| III MS CndTge 10 tne Granu jury OF
the converting of the May term of the
| Circuit Court, Judge Little gave ex-
preston to some patriotic utterances.
His address is as follows:
"If the old patriarchs could rise and
speak to US, what charming bits of his
tory they could dwell upon touching
the conduct Of their day and genera
lions which have followed along down
the avenues of time until we find our
selves this day discussing the same
subject excepting that we follow the
plans Of our day and time under the
forms of our more modern laws.
1.-THE sentinels of peace and good
order have, in my judgment, never
been more watchful than now. It was
a part of their duty then as now, and
former grand juries have been in our
| own time most effective and salutary
| in suppressing evil.
1.-The establishment of a grand Jury
as one element of the freedom of the
citizens has resulted in incalculable
good.
Unlike the Spaniards in the time
of the good saint We have a good gov
eminent. But it Is not true that the
lawlessness which prevails in our land
is unsurpassed in the worst Of the
governments Of these early days. And
yet l am afraid the angels will not take
up their abode amongst us until we
reform somewhat so it devolves upon
the grand juries to assist in maintaining
peace and good order. What blessings
we have! No people ON earth enjoy
liberties so large! The burdens of a
benevolent government are scarcely ap-
probable. They are returned to the
people in many forms of most striking
and widespread benefit. Millions are
expended for the development of our
rivers and harbors. Public buildings,
spacious, comfortable, exquisite in ar
chitecture are constructed all over the
land for the convenience of the people
and the ready disposition of the pub
lie business of the country.
Our postal system is unprecedented
In it's comprehensiveness, efficiency
and completeness.
THE flag borne by our gallant navy
is known and honored on every sea.
Our foreign policy has given to the
clearly ascertained will of the Amer
lean people practically the effect of in
ternational law.
1.-The great isthmian canal, which will
soon be an accomplished fact, will save
more than 10000 miles in distance and
more than fifty days in time by steamer
as to time and expense to complete the
trip around the Horn. All these things
tend to develop the good citizen and
the man who loves his country and to
make good jurors.
'"The performance of any duty re-
quired of you as grand jurors should
not be influenced by politics or political
associations.
1.-THE grand Juror is not only terribly
ing to wrong doors, but he is persua-
sve to those who hesitate between the
narrow path of duty and the broad
and open way to destruction. A high
minded Juror who knows the public
right and knowing dares to maintain
it, may in truth be no less effective
than a high-minded preacher. Both
have noble missions, but while the lat
ter can depict the sinner in glowing
colors-the lurid terrors which await
him in the life to come-the former can
give to that reprobate very convinc-
ing illustration of the wages of sin in
the life that now is. This is sometimes
salutary to those who would not be
moved by the spirit, but who yet re-
ceive lasting benefit by pains and pen
alties to the flesh under the forms of
law. 1 have sometimes thought that |
the grand juror confronting the baleful |
organization of crime and criminals |
either in greater or less degree, |
should be animated by some of the
spirit of Cromwell who, as he drew his
sword at Dunbar, shouted in the words
of the psalmist, Let God arise! Let
