JtTI EF,-Ari)icH O.N THE ORDI.R OF GEN. -SICKLeS.-Hlis honor recently held court at Yorkville .in thn place o'f Judge Dawkins who isill. In his ad dress to the grand jury, which w! find in the Eauirer, he remarked that: "It was his privilege to stata to them that an order had been recently is sued by'the, CommandaRt:of the State, restoring to th,e' jurisdiction of the State, all matters coming under the the cognizance of her otirts, with one or t-wo exceptions. Tho Vagrant Act and the penalty of whipping for cer tain offences, were not permitted to be enforced 'inder this order. While he c6ngratulated the jury upon this near approneh of the State to,the man agement of her own offairs once inre, -he must express the humiliation he felt that we were under the control of a power which could still address its edicts to the Stata.permissively as re garded the enactment of laws. for its proper welfare. In relation to the act against vagnriney, the military iu thoritics required that if upon indict ment, the defendant offered proof that lie had made reaeonable effort to ob tain employment and failed,'tliat he should not be subjected to the penal ties of conviction. This, in 'effect, nullified a wholesome law. It would be easy enough for a bad man to prove that he had made applination for employment.., It was a well known fact that persons of a notoriously bad eb-araeter could not well procure cm ployiment, where others cou!d, and it was against such person4 that the act was mainly intendd to operata.* Un der these trying cireumstances of our. condition, lie counseled patience. Tihere w.;s aphigher degree of courage in submitting to yvhat we could' iut uvort than in growing restive under it. In,relation to the freedmen thrown upon the protection of the laws of the State, he urged the Grand Jury to see that strict and impartial justice be ac corded thein. In some coniunities, lie regretted to sny-and lie hoped not. in this one-many acts of lawlesness had been committ9d against thee people that called for prompt and de eisive punishment. - His experience had been that this class of persons (the fradmen) had exhibited a dispo wition in regard to thu 'lis, that had entitled them to their 'fullest protee.. tion, and he was unwilling to see a spirit bf proscription manifested tos wards them.
