OhM jury N eEas
A bill has passed the House TO tax the
per diem Of iuries during the the whole
time they may be employed in the trial,
on the parties 20 suits. Hitherto, no mat
ter how proracted the trial, the parties to
the suit have only paid fifty cents to each
jurymOu, and the balance fell on the coun-
ty. The measure is an important one,
and will relieve the people from heavy
charge.
Il is difficult to see why litgants should
put the expense Of their private eontro-
versies on the people at large, The inn
propriety Of this viii doubtless be conced-
ed generally. But tits said, jurymen have
10 be kept in court, in waiting, aud il is
quite as just that litigants should pay their
quota for the support Of the jury during
the intervals when unemployed; while
this cannot be equitably distributed.-
True, but this is poor reason against
taxing the litigants with what is accu-
rately know to have occurred from their
cases. Il is also argued, why tax the lit
igants with jury costs, when the salaries
Of tho Judges are paid by the STATED Why
not also charge them with their proper
quota Of the pay Of the Judges, in proper
ton TO the time occupied II would be
difficult to answer that argument, and we
can only say QuieR 5aIs9 Not propos-

cause all cannot be had at once.-O s..

The Di,unIom Democrnoy,

Another proof that the Democracy are
seeking to Dissolve the Union and plunge
the nation into civil war, (for the one
will produce the other) is found in the
fact that nearly every Democrat in the
House at Washington voted for Hamilton
Of Texas for Speaker, who afterwards de-
clOred that he was an open and avOwed
Disunionist. Let the Union-sSving peo-
pie Of Ohio remember thispregnant fact .
