The Washington Post saws f

THE Washington Post says tina,
as soon as Carter Harrison got
warm in bis seat as mayor OF
Chicago, he appointed a colored
man to a position. And yet his
election was said to be an endorse
ment of "the Confederacy." The
republican sometimes votes for a
negro, but that always happens
when there is n0 possibility of
electing him.

HANCOCK CIRCUIT COURT.

Circuit court commenced worl
on the 9th instant, and has beef
busily engaged for the first week il
the trial of civil cases. A new
vlgOr and vim are now exhibited il
the trial of causes; indeed, a new
era has come in the mode of hand
ling and trying cases in our coast
counties, as will further appear in
Harrison and Jackson counties
when their courts come on. The
old style must give way to the new.
The criminal docket was taken
up Tuesday of the second week
Charles Williams, colored, was tried
for killing onother colored man,
under the charge of slaughter,
and the jury rendered a verdict OF
guilty as charnged i'll the indict,
ment.
Not many criminal cases will be
tried at this term. There are many
new indictments, but they will be
continued to next term.
The grand jury have created
panic and consideration in u wide
circle of officials and candidates
for Office, by their Investigations,
report, and some indictments.
There is IA rattling among the dry
bones, such as has not been heard
for many days. The ring is broken
as badly as was the body of
poor "Humpty Dumpty," in the
childrens' story book. The grand
jury we've discharged on Saturday
evening of the first week, and they
made the following report:
TO the Hon. James S. Hamm, judge, etc
The grand jurors having now
concluded their Investigations for
the term, respectfully submit the
following report: That they have
examined the transcripts and dock
cts of the several justices of the
peace of the county, and find that
all the fines collected by them
have been accounted for; thatthey
have examined the county Jail, and
find the same secure and we'll kept
the sheriff and %jailer; that they
have made careful investigation of
violations of the criminal law
occurring in said county, and made
presentments in all cases where
such action was required by evil
lence obtained by them. They
have failed to find bills in cer.
tain cases already reported to
the court on accout of a failure to
obtain sufficient evidence to prove
,he several offences charged against
said defendants. That they have
mad complaints preferred in refer.
,nce to the finances of the county,
Iut after examining several wit.
iesses they have been unable to
make any presentments. They are
the opinion that there is a
necessity for a thorough investiga.
ion of the county finances, and
he receipts and Disbursements of
public moneys, and respectfully
that your Honor give the
next grand jury a special charge
this subject; that they have
,een embarrassed at the very out
yet OF their investigations in this
by the failure of the late
Jerk TO perform his duties as coun-
y auditor, and have abandoned the
nvestigatiOn on account of wautlof
to complete it, and the necessi.

The Democrat tries to shirk the response
bility of fshway over the Kennebec dam
upon the republican city government. Now
we happen to know something about that mat
ter. When the great ice freshet swept away
the kennebec dam, the Sprague company
were importuned to build fishway in its re-
construction. They thought that such
structure would greatly jeopardize the safety
Of the dam, and they appealed to Augusta in
its municipal capacity to relieve them from
that responsibility. Not to rebuild dam
would be fraught with dntold disaster to the
business interests of the town petition
was circulated and numerously signed, asking
that the city assume the responsibility Men,
without regard to political affiiation, were
only too eager to sign it. We distinctly re-
member that the petition was presented to the
city government by Hon. J. W. Bradbury,
with his usual eloquence and power, and the
prayer was granted unanimously. Is Mr..
Bradbury a republican? Were not half the
names on the petition democrats? Was any
political question involved any way? The
Democrat must be har' pressed for political
capital to bring fo' ard this matter as a rea-
son why the republicans shouldn't carry the
city the present spring.
