Presentment of Grand Jury,
September Te1n 1885.

Il. -
| ToAthe Honorable w. Fl. Wallace
Presiding Judge: % ...' q.
We, the Grand Jury, respectfully
beg leave to report that w@Psssaye pas
sed on all the bills handed ps fo,
our consideration, and in this, on,
general report would say that having
examined the County Offices at the
former term of court, and having
heard no complaint in reference to
them, we have deemed it unnecessary
to examine them at this tepm of the
COURT. "a ..-
We have, by o committee Of our
body, visited the Poor House, and
find that the paupers are properly
cared for and the farm In good con,
dtion. We have also visited the
County Jail, and find the prisoners
are we'll taken care of, and the jailer
doing his duty.
We would suggest, that owing to
the financial condition Of our County,
and tho heavy taxes already imposed on
our people, we deem it unwise at this
time to recommend the building of a
new Court House, or tho improve
ment of the present one.
We have examined the books of the
various Trial Justices, and find them
satisfactory, correctly and neatly
kept. We recommend that orr SEN
ator and members of the Legislature
use their influence to haye an act
passed, increasing the salaries of each
of the Trial Justices to the following
amounts:
For the Trial Justices of Easley
and Central Townships, each $125;
Liberty and Pickens, each $75, Hur-
ricane, Dacusville, Pumpkintown and
Eastatoe, each $40. Also, an Act to
require land ownera to remove from
their cultivated lands all dead timber
standing within reach of the public
roads. We would also call attention
of the Representatives from this
County to the fact that too many
persons are exempt from road duty,
and we recommend that they use theif
Influence to Lave the Road Law
amended so that all men who are
able to do manual labor be re-
quired to do road duty, and we would
also suggest that they endeavor to
haYe an Act passed, whereby Super
vlsors of Roads and Trustees of pub
lie schools should have sum rcmu-
aeration fer their services,
FTe Gaad that from gross careless
hess or intention, on the part of con-
| stables A. G.. Baker and Patrick
Russell, of Central Township, n pris-
oner by the name of Sam Cannon
'eada his escape while beiss Gqnxny-
ed to the County Jail OH September
18th ult., and would recommend that
the Solicitor take such steps as he
deems advisable for their prosecution.
1t having been brought to our at
tentaon that John II. Williams of
Central had been unlawfully engaged
i'll the sale of spirituous liquors, We
made thorough investigation of the
matter; a2d Rgd the charge unfound-
ed, there being no proof TO sustain it..
We call the attention of the County
Commissioners to the fact that the
contract for the drainage of Eighteen
Mile Creek has not been complied
with, and we recommepd that they
give their immediate attention to the
matter.
We return our thanks to your
Honor, the Solicitor and other Off
GERS of the Court for courtesies shown
us.
All Of which is respectfully sub
mltted. ". Al. HAGooD, Foreman.

Congress Condensed.

Feb. IL. The two Houses in joint convention
counted the electoral vote. Total, Cleveland
and Hendricks, 2l9; Blaine and Logan, 1872.
The counting was without incident, except in
announcing the result Mr.. Edmuntls said the
declaration Of the vote was mere formaity
and had no legal effect whatever The state
ment, which is without precedent, was designed
to call attention to the fact that there is no law
which gives to the joint convention the author
lty to declare who is elected President; that the
only office the Joint Convention has is to count
the vote and declare the result, and the law
makes no provision for the declaration of the
legality of that result. When the Senate reas-
sembled Mr.. Edmunds was criticised by his Re-
publican associates for his declaration. and
three or four entered formal protest. The
House also discussed the question, and then
considered the post office appropriation bill.
Feb. II. The Senate passed the bill to repeal
the presumption and timber culture laws. The
army appropriation bill was also passed. The
chair appointed committee of three, Messrs.
Sherman. Hawley and Ransom, to make ar
engagements for the Inauguration. In the House
