In empannelling the jury at Bath for the
trial of the BowdOinham Bank robbers, the
candidates for the jury-box were exposed to
rigid examination, with view to challenging
any OF them for cause the right ofperempto-
ny challenge being confined to one by each
party. Mr.. B. T. Bicknell of Bath, one OF the
most upright, conscientious men in the city,
was peremptorily challenged by prisoners
counsel, though he had no interest in the Bank,
and was unconscious of having formed any
opinion of the guilt or innocence OF the prison.
ers. lie had read the newspaper account of
their preliminary examination at Bath, and
for this alone he seems to have been objection

One ofthe questions put to VIM. Adams was
Have you read the account of the trial at
Bath?"-in the Bath paper Answer-"I
hare not" He was sworn, of course, and the
reporter of the Lewiston Journal says "similar
questions were put to all the jurors and an
swered generally IN the same manner"
Only think Of it, One of the most unheard
of and brutal assaults was made upon Bank
officer in the night time; he was dragged from
his bed by masked ruffians, blindfolded, and
with pistol at his head compelled to 20 across
the street and open the Bank vault, when the
safe was rifled of money and government
bonds. The rufflans did not only this, but they
assaulted the cashiers wife and son-the latter
lad, whom they tied and gagged, while his
mother, with sick infant at her side, was
compelled to suffer her feet to be tied, was gag
ged, and had her hands tied though she beg
ged that they might be left free so she could
minister to her sick babe! individuals were
arrested on suspicion, examined in Bath-only
ten miles from the scene of the robbery and
outrage-and the case appearing strong against
them they were committed for full trial, and
yet twelve men are found, all living within
from two to fifteen miles of the Bank ,oho did
not feel interest enough an the matter to read the
report of the examination, and these men, in
preference to others more alive and intelligent
are thought peculiarly fitted for jurymenl-
The Bath Times, referring to the empannelling
of this jury, remarks:
| One thing was noticeable in the answers of
the Jurors as they were about to be empannell-
edyesterday They were each asked if they had
read IN the papers the account of the trial in
October, and il was astonishing how mrny peo-
| pie could be drawn from the jury boxes Of the
several towns, who had not read the papers.s
All that we feel inspired to add by way of
comment, may be summed up in the usual in
vocation in the old Bay State;-ifi in ignorance
only there is safety and if intelligence is to

Friend or Foes

A few evenings ago, riding from Baltimore
to Washington we overheard an amusing con-
versation between two men, both of whom had
evidently rendered good service to Jefferson
Davis in the rebel army-one of them Balti-
morean, and the other hailing from the city Of
Washington
"You are going to have an election in Wash
ington, in June?" said the one.
"Yes," said the other, "a niger election:
do not intend to VOTE"
"But can't you get the darks to vote against
the RAIDS"
"Oh, no" was tho response, they will all go
one way"
"Well, we in Baltimore intend to DO our best
to get their support, and l think we sha win"
said the resident of the Monumental City.
CoMMENT.-when the colored men vote for
themselves and their friends they are revolu-

masters and tyrants they are common bepefac-

A Legal Fiction Curion.,y .pu,iea.

In the neighborhood of Presburg, in Hunga-
ry, a few days since, woman was charged
with being. the receiver Of stolen goods, which
were found in the cellar of her house. She had
been most of her life Jewess, hut about six
months ago she was converted by priest of
the church of Rome. The date of birth runs in
Hungary, from the date Of baptism. Therefore
the woman, when on trial, made the ingenious
years of discretion, and could not legally be
convicted. The intelligent tribunal after Sc
rious cogitation, held her defence to be good
one, and acquitted her. The widow nov iinds
herself to be in an excellent position Beng
legally onl, six mol.ths Cd though virtually
over fortv She can use her years ofindiscretion
to thieve OF commit other crimes without fear
of legal consequences.
