JURIEs. The following letter from Gen
eral Candy has been received by Governor
Worth
uC'qHs SECOND MILITARY DISTRICT, |
CHAIII ,sTON, S. c., Nov. 8, 67.
HIS E,cceIigucY .j0natbuH Worth,
Gf0rel9sO3 of North Carolina:
SIR Il have the honor to acknowledge |
She receipt 81 your communication OF the |
1st instant, and to state that copies of all |
orders that affect the duties of civil officers
are distributed in sufficient numbers to
supply all but as it may avoid delay in
sending them direct, your suggestion Will
be followed ID future.
General Orders No. S9stands in its original
form, except that in order to avoid delay
in the administration of justice, as stated 1
by you originally, and in your communion
ton of the 10Th ult., it was directed by
General Orders No. lO9:
FRS. THAT iUrieS drawn and summoned
under the provisions OF General Orders No.
81, should be cmpanneled for the trial of
Jury causes set for trial at the next (present) i
ensuing term of the County and Circuit
Courts of your State.
Second That in drawing juries at the
Fall (present) term OF the County Courts
for the next term Of the County and Cir
cult Courts, they should be drawn under
the provisions of General Orders No. 80,
and in the manner prescribed by the laws
of the State from the list of citizens eDhO
hare paid taces for tie current gear.
The right OF challenge under General
Orders No. 80, by reason of non-registra-
ton, to be effective in both cases.
The third provision, you will recollect,
was suggested by Gov. Orr, and was in
tended to prevent any possible misconstruc
ton III cases where JuneS had already been
under the provisions of Gen
eral Orders No. 80.
The text and intent OF these orders is to
mako every citizen who has paid taxes of
any kind, and is morally and intellectually
qualified to perform jury duty, liable to the
performance of that duty. They do not
interfere with the right Of your Courts to
purge tie jury lists of persons who are
morally or intellectually disqualified, and
the phrase ''personally titted,' used in my
communication to you of the 18th ultimo,
was intended TO convey the idea that this |
"'purgation" should be graded by the intel |
lectual and moral fitness ofthe persons Oh the
jury lists, and not by their complexion or
their poverty. Isupposed, from your letter |
of the 18th ultimo, that you so understood |
the order If any OF the Courts have
failed to draw juries in accordance with |
those provisions, a special term will be
necessary.
70 guard against any further delays, I
will send q copy OF this letter to the Chair
man OF each OF the County Courts, and to
