INSTRUCTIONS To DEPUTIES.

INSTRUCTIONS TO DEPUTIES.
1. When you desire to establish Council OF
the U. l.. A. at any point, go there or send an
assistant. Assemble eight or moro loyal men,
explain to them the objects, and, as far as you
think proper, the principles of the Union League
OF America. Ii they consent to become mem
bers, initiate them. After you have given them
the secret work, take the Chair, state to them
the number and names of the officers they have
to elect. You will then have them proceed to an
election to fill the different Offices from among
the men initiated.
9. After the officers are elected, you will re-
quest eight or more of the members to sign an
application for Charter. This application and
the fee of-you will forward to the Cores
ponding Secretary of the State League who will
send Charter and the necessary books, blanks,
&C., to the President of the new Council.
3. If you are unable to attend the organization
ofa Council, you may deputize and send an as
sistant, being responsible for his prompt report.
4. Instruct the Councils that they should hold
meetings once in each week, and that they
should follow the ceremony as nearly as possible.
Advise them to enlist all the LOYAL talent in their
neighborhood, and that they have speaking when
ever they can.
5. You will perceive that the success of the
Councils which you establish will depend in a
great measure upon the men who are its founders,
and who may be elected to fill the offices. They
should not only be prudent, vigilant, energetic,
and loyal, but they should be men who possess
the confidence of their fellow citizens.
6. You should establish Councils in each cleo
ton precinct. These Councils should not only
have distinctive names, but be regularly number
ed.
z. It is important that each Council be at once
put in communication with the State and Ma
tional Councils. Through these sources the
members of the League will be supplied with
documents. Each Council of the Union League
shonld, as soon as organized, subscribe for THE
GREAT REPUBLIC, the national organ of the
order, which contains each week matters of in
terest and Importance to members of the League.

JURY MATERIAL.

At the recent term of the Circuit Court
of Jefferson county, nothing so disturbed the
equanimity of the Judge and distressed the
Sheriffs of the county, as the scarcity of jury
material. The patience of the old stereOtyped
list was exhausted before the end of the dock
ct was half reached, aud the lodging of the
faithful at the county seat, rendered it ex-
men to try the yet remaining untried causes.
But fortune favOrs the brave, and in her pro-
fuse disPensatiOns, she smiled upon our friend
GEORGE kooNCE, and gave him at least one
juror that was unlocked for. The story is a
