Grand Juries.

There are not wanting instances in dir
ferent parts of the State which show
either that grand juries are very careless
in discharging their duties or that they
are not always, as they ought to be, COM
posed Of the best men that can be found
in the counties in which they are to serve.
The facts of a criminal case that was
tried in Muscogee county few days ago
illustrate how careless or thoughtless
grand juries sometimes are. The case
was that of the State against Sol. Cole
man, a colored man. Coleman was in
dicted on the charge of having unlawfully
appropriated a piece Of chewing tobacco,
the value of which, probably, was I cent.
He had been locked in a cell with another
negro, who complained to the jailer that
little piece of tobacco that was in one
Of his pockets was missing, and as no
one had visited the cell he concluded that
Coleman had appropriated it. On this
state of facts, according TO the published
account, Coleman was indicted, tried and
acquitted. The cost of the trial to the
county was $27.
The cost to the county is not a matter
thhb Ou6Ah W tAtlAt dufbI6t CIillClsln III
any case where it is apparent that the
good Of society required an Indictment
and trial, but it is question of very
great Importance to the State whether the
higher courts ought to be troubled with
cases like that OF Coleman. 1t seems like
wasting the time of the courts and the
money of the counties to indict negroes
for stealing something OF such little value
as to have scarcely any value at all.
If grand juries throughout the State
were to take notice of such offenses as
that alleged against Coleman very large
part of the negro population would be in
the chain-gangs, and an increase in taxa
ton would be necessary to meet the costs
in criminal cases.
Grand Juries ought to exercise a reason
able amount Of discretion, where there is
room for discretion. A negro does not
take piece of tobacco from companion,
or articles Of food from those for whom
he works, with the same sense of wrong
doing that he steals money or rObs a hen
roOst. In one case he feels that he has
some sort of right to what he takes, while
in the other case he knows that he is vio-
lating the law. 1t does not seem, there
fore, that either the good of the individual
or of society requires that the taxpayers
should be put to heavy expense to pun
ish negroes who enjoy a chew of tobacco
at the expense of a companion.

The house that Grover Cleveland lives and
works in covers nearly third of an acre of
land, and has cost, all told, $4,000 900. 1t is
modelled after a castle in Dublin, and the
architect, who was a South Carolina man
named Hoban, got $500 for drawing the plans.
When it was first built, away back in the
nineties, it cost 100000 but the British
added to that sum about $l,700,000. In it all
the Presidents since Washington have lived.
and each has added to its beauties and Its ex-
pense.
John Adams bought the first billiard table
which was used IN it.. But in John Adams
time 1t was only half furnished, and Abigail
Adams used to dry her clothes in the big east
room. Year by year, however the furnishing
has gone on until now il is a sort of museum
Of art and beauty.

There is no reason TO doubt that the
President adheres 20 the determination
expressed in his letter Of acceptance not
TO be a candidate for reelection. Senator
Ransom, Of North Carolina, is authority
for the statement that his mind has not
changed on this subject. While there
would probably be little difficulty in Sc
curing Mr.. Cleyeland's denomination and
reelection, it may as well be accepted
that he will under no circumstances be
candidate for a second term.

ChGfLeaoR Times.
A few evenings ago the Second Branch Of
the Council of Wheeling adopted a resolu-
ton praying the Legislature to appoint q
committee to offer for sale to the State of
Pennsylvania through its Legislature that
part OF West Virginia known IS the Pan
handle" The First Branch failed to act
upon the resolution, aud consequently the
committee was not appointed. The business
men-or those who lead in business enter
prises at lesst-sppear to be very much in
favor Of the scheme.
By the annexation of the Panhandle
Pennsylvania would gain a large amount of
valuable territory, but West Virginia would
lose like blixen. Wheeling is nov one OF
the most important manufacturing cities in
the Union. Her nails may be found any
where between Halifax and the Sandwich
Islands.
Wheeling is a city which the people Of
West Virginia, even if they didn't help to
make it what it is, have reason to be proud
Of, and they cannot be blamed very much
iE-should this joke assume a serious
phase-they enter a protest emphasized in

But every bitter has its sweet, and the

for West Virginia must have q metropolis

A VITAL QUESTION DECIDED.

The editor of the New York Herald is in
deed q great man. While the rest Of the
world was yaporing over such matters as
the Egyptian question, labor and capital,
ETC., his great mind was silently, but none
the less steadily, working out he vital ques-
ton of this era, which is embodied in the
proposition: The supply Of susceptible
coaehmen must in the natural course Of
things run out. What is then to become Of
the giddy girlsT" The great man let no
one share his secret. he foreSaE the i'm
mensity of this new field of speculation and
discovery. His mind eomprehsnded that
the chances Of failure were more than ten
to one. No longer young, baseIess vanity
had no foothold in his nature and he knew
the INSCRIPTIONS nature OF his rivals in
greatness. No! He would conquer or fail
alone. What was fatigue, the strainson the
mind, deep and prolonged study and sleep
less nights to him2 He loved his country,
his race and future generations. What though
he dragged out the remainder Of his days
in q mad house2 It was for them, and would
be q glorious life in death. The supplyot
susceptible coachmen must, in the nature Of
things, run out. What is then to become
of the giddy girlsY' This was his guiding
star. Casting aside all else he kept it
steadily in sight. Through the halls of
fashion, into the dizzying vortex Of society;
down among the slumS ofthe great metropo-
lis be followed il All the ills and petty
checks known to great discoveries, he met
and, one by one, conquered and s~urnounted,
till finally with hsggsri cheek, upon which
mantels the hectic flush Of anxiety, and q
joyful briliancy, painful to see, in his sunk
en- eye, be t~riumphantly informs the world;
"a few days sgo a carriage with iverisi
menials was seen drawn up by the curbstone
in one Of our fashionable squares. The
driver sat on bis box, and as the footman
stood in q negligent attitude by the carriage
door, the graceful, beautiful and elegantly at
tired young woman who represented the
psternal interest in the outfit chAsted bEths-
ly with him, exchanging glances charming
in their eoquetry, and finally entered the
vehicle and was driven of. leaving q SAVIOR

The problem is solved. The giddy girls

nLN2NA OAD
: BIsNARcE's domestic policy is not con-
temptible; BIsNARCK's foreign policy is not
sublime. There is not a statesman in Eu-
rope, nor has there been one since the fall Of
the great Corsican, who could formulate his
demands so suecinctly and follow them up
so promptly as this man Of blood and iron.
Yesterday was issued in London the Blue
Book, and in itsppesrs thstthe history ofBIS-
xARCK's late f~oreigning policy in a nutshell.
81 need colonial extensions" he says, prac-
tically to England. IF you will aid me to
get them / will help you some time in re-
turn; If not, well and good, somebody else
win do as we'll" 1t is yes or no, stand and
deliver, with the German Chancellor. This
interesting communication was made on
May 5, 1884, and within less than ten
months after that date he has managed to
scoop in enough colonial extensions"
to keep England busy for the remainder of
this century. Mr.. GLADSTONE refused Bis.
MlRCK's offer and in doing that he doubt
less thought he performed q patriotic act.
The consequence Is that Russia is harrass-
ing him in the east, perhaps under the in
stigafion of BIsNARCK, so as to remind Eng
land ofwhat he meant BY her interests near
er home, which he "in return would sup
port" There is little sentimentshty in the
grim chancellor but q great deal Of direct
force that might have been available in
behalf of England if she had accepted his
offer of mutual aid. Germany is making
progress with her colonial extension at an
amazing rate despite the refusal Of Eng
land to cooperate with Der, while the lat
ter is extending nothing just at present but
her capacity for blunders.
