AuuESrIoN SETTLEp.-Our ncighbor OF
the Times having some days since brought
ont in a new dress the old story that
Samuel Jackson, a negro, had been mar
ricd in Mobile to Miss Jackson, Yankee
schoolmarm, the R,yistr, Of that city gets
off the following comments:
We do not wish to be too particular
about small matters, but there are several
mistakes in the above that ought to be
corrected; as, for example:
The name Of the Yankee school
maym" is not Jones.
The name of the "wcaltby negro" is
not Samuel Jackson.
The negro is not wealthy.
The bridegroom is not negro.
The bride is not white woman.
The Yankee woman is not ">chool-
marm."
The Yankee woman is not married.
The schoolmarm is not married.
The negro is not married.
And finally, there has been no marriage
in Mobile OF either Samuel Jackson or
Sarah Jones, or of Yankee schoolmarm,
or of any negro at all to any white woman
1T all.
We are sorry to spoil good story, but
must tell the truth.

importance, because il lnsuIes that the
trial shall be before loyal jury.
Mr. Davis cannot be tried BY any Of
his confederales. His fate will Issl en-
lirely with his political opponents.
The jury must be unanimous, or there
can be no verdict. This is the invsriabe
rule Of the common law, and has existed
time whereof The memory OF man runneIh
not 10 the contrary.
The presiding judge can rule autbori-
taively on question OF evidence as they
may arise in the progress of lhe ITisl, bu'
as the jury always, in criminal cases, re-
turn general verdict of guilty or not
guilty, they are practically The Judges OF
the law as we'll as The fact, and there is 40
appeal from their decision.
There has never been any exception to
this principle in the common law, except
that in cases Of libel it had frequently
been determined By the Court of King 5
Bench that the only question Tor the con.
sidersrion OF The jury, in criminal Prase,
cuiiCEs for libel, was the fact Of pu6ica
ton and the truth Of the inuendoes, and
that the court alone was competent 10 de
lermine whether the subject Of the publ
cation was or was not libel. And il was
for this ruling Of Lord Mansfield that the
celebrated JLnius 50 bitterly atac ked
Lord Mansfield. Lord Camden, the
friend of liberty, differed from Lord
Mansfield, and the matter was finally pu'
10 rest by the memorable act. oil PsrIi
ment Of 80 George ILL.,, known as MI
Fox's act, which determined the Law
against Lord Mans6eld's judgment, By
expressly rec"gnizn ng the Tight of h,
Jury TO determine the facts and law of III.
case by general verdict of guilty or no
guilty..
The trial can only end in one Of three
ways:
/. By verdict Of guilty.
2. By verdict of not guilty.
8. By the inability of The jury Il
agree.
In event oflhi third alternative arising
the fist question which will arise is
whether Mr.. Davis will be entitled t'
bail.
The Constitution provides that Gin a.
criminal prosecutions the accused shsl
