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. | aHSatiaa; activity, er.ef|v, and politeof ‘the Solicitor General and Solicitor General pro teffij entitl: those officers a'sj, to our highest approbation.
