Presentments of the Grand Jury of Lancaster District. Fall Term 1857. With the Address of the Presiding Judge thereon. To the Honorable J. B. O'yeall, Presiding Jiulyc, Lancaster Court, Pall Term 1867. The Grand Jury report : That ihev have examined the reports of the Commissioners of the Poor, and of the Catawba Indian Agent, and found them correct, so tar as they had any light on the subject. We :dao examined the report of the Commissioners of public buildings. We find the dis bursements correct. Mot the work for which money has been paid, is not very well done, and the charges for the same, we consider high. In order to preserve the health of the inmates of the jail ; we recommend that all the rooms of thejuil be w hite-washed before the first of next June. Inattention to this matter has, we have no doubt, been the cause of much sickness in the Jail, and it should in no wise be neglected. The locks on tho doors of the Debtors rooms and on the doors on the way to the upper story of the jail, are not good and new ant. better locks should be furnished. The Chimney to the jail kitchen needs repairing. The w ell is not in good tix, and some panes of glass are wanting in the windows of both Court House and Jail.? We recommend that a sink he made sonic where in the Jail Lot, into which all filth i'rom the same should be east VVc recommend that an Iron Sate be procured for the use of tke Sheriff's Utlice. After carefully a"d diligently enquiring into the matter, we are clearly <>! opinion, that a Voor ttonse should he established, in this District It is working well in tiie neighboring Districts of York and Chester, and the plan pursued by the Commissioners of the poor, for Lancaster, falls far short of effecting the object for which the poor laws were established. The Jury have further taken into ennsidstrntinn t Iws r.f tli.i I .its .of the Stale. They believe that tlie public interest require that sucli a coditicuii-m. or revision should be made, and therefore respectfully recommend the matter to the consideration of the Legislature. The Grand Jury consider the professional Gambler as a curse, a peat, and a verv -great abomination in the Land and would earnestly recommend to the Legislature the .passage of a law, making the punishment of professional gambling the same as that of l'etty Larceny. The present system of Road working is rarlial in its operations and fails most notably in the object of making good roads ? The Jury would recommend a system of commutation for road duty ; giving to the Commissioners of Roads and Bridges the powct to assess a sum in lieu of the twelve days work, reserving to each individual the right to work a certain number of day's if he prefers. The money arising from such assessments to be applied to keeping the roads in good repair, by contractors working under the supervision ot the Commissioners or some person appointed bv law. The Grand Jury arc of opinion that the free school money, is not doing the good it was intended to do, ot might be made to do, and would recommend this all itnpor tant matter to the grave consideration of the Legislature.

The IMaintiflf claimed two tracts of land in the | possession of the Defendant.

This, like aP other cases of the kind, owes much of its enormity to the presence or ngency, of strong drink. It uppearcd ia the evidence thnt Bin :kmon is an inoffensive and submissive man; that he had been per. scented time after time by persi n* in the neighborhood where he lived ; partly, because his family were of n most depraved cast, and partly, through wanton cruelty, excited by a desire to hear the unfortunate creatures screatn aud cry. Among the persons-who frequented this rile place was the victim Jame* lloney, w'ho nbout two years before had been badly . scalded, by one of tire prisoner's family while at Blackmnu's house in a drunken frolic, and who cherished in his bosom a deep seated and malignant revenge against j the cowardly old man. On 'Wednesday night the 5th Aug., Jas. Honey in the company of a young matt with whom he lived, came to-the home of John J). Black-man. Both Honey and his companion were drunk. I The object of their visit w;m-not clear from ( the-evidence, but it seems lloney-had his' sew ing done by some of tin- members <d" | the fani'lv and business of that kind had ' probably led him there and the other merely accompanied him without any particular business or-design. Honey went into the houue, and made some disturbance among those within and after "running on,'as it was termed, came out to his friend who had re mained in the yard mid \sked liim to go to a house near by where liquor was sold, and got 4a dram.' Accordingly tliey went off, and returned in an botir or two, with a jug of -spirits, which they deposited near the fence; n short dist-.ncc <frotM the cabin.? After returning, both uf tlrem went into the house. Honey took his seat on a bed where a sick woman, a daughter of the priaoner,wus-lying ; the other took his seat at the fire. Hooey commenced to plague I and tease the woman in the Hied, who re(s atcilly told him to go away and tense the I other girls, heeausc she was sick and could not hear to he disturbed. He, although of- | ten tunes requested to leatc the bed, lies j down by the side of Elizabeth, in her sick j bed, when John 1). Bhiekmon, rose front I his bed and .ordered liiui aw ay, telling him I at the name time "to plague Urv other 1 gals'* This act of B'.aekmon's appeared to a. ronse Honey, and caused him to quit the i house, hut as lie went out, he caught hold j oi uoiu siucs i>i inc aoor ami medio urenK ildown, in which lie failed. Him comrade j llien went out and endeavored to take liiin away, but could get him no farther than the fence. He. succeeded in getting hi in to tire fence aa many aa four times, hut lie returned as often, and the last time he took up a pole from the fence, with which he struck the door in his attempt to give a blow to HI icktnon, who was standing in the door, and as he (Honey) tinned round, or w.ia pulled round by Ids friend, he received the charge from the musket, below the ribs on the left *id.i, causing a wound two inches in breadth and Jive inches iu depth; he lived until the 12th. The testimony of the dsflvcont witnesses was slightly^eontradietory. as to the inten- j lion of llonev in using the pole, hut nil agreed that he was shot by John I). Black* iiii.il, aided and abetted by his son Min- j iard The prisoners John D. and Milliard Black, mon were niraigiied on Monday morning, and chose Thursday tlio '22nd tor theii triai. On that morning the Court House was crow ded with an audience anxious to hear the I result of tlt'i mailer. Col. T. N. Daw kins, a ltd his youthful nod talented partner, Maj. John I). Wylie, w ith not a shadow of hope I of reward, undertook the defence, of these unfortunate aid degraded wretches, who are poor and humble in thu extreme. Their appearing in the cuae was an net of philanthropy, ij/rd they ft Med their office, as men j who were discharging a Clirislinn duty toward a poor remnant of mortality. Front { the array of Jurors, after the usual ceremo j ny of challenging, the following was select- j < d ami sworn : John \V Tv\itty, t\>rt>nan, l-aiuly John- I ston, Caswell Mobley, Anderson Bowers, , Wesley Hilton, A J. Miller, Laban Ferguson, Nathaniel Bowers, John Usher, Alvin Massey, A M Caston, jr., I). P. Robinson. The solicitor, t'td. C. I>. Melton, was assistcd by Jos (j.illuehat, Ksq., of .Manning. The examination of the witnesses on the | part of the Stale, was short ; on the part j of the prisoners, a little more time u na consumed : However, one day sufficed for the trial. Mr. Galluchat opened the argument and spoke in his usual impressive manner ; next j followed Major Wylie. This was his first j i 11'? i 111 ?i viiuiiiiiti i , nc \iiu iitniui iu j himself and Ins profession and should he live to add experience to his natural powers, there is not a doubt that he will move !n a higher sphere in tiine to come, lie spoke earnestly in behalf of the prisoners, and by his manner seemed to feel the responsibility of his position?exhibiting clearly that he pleaded lor human life. Col. T. N. Hawkins, fcx-Solicltor of this circuit, iirntr after Wylie, and entered fully into the mer its of ttsc gase; hia reputation is established j in this Stale. 1 can say nothing of him that is not already appreciated, unless I were to | add, that after serving the State for several years as Solicitor, tie luis resumed the civil | practice, and without hope of reward enga- 1 ged in this case, as an act of benevolence. Col. McJlun closed the argument of the case. His manner is chaste and refined ; his voice is not quite so full of volume as that of his predecessor, Col. Hawkins, but he is hi) eloquent speaker nrid clear reasoner. I regret 1 was absent during the Judge's charge, but I am intoruied that he instructed the Jury, thnl the proof did not suhslnnli* nte the count in the indictment, and that the crime w?s mitigated by aeveral concurring circumstances. The Jury wm not very long in their room; the suspense ot the court wan soon relieved by their returning with a verdict against both of the prisoners, 'guilty of Manslaughter.' Public opin on has sanctioned their v? rdict, as being the most rghteons, Hist could have been found under the circumstances. On Saturday 2 o'clock, p. in., the prisoners were brought out to hear the sentence of the court ; his Honor while talking in his accustomed manner of rebuke, told the prisoners, Ihnt nothing so much as their want of spirit and cornmoo sense had saved their lives, that they had for a long time borne the insults and injuries ot s eiass io the community wberu they lived, ?Q?i siftce they had been harmless and inoffensive, evincing scarcely spirit enough to protect their fireside, the sentence of the court was, thnt they.'John J>. and Miniard lilacktnon.be imprisoned until the first day of January 1869, and pay a fine of one hundred dollars cuch."

We lutve'bul one other instance in the way of Hank suspensions, in Ibis State, to report since our last. The Bank of New. berry,has followed in the wake of its more illustrious predecessors. The other Banks ? hieh stand up to this date, may be consid. ered as having passed the crisis of suspension and they remain evidences of the greater skill and prudence with which they arc managed. This financial revulsion in onr State has occurred at a .favorable period ? upon the eve of the meeting id* our State Legislature i and if this Body acts up to die general sentiment of their-consti uents, the Banks will be made tt> feel the full weight of the pen nlty prescribed for thi* violation of their chartered privileges. It is well understood and believed that we have more Hanking institutions than llie interests of the |?eo|?le require and that the majority of them have .signally failed to carry out the design for which they were chattered Instead of be ing a source of accommodation and convenience to the people, directly the reverse of this has been shown to be true. The I fewer the number of H.rtks, the better for the people nnd the less they will feel the e flee Is of these periodical revulsions in the I money market, which in nine times out of ten, have their origin in the unsound and j reckless syptem of Hanking which pervades <>ur entire country.

During the twenty years thtv have Iwen before the world, thousan ds of inedieines.hun* dreds of new systems of practice have been ushered into existence, enjoyed an ephemeral popularity, snd pn-aed into oblivion ? Not so with Hoiioway'a Pill* and Ointment. They at ind first on the list of modern curatives Thia reputation ia founded on n rock?the rock of truth?and cannot be shaken. Scarcely a y ear ago their inventor came to our shores unheralded It is true that la rye quantities of his medicines were I consumed in the Unites Statea, and that hia skill, his enterprise, his success, Were often referred to by the American press, but personally he was unknown to us. and the great system of agencies with which he had covered more than half the habitable globe had not yet been extended to this counlty. He came hither for the purpose of affording us new facilities for the pro* ! curement of his preparations, and the consequence Ans been an increase of one hundred per cent., in the demand for th.-m within a few months.
