DESTRUCTION OF THE NEW QUARANTINE

The proposed removal of the quarantine at New York
to the grounds at seguns Point owned by IDOL
plus Wolfe, has caused such ement in that vicinity
as has led to the temporary destruction of the quaran-
tine buildings by mob. The buildings were on We'd
nesday night set fire and demolished in short time
The mob then set fire to the house. occupied by the
farmer having charge of the place. and also set fire to
the dwenghouse, stables, and outsheds The inmates
of the house had barely time to escape The loss will
amount to about $4,000 in all.
The premises are located about fifteen miles from the
Staten Island landing directly opposite the Princess
Bay Lighthouse. The citizens in and about the place
in the greatest state of excitement The persons
who engaged in the work said to be known and
steps will be taken to have them all arrested Many of

COMMON SENSE VIEWS.
FROM THE NEW YORK SUN.

FROM THE NEW SUN.
HAD AN OPINION is the objection on which long
list Of gentlemen set aside as incompetent to serps as
jurors on the trial of Mrs. Cunningham We recognise
at once the justice of the principle lawch excludes
persons whose minds prejudieed from serving on
uries; but prejudice and opinion differ widely It one
thing to PREJUDICE person accused of crme-for pre-
Judging implies that the mind has reached definite
clusions-and quite different thing to form an onnon
OF published statements without the mind receiving the
strong personal bias which constitutes what we call
Judice Intelligent men cannot read evidence without
forming an opinion of its value or its appearance of
cluslyeness and we have but little respect for the udp
ment OF men who read without thinking of what
read without questioning its accuracy or crehil;ty
The men who are capable of forming an opinion with
out prejudice, or of Judging of the evidence and its
herence are just the kind of who should sit as in
to try grave accusations We verify believe
the most frequent of ures disagreene and of ms
tice failing to attain its ends is the constitutional in
competency of minds compare and weigh evidence
and deduce conclusions thererom with perfect confidence
In their correctness. Men with minds thus constitute ed
form the class who are really incompetent to act as
jurors In difficult cases. and yet they the class from
whom the lawyers love to compose juries
Instead OF seeking to make uries represent the
highest intelligence of the people, the constant effort of
advocates is to keep this kind of intelligence out of the
jury box, and to fill it with whose judgments they
can sway or perver by the advocates art As their OBJ
ject is to secure an acquitta cannot censure them
strongly for avang themselves of all the aids which
the law and the custom of the courts allow but the law
should be amended, that while prejudice personal
feeling, personal interest would be held as disqua
cations, the fact that had allowed his mind
to weigh and estimate the worth of statements published
IN the newspapers would not of ITSELF constitute dis
qualification to act juror.
Our great criminal trials often approach to the cha
raoter OF stupendous and expensive farces carried
more for the display of talents of eminent counsel
for the public entertainment than the guilt
or innocence of the accused and to vndcate the
Of justice Surely if it be desirable have the highest
intelligence on the BENCH it is equally desirable have
men OF acute minds and clear judgment in the jury box
The public interests demand it, 1t is essential to due
administration of the laws and the repression of
crime While every proper safeguard should be thrown
around the rights of persons accused of crime crime
itself should not find protection in the costly machinery
professedly constructed to the efficient admins
