Grand Jury's Charge.

TO The Honorable Judges Of tie Circuit Court
for Montgomery County:
We, the Grand Jury for the body of Mont
gomery county, November Term, 1880, would
respectfully represent that we have carefully
examined all persons brought before us, and
have found bills in such cases where the evil
dence was sufficient 10 do So We would re-
commend that the magistrates use more dis
erection as TO the number and class OF illnesses
they send before us, as it would greatly reduce
our work and save an unnecessary expense 10
the county.
In regard TO the lynchug OF Diggs we have
been unable TO find any evidence that would
lead to the conviction of the party or parties
connected Herewith.
The committee to the Aims House report
the house and buildings in excellent condi-
ten giving evidence of great care on the par
of Mr.. Connell that was very commendable.
The farm has yielded the present year about
240 bushels of wheat 10 bariais OF corn,

! large quantity of vegetables There are 80

Kingsbury-lhe Jailor-whom they think de-
/ serves n great deal of cerdit Their atten-
/ ton was called to several thing absolutely ne
cessary for the safety and health Of his fami-
| ly and prisoners. The fireplace in the room
he occupies is in terrible condition. The

back yard has given way, thereby rendering

that the odor arising from the sink is percep-

nuisance 10 all persons in that vicinity The
/ Commissioners have had their attention called
to the abominable sink on several previous oc-
casions suggestions and plans recommended,
/ but as yet have failed to take any notice or
action in the matter. We earnestly hope the
| Commissioners will not suffer TO have their
attention called to this again, but will give il
/ their earliest attention.
/ Upon the examination OF the Court House,
we find the records in the Clerks Office and

also find the Petit Jurors room inconvenient,
uncomfortable and filthy. We would recon-

On Monday last the single scull boat race
between Hanlan and Trickett on the river
Thames at London, was rowed, lost and
won, and Hanlan is again the victor, finish
ing the race in twenty-six minutes and
twelve seconds. Hanlan came in to the
starting point four boat lengths ahead Of his
competitor, and, had he not played with
his antagonist by laying down in his boat,
rowing with one hand, and dropping his
oars to wave his handkerchief to ladies of
his acquaintance on the shore, he would
have beaten Trickett at least by half mile.
On this side Of the Atlantic it is thought
that over IA million dollars has changed
hands. Congratulatory messages were sent
to Hanlan by the Marquis of Lorne, the
Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, the Mayor
of Toronto, and hosts of his distinguished
American friends

ton. That the quick and certain execution
of punishment upon the offender brings into
active operation that principle of law which
declares that the object of the punishment
of crime is to deter others from like per-
petration. That it relieves the victims, whose
sufferings are already too heavy to be borne,
from further disgrace and punishment, by
being dragged first before the gand jury
and thence into a court of law. That this
course on the part of the individual or the
community, furnishes that protection, safety
and relief which the very doubtful and tardy
action of the courts have failed to give
These views have been held and sustained
by the courts in almost every State, they
have obtained strength with the growth of
the country and been incorporated as part
and parcel of the common law AS further
proof of the strength of this very same po-
sition the Grand Jury at the March Term OF
our Court, as well as the one of the present
term, in the face of the Judges charge, took
but little cognizance of either case of hang
ing. These juries were composed of men
whose intelligence and whose respect for
law and morality is equal to any, and sur
passed by none in this broad land. 1t is ev-
dent that in arriving at such conclusion,
the jury intended no disrespect to Judge
Bowie, but were rather impressed with the
truth of the assertion that there are sophis-
tries with courts, as with the pulpit, the
press or upon the hastings; that after all
courts of law are but legal grist mills, grind
ing out good as well as bad law.
In our last article we distinctly stated in
taking issue with Judge Bowie, that there
was not general principle of law as laid
down by his honor but what met our en-
dorsement. But we did think that as appli-
cable to such cases, it was never anticipated
that they should have literal Interpretation.
outraged, because in both cases the guilt
of the parties was conclusive, and the just
penalty so speedily inflicted, smoothed down
the excitement and restored q sense Of secu-

We now dismiss the subject by putting a
question home to the editor of the amer
lean: Suppose upon his return from his
Office some night, he should find that the
person of some member of his family had
been violated, and that the monster was still
lurking within the walls of his house /;
would he leisurcly walk to some police
magistrate for writ for the miscreant's ar
rest, stopping on the way to see if the Amer
lean was in flames, or would he, true to a
manly sense of duty, STAY the wretch, and
then come before an honest and intelligent
jury and ask them to say by speedy YER
dict of acquital, that he had committed no
act that was in violation of the laws of God

John w. Garrett, President of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company, submit
ted to the stockholders meeting on Monday
last, the fifty-fourth report in relation to that
road. The report is interesting and volumi-
nous, giving in detail the operations of the
past fiscal year. Under the able and pre-
sent dictatorship the Company appears to be
in the most prosperous condition. From the
report we gather that the increase of reve-
nues over 1879 amount to 81, 123,75967,
whilst the earnings as compared with 1879
were $2,365, 053.97, comparative increase
in net profit of 1881, 1857 The report fur
ther states that there has been a large in
crease in the tonnage east and west, the pass
enger earnings being more than 100000 in
excess Of the previous year. The condition
of the entire line has been maintained and
improved. East of the Ohio river near $50
miles of track are now laid with steel rails
Under such able and vigorous management
giving additional security, ease, comfort and
speed, this favored highway is daily aug
menting in popular favor. 1t has been said
that few men can "run hotel," and itmay be
said with more force and truth that it re-
quires vast amount of mental stamina to
manipulate successfully a corporation Of
such gigantic proportions.

SOHOOL COMMISSIONERS.

When men who have been elected or APP
pointed to positions Of official or fiduciary
trusts allow their partialities or prejudices
to regulate and control their action in the
exercise of the duties appertaining to the
same, TO the evident prejudice Of the public
good, it is high time that they "should step
down and out"
In our last issue we took occasion to re-
mark that the School Board for reasons best
known to themselves had made departure
from the established usage and confined the
publication Of the report Of the Secretary
and Treasurer of the Board to be printed in
but one newspaper and selected the AdoO-
cate as the medium through which it was to
be given to the public.
Upon inquiring, we learn from the Secre-
tary that in adopting this course the Board
has been actuated by pure motives of econ
omy. If true, this is very praise worthy
and no one would move more readily with
congratulations than ourselves.
Let us now look at the facts and see how
much truth is in this assertion. AS the old
est paper-the SENTINEL-and having the
largest bona tide circulation in Montgomery
county, we are compelled to say we have
never been called upon or advised by any
notice that the School Board had any adver-
Using, nor have we been given chance
to say to that Board what our price would
be to do any printing for them. AS before
said, having the largest circulation and being
the oldest newspaper in this county, where
the public interest is to be subserved and
there is the least desire honestly to practice
economy, we cannot see either truth or JUS
tice in the assertion of economy when no other
paper had an opportunity to make an offer.
Talked economy is cheap commodity,
but it is far better for the public interest to
practice it.
We have stated the facts as they exist,
since the public is deeply interested in the
matter it is for them to judge whether the
Board has been actuated by selfish and par
tial motives, or otherwise.
If selfish and partial motives have inhu-
enced the Board, then they have justly for
feited the respect and confidence of the pub
lie; and it may be well said, they have been
weighed in the balance and found wanting

Now that the election is over and it is
known that Garfield has been elected, it is
to predict as to what kind of time we shall
have at the Federal Metropolis this winter
1t will in all probability be an interesting as
well as an exciting winter. This interest
will be largely in watching the formation of
the new Administration, Cabinet-making
and the parceling out of rewards for the he
roes of the past fight will be enough to keep
before the public constant supply of enter
tanning topics. Gen. Garfield, as the case
now stands, is President-elect, Senator-elect
and still holds his commission as member
of the House of Representatives There is
nothing to prevent his occupying his seat in
the House and taking part in the regular
work of the session should he feel so inclin-
ed, but there is not much probability that he
will do SO. 1t is rather anticipated that he
will resign his title to seat in both branches
ofCongress in order to attend to the work that
will be deluged upon him by the hoard of
offlce-seekers who beset every new Admins
tration.

Major General Schofeld's annual report
to the Adjutant General of the Army, con-
corning the condition of affairs at West
Point, while it may not be in harmony with
the views of the political demagogues, pre-
sents in the most striking manner the whole
matter of the negro cadets in clear bold,
fair and unprejudiced light that must COM
mand attention and respect. The General
reviews the famous Whitaker case, and
draws from it the moral that West Point is
not the place to begin the experiment of
testing the social equality of the coored
race. Military discipline" he says, "is not
an effective means of promoting social inter-
course or of overcoming social prejudice
On the contrary, the enforced association of
the white cadets with their colored COM
panions, to which they have never been ac-
customed before they came from home, APP
pears to have destroyed any disposition
which before existed to indulge in such as
sociations."
Theorize as much as they may, the dema-
gogue press and orators cannot deny this
indisputable fact West Point is not hot
house for the cultivation of the negro race
into social equality with the white. General
Schofeld fully recognizes the legal rights of
the colored, but he cannot see why they
should be put on a higher social plane at
West Point than they are any where else.
He sums up the whole question of "preiu-
dice" in these words, which any man of
calm reflection cannot fail to appreciate the
force and truth of:
The difficulty surrounding this subject is
aggravated by the somewhat common error
OF ascribing 1t to an unreasonable prejudice
against race or color. The prevailing "pre-
judlce" is rather just aversion TO qualities
which the people Of the United States have
long been accustomed to associate with a
state of slavery and intercourse without
legal marriage and of which color and its
various shades are only the external signs.
That feeling could not be removed by the
simple act of enfranchising the slave. 1t
can only be done by the education and
moral elevation of the race The great work
has only been commenced, and il must of
necessity require much time. To send to
West Point for four-years' competition Il
young man who was born in slavery is to as
sumo that half a generation has been sufti-
Gent to raise colored man to the social,
moral, and intellectual level which the aver
age white man has reached in several humid
red years.
This is the sound logic Of a man of COM
mon sense, reared in the strict school of
soldier and recognizing merit only as the
means Of advancement and equality.
