Those Calling This Grand Jury.
We find that those who circulated
the petition, and were most promi-
nent in plunging our county into the
extraordinary expense of this grand
jury, are the very ones from whom
We have received the least aid, as
sistance and information: not one of
them have voluntarily appeared be-
fore us, and when, near the time of
adjournment, We were compelled to
procure the attendance of a number
of them by a subpoena, not one was
able to swear to a single specific Of
fense, and none could, or did, present
to us, the name of any person, known
TO be a violator OF the law, or give us
information by which any violation of
the law might be suppressed.
We have had before us more than
one man, who admitted signing the
petition, and who swore that he had
purchased liquor but, that he always
exhausted every means at his COM
mand not to know the identity of him
from whom he was purchasing.
Jail.
We have examined the county jail,
and find that the prisoners therein
are humanely treated, that the condi-
tions are hygienic and the inmates
as comfortable as prison will permit;
and that the prisoners themselves
say, they are well fed and cared for.
Officials Generally.
We find that the officials, gener-
ally, are performing their duty to the
best of their ability, but are greatly
handicapped in their work by an ap-
parent lack OF sympathy and encour.

and order, that they, hereafter assist

We recommend that those with

characters.

Conclusion.

SOISluolOH.
We have endeavored to do our
duty, as grand jurors, without fear
or favor, conservatively but sternly.
We have been as expeditions and as
economical as thorough eXamina-
ton into all matters coming before
us would permit, and how well we
have employed our time and kept
our oaths, the future will tell.
We thank the judge of the court
for the many courtesies shown us.
And having completed our labors,
attaching hereto, the names and ad-
dresses of every witness examined
by us, we respectfully ask that we
be discharged.

DRY GOODS REVIEW.

New York January 33.--In the early
part of the week the cotton goods
market was considerably disturbed by
the continued breaks in cotton. and
buyers were timid about placing bust
ness of any kind. At The close there
WAS distinctly steadicr tone, and
buying on some lines was being re-
sumcd.
Cotton blankets and other mapped
cottons for fall arc being placed under
order by tse large iobhers. osnahurSs
for the bagging trade We're bought
freely on a basis of about . cents for
seven ounce goods.
There was some falling off In prices
of convertibles. but principally on spot
merchandise or on goods held in semi
speculative ways. Declines of this
character ran TO IA cent a yard on
some wide cloths of print cloth yarn

Southern ginghams hold firm, and
"a steady business is reported. Plaids
are moving moderately Wide sheet
ings arc pretty Well sold ahead, but
narrow sheetings of the heavier con-
structions are in light demand.
Export trade is OF a scattering sort.
Better business is reported in staple
