Yesterday morning tho Grand Jury which has been in session during tho present term of tho Stato Circuit Court, was discharged from further attendance, at the court and pre sented tho following as its final report 1 In tho Circuit Court of tho Stato of Oregon for tho county of Multnomah t ' To the Hon. IMeltjh Stotl, Jmije of the ahove' enllllcil Court: Tho Grand Jury of tho county of Mult, nomali respectfully submit tho following ro port of its labors as such Grand Jury, duly empaneled and sworn nt tho October term of tlio Circuit Court of tho Stato nf Oregon in and for said county of Multnomah : IltrslNKS AtVOMt'LISIIKII. Tho Grand Jury has been engaged in its labors for thirty-four days, and during that timo has examined an Immense number of witnesses and as a result thereof has returned into court forty-seven indictments indorsed "true bills," nml seven of tho cases hitherto held to appear hy tho soveral examining mag. istrates of tho county havo been returned en dorsed "not truo bills," besides which a largo number of cases have been examined that h.1,1 not been hitherto examined into by nny ex amining magistrate, and in which we 'havo not deemed thero was siillicient testimony to warrant tno mining 01 truo inns, rtniLitt miit.iiiNiis ami offices. After having examined and disposed of tho business pro'cntcd for our examination hy District Attorney John l Caplcs, and also tlio several complaining witnesses wo have proceeded to inspect the various public build im:, institutions and ollices in tho county with tho following results 1 C1TV J.VII, OF I'OIITI.ANII. Wo found this institution under tho ehargo of J. It. Lappcus, Chief of I'olico of tho City of Portland, and wero conducted through its several departments hy Mr. 11. !'. Goodwin, tho gentlemanly Ijook-kocpcr, who ointcd out to tho jury soma contemplated improve ments, which havo for their object tlio im provement of tho sanitary condition of tho jirison. its rcganis cleanliness, wo found tho ail in an excellent condition and overt- re gard paid to tho comfort of tho tinforttinato inmates thereof, that is consistent with their safo-kccping. IIOSI'IT.U, FOR TIIK ISOANK. Wo can only say of tho Asylum what wo have already said of the City Jail.and add, tlmt so far as wo could judge from a singlo inspec tion, wo havo 110 hesitancy in saying that tho Insane Asylum under charge of Dr. J. C. Ilatvthnrno and Hon. John Kennedy, his effi cient and hiimano Superintendent, is an insti tution that the Stato of Oregon may well ho proud of. Wo found nearly .100 patients all well cared for.

We mado a wit ness of ijr. Murrray, the book-keeper, who pointed and explained to tho full satis'a-tion ot tho Jury tho various accounts of tlio ledger. Tho books aro certainly Intelligently nml sys tematically kept. Wo wcro conducted through tho buildings and over tho farm and found tho public property well cared for nnd everything in first-class condition, indeed un der Mr. Cloghorn's manauemeui it appears it isall tlmtitisiutcndcditshoutdhohv thociti ions of this county, who havo so cheerfully nnd abundantly given so many thousand of dol lars of their money for its support ami tho re lief of tho poor iinfoitonates who aro thero cared for from timo to time, orrices ok tiik vlkiik, siif.iiifk, tiikasviikr AMI A.HSKSSOII, Wo havo inspected tho offices nnd examined tho Itooksot those olliccrs, and they nil nppcar to bo in good condition, tlio record correctly and neatly kept, and tho olliccrs themselves courteous and attentive to tlio public who call there on business. TUB COUNTV JAIL Wo find under tho Immediato ehargo of Mr. T. D. Me.Maiius, Jailor, who, wo believe, ex erts every cflbrt consistent with tho security of tho prisoners to mako them contfortablo and presvrvo their health. Shcrill' Iluchtcl recommended and tho County Clerk ha re ccntly ordered some ncocsiary improvements and repairs to tho jail, which, in our judg ment, will render tho saino inoro secure. Hut tho Grand Jury ha still a further recontmen- dation to make. Wo find 110 provision mado whereby persons who nro merely held a wit nesses, nnd who aru unable to give bond for their aptiearanco, can ho securely kopt with out incarcerating thcni in tho cells of tho common criminal. It matters not how res pectablo this class of persons may bo, if they aro so poor or unfortunate as not to ho able to give bonds, they are submitted to thu saino treatment, consigned to tho saino cell and compelled to nociato with tho burglar nnd horse-thief. This we deem to ho wrong. Xo person, in our judgment, should ho to pun ished, simply on account of hi ovcrty or misfortune, and wo recommend that a room " fitted up in tho jail for tho safekeeping of this class of iiorsoiii hero referred to, which wo think can ho douo at an outlay not ex ceeding ten dollars. TELErilOXIC COJIMl'SICATIOy, Tho Jury recommend that tho Sheriff ' of flco bo immediately connected with police headquarter by the telephone, as tho Jailor is tlio only person in or about tho Court House (except prisoners) during the night in tho event of a tire, or tho sickness or .l.-ath of a -prisoner, sueh as has recently occurred at the Jail. Ho is compelled t leave his post lor the purpose of summoning assistance, or await the accidental coming of some person to render relief. TIIK 1'l'llLlO KKVESOK. The jury has had but a limited timo for tho investigation of this subject, Lut frcm tho knowledge it has, it rests in tho belief that tlio taxo in the maiu are faithfully collected and iudiciously expended. We nre com pelled to sutc.liotvcver, that in tlio collection of poll-tax, we find great looseness and want i Jy ,ni! aml "10 Jllry recommend that one ol the clerks in tho office of the Assessor be appointed a special deputy sheriir for this business; that tho County Court prepare, or cause tho same to bo done, all receipt books for poll-taxes! that they may lie signed by tlw Clerk of the County Court and issued to the Assessor as needed, who in turn shall couuter sign tho saino when he issues them to the tax payers that tho Assessor lio charged with all receipts iiied to him and lidaemnni. ,-r,litl at the close of the year hy the receipts returned and cash paid iu, and thus balance his accounts.
