Lizard Black, editor, INDUCED last woek
in an extensive editorial under the caption
of-''We Fly the Banner Of Impartial
Suffrage" Of which, we had special mott
fcation, the article aforesaid coming to us
surrounded by huge Uach lines -appropri-
ate drapery for theme SO informal. We
congratulate editor Black upon his deter
mination to make clean breast of it, and
to no longer be beating about the bush.
He has not takef us by surprise, for we
have been long convinced of what was,
not only his, but the roal sentiment of the
entire Radical press of the State, and pre-
dictcd that it must, sooner or later, find
expression. Hero now we have it, and il
the people Of the State, at the ballot box
endorse the doctrine, we shall Of course
submit with all the grace Imaginable
We admire bold man, though he be q
foe, and editor Black is such man. We
now kno where to find him which is
more than We can say of Snaky Pete.

EFThe JUICES of tho several courts
in Baltimore city have for some years
drawn by lot the Jurors serving in their
courts and it was never be n discovered to
be unconstitutional, but when the same
system is proposed for this county-lo and

The fear that Judge, French instead of
Sheriff Newcomer, would have the selecting

SHgRIpAS's ORDER.-General Sheridan

SHERIDAN's OgDER.-General Sheridan
has added nothing to his reputation by
refusing to allow the citizens of Galveston
to "give civil escort, from the steamer
to the cars, to the remains of Genera
Johnston. 1t is true that Gen. Johnston
was rebel. and that he died in the cause
of the Confederacy; but the rebellion has
passed away, and we can see no impro-
priety 10 allowing the people of the South
to honor whom they please in q civil ca
pacity. If tho proposal had boon to give
military honors to the remains of General
Johnston, the case would be different. If
the Confederate uniforms, flags, or any
other appurtenance, ofthe rebellion were to
have boon displayed on tho occasion, then
the action OF Gen. Sheridan might be
justified. Bat so far as appears from the
correspondence, there was to be nothing
more than civil escort short distapc,
through the city. Does Gen. Sheridan
or anybody else propose to take from the
Southern people the affection which they
feel for men who fought aad died by their
side during the late war? If thei South
had conquered the North, would not we
cherish the memory of our heroes quite
rs much as We now do? General Sheriian's
course is not oaloul ated to hasten the era
of fraternity and concord between tho
North and South, and we fail to see how
it can receive the opdorsem ,nt of sober,
thoughtful and coAsiderate mcn.-N. y.

E.B- Pete continues to be excessively
troubled over tho Jury system proposed
to be adopted for this county--and no
wonders considering the several lit.le
cases of libel dockotcd against him. He
even threatens to again bring into requisi-
tion "Fedsral Jayonets," re-iustate "loy-
atty in the exclusive right to occupy the
Jury-bex, ut wisely postpones that little
operation until "when we have loyal
President again" We have the consola-
tiou ofknowing that the evil hour is indef-

Na-The Herald of yesterday contains an arti
Gle half column in length under the heading
Truth stranger than felton," relating to the
election of the Hon. VIM. T. Hamilton as Presi-
dent of the IIaEsrEtown Bank.
We have carefully read the production in ones
ton, and are puzzled 10 know whether it was
Intended to censure or compliment Mr.. TIamil-
ton, to abuse rival financial Institution, or
merely to display the wit and trenchant SARCASM
of the writer.
Speaking of Mr.. II ,milton, he says, "not a
dollar did he ever subscribe TO or invest in The
Stock of any Bank, nor did he, we aFc informed,
own dollars worth of stock in the lag erstown
Bank at the time of his election to the Presidency
thereof" This assertion we pronounce an I'M
mitiga;cd fllsehood as the records of the Bank
will show.
- The statement however, is but in keeping
with the general reputation of the Herald for
veracity.
Since the accession of "Pete" to the editorial
chair, we never knew him to stumble upon the
truth in any assertion lie ever made, except by
accident.

The September session of the Supreme Court
of this state commences its session for the Third
September 10th. The docket, although this is
the second session during the present year, is
about as large as usual and to dispose Of the
whole of it will require session of six or eight
weeks. We observe the new Clerk, Major Tay-
lor, is etfecting many needed repairs about the
court house building, and having it thoroughly
cleaned and brushed up, preparatory to the
meeting of the Court.
