THE CRANO JURY, &o.
In t.h }r last sittinrr l.ivo r.
ed some improvements- t a- inst .nee
they recommend that the jail,
which is uhcafy undergoing repairs
i>c male timre substantial by dmb-
Jng th.; flour and grate’. Tlt-y
give the clerk a Intlc rap about de
linrpt. my. Well, they are right
about that if their remarks are alto
gether applicable. We do not join
issue with thing as fa. as intention
t > be peifect'y just is concerned.
lb re is no specific law though, that
loqu res the Cieik to re ord Wtics.
It lias been the custom in o;r eoun
tv, and the gqitorql allusion by the
law to the Superior Court being a
e >urt of record, r, fen of co ,rse°to
the immediate minutes The Cieik
does not deny we presume, that it is
Ids duty to do this wotk, but per
bttpt does not tecl such to be at all,
an immediate n cesdty, as the wiits
alter judgement are on file in his of
fice, subject at all times to public
jnspi ction. As !o the book of deed-,
reference is never made to it only
through the Clerk, and as he never
l as any difficulty in filing „ nv
deed recorded, at any time ,|e»irej
it is more than prohable that
i ha indexing was left ofl, eptd the
finishing up of the book, as a ma ter
of personal convenience, lather than
neglect. Licit deed too, bears on
ns face the page mi whi, hi t i s tran
fenbed, with the dale of such record,
which would obviate any delay by
an iDt.restpd outsider, even if-ucb
an one had arc ss to tlie books in
the absence of the Clerk— which is
not, nor canne tbe the case. How.,
ever we doubt not he is gratified f n
know exactly what they expect of
hitn in 1 is n.'fie.c. and as ibry are the
legitimate guardians of the county
their suggesiions we suppose will
be reegt ized and regarded as im
perative, and binding. They com
p'ain of the Collector—vve are told
by t'te Collector that in a g.. ; ,t many
instances Constables I nve failed to
make the morey on the (1. fas p'aced
in their hands, and to cj.ir fitly- these
papers when they are served with
euceess, or if n if, a <1 a failure is
made on the part ol theuffieer to col
Icct said fi fas., in either case he
says tlmt a harrjssing and, lay often
occurs in the returning of said pa
pers to him. ’J'liere are a g„ 0 ,l
many Constables in the county, and
we have teason to believe that but
few of them are bonded officers.—
If they are not, then they are not
legal officers and cannot be held
strictly responsible for failure to per
form official duty, nor a-e their acts
bin ding in legal way, their ar»
r sts, neither their levies. It seeim
To us that tite better plan wou'd be
lor the Sheriff - , or tiis authoiized
deputy to have those papers to serve.
It is of the utmost importance that
such matters should be placed in the
hands of men that kuow their duty,
and are sworn to do it. We suppose
the fractions that the Grand Jury
could pot reconcile, arose from the
absence of a succinct r-p o rt from the
Collector. It our recollection serves
vs corrt ctly, lie made a report, or
rather a', an examination of books by
Mr. F A Sitiquegehl and Mr. John G
Jordan of recent date, [fis explana
tion (o them of seeming deficits were
tbor 'Ugh, and satisfactory. We
heartily agree with their action in
reg.oil to the salary of the Judge of
the County Court, pa ticululy as
to the manner of is payment. We
think though, they have given him
htt/e enough. Tut; recomenda ion
in^ regard to a Sobcicitor, we doubt
nut wi l meet the approbate nos the
public, lor Mr. It.L. Gamble, Jr., isa
rising young man that deserves the
preferment they have favored him
with. The chain grog is an eye
sore, but vve trust a public good.—
All good citizens deplore tb it such
humiliation should become a neces
sity in any place, or that labor
should assume any such deformed
aspect, even where it is a ltbor
brought about as the legitimate re,-
suit of crime.
Hut so it is.
It is to be regreted that such uns
warrantable delay of payment ha
occurred in reflorertce to amounts
due by Glasscock and Burke—more
particularly Glasscock, because
owning the larger sum, and having
been indebted a longer space of time.
Why it is near two years since that
trial of Kitchens came off. and vve
have waned, and often reques'ed
and sent ceitified copies ot post,
and yet vve are to day without it.—
Such things teach us an experience
that if heeded will lip profitable.—
It is simply to have so me better and
more thoroughly defined under
standing, or else collect the money
necessa y fir such exigencies before
vve enter into their adjustment, or
repair, as the case any be,
'I lie relations existing between
adjoining counties, should boos the
happiest nature yet such damaging
d'lays in matters ol importance will
ceitainly be productive of no great
n'i,u....c oi Harmony and cofidence
We don’t know exactly who is tho
d• linquent, and who is at fault, but
it is certaily with some of the oflic rs
of Glasscock.
Wc are gratified that this body has
ra’sed their voice against liquor
drinking and against liquour tradio
ing. Ii isa great evil, and we trust
sincerely that it may bo hunted
d'wn. and hunted out of the land,
even from its hidi-g place among
th- rocks and the hill countries 'hat
it may be rutted and utterly anni
hilated. B ing down, ihe local op
tion law upon sis head, and cru-h
out iis poisoned fife.
But one other point. llow is it
that jury scrips and orders to county
officeis (jury scrips pariicularlly for
officers accounts lor services arc
sometimes cashed) are not taken up
especially at ibis time of the year ?
Is there no money in the Tieasurer’s
hands for jurors never? They have
their board to pay before they leave
town and that of their horses.
Their scrips calls two dol
lars a day. ft. is eventually
paid out of the 'Treas
ury. The inert tins scrip is given to
have to trade it at ti rfispnuiit to get
ginds vviilt it even. Does not the
Treasurer’s report show that he has
money enough in Ins hands to pay
these cl aims V In all justice it ought
to he done.
CAREER OF HON. B. H. HILL.
A corr spond nt ol the Savannah
Advertiser g vns the foil .wing in
teresting sketch ot the new Georgia
Congressman :
Mr. Hill s whole life has been in
tensely tnelo-dramatie. I Inis been
irresistibly so. The man is a natu
ral born actor. He is fiery, eloctri"
eul, tragic lie is measureles ly ego
tistical and marvelously gilfe L The
combination of conceit and genius,
with irrepressible audacity and an
imp l riil ambit on, lets driven the
getrlema.it as nuu aly to political
meJo-drarna, as a duck trots to
water.
In looking over Hilt’s career—and
f must confess that I Inve watch-d
it vviilt a zealous curiosity that has
sunny sought to be critical— l have
reluctantly come to the conclusion
that, sc tar. th; general summary of
fiis pttlric life has been a fadure.
While hi* has undeniable genius of
thought ami eloquence both, while
his politic I views have been power
fully ing- ni it--,yet up to this lime he
has, under the plausible semblance
of statesmanship lacked its sub
stance.
I wish to distinctly asseverate one
resolute truth in this critfi is n upon
Mr. Hill, and tiffs, thtv lam not his
I enemy, and my estimate of him is
not prompted by personal dislike ot
political hostility.
1 think him by long odds the most
intellectual gifted public man in the
South, and the unsafest public learK
,er. His mind is brilliant and origi
nal, and his oratory is brazing and
electric. He is a strong thinker, a
powerful debater,a royal writer and
a honied orator. He poss“sses that
rare combination, a clear, logical
brain and an imagination .of fiery
heat. He is a3 capable of a contin
uous effort of cold intellect as any
admitted thinker of his age, while be
has vvith'n his same potential capac
ity the splendid power of imaginative
effort to a degree not equalled by
any orator, North or §ou h.
But Mr. Hill has in his public ca
reer displayed a lack of judgment.
He has not been wise. He lias not
proved a sagacious, cool-headed
counsellor. He has been passionate
and visionary when reason and con
trol were reqi/ired. He has made
blunders so glaring that he lias had
to weary public patience with their
explanation. No public man of the
day has spent so much time in per
sonal defence as Mr. Ilill. The la-t
four years of his lire have been a con
tinuous schedule ofpersonal remon
strance on his part against what he
claimed was a public injustice and a
popular misunderstanding of a mat
ter involving Ins political inconsis
tency and integrity.
As conspicuous instances of Mr.
Hill’s po'itical blundering, I may
mention his pernicious advice to the
people of Georgia to Jake no pact in
the famous convention campaign of
I$G7-’GS, when the Radical parly
thereby obtained control of Georgia,
and moulded the organic laws of the
Sta e and seated the Bullock dynas y
in plundering authority. 1 may also
mention that other glaring blunder,
when just before tne election that
resulted in the choice of a Demo
cratic Legislature and the overthrow
of the Bullock regime, Mr. Hill was
in seeming coalition with'the regime
that he bad “o inventively denounc,
ed, and ut'ering doubtful sentiments
of Democratic fealty. The sudden
and stunning dethronem nt of Mr.
Hill Irotn his unbounded popularity,
constitutes one of the most roman
tic ep s ides in his melo-dramatic ca
reer. The fall would have mushed
most men. Mr. Hill's slow rise has
not been Ess romantic, aid signal
izes the indomitab'e eias icily ami
perennial brilliancy of his intellect
ual powers.
Snubbed and defeated again and
again, Mr. Hill’s restleia ambition
aid marvellous capacities have kept
him before the pub fi-, until in this
last Congressional race in the Ninth
District l;e has achieved the most
extraordinary political victory of the
day, and he, at the manured age of
fifty years, in the very meifilian of
bis vigor of mind and body, and in
iHe s iber maturity of his judgment,
find the cherished desire of his life
gratified under circumstances exerp
tionally complimentary. The cir
cumstances ot his election have been
in the habitual me o-dramat c cur
rent of his experience. The legal
doubt assailing his candidacy, the
volcanic zeal of his friends, the fierce
antagonisms of the conte.-t, tile pro
tracted battle of the convention end
ing in the r< mission of the matter to
popular will the novel nature of the
final competition, tffe bitter aggres
siveness of the campaign, and, final
ly the ovcrwhefmmng triumph of
Mr. Hill by a popular vote, amazing
his most sanguine friends by its un
expected magnitude, all make the
success a most highly-colored pic
ture of political romance. His ma
jority over Esies was -3,3G0, over
Brice 5,100, anj over both 2, ISO.
On a direct appeal to the people he
distanced botn competitors, and goes
into C ingress upon a tt si crucial to
conclusivcness, and by an endorse
ment unsurpassed in political annals.
