Packed Jur1eS.

It has been matter Of surprise 70 many
persops tuara grand jury could have oee'
found in Judge RIvEs's district to ind'c'
county Judges OF this State for doing no.
thing more than their duty. Nobody, how
ever, will be surprised to read the Lynch
burg virginian's explanation of the mat
ter-as follows:
awe are informed BY one who knows,
that the vote Of the grand jury in JUDGE
Riycs's court, indicting the county Judges,
was strictly partisan, being twelve to elsht
in every case. When Judge and jury are
partisan after this fashion the cause OF JUS
lice is not likely to prosper in oil cases..
We call the attention Of the House OF Rep
resentatives at Washington to this matter
A new civiI-rights bill will have to be
passed making it crime to summon jurors
on accoup, OF race. color, or previous con-
dition Of servitude, or their party relations

A telegram was received here this morn

Mr.. J. G. Bell arrested him and put him in
charge Of our agent, Mr.. II. S. Martin, to
guard While Ire was hunting man to
identify him the darkv broke and ran.
Our agent shot at him three times with
small revolver, but he was too fleet
fooled and got away. Then Dir. II.
NJ. Commines started after him with
double-barreIIed gun, and Il. Leach made
one shot, and after search OF three hours
he found him, and the darby started OUT on
run, and would not stop. so Mr.. Com
mings fired both barrels ut bin Qoaded with
d-shot). He then surrendered, and Nj.
Commings found he bad put seven shot irto
one Icg, one in his foot, and one in his inv.
Commings then brought him TO the depot,
and he was recognized rs the party men
toned. The darby is not dangerously
wounded. He walks very well considering
the lead he has in him. The train is now

1t will thus be seen that the proposition
OF adjustment so generously presented by
the creditors Of the State has been accepted
by an overwhelming majority Of both

question. The vote in the Senate stood 30

perly the views OF their constituents.

The Public Debt.

The House (by &c to 50) have passed the

retard its passage in that body. The Gov

have readiusted the public debt in the Ian.

terms satisfactory and honorable TO the State
and her creditors. This ought to satisfy sim
ccre, honest reGdiusters, and it should salts
~ the debt-payers per Sc, because it satisfies
the creditors. 1t will satisfy the people who
really want quiet, who desire that their lands
shall increase in actual value and become
more desirable, and the same time
have the assurance thai the rate OF taxation
will not be increased-aye, more, with
proper economy and retrenchment In

Stick.
from the Petersburg Post

AS our contemporary, the Wing, seems to
he quite we'll posted abont the old funding
bill, we would he glad il it would tell us
who was the author OF that noted bill.
The fact has never been published, to ollr
knowledge. Who dictated the bill? Who
wrote it down when dictated? Where was
it prepared, and by whom? These are very
important inquiries at this time, as those
who are desperately fighting against all rea'
Sonabte adjustment OF the debt question are
using the odious scoupon" feature OF the
funding bill as their principal weapon and
stock in trade.
We hope the Wing will not delay the in
formation desired. The public are anxious
to know, because they desire to fix the
blame where Improperly belongs, and not
permit guilty parties to make capital out OF
their own aroma.
