GRAPE SHOT FROM
GRAND JURY.
A GENERAL SCORING UP
MATTERS.
...
INTERESTING PRESENTMENT — OF
FICIAL COPT.
Facta” Developed in the Caae
of Mra. Marshall.
We lay before our readers this morning
an official copy of the presentment ef the
Grand Jury of the Superior Court of
Chatham county for the February term.
The document is of unusual importance,
and contains many recommendations of
a wise and valuable character, and will be
read by our citizens generally with great
interest. It will be observed that the
jury have not wasted words in noticing
the various matters which have come to
their attention, but have struck boldly in
every case at the very root, and have ex
pressed themselves in regard to advisable
changes with vigor and force. The pre
sentment was read in Court yesterday
morning, and is as follows:
PEE8XNT1CENT8 OF THZ GRAND JUST, FEB-
BUABY TEEM, 1874. ,
Georgia—Chatham County:
At the close of our labors as Grand Jn-
rymen for the above term, we beg to pre
sent the following report. Our body, for
facilitating the investigation of the county
affairs was, as usual divided into several
committees, the result of whose labors is
embodied in the following:
COUNTY TBEASUBEE.
We find his books well kept and in ex
cellent order, and his accounts correct
and substantiated by proper vouchers.
We recommend to the County Commis
sioners that his office should be neatly
fitted up and suitably furnished.
OBDDJAEY.
His books are correctly and properly
kept. In connection with his other du
ties we would recommend that he keep a
record of births and deaths in the county,
with all such facts relating thereto os may
enable the gathering of such social statis
tics as are found valuable and interesting
in all civilized communities.
CLEEK SUPEBIOB COUBT.
We find his books in good order and
neatly kept, except certain records which
require rebinding. In connection with
this office we would recommend to the
County Commissioners that when the
finances of the county permits that an
enlargement of his office be piade, as the
space for storing records is inadequate
for present and prospective requirements.
Magistrate's dockets have been examined,
and, as far as we are enabled to judge,
found in accordance with the require
ments of the law.

healthy, with the exception of Mitchell
Cogswell (colored,) a lunatic, whose ease
we commend to the special attention of
the County Commissioners, as he requires
immediate attention. Also recommend
the purchase of fifty pairs of blankets for
the jail, there being eighty-five’prisoners
and only fifty pairs of serviceable blank
ets in that institution. We consid
er the jail unsafe and in every
way unfit for the purposes for which
it is used; and we desire to record
our protest against its use longer than is
necessary to construct a new one, which
we, in connection with many preceding
Grand Juries, do most earnestly recom
mend to be built; and we consider that the
present time is the most favorable to un
dertake the work; money necessary for its
construction can be had on more favorable
terms than at any period since the war,
and labor and material can be had cheap-
We also suggest, as a means of econ
omy and convenience, that it be located
on the lot south of the Police Barracks,
and arrangements be effected by which
police can serve as watchmen,
iners be conveyed with greater
ity to and from the Court House.
We consider the present Jail of Chatham
county a disgrace to the civilization of
the age and a shame to the humanity of
this community.
EOADS AND BBIDOES.
For the want of means to procure trans
portation, the Grand Jury have beei^eonD
pelled to neglect the investigation of the
most important county works.
EDUCATION. •
Our public schools we commend with
pride as furnishing a course of instruc
tion equal to that of any other institu
tions of learning of similar grade in this
country. The teachers are efficient and
' ‘s, scholars well behaved and pro
ficient in their studies. We have, in ac
cordance with the recommendation of the
Chairman of the Board of Trustees, set
apart thirty thousand dollars of the taxes
* for-county purposes for the sup
port of these schools, and we respectfully
suggest to the Trustees that singing and
dancing be added to the course of instruc
tion. •
COUNTS.
The administration of justice, we dis
cover, is attended with great expense,
much unnecessary delay and entails griev
ous wrongs upon the small number of
citizens upon whom the jury duty falls.
To remedy these evils we suggest the fol
lowing:
1st. To prevent delay—That the Judges
at the commencement of each term of the
Court assign each case to some particular
day and sound the case on that day only,
and all attorneys wishing to dispose of
their cases otherwise than by coming to
trial do so when the cases are being as
signed.
2d. To avoid unnecessary expense, that
the lawyers whose cases are not ready
for trial immediately on being sounded
be personally charged with the expense
of the' jury for the ~ time‘of the delay,
and if no other case is assigned for that
day, that the whole expense of the jury
for that day be collected from them; if
more than one case is assigned for the
day and not ready for trial then the ex
penses be apportioned pro rata on all **—'
cases in default; and to facilitate the
lection of these expenses, that no
entered on the docket until
bonds be delivered to the Clerk
Court by the attorneys on either side
amounts to cover the expense of the
for one day.
3d. Relief of jurymen—by repealing
each and every exemption and compelling
all to servo who are summoned, unless
physically incapable of doing so. That
fines and other compromises with justice
to avoid the personal enjoyment of this
franchise be dispensed with, andnthJ"
Court’s motto be Jury or Jail.
JUBYMEN.
We would direct Bpeoial attention to
the comparatively small number oi citi
zens who do jury duty. The parties
upon whom tiffs duty principally falls-
are the least able to lose the time from
their business, especially when we take,
into consideration the fact that one and
a half dollars or two dollars per day is
considered by the County Commissioners
a sufficient compensation. The ex-,
emptions by law foot up nearly dne:
fourth of the jury list, and when we add
thereto those who are exempted by
“courtesy,” the remainder who are to
serve is comparatively small Sixty men
are exempted to each fire company, forty
to a hose company, and several military
companies their entire membership is
exempt. It is a well known fact that
the parties whd obtain these exemptions
in the fire companies (by paying $35 per.
annum) are not the men who do the fire
duty, but are those of our citizens who
B
nor. Hence it is that we recommend the
entire abolition of each and evi
emption. ■
FINES AND FORFEITURES.
We would call attention to the fact that
the fines imposed for non-performance of
jury duty have not been collected for
years (not even one fine.) Executions are
issued against the - delinquents, brought
before the Judge, and—excused. Were
those fines collected, they would amount
to a sufficient sum to pay the per diem of
those who do serve. 3
We therefore urgently request His
Honor, Judge Schley, to exercise more
stringency in receiving excuses from
jurors for non-performance of this service
and to force the collection of fines.
We also beg that His Honor will rigidly
enforce in future a prompt and business-
like discharge of duty by the bar and all
officers of the Court, as thereby much in
convenience and injury to the interest of
suitors and jurors will be avoided—the
kindness and leniency of His Honor hav
ing been greatly abused heretofore.
We recommend that these fines and
forfeitures be set aside asaGrandJuiy
fund, to enable this grand inquest to
move untrammelled by any petty court or
inferior body, and carry out fully the ob-
the county, regardless of the dictation of
any other body of men.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
As the duties of the Grand Jury and
this body conflict, we would suggest that
the Commissioners' duties be assigned in
detail by the next Legislature, if it can
not be done prior to that time.
THE POOR.
Charity in its most liberal sense we
commend; and as the past year has been
a very disastrous one, and work difficult
to obtain, much suffering is the conse
quence ; and we therefore urge the Com
missioners to expend in relieving the de
serving poor liberally, and, with this
object in view, we levy an additional tax
of two thousand dollars, to be pdded to
the amount of three thousand suggested
by them, making in all five thousand
dollars for this purpose.
POLES.
In our opinion, additional balloting
stations should be established. The
number and location we commend to the
judgment of the County Commissioners.
GAMBLING AND CABBYTNG
WEAPONS.
In itself the law is practii
tive and almost a dead letter. The
lie have a right to look to the detective
and police force in such matters, and we
severely condemn the laxity of vigilance
which has characterized these officials in
this matter, and we would recommend
that these officials be compelled to pre
sent all parties on whom they find weapons
concealed. And when they have reason
to suspect gambling to be carried on that
they be required to enter the premises
and arrest the parties present We also
condemn the practice of issuing licenses
by county, city or State to perpetnate
gambling establishments, such as dollar
stores, prize candy venders, picture deal
ers, where dice ftS&rpwn for a choice or
any Gambling mode is adopted to dispose

The readers of the Mobnixg News will
recollect that in our proceedings of the
meeting of Council on Wednesday, it was
stated that the motion of Alderman Sorrel
to have read the minutes of an informal
-held on 19th of January, had re
ed in a lively debate, and after being
put to avote, that the ayes and noes were
called, there thus being evidenced con
siderable feeling in the matter. The mo
tion was carried, however, and the pro-
ordered to be published, and as
has been manifested to
know what action the Board did take we
present below the extract that was read:

by the aforesaid individuals themselves
by direct appeal or through benevolently
sran
form it; The" proportion of drones, to
workers in this community is not equal
ized, and the drones are getting larger in
numbers rapidly. They come and are
sent ont from other communities to make
a living. For all such we propose to
establish a work-house, which can at
least be made self sustaining, if not
source of revenue to the county. The
first cost of such an institution would be
felt lesaBirtibtox-fcyfcisof this county
Iflie toSXfor
whom we propose to provide. This work
house might partake of the character of a
reformatory school but the subject can
be elaborated by the County Commission
ers. In connection with the recent action
of the Managers of the Poor House and
Hospital tendering that institution to the
city under certain conditions, we would
suggest this as a most favorable time to
a successful andlspeedjr accomplishment.
A work-house-would relieve the jail of
large class of offenders who are not
suitable subjects for the chain gang.
It would-prove a valuable adjunct to
the Recorder’s and City Courts. It would
be a terror,to evil .doers, and we believe

being paid commensurate wim the re
sponsibilities of their offices, and just
compensation for the talents brought into
requisition, yet we do not think it just
that such services should demand or re
ceive from the county more than would
be paid for similar service by individuals
or corporations. -We find that some of
the officers of the county ore receiving,
in our opinion, excessive pay, salaries
to the emoluments of these officers, and
we urgently recommend to the County
Commissioners to investigate this subject
and to take such steps as will ensure the
correction of this evil by the next Legis
lature. Some of the county offices be-
ould suggest the

THE;<USR OF MBS. MAllY lflumiTT
Duringthe present service the attention
of the Grand Jury was called to the con
dition of Mrs. Mary Marshall an aged,
wealthy and respectable lady of this
community.
After a long, patient and thorough ex
amination of aU the testimony bearing
upon this Object which could be reach
ed, we‘ feel itour duty thus publicly to
say; that the testimony has developed the
ural, cruel and inhuman treatment by
those whose duty it was to cherish and
protect her; and that, in addition to the
burden of years, she has been compelled
to'bear a burden, of sorrow and trouble
the full exhibition of which we do not feel
called upon to exhibit more folly in these
.presentments. 7 1 * ** ' * ~ J
been I nown to her relatives, who, we
regret to g#y, h*ve made but little, if
any effort,*to alleviate her condition.
For reasons satisfactory to the Grand
Jury we have thought proper to decline
to present this matter in adifferent shape.
But as we are satisfied that Mrs. Marshall,
by reason of the malign influences by
which sheffs controlled, is not in a fit con-
ditidn Urge (and Trainable
property, which is being wasted and is in
danger of being alienated. We
do earnestly recommend that prompt
and effective steps be taken for
her release and protection; and
to this end, as the Solicitor General of
this Court is familiar with all of- the facts
which have come to our knowledge, we
do recommend and reqnest that he pro
ceed, after legal notice to the next of km to
Mrs. Marshall, by petition to the Ordinary
of this oounty, for a jury to inquire into
her present condition and surroundings,
to the end that a guardian of capacity and
integrity may be appointed to take charge
of her property and business.
In conclusion, we beg to thank His
Honor, Judge Schley, for the able charge
to our body, in which * he so dearly de
fined our dntie8;i the Solicitor General
for his many courteous attentions and
valuable legal assistance.
