GENERAL ShKKUAN ON REMOVING TUB CAPITAL.— 1
Regarding the proposition to movutho capital from
Washington, tieneral Sherman is reported to* liave
said that "it* present consideration was futile, as it
would take one hundred years to get a bill to that
effect through the House of Representatives, one
hundred years to get one through the Senate, and
even after the passage of the bill by both Houses
one hundred ami one yu us would be spent in dis
cussing the most eligible point in the Mississippi
Valley to which the Capital could be removed.”

riCW VOItSk COUNTERFEITERS.
We have seen several letters from differ**
ent parties in New York proposing to sell
counterfeit cu|fency, but the one shown ns
yesterday by Mr. W. «J. Brennan of this
place, takes the “Vieiapidated linen off the
ahrnb&ry." / **
This letter is from a nest of thieves who
sign themselves Wogan & Co n and profess
to hold forth at 73 Nassau street. They
•ay they have on hand $850,500 in sl, $2,
and $5 bills, and that they arc so well ex
ecuted, tlmt they defy the Treasury experts
to detect them. Os course they offev their
coimterteits-at low prices to induce fools,
swindlers and scoundrels like themselves
to Imy. The puppies state that their stock
is in a safe place and that they defy the
sharpest detectives in New York, unless
blown we would Kke very much to
blow on them with a ton of powder.
The entire communication of the swin
dlers is very confidential, and implores the
reader not to show it to any one, as they
have tlie reputation in New York of being
“men of good standing.,, and are not sus
pected of dealing in counterfeit money”—
there ave tliousands of other' whelps in the
city j-trst like you ; who deal iu stocks,
gold, &c., on Wall street during the day,
and manufacture counterfeit money, “buck
at the tiger" and pick pockets during the
night.
If there is such an establishment on
Nassau street we hope soon to hern* of their
arrest, and being cetnpelled to dance a jig
i» the air.

GRAND JURY
PRESENTMENTS,
j* October Term 1869*
FIRST WEEK.
•
We, the Grand Jury of Decatur county, Ga.,
ehosen, Rejected and swovn for the October Term of
iB6O, do respectfully submit the following report
and the following recommendations ;
I. The Court House has been considerably im
proved since sessions of last Court, and would now
need no repairs if the recommendations of the
Grand Jury of that Court had been raoie strictly
observed ; and had the work began upon the Court
House and its surroundings been forwarded and
completed with proper despatch. But as the work
and repairs have not been completed, it becomes
our duty to reiterate and re-offer that part of those
recomrnendatiins which have been so closely ob
served. (
We therefore recommend the replastering of that
part of the Couit House from which the plaster
ing has fallen. We recommend the repairing of
the blinds and windows of the Court House. We
also recommend that a desk or case sufficiently
large to hold all the books and papers in the Clerks
office, be made so as to secure more effectually the
books and papers of that office ; and that one of
the desks in thje Clerks office be put iu the Grand
Jury room, for theie is no desk in the Grahd Jury
room, and the Forman therefore, is necessitated to
carry all unfinished business in his pockets. We
further recommend and call the attention of the
Court of Ordinary to the completion of the half
finished enclosure of the Court House.
11. The County Jail is good so far as its strength
and security is concerned. But it is with reluc
tance and regret we acknowledge that the condition
of the interior of the Jail is a reproach upon the
humanity of our county. There is a stench arising
within the Jail, so nauseating and destructive to
animal life, it almost defied inspection. And while
*ve recommend thorough cleansing we algo suggest
greater ventilation, both as a prevention and es
cape for those ofc noxious gases.
We think when, a poor house and the funds ap
propriated for the maintenance of paupers are prop
erly managed, both are at least a blessing to the
poor. The manner in which the poor house itself
is kept, and the management of the paupers re
flects credit on. the energetic skill of the overseer,
W. W. Harrell, upon fifty acres he has made nearly
500 bushels of corn, and about seven bales cotton,
each 5 weighing over 500 pounds. And while we
highly commend the management of the paupers
and the poor house, we ns severely condemn the
misappropriation of the funds intended for their
maintenance. We say misappropriation because
parties representing themselves as poverty stricken
have been supported without ever having seen the
poor house. We therefore recommend that all the
funds for pauperism be made to pass through the
hands of the overseer, and also recommend that no
oue, it matters noUkiw poor, be supported or sup
plied with any of the necessary means of subsis
tence, unless he or she goes to the poor houso. And
when they go to the poor house they be made to
labor as puch as is consistent with their mental
and physical capability. Upon reflection the au
thorities will discover that we offer the above re
commendations for no' other purpose than to dis -
courage pauperism. And when such a course of
procedure is instituted and continued other coun
ties and other cities will cease to iaise (as they
have done) paupers for onr couuty and city
111. The public roads are generally in good order.
The bridge on Attapulgivs and warnps and Mus
guito creeks a§e in bad condition. The bridges in
the Southern part of the equity are in fine repair.
We would recommend the building of a bridge 12
or 15 miles below Cloud's bridge, but the finances
of the county do not justify any such recommenda
tions and we therefore omit it.
IV. The Clerk of the Superior Court deserves
specialniention not only for the beauty of his pen
manship and neatness, hut also for his rigid care
fulness in avoiding errors. We call the attention
of the authorities to the tax books, which are not
only blotted but badly written- and replete with
We instance only the case of Capt. Wim
berly’s.taxes, which should have been $1.07 in
stead of $7.. Books are neatly kept.
The inspection ot the books of the Court of Ordina
ry proved unsatisfactory to the committee and to
the Jury. And we respectfully request and ear
nestly entreat the succeeding Grand Jury to exam
ine critically all tlie books of that Court.
V. Our county is not only reported but known
to be almost, if not really insolvent and bankrupt,
because of the believed 1 careless and unnecessary
expenditure of Its funds.
A number of instances of 6uch surmise and un
necessary expenditures, have been reported to us,
bu tas we have not been favored with a report from
Judge Joel Johnson, we are unable to satisfy the
demands of our people with a publication of their
present expenses, together with the amount and
cause of their indebtedness.
Judge Johnson offers as his excuse for his delin
quency, the want of time and the loss of bis clerk,
now acting, clerk Superior Court. Judge Johnson
promises to have his report in readiness for the in
spection of the Grand Jury of the'ensuing week;
and we hope" his report will not only justify the
expenditu.es of the county, but also hofch the
murmerings oflhe people.
VI. There lias been an unusual number of cases
,of simple larceny brought before us. Yet we think
if magistrates are more watchful in the discharge
of their duties, and if the law be promptly enforced,
there is hope for us yet.
In conclusion, it is with pleasure we tender our
gratitude to his honor Judge Clark, for the dis
charge of bis duties, the civilities shown this body,
and also for the interest he has manifested in our
county and our city.
The Solicitor General, Major Richard H. White
ly, is also entitled to our respect for his prompt
attentions to Our calls.
