Let our Grand Jurv do likewise. The Grand Jury of Union County in their late presentment to the Court now in session, instructs their County Com missioners not to grant license to any party to rotad liquor in tho County, say ing such licensed shops are of very great annoyance and injury to the citizens. The Chester Reporter says that Judge Mackey was serenaded by tho negroes of that town, a few nights since, when in htead of miking a speech, ke gave them 82 to buy whiskey for the crowd. No duubt every one of them appreciated the masterly effort. What a blending of generosity with judicial dignity. There was a man hung at Yorkville, hist Friday week. Gov.
