Presentiments.
THE second panttel of the Grand Jury selected
and sworn for the county of Muscogee, at Oc
tober Terra, 1841, make the following recomuien
dations and presentments :
The books of the Clerks of the Superior and In
ferior Courts have been examined, and found to be
kept with so much neatness and accuracy, as to enti
tle those officers to great credit.
The books and accounts of the county Treasurer,
have been examined and found to be kept with entire
perspicuity, and accuracy. And we find a balance
in his favor of $513 and 05 cents advanced by him.
exclusive of two years salary due him.
We have examined the Tax Co'llecter’s book, and
recommend that he be allowed the sum of $1,358 and
36 cents, for his insolvent list, aud cost on 438 exe
cutions issued and returned. 62* ccuts each ; niukiug
$273 dollars and 75 cents. And in explanation oi
this large insolvent list:
We present the Receiver of Tax Returns for the
county of Muscogee, tor gross carelessness in insert
ing only the initial letter, and omitting to write out
the Christian name of very many individuals, of whom
taxes are required, in the book returned to the Tax
Collector; thereby rendering it impracticable for that
officer to collect a large sum of money duo to the
State and county for taxes, for want of the means ol
identifying the persons from whom it is due. More
than one hundred names on the insolvent list alone,
are thus entered ; and a few others without Christian
name or initial letter. Nor is the practice less cen
surable, of inserting a multitude of names in the
hookas defaulters, when it was known, or might ea
sily have been known ; that very’ many of the indi
viduals had removed from the cottmv, utte or two
years previously. One result of this practice is, that
the Receiver of Tax Returns receives his commis
sion upon the amount thus returned; and another is,
that the Tax Collector he is hound to do) issues
his executions against the individuals, and receives
his fee of 62jJ cents in each case* Thus doubly de
frauding the State and county.
Wetake pleasure in adding our hearty concurrence
to the sentiment expressed by the highly intelligent
and respectable body ol Grand Jurors, who preceded
us during the present term of Court, on the subject
ol the shameful desecration of the Sabbath days im
mediately preceding elections; and request our Sen
ator and Representatives in the present Legislature
to use their influence for the passage ol a law to
change the day of election of Governor, Congress
ional Representatives, members of the Legislature
and county officers, from Monday to some other day
in the week.
We concur, also, with that body in the opinion that
the increase of crime in the country may be traced in
some degree to the want of more able and efficient
Attorney and Solicitors General, and recommend an
increase o the salaries of those oflicers.
It is rather with pain than with pleasure, that we
feel constrained to withhold our concurrence, in whole
or in part, from the recommendation of that body up
on the subject of a county Jail: and the more so, as
an intimation is understood to have dropped from
his honor Judge Wellborn, in his charge delivered at
tne commencement of our duties, in concurrence
with that recommendation. The reasons that have
led us to our present conclusion are as follows.
It appears that a contract was entered into in the
year 1338, for the erection of a Jail; and during that
same year, an unconditional order was passed by the
Inferior Court for the payment of $3,500 in part con
sideration therefor; the order has been passed into
the hands of a third person, aud a large portion of it
actually paid. If that contract is abrogated, this
$3,500 must be a total loss. And furthermore, the
Contractors have executed asmull portion of the work,
and have purchased a large quantity of materials for
tile further prosecution of it, to the amount of sever
al thousand dollars, which renders it doubtful, wheth
er that contract can he amicably, and without further
loss,cancelled. Again—Having examined the orig
inal contract, we are of opinion that if the work is
faithfully executed iu accordance with it, the build
ing will be of sufficient strength to hold any and eve
ry person ever committed to it. W have only to
regret, that the contract did not require the founda
tion to be of granite instead of bricks, which we
think Would have added materially to the dutability
of the building.
In regard to the location of the Jail building on
the south part of tile court-house square, we are not
insensible of the great convenience to be derived
from it; but to our minds, there are objections on
the other side, that more than counterbalance this
convenience. In the first place, we are advised that
the county owns no property in the ground contain
ed in the south part Os the court-house square, but
that it is the property of the city of Columbns; and
we think it very doubtful whether permission could
be obtained from the city authorities for the erection
of a building thereon of that character. But eyen if
this could be done, we are clearly of opinion, that
manifest injustice would be done to the owners of
reai property around the square. The value of those
lots was enhanced at the time of purchase, by their
location in front of a beautiful square, upon which it
was contemplated a splendid court-house would at
some time be erected. That expectation has been
realized; but we apprehend that if it had been un
derstood that u Jail would he added to the improve :
ments of it, the lots around it would have been bought
at much lower prices. And we suppose that the
erection of a Jail there now would depreciate the
value Os that property to the extent ol tweiity-Sve
percent, or more. We cannot therefore give our
sanction to a measure that would opetate so manifest
ly to the injury of a portion of our good Oiti^ens.
In view of the whole subject; having been advised
that the Justices of the Inferior Court have satisfied
themselves that the work, so far as it has progressed,
is of sufficient strength, we recommend that they
adopt the most efficient measures to secure its imme
diate resumption and early completion. And if they
cannot secure this object with the present contractors,
we recommend that they abrogate the existing cort
tractand give it to someone from whom satisfactory
assurances can be received.
We congratulate our fellow-citizens of the county
of Muscogece, upon the liquidation and prospect of
the final extitiguishmeiitof a large debt that lias been
hanging over the county. When the present Justi
ces of the Inferior Court came into office, the county
debt was about $42,000. This has been reduced in
three years to about $16,000 ; and during that peri
od, many bridges have been washed away, ami re
built, with other heavy incidental expenses. These
heavy amounts of money have been raised mainly by
by taxation, which has been necessarily laid upon
the people to-an extent hardly equalled, and probably
not surpassed in any section of country at any time
since tile formation of oiirgoveriiment; and has been
borne by our good citizens, almost without a mur
mur ; which is ninth to their credit; and from which
we trust and believe they will ere long be relieved.
We are aware that the subject of the evils of in
temperance has often been introduced by Grand Ju
rors; aud perhaps as often without any beneficial
results. But viewing the subject to be one of ab
sorbing interest; and believing that the use of spir
ituous liquors is without a parallel in the train of
evils consequent upon if, vve cannot deny onrselves
the pleasure of most cordially recommending to the
notice of the public generally, the efforts that are
now being made, to arrest its progress by the Reform
Association of Columbus. Very many of the most
estimable citizens of the city and county, have asso
ciated themselves together, to exert their united in
fluence against the degtadtng practice of drunken
ness ; and we earnestly recommend every good citi
zen to throw his weight into the scale, by adding has
name to the members of that Association.
The death of the Hon. John Forsyth, late Secreta
ry of State of the U. S. a citizen of Georgia, having
been announced during our sessions, we embrace
the occasion to express our sympathy with the citi
zens of the whole conntty genera Iv ; and with the
personal friends and relatives of the deceased in par
ticular. We feel assured that we express the senti
ments and feelings of the whole people, when vve
recognise in this dispensatioa of Providence, the loss 1
of one whose talents and public Services are equall
ed by few that are left behind him.
We present the suspension of specie payments by
the Banks of this city, as a public grievance; having
had ample testimony before us to prove that the sus- j
pension ha3 been alone for the benefit of the stock-j
holders, and that the several Banks would at any
time be able to meet their liabilities if their respec
tive stockholders would pay their dues. And we f.u
----! thdr recommend to the merchants and planters to re
i ceive nothing but specie or s-pecie funds, or notes of
! suspended Banks only at their specie value.
| Understanding that the lessees of the Race Track
| on the Commons of the city of Columbus, are willing
to give tp the lease aftdr paying for the time they
have had it: vve earnestly recommend the City Conu
cil of Columbus to receive it back, and to decline
any future lease of any part of the City Common for
such purposes.
If a patient, able, faithful, and impartial adminis
tration of the law during a sitting of five weeks, de
mand the thanks of the community, or the compli
ments of the Jury, then is his Honor Judge Wellborn
: entitled to both on the present occasion.
