COURT PROCEEDINGS.
CHARGE OF JUDGE PEARSON.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury :
Permit me to congratulate you on our first
meeting in this beautiful, spacious and commo
dious court room. It contrasts most favorably
with the contracted and ill planed structures
heretofore used in our county, and probably a
better room for public accommodation cannot
be found in the State of Pennsylvania. The
great size will permit all to enter WllO have
business to transact or even curiosityto gratify;
and the vast number of convenient seats, with
abundance of light and ventilation, will enable
all to remidu in comfort. Not only is the bir
large and conveniently arranged, but that por
tion of the room allotted to the general audience
is still more extended. We deem it to be the
right and privilege of the tax-payers of the
county, when brought to the seat of justice fur
the transaction of business, to receive prop r
accommodations ; and when seats are provided
for all, there is no excuse for that constant con
fusion which Is created in an assembly by mul
titudes moving to and fro. But it is not to the
court-room alone that we desire to direct your
attention ; the whole building is constructed
with a view both to architectural beauty and
proportion, and to convenience and fitness for
the purpose of its erectiun. You will find the
offices large, commodious and well-arranged,
with abundance of book and paper cases for
keeping the records and other public documents.
They are said to be entirely fire-proof, thus se
curing all the papers of the county from the
danger of destruction in the event of a confla
gration. The room set apart for the use of the
grand jury is spacious, comfortable, well lighted
and ventilated, with chambers at each side for
the accommodation of male and female wit
nesses, so that the public business need not be
delayed, as heretofore, whilst your messenger
is hunting them through the court-room and
the neighboring taverns. There are some four
or five well-planed traverse jury rooms, with
accommodations to render those persons com
fortable who are often necessarily confined for
long periods in the dicision of difficult causes.
On the second story of the building a room
has been prepared in which it is expected that
all the argument courts will be held, thus sav
ing a very considerable expense to the county
in heating and cleaning the large court room.
A chamber has been prepared, in convenient
proximity to this court room, for the accommo
dation of female witnesses, during the time they
are in attendance on the court, and another ad
joining the bar, for the use of the members
thereof, when not engaged in the trial of causes,
where they can comfortably confer with each
other and with their clients on matters of busi
ness, without interrupting that which is under
investigation here. The constant flow of con
versation within the bar has a strong tendency
to encourage the whole audience in like habits,
and thus the court room, which should be as
orderly and quiet as a church, is rendered little
better thin a pnblitoote,-- It eutpaatedl.
that a law library will, in the course of tune,
be placed in the consultation room for the use
of the court and bar when engaged in the trial
of causes. Within the extensive walls of this
building, you will perceive, are rooms set apart
for city purposes, in one of which the city coun
cil meets; another, rendered fire and thief-proof,
is occupied by the city treasurer, and a third by
the city surveyor, and within the vaults under
the building are strong cells, intended as places
of temporary confinement for city prisoners and
vagrants held in custody by the Mayor and Al
dermen.
It may occur to you that the people of the
county at large should not be taxed with the
construction of rooms intended mainly for city
accommodation, which to all very true; but the
county interests will always be carefully looked
after by the commissioners, who must exact a
reasonable rent from the city for the use of
those portions of the building—probably more
than sufficient to pay the interest on their pro
portion of the cost. Besides, the people of the
county are deeply interested in the public order
and well-being of the city, which is the general
seat of justice for the whole, and this city pays
a very large amount of the county taxes. But
without the exaction of rent, the dedication of
a county building to city purposes would be
both improper and illegal.
Although the plan of the present court house
never met my approbation, being more extend
ed and enlarged than is now required by the
wants of the community, and more expensive
than suits the means of the treasury or the ap
probation of the tax-payers, yet I am by no
means prepared to say that the course pursued
by the County Commissioners in constructing a
building of sufficient magnitude not only to
meet the wants of the present generation, but
of those to come, was either unwise or impoli
tic. The expenses of the erection will, ton con
siderable extent, be thrown on posterity, and
it may be therefore a work of wisdom and bre
sight to build the house of such size as to require
no enlargement to accommodate a greatly in
' creased population, such as we may expect to
'reside in Dauphin county half a century hence,
should our Government hold together and court
' houses be required at that time. No inconsid- -
erable portion of the expense has been incurred
in ornamental work, mainly intended for the
adornment of the structure. But even that
I should not be considered a waste ofpublic mon
ey. It must be borne in mind that we reside
at the Capital of the State, where Nags are
collected together from the most dititaTir parts
and places, and our public buildings are seen,'
examined and imitated by many. Our city, is
rapidly improving, and with that improvement
Is growing up increased taste in architecture,
so that adornment teemed to
.be an essential,
unless we are contented to have our public edi
fices surpassed by private enterprise. And here
permit me to say a word as to the comparative
cost of this and our old court house,and the abil
lity of the people of the county to meet the ex
pense of the pre.sent, as compared with the former
building. The central portion of the old house
was commenced in 1794; and completed about,
the year 1797. It was a plain, oblong, square
structure ; the projections back and front, to
gether with the wings for offices, being added
at an after period. The central building cost
as well as can be discovered from the county
records, $17,500 ; the additions back and front,
$2,530 12 ; and the wings, $3,027 33 ; making
in all for the old building, $23,059 53. The

was valued at $189,400, paying a county',
tax of $lB9 40. It now contains 3,184 taxable
inhabitants ; the property is valued at $3,279,-
690 ; yielding a county tax of $16,398 45.
So it would seem that the number of inhabi
tants,the. value of taxable property, and amounts
of county rates paid by this city at the present
time, greatly exceeds the whole population,
valuation and taxes assessed in the entire coun
ty, including that of Lebanon, in 1795, when
the old court house was built. We may also
very s Ifely aver that there are more than fifty
dollars now in circulation in this county for
one at that period. The people, therefore,
need not i.e alarmed at the expense of a build
ing costing about three times that of the old
court house.
When *e come to examine the amount of bu
siness transacted within the walls of the court
house then and now, we shall find the disparity
equally great. The whole number of charges
preferred in the criminal courts in 1796, includ
ing all cases sent to the Grand Jury, was 72, of
which about 30 were returned true bills. Those
in the year 1860 amounted to 316, of which
140 were found true bills, and had to be tried.
In that year the number of entries on the civil
docket was 399, whilst those of 1860 were 1460,
and in 1869 were 1679. The courts in 1795 met
but four times a year, and, so far as we can as
certain from the minutes, sat on an average
less than one week of a term. We at present
hold about twenty weeks of court annually for
iury trials, besides the vast deal of time spent
in argument courts. So that whether we look
to the number of population, the means of the
people, the value of property, or the amount of
business transacted in our court house and pub
lic offices now in comparison with former times,
we need not be surprised at the increased size
or expense of the present building. It had be
come a public necessity. We must bear in
mind that when it was commenced no one fore
saw that the country was about to be plunged
into a bloody and expensive war, and could
that have been foreseen it would certainly have
been the duty of the county officers, as it would
have been the wish of this court, and of the
people, to have postponed the work ; but eventu
ally the wants and necessities of the commubi
ty would have demanded its erection. As none
of us are gifted with foreknowledge, censure
should not be thrown on the County Commis
sioners for commencing when they did.
The original contract for the erection of the
present building was $67,012 57, to which ex
tras have been added for preparing the cells for
the safe keeping of prisoners, rendering the
City Treasurer's office fire proof, and putting
up the various closets, paper cases, tables,&c., in
the offices, with numerous other smaller items, to
the amount of $10,368 66, making in all $67,-
371 12. This does not include the introduction
of the gas, price of fixtures, bell, fencing, fur
niture, paving, &c., amounting in all to about
$6,000 more. These articles were also omitted
in estimating the cost of the old court house.
Of the legality and fairness of these contracts
for building the house, and allowance of extras,
we do not pr.itend to' express any opinion, as
much .ioo to
itisof
o. in au co u rt y in
course 'of litigation;
the o
w n;ll 2(" ut
de
also
and workmanship of the structure, and we
think that you will find the one by no means
objectionable, furnishing as it does almost every
necessary comfort and convenience, and the
other of the very best quality generally; there
may be some few exceptions.
The people of the county may perhaps even
tually conclude that in the building as it now
stands they have received the worth of their
money, even if obliged to pay the bills in full
according to the contracts. But of that neither
you nor we are called upon now to decide, nor
would it be prudent for either to express an
opinion. It is certainly much cheaper, better
built, and more convenient than the Court
Houses in most of the neighboring counties.
As the house is neat, clean and well finished,
the walls, seats, and other portions handsome
ly painted, varnished and ornamented we du
i cerely hope that every one will abstain from
marking or scraping the walls or wood work,
and take particular care to observe cleanliness
in regard to the floors, carpets and matting. It
can thus be preserved both seemly in appear
' twee, and pleasant and healthy to occupy.
Our nation is now engaged in a fearful,
bloody, and as we apprehend, protracted war,
forced upon it without cause or reason by the
so called Confederate States.
It is the bounden duty of the Federal gov
ernment to use every possible exertion, and
strain every nerve, to suppress the rebellion, re
store the Union, and re-establish the Constitu
Lion over the whole 'United States, and it is
equally the duty of every citizen to contribute
towards the support of a benificent, paternal
and most indulgent government, in every way
that his circumstances will permit; aiding It in
the good work to the utmost of his power, and
most carefully abstaining from uttering a word,
promulgating a sentiment, or doing an act
which may tend to create disorder or anarchy,
or in any way strengthen the hands of the ene
my, or weaken the power of - the government.
It is made highly penal by our laws to carry
on any traitorous correspondence with enemies
of the United States, or of this State; to fur
nish them with any article whatever which
may aid in the war, whether it be men, money,
military stores, food or clothing. It is also a
high misdemeanor to endeavor to dissuade any
person from entering into the military service
of the United States, or from joining any vol
unteer company or association of this State
about to be mustered into service; or to pur
suede any one to abandon his flag or with
draw fr...m any volunteer company or associa
tion already organized under the laws of this
Commonwealth. Although freedom of speech
and liberty of the press are secured by our con
stitution and laws, and great latitude is allow
ed to the one and the other, yet at a time when
l g
the abuse of eith may tend to destroy or
weaken the go v
ent of the country, both
are very pro y curtailed by legislation.
Therefore, if - any one by printing, writing or
speaking should create disaffection among the
soldiers, and induce them to desert their duty,
or endeavor to prevent persons from entering
the service, they would render themselves
ameanable to the law. Should lihv assist in
levying war against the United States , otadhere
to the enemy, giving them aid and comfort,
even by furnishing any information, they would
be guilty of high treason.
In a moral, political and legal point of view
it is the duty of every good and loyal citizen,
and especially of those conducting the news
paper press, to abstain from doing that which
may distract the public councils or lead the
enemy to believe that we are devided in opinion
on the subject of the war, or the necessity of
carrying it on with vigor o a final consumma
tion.
It is said that secret orders exist in our State,
having for their object the subversion of the
Government, in whole or in part. If such be
the case they ought to be suppressed, andlhore
who form, or meet with them, whether they
rattily do any act of injury or not, are guilty

thiown into our city, both on the going out
and return of the volunteers, and considering
all the circumstances they have mostly behaved
with order and decorum ; of course there were
many exceptions, arising for the most part from
intoxication. But even when exasperated at
the detention in receiving their pay, often suf
firing from want of food, and under the excite
ment of intoxicating liquors they showed for
the most part the forbeance and love of order
for which the people of Pennsylvania are noted.
Much praise is due to our citizens for their
kindness in supplying the wants of these men
and to that it is probable we are mainly indebt=
ed for the safety of the city.
"Whilst on this subject I wish to direct your
at Lion to the venders of intoxicating liquors
thrhughont the county and more especially in
and around Harrisburg. Care in giving out so
dangerous an article should be observed at all
tides, but more especially at the present when
the, country is filled with newly levied soldiers,
who with arms in their hands, and unrestrain
edby regular military discipline, aro most dan
gerous to the community when in a state of in
toxication. It therefore behoves every one en
trusted by law with the sale of intoxicating
liquors, to be strictly on his guard when the
dty is surrounded with camps, and our streets
Idled with their wandering inmates. Many of
the crimes which will come under your consid
ation at the present term, including murder,
riot- and other violent offences, are justly
chargeble to the culpable violation of law by
the liquor dealers, who furnished intemperate
and intoxio.ited soldiers with the p tations
which rendered them barbarous and desperate.
It is your duty to hold these dealers with a
strong hand, and a tight rein, and as far as
practicable punish every violation of law and
iefraction of duty on their part. They are en
gaged in a tram dangerous to themselves and
to the community in which they live, and
should ever bear in mind that they will not
only be held responsible to the criminal law for
furnishing liquor to those in estate of inebriety,
or who are habitually intemperate, but will
also he civilly answerable in damages for all
the injury done to the person or property of
any one, by those who they have rendered vol
untary demons. The law holds them equally
sponsible with the man who does the injury,
or deals the blow.. •
• juott at, the- time when the public safety de
mands the greatest care and circumspection on
the part of the dealer, is the time they assume
the greatest license. We have, it is true, a few
honorable exceptions, but such is the course
pursued by those who look more to profit than
to principle or prudence.

ARREST OF A SECESSION OFFICES
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26
A young man, named William L Johnson, a
nephew of the rebel General Johnston, was ar
rested by officers Smith and Taggert, last night,
at the Pennsylvania Railroad depot, just ae he
had purchased tickets for Louisville, Ky. John
ston was taken to the Central Station where his
baggage was searched and whetekita-mr4l4a
derwent a abidt examination. A mirntier of
letters•directe I to prominent people in the south
and a map of the seat of war in Virginia were
found. The prisoner was taken to Moyamens
ing.
Johnston is a grandson of Mrs. Henry D.
Gilpin, of this city. Upon the breaking out
of the war he received a Lieutenant's commis
sion in the Confederate army and he was with
Beauregard at Manassas. This fact caused much
uneasiness to hi, grandmother, and she deter
mined to procure his discharge, if possible. A
lady friend of Mrs. Gilpin attempted to accom
plish this object, and, in a carriage, she suc
ceeded in working her way through both lines,
and into the rebel camp. Here she bad an in
terview with Beauregard, who received her with
much politeness, and p omised to take the case
into consideration, and, if possible, to comply
with the request of the relative of the young
man. After waiting for some time without
hearing from Beauregard, application was made
to Gen. Lee, and he complied with the request
of the friends of Johnston, and discharged him
from the service. He then joined his mother,
at Warrentown, Va., and three weeks ago be
succeeded in reaching Philadelphia, where he
has made his home with Mrs Gilpin.
