proper and skillful
management, receiving due care and
attention, AMI is being conducted to
the best interest Of the county as
we'll as the inmates thereof.
With regard to violation OF the
law in our county, we are gratltied
to report that there has been but lit
tie for US to de- that there has been
q manifest decrease in crime, and
those cases coming before US OF vio'
lations Of the law have not been Of
high grade or aggravatlng character,
and we have never known better
order to prevail in the county thai
at the ptesent time, owing in a grea'
measure, as we must believe, to thu
efficiency of our county officers

, oBicers-who have been prompt II

may continue to preside as judge 0

Bold Robbery.

Our community were shocked on
Thursday morning to learn that the
safe OF Drs. Kinchloe & Wright,
Druggists, had been robbed of fifteen
hundred dollars on the night before,
by their temporary k-keeper, r,
II. Strauss, and that the william had
fed on the o'clock p. m. train. These
gentlemen had every confidence in
the honesty of this man, as very
nearly every one else, as he had been
living in the place three years, and
conducted himself with perfect pro-
priety, and had succeeded in winning
the good opinion of the community,
as to rise to the degree of Royal
Arch in the order of A. T. and A.
Masons, and had received the kindest
and most generous treatment from
Drs. Kinchloe & Wright, they hav>
ing permitted him to have a room
over their store, and when not en-
ployed at his trade, which was a ma
chinest, they employed him in post
ing their books at night, and gave
him free access to the store, and it
has been their custom to put their
money in the vault Of their iron safe
and leave the outer door open so
that the books could be placed in
the safe after they were posted at
night, and then the combination OF
the lock turned on, which combina-
ton after being locked, Strauss did
not know. On Wednesday evening
there was left in the safe fifteen hun
dred dollars in gold and greenbacks,
and the vault locked, but the outer
door left for Strauss to close and
turn on the combination. The Gu
pidity of this man, who had beer
treated with every mark of kindness
by the owners of the money, wa!
greater than his honesty and graft
tude, and picking the lock Of thu
vault, which was easily done, he tool
every dollar of money that was il
the safe, and closing it he took tn
down train for Grenada, at 8 o'clock
The robbery was discovered in tw'
hours after it had been committed
but there being no operator at 6ren
ada, a dispatch could not be sent t
stop the thief, but every effort ha
been made to arrest him, and a re
wald of five hundred dollars offere'
for his arrest. The thief was a Ger
! man by descent, and spoke broke
English, about FIVE feet eleven inche
high, fair complexion, light blu
eyes, and has an intelligent face. II
wears a heavy light mustache, wit
dark hair cut long.

large deficiency In the American cotton crop
last year was not followed by any corresponding
reduction in consumption either1n this country
or In Europe, and neither the scarcity OF the
American staple or the comparatively high
prices that have ruled for II during the last
Jew months produced any effect In stimulat-
ing supplies from other sources. The results
are that at the present rate of consumption
the supply of cotton from all quarters Will
only barely suffice mill the new American
crop becomes available. But even mere there
Ia difficulty; cotton spinners In England man
ifest great and increasing repugnance TO the
use OF East India cotton. Nearly four hundred
thousand bales are now lying almost unsafe
able In Europe. The reluctance to use 1t may
be best illustrated by the fact that although
American cotton Is now from seven 10 ten
cents per pound higher than 1t was last year at
this time. and although the stock is being rap.
div reduced, yet the choicest kinds OF East
Indian is only to &c. per pound dearer, and
sales for average qualities are dlf1cu't ana
scarce at last years rates; and this, TOO, IN
view of O reduced supply This year from
the East. On the 30th OF May miuahnS VI

fact is, nothing but downright COTTON famine

manufactured article Is coarse and Inferior,
and has neither the textile strength nor finish
of the American article. From these and
other causes, the average consumption Of East
Indian cotton is decreasing, Willie tne con-

increasing. The high price of cotton during
the last few months has produced great de-
preston In Manchester. Many spiDners are
manufacturing without profits, aud number
