ment vas placed in the hands of Sher-

hnyo changed their minds. At any rate,
this week they informed Mr.. Brown
that he need proceed no further in the

for SO doing, but this action conveys

Tho Judge and Jury.

Severe sickness in our family pre-,
vented us from presenting in on,
last weeks issue IL full record OF
the proceedings of the Court, CT OF
noting several other items which
would have been Of interest to our
readers ut that time. A cores
pondent, however, filled much OF
our space which we GLADLY yielded
md we again in this issue devote
room to another communication
upon the same subject from n
highly intelligent source. The i'll
hgnation of the citizens ut Judg c
Mackoys course toward the Grand
Jury, seems to be universal. We
were not present III the courthouse,
and consequently did not hear the
Judges remarks, but from what we
have heard since. and his summary
dismiss!ng OF the Grand Jury before
they had submitted their report and
transacted the business Of the term,
we regard rs highly improper in a
Judge upon the Bench. The OK
animation Of the two negroes, (who
testified before ithc Grand Jury)
i'll open court by his Honor, was n
scene never before witnessed in IL
court Of justice in these parts.
And such a course by the Judge
took the Grand Jury ut a great dis
advantage, for it matters not wheth-
CT these willing witnesses testified
before ,he Grand Jury us they did
before the Judge or not, any grand
jnryman who would have opened his
mouth, yen or nay, outside of the
jury room, acouid h0rn 35erjurcI
hin.$eT.
The major portion of the grand
jury are intelligent and honest gon-
Nemen, and would not lend them
selves to corrupt influences for q: /,
favor OF affection and we believe
that they would not hesitate to do
their duty conscientiously in every
instance and under all cilcumstan-
ccs. Hence, we believe his Honor
did them great injustice and rs he
is IL very impulsive man, and occa-
sionally becomes q little irritable
from excessive work, we have rea-
son to believe that he too regretted
his hasty action. AS "Citizcn" in
timatcd in his communication last
week, it is an unfortunate affair,
and for the good of all the people
it would be better that harmony
We're restored But to bring about
this state of feel ng, tho people do
not expect, nor would they have,
the Grand Jury to mako any con-
ccssions us to their authority as
officers of the Court, or otherwise
