GENTLEMEN:
Summoned from yolr several homes
by the command of the law, you are here
to aid the court in the due administra p
ton OF tie several laws enacted by our
Legislature for the punishment OF crime,
and the ample protection of the persons
and property o. our people. Every

be protected; every mans person Is the
creation of Omniootrncc, therefore, Let.
it be secure: every mans property l5 tie

be preserved to hin by the strong arm
of the law.
Who hath ena tied the law for this
purposel The legislative Assembly OF
the Territory, aId it is the duty Of
courts and Jurors to take the law and en-
force 1t.
The foundation of all criminal prose
cutions in this couIt is the Indictment,
which can only be found by grand
jury. Our argument then leads w to
the conclusion that in the first instance
the Grand Jury is resp0ncible tor the
due enforcement OF our criminal code /;
wherefore, gentlemen, it is necessary
that you earnestly and impnrtially aim
to do your whole duty.
Your manner proceeding is pointed
ont by Statute Chapter IA Of the
criminal code. The matters wh5eof

Co ny, Nov, Term, 1877.
The Grand Jury for the November
Term OF 1877 would respectfully submit
the following report Of their proceedings:
That we have examined the criminal
matters that have come TO our knowl-
edge; also the County Records
we find that the Board of County
Commissioners, by general order at
their May meeting fixed the uniform re-
tail liquor license at $4,000 each. No
evidence is given in each case that little
business is doing. The grocery license
is fixed ut 5000 per year in pace of
$4,000 as required by law. The Coun-
ty Auditor does not keep perfect fee.

Supplemental Charge.

Gentleman OF the Grand Jury:
As have cndeayored to impress upon
your minds the legal fact, that the Grand
Jury, is responsible in the first instance
for the due enforcement Of the criminal
law. 1t is perhaps matter of justice
that put you in u position to make this
fnct practical one. We have seen that
you are limited in your inquiries as to
certain matters to wit.
/. Complaints sent here 10y Justice
of the Peace.
.. Complaints submitted by the Dist
Atty.
3. Mates submitted to you by the Court.
Touching the first two cases, there is
always party TO complain if "A crime be
committed against the person or proper
ty of nm individual, the party injured
does not hesitate to make complaint and
cause the guilty party to be prosecuted.
But there be many crimes that will 90
anpunis,lcd unless the Grand Jury look
after them under the direction OF the
Court.
Grimes OF this character are these of
fenscs by public officers in the misappli-
cation and emjczAlement Of public funds,
here the crime being against the public
no individual will complain, hence the
Court usually submits the cause to your
inquiry. Oiicnscs against public policy.

There has been q remarkable de-
cline of imports to the United States.
The report of the Bureau Of Stats
tics for the month and the twelve
months ending December 81, in COM
parison with similar reports for pre-
ceding years, shows that there has
been a considerable decline in guam
titles imported, though by no means
so large as in values Of imported
goods. The great fall of prices,in
other countries as well as here, makes
a difference Of nearly 80 per cent in
value Of imports, quantities being
the same, and the decrease in declar-
ed value of foreign imports is dye
much more to this cause than to the
diminution in the quantity Of goods
exchanged. The continuous decline
for the last three years indicates q
change in the industrial relation of
this to other countries, at least in
respect to manufactured articles,
which is not likely to be reversed.
Decreased consumption of foreign
wines, spirits and cigars may be at.
tributed rather to the economical
temper of the people. The change
in the importation of cotton goods
both bleached and unbleached anG
prints, and in carpets, has been es
pecially great. 1t is much to thu
credit flour industry that such rapi(
progress has been made in occupa
ton of the home market in so many
important branches, and it show
that domestic manufactures ar,
quickly adapting themselves, in cos
of production, to the needs of tn
time. 4

If Mr.. Packard carried the State
of Louisiana, as he says, he did, and
by more than 1900 more votes than
Hayes got, then he was elected Gov
ernor of that State, if Hayes carried
the State. In other words, if Hayes
carried the State, Packard carried it
still more. It is the duty then of Mr..
Hayes to see that Packard is Cover
nor. But according to report Hayes
w~ithdraws the troops knowing that
Packard cannot stand. What does
such policy mean? 1t means either
one of two things, that Hayes refus-
es to do his sworn duty in maintain.
ing a Republican form of government
there, or he knows that Packard is
not entitled to the Governorship Of
Louisiana. In the one case Hayes
purjures himself in refusing to per
form a well known duty of maintain
ing the laws, in the other he acknow
lodges himself a usurper. That il
the dilemma that Mr.. Hayes place
himself in. 1t is deplorable.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-04-12

There is doubtless much truth in
the declaration adopted by the direc-
tors of the st. Louis Merchants Elk
change that the delay in settling the
political troubles in Louisiana is not
only detrimental to every material in
terestin that State, but disastrous to
the trade and industry of the whole
Mississippi valley. Mr.. Hayes can
not do better than to take the advice
of the st. Louis merchants, which
will be unhesitatingly backed by the
business men of the whole west, and
withdraw the troops from the vicin.

Gov. Brown, of Tennessee, in an
interview, states that he only accept
ed a position on the Commission to
Louisiana after frequent solicitation
and frequent urgent advice of lead
ing Democrats in Washington and
New Orleans. He hoped the Com
mission may be able to forward the
Presidents policy of pacifcation,
but can see nc possible plan for do
ing so now. He thinks the way may
be found clear when the Commission
reaches Louisiana and takes in the
situation. He will partly cooperate
in doing what the President desires
in the interest of establishing the
rightful government.

AN OLD REPUBLICAN SPEAKS.

WENDELL PHILLIPS thus speaks of
the Fraudulent President, his Cabi-
net and his policy, in a late speech
in Philadelphia:
"What the South needs to-day is
the element which Charlemagne,
William the Conqueror, and Crom-
well contributed to their times-the
heavy hand and fearless grasp which
holds disorderly and struggling fore
es quiet, until peace tempts and wins
to action the elements which mould
our modern civilization, capital, la,
Dor, commerce, education, hope, and
equality before the law. Half Of
what Grant gained for us at Apo
mottox Hayes surrendered in Wash
ington on the 9Th of March.
We need only the inaugural and
Cabinet of Hayes from which to fore.
cast his future. The Cabinet ofLin'
coin was one made of TRIMMERs
Except Stanton and Cameron, every
member believed in whiting down
Justice to suit customers. Grants
Cabinet was one of MEDIocRITIEs
He seems to have shrunk from coun,
selling with frst-rate men. Hayes
Cabinet reminds one of a story o
Turner, the English painter. He hac
hung up at the exhibition a painting
subdued in color. As he studied il
on the wall the canvass seemed tt
fade out of sight in the presence o
its bright rivals. After gazing a
while Turner flung a drop of brigh'
red on the centre of his piece, and thu
picture glowed into startling effect
So l can see Hayes gathering hi
Cabinet. There is Sherman, whit
will leave a name linked to no meas
ure or idea-his only record that h
entered Congress poor and leaves i
rich. Evarts reminds one of the Pro
testant riots in London, when mel
chalked on their closed shutters an,
Popery" to conciliate the mob. On,
timid citizen, anxious to stand wei
with both sides. chalked up "No Re
ligion." Amid this death grappl
between Caste and the Declaration
of Independence, Evarts writes OIL

Twenty-three States have Demo

Twenty-three States have Demo
cratic Governors. There is a Demo
cratic majority in the House. The
Senate is nearly equally divided, and
in two years will be controlled by
the Democrats. There is a white
majority of more than a million
Democrats in the United States, and
an absolute majority of a quarter of
a million. A Republican who was
not elected President, holds the office
through fraud. A hundred thousand
Republicans hold the minor Federal
offices through the same fraud. This
is the political situation in a nutshell
and it is well to remember the leading
facts.

In 1872 the Democrats and Liber-
ais carried Georgia, Kentucky, Ma

there was no dispute-and Florida
and Louisiana, with II electoral votes
that have been fraudulently taken
from the Democrats by Returning
Boards and the Republican majority
on the. Electoral Count Commission.
In 1864 the Republicans had a
majority of 407,3 42 on the Presiden-
tial vote.
In 1868 the Republicans had a
majority Of 3O5,45S on the Presiden-
tial vote.
In 1876, Tilden's majority over
Hayes, counting for Hayes the vote
given him in Florida, Louisiana and
South Carolina by the Republican
Returning Boards, was $50, $40, and
his majority over Hayes, Cooper, and
Smith and all others, was 157 1894.
This shows a gratifying growth in
Democratic strength growth that
in the e future will give to the
Democrats ascendency in the Federal
government. With a majority of Q
quarter of a million in the popular
vote, and with a majority in the
Electoral vote, Gov. Tilden is never.
theless cheated out of the Presidency.

ALBERT LEoNARD DID q.

Why does Hayes send a Commits
sion to Louisiana, when he knows all
about the true inwardness of affairs
in that State? In the course of a
talk with a delegation which visited
the White House to congratulate
him, or to recommend somebody
for office, or to give him advice in
regard to his Southern policy, Mr..
Hayes, as reported in the newspaper
of his friend and patron, Mr.. Jay
Gould, mentioned the fact that the
recent national Republican success
in Louisiana was due to the bold
and dignifed stand of Albert Leon
ard of that State" The sagacity
which has discovered Albert Leon
ard and apprehended the value of his
hold and dignified stand, needs the
help of no Commission.
1t had been generally understood
that j. Madison Wells Contributed
to the "recent national Republican
success in Louisiana" and that hon
est John Sherman and Eliza Pinks
ton and the blackmail money out of
the pockets of eighty thousand Of
fice-holders had something to do
with the result. Mr. Hayes, it ap-
pears, has in some unexplained man
ner asc~ertained that this belief is
unfounded, and we have his assur-
ance that the Democratic majority
OF nine thousand was overcome bv
the bold and digniied stand of Al
bert Leonard.
The Investigations of a Commits
sion composed of four Republicans
and the Vice President and the
Washington agent of Tom Scott s
Southern Pacific job, cannot add
much to VIM. A. Wheeler's estimate
of the character of the Returning
Board. Even the facile pen of Jos.
eph Hawley could hardly express
the fact that 'no party in the United
States would like to submit to the
result decided by the votes of cleo
tors chosen by such means" VIII,
; bother at all with the doings O
| Wells and Anderson and the two ne
, groes, when the discovery of Alber
Leonard and his bold and digniiet
Z stand puts IN entirely new face Oh
the matter?
1 Perhaps the Democratic part,
would be willing to accept the result
declared by Hayes to be due to Al
bert Leonard, if the Democratic pa,
e ty knew who Albert Leonard is, an,
on what occasion he made his boil
and digniied stand; and perhaps tn
Republican party would consent t
u the abandonment of Packard, if A
bert Leonard would explain that h
g made his bold and dignifed stan
for Hayes only, and without refer
ence to the State ticket.-N. /

coMM1ss1oNERs REPORT.

If our County Auditor had been
disposed to do the fair thing in re-
gard to the Commissioners Report,
it could have appeared in both pa

customary to divide such public mat
tiers in order to accommodate both
papers, but in this case the whole

Register and not sent to us until on
Monday. 1t was a very assinine and
