GRAND = UiAY REPORT.

To the Honorable County Court of Placer coun-
ty, California;:
The Grand Jurors for the January term, A.
D. 1874, would respectfully report as follows;
We have examined all the cases brought be-
fore us, and have found Bills Of Indictment in
eight Of them. One case we have dismissed,
md have also in one case dismissed the charge
rs to one OF several defendants, who were joint
ly held to answer. I ....I
We would further report having visited the
County Hospital and Jail. In the Hospital
we found the affairs pertaining to the same az
creditable to the management, its crowded
state will admit of. We found the Jail in a
seemingly crowded condition, making it almost
impossible to keep it in proper sanitary con-
iition. In relation to the Jail, we have 10 rec
ommend the following alterations: ..- 1.-'r-o
1st, thatthe cells now in use be taken down
md iron ones be substituted in their stead, be-
ing dryer and giving better ventilation. 3D..
hat the water closet be arranged differently, as
lis present arrangement is a disgrace to human
Ity and to the county. 81, that separate quar-
ters be provided for insane or demented occu-
pants. and also separate ones for witnesses de-
tanned. a" ft t'+
In all else that our attention was called to, as
to books, records, etc., of the county, all were
in al apparently good condition.
We recommend the appointment by the Board
Of Supervisors, Of an expert to examine the
books of the various county officers. to report at
the earliest opportunity. .r'H"s--.i o.
To the various co 'nty officers attending u.s.
We tender our thanks for their courtesy in fscili

The religious services at tue funeral OF hr.
Summer were exceedingly appropriate. While he
was man Of remarkably pure lifo he was not .
protesting Christian. No one ever heard from
him any claims to piety, OF Of censuro for tho
want Of it in others, or any criticisms upon the
faith OF, hiB fellow-men. For all that really
makes up the character Of IN honest just, and
conscientious man, ho WAS universally esteemed,
and yot he was free from the disgusting habit Of
exhibiting religious zeal at tinles and places
where votes are to be- had in consequence
ther cof. In the selections from the Scriptures
used at his funeral wero the words Of samucl
And now behold nm gray-hairod, and have walk
cd before you from my childhood until thu day.
Lord aud beforo Ills Anolnted; Whose OK have ta-
kon 2 or whuEe have taken or whom have de-
frauded whom have oppressed? or nf WHOSE hand

We submit tint it was greater honor to have
these words quoted and accepted aB unqueation-
ably true aud appropriate at his funeral than to
huyo passed through life designated merely as a
"Christan statesman" Mr. summer 10 walked

MUTTERINGs FROM MARYLAND.

Tho Baltimore american has been loyal 10,
these many years. When tho philadelphia Con-
veution howled its approval Of TINT sarcastic
resolution which spoke Of 'stho modest patriot
ism, the earnest purpose, tie sound Judgment,
the practical wisdom, tho incorruptiblo integri-
ty" Of U. s. Grant, the american bowed down
before tho idol and worshiped him. "sup-
press the rebellion" screamed the loyal ahoot;
and now, alas it is in rebellion itself.
1t deyotcs a leading editorial to tho difference
between tho party" aud the Republican party.
It points out that tue Republican party solemnly
pledged itsolf at Philadelphia to specie-pay-
monts, to the abolition OF frauking, and to civil
service reform by adopting these resolutions:
wo deaounco tho rcpuaiation OF the public debt III
my form disguise national crine. We witness
with prio the reduction Of the principal Of tho debt
aud rates Of interest the balance. an1 confidently
expect our exceont national currency will bo per-
footed by n speedy resumption Of Bpccle-paymcuts.
Tho franktng privilege ought to be abolis he'd, and

wlic, aal, abolish tho OWLS Of patronage, and make
honesty, efficiency and fidelity, tho essential quah-
Gallons Tor pnl,u positions, without practically crea
| thug lifo tenure Of oico.
The american thon points out tho infllclIty Of
"tho party" to these articles Of faith Of tho
Republican party. On tho first points 1t says /:
"we hayo Logan, Morton, Kelley, Cum
oron, Butler, who profoss to DO tho party
and who are entirely opposed to 'speedy re-
sumption Of specio-paymentH.' This is tile ilat~
! ter troason iuasm11ch az tho Philadelphia roso-
lutlon was but a reatArmation of various promis-
cs mud pledges made by the Republican purity.
"When 1t is also consldorod," continues tho
american, "that d majority Of both Houaes

admitted, in thls respect at least, many OF tue

senator Logau reoponed the currency debate
In the Benato yesterday. Els two weeks study,
which ia all that our Souator oyor needs to giveto
q simple matter like the financial question, has
convinced him that tho way 10 dopreciato the
currency is to dopreciato Senator Sclurz, and in
consequence there is q good deal moro about
Schurz in liB oration than. about tho currency.
His argument is that Senator Schurz wants tho
farmers and working1neu Of the West and South
to work for tic capitalists of The EaBt. Senator
8chulz thinks that any increase in their wealth
md ma nutaetures would be pernicious to their
welfare. Senator Schurz wants to substitute for
grcenb ncks bonds imposing IN annual burden
Of $50 900 on the people, for tho benefit Of
Eastern capitalists etc., etc. The West and
| South, Senator Logan thinks, "underatand this
tling." II the currency iB decreased, he snys
wagos will not purchase bread, aud strlkcs will
| become widespread. His moRt novol contrlbu-
tion to the controversy il tho Abatement that
| cause there is no money hero with which to bny
them and that ii Congress will only print moro
greenbaoks the bonds will.b sold here, ind we
can got rich by pnying interest to ourselves. BY
this plan every one can easily got to bo million
are, like Logan, If tho Government will only koer
on printing groonbacks, and tho railroads keeT
on issuing bonds I'D iutiuitum. II 8cnatol
Logan had but made'this discovery before tue
war, ho might have induced the Government to
print enough greenbackH In tho first place t.
have enabled nll the Government bonds to b'
bought in this country. He would thus haY'
saved us from paying several hundred million
Of "tributc." In conclusion. Senator Loga'
makos tho contrast between himself ind seuato
schurz complete by vow,ng that ho will stand b.
the rights of the poop no matter how much til
moneyod monopoliatH may attaok him.
