We have isons to believe that under its present manage- mt, notwithstanding the heavy loss by fire, the Jtor of the convicts will, during the current year, fceve the State from any loss. With proper and }il directed legislation, and good internal police economy, the system will soon recommend it- 'again, to public favor. 'he objection of expense, even under the losing |em, is not well founded. We must look to re ive, and not to actual expenditure. What will Feost the counties in the aggregate to punish ali Icir convicts ? Let it be remembered, that the Iss to the counties is an entire clear loss. At some iture time, we shall take up the subject of the |>st to the counties separately. And we may safe- pledge ourselves, that the burthen can be shewn he much more onerous than under the peniten- |arv mode. In truth, this burthen was often used 2fore the courts, and considered by them as a La son, why men confined in county jails should be [leased from confinement for tlie lesser offences, /en while the penitentiary system was in opera- )n. THE MANDAMUS.—This case, instituted a respectable and worthy citizen, of the county if Houston, against the Surveyor General, lias uietly passed otf, after argument in Chambers, in linton. We should rejoice in the prosperty of fiv. Moore : but on this occasion, we are gratified seeintr the Surveyor General sustained in his ^interested and benevolent attempt to preserve ie rights of an absent man; of a man who, it now jpears, was detained from the scat of govorn- Ecnt, bv a severe and inevitable misfortune. We Ibjoin a report of the case. BEFORE JUDGES STRONG AND LAMAR. JOHN M. MOORE, ) v . >Maxdamas. iOHN BETHUNE, Suit'or. Gen. > dr. Moore had been dee ed a district Surveyor!)-, county of Houston—and the'object of his applica- 11 to the court for a Mandamus, was to compcil Ok irveyor General to issue to him instructions to surv. 18\h district—3d section. The facts disclosed b;. _ return of the Surveyor General, were, that on tin I April ninety five Surveyors were present, Mr. Moore nong the number—and Mr. Harford a Surveyor fi on •lntosh, only absent. Thai of Mr. Harfords election, id of his progress to Miliedgeville, the Survovor Go >ral had beeiT apprised—That without any objection in the Surveyors present, he the Surveyor Genera it Mr. Hurfonls name with the others in the hat, an, ceeued to draw them out, to determine the order ,i ces —That Mr. Harford's name was the eleven id Mr. Moore’s name the ninety-fifth that was draw -That ou the third of April, while the ninety-five Pi lyors including Mr. Moore, were in the Representa- chambcr, for the purpose of making their respt ye choices, he, the Surveyor General, was sent i< some one of tiie Surveyors, and requested by the.., |o objection I eng made by anyone) to make choice Mr. Harford—that when number eleven was caii tne yor General chose lor Mr. Ha-ford disti -3d section ; and when Mr. Moore's number 95 w : tiled, all the others having previously made their choices the order of their numbers, he chose also district 1" action, ail edging it to be legally vacant.—in ace urn the absence of Mr. Harford. The counsel for ih* rveyor General made two points for the consideration 1 the court, viz: That that court had no authority : i-t a Mandamus to the Surveyor General, he being iclied to the Executive Department. 2. That 1\! pore had another remedy—by application to tlieEx- BJtive for redress, the Chief Magistrate liavinga supci- sory control over the Surveyor General under rue -v concerning the survey of the Cherokee territory. These points were overruled by the court. They then contended, that the silence of Mr. Moo id his tasit consent when the Surveyor General was ■quested to make choice for Mr. Harford were decisiv* It tlie questions, and lie could not now assert a rich liich he had thus voluntarily relinquished, far. On the other side it was contended that the silence i klr. Moore did not preclude him from asserting liisrights jv:—that the district was legally vacant—that the yor General had no authority to choose for an a - rot surveyor, &c. The c )urt, after consideration of the various argu- icnts, determined that the silent, acquiescence of Mr. lore, precluded him fn mi the It refit of the limit If he had intended to have contested the right of Mr. Bothunn to choo.-re for Mr. Harford, he should have man- bated his dissent at the time the choice was made—ami a hired that tlie Mandamus lie dismissed.

While there, one of the plough horses became unruly and attempted to run away, and lie took hold of the plough and line for the purpose of driving him. The horse became more ungovernable, while Mackey grasped the line more firmly in his hand, arid made an attempt fn go to tlie horse’s head, in order if- take hold of tlie bridle to prevent his running: the horse county, when sitting for ordinary purposes, for leave ir iade a sudden spring in a different direction, and brought sell all the land belonging to the Minor heirs of John lackey down with his head against a small stump with I Blackburn dec’d.

T HE Grand Jury in discharging what they believe to be their dptv, do highly approve cf the contem- piated Convtnnon llv altering the Constitution of this Suite, so faras it relates to the diminution of the numbei of Representatives by increasing the ratio of Represen tation. and recommend tlie appointment, or election of Delegate-; from this county to attend the said Convention, o be held in Miliedgeville on the first Monday in June next. The Grand Jury regret that in constituting tin - upreme and Federal Courts of the U. States the con- iiution and laws establishing tlie same, are so indefi nite as to give colour to the power of appellatejurisdic- ■ n which their courts .suppose they have in cases be- onging entirely to the Superior Court of the State. The Grand jury recommend to the Legislature of this Suite, the propriety and great necessity of the formation f a Court of Errors and appeals, so that the law and administra i n of justice may be the same theughout the '-hate ; and further recommend the alternation of tin Judges of the Superior courts of this State. The Grand Jury regret the abolition of the Peniten tiary System of this State, and tlie consequent introduc tion of a Penal Code—that, we cannot but consider to be that of rather a barbarous and unenlightened age as a grievance—Therefore, tlie revival of the systenijof the ■’enitentiary punishment the grand jury led to be their bounden duty to recommend to the next Legislature, as it is the opinion of this body that it more directly corres ponds with the genuine and enlightened character of the people of this State, and also hope that our next Repre- -entatives from this county will use their best exert fans :.>r the lt-estnbibhmtnt of the same. The.Grand Jury request so much cf their present ments as arc of a public nature to be published in the • jeorgia Journal and Federal Union. WAID H. TURNER. Foreman. John Murray, Henry V. Pope, IFin.

JOHN JONES. DeKalb count}-, May 3, JS32. 43—3t GEORGIA—Jones county. W E the Grand Jurors, chosen for the county of Jones at tlie April term, 1332, do make the fol lowing presentments. We have examined the b;y ks of the county Treasur er, and the Clerk of the Inferior Court, and we find them to be kept in good ai der. In looking abroad at the general concerns of this con- federated Republic, we feci that we should commit a de- reiiction of duty, not to make some allusion to the un wise, unjust, anil as we fully believe, the unconstitution al system of taxation, to which we are now subjected b\ our General Government for the legitimate purpose ot raising a revenue to meet its necessary expenditures.— We believe thatour venerable President (having succced- d in shutting up the waste gate of Internal Improve ment, by the General Government, in and through his memorable Maysvillc road bill veto) will have paid of! »ur entire national debt by tlie ck.se of the current year —a debt the burthen of two wars for liberty, in the la^: of which some of us were actors. We see that by the ■une unrighteous system of duties, a revenue of nca. hirty millions of dollars per annum is drawn from the i.'ckot of tiie people, and that less than twelve millions vill in future meet all the just expenditures of our gor- rnment. We have been told that modification and eon- •ession would be extended to us by the tariff or taxing .tajority ; then what should be our astonishment and •hug: in’to see the late insulting proposition of Mr. Sena- >r Clay, reechoed by the eonnnittee on manufactures h e bill recently reported by that body, to admit free of a! luty, certain foreign luxuries therein named, which, with ne single exception, (coffee) are consumed only by th< wealthy of our land—articles which many of this bod} ave rarely heard of, some of them a part of us have actually never seen. This bill, reported too, after tlx- Chairman of that committee had said in allusion to Mr. Clay’s before named proposition, that it kept the word of iromi.se to the ear but denied it to the sense. We may naturally enquire, will this be done ? Will a govern ment of known specified and limited powers—a govu.-n- •icnl emanating from the people, say to tlie independen v-eonmnry of tlie land, you must pay a tax on you. sugar, salt, iron, cotton bagging, cotton and woolen go: ids. :emp, wool, glassware—in fact on all tlie articles which ou consume— a ! ax we repeat, from sixty-five to twt hundred and twenty two per centum ? and for what? That a few w\a t y holders of stock in manufacturing companies, owners i f beds of iron ore, and sugar plan tations, may increase their already bloated fortune ?— And has it come to this ? Shall the deccndantsof men who resisted, and successfully resisted the most formida ble power in the world, for a pitiful three penny tax on ‘ea, be subjected to these enormous burdens? and wi they bear them ? Will they much longer submit to this system of legal robbery ? we believe not, we say this for "he purpose of lotting our fallow citizens and fellow su:- ferers oft; is state and of our sister States ki © v, that tie foint has nearly arrived at which relief must be grantee. The grand jury cannot take leave of the services ol the present term, without adverting for a moment, to two subjects of general interest-topics which have recently occupied the attention of tiie public. They are, first: the change introduced by t lie lust general assembly in tlie punishment cf crimes ; and secondly, the reducrioi of our representatives in that assembly. In looking loi he causes that led to the abolition of Pcmtenliary con finement, we have been indiu ed to believe that the most pc rat ive is found to exist in the opinion which many en- ertained, that the will of the people called for it. Wc doubt whether that opinion was just ; but whether jo- r unjust, we are convinced that mature reflection and enquiry will clearly shew that the public will now de mands a restoration of the Penitentiary system. We an but view it as a retrograde movement in tlie legisb- uonof the country, which reflects upon the liberal, hu mane, and enlightened policy of this age of improve ment. The truth of this remark will be strongly illu-.- rated by the exhibition of cur penal code in its preseni confined and disjointed condition. Not only private Citizens, but even the court, it is believed, is sensible-o> iie'difficulty of ascertaining vv iih fact lily and prccisii the punishment at present awarded to each particular •Hence. To determine this, recourse must Le had to tin nglish common and stat ute 1 iw, adopted in this country, from the necessity of the case more than fortv years aeo; aeprevraono—,i, r , r , inr tjvm tlie private Citi zens, so wrapped up in the maze ■ r t jnti c.an h-l-m...-. ;o be hidden from common perception. T hey woulo defy the research of those engaged in the humbler more useful avocations of life. It is believed that Jii punishment of crimes should be so easily known as •ecome obvious even to a casual observer; whereas will now require an extensive law library and the uc- cuteness and research of a professional man, to tell vvha are the punishments annexed to manslaughter, to arson ■' larceny from the house, horse stealing, forgery, ha boring a slave, and other crimes common to this coumr and when ascertained, it is thought, they may involve fi some instances a discretion in the court that may, on t: ■ne hand, defeat the criminal justice, and on the othe. oppress the unfortunate, guilty individual. The relit: • f the branding iron, tlie whipping post, and the pillory nflicted, as may some times occur, before the paid, naze, would no doubt do violence to the improved sen.-. • lilies of our citizens. We therefore decidedly am earnestly recommend, to our representatives in the ne\ Legislature, the restoration of the Penitentiary systen On the subject of reduction we heartily concur will re views of our fellow citizens of the adjoining atu other counties, expressed in their public meetings, whet they hold that the present number cf our delegates is too great fbr tlie purposes of correct, expeditious, and en lightened legislation. The less we pay for the enact ment of laws the better, and the fewer the number, con s -tent wi h a full representation of ali interests, thi more }ierspicucus, concise, and useful will be these en actments. The present apportionment we think dee.- violcnce to some of the first principles of our govern ment. Time will not permit us, nor space allow, an ex posure of its unequal and unjust operation. That the minority should rule, pass laws, and controul the elect j\ franchise, should distribute tlie finances of the country, and then be paid for doing it, out of the pockets of the majority, is what no man or set of men can justify.— And yet these are only a few iff the many extraordinary and inconsistent effects of our present system. It is true • opicthing should be done. The evil is too great to be tolerated. The same minority who have the power t bringabout those strange results have exercised that pow er time and again, to prevent every successful attempt to correct the c\ il in a constitutional way, by opposing it in the Senate, where they have the controul, having denied it to the majority when applied for in a constitution form. We therefore hold it to be the right of the pc, - pie t? correct the grievance, by a resort to first principles A convention is proposed for the purpose. We approve it, and hence recommend our fellow citizens to go i convention as the last and only remaining mode cf ef fecting that which the Legislature, controuled by a small minority, unwisely refuses to grant, to wit: analtera- •■n of tlie constitution. And, in conclusion we beg leave to present our most sincere thanks to h;s honor Judge Strong-, for the promp- ''Hide and decision manifested in the discharge of the rim ness of the present term, and his polite attention v his body, and to Lite Solicitor a similar expression of ou: feelings. We request these our presentments of a public nature ; o be published in the Georgia Journal and Federal ; u ion. WILKINS JACKSON, Foreman McGEIIlSE’S OFFICE, MILLEDGEVILLE, GA.

WILLIAM M. MORTON. May 3 43—m3t GEORGIA.—Superior Court, Pulaski county. ArniL Term, 1832. Present, His Honor Lott Warren, Judge of said Court. the Grand Jurors for tlie county of Pulaski in T ▼ closing our session for the present term, view tli deep concern the late decision pronounced by Lis h^nor Judge Marshall, in the case of the missionaries late f the Cherokee Nation ami now- confined in tlie Feni entiary of this State. We believe that tlie opinion so delivered has a tendency to create disunion of the States encrally, and in all its bearing to be contrary to the law of nations, to the civil compact and State rights.— • f the Cherokee Nation ever existed as a foreign nation, we should like to know by what foreign power that in dependence was ever recognized, or at what period of time there was a Minister Plenipotentiary or Diploma- ■ c character residing among them. We have long seen our legislative Halls overflowing n confusion. Look at the great accumulation of our Statute law s ! Who can say in a short time what the aws of Georgia are on the criminal side of the court! We arc sorry to find them unnecessarily numerous. We thank his honor Judge Warren for his very ex- ellcnt and interesting charge ; and his inflexible itnpar- alit.y in all cases entitles him to our highest respect.— The Solicitor Genera! has performed his duty highly commendable to himself and his country, for which we tender him our thulilts. Wc request that these our presentments, be published n the Georgia Journal and Federal Union. PETER L. LIVINGSTON, Foreman. B Hoas Jones, James Phillips, Sterling Tooke, John Wallace, Henry W.
