Wood County Circuit Court Pro
ceedings.

Honorable J. M. jackson, Judge,
presiding.
Because of the many prisoners
confined in the County Jail, his
Honor ordered special term of his
Court, which commenced on the
seventh inst.
The Grand jurors, serving at the
beginning of the term, were as fol-
lows: S. P. Wells Foreman, J. v.
Rathbone, Jas. w. Dis, J. H. Fisch-
err, J. L. Buckley, Prather Greer,
Alphes Griffin, R. H, Burk, J.
Vaughn, A. S. Dyke, Henry Cooper,
M. V. Trough, H. N. Crooks, JAS
I. Tracewell, J. B. Hull and George
Mcfarland. His Honor's charge to
the Grand Jury, was given in bold
and unequivocal English, special
reference being made to the unfor-
tunate necessity for special term
of his Court He was earnest, vigor-
Gus and pointed, dealing boldly in
specific facts, and not sparing in his
comments on the disreputable con-
dition of public morals, and the
lamentable prevalence of disorder
and crime in the city and vicinity.
While his opinions, expressed as to
the policy of license, would not &C
cord with the views of many tenn
perance men, yet his charge as to
the enforcement of the liquor laws,
and his urgent directions to the
Grand Jury to search out and pre-
sent all violations, were all that the
most radical could wish. He
charged that when men sell in VIC
lation of law, they violate their sol
emn contract with the State, and
their license ought to be revoked
and that if the persons granting
them licenses do not revoke them,
they violate their oaths of office.
The Grand Jury was in session
from Monday till Friday noon, and
returned the following true bills of

WHAT MANY REPUBLICANS WIZ

The New York Evening Mail, a
pronounced Republican paper, nc
ticing the majority with which the
Republicans and the Administration
will start in the next Congress, says:
They will find themselves abandon
ed by thousands and tens oithousands
OF able, rejecting, honest and diun-
terested Republicans who became
such, not for Office, but because they
believed that The Republican Party
meant not only The preservation OF
all the results of the war, but OF
State and national good fHtb in the
payment Of debts These men will
not proclaim their intentions IN puo
lie places, They will sil,uly watch
and want, and hope that the party
may rise in the strength Of it's old
cherished principles and ijsavow all
bargains and alliances with Malone
aud other repudia'ors, who may talk
about the destruction Of Bourbon
ism being their msia object and re-
Pudistion a mere incident and pre-
tense, but who know that their real
political strength is in the populari-
ty Of reputation. If these silent !
and anxious watchers find that their
party has not the moral force, as an
organization, to slough off the di-
sease OF Mahonery, they will qui-
etlY leave a party they can no longer
respect"
