THE ORANGEB?RG NEWS GEORGE BO LI VE It, Financial and Business Manaokb. Official Paper or the State and of Orangchurg ( ou".(y. SATDKBAl, MAY 17, The (?rund Jurj O^ueatloii. ii HM.'i: -, It- has been proposed by tho bar of New. York, ? to modify our juridical system by abolishing Graud Juries. The ev?s* 'find total prostitution of this part of the criminal procedure have become HJaajiig-s v , . so^nta^rked and t-? apparent that its utter abrogation is demanded by men whose duties and avocation place them in a p-fc-s'MUtt to realize its baleful features Instead of bei ng as was intended by the Epglish Common Law, a subordinate pajt in. that admirable system of crimiu al jurisprudence, in this country, this bi dy sgeius to have obustitu'-ed itself a special Vigilance Committee for t\\a fee retina out nnd punishment of offenders It has become an Inquisition, indeed, ig the Spanish seuse, ictVA a vengeance .Like the famous "Hcgulators" of the early days of this province, it has os t?uniod bopremo nnd awful functions aud attempts to "right all wrongs" in nnd of itself. Tho rest of tho Court are but appendages to this secret aud fearful tribunal. Now when it is remembered, thut all trials and coudoinuatit us of this Auto da /<? are entirely c.rpa><:-} that is on hearing but one side of every ques tions or case, aud thut. its operations are veiled in mysterious and iuasonik secresy, it is appallingly evident that there is not much chanoe for justice but a Tearful margin for oppression. An injury that uo subsequent vindication can heal rany be done to an inuoccut sensitive and defeueeless man. , What a mighty aud fearful engine to gratify personal, political, or religious Fplecn and malice ! Especially has this Inquisition become tbe last weapon iu ihe hands of a defeated and maddened political party, which concentrates here all the poison of its malice to strike in sidious blows at its opponents/ This prostitution of a par/ of the criminal "bystem has rendered the Grand Jury as it now is, a blot and a'defect in the Tj (I ;ltjW ?t?l ' \ administration of justice. Id ; Charleston this very week the Grand Jury iu attendance upon the ' United States Court undertook to rebuke trid browbeat the entire practise of the Court and even flatly told the Judge thut if he showed more cuergy and at tent ion to his duties that things would' be much Letter. So flagrant was this proposed presentment that Judge Bryan refused to rcceivo it as being {irrelevant aud out of the scope of Grand . Juries. The offended Inquisitors after \ wards declined to briug in ant/ report. It is time thut this question should be investigated. It is becoming a set ions matter. Either we must accept the proposition ? of our New York friends i and. abolish the thiug altogether ; or snob restrictions and definition.- niust?be "'placed around this boly in tho perform aiiec of its functions that will cud its career as an engine of oppression aud malice aud reuuee it back to its pro . vine? as an harmonious and subordinate part of the criminal system. ? The remarkable uon presentment of the Charleston Graud Jurors has caused a deal of excitemeut and some amuse ment, from tho fact thut these "good men" and true so far over did the thiug aud carried their littlo gatuu of spite to* a ridiculous extent. Judge Bryan read to the inquisitors the charge of Mr. Justice Field delivered to a gaud jury in California. We extract from J udgc Field s ohurgo : '?We therefore iustruct you that your investigations jre to bo limited : let, To such matters as may be called to your attention by the Court. 2d, To such us may be submitted to your consideration by tbe district attor ney. od, To such as may eoine fco your knowledge in the couno of your invent i gntiona or from //our owu observations. 4th, To- such as may come to your knowlcdgo from tbe disclosures of your bFspciatcs made upon their own personal cognisance suppostcd by their oath or affirmation." "A preliminary examination of the ticcused boforo a Magistrate where Re en'-j meet bis prosecutor iaoo to face npd cross examine him and the witnesses produced by him, and havo the benefit of counsel, is the usual modo of initiat ing proceedings in criminal esses, and is tho oue which presents to the citizen tho greatest security against false accu suttous from any quarter, and this mode ought not to be departed IVom. The charge concludes with these words: "Wc have been led,.gentlemen, to give these instructions upon tbo nature of your dutict, und the limits to the sphere of your in vesiii aliens, because the impressious widely prevails that that the institution ol* the grand jury has outlived its usefulness, hii impression which has been created Iron] a disregard of those limits and the facility wi.h which it has unfortunately often been used as an instrument for the gratifica tion of private malice." C liisif Justice Chatte Dead. The news has by this time been circu lated through this broid continent that the cmiueut Jurist Judge Chase, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is dead. During the past week the j omp of funeral has evinced the honor in which he was held. Memorial Day. Saturday last, May 10th, was the an niversary of tho death of Stonewall Jackson. The day has become a holy day with a brave and conquered people, and ha? been consecrated by the women of the South to the memory of all those who with the great soldier, "have crossed over the river and rest under the shade of the trees." On thin day the graves of the Con federate dead over the Southern land are strewn with flowers. Meet and beautiful custom ! "The civilized world wou'd justly regard us as worse thau hcatllCU, if wc failed tu d i perpetual honor to their mem .ry." At theee graves the shrhus of sacred and glorious memories, catching inspira tion and hearing echoes from the , tomb at f.ssington: "Human virtue tbuuld be equal iu human calamity." j "Duty ia the bubiimest word in our Inn- j guage," lot us but the more resolve to do our duty to our State aud Country in iu her ehau0ed und now condition.

The State appropriation made for Free Common School purposns, for the cur rent fiscal year, in iticlf, insufficient to eu p ply the educational wants of the peop'e. In those States having the most pepular, satis factory and successful systems of Free com mon Schools, the schools n-e almost wholly sustained by means of Local School Taxes. 'Jd. The mum.um or Poll Tax collected in encb of the several School Districts is, of itself, insignificant. :'.'l. The Local School Tax raised in any School District will be of great service as auxilliary and supplementary to the State appropriation and Poll Tax. ?t:h.
