The regular and special grand juries
laconcded t ieir arduous labors yester

for which ttiey deserve to be compli

REGULAR GRAND JOBY REPORT.
To the lion. A. li. DoukUbi, Judge of th
Criminal Court of Shelby County :
Bib We, uie g ana jury impaneled
and sworn for tlta vay trui, 1880, of
the llonorahlo Criminal Court of Shel
by county, Tear)., do make this, our
final repoit:
We bad presented to ui 36 indict
mectsduiioK our term, upon wtiiih
we found 109 true blip, ignoiiog
twenty sevan.
Most of tt.e violations of law coming
before ds have been froui a c ass wh cn
seems to iucrese tiS our cosiuopo.itiin
popuiaion locrdane?. ss early oue
haif of tie iuaiitmeiits are eoibraced
under tbe head of "carrying concealed
weapons" aud ''assault and battery"
The temaiuder ate embraced undtr
tbe list ol cruelty to animal?, felony,
larceny, emntzz etuent, tssiult with
intent to commit muidtr and two oaly
for murder. We cuiiKiatuiats our fol
low cituouu uuon tbe ligbt prevalence
of ( rime u rutur tbe g aver oUenser. It
argues that our population is a re
specter of the law, and that class
wbicn constitutes tbe v.cious, a ruly
and immoral are only aa insignificant
portion of it.
a Your Honor instructed us to make
an examination of the books and busi
ness of tbe
VARIOUS COUNTY OFFICIALS,
B well his thi sa of the Taxing District,
going tack two yeats. You gave us
stvaial 'special" jurrs o assist in
performing this labor. You will see
irom the reports, some of which are
quite volumin us, tuat your "regu
lars" have diecuarged the most of this
labor.
The Eubcommiltets have performed
the duties aesigned thi-m promptly,
impartially and faithfully, and whoie
there are, or have been, any abuses
or ineulantita by cflicia s, tuey have
not failed to lepott toe same. We in
vite ycuratientiontocacaecmmittae's
repor-, which we herewith submit and
present as a pari of this report.
The comuiittees make a number of
"suggestions" and "i ecommtnilatioae"
in toeir report concerning tbe various
coumy offices, all of which are timely
and to tbe point. The office of Coal
man of the County Court La a veiy
respontib e one. Tuia officer is tbe
financial agent of tbe county, and s
, imimted ith mating settlements
with the revenue collect jrj and other
officials, and it requires a man of
tuorcuxh quaUfkat ona and pia.t'ral
sonse to ptriurni tbe dat es of the tiffic
efiicisnt y. D. (.'. Slaughter, tbe pres
ent incumbent, is vglaut and we
. bslieve iBdicharaiog the dutiei laith
fully and prjinpily.
We cenuut rnuutr.t) in this sum
mary of cur tabors all tbe
"bbcommbudations" and "sugges-
IIONb"
made by the fubjoum'ttee?. There
are leviril, Loaever, we will ca 1
your attention tj. Leaning out moneys
in trie courts, ana e peciaiiy in
the Chanceiy Court, where yuu will
see the sum is now very large and
many of tbe loans are uucolleclab'e.
When a law Is made it should be done
with every safeguard to secure its tol
lection, aud tbe Cleik and Matter
ebou d be p.ompt in collecting when
it becomes due. The practice of re
tiring county i tib ials t kiogoutof
tteir iesaect'v? dikes books which
pertain 10 tbe business of the ouoty
we would stveiely coudemo. .
Thesj biem.iat grand jmy inves'iga
tiooe, inaugurated ix years ago, hive
been produc ive of much giod. The
taxpayer and all good citizens bave
an interest in and a right to koow
jutt how the county offic als conduct
their offices. The expenditue of sev
eral hundred dollars lor this labor is a
laving of t louesnds to the county.
Good oflicials bave been known to
"go wrong," but when any ofhcial
knows his official acts will be investi
gated he will be mote likely t J
"HEW TO THK LINk"
and keep within the spirit of
the law. When an official's attont'on
is called to irreguVities in his office
by a grand ju y it thould be heeded
by him, and not disrrgardad as it has
been done in instance hereto'ore, fjr
it is done for tbe public good. Thelaw
is plain enough concerning the re
quiiemsnts in the administration of
every county office, and when it is not
obeyed tbe county atlo ney sbould
see that aa official does cooforifc to
the law.
"We would call Your Honor's es
pecial attention to this matter. It
should be b roe in mind that it is no
slight sicrifire for men of busings to
spend the better part of three or four
mouths in going over the affairs of a
county or ti y like oars involving re
ceipts and disbursement) aggregating
millions annually. Tois work is a
matter of biieiaes and of vital import
to our people t3 Know just now their
pnblic servants are conducting their
affair.
R forms should be made when tboir
necessity is pointed out by Buch com
petent agents a th grand jury, or the
expense and labor ol the jury investi
gations shcu'd ceasi.' On tha 17th of
August we vitited the
POORHODSB AND 1N8AN8 ASYLUM.
The Poorhonee and Insane Asylum
we found in excellent condition. Dr.
Duncan, the superintendent and phy
B'cian, is unremitting in bis exertions
in discharging his dutits. The wards
and apartments of the poor unfortu
nates are kept clean and neat and tha
food is well cooked and served. There
were 76 insin and 101 sick and pau
pers; total, 177. Dr. Dancaa utilizes
tbe labor of all the inma'es who are
able to won. A bountiful sup
ply of vegetables i produced,
which adds very materially
toward les ening the supply bill.
Oa tbe 1st of May he had
195 inmates. During May, Jane and
July there were admitted 109. Tnere
were discharged 113 and died 16; total
129. Leaving on band August 1st, 175.
There are twelve employes named
upm tbe pay roll, at a cost per month
of $162. The salary of the Superin
tendent is $200 and the Commission
er's is $85. Total sa'aty account, $447.
A. 0. Wellborne, the Chairman of
the Commia ioners to this iristltu ion,
makes all the purchases of supplies
and examines minutely into every
bi'l. For the quirter endirg June 30. n
the supply bill was $2187. The ent
ries and supplies amounted to $1176
per month fjr tbe quarter. We
found the
WORKIIOUSS,
in cloie proximity to the Poorhooe e,in
perfect order. The Superintendent,
Mr. If. M. Thomas, and his a'siataut,
W. C Tappsootr, steward, keep the
premises in nice order. We saw the
food at dinner time, which wa wrved
to the convicts, and it was good and
wen co' sea.

We found at tbe
CITY HOSPITAL,
located on Union avenue, a total of 97
inmat'S; ma'es, white, 05, fena'es 16
males, black, 14 and lemales 2. The
naii-qoa'e eupplv of wator for BJtne

were informed, has prevented
loose in caags ot it irom
keeping the sink und close 8
in as clebnty conditi in as thev thould
be. Tbe building was clean and tbe
different wards were in eooi order.
On the ISth of August we msde
a visit to the
FB8TB0USE,
located on the river, about four mi'es
below tbe city. Here tbe county owns
e'gbty acres and on the premises is
trie restnouse and potters' neid.
There we e no patients iu the est-
house; the last oue was dlecharged in
June, ints institution is In
charae of Mr. R. C. Sm th, who re
ceives a salary of $20 par month. He
furLishes his own provisoes and pays
a rentxi oi o p3r annum lor tne

Dr Cannon, receives a salary of $33
pr mouth, and Cjrom ts oner Agnew
recaivB 140 per month, whicl c sts
toma ntain this in titu-.ion monthly
$87. As a ma ter of economy it is tbe
opinion ot the jury mat 'hs office (f
commiofioner should be ab jli-hed, or
ma Btiary materially rinucea. i"e
buildings are wretched. Toeir coodi
tioa is euch that tbey ca inot be ren
dered comfortable dunrg tbe winter.
One whole end of O'e tif the wards is
nowreadyto tumb edown. We would
reccommend tbat tbese buildings be
put in good order or else torn don.
Tbev are a disgrace ti tlisc iuntr,aod
if thr were any patients there we
would feel like indicting the county
for cruelty iu haviDg no more omior
table apartments, i'hs furniture is
o'd and dilapida'ed and would make
excellent kindling wood. Our visit
to tbess institu ions occurred whwn
the merouiy wss in the handrtd-,
and the circumstances a'tendmt upon
oUr visit to the Prsthiuss w ll bjre
caded with vivid recollections. Try
ing ti make thelarges' 'buiia theci'y

0ca was, in a ravine, with the
Blotching tun pouring down upon
us was excruciating. Alter a a'k of
two mil s, aud securing the a d ot ex
tra teams, we were able to reorganize
and n sumo our jiuriuy. We would
recommend tbat (be road thrrugh the
enclosure be worked immediately, and
put in a passable condition at le.ist.
There should beshatie nees set eround
tlid -P. s. house and Workbou'e, both
of which would be rsnder d m ne
romfor able during the midsummer
he t.
We visited
Till COUNTY JAIL
August 23d, and made in icspection
of the same, which we found in ex
cellent condition, dpt. Law lean, the
jiier, is vigilant and attends to Ins
duties promptly. lie deserves much
credit tor the sroo 1 condition of this
icstituticn. We found on tbo jail
rotster tfiirty-eix prisoners credi el t
the county and forty to ihe e tc. Pa'.
nenetnan, the engineer, deserves
mtnt on for his efTicieccv and cLiah
at enticn in the discharge of his du
ties. The soil pipe in the jail buiHing
shou'd be lengtbnned. It is not sufli
cieotly high. By refernncs to an
bea'tu ordinance of the Taxing Dis
trict, regala'ing tbe construction of
pnblic buildings, page 140, settion 59,
the soil pipe io the ja 1 does not come
within the provision of the law.
We made an inspection cf the .
CITY PRISON,
August 23J, and found but few prison
onHts occupying it, as they are dea't
with promptly and confined in the
county jail when convicted. Ths Tax
ing District should bave a leipect.ib e
prison and woranouse of its own. Bv
referencs to the fctn of tbe Legislature
of 1883 it will be sen "aa act author i-

to build a station and workhouse, and
it siuuid not delay about it.

P.8. Since the preparation of tbe
foregoing repnri it has come to the
knowledge ot the grand jury that tbe
laws in reitard to eieciions have been
vio'aed, in the failure of the officers
holding the late election in this conn-'
ty to file returns of same with tbe
clerks of tbe County and Circuit
CourlB. The law reqni ws that returns
shall be made officially within ten days,
where' s twenty six days have elap-ed
and the returns are still unreported In
a official manner.

Your committee would call vnur at-

By reference to exhibit Q ti this re

tbess note eight are ptt due, several
are wiihout security or collators', and
a numher of them are drawn bv Dr-
sons who have fsiled in business tee
exhibit ' a. " Tbese losns are nnon
order of tbe court, and the Oierk and
Master is not respocsible for any
los es which mny occur. Eighty-five
thousand dollars is a very liberal ac
commodation to borrowers in tbe
Chancery Court. As i here is no law
fireveutng tbe court from lend
eg money, the practice will doubt-
lets lncredse as toe innos in
crease. Ine couit nugnt togua'd well

money, require gut edge" sscurity.
Thers are no over charges iu this

Litigation is largely on the increase
820 rases have been filed in twenty
mont'is. "This is the couit where the
lawyer lis down iu green D'slures
and is led beside the at 11 wa e8."
The not'S taken on lund tales amount
to $364,082 01, and, strange to say, the
Clerk and Mailer nas do "bills receiv
able bxik." Many eot's taken for
money leaned and purchase of real
