from the most experienced gentlemen of our
bar, from those who for years have sat upon
the Bench, who have grown gray in the
profession, that a "Strnck Jury" is always
confined to the one case to try which it was
smpaEnelled. Ordinarily the term
dockets do not embrace cases resting upon
like facts, and the claim of the District At
torney that the "Sruck Jury" is for the term,
while it would be novel, would not, as a
matter OF course, be glaringiy unjust, but
IN this instance it is moustrous.
When the defendants found that the Dis
trict Attorney, in his madnsss, was deter
mined to put them through the wretched
farce of pretended tri ial, while the verdict
of guilty had been already pronounced by
the jury before whom they were to be ar
raigned, they abandoned their defence, and
Judge Spalding said, in behalf of the de-

1t should be understood that the operation
of these famous pills is not limited to the
cure Of those violent internal distempers for
which they are successfully administered in

as an immediate corrective in the minor all

them most unreservedly as the very best

country. The time mnst come when the

/ ESs~ The Southern Citizen " is at an end It's last
number has been issued John Mitchell goes to Europe,
and Mr.. Swami goes to Tennessee.
The Nea0 York Day Book will be supplied to the sub
scribers of the Citizen. The Southern Citizen was too
fast, both in foreign and domestic politics A good
many people in the United States do not like England
in fact there have arisen too many causes of quarrel
and there are too many now in existence to admit
of any great amount of cordalty, still there is no
persistent phobia, that would our peo
pie to sympathise with the constant rawlings of gentle
man who had suffered for political offence under the
British law. Mr.. Mtches being sent to the Australian
penal colonies may have been uncomfortable to Mr.
Mitchel-it may have been unjust to Mr. Mitchell but
it but event-a circumstance of certain mag
nitude and no more-not one around which the whole
history of the world revoves in which everybody is
to be expected to take exclusive personal Interest,"
Therefore Mr. Mitchell mistaken in supposing that
the people of the United States would take much in
terest in reading his diatrbes against England, he
took in writing them. The same will apply in some
degree to his articles devoted to domestic poll
tics. 1t might be right enough for one who had
suffered for attempt to free Ireland from what he
sdered the oppression of the English government TO
gard that government as the enemy OF the people OF
Ireland. Certainly, however, it was all wrong for Mr.
Mitchell to transfer his anagonism to British rule, to
the government of the United States; yet to great
extent such was his course. No administration that
enforced the laws could possibly please him-under the
of Southern Citizen his paper out-Heroded Herod
and went farther than any party at the South could pos
sibly sustain. For Mr.. Mtchel's talents and fearless
ness in the expression OF his opinions have the high
est respect vet candOr compe US to say that we could
attach little Importance to his judgment any matter
where passion prejudice might interfere
The Day Book is strong advocate of Southern
rights and WILL suppose be acceptable to the subscr
bers of the Citizen.

bSH Our contemporary of the Raleigh Register is ex-
ced-very much so indeed, and he spreads himself
cordngly In truth there some reason for his excite
ment For the first time in years he has a tangible
success to record. Somebody has gained advantage
over the Democratic party in North Carolina. Who
that somebody is-ay that somebody has gainedthese
are secondary matters compared with the fact that De-
mocracy has suffered for opposition for its own sake
opposition to Democracy is the animatng spirit of
great many politicians in North Carolina and elsewhere.
The Democrats of North Carolina have cause for re-
gret, but none for dependency. The State is Demo.
cratic and it depends upon the party itself to recover all
its ascendency, and if necessary, increase it. Indeed
the effects of the late election may be rather beneficial
than otherwise, in the long feeling of overconf-
dence had be relaxed and the
necessary for to be neglected. Instead of adj
herring rgdy to the rules and principles of the Demo-
cratic party 100 much Difference has been paid to this
or that particular politician, whose wishes interests,
real or imaginary might be supposed to stand in the
way of rigid adherence to such rules or principles
Forewarned is orearmed. The Democrats must now
be aware that power only be preserved by the
means through which it acqured-the same energy
the same zeal-the same devotion to the cause.-The
abnegatOn of scthe same careful respect for the
will of the people
When these facts have been impressed upon the Dem
ocratc peope-when the necessity for organized and
concentrated effort has been made fully apparent it is
difficult to set bounds to the recuperave energy of tie
party We have seen it in far worse straits than this
have it spring up from far deeper depression to
the achievement of triumphs and fresh Victories
While the Democratic party of North Carolina remains
true to ITSELF its permanent ascendency cannot be eop
ardized BY any merely temporary checks.
