When he fill from his - canoe, which he accidentally did, the 'weight of the cartridges held him headforemost down. His boots stuck up above tbe surface; for the water was about five feet in depth. -Parties in the vicinit" saw the boots and hurried to the rescue; Rion was apparently "'dead when taken out., baying been un der water for fully three minutes, but lie was restored by the wss of proper remedies. CONGRESSIONAL Washington,December 1st.—-Tbe Sen ate was called to order by Vice Presi dent W T keeler at 12 o’clock,-'and‘prayer was offered by the chaplain. Messrs.

At its conclusion Mr. Ferry rose to an nounce tbe death of his colleague, Zacb- ariali Chandler, and moved tfiat ,the; Senate, as a .mark of respqct to the iut ter’s memory, adjourn, which was agreed, .to, and .the Senate adjourned at 3:15. The J’resident sent to the Senate to day the name of George-W McCrary, of Ohio, to be Judge of tlie Eight Cir- 'cnit. At precisely ' 12 o’clock tfie speaker .•slled the House to order, and after grayer by. the chaplain ,the roll was called, and showed an attendance of 232 members, there being fifty-six ab- s entees. The newly c’ieried members from Cal ifornia, Iowa and New York have quali fied for office, taking the ironclad oath, and the House lias taken a recess to en able the ccmrumiltee to wait upon the •President and inform him that the Honse is ready to receive any communi cation ficm him. ■ The leaders of the House of Repre. nentatives intend to procure tbe ad journment of the body imnrcdiately af- . ter the reading of the President’s phes- ssge, without proceeding to the usual Monday -call of States for the -introduc tion of bills or affording, any opportuni ty for the i ffairg of motions to sns ' -pCnd the rules, etc. It is also onder- stood that the Senate .w ill tiansact no bnsinesslbis afternoon after receiving the- President’s message. ■f At :250 the President’s message was received and reacl by the clei k.

The House adjourned. We, the Grand Jurors, sworn, chosen and selected for tfie first \\'eek of the November Tei-nj, 1879, of Houston Superior Court, make the following general presentments; By appropriate committees, we .have examined the books and ac counts of our county ojficers and find them all kept with neatness and correctness, with the fallowing exceptions: Oat of the number of Militia Districts of tbe county, only seven Magistrates’ Dockets Tiave been presented to us for onr in spection, while the law requires each official to present his Book at each session of the Superior Court, ypop pxamigatjog of §flch as has been presented, we find that soma are correctly kept while others are deficient in itemizing their bills of costs, paid and unpaid, as the law directs. We find in some portions of the county tfiat land has been returned to our Ta$ Eecgiyep bejqwr itsyalue in quite a number of ipstanpeq and we WPPhi most respectfully eqjopj upon him a more close septfimy in the future, in order fo ajaJje tjjegi more uniform. We find that the Judge of the County Court has disposed of 97 criminal cases; ^265 common law; 23 motions and 29 claim cases from Jan. 1st to this date. Our County Treasurer has on hand a balance of $2,442.84 in the Tfeaspry, as per report submitted to us. We call the attention of . Trustees of the Public Schools in the differ ent Districts of the County to their duty in assisting the School Com < missioner in every way poggible, which we are Sony to say has not been done in tbe pac t. The cogyaitlee on Public Build ings gjafi Roads and Bridges, not being able to fully discharge their djity for jyant of time, that duty was leff; £° til® next Grand Jury. We call the attention of our conn ty Commissioners to the dangerous condition of Clark’s Bridge, also a bridge or causeway across' a ditch running tbrojigh ' Mrs. Harper’s plantation on road from Byron to Fort Valley. We recommend ralings be placed on tbe bridge over the mill race at Thurmond's $fill. a 3 it is unsafe without them, apd the road on the South Bank of the creek at the same plac.e is sadly in need of re pairs. In regard to the recent unlawful execution of the confessed burglar apd thief in the town of Fort Valley, while it is impossible for us in our limited time to investigate the mat* top, yet we do feel called on fqpr an egression of our opinion. upon. Although there a^e said to be> and undoubt edly were many aggra vating and outrageous features com nectedwith the cijnj.es of the deceas ed, yet we do onqualifiedly condemn ’t he violent and unlawful seizure and execution of the same, and think- that for the good of our common country the matter should be inves tigated and the whole machinery of the law made use of, to suppress such deeds. . m We fix the per diem pay of grand and traverse jurors and bailiff’s at $2 for the year-1880.
