to reach Weaverv lille that the oftener drop you
a line the better will be the chance of your re-
cevng portion at least, of the weekly Legis-
latiye intelligence IN time to publish within a

currency, but it has not the honesty to own where
the ,.rc spot is. The third resolution says
- stA-We indorse the legal tender law, the soul
and life of our National currency, the greatest
financial success the world has ever seen, and
There's the rub the UNI IS tender the cur

GOV. Lows OPINION.
Our Governor sent to the Legislature an extra
message the other day. concerning the financial
condition of the State, in which he took occasion
70 hat I'd
the people of the State against paper currency,
and this pref .dice, and not a want of loyalty is
the reason why the Z. s. currency is not adopted
here. Then, instead of endeavoring to remove
that prejudice, (which though reasonable so far
as concerns wildcat bank issues, is wholly
groundless as applied to the legal currency of
the land, he proceeds to increase it, and still
more strongly set the people against one of the
laws of the Government he wore to support.
He is banker-not one of the industrial class

QUALIFICATIONS OF JURORS.
Mr.. Hittell for a minority of the Judiciary
committee of the Assembly, has made an able
report in favor of a change of the law with re-
gard to jurors, so as not to exclude from juries
those who have expressed an opinion, provided
they say that they give the accused i'm
partial trial, uninhuenced by previous opinions.
The reasons for the change are that the present
system delays the administration of justice is
source of great expense for fees and mileage of
Sheriff, and Of great inconvenience to the people,
many more of whom are summoned than would
be necessary under n better system. FAUST.
