THE GERMAN CELE J ----------- [)RATION.
•Notwithstanding the protest of many
citizens, a large and respectable portion
of the Germans of this city and vicinity
did celebrate yesterday, the anniversary
of the Declaration of .Independence. How
many thousands participated, we are not
prepared to say, but the procession was
imposing as to nutimers; and' was as or ; -
. „,
derly as such a demonstration eould pos
sibly be. Except that Sunday was put
to muse quite unusual in this country,
andaltogether at variance with the then
lokfc6l ideas andhabits of large classes of
the people, no reasonable exceptions
could be take; that is, if the same demon
stration had been made on any other day
of the week, it would . .have been imiver
sally considered as highly creditable.
Regarding as wedo 7 not fronl tradition,
but from examination and conviction—
Sunday and Preaching to be among the
best instrumentalities for the moral and
religious elevation of the people, we are
strongly averse to have their, due and
regular observance interfered with. That
the appropriation of a portion of Sunday
to a pathetic commemoration is a breach
of the;lewe of this. State, we are not pre
pared' to affirm. Lawyers are by no
Mesas unanimously of the opinion that it
is;and. a judicial decision to that effect
/.
twill be required before all classes of citi- •
ens will be brought to agreement on
that point. • But that such appropriation
of the day, or of any part thereof; does
„great
.violence to the religious feelings
and oPiniOns of Many citizens is obvklus.
In this view of the case, if from no higher
One, our: judgment is clear that the de

promotive Of harm in the estrangement of
elements of the;population which will al-.

of what stuff human nature in general,
or his own portion of it in particular, is
composed. We commend both sides to
cultivate a better acquaintance with each.

virtues of each, and lay less stress on'thr
peculiarities or foibles that may be detec

THE POWERS OF: GRAND JURIES'
--THEIR USE AND AirsE,
On Saturday morning, it was qui duty
to animadvert upon the remarkable pro
ceedings of oar Allegheny =Grand Jury,
in uttering, a public libel under the
specious pretext of a quasi Vresent
meat" founded upon "common , rumor
and the public press," They were, in
deed, ;so "Innocent" as to invite the
Judges on the beech to exPode them ,

strictures were well merited, is \ the 05), m- inde'endence of the shadowy insurgent

and the court which summoned, without
a preliminary oath and a judicial hear
ing; any citizen or citizens, and especi
ally the editors of the press, to the bar of
this /court' and thus branded thein as
criminals: •
I would rather-suffer unjust and even
i mprudent - criticiiim than violate a great
'principle, for I know that sooner or later
an act of injustice will be rectified by an
enligtiteisi eel public opinton,•wh Ile a viola
tion of a principle not only Inflicts a mor
tal wound upon fhe cause of the liberty
of. the press and of tbe citizen, but that
wound would fbe inflicted' by the arm
sworn to protect and defend both. •
Judge LUDLOW then observed that "the
„powers of a Grand Jury are by no means
as extensive as is sometimes supposed."
To be exactly accurate, he \
\emoted the
Nk
definitions as ably laid down by \ Judge
c esso
Krzzo, and as since sustained by, his sue= 1
i
rs. ,
These rules requiring a preliminary
Information and commitment, had three
exceptions: lot, the Courts may, of their
own motion, call the attention of jurors
to matters of general public Import,
bearing on things rather than persons,
the object being the suppression .of gen
eral and public evils, "such as grealriots,
general public nuisances, multiplied and .
flagrant public vices • and the like." In
such cases, the Court may summon and
swear witnesses,and send thein before the
Jury. (The Judge don't go himself!) But,
added the Judge :
"This course is never adopted in cases
of ordinary crimes chanted against indi
viduals, because it would Involve, to a
certain extent, the expression of opinion
by anticipation of facts subsequently to
come before the courts for direct j mtg.
ment, and because such cases present
none'of those urgent necessities which
authorize a departure Prim the ordinary
:course of justice. In directing any of
these invostigations the Court acts under
their official responsibilitlns, and must
answer for any 'Step taken not justified
by the proper exereise of a soulid judicial
discretion.
• 2nd. The - ) Attorney General may, ex
officio,- prefer an indictment before the
•
jay, without a previous binding over or
commitment of the seemed. This power
must be, and Is, cautiously exercised,
that`oilicer beizig responsible both to the
State and to an aggrieved citizen. ,
Brd. The other and last method is by a
presentment from the jury, on their own
knoieledge orsobservation Without any bill
•1:: , f indictment first laid before them.
And the 'ridge added:
"Your power, you will observe, is lim
ited to the case in which you act "from
your own knowledgeor observation," or
upon matters given you in charge by the
Court, and "the Court have no power ex
cept incases "of great riota that shake
the social &brio, carrying terror and Or
May among citizens, general publicMuis
ances affecting public health, multiplied
and flagrant vices," and I add upon my
own responsibility, in cases where, by
`the action of the Government, the per
sonal liberty of all citizens is endan
gered,and the like.
The\concluding paragraph of Judge
LllDLOW'S'opinion is worthy of special
attention in this and at this June
lure., Observe:
I. ought further to'sadd that It is a se
rioas offence for any jott to attempt
directly to influence Grand Jurors in
their action on any quastionbefore them.
If any such attempt has been Made, and
„is within your own knowledge, un: , l the
fact being established by the oath of o • or:
more of your own number, taken befo
you, a presentment may be made to the
Court, whereupon an Indictment am
h a y may may be framed, and if the eparty
shall upon trial be convicted, the offence
will most certainly be punished ficoord
kg to law.
