Costs Of Litigation.

A heavy item of expense to the community
is'the cost of maintaining the civil courts.
The class of community who receive the ben
efts of these courts, and who occupy almost
their entire time, form but very limited pro-
portion of the population, yet the vast ex-
pense is borne by the whole mass of the peo-
pie. The majority are thus compelled to
submit to an enormous taxation to pay for
that for which they receive no compensatory
benefit This is plainly unjust, and may be
very easily remedied. 1t is not difficult by
reference to the records of these courts, to
ascertain the average cost of maintaining
them and to estimate very nearly what court
fee, regularly chargeda at the docketing of leach
suit, would cover this expense. By such a
system the support of the civil tribunals
would fall upon those for whose benefit they
are instituted, and substantial justice be done
to the non-litigant masses of taxpayers.

EConstitutional Convention.

The proceedings in this body yesterday
wire brief.
n The Committee on Rules reported reso-
Aution, which was adopted, that after the
various Articles of the Constitution passed
through Committee of the Whole they be
tabled to await further amendment and final
action.
The Bill of Rights was discussed in Com
mittee of the Whole. Several Intellectual at
tempts were made by amendment to express
the acknowledgment of the supreme authority
of the United States, in language sufficiently
unmistakable, and finally Special Commit
tee was appointed to draft new clause.
Brosnan's amendment, providing that juries
may find verdict by three-fourths vote,
was considered. Johnson moved to amend
and apply it only to civil cases. 1t was dis
eussed, and at last Brosnan's amendment
triumphed.
Mr.. Stewart moved proviso that the Legis-
lature may require the verdict to be unani-
NOUS, was adopted, and then adopted as
amended. . .s
Provision with reference to compensation
for property taken for public use was further
discussed on amendment designed to make
language more explicit. Still pending when
the Convention adjourned. ...

Majority Yerdicts.

IT Among other important innovations upon
established usage, proposed in the Constitu-
tional Convention, is the amendment Of Mr..
Brosnan concerning jury trials, to the, effect
that "if three-fourthS of the Jurors. agree
upon averdict, it shall stand and have the
same effect as verdict by the whole jury"
In speaking to his amendment Mr.. B. said
he "conceded that the question was one Of
importance; it had been spoken of as entire
ly an innovation, but he reminded the Con-
.vention that it had long been the law in Scot
land, which was supposed to be as civilized
country as this, and there it had worked ad-
mirably. They could not do better in a new
State than to adopt this system, which would
obviate many existing evils, saving vast
amount of litigation, and saving also, the re-
putations of men, serving us jurors, who
were suspected sometimes Of being bribed.
Iswas not right that the opinions of nine
men on jury should be overbalanced by the
obstinacy or stupidity Of the remainder, To
say nothing about dishonesty"
The amendment was passed with the pro
riso that the legislature may at any time re-
ouire the verdict to be unanimous. This
question is a very important one, and like
most others, has two sides, and much argu-
ment might be made on either. We believe
that those who have had most to do with
Jury trials, have the weakest faith in this
"great bulwark," as medium for arriving
at an infallibly correct conclusion of fact, no
matter how plain and apparently uncontra-
dicted the testimony may be upon propo-
sition. In fact, the probable verdict of trial
jury is proverbially the only thingthat is sup
posed to be beyond the ken of Omniscience.
This uncertainty has undoubtedly arisen from
the legal requirement of an unanimous YER
diet. The minds of men are so various thai
il is somewhat wonderful that twelve men
are ever found to agree perfectly upon any
pronosition whatever. This harmony, when
ever il does occur, will be found, upon close
inouiry. to be the result of indifference,
easy persuasion, or perhaps, oftener, hunger,
WEAKNESS, and desire to escape from the
Imprisonment of the jury room. We will
venture to say that in not one case in half a
dozen is the verdict the result of real, ear
nest conviction in the mind Of every one Of
the twelve Jurors. We have never lived un-
der system oflaws where the majority sys-
tenn prevailed, and have no experience of its
workings, but it occurs to US that no possible
harm could result from it, while i'll almost
every case verdict would be arrived at, and
the everyday nuisance of chung jury"
with its attendant results Of delay and expense
would scarcely ever occur. If it be essen
tial that twelve men should agree upon
point to prove its correctness and justice,
let the jury consist Of sixteen and the deci-
sion of twelve stand as the verdict. We like
the passage Of the amendment, with the pro-
viso, leaving US, as it does, the opportunity
of testing the three-fourths rule, and Of re-
tanning or discarding it, as it may on expert
ment prove satisfactory or otherwise.

Sedgwick was ordered to proceed to Kappa

corps, reached the heights this side of the
river at l o'clock, and drove the enemy's
pickets. Other divisions arrived, and brisk
cannonading at distance of three-fourths OF
a mile ensued, followed by an infantry charge
led by Russell in person against the flower OF
the Southern army, the Louisiana brigade.
Russell drove the enemy to the river, where
they had to swim or surrender. The
enemy burned their end of the bridge at dark,
closing one of the most brilliant actions Of
the war. Sedgwick, Wright and Tyler agree
in awarding credit to Gen. Russell and his
troops. Meade sent congratulatory order
