THAT DILArORY GRAND JURY.

Editor CNRo BCiLErN:
By the mere,t happening my attention
was arrested yesterday, by paragraph in
the Massac Journal which with your per
mission will reproduce in THE BULLETIN;
Judge IIarker recently discharged di-
Iatory Grand Jary, in Alexander county,
administering to the members censure
which elected protest. The people will
sustain Judge Harker in every attempt at
cutting down the expenses Of our courts
In no county in his circuit will Judge
lIarker's efforts in the direction of economy
be more heartily seconded than in Aleyan-
der county. Heretofore the expenses OF our
Circuit Court have been as great as all the
other expenditures OF the county combined;
and if Judge Harker can bring them down
TO tie coun,y's ability TO pay he will earn
the thanks Of every taxpayer in the county.
But Wa the Judge justified in summarily
dismissing the grand jury, with censure.
without first informing himself as 10 the
causes OF its seeming aziness and neglect
Of duty; The writer happens 10 know that
il had devoted mucl, time TO very impor-
tan, inquiry il which the moral portion OF
this community processes 10 feel deep CON
CEN, and he further knows that nothing
short Of the extended inquiry made would
satisfy the people concerned that the evil
investigated was not indictable. Further
more, the writer Of this communication also
happens 10 know that the grand Jury
would have adjourned hours before their
dismissal, and thus have escaped the I'M
merited censnre they received had their
last finding been written up. 50 that they
could have returned it into court. AZ
many as three or tour time, they sent to the
county attorney for the Indictment, and
could not 20 into cour; .Lad report their
business finished without it, Did the
court inform himself Ms to al thc>, facts I
think not. Indeed, kn W e didn't, b (
acted upon appearances, which can.
no, deny were untavorablc to
the grand jury. Having said
,his much | will conclude by
saying, that while appearance. seemed to
warrant the Judges course, the FACTS did
not ;that, if the Judge had extended inqui-
ries he would have known tina, the jury was
not idle, and he would, therefore, have
spared twenty-three citizens of the county
the imputaton under which they now rest,
81 needless!y prolonging their session Tor
| the miserable pttance of one dollar and
fifty cents day in county orders, or IL
equivalent OF 81 p in cash and finally,
had he informed himself Of the whyioros
the censure he administered would hav,
fallen, in part at least, on other shoulders.
say nothing here Of the Judges right
in law, to do what he did. II the power
he exercised is not sanctioned 10y law,
shall not undertake 10 say that It ought not
to be, for, in my opinion such power ough,
to be lodged somewhere TO prevent the
abuses the Judge seemed 10 think cNisteo
in the case in question FAH-rIAY.
