THE SHELBY COUNTY CouRT.

The Gland Jury of Shelby have made a
lengthy report to the Judge of the Criminal
Court, in which they take occasion to pay
their respects to the County Court of that
county. We make the following extracts,
as there are doubtless other counties in the
State TO which the structures of the Grand
Jury of Shelby will properly apply:
awe question the propriety of electing
members Of their own body to all the Off
ces filed by the court. 1t seems impossi-
BILE for any outside citizen, le5 him be ever
80 competent and worthy, to get an Office
al the hands Of the court. Assessors, nota-
ries, poorh0use commissioners, coroners
and tax collectors, are selected from the
members of the court. We make no charge
against the official conduct of any officer
thus elected, but it doesn't look handsome
for the county court to ignore all other citi-
zsns, land monopolize the officers within their
own circle or ring Again, Eevery msgislr ate
is required to execute his bond for five
hundred dollars to the county, with securi-
ty. We find that in almost every instance
they have been security for each other. We
find also that the magistrates vote them
S Ives five dollars per day, and that the
chairman pays them that amount, in the
face of the statute which declares that they
shall receive but two dollars per day for
their services. 1t is with pleasure we no
tice that Esquires Winters, Wallace, Walk
er, Duncan and Hall refused to accept
more than the amount due them for
their services. - We
are little curious to know, too, why the
magistrates composing the county court
are made the preferred creditors of the
county? We learn that they always get
their pay in cash, the warrants paid them
for their services being denominsLed cash
warrants and as such are promptly paid
in currency, whilst judges, jurors and 9th
ers, not members of the charmed circle
are compelled to retain their warrant for
use in the liquidation of some liability to
the county, or sacrifice them al whatever
price they may happen to rate in the mar
ket."
The telegraph reports that all the magis-
trates in Shelby county, bat four (probably
five), have been indicted for taking more
pay than the law allows them, and that
they viii be rigidly prosecuted for the Of
Tense

HHAAAfu 4DN3AHOk.
The Grand JuEg of shelby county, after q
session q more Than two months duration,
made, On the I'd, aaeportto The Criminal
Court, in which they thoroughly overhaul
thea Affairs Of the county They conclude
their lengthy and searching report by sub
hitting for the careful consideration Of The
court, among other things, ga plan for the
absorption of the Indebtedness of the ecun-
ty of Shelby" The county is in some
what the same predicament as the State.
Loves money and cannot pay it. Coup
ons are past due aud unpaid. What is to
be doneP The plan proposed By the Grand
Jury, among whom we recognize some Of
the first gentlemen of the county, in their
own language, is; ~ > - - =. &&-s-
"We propose that al Of the due debt of
the county shall be funded IN bonds to be
issued by the county, maturing at such
lime as the reveSles OF the county can be
made available to pay them, bearing such
rate Of interest from date, until paid, as
may be fgreel upon. All such bonds shall
be issued from q book 81 a printed form of
bonds, which shall be 80 made that fnll
and perfect description of the bond TO be is
sued, as to number, date, amount, to whom
payable, and upon what account, shall be
retained upon the stub In said book for fu-
ture reference and exs mination.A bill
payable, or book, shall be kept, upon
which shall be entered every bond issued,
showing its date, number, and amount, to
whom payable, when due, the rate of inter-
est, and for what purpose Issued"
What will the anti-funders of Shelby say
to this ''viIlianous" proposition from their
own intelligent Grand Jury to their own
Criminal Court? Where now are those
carefully pr epared arguments" against
funding which the representatives from
Shelby were ''cut off and deprived from
making" in the Legislature? Let them
snake the welkin ring" Let them snake
Rome howl" Let them thunder. Let
them ''cry Hdroc, and let slip the dogs of
war" Let them unlimber and fire away.
Let thsm--weIl, Let 'em go it while they're

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

The Trenton Gazette, in speaking of the
appointment of Col. Fleming as Superin-
tendent of Public instruction, says: "The
appointment is good one and we are graf
flied at this recognition of the press" 1t
further says:
"Senstor Coulter was an applicant and
we would have been pleased st his sue
cess"
In the latter we presume the Gazette is
mistaken, as Senator Coulter was ineligible.
The Constitution, Article Il, Section 10,
says:
"No Senator or Representative shall,
during the time FOR lChich he 1Cds cleo ted,
be eligible 10 any Office or place, the ap-
pointment to which is vested 10 the Execu-
tive or the General Assembly, except 10 the
office of trustee of literary institution"
We are informed also that the Dresden
paper, with which we have not the pleasure
of an exchange, has also spoken in warm
terms in favor Of the appointment of Sena-
tor Coulter. We are inclined to think that
this information about our Dresden con-
temporary is incorrect, as so able an ex-
FOUNDER of the Constitution could not be
ignorant of nor mistaken about so plain a
provision of organic law.

GEOLOGICAL SuRVEY-

One Of the latest acts Of the forty-second
Congress was the appropriation of SIS 900
to continue and reorganize the United
States geological survey of the territories
under the control of the Department of
the Interior. The expedition proposes to
map out the topography and geology of the
Rocky Mountain region and the country
west of it; TO investigate their resources,
and to distribute the knowledge obtained.
by means of maps, photographs and Illus
trated reports. This year the work will be
in Colorado. The scientific corps of the
chief expedition comprises about twenty
men, consisting of the chief geologist and
his staff, the chief geographer and staff, and
the natural history department. The chief
geologist, who is also the chief of the sur
vey, is DR.. F. V. Hayden, who has been
exploring the country embraced in the sur
vey for about 20 years, sometimes partly
aided by the Government, and, during some
periods, solely by Government sppropris-
tons.
A few thousand dollars expended in re-
searches of this kind are likely to be useful
to the country. The spirit of Improvement
is felt in almost every part, and the Govern
ment is more or less in sympathy with the
prevalent ideas. II Improvement in the Mis-
sissippi levees is likely 10 occupy prOmin-
ent place in the public favor of the South
west.
