values it is Of the utmost consequence, that
every department Of the municipal govern
ment should be conducted with the least pos
sibe cost. It is your privilege to inquire into
the amount Of county charges, and report
whether they exceed their proper limits.
The Aims House and the Jail should be
carefully examined, with the view Of ascertain
ing whether their inmates, those who have
been compelled by misfortune TO throw them
selves upon the charity Of the county, or,
those detained under process OF law, are treat
ed with due consideration and humanity.
The occupants Of the Jail are generally per-
sons accused, but not convicted, and poor
witnesses, unable 10 give security for their
appearance The latter class, although en-
tirely innocent Often suffer long and painful
imprisonment without the slightest imputation
of wrong. Power, is prone TO degenerate in
to tyranny; discipline, into despotism; the
prisoner, and the pauper, are exposed to their
exercise, unseen whence the strictest vigil
lance is necessary to prevent their abuse.
Besides Your legal powers as the Grand In
quest to institute prosecutions for all actual
violations Of the criminal law, you may exer-
else most sautary moral influence, by in
fusing by your example prompttude and en-
ergy into all judicial proceedings.
Masters, as yon are, in a great measure, of
your own movements, if the Grand Jury dis
plays activity and industry in the transaction
of their affairs, an impetus is given to all the
criminal proceedings Of the county, which
essentially to the despensation Of
justice, and the deduction ofpubc expenses. a
All persons accused Of crime are entitled 10
a speedy trial, delays are often equivalent TO a
denial of justice; ard however the investiga-
ton may terminate, unnecessary delay is ille-
gal oppression.

Funeral of General Hardee.

SELMA, ALA. November s.--The remains of
General w. j Hardee reached this city this
morning, and were met At the depot by a vast
concourse of citizens. The stores were closed
and business suspended, and our whole people
united in honoring our illustrious dead The
remains were escorted by a long procession to
the Generals late residence; and, at 3 p. NJ,
the funeral services were performed in the
Episcopal Church by Rev. DR.. Clements. An
other immense procession escorted the remains
TO the church, which was packed. When the
services were concluded the procession reform
ed, and the remains were taken to the cemete-
ry. In the cortege was the Generals old black
warehouse ''Shiloh,N with an empty saddle
and his old Confederate gray coat upon it. All
classes and conditions united 10 honor Hardee,
and the funeral, with the exception of General
Lees, was the largest that ever took place in
Selma. Thousands were at the cemetery, for
the people loved Hardee.

For the Sentinel a.

| Mr.. Editor, AS one Of those democrats who
felt aggrieved at the manner in which the de-
mocratic party of the county has been manipu-
lated for some years past, particularly in the
little regard manifested by its present leaders
for those principles which ever guided the
party in i:s palmiest days, not the least i'm
portant of which is the "sirictest economy in
the evils of which the people complained could
have been best corrected through an indepen-
dent movement of real democrats aided by the
cooperation Of such of the so-called republic
cans as were really anxious to aid in the desi-
red reform.
The late election, however, has shown that
our efforts in that direction did not meet the
endorsement Of majority of the people, and
it is now our duty to acquiesce in that result.
And although we had our reasons las stated
above) for the course we took in the matter,
yet, now that the election is over and its de-
cision against US, we shall not abate one jot or
little in onr fealty to the same old principles
of democracy, or lag behind the foremost 10
that grand movement now going on all over
the country, to resist the further encroach-
ment Of those insidious ideas of Capitalization
which under the guise Of Republicanism, must
now be met, as met they were by our fathers
in 1898, when, under another and quite differ
ent NAME they threatened to strange the Con-
federacy in its infancy.
The recent democratic victories all over the
country, especially in the three great States of
Ohio, New York and Virginia, are but the be-
ginning of glorious end and, Independent
of their inspiring effect, contain the pointed
significance: that wherever the democratic
party has purged itself of all those extraneous
elements Switch have hitherto worked its de-
feat-and entered the contest by planting it.
self squarely on the pure and unmixed princi-
pies Of lis ancient faith, those principles have
borne it on to certain victory. And should
that grand and imperishable old party but
pursue the same course until the des of No
vember 1876, there will be such an uprising of
old mosshack democrats and stay-at-home
hunkers of the old Jeffersonian faith, as will
then sweep out of existence the corrupt and
infamous rabble now holding high carnival
over the tattered remains of a once glorious
Constitution, and remand the country, once
more, TO lis former condition of prosperity
and happiness. P.

THE DEAD DEMOCRACY 1T must have been
a matter of surprise to the Radicals to see the
dead democracy moving about so lively at the
recent elections. So many funeral discourses
had been pronounced over their remains that
they were thought certainly 10 be dead and
had been buried so deep that they could never
be resurrected. What must have been their
establishment, then, to see these phantoms re-
visiting earth and playing the mischief gene
rally in Ohio, Virginia, New York. Wiscon-
SIM Michigan, and even in old Maryland, a
few days ago. These poor old corpuses that
had been buried so often were at the polls
again in this State reinforced by more than
Five Thousand others, that if they did not
come from the restiug-pace to which they had
not SO much as shed one piteous tear for their
departure, had been laying low and keeping
dark and on that fatal Tuesday, November
the 4th, made their appearance, to tie con
sternation of the Radical brotherhood. Why,
in sold Medley's' it was sort of Bull Run
affair, and the RAIDS We're routed 'horse, foot
and dragoon" 1t seems to us that there has
been too much done recently, TO believe that
a dead party did tive can t see it in that
light. Now let the RAIDS preach their own
funeral-they are as ''dead as mackerel' in
Maryland, and soon will be everywhere. 1t
sowed the seeds of own mortality.

INDIANA's MIsoEGEHATIoN LAW TO BE TESTED.
"A suit is to be brought in Indiana TO test
the question whether the statute forbiddng
persons with visible mixture Of negro blood
to marry white is or is not in conflict with
the civil rights law and recent constitutional
amendments. The suit is in behalf of Edward
Brown, of indianapolis, convicted last spring
of marrying a white woman, and sentenced TO
five years in the peritentiary. The result will
be looked for with interest, as there are sever
al other States in which similar law exists,
and some in which it is enforced.
