All correspondents of Tim Timks will plca.se send in their conimunicu tions by Monday of each week if it is possible. On our first page this week appears Judge Towincnd's decision, in full, of the 0. Iv. & W. Hail road mandamus case. Many vital points arc made, nil of which goes to show that in rendering decisions of this nature our CitcuitJudge docs not ignore the rights of the people to curry favor with n corporation. The decision is interesting, and will repay a careful perusal. AN OUTRAGE. One night last week, while services were being conducted at the Pri-by terian church, some vandal* took tie* taps from tho axels of buggies, ami committed various other misdctiicatiers of a like nature; this was an out rage upon public decency, a meat: low and cowardly way of taking revenge or spite upon any one. . disgrace to the town, and nn insult to the presiding minister ami religion in general. \Vo like fun mischief and frolic as much so as any one, but wo don't approve of that kind of fun by wlnel some one is liable to be seriously in jured for life, and tl.o church is not : place for any kind of fun or frolic Our citizens arc very indignant ove? this outrugo and the guilty persons will surely suffer if apprehended. We sincerely hope that we rill never have another such an occurence as this in our town. A SUGGESTION. Tito era ml jury of Union county, at its last session, suggested tliat l*nu ii e~unty enlarge or build a new court house, ami gave several reasons for the suggestion. We don't need a new court house : our court room is about as large avou will (ind anywhere. We thin! that the windows of the present emir: room should be improved bv cutting them lower, as the loom is vm\ disagreeable 111 warm weather. It should also have u act of rcvcrtib e or storm doors. In lion of the new court house w< would suggest that the cou tv buih! a two story brick house on the cor ncr of the Hjuarc next to Judgment .?treer, with four offices down s?nii> and a. large room up-stairs. Our reasons for suggesting this building are as follows: First, the county bus to rent time offices every year? one for the County Treasurer, one lor the County Sir crvisor, and one for the School Commissioner. The rent for these three ofliees per year is about $ 180, with the chances ol the rent advanei? tr every year fioiu now ??n, as offices are in do t.illkil Hi I till It I i i i rk i i -.? in * laivm .Secondly, the large room or hull up stairs in the proposed building should be reserved Tor the sessions of the grand jury. As matters now Maud the grand jury lias to use tlie Clerk's office during these sessions, ;.r:d it is not at all suitable for that purpose. \t the same time, if any iti/eii has business at the Clerk's office lie cannot attend to it while :lie grand jury is in session. A.s mporfant a body as the grand jury />f a county should have a room properly furnished and eon.-gructe 1 for its ?p< cial purpoMi* and work. It the mo-! important body ol the < unity and due some coiisid* erali;n. \- matter-* now <taud our gran J jury is l.ko r.n an try ecu 11- v martial?on the move. !j I Next as to the cost: We believe i a good building could be constructed 1 lor ?l,80fr or ?2,000. At preset;t the county is paying ten per cent. j1 on ?1.800 every year (brittle rent j of three inferior offices with no con ; i venionccs for i'a grand jury. Tl; ; iSchool Commissioner, Supervisor 1 and Treasurer cotdd occupy the of , ficcs down stairs in the proposed ! building and the Auditor could also ( occupy one, where he wottM be tl"se I to the Treasurer, which would he a , great convenience during tax pay* 1 ing time. The county could borrow < the money for tins purpose ana ue 1 nt very little more expense i 1 ?i at . present umi possess much greater facilities for business of all kinds. j Buildings can Le constructed nov; < at less expense than ever. We of- J fer these suggestions to the pu'd e ? so that they can he ventilated and sftnlicd by the time the next grand ' jury is drawn, and they can take whatever action they deem necessary. We would like t > see the next grand jury take the matter in innd. Appoint, say, :i commit ee from the grand jury and a conn* hii11ee of three competent business men of taste and good judgment like W in. A. Nicholson, from the cot !munity at large to assist tl:em a: ?' erect a nice public building. '1 he county needs it, can a'lord it and should ha\ o it. f* Timely RcmarJcB.
