4 Recess Taken to Await the Findings
of the Grand Jury.
The November term of the United States
circuit court was convened yesterday morn
inc. and at the close of the morning session
,bs court took a recess until next Tuesday.
Judge Speer left last night for Macon.
Disrrict Attorney Erwin and Marshal
Corhett re NAMED to attend to the grand
imrv which will remain in session until the
Close of the week, with eighty-five witnesses
in attendance.
After calling the panel of grand jurors
that Jury was organized and is as follows:
Joseph W. jackson, foreman; c. A. Will
Jams w. j. Touchton, Henry II. Sharpe,
" S. Robinson. r. R. Terrell, Jr., D. C.
carmichael, John Clements. r. P. Dorse,
Hamilton Sears, Henry c. Taylor, Joseph
Fllerv, Cord Asendorf, w. S. Mallard, ].
Samuel L. Gerst, Joseph NJ. Fleming,
Robert B. Chisholm and Aaron Hilson.
Judge Speer's charge was lengthy, but
imnromptu, and is said TO have been one of
the most impressive and earnest that he has
ever delivered. He dwelt particularly upon
the necessity of prosecuting unfaithful
nublic servants, postoffice thieves, counter
feiters and utterers of spurious coin and
currency, those who have fraudulently OBJ
tanned pensions, illicit distillers; and he
dwelt upon the latter class of law-breakers
much in the eloquent and vigorous strain
which characterized his charge to the grand
iury at Macon recently.
The following traverse jurors were i'm
naneled and excused until next Tuesdey:
Jobn J. Rocks, James E. Rogers, William
Alderman, Seaborn Oglesby, James Y.
Eason, James H. Tillman, George W.
Shearhouse, John e. Rentz, Bristow Green
lcolored), Mitchell q. Mccall, Jeremiah
j. John, and F. Il. Butler.
Joseph A Cronk, Esq. was admitted to
practice in the United States courts, and a
William Pease, who applied for admission
to practice.
After listening to the views of attorneys
as to their readiness to enter upon the trial
of civil causes, Judge Speer fixed Monday,
Nov. IS. upon which to assign the cases on
the civil docket.
No decisions were rendered by the court.
There are two cases, however, of interest in
which Judge Speer has reserved his de-
cision, and it may be given before the close
of the term. These are the Lamar case
and the Parsons-Desvergers case. The rice
land case of Mills and Tayler against the
government will not be heard at this term,
but the following cases are likely to come
on to be heard:
W. C. Jackson &c Co. VS.. johnson Kim
ball. Action on account.

Richard Sims Donkin. This is an attach
ment case removed from the city court of
