his ditch is cf no earthly use except to protect his

should be filled up again, I will add down to Mr.

i*v conceive it would be good policy on the part of the

■ •’their position and morals, and would to a certain ex

PRESENTMENTS OF THE GRAND JURY.
PANEL No. 1.
‘*' r E, Ihe Grand Jury, chosen and sworn for the
\\ February Term of the Superior Court of Mon
roe county, beg leave to make the following Present
ments :
55’e have examined, by committee appointed for that
purpose, our public buildings, aud recommend to the
proper authorities that the wiudows of the Jail of our
county undergo some repairs. Wo find, upon examina
tion, that the books and public documents, in the offices
of public record*, are kept in superior style, iu such a
manner as reflects credit upon the respective officers
having them in charge.
Wo have examined, by committee, the books of onr
former County Treasurer, O. Morse, and find lliem kept
in good order, with corresponding voucher* for the ex
penditure of all moneys appropr aied and paid out. and
a surplus iu the treasury of $3 405£. We also recom
mend to the Honorable Superior Court, that the Couuty
Tax be extended to the greatest possible limit, for the
purpose of paying off the indebtedness of our county.
We also take pleasure in stating that we have exam
ined flic returns of the late October and January elec
tions, and find no violation of existing laws, controlling
such elections, either in voting or otherwise. The
Ordinary of the county laid before our body a state
meat of the Boor School F’und, for tbe year 1853—his
receipts and his credits, which show that the asses--
meut for the preceding year was barely sufficient to pay
for the teaching of the children in the county entitled
to the benefit of that fund. That officer recommends,
therefore, that 15 per cent, be assessed on the amount
of State Tax of this county, to raise a Poor School
fund for the present year. We therefore, recommend,
that 1 5 per cent, be assessed on the amount of State
Tax. for the purpose of Poor School Education. We
feel it to l>e a duty incumbent upon us—a duty which
we owe. not only to the poor children of onr comity,
but one which we owe to society, to provide for the
education of those poor children amongst us, who by
adverse circumstances, misfortune, or otherwise, are
deprived of this inestimable boon. It is to our schools,
academies, colleges and universities, that we are to
look for the permanency of our civil and religious in
stitutions. Let the people—the whole people—be edu
cated, and we shall have nothing to fear tor the future
of this glorious, this matchless Republic. No two
principles are more antagonistic in their nature than
Knowledge und despotism; where the former dwells
the latter cannot exist.
Tbe public Roads o our countv, and especially those
leading North and South ftom this place, are in such
condition as to reflect discredit upon our county, aud
more particularly upon those who have the authority
to enforce the (aw as it now exists, for keeping our
public highways in good order. We do hope, there
fore, that those who nave the authority to enforce com
pliance with the law for keeping up public roads, will
he inflexible in the discharge ot (heir duties.
We recommend to thePugistraies of the respective
Militia Districts, the great necessity of carrying out, to
ihe letter, the law regula'ing the patrol system. We
believe, however, from experience, that that law, as it
now exists, is deficient in its opereution. We, there
fore, recommend the greater vigilance on the part of
all good aud orderly cilueus, iu enforcing the law a* it
exists.
I VV e also recommend vigilance on the part of o".r
i comity nun, in regard to the present practise of fur
t ibhing our negroes with spirituous liquors, nntwiih
. landing the existing laws now in thrw in regard to
i 1 has matter. We know that oar staves dc pet liquor—
’ ’e see it with them, and the effects of it upon them.
‘he great and paramount question, therefore, with us
j II should he, who furnishes them with it ? Time and
J t tent ion to this matter, on the part of onr citizens,
night be the means of accomplishing much g<od, and
. verting much evil; for it is verv certain that the use
j • f spirituous liquor among that part of our population
< ruinous to their health and morals, and much depre
t iates their value and usefulness.
We ret nrn our thanks to his Honor, Judge Warner,
ir the able manner in which he lias discharged the
uties of the bench during the present week, and for
is courteous demeanor to this body,
i We also return our sincere thanks to Col. Thrasher,
olicitor General, for the faithful discharge of his dutv,
nd for his polite attention to our body during the pre
ent week.
We recommend that these Presentments he published
i the Macon Journal and J ftssenger and Macon Tele~

.
PANEL NO. 2.
We, the Grand Jurors, chosen and sworn for the
! cond week of February Term of Monroe Superior
| ourt, respectfully submit the following General vre
j mtments :
! The recommedations made by the Grand Jury, Panel
o. 1 of the present Term, in relation toour county Jail,
ic public roads, the patrol laws, and the practice of fur
isliing slaves with ardent spirits, meet with our hearty
iprobation. The had condition of our higli ways has
ng been a reproach to our county, and never was that
iptoacli more justly deserved than at the present time;
nr road laws have been shamefully neglected, until our
ighways have become almost impassible, and yet,
lose whose duty it is to enforce the laws and repair
ic roads, arc suffered to continue with impunity, tneir
eglect and failure of duty in spite of the repeated Pre
■ntments made by the Grand Juries of this county,—
Je therefore, once again urgently recommend that the
roper authorities see to it—that theroad laws are rigid
enforced until our highways are no longer a reproach
i the county.
We have not examined the public records, nr the
unity Treasurers books, as the General Presentments
iade by our predecessors in this respect, rendered it in
ic opinion of this body entirely unnecessary
We have every reason to believe that our Tax Collec
>r fur, and during the year last past, has used every
roper means to discharge the duties of his office, nnd
et, after liis best efforts, he has failed to collect the
tx to the amount of £2l 43cents. Wc therefore re
imtnend that the sum of £2l cents, the amount
this insolvent list be allowed that officer. The snmll
ess of the insolvent list, when compared with the targe
notint of taxes raised in this county, is very sntisfaeto
and this result we believe, is in a great degree ow
ig to the untiring zeal cf our accomplished Tax Co!-
e.tor. In regard to this officer, the county may, with
• eat justice say, “well done tliou good and faithful ser
in t.
There is one subject to which we desire to call the
mst earnest attention, and the most serious rellection
f the community. It is u subject on which the Chris
an nnd Patriot deiight to ponder—a subject that well
.■serves the united efforts of men of all political parties,
id of all relions sects. We mean the duty incumbent
pon us ns moral agents, and the necessity imposed
pon us as Republican citizens, to spare something
it of our abundance for the purpose of educating the
ior of our county, so as to qualify them to understand
■c pure doctrines of the Christian religion and ihe great
rinciples of Republican Government. Living as we
| iin this ago, and under a Republican Government,
icre surely ought to be no difference of opinion as to
ir duty in this respect—our duty as Christians, to
■lp the needy, is denied by none, and the necessity for
■'S fas citizens if we would preserve our country free,")
■ implant in the youthful mind, the seeds of virtueand
lowledge is equally undeniable. Education, Christi
lity, and Freedom, are mutually deoendent on each
her; when they exist together, each displays its great
t perfection.
Georgia, we regret to say, has been remiss in her
ify to her indigent children. The Grand Juries of
! iis county and of many other counties in the State,
ive again and again urgently pressed tin’s subject on
; ie attention of the people. “ Conventions have been
l lied for the purpose of discussing the subject, nnd of
Ivising ways and means to secure to the poor the
■nefit of a common education. Though we fear these
| ’inventions have made no impression on the T.egisla
| no, yet they have brought to light, facts which can
it be easily forgotten. It has been shown that the
i nail pittance so reluctantly doled out bv the Legisla
! ire. as a poor school fund, is entirely insufficient tnef
| ct the desired end. It has been shown, that if the
| >or school fund of this State were properly distributed
nongst all the children who are proper recipients, the
! erage would be about fifty cents per year for the edn
| tion of each poor child. Scarcely a teacher is paid
! s regular charges, although he is put to unusual and
! meccssary trouble. Owing to this failure on the part
the State to pay well and promptly for the tuition of
I e poor, both parents and children are reluctant to ac
i pt the Stages penurious bounty, and Teachers feeling
emselves inadequately paid for their labor, are cither
gligent of (heir duties towards these poor children, or
holy refuse to admit them into their schools. Thus
e great object is left unaccomplished, owing first and
ainl v to the inadequacy of the means provided bv Ilie
ate, and secondly, to the reluctance oft Vie poor to
ail themselves of those means, because of the many
ortifving and embarrassing circumstances attendant
ion their accent a nee of them. Our Legislature has
! led statute upon top of statute, in reference to this
! bjeet. But nearly nil of these laws were temporary
their provisions, or they have been repealed, or the
I urces from which the funds provided were expected
flow, have entirely foiled. So that at present, the
i dy provisions for the education of the poor, are mnde
| ’ the statutes of 1343 nnd 1851, and as we have before
ifed, the fund set apart by these statutes when oon
j lered in reference to the object proposed to be accom
, ishedbv it, is ridiculously small. The groat and radi
-1 error in all our laws, has been a want of a good con - -
1 on school system—a resort to temporary and hasty
pedients, and a reliance upon unstable and iuade
j late funds. And this is doubtless to he attributed to
! i affected and unreasonable fear on the pr.rt of our law
akers, that the dear people would not submit lobe
ved uniformity for this purpose. But this is a mis
ke. In this age we are all well convinced, that school
uses are much cheaper than Jails, Court houses, and
mitentiaries. The fault does not lie with the people,
it with the Legislature. The people have long been
lling to be taxed for theedneation of the poor. They
•ow full well, it would result in the common security
■d general welfare of the whole community. But our
v makers of the present day, from want of wisdom to
derstand the best interest of the commonwealth, or
| >m want of sufficient independence to discharge their
■ar nnd manifest duty in this behalf, have constantly
glided the subject by such enactments, as would, in
■ least degree relieve their c< ns.deuces without err.-
rrnssing them with their constituents. We are at a
<s to know which has proved the greatest curse to
■orgia for many years past—whether it be the igno
ice of our Legislators—their want of rectitude and
briety—or their culpable want of suffioent moral
urnge to discharge wluit they know to be their plain
and bonnden duty. Let us see to it, that our Legisla
re be composed of men intelligent, virtuous, and fear
•s in the discharge of their duty—men who will not
rink from any and cvety question of the least possi
-1 importance, through fear of losing a little personal
pularity in their own immediate vicinity. I.et us do
is, and the Empire State of the South will no longer
. - disgraced by a heterogeneous mass of statutes that
ve neither force nor meaning, aud the illiterate poor
the State will soon be relieved from the insulting of
-, by this wealthy and ptosperons State, to pav them
ty cents a year for their instruction in the rudiments
• an education We therefore most heartily concur
tli Panel No. 1, in recommending the Ordinary of
is county, to levy such a tax as muv amply defray the
• pense of Ihe tuition of each poor child in the county,
- said tax being at least 15 per cent on the amount of
ate tax raised in the county.
To his Honor, Judge Warner, wc tender our respects
• the able and dignified manner, in which he has dis
arged the duties of the bench, and also lor his kiud
i ss to our body.
We also return our thanks to Col. Thrasher, Solicitor
■neral, for the faithful and satisfactory discharge of
? ditties of his office, nnd for his courtesy to this bod v.
We recommend that these Presentments be published
