CHARGE TO the GRAND JURY.

charge to the Grand Jury, at the re.
cent term OF court at this place:
GENTLEMEN:--It is pleasant task
to welcome you to the duties Of the
Grand Jury-.pleasant because, while
the duties are important and honor.
able, the ability to know and to per-
form them well is free.
To know what is true aud to do
what is right is the SUM Of any mans
duty in any station. Intelligence
and power for this comes from Him,
from whom the man comes. The
oath ,ha, you have been required to
take shows, that our people see Gt by
their law 10 recognize this, and ex'
pect you to recognize it. Your own
solemn avowal of that oath, as your
collective ard individual oath Of Of
fee, is an avowal on your part, that
as a practical matter, in the sphere Of
your present action, you also recog
nize it.
1t is for Us to determine whether
this court shall present to the people
q spectacle, not of jarring and con-
Aicting aims and efforts, but Of uni
ted and successful en- lesvor to do
well all hat is laid upon US to be
done. The secret OF liberty aud the
secret of unity and the secret of
prosperity are all one and the same
secret. 1t is told in two words,
namely, DO RIGHT. And the secret
OF doing right is the help e God.
Gentlemen, we cannot poss:biy-and
your oath recognizes the fact-do
our official work as it ought to be
done, if We 60 about it in the low
atmosphere OF partiality, prejudice,
interest and ignorance in which men
ordinarily move. We need to be
raised to higher and purer regions
and supported there. Thence our
vision will be extended and un-
dimmed, and we can utter and do
what we know to be good for the
people. To gain that standpoint,
we are, in and for ourselves, utterly
incompetent. But God is compe.
tent to set and keep US there. Let
us seek and approach the Source of
light, though it burn us, for it aud it
alone can translate US. AS the sun
takes waters Of the surface, snd only
the surface of the waters, Of the
earth, purifying them in the very act
ot taking, and sets them aloft, no
longer creeping but soaring things
gifted with new visibility, trans.
figured into marvellous displays of
form and color, pent by no bank nor
shore nor bed, but with every direc-
tion highway and every rate of mo
tion free, holding in their bosom a
Voioe that ia thunder and an ,execu-
tion that is lightning, unified with
the OmnipO,ent so that to speak is
to do, just SO God helping US is
mighty to lifs our heaus and con.
sciences into delightful, exalted, lu.
minous and free ranges OF masterful
and bene6oent activity. But it is

Bills Of indictment will be pre-
pared for you by the prosecuting at

true, you will endorse ga true bill;"
whatever one you do not so find, you
will endorse "not true bill" These
endorsements, as well. as all other
presentments by the grand jury to
the court, will bo signed by your
foreman, and be presented to the
court by him in your presence.

You are not bound to hear evi.

general you ought not to do it; bus
it is your duty to weigh all tne evil
dence submitted to you, and when
you have reason to believe that other
evidence within your reach will ex-
plain away the charge, you should
order that evidence to be produced
and for that purpose may cause pro.
cess to issue for the witnesses.
The evidence, on which you find
an indictment true, must not be
hearsay, bot in all respects good le-
gal evidence, and must be enough
to convince you, beyond q reason
able doubt, that the accusation in it
is true. 49,. 0..,
In conclusion, gentlemen, let me
exhort you, in The spirit of your
oath: Be diligent in your inquiries:
make presentment Of all matters
and things that shall come to your
knowledge according to your charge;
keep secret the counsel Of the gov
ernment, yourselves and your fell
lows; present nothing through hatred
or malice; leave nothing unpresented
through fear, favor, affection or re-
ward or the hope thereof; and pre-.
sent all things truly as they come to
your knowledge, according to the
best OF your understanding, and ac-
co.dlng to the laws OF this Territory
and of the United States, with the
help Of God.

Of the United States to make special
inquisition of all cases Of cutting

Of selling liquor to Indians contrary
to law. As territorial jurors I charge
you to specially inquire Of all viola.

do not empower you to extend your
investigations outside of what may
be given you in charge by the court,
what is lawfully laid before you by
the government counsel, what may
be disclosed by one or more Of your
own number, and what may be re-

your inquiries. The statutes of the
Territory, however, provide In Secs.
III and 172 Of the Criminal Code
and in Sec. 10 of the Fee and Cost
Act Of 1869, for a certain range of
inquiries. In compliance with the
requirement OF SEQ. 10 of the latter

been called to Sec. 31l of the Grim.
inal code, which illustrates by the
cases of school superintendents,
school directors, road supervisors,
eonstables and sheriffs, the just views
our people entertain regarding the
duty of those in public trust to dis.
close crime. Gentlemen, you .Es in
= position of high public trust, and
it is the inevitable duty Of each
to open to your fellows what offences
may lie unprosecuted and within
your knowledge.
Nv. 1t may happen that in the
course of your Investigations one
crime may be charged and another
proved; or witness may be detect
ed committing perjury before you;
or an attempt may be made anlaw.
fully to influence, impede or intimi.
date you in your discharge of duty.
In all such cases, and in all cases Of
territorial crimes discovered by you
in the course of your inquiries into
the management of those public
concerns which are laid open by
statute for your inquisition, you
should find an indictment wherever
you find crime and a criminal.
Unwarrantsd interrheddling with
your business by outsiders, and at
tempts by volunteers to intrude com
plants before You, are high con-
tempts, and should be reported by
you 70 the court. It indicates not
public spirit, but cowardice and
petty spite, to desire to prefer se-
cretly a complaint before body of
men sworn to secrecy. Why not 60

page ISL, appears the following doxology
r. the Virgin: 80 Mother of Jesus our
Lord the love of all men and of God to
thee be honor and blessing with the
Father and with the Holy Spirit. Amen"
If any man can read these and hun
dreds of other passages in these works
without amazement and sorrow, it is only
because his mind has become so blinded
bv superstition, that he does not realize
the enormity of the guilt incurred in
rendering to a creature that worship
which is due to God alone. 1t is vain to
talk of distinctions between d1t1a, and
latrta and hyperduha. No higher ado
ration is possible than that which is ex-
pressed in the prayers quoted above. So
long as the Church of Rome continues to
hold and teach these doctrines, so long
must she be regarded as holding and
teaching idolatry, and the only proper
attitude towards her is that of solemn,
sorrowful, but indignant protest. To
take part in her religious services is to
participate in the idolatry of the Virgin
Mary Let Protestants who propose to
attend Roman Catholic services, remem-
Der that in so doing they publicly en-
dorse this idolatry. They acknowledge
and worship in outward form at least
Mary as the Mother of God, " the Queen
of heaven" the Refuge of sinners" their
"only hope, their Great advocate" the
source of salvation" the "joy of para
disc, the "gate of heaven" the "glory of
God, etc.
do not see how those who join in such
idolatrous worship of the Virgin now can
be less guilty in the sight Of God than
those who entered the heather temples
and joined in their idolatrous worship in
the days of Paul. With the same indig-
nation may we not exclaim, What agree
ment hath the temple of God with idols?
Wherefore come out from among them,
and be we separate"
