Pierce and his Cabinet appear to be in
a dilemma. The American construction
OF the Clayton Bulwer treaty, is that nei-
ther of the contracting powers shall inter.
fere in Central American affairs. Brit ain
assumes to claim the protectorate of Mos
quito as ever, to which Pierce and adyi-
sers object as an infraction of the treaty.
A majority of the Cabinet at Washing
ton are IT. favor of the recognition of the
Rivas- Walker government. But such re-
cognition would be virtual though indi.
rect interference in Nicaraguan affairs
The assumption by the American govern.
ment of the protectorate of the fillibuster
rule, is liable to be construed by Eng
land into violation of treaty obliga-
tions as understood by both the contract
ing parties. At best foreign affairs are
somewhat complicated, and ifthe admin
lstration succeeds in worming its way out
it will deserve credit for diplomatic engi-
neering.
Something must be done to enhance the
chances of Pierce in the Cincinnati Con-
vention; the public mind must be turned
into another channel, that the fermentation
may cease on the Kansas-Slavery question;
but whatever action is taken by the au-
thorities at Washington on the Central
American question, the government is Ell
ther tacitly willing to allow, or pow
erless to prevent, sufficient accretions
to the ranks of Walker to secure, the eli
mate permitting his final success. None
can doubt in such an event, the annexation
OF the fillibuster government to our own.
Every circumstance tends directly to such
a result. Manifest destiny is not hard to
believe.

jury DUTY.-I 1t is generally conceded
that the state of affairs at San Francisco
which called for self constituted tribu-
nal for the administration OF justice, was
owing mainly to the failure on the part OF
good citizens to perform, when required
the duties of jurors. 1t is notorious, that
m every town of importance, the business
men-men of character and standing
men who are interested more than anv
others in the administration of justice,
shirk from the duties they owe the COM
munity and themselves, in not taking their
places in the jury box when empanneled.
1t is SO here, to certain extent; it is
SO everywhere. A frivolous excuse has
many times prevented their names being
taken by the sheriff, and when that will
not do, cock and bull story is forth
coming, which generally sufices.
Look at our juries-do you see the men
OF means, character and influence, exercis-
ing the duties of peers in the trial of their
fellows!
In nine cases out of ten, they are men
caught up because they having nothing
else to do, and are wholly unfit by habit
and inclination to determine what meas
ure of justice, if any at all, should be me-
ted out to the delinquent or offender
The right sort of material to constitute
jury is too often wanting in our courts
This cannot be denied. 1t is the theme of
comment everywhere. So evident is the
fact, that the phrase s'it is saf fer to bet on
horse race, than the decisions of a petit
jury" has become sterreotyped. We
have often heard it repeated, and know
that contempt for juries and their decis-
ions is felt in the community in which we
live. N wonder that the jury system as
carried out, has fallen in the stimation of
the people whose fault it is, that the sys-
tenn of degraded Justice in many parts of
the State has become mockery. Much
OF the evil has been caused by the elec-
ton OF bad men to administer the laws.
but more by the avoidance of labors re-
sponsible and disagreeable, but neverthe-
less necessary to be done, and obligatory
on every good citizen desirous of seeing
the laws enforced properly and efficiently,
to perform.
1t every tax payer would resolve to sac
rifice portion of his valuable time and
his private interest for the public good.
and shoulder all the responsibilities which
as patriotic citizen, he owes society.
there need be no fear of a necessity aris-
ing for the imitation of such proceedings
as have been enacted in San Francisco du-
ring the last few weeks. The fault, after
all, of the mal-administratlon of the laws.
lies in the people. 1t is time that they
applied the remedy which lies in their
power. A proper application will restore
justice to its legitimate channels, from
which it never more need to deviate.
Sheriffs and Constables should receive
no excuse, but one known to be valid. in
summoning jury, and the courts should
retain every respectable man possible, for
jury duty.
Juries can be made efficient for good.
and the people are culpable if they do not
make them so.
