Judge Mackey's Charge. Judge Macfcey, at a recent term of the Circuit Court i'or York County, urged upon tbe Grand Jury the necessity of making strict inquiry into the official conduct off County officer?. He said i? In the opinion of his Honor, York County is peculiarly fortn-l liate in having an honest body ofi public officers, who are faithful in the discharge of their duties, which v 'exception deserves the special no tice of the Court at a time wheal robbery and plunder is the rule in every official department of the State, without exception, and when! official corruption stalks throughout the country. By lodging derelict ulf&eers in jail, and prqperly aided by the Grand Jury, his Honor hopes to check the march of cor- , mption in the judicial district, and preserve in its purity the benign j system of government wisely designed for our people, but which was brought into disrepute by the < corruption of those who adrninis- l ter its affairs. Of the enormous i taxes paid for the support of public I schools in trie state, witn xuc ex- ? ception of York County, all such j schools in the State would probably be closed by the 1st of May, in face { ot the fact that ?300,000 had been ( collected for the purpose of keep- j ing them open. Xor is corruption j confined to this one feature alone. , So notorious is the corruption i throughout every department of s the State Government that it lias < attracted the attention of the whole s civilized world. This corruption can only be checked by prompt action of the Courts and Grand Ju- * Ties of the respective Counties, i Which, in the opinion of his Honor, a can wield the necessary power; but c 6hollld they fail, so far as the speak- v er tras concerned, he should feel it ^ to be his duty to tell the people to check it by the might of their own arm& 0 f. ijeeting Of tiie SfiCONt) A. ?.
