the pay Of jurors, summoned to attend our
courts In criminal cases. Various persons are
summoned, and that BY the order Of the court.
those summoned are generally unable to lose
the time from home. TheH daily avocation
require that they should lose but little time,
but your eourtsrsquire them to stop everything
and come into court, to be asked the question,
" whether they have formed or expressed an
opinion IN regard to the guilt OF innocence Of
some seoundreL Now, sir, ny opinion 10 they
should be rewarded, and the property Of our
counties should pay for their time, az Justly re-
marked by my friend from Haywood. Gentle
men opposed TO this amendment contend that
the cos. viii be too great. But, sir, tails ar
gament Of cost says, in effect, that the iaboc-
ing men OF the country shall bear all the bur
thsns-ahd the wealthy none In these particG-
lar cases. Therefore, believing that this
amendment is right In principle, and demanded
BY the law OF common justice, to those per-
sous who have to leave their homes, to " dance

most eheerfully give it my support.
Mr.. Richardson alleged that these men were
not Jurors, till they were brought into the pan
mel. 1t were as reasonable to pay the cleo
tioReering expenses of an ofiee-seeker, as to
pay a juror before he is required to serve.
Mr.. Bradford replied and said
Mr.. Speaker: The distinguished gentleman
from Rutherford (Mr. richardson runs an
analogy between the ofiee-seeker and the
Juror. Sir, there is no analogy. The politi-
clan seeks Office without. compulsion. The
juror Is summoned under penalty Of a hne. II
s a matter Of choices with the politician. II
tue juror refuses, it is at bis peril. II this is
the strongest argument gentlemen can make,
they should support the amendment. My ven
srabie friend from Madison (Mr. Bdlloch)
says it would bankrupt the country. Then he
admits that there Is an amount Of labor lost,
which, 4 paid for, would break a whole eoun-
try. Now, / will ask him; Should the few
men who bear this enormous burden make tde
entire sacrifice, or should not the wealth Of the
country bear a portion Of il? He says l must
have been in a hot place when / took this posi-
tion at home. l reply, that he viii be In a
hotter position when he goes back and meets
those broad sh0aldered yeomanry.
Mr.. St John alleged the justice Of requiring
Of every man some sacrifice for the common
