THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, APIfcIL 5, 1869. For the Evening Telegraph. GRAND JURY, Ignorance and Corrnptlon of Aldermen. The unlawful and oppressive practice of alder men In Philadelphia In Issuing their warrants demanding ball, In default of being able to enter the required security (which Invariably lsexcesMve), commit to prison npoa the charge of obtaining, credit by fa te preenaes, are amongst the most oppresslvo of their offi cial acts, ninety hundredths of which cam are unauthorised by tho evidence, resorting to criminal inBteai of civil rrocc38 In the collection of l bts. When the prosecutor and alderman fail In causing pay ment of the debt, aud the case Is returned to court, an Ignorant or prejudiced Grand Jury find a true bill, cvfry consideration o( humanity and a proper regard for tho lawful rights ol tho people appeal to the district attorneys and judges of cilmlnal courtK, in the trial of these cases, to adhere strictly to the rules of law in construing penal statutes. All are disposed to sustain these prosecu tions when resorted to for public protection in a proper class of cases against those who obtain credit by false rcprescLtitions of owning real or personal property, representations calculated to luduce a prudent, discreet individual to credit. Tho evidence sustaining a prima facie Intt lit to cheat and defraud, provided the law authorized it, the costs should be imposed upon the HifKtstratc in every instance where tney claim jurisdiction without evidence. Neatly every Uraud Jury in their presentment express regret upon this subject ot cost'. The piyinent Of costs would b3 a slight retribution upon a magistrate who prostitutes his official authority to promote private interests and gratuy per tonal anlmoiiij. The exhaustive opinion of his Honor Judge TiUdlow in T. J. Wok's case, at a hearing ou habeas corpus (Ltgal Intelligencer, June 10, 1865), deserves special attention. Ludlow, J. ' And first it is to be observed that, upon every charge of the nature now under consideration, we look instinctively to the intent with which the act complained of was done." The Judge refers to disappointed ex pectations in business, and a Ids : " If by some honest mistake he overstates it, or who, being flushed with hope of successful speculation (business transaction), honestly exaggerates some tact touching bis pecuniary affairs, becomes thereby amenable 10 the crimi nal law, .few may hope to escape; and such an Interpretation ot the law would lead into the criminal court many unlortunatc debtors, and every insatia'e creditor consign him to the penitentiary, A creditor has neither a I -gal or moral right to extort money by tbreat of a criminal prosecution." Tho decision in this case contains a full and able review of the English and Aiuericau ruling under tho laws of lalse pretenses. There are several leading cases decided by Judge King (Philadelphia Rep., Vol. I.) the tint year after the act was passed, amongst which are the xiic&ey anu riuicuiimuu case?, xnese decisions are considered by the legal profesxiou as learned review 8. lhe judges in every instance, when trying cases, impartially administer the law. Considering the oppression exercised over the poor and nnfortunate in criminal prosecutions (false pretenses), to cause the payment of debts arising from contract, a proper regard for the just and impartial administration of the law makes It the imperative duty of the Judge boldiug the Conrtot Quarter Bestions of Philadelphia, at the beginning ot each monthly term, to charge the Grand Jury explaining the evidence re quired to sustain finding a true bill, by these malicious prosecutions, the humane and civil ized statute otJuty 12, 1842 (or in the language mado use of by Judge Ludionjin deciding Wolfs ease, "destroyed a barbarous system )" though, by ignorance and corrupt meaus, this act is made the most oppressive ever parsed by the Legisla ture, by placing It in the power of a creditor, by bis voluntary act fui evidence, to convict and imprison his unfortunate debtor. Tho writer has carefully avoided to review the faleo pre tense law; that is the province of the court, the judges acting under the obligation of their official oalb, responsible to the intelligence of the legal profession and people lor their in structions to the jury. Tbe late deservedly esieemea rresiaent J uage of this district, Honorable Oswald Thompson, In conversation with the wiiter, opposed abolishing tbe Grand Jury, assigning as the principal argument the protection of the inno cent from the exposure and disgrace which invariably follow a defendant through life after a trial in the criminal court; that acquittal never in any instance protects the Innocent from ridicule and contempt. Those Who tike pleasure in calumny and popular scandal compote threefiubs of tho lounging audience in daily attendance at tbe criminal court. Tuese manulacturers of public opinion take special pleasure fn bringing others (their superiors in intelligence and integrity) upon a level with their own Infamy; consequently they never lor get a criminal trial, aud by extorting and mis representing tbe facts, accomplish their wicked desires, t or these and many o.her reasons but not to protect the guilty it is urged upon the court to instruct the Grand Jury fully as to the la at and evidence mail cases brought belore them. Tan Grand Jury was instituted as a protection against malicious prosecutions, ignorance and corrupt motives ot commuting magistrates. The prevailing opinion is that many jurors discharge the responsible obligations imposed upon them regardless of tbe otai or ajjlrmation taken iu open court, viz.: "That jou will diligently Inquire and true presentment make as well of ail such matters and things as shall be given you in charge, as of those you fball know to be presc.utable here; the CommouwealtH'8 counsel, your fellow's, and jourown, jou will keep secret; you will present no one ior envy, hatred, milieu (or corrupt Influences'), neither will jou leave any oue unpteseuud through tear, iavor, ailectlon, rewaro, or tbe hope tbcreol; that you will jue.eutull things truly as they shall eonio to your knowleJe, accord:: to the bebt of your tnderrtai dii g."t , , The obligations under wluc the Grund Juror discharge the judicial duties imposed upon them, aie ...

A Providence correspondent speaks as fol lows of Miss Ida Lewis, who, on Mouduy last, rescued two fcoldlers irom drowning In New port harbor:' "Miss Ida Lewis has again distinguished her self by rescuing two men from drowning. We cannot recollect Just now how many she has saved from watery gaves, but we think the number Is not less than a dozen. Her father is b-Anynf thA T.lmo Knolr T.tvtuhnilKA lnnnt.prl near Fort Adams.

The latter Jumps Into her boat aimout daily, regardless of wnat tho weather may he, and, with a pair of oars, propels It to Newport, distance one and a half miles, in an Incredibly short space of tune. Ube has been 'brought up on the water,' as it were, and can manage a boat better than nine out of every ten ot tbe male hex. In fact, she claims that she can row a toat faster than any man in Newport, and we are inclined to believe her, having witnessed ter management of oneonsevoral occasions. Ida Is about twenty-three years of tine, tall and slender, but possessed of unusual courage and endurance. Uhe never hears the voice of distress, night or day.wlthout Jumping Into her little craft aud proceeding to the scene of trouble. She has encountered great perils in the prosecution of her humanitarian olllces, but her great tact and coolness have always been equal to lhe emergency. It is a pity, 'and pi:y 'lis 'tis true,' that no testimonial has ever been given to this lady for the many lives she has saved. Certainly, no one has ever more deserved a public recognition for distinguished services." British I'raud. The Commissioners of Inland It wonuo in Great Britain have bt en making careful Inva ¬ lidations into the extent to which the returns of Income made to them by tax-payers are to. low. They have concluded that 40 nor cent, of tbe people who make relnrns give Iu loo low a sum: aud that these on the average return only 42 per cent, of their real profits. Iu other words, taking the returns of 1SU1 65 as themot conve nient for the purpose, they find that 110 000 out of h.50.000 neenle assessed for lnoorae make iu tuttfoient returns, their share of the lnoouie cbuigia being 111,012,000; and that t he amount not retnrreu. wniou ought io nave nsou re lurui d. is 67.251 000. At the present rate of 6J In the pouud, or 2J per cent., this would add lo tbe revenue 1,41,100, equivalent to auother in r nv on the Income lax.
