The tax receiver’s book of 1879 shows,
as we thiuk,that some of onr citizens re
turned their property at less than its
real value. The law makes it the duty
of the Grand Jury for the fall term of
the Superior Court to examine the tax
receiver’s book of that year, and to en
ter upon it their own estimation
upon all property given in at too low a
rate. Inasmuch as a number of this
body belonged to M ie Grand Jury for
tiie last fall term of our Superior court,
we fell justified iu saying that they fail
ed to do this; the more so, as our ODly
purpose iu reporting this - over.-ight i6 to
make less probable a similar occurrence

Citizens fiom different sections of the

inquiry, we find that the Connty'Board
of education have decided that a school
is not public unless it. numbers at-least
15 pupils. TheSe complaints have come
from sparsely settled districts; where,
by reason df this sparse settlement, it is
impossible to collect as many as 15
children between the school ages in any
one ecbhol. Iu justice to our befard of
education, we state that Commissioner
Orr coincides with their opinion, but at
the same time admits that this opinion
comes from the Cxvfcise of discretion,
and not from ahy declaration of law. In*
as much as the law does not fix a mini
mum for public schools, except in the
case of ambulatory schools, we declare
onr belief that this decision of our board
of education is unjust, foundjd as it is
only upon their opinion that r. school is
i ot public unless it numbers fifteen pu-
vvlls. We believe that a school iu
any schi 61 district is public

Houston Superior Court-
The entb'e time of the court was con-
consumed last week without touching the
criminal docket. Quite a number of civil
cases were disposed of, but as they are
of very little interest except to the par
ties to the suits; we make no record of
them.
On Saturday tlie grand jury lead
their general presentments, and that
body, together with the grand jury
drawn for this week were discharged,and
this feature of the court has not been iu
operation this week,nor will theie benny
grand jury bu duty next week.
Upon finding that a heavy criminal
docket was before him. Judge Simmons
decided to hold the court three weeks,
and trav’ers'o jurors were drawn to serve
next week, a list of whom appears else
where in this paper.
On Monday Judge Simmons appear
ed on the bench at the usual fiiiSe, So
licit© General C. L. Bartlett attending
in the interest of the stace. Immedi
ately upon the court being called to or
der the criminal docket w is taken up.
The following cases have been tried.
The State vs. John Belvin, (cot.) alias
John Ray, charge l with murder. The
jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
State vs. Charles Conyers (col), bur
glary. Prisoner plead guil'y.
State ys. Ro bert Conyers (col), bur
glary. Verdict of not guilty.
State. V3. Gyros Jordan (ool), simple
larceny. Verdict of guilty, with rec
ommendation to the court for mercy.
Sentence has not been prouonneed on
any convict, and the court is still en-
on tbe.criminnl docket. Report of fur
ther proceeding will be made next week
Judge Simmons presides with much
dignity, and his rulings command thp
utmost respect frem the bar and all
others in the court room. Promptness
is a feature that is peremtorily deman m-
el. and the pocket of the t irdy juror,
witness or party to suit is made to suf
fer iu c msequecee of his failure to ap
pear at the proper time.
