One year ago, the thanks of the ladies of Har.
ford county were gratefully rendered to the
Grand Jury in acknowledgement of the noble
stand taken by them in the suppression ofthC
sale of ardent spirits.
Again the ladies testify their appreciation at
the decision of the last Grand Jury, who, under
heavy pressure on every side, SO faithfully dis
charged their duty to their constituents, as they
have again consigned the offending glass to au-
other years probation.
These men have fought and gained great
moral battle; one hard to be sustained, when
we remember the immense political force of the
liquor dealers, and their power over the men
they put in office; the vitiated taste of q COM
munity, inherltng rs an heirloom from its an
cestry the so-caled hopitaltyofthes social glass,
and the indifference of those who, while they pro.
TESS to hold doctrine for the benefit of,mankind
still wink at the eXhilarating cup, us one of the
necessities of poor, weak, human nature, But
our brave Grand Jury have taken the dilemma
by the horns, and alter maturely considering
the question in every phase, concluded that the
prohibitory law could not be improved upon.
To grant licenses to a few at enormous rates
would have been discrimination in favor of
the rich against the poor, so they have kindly
come to the protection of both parties; for in
temperance knows ne class, and Is equally at
home with patrician and plebeian.
In conclusion-the criminal record of our
county shows great falling off; this eouyinees
us that liquor has heretofore been at the bottom
of the most OF our offences, and that much has
been done by this law, even mperfectly as it
has been enforced.
We can all see q great Improvement In our
own neighborhoods, which Is great relief to
those who feel the degradation of mankind, and
would fan lift them higher, rs well as to the fami-
lies ofinebriates, who suffer unknown tortures in
mind, body and estate while the world looks
coldly on and leaves them to their fate.
In conclusion, we venture to give the thanks
of the entire community to the heroes of the
late Grand Jury, and may their successors of
body. G.Z.F,

To CORRESPONDENTS
The BabcOck Case.

The trial of Gen. Babcock, President Grants
Private Secretary, for conspiring with the
whisky ring of st. Louis TO dcfraud the gov
eminent, was concluded last Thursday, by
the jury bringing in a.yerdict of not guilty.
Through the astuteness of his lawyers and
the rulings of the judge, the most damaging
evidence against Babcock was suppressed,
and the jury, from legal point of view per-
haps could not do otherwise than acquit him.
The result, it is stated, caused the greatest
Joy at the White House and among Bah
cocks friends generally. Grave and rever-
end Republican senators congratulated each
other upon the result, and Boss Shepherd
fastened to telegraph to Babcock his pro-
found thankfulness that virtue had triumphed
over its enemies. The congratulations among
the Republican leaders was probably not so
much because Babcock bad escaped the peni-
Tertiary, but because the Republican party
had been saved from great danger His
conviction would have had damaging ef-
feet upon coming elections, and would have
cast grave suspicion upon the President
himself of guilty knowledge of the conspira-
cy: The public, notwithstanding the result
at st. Louis are not yet satisfied of Babcock's
innocence, and the popular verdict is mot
proven" There is prospect, too, that the
House will call for all correspondence and
papers relating to the trial, so that it is by no
means certain that the matter is finished 1t
was reported that President Grant, although
satisfied of Gen. Babcock's innocence, thinks
nevertheless, that he acted imprudentlv in
carrying on secret correspondence with
Joyce, Mcdonald and Mckee, the convicted
members of the whisky ring, and therefore
1t would be better for all concerned that lie
should give up his position at the White
House. On the other hand it is said that
Babcock will not resign, but will be taken
back into the confidence of the President,
and will doubtless be afforded abundant op-
portunity to reimburse himself for his out
lay OF money in the recent trial.
The rumors, current during the trial, that
Secretary Bristow would be requested by the
President to step down and out, for his fear
lessncss in protecting the revenue, without
regard even to persons in high places, have
subsidized, and it is now asserted that Presi.
dent Grant will not undertake to dsplace
him. In the meantime Mr. Bristow has the
support and encouragement of all honest
men, and has stepped far towards the front
among the Republican candidates for the
Presidency. Let him go on in his good
work of protecting the revenue and punish
ing thieves. In that Democrats will unite
with honest Republicans in bidding him
God specd.

The Grand Jury, as required by law, re.
specially report to your Honor that VIC have
found an unusually small number of crimcs
of magnitude to investigate, violations of the
license law and petty thefs comprising the
greater number of crimes to which our al.
tention has been called.
After having had one years experience of
the operation Of the law making recon-.
mendation from this body prerequisite for
obtaining license to sell intoxicating drinks,
the Grand Jury has, by unanimous vote, decli.
ned to recommend any one as fit person
to have such license, believing the sale of
liquors to be an unmtigated evil, and the
Grand Jury has instructed its foreman, by
unanimous vote, to send to the Senator for
Hartford county and to each delegate in the
Legislature its solemn protest against any
change being made in the law giving the
Grand Jury the power that it now has to con.
troll absolutely the sale of Intoxicating Ii.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

more immediate province for gentlemen be-
longing TO the learned profession to testify to

it be, OF those representing on this floor the

add their tribute to his venerated memory,
which they now do by cordially and entirely

Just addressed the Senate, and who have
therein depicted in such fervent language his
Worldwide acknowledged reputation as the
sagacious, yet honorable diplomatist, the as

deeply respected by all who had the good
fortune to enjoy the privilege of intimate as

TIE GRAND JURY.-Thc grand jury ad-
journed on Friday last, after session of
eleven days. According to their report they
found 6n unusually small number of crimes
of magnitude TO investigate, violations of
the license law and petty thcfts" comprising
the greater number of crimes to which their
attention was called A. number of appica-
tons were before them for recommendation
for license to sell liquor, but they say that
after having had one years experience of the
operation of the law, they unanimously de-
cline to recommend any one as n fit person
to have such license, "bclicving the sale of
liquors TO be an unmitigated evil" They
also instructed their foreman to send TO the
Legislature their Solemn protest against
any change being made in the law giving the
grand jury the power it now has to contro!
absolutely the sale ofintoXicating liquors"
1t is reported that the jury were at first
divided on the question. A number were
in favor Of restricting the sale of liquor to
orderly-kept hotels alone, others were ia
favor of licensing stores and other places MS
well as hotels, while the remainder were
strcnuously opposed to granting licenses to
sell liquor to any one.
Those who opposed discrimination in favor
of hotels, it is said, united with the anti.
license members, and thus secured majority
against license. The Grand Jury presented
sixteen persons for selling liquor without j.
ccnsc, the indictments against them number.
ing sixty two. The total number of indict-
mcnis against one person was sixteen.

The committee appointed by the Demo-
cratic mass meeting at the Maryland Insti-
tute, Baltimore, December IA, 1875, to draft
a new law providing for radical changes in
the mode ofregisterng voters, so as 10 pre-
clude the possibility of frauds, have perfor.
med their work and the new law will be sub
mitled fr legislative action The law has
hccn framed with the utmost care, so that
under its provisions election frauds will he
well nigh impossible. To prevent ballot box
stuffng the new law provides that every bal.
lot shall he marked when received and before
being deposited in the ballot-box In Penn.
sylvania each ballot is numbered as received
ana the number marked on the registry oA-
poslte to the name of the voter, who may, if
he like, write his name on his ballot. Mis-
takes in the numbering would he very apt to
occur, causing confusion and perhaps the re-
lection from the count of legal votes. The
Endorsement of the name is open to many OBJ
| Jections the time consumed and the delay
seeming sufficient reasons for rejecting that
mode of marking the ballots The stamp
suggested, which can he used in an in
slant Of time and which is now used in all
railroad offices TO mark the date of sale on
their tickets, seems convenient and cfTectual
1t will exclude all tickets folded within the

not received from voters all ofthe judges and
clerks must combine in the fraud
The new law porvides for an entirely new
registration of the voters of the Slate-some
thing very much needed all over the State
The memorial to the Legislature is signed
by E. Wyatt Blanchard, VIM. G. Harrison
Robert I. Baldwin, VIM. A. Fisher and
James l.. McLure of Baltimore city; Daniel
Clarke, of Prince Georges county, and IT.
Kyd Douglas, of Washington county, who
with Hon. Henry D. Farnands, of this coun.
ty, composed the committee appointed at the
Democratic mass meeting of Dec. ii, 1870.
The bills prepared by this committee, saws
the San, cvince much pains-taking and con.
scientious labor and care in their prepare
ton, and illustrate the difference between
talking reform and aeOrktng for the same
object. To criticise-to decry-to denounce
is always easy and we cannot accuse our
reform" friends of having failed to do their
whole duty in these particulars. But they
have as yet failed to bring forward one we'll
considered, carefully matured measure for
the redress ola single grievance. This, the
only practical and really valuable part of the
work which they set out to accomplish, and
which they were elected TO do, they seem to
have been content TO leave to those upon
whose incapacily OF unwilingncss to under
take the work of reform they largely based
their own claims 10 popular confidence and
support.
