K PRESENTMENTS. THE Gntml Jurors ‘selected and sworn* on Jthe First |Panti’ for the county of Muscogee, at the Regular Term of tl e Superior Court ol‘ said county, held on the 4i,h .Monday of June, 1855, beg teßve to make the following Presentments: tHr-. VVe earnestly call the,attention ol the Inferior Court and City Council ol Columbus, to the condition of the Court House. While it does notexhiblt the appearance of actual di lapidation, yet, there is much room for iuiprovemement. This Court House, probably tbe moat costly in the State of Georgia. Hiid beautifully situated in a public square, ought to be kepi, not only clear of leaks and in good Prepair, but the grounds in which it is located, deserve especial attention, VVe respectfully suggest to the Hon. Inferior Court and City Council, who have it in charge,tthat the Hrick Walls aiound *he square be re-formed and run on the iine of the lot, that the walls inside of the lot ,be removed; that the entrances to the square beprotected by heavy and substantial self-shutting Iron Gates, such as are used in other cities lor like purposes : that the6teps, which now afford easy access to all kinds ol stock into the lat, be also removed. We further suggest that the present privy be taken down, a more suitable place selec ted, and another erected, largs enough lor the purposes requi red; that the grounds be graded so as to run the water to t e I V Ay HIV I t/UUUO IJv U'iVU nt* VV * u , 11 L south %ide of the lot, and that an under ground . v,a {lH~ l constructed to convey the same to the ,l ar ß e 8^ er , street. This beautiful lot,thus improved, and beauttneu wi.n trees, shrubbery and grass, and all stock and poultry kept out of it, would become what it was intended to be,a pleasant and delightful p'-omenade for our iellow-citi2ens. VVe have examined the jail of the County and find it insecure. The partition between the passage and jthe stairs, running to the second door, is quite unsafe. We therefore recommend ‘hat it be torn down and a new one more substantial be put up and a strong iron grated door be placed at the bottom of the stairs in lieu of the present close one. Also tne south w n dow in the Hall of the second story to have strong iron bars let into the unrights, and that the stove in theJDebtors’ room,be re moved, and placed where the pipe can run directly into the chimney through an iron grate. Also that the ground floor be thoroughly repaired. Jt affords us much pleasure to state That the Jail is kept in a cleanly and orderly manner by our •Sheriff, Mr. Brooks. . ~ . VVe report the following public bridges in a very dangerous condition, *vizt the one across the Standing Boy .Creek, near Parkei’s; theone near Jefferson Biggors’overthe same;stream, and the one across the Upatoie Creek, known as Randal’s. We report the following in a bad condition, viz: the one across the I patoie, known as YVoolfolk’s: tbe one on St. Mary’s road, kuown as Gully Bianch; theone across u stream near Dr. Rob isou’s plantation, and the one on tbe old Macon road, near the former residence of Capt. .Schley, all of which can be im iroved by small repairs. VVe recommend that the Bridge known as Wall’s, across iTpatoie creek, be rebuilt. The roads generally arc in a passable condition.but would be much improved by * little work. vVe hope tbe proper autho rities will take this matter in hand and will expect better roads anil bridges in future. . , , * We have examined the books, papers and records ©f the Glerk of the Superior Court, and report them kept in a ueal and systematic manner, with all papers, belonging to the office, labelled, numbered and kept in their proper places, tor which the present clerk, 1). J. Barber, deserves great credit. We have examined the State Docket, and find forty live State Warrants which nave not been served, and the parties living in this county. This matter should be attended to oy the pro Wo have examined the Docket ot Fines and forfeitures,and And the sum of eighteen hundred and thirtyfive dollars stand in/ on the same, which has accumulated in the June Term, ![•/).% and all ol which we consider entirely good. We respect fully request the Justices of the Inferior t ourt to appoint some fit and proper person, whose duty it shall be to look after all tines and forfeitures, have them collected and applied to their proper use.’ We ha\ e also examined the offices of the Clerks of the ln foriorCourl and of the Court of Ordinary, and find their books, papers, and records, neatly kept, showing their official duties nbly and efficiently discharged. It has been brought to the coucideration of this body that, in consequence ofthe amount of litigation,not only in this coun ty but in others of tne Chattahoochee Circuit, that the labors ol the Judge are onerous and excessive, frequently requiring more titan thirty eight weeks per annumjto complete the Cir cuit, and even with that labor, leaving undisposed of impor tant Dockets in this court; in view then, of the importance of • iifiicieiit time being allowed the Judge to complete the bust- De 3B ot the Court at et ch sesion, we earnestly recommend that a change be had in the organization ofthe Circuit, and that our Senator and /tepresentativesin the next Legislature be re qu !Bted to obtain the passage of a law for that purpose. Upon the Important subject of the Education of the poor, we have to report that owing to the fact that the Receiver ot Tax Returns has not bad sufficient time to complete his duties and makeout a return to the Clerk of the Inferior icourt of the number of children of all tax payers, between the ages of 8 ami 16, and also orphans and children of widows paying no tax, so that the Grand Jury could furnish the Ordinary with a list therefrom of such as shall be entitied to the benefits of the poorbchool fund, we find it out of our power to act farther in the premises, than simply to recommend the Ordinary to levy xno cause to be collected by the Tax Collector, a tax of 20 per centum upon the State Tax of the county for the year 1855, for the education of the poor of this county. But while we join in thus recontmonding the Ordinary to discharge this duty, for the present year, we cannot butexpresßOur decided convictions that this system, as it now stands,is wretchedly detective, and calls fora speedy and radical change. The Ist Section of the act ot T 854, requires the Receivers of Tax Returns in the sev eral counties of this State, to have an additional column to their fax Book, in whichthey shall enter the numberof chil dren o all tax payers, between the ages of eight and sixteen, vnd also orphans aud children of widows paying no tax. The 2d Section requires that the returns so made, be handed over to the Clerk of tne lnleriorcourt, whose duty it shall be to lay the same before the first Grand Jury that shall assemble there after, who shall select therefrom and make out a list of all the children entitled to the benefits of the Poor School fund under existing laws, which list shall be placed in the hands of the Or dinary,and by which he shall be governed in the payment of teachers having claims upou the poor school lunds. This im poses upon the Grand Jury in many counties ofthe State a duty, if not impracticable, is truly very onerous.Jln this county, for instance, there are over one thousand Tax Payers, to say nothingof orphans and children of widows paying no tav.— Now to furnish the list, as (required bv the second section as above recited, makes it necessary for the Grand Jury toexam ine with great care every name upon the tax book, and select and write off therefrom a list of the names of all the children between flthe ages gos 8 and 16, whose parents, guardians or next friend, are unable to pay for their schooling; also or phans and children of widows paying no tax. This is a very heavy task, when weconsider thej many other indispensable duties imposed upon the Grand Jury. If this duty is perform ed by them at all,it must, necessarily, be very imperfect. We find npon inspecting a list, made out by the Grand Jury of last jeai, many children named whose parents are very well able to pay for their schooling, and some of them, we learn, have so pint out ot their own funds. We learn from reliable authori ty, t.iatmany ortho teachers are wholly unfit aud incompetent; vet under the operation of the law, as it now stands, they are p.aced upon an equal footing,so.far as participation inthisfund ‘? concerned, with tne best and most meritorious. This is a se rious evil, but the worst feature of the system, if system it can I be called, is the entire want of confidence telt by the people uiat any practicable good results from the money they are call- 1 vd upon every yearto pay for this purpose. They look upon ! Bus tax as so much ot their earnings thrown away, feelinirno confidence as to Ha just application or of Us effecting any good here c,nbe no lite, spirit,or success in a system which W duces such distrust. \\ e learn ihat the 20 per cent, laid onthe State Tax ot last year and collected for this object amounted t • over $ i. H) in this county atone. The question may well be T, k f’ ’ W V af , “k 0 ; 1 dld U d , oV lt . ,his tax was temporary it might v “ ■ a . population increases this tax must advance We feel tha? a further continuance ol this sys em in its pre sent defective workings, will bo but the inflictionof an impS smon upon tax payers, producing but a partial it anv valuable result whatever. VVe therefore look to the next Legislature ‘’’ I; 81 . 1 ! 111 1 abrogation, and the substitution in its stead of !-o iV \vJ'th” M CI w ® h °, pC willbo found raore *dvanta tGous. He think there is a better ,pian—the lone adopted in some ol the New England States, if not in all, known as their lhsinct School system, we feel confident can Abe made to 4ork “tit tn many ot the counties of ouriState. This ntan pnniom p’t es the division of each county into School Districts of pro 'i v r i . o ?i 3 size aud population; that the qualified voters ofthese nets shall annually elect three Os their most worthy citi r ns, wh° shah be known as seketmen or trustees and who Tin sh Pa ’ d f reas,uablo compensation for their services.— 1 ha. the*® select men or trustees, shall have charge of the Dis !v!r V \ tre o , f t!, e Boor School Fund, also of the Districts f, l of he extra tax which may be levied ;aud collected front the county tor the education of the poor.

By cor.tromig their part of the poor * hoot unui, and their share of the extra tax, adding thereto 1 <e money coming from those in the District whocan pav for the schooling of their children, they will be able tcT secure, at times, the s rvices of competent and worthy teachers. By this means they can give their children a good education and have them at home under their own eye—a matter of no little ill'll chil.f. In counties o? spa, ‘ l‘°l ,ul 'i 101 >i this plan might not answer for the present; such would have to await population, but theii ’portion of the poor school tund may be applied as they may deem best umiUhe t-Im ‘ r, ‘ v '' t “henthey could adopt the oue “under considers This etude outline of a system we submit to whomsoever may represent us in the next l egislature, Mid IfA them to bring in and perfect a Bill tor this important ' f ohiL.? sk We confidently htpo and believe that some such plan^Atl 1 , adopted promising more success than any yet devised Vk. whichev ery child in our beloved Suite, from ; the lowest t, t h highest, eau have a chance, for an education.’ Wehave examined the County Treasurer’s Books and tin i them neatly and plainly kept,and the accounts, which we he Jteveare correct, stand as follows: Amount of County Fund up to 22<i of June, 1855... .$9,715 Payments as per Voucher# V,6BP 65 Balance $27 16 Amount, of Jury fund to June 29th 1555 $2,332 2t do *’ Certificates and Commissions paid ‘ to date 96 Balance 2 2b With about jSlaO >ll Jury certificates accruing treni the last adjourned term of this court, remaining unpaid.

One Box has cured Dyspepsia. Three Boxes have cured the worst cases of Scrofula. Two Boxes have cured Erysipelas. One Box always cures the Jaundice. Three Boxes are sure to cleanse the system from Boils; often less than one does it. Two Boxes have completely cured the worst of ulcers on the legs. Small doses seldom fail to cure the Piles. One dose cures the headache arising from a foul stomach. Strong doses often repeated expel every worm from the body. They should be given to children who are always more or less a fleeted with this scourge. Asa gentle physic they have no equal. One Box cures derangement of the Liver. Half a Box cures a Cold. They purify the blood, and thus strike at the foundation ; of every disease. Asa Dinner Pill there is not their equal in the world. They are purely Vegetable, and can do no harm, but do i accomplish an unaccountable amount of good. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
