FROM IITH DIsTRICT.-W eddings-For Hunts
Tile Grand Jury System, d,c-Wessrs. Editors ::
We are having lively times in our usually quiet
Misunderstanding, young and old, surprise
parties to ministers and the newly welded, and
an occasional fox hunt for variety. Our neigh
bors who delight in this last sport, report the
number of foxes killed this winter eight. Wheth-
or the number living is greater less than at
corresponding time last year is not stated. We
have had a remarkably fine winter for outdoor
work, and farmers cannot complain at the wealth
| er, however great their complaints may be about
other matters.
am sorry to say that the Grange interest is
not bright and lively as it should be in this sec
ton. We are rather mixed race of farmers,
truckers and kind of amphibiOus biped who is
a little of both, and, withal, much addicted to
shooting ducks and other game. The consequence
is we do not pull together sufficiently to make a
Furnishing Grange-ths is much to be regretted
but there seems to be no help for it.
In a late issue of the UNION l read that "the ex-
penses to the county, consequent on the indict-
ment of the Judges, would foot up $1,000" Will
not the peoples eyes be opened to the fact that
the Grand Jury system is not only useless, but
the cause directly and indirectly of great and
unnecessary additional expense to the admins
tration of justice.
If we estimate the value of the time lost by the
absence of twenty three men from their business
and add to ii their per diem and mileage the time
lost by witnesses who are compelled to attend,
and all the etceteras, such Clerks fees, sum
mons, &C., we might well be surprised. Then fol-
lows the fact, which any Grand Juror can easily
ascertain, that only about one-third of their in
dictments are sustained in the Courts. Would it
not be much better in all respects to give us good
Magistrates, with power to decide hundreds of
trifing cases, which now burden the dOckets of
the Courts, and who could examine which
now go to the Grand Jury, and being on the spot,
with every facility to collect evidence would gen.
orally discover whether or not case should go
before the Court for trial
must say that this plan would require Justices
of the Peace quite different from many of the pres
ent incumbents, and do hope that there are hon
Orable and intelligent men, plenty of them, in
both political parties, who could come up to the
proper standard. Here is the fountain of justice
make it pure. Without good personnel to ad-
minister the law, contempt of Court will and must
| prevail May the time arrive when the at
tention of law makers will be turned toward such
reforms as the times demand, and which will be
a real benefit to the people.
Truly yours, WHIfEMARsH.
