COTTON MARKET.
There lias been Mime impiovement aim cour last dnto
On Friday and Saturday last cnnsMamltta sale* were
made at i I cent?. Choice Cottons will still command
that price—and the principal sales are now from lOf to
102 in specie funds —extremes of the market ftom 94 to!
11 cents.
As there appears to he some misapprehension abroad
respecting the prices and comparative amount of Cotton
received here and at other places, on the first of Febru- I
ary, we would mention that our receipts were 33,692 |
hales. The Columbus Enquirer of 10th February*
makes the following report :
41 Receipts for the week ending February 9th, 1480
bales; received previously, ‘23,590 bales ; total re
ceipts, 25,079 bales; total shipments, 15.464 bales :
stork on hand, 9,015 bales; received same time last
season, 33,098 hales ; deficiency this year, 8,019
bates.
I he roads.during the past week have been so dread
fully had, that very tew wagnt.s have been able |n
resell toe city. JSales have lieen readily efleeted at
9j t. 10 rents. The latter is the usual price.”
The Cobimhus Times, of the 11th quote* Cotton from
0 to 10 eetit.s.
Receipts in the Augusta market on the first of Febru

PREEMPTION, CESSION AND DISTRHM TIO.V
The above are -ignifie .ant terms applied respective!v,
to piinciples, designed to he alterative of the existing
land system of the Government. They are now (or
rather rr* rntlv have been,) occupying the attention of
Connie--, nod have been discussed, ns i* usual with a!!
que.-lions he fore that body, elaborately, to the most tedi
ous degree. They have their respective clininpioiis,and
have eliejtrd much fine speaking, although of the most
di w,, nr?ive diameter. Mr. Benton is the champion of
tie* Preemption system; Mr. Calhoun of Cession, nod I
Mr. Cl yr f Distribution. ‘! heso file lenders have flirir ,
sever and adherent*. and strange to tell, they arc not oln- |
Mined uceotdinjr to party distinct! ns: for instance, Mr.
Webster is with Mr. Benton, in favor of preemption,
while Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun me against him: Mr.
Buchanan, and most of the Administration Senators
from the ohl States, arc against Mt. Calhoun’s scheme
of cession, nml in favor of Mr. Clay’s scheme of riiatri
bntion, while Mr. Preston, Mr. Rives nnd others are op
posed to all three, and in favor of the old land
which has been in existence for fifty y ears.
(t perhaps will not ho unacceptable to our readers, if
we tell than succinctly, what the substance is of these
several system >, which their authors, from nil inveit rate
li.ibit of over-much speaking, mix tip with such an in
finite deal of nothing, that it requires bot.'i time nnJ pa
tience to winnow the g ain from the chaff
Ly pre-emption, Mr. Btmtou means, the prior right
possessed hv the bo* a fide ttler, to pnrdiHsr n quarter
section of laud he had settled on, nt Government prices.
This law differ < from the pre-emption low now in force,
by being prospective iu its operations, instead oi retro
spective, ih objections urged by the opponents oftlii*
measure, are founded on the abuses to which preemp
tion laws give rise—being often made instruments of
•peculation, professedly benefit ting the poor man, but
all the benefits actually inuring to the speculator alone ; I
other objections urged are, that it will impair the reven- \
ue, by diminishing the price of lands, and, by encourag- :
ing emigration, produce an unnatural and forced dram :
from the old .States.
Mr.Cullmun’.sscheme w ill behest comprehended from ‘
bis ow n words. The provisions of the Bill introduced [
by him ure summarily detailed in the annexed extract
from his spec ch :
To dispose of all the public lands, lying in the
Stales of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, with
the exception of sites for oris. uu'y and dork yards,
arsenals, magazine!*, and other public buildings ; the
Cession not to take place till after the 30 h June, 1812,
and th n only <• the States respectively agreeing to
the conditions prescribed in Ihe amendment; that is,
to puss acts irrevocable, to adhere to those conditions,
the most prominent ol which is to pay annually, on a
day fixed, to the L . States, .65 per cent, ol the gross
proceeds of the sales ol the lands ; that the land laws
as they now - land, ind as proposed to be modified by ;
the amendment, shaw remain unchanged except with
the consent of Congress; that the cession bhall be in
full >f the 5 per cent, fund thereafter to accri e to those
States; that they shall he exclusively liable for the
cost of suiveys, sales, extinction of Indian titles, and
management generally : that the States may, within
certain presented limits, gradually reduce the price oi
the lands that remain unsold after having been offered
for sale ten years or upwards; may grant for a limited
pciiod, l*’c n Jit of pre-emption t.-r unit y days to the
actual settlers, at each step hi he reduction ol price:
ami finally, that il the conditions ol cession be viola
ted hv a Mate in any particular, all titles or giants to
land then alter sokl by the State to be null and void
thus giving the incuMiie the so ce and solemnity ot a
compact, ami placing the whole under the protection
of the courts, vvhrcli would pronounce the titles to Ihj
void, if inaJo after an infraction of the conditions ot
the cession*
This proposition found but little favor; it was deem
ed a derogation of lh* rights and interest of the old
♦States, depiiving them of a propriatoiy right in the pub
lic lands, which is the common property of the countiy,
eolomuly consecrated to the common benefit of all the
incmbeis of the Confederacy in the deeds of cos ion of
the respective States; it would moreover create the re
lation of debtor and creditor between the respective
States and tin* United Mates, a relative position which
would he pioJiietive of incalculable evil and mischn I :
it was moreover objectionable an the ground of in qual
ity in the (Intubation—llir hugest bodies of laud lying
til the States with the smallest population.
Th- Bill was lost by a Inga majority. The yens be
ing 2 ’ —the nays 31
Tin* pim of Mr. Clay was a kind ofcorrollary to the
j redemption principle, and its object was to distribute
ill-* proceed* of th<* Public Lauds ainoig all the States
in proportion to ineir light of propeity therein—that is
to say, in proportion to mi libers. Thin measure would
necessarily aubstruet so nine h, whatever it might hr,
from tins public Treasury, and to make up the deficiency,
give occasion to impose duties upon imports to an tine*
quid amount. The principle would thus he connected
with the Tariff, and, with Southern members, this was
an objectionable feature, tnat could not he surmounted.
All conceded that an important source of Revenue wotijd
necessarily be cut off hv this system of distiibution, ma
king our public Treasury dependant upon imprrta alone.
To make up this deficiency in the Treasury, created by
the distribution of the proceeds of the Public Lands,
which amounts to from three nnd half to four millions
annually, it was proponed, by the friends of the hill, to
impose now duties upon luxuries and such article* as
are not protected—such as Wines and Silks. Again, it
was argued that a tax upon French Wines end Silks
wus n tax upon the Tobacco and Cotton of tho South.
The Bill was rejected by a vote of 22 to 29.
51r. Benton's pre-empt ion Bill was pMMvI by a
rw^Hrty—tihrfy-ooe tatiinetrfi,
The Ad an alteration party buth in and out of Con
gress. are congratulating themselves upon what they
consider or rather w ish to consider, a schistn in the
Whig ranks. Piqued, chagrined and disappointed nt
results identified with their political ex istence, and to
avoid which every resource was brought to hear, they
are now determined not only to pursuadc themselves,
to view things to come, through a false medium, but
to use every exertion and strain every nerve, to induce
others to look through the same deranged and distor
ted speculum. If such men deem themselves qualifi
ed to be the exponents of the truth, they are mightily
deceived •; for their passions have so much the ascen
dancy of their judgment, that it is a moral impossibili
ty, they should lie able to discriminate between re
ality and fiction.
With them** the wish is father to the thought;” they
want to see tilings not as they actually exist, hut as it
is to their interest they should he. They are partisan
politicians, whose very life or deivh is coeval and co*
exten- with the rise or fall of their party. Their sen
sibilities ore within such narrow prescriptions,that they
can neither appreciate what is gooJ'in their opponents,
nor condemn what is had in their hands. Hence, we
sec that the Pres dent elect, and his administration, his
policy, whatever it may he, and his Cabinet, of whotn
soev r it may be compos ’d, arc alrea ly condemned in
the most unmeasured terms. Is there any reason, or
magnanimity in such a proscriptive course ? Mr.Cal
houn, Mr. Buchanan, and a few other high-minded
politicians, ands uite of me liberal Administration pres
ets, are disposed to judge of the intuits or demerits of
the coming Administiation frorr their acts, and not
prejudge them before trial. Let all others follow the
same commendable example, and if, after being fully
tried. Old Tip should be found wanting, then then
will lie full tune to condemn him; and us we have con
tributed our leeble aid to his election, should our anti
*ip. t:on not be realiz* and, we shall be as free to censure
is we have been to e.\i and tmn.
EXTRA SESSION.
We invite attention to an article from the. National
Intelligencer, giving most urgent reasons for an Extra
Session of Cnugres.-. We regret that such exigencies
should exist, a? to requite a called meeting of this body.
It sir ms dial die m cosby allcdged for an Extra Ses
sion could bo obviated, if the AJininistration party in
Congress*—nominally in the majority—would consult
the \i*he us ll) actual majority of the I’cojile.
Change* of measures have to he realized as well a*
changes of turn. Such will he the incv.uhle n.-.u!tfi,
mid it would U- a s .\ ing of immense expense to the

iiecri- urily have to alter the ti m ■ of their election, lor
Congressmen, to he represented, that the alternative
should not he resorted. Pm weare apprehensive that
the new Administration will he forced, hy the illiberal
course of their predecessors to rail (.\>inre-s together
i perhaps as early as May—if so, let the blame full where
‘! should , a liitlr .treteh of magnanimity on the | art
ol our opp ments, would preclude the necessity of such
! a ineasure.

Our readers are all aware before this, of the suspen
sion of the of the Bank United State., The Bank resu
med specie payments on th 14th of January, and after
paying out near six millions of |.ecie and specie funds
between that date and the 4tli Feb., which was more
specie than in all the Batiks of the State of New lark,
suspended on the last mentioned day. All the Banks
in Philadelphia with three or four exceptions, the New
Jersev Banks, the Baltimore and \ irginia Banks ex
cept the Richmond Banks have followed suit.
WEBSTER'S OCTAVO DICTIONARY.
\W have been favored with a copy of this highly val
uable work. It. ments and importance cannot be too
hicliK appreciated anu rew aided by our patronage and
support; being most extensively andalmost universally
adopted as the only correi t and complete standard of
American Literature by nearly ell the public institutions
and men of science and judgement in this country ; and
also preferred by the English nation generally, (which
numerous highly flattering testimonials amply deter
mine,) for its superiority in every point of view. The
most improved standard of pronunciation, clear and cor
rect diflnition, nnd ihnrmiglr ability which appears on
every page, render it the most useful work of its kind to
w hich we can refer for general use aniljextensive circu
lation. Being supplied with the whole of Walker’s
Kev to Latin. Greek jnd Scripture Proper Names; an
excellent synopsis of the derivalinn of words in seren
didorei.t languages, nnd a complete rystem of English
pronunciation, the work is only necessary to ho known,
to occupy a plate in the library of our families, students
aul professional men.
It call be examined and had on application at the
book store of Mr. R. F. Griffin, and others, generally
throughout the aisle.
Wk notice with pleasure the interesting and usefu
additions that have hern made, during the past year, to
that valuable publication— Haiipeh’s Familt Libiia
ht ; a wotk that no family should he without, for it is
not only instructive to the young, but possesses much
interest for those of riper years.
These works include History, Poetry, Buigrajhy,
Voyages. &c.&e., and their continued and suecesslul
circulation fur ro many years, has fully proved their in
t iusicand inc casing merit. We w ill notice a few ot
the numbers before us.
Krightlu's Histury of England, and Hale’s History
of the United Slates, are both valuable compendium*,
au,| have been much needed—a* most of the Histories
of these (.'outlines have been too voluminous for the
perusal of ninny, for whom the Family Library is prin
cipally intended.
Selections from the British Ports, hy Fitzgreen
H Heck , and Selections from the Amtncun Potts, hy
William C. Bryant, display much taste and discern
ment. It is ditlicult in make selections w hen (lure is (
so mud) from which to choose. Our Poets have been
so little known and apptceialed, in comparison w ith the |
Englisi) Poeis, lliai we s .ouhi fe I paiticularly grate- J
ful to the li.niii that would gitlicr the ge .is, ami cull

strength and ,enius, not inferior to that of other coun
tries.
J inism's Life nnd Writings, hy William Page, is
a u eful wo k. Most ol the Lives of the •• gicat Eng

trifling nnd unneceunry. (as Boh.w ll s Lite, dte.) that

he should appear, with the gravity and dignity that lie- j

The work fully exemplifies tho lesson it designs to

Extract of a letter, written by n Mrrihant of this
City, to his friend in Mew York.
You are no doubt aware that the Banks of Geor
gia were to resume specie payments on the Ist inst.
Above I hand you a copy of the oath admin'Mured to
those who demand pivment of the notes of thj Mon
roe Rail Road <Sc Banking Go.—something new un
der the sun ,, —a'i the extie.lie of the ridiculous, in
Banking notions—This oath is said tube the manner
in which the Directors and President think proper to
interpret the law j to such pers oi, as, with the tear
ol a prosecution tor pe jury before them, nevertheless
take the oath. I’lre Cashier then proceeds to ui igh
out 10, 2 ti and SO mil pieces, alier the manner of the
most scrupulous exactness--the ciretullesl nicety—
the most minute observation iiml this Bank proceed
ing in this manner, with liabilities to the extent of
*BBO, OOO, has been known to pay otr more than Thir
ty Dollars during the Banking hours of one day.
This B lok Ini* a charter fora nipilat of one million
of Dollms. The stile uu 1 composition of the oath is
no doulH the result of the wi ll lO.isidcretl, s igatious
reflection of the Directors, and all its oilicers; and
you can thereby make your own observation, as to
the principl e uml suitableness ol the men, to whom
Institutions capable of working such vast mischief
are entiusied—and by uneasy process of induction,
judge what kind of u co nii jinty it is, where such
things can l ike place, where there is countenance
enough given them, to conic inlo'p.ueiice —where there
is food to generate ami suppoit such extravaganc es.
This Hank limy iui.l thousands by uclual loss of
money, and does not only discredit the whole commu
nity in its neighborhood, hut, hy the intemperate ex
citement produced in argument between its fi tends aim
its foes, creating enmity between meirtbimeily friend*
—from the fluctuations that lake place in the value of
its Isiflsljoni day to day—from the passions aroused
in liy> bos mis of men, who consider themselves die li
ed ftut of their piopcrty —the otlering its lulls in pay.
tnetTtof debts, when it is 30 per cent below par —the
refusal to take them on one ban I— the refusal to pay
f they are not taken, on the other—the taking them
from doubtful debtors, and selling them immediately—
■ lie -peeulatnns, the < i.nji nines which disl.act
‘he mind from the sober business and enjoyments of
life, is absolutely debauching, and op-rooting every |
principle of mom I honesty and integrity and destroy
ing all correct notions of commercial promptitude and :
honor.
Tniss Bank liasb en going on with this kind of re
sumption for two weeks, and yet, I do not know that
any lias reported its failure to the Governor, so as to I
enable him to put the law in lorce against it —whether !
the Gov, will do his duty practically or sophistically
has yet to he seen—and his duly done, whether the
( people will visit its sins with a proper anil ju-t degree
I of indignation, may depend upon some r ieee of pol
! itics at lire time—some indeflinitr notion of general
| good, or of the benefit of Internal Improvement, that
’ may lie entertained bv some of out fur string, very
piofouml philosophical minds, your vague theorists,
whose wild schemes mu-l he advocated, though the
result may be, todcatroy a p.ople, lor t,.e purpose of
making roads for them to ride upon—vonr knowing
ones, who can xvalk backwards for the purpose of ret
ting forward, who ran gndow n tor the purpose of get
ting to tire top. — Upon what | ilifol vasion the bro
i ken hanks may escape punishment—how this buileeqnc
; of the laws of the land, how this implied sneer of de
franc*'; at every eflurt a suffering people may make,
to save themselves fiom robbers, will end, I know not.
A consideialion of the injustice that will be done to
such of our hanks as to nhry the la v, the effect of
the example on the community, that a virtualdisregard
of the, law, liy those chartered gentlemen, will have
the unsettled state of things on account of our curren
cy—the uncertain value of properly —of debts—of wa
■ ges—the impossibility of making a contract for a month
beforehand, with any knowledge of what sum pro or
loon, you are coiitractii g tor. the disgrace of the
country, ti.e destruction of credit aral confidence, the
ruin of our inert bants—the desertion ot capital and
honesty from our City the degradation of the morals
of the people, all of which are to be affected in a de
gree, by the practical execution of this law in relation
to Banka —a consideration of all these things, docs not
enable me to judge, how this Bank business will end.
Under our credit system, as it is conducted, in con
nection with oor laws in relation to debts, every one
should l>e looked upon as broken, breaking or doom
ed to break. X.
fOXMCN ICATF.I),
Messrs. Editors Will you permit me to ask through
your paper, why it is that the people of this City, dif
fer so materially from those of other cities of Georgia,
in w hich it has been my fortune to have some acquuin
tdiice. Il would appear to tne that there is no coidi
ality, reciprocity of feeling, or unity of interest
amongst us—as and a selfish ami avaricious feeling
solely predominated— * every one for himself,” and
let the public welfare shift for itself. I have not seen
this elsewhere—l have usually seen the citizens of
Augusta, Savannah, Milledpeville and Columbus jeal
ous of their rights, and ready to stand up to the
interests of theii cities. Is it so here at this lime? I
think not —facts w ill speak. We have a great work
in jeopardy,—Our interests—the interests of our sea
port—the interests of Central Georgia to our borders
on the Tennessee arc in jeopardy —and this not mere
ly the act of those indebted in the Hank, of specula
tors and brokers, whose interest it is to create panics
and financial difficulties, hut of tire very guardians of
our welfare, our city authorities —and I might almost
say, that with them it had its origin.
But it is not my business to ciioiinr.tr either the City
Council of Mile on, who have most unmcessiirily taken
hn uctive part in opposition lo this institution, or individ
uals whose interest has induced them to run down the
Bank and tlie whole enterprise. It is to call public at
tention to the great work which our nets are udanger
ins —to the progress of another rail road that would for
ever over overthrow mid ruin every future hope of pros
perity to our city, if we w ere now to suffer ours to hfc
checked or stopped short of its completion. Cannot our
citizens see it ? Are they willing that the produe** of
the country, within twenty or thirty miles ol as, should
find its only outlet at Charleston ? Have they liot pat
riotism oiionzh left to contend for onr interests, nnd lor
the pride and prosperity of the Mate ?
Messrs. Editors, I am not used to writing, nnd there
fore will la* brief— lint I wish to ask if n is not better
that wi should bear with the struggles of one Bank
ing liisiiiiitioii, which it no doubt will survive, even at
an inconvenience and small individual loss to many of
u, than to overthrow it ut once, and thereby carry panic
and ruin to every other one of our cii v, or cripple them
beyond any pawn to gi\e relief, or facilities lor our fu
ture business. AN OLD CITIZEN.

Extract from the Proceedings of a Meeting at Lock
port, Stw- York.
“ Rkaolveh, That no obstruction to the discharge
of said Mt Lend in case he has entered into hail shad he
made or countenanced, hut that it is the right and du
ty of this meeting, considering the circumstances of the
case, and that the itmoun of bail is far unequal to the
demand of the law, (if hail be allowed at all,) totiy to
p evail on Messrs. Duel and to surrender
said McLeod to the tfhcriflT, a privilege which bail m
all cases possessi h.”
After which, the Ncw-Yoik Courier and Enquirer
says—
*• ‘Flie meeting then adjourned to 0 o’clock on the
following morning; at which time theCoinmitUe re
ported. At this meeting Judge Bowen and Captain
Buel, were present, and arrangement.-* were made for
the legal surrender of McLeod hy his hail. A Com
mittee was then appointed to embody the sentiments
of the meeting in a series of resolutions, which were
reported mid adopted after the following fashion :
** Whi skas. The case of Alexander McLeod, arres
ted and held on bail f*r a capital offence, has become a
matter of sellout importance, and to which the atten
tion of our fellow-citizens in uvery part of the country
is directed, we as citizens of the village of Lnckport,
and county of Niagara, feeling anxious that such steps
should l*e taken in the matter, as shall lie consistent
with our rights, the supremacy rtf our luws, and a vin
dication of our national honor, disavow all intention of
prejudicing the cms of said Alexander McLeod, or to
do aught that shall have a tendency to prevent said
Mel***! from basing a fair aud usparttil tual* acting
I oil tile legal lluxirn, that th* accused should Us pi- !
ouiued innocent until proved guilty.
“ Therefore. Resolved, That we are highly gratified
that Captain \\ illiam lioel haa seen lit to (dace Mc-
Leod again in custody, especially a it is hut a few days
before the sitting of our Couit, when the Grand Jury
will piss U| on his case, under the direction of the
Court.
Resolved, That we highly approve the rerent an
swer us Mr. Foray’ll to the unjust demand of Mr. Fox
for the discharge of said McLeod, and the sentiments
of Mes-rs. Fillmore, Cushing and Alford, delivered in
Congress, fully meet our approbation, and are sueli ns
the exigency ol the ease and the honor of the Nation
culled for.
Resolved, That all cause ofdissaliafaetion in relation
to the hailing of McLeod has been removed hy the
course taken hv Judge Bowen and Captain Burl, and
that therefore this meeting stand adjourned without
day.”

Monetary affairs are almost the only topics of con
versation. Pol lies, for a time, ire banished. Wall
street is thronged with anxious inquirers after the val
ue of stocks, or the safety of their deposit** ; but there
is no run upon the franks. It is well understood that
they are firm. The specie iu their vault: has been in
creased since the first of January, and now amounts to
$5,504,100, while their circula ion and deposites aie
about, the same. They pursue their usual course of
business, and discount with some freedom.
The Union of tire Canadas will lie officicially an

The case of the brie Tigris, brought into Salem un

required, the libel dismissed.

Won rut of Imitation-. We rro.t cordially re
commend to the consideration of our fellow citizens the
following preamble and resolutions adopted recently
int a meeting of the citizens of Milledgeville :
Whereas by the oxtraordinary circumstances of the
times, sind the peculiar state and deficiency i:i oui
monetary affairs, the country is suffering g urral dis
tress, and that distress likely to double, from the late
developeinent of a more general failure, in the last crop,
i than ever heretofore known ; and whereas, it whs as-
I certained, by a repot t of the Finanri.il Committee of
the Legislature, that *i law could not he pocsed to alle
viate the condition of debtors, without impairing the
obligation of contracts. For remedy whereof.
Resolved, That the jtoople themselves, in tlie abun
dance of good feeling for each other, under the present
most oppressive circumstances, forbear to press their
demands by suit or executions for the present, and un
til the coruing in of another crop, and thus effect, bv
general assent, for them selves, what Legislation coulJ
not, constitut onally, do for them.
Resolved, That we recognise the use of Banks, and
tlie credit System generally, as absolutely necessary,
in the present emergency ; and that we will not make
the resumption of specie piyinents bv the Banks, the
time to test the solvency of any one of them ; hut will
give the hills of .ill the Bunks in the State, general cur
rency nnd credit, (claiming of them the necessary spe
cie change only) to enable them to conform to the
general pacification herein proposed.
Resolved, That we construe nothing in these reso
lutions to stay continual industry, in the payment of
all dues, without being sued, whether hy barter, ex
change of paper, discount, money, or otherwise, ns the
most favorable circumstances of the times mnv enable.
Resolved, That the action of this meeting of all par
ties be published in nil the newspapers ;n Millcdgc
vrlle.

Got. MdDnvitD, or Gkonon.—This .beautiful
specimen of Georgia Democracy proposes to relieve
the people by the manufitrlure of State bonds to be
lent to tranks and then converted into notes to be lent
to the speculators! This is rendered necessary, he
thinks, from the short crop of cotton last year. If he I
be n lair specimen of tho democracy of Georgia, we !
think it is rather fortunate that the party was defeated. >

GltlND JURY PKESE^TJIEMTd.
8188 SUPERIOR COURT. I
Fkmiuart Tkkm, IR4t. )
f 0 I HR Grand Jurors, selected nnd sworn for thin Term.
I take great pleasure in noticing the greet absence
of crime generallv, especially when limy consider the
and i flit: n hies of'the times und the hardships that have to be
submitted to by that class of people who usually fur
nish so large u quota on the criminal docket — nn evi
dence, they trust of the moral improvement of the com
munity; nnd in these times of pecuniary excitement, it
is matter of agreeable surprise that so few cases ol out
rage occur.
‘rile Jury have examined the condition of the Jail,nnd
find it kept in g od order, and as comfortable for the in
! mates as it can well be.except so far as regards debtors,
i who,occupiug the lower rooms, are too much in tliecou
| dilion of other inmates, on account of the height of the
fence, which ns eiV vln ill v shuts out the prospect of see
! ing into ill * streets as il’thev were placed in evil**, where
i no one. could be seen. They also recommend to the
i Court to have the moms,ceils, passage** nnd fence white
j wusbed inride, so soon as the season requires it.
| The Court* House is fast getting out of repair, nnd we
1 recommend to the Inferior Court to have it examined,
! nnd at least the balcony r paired. t< prevent leaking ;
j nnd also recommend the Court to have tlie liou.se en
| d.iseil with a neat and substantial fence.
The Committee to report on tlie* condition of the Poo*
’ House, having discharged that doty,make a good report
! (and the cleanliness and good iiianngeimn.t of that estab
lishment.
The Committee to report on the Tax Collector'll In
solvent list, \< have examined tin* list returned by .Mr.
Hughes, amounting to $897 19, which we recommend
his being allowed us the amount of his insolvent list. -
And on further examination, they find the sum of
18, for c\e< ulion* issued and collected by various offi
cers, and not paid oxer; which we recommend his hov
i ing additional time to adjust, by rule or otherwise.
The Committee to examine the Clerks* Books of both
Courts, having examined them, confirm ilm usual good
management of those departments nnd fimleverv thing I
committed to these officers in good order.
The Bridges in the county arc all in good order, but
j the Roads, owirg to the late ruins, are in bad condition.
We enjoin on the Rond Commissioners, us soon ns the
weather v\ ill permit, to have them pm in good order.
The County Treasurer'* Report has her n examined
nnd found correct, with vouchers, Ate. See. They- find an
| ui expended sum of sls 87 in Ins hands; an So’ the Per r
; School Fund, there appears to he owing him the sum of
38 15. Both these departments have given satisfaction;
nnd it is to he h< per! run next examination yvill show u
greater balance in the Treasury.
Wc think the course pursuer! In the Monroe Rail Rond
Bank, of weighing American coin,by half dimes and dimes i
if not a palpable violation, at least mi evasion of Law,
highly inconvenient and injurious to hill-holders. Whilst
we are unwilling i sav anything calculated to add to
, the present high stute of excitement on this subject, it is
proper to state, that the notes of this Bunk cannot he
made available at home, without submitting to a dis
| count of 20 per cent, for such funds ns will enable debt
; ors to discharge ordinary business debts; which we ap
prehend would not now ,be the condition of affairs, but
| lor the repeated engagements made bv the President.
.Mr.Griffin, who has so far failed to fulfil nnvof these en
gagements, nnd has thus acted in bad faith to tins com
munity.
j * AW Opposed to the calling of nn Extra Session of
i the Legislature, from n belief that no public utility would
| result ftom it, and that it would he u tireless waste cl
! time and money.
Resolykd, ‘Phot, in the opinion of this Jury, the prac
tice ol refusing to takeout License to Retail Spirituous
j Liquors from the Inferior Court, because the same pnr
| lien obtain License from the City Authorities, is a prnc
| lice not founded in law; and the issue of License from
{ the authority of the city, docs not exonerute the pur
i ties.
\r:d further, That to give all parties interested notice
of the same, the following named persons appear on the
book. is defaulters, who will take notice that if their
Licenses are not taken out by the Adjourned Term, thev
will be proceeded against according to law , viz :
