PROCEEDINGS OF COURT. A Slow Verdict- The Homicide 'Caso Comes to a Suddon Close-Senencos of the Convicts-The Presentment of the Grand Jury-A Lively Doo umont. The following is a synopsis of the business done in the Circuit Court since our last report: In the case of Jim Carter and others, charged with assault and battery wit.it intent to murder, the jury went out late Wednesday evening. The foretnan soon returned and aimounced a fail to agree-the Jury standing eleven to one. The .Judge in striuedlsl the jutry to continue tiheiir dcliberutions , snaii, a otstaibile beiig plate(l at the jutry roomu, the (ourt adjourneid till nine o'clock on Thursday nwnuin g. The jury were clled into Court and asked by the Judge if they had agreed upon a verdict. The foreman responded in the negative, and stated that their dis agreement was upon a t ii'er of fi'ct. The Judge then ordered the jury to re tire and continue their deliberations. After a brief absence they returned with the following verdict: "(Juilly, as to James Carter, Rutus Robertson and John Peter Cole. Not guilty, as to George Martin, Peter Martin and 3cnjaminul Afarti n1." The next case taken up was that of the State vs. Green Caldwell, colored, indicted for the murder of Burrell Caldwell a brother of the prisoner. 31r. A. M. Mackey appeared for the defence. Tha prisoner pleaded "Not guilty," and the jury was empancled in the usual form. The circunistances of the case have already been given in TmirNEws AND HEnAL). The line of defence was that the wounds inflicted by the defendant upon the person of the deceased did not cause his death, but that he died of peritonitis. )r. Ht. F. Gibson, who had made the post rnorte~m examination, described the wounds inflicted, and gave it as his opinion that death wvas not solely caused by such wounC The wit'e of the decensed, and several other' wit nesses testified as to his having been unwell for some1 days befor'e tihe fl'acas, suffering with measles and a severe aff'ection of the bowels. Drs'. Rt. B. IHanahan and C. iH. Laidd, sworn x:s medical experts, gave it as their opin Ion that the wounds inflicted, as5 de scribed by Dr'. Gibson, were not snfi cient to cause death. In this state of facts, the defendant's attorney mnoved1 that the Judge Instruct the jury to ren dcer a verdict of acquittal. HLis Honor stated that In his opinion there was not evidence sufficient to showv that the deceased died from the wounds inflict ed by the defendant. iIe therefore in struLcted tIhe jury" to render a ver'dict of "Not guilty," wich wvas according ly done. The prlisonier was discharged. No other criminal eases were tiid. Tile following sentences wvcr' Imuposed: Howard Star'ke, convicted of r'eceiv Inlg stoleni goods, 0on0 year at hlard la bor in the penlitentiary. Timothy KCelly, wvho p)leaded guilty of burglary, three years at hard labor' in the penitentiar'y.' John Kennedy; who was convicted of forgery i'n one case and pleaded guilty of that offence in another, four' year's at hlard labor inl tihe penitentiary. James Carter, Rufus Rtober'tson anad John Peter Cole, convicted of assault anid battery with Iitenlt to murllder-a fine of one hlundrecd dollars each, 0or one year each at hard labor in the penitenltiary. There being 110 jury cases ready for' trial, anId It being desirable that the ju rors should be0 at ther homes, the petit juries were disch arged until Monday mlornin)g. Thle gr'and( jurorsI had al ready been dischar'ged.' Friday wvas, taken up with default eases, orders of course, and other mat ter's of no0 public Interest. Presentmeont of the Grand Jutry. The following Is the presentment o1' the grand Jury for the Septembor term :-- - To the lion. W. H. Wallace, pr'c&<d ingu Judge: We have exatied tihe jaland public buildings. The jail seems secure, and as comfortable as could be expected, and the fare is re ported wholesome and plentiful. The brick kitellen in the yard is In bad con dition and was so reported at our last Court. A small outlay for necessniry repaMrs upon the roof, floor and .win dows would add much to its usefulness and permanency.. . OU,T 110USE. 'We recommend that venetian blinds be substituted for the shutters. on the south sIde, so that air can at, all times be admitted. Now these *Vndows are useless in the mornings, a.sthe shutters inust be closed to keep out the sun,. A few Yentilators. Overhead in~h cel-. ing would, we think, ad to th ralth and comitoa't of those aendiav , tiri, and it is eat-trestly urge that te st tina on the finnA, ich ha linthaq.e for some years, be taken up and the large accumulation of 111th under it removed, which operation it would be well to repeat after the rising of each court. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. These necessary appurtenances are in good order, and are pronounced commodious enough and otherwise suitable for the purposes for which they were designed. It would be ia matter ofconvenience and comfort for jurors, witnesses and lawyers, if a water-closet could be erected some wliere upon the public inclosure, to be used only during the sittings of the Court. POOR HOUSE. By committee this institutioI was scrupulously invest.igated andcl fotundin good condition, and is3 reported ats pre-. senting ant air ofinprovenenit.in matny1 of its departments. A new coal. of whitewash, which is now in prepiara tiot, will we think ake it ats neat mid comfortable ats the finanices of the county would justily. INTERI1OR DEPAITMIENT. We hiave examined by coumittee tllo books of the various county officers, and flnd them correct and neatly kept. Tb grand jury reconiinend t hat the .judge of probate require all parties havimg papers lthat should be on hliie in his ofice to file the same. And in case his request is not complied with i to institute legal proceedings against themtt. The grand jury futrther recoin inend that this office be furnished with stationery. The grand jury iecoim uend that, thc;proper oflicer beiutthor izecl to cancel all claitns against the county that have been paid. 'The books of the difl'ereit. trial justices have beenl examinedl and found to be correct, the fines having a-11 been paid ovcir G EN ERA L OnSEIIVATIONs. 1'hei spirit of litigation, we think,' is on the iicrease, especiatlly Up011 the pilt of the c(.lored por tion of our' citizena, and1 somne cases ;ire sent, up, by (rial ju.<titc . ihat nmi tiight b,' li lnii i I and 11o b-arin to ihe public ruSult. I.e fe'es 1( triui ju stices :are too stmall for the sertvices required in (nnail in1)t:nce'. whilst the costs inl the huighe couts are still exceedingly high. Tbc true philosophy of litWis to adapt outrselves to surr"onidcling cireumstaices---a poor p eolc iutit have cheap rates, and is litigatioin seenmi ia iecessity rather thnut a iuxmry, we recommend a lowering of its ptic(s. We loiest:y believe that a new law in rcferciuce to the trial by jury is notw neceded. Under the present systen one villain upot a jury is equal to cleveu 'honest men,. and may in all cases, cyout of dic aniost flaantt nature, defeat the ends of justice and run the county to emicless expense by mlaking mistrials from term to term. It' six teen jurors were drawn, wi Ii t welve to atgree, the difliculty imight be re-ilc died; and without, some change we tear that trial by "jury, as at present. practised, althoughI the boasfed biul work of civilization, will be brought into ridicule. ' BONUs OF PUnLIC OFFICERS. The bonds of public officers in this county' have ill many instances proved wor'thless, to the serious delriment of citizens, and althou g there is is mark ed impllirovent as to the character and qualifications of tie incumlibents over solie of their predecessors, still we think that the public good w.uld be best served by , rt, quIir'ing thlat all bondsmen should file mortgagcs of propel'ty equivaeent to thou' liabilities oni said bonds(1, and that in addition to the above, the oleLer, in case of convictoni for mlaaneLC inl oflce, hle con1sid1erdd guilty of' ian offece1C of' such a gr'ade as to senid hiith to the penIitcultiarIy feor life at the dis creCtion of' the judge.

The second crossing on the Rail road above Whito Oak is reported in bad order--in fact inl such condition. as to seriously entidangor the vehioles of travelers. The culvert on the Rail road near IIobblerod Branch is also in such condition as to damage the crossing oil the public road at this point. ''he leaving of 11(11(1 cars on the side of the Railroad at the crossiig near White Oak and other crossings has been reported as a nuisance, and shoul be abated. In a tormer presentnent it was re commended that, inmates of the poor house with children born out of wed lock he required to swear to their pa 1ernit y. It has come to our knowledge that the parties ref'erred to have left and are no longer a public charge; we therefore think that the public has no fur1 her interest ini ie these cases, in divi(lul redress still appertaining, and we ask a discontinulancu i the name of the cotunty.
