CoIoprp MEN IN HEJURY.Box.

In our court report OF yesterday, pub
lished in another column, will be found the
charge OF Judge Fisher to the grand jury,
among whom, for the first timc In the his
tory of tho District, arc numbered co.orcd
citlzcns-cl.zcns at last in the fullest mean
ing of the title. 1t will be read with inter-
est by every friend Of humanity.
The recognition Of Colored mon as jurors
cfTaces the last vestigc Of tho slave oligarchy
that once cursed this District. 1t is the
crownlng event Of that glorious omancipa-
ton which began at the capital and radlated
throughout the length and breadth Of the
nation.
Unjust discrimination Is blotted out for
ever, as far as the rights of the colored man
are concerned, In our midst. lie is free, not
only in the sense Of Individual liberty, but
his manhood is recognized in tho halls OF
Justice. The elective franchise has con
fcrrcd upon him the right TO vote for law
makers. Before H was dono tho colored
man was held responsible for acts as though
his voice had given sanction to the laws en-
acted for the good Of the community In which
he lived. The statutc.book had no clause
for him that was not equally applicable to
the most intelligent citizen. One by one the
distinguishing lines havo been erased, and
now he Is deemed worthy to participate in
all the privileges Of an American freeman,
As Jurors, 1t will be asked, can VIC expect
the white and colored men chosen to deter
mine the cause OF those arraignod In oul
courts to agree! Can any ono say those
subject TO be chosen are not as fully qualified
IS the class OF men who have heretofore sal
in our Iury-boy! Or Is tho gin of good
Judgment possessed by only few, and that
number confined to the Anglo-saxon race
Whatever may be tho opinion OF those op
posed to the elevation Of the colored race
justice demands that, under republican
form Of government, no class Of men shal
presume to dictate who are competent ant
who are not TO exercise a right which tn,
the sanctlty Of which, by the oath admins
tered, is recognized in Judgment between tn
creature and his Creator.
We are certain the majesty Of the law viii
be vindicatod quite as well by couscientlou
men, whether black or white, when chosei
from among the people, as 1t has been II
times past by those who made 1t bushes
to act as professional jurors, and who wer
ready upon every occasion to truly try an
determine the case according TO the law an
evidence.
Peace Is the glory of justice, and Will
colored men are forever declared free an
equal, let us all unite lu according to ou
ucighbor the same privileges we demand fC

PETRIPIED REMAISs.-The body Of the
late Adam Treusch, who died at the age Of
65 years, and was buried on November 2s,
1851, in Baltimore cemetery, was on Satur-
day dlsintcrred for the purpose Of removal to
Greenmount. The body was found to be al
most as perfect In appearance as at the time
ofburial, except that 1t was completely pct
rihcd. The face alone showed signs Of de-
cay; the eyes were gone and the clothing on
the body had nearly dsappcaredj but the
body and limbs were solid and stone like,
hard and chalky to the touch. The de-
ceased was very large man, and weighed
three hundred pounds at the time Of his
death. In the process Of removal It re-
quired the utmost strength Of four men to
lift the remains from the grave, and this,
too, after an interment OF eight years. There
were several other bodies In the same lot,
members of the family of the deceased, but
on removal none of them showed any but the
usual and natural signs of decay, and Mr..
IIarryman, the superintendent Of the ceme-
terry, says that without exception this Is the
first case of so-called petrifaction that has
come under his observation In twenty years

ReuuIatinK Things.

The Bricklayers' Union of Washington
city have expelled six members because they
worked where black men were also working
as brisklaycrs. The Printers Union has
been for months boggling over the admis.
sion of son OF Frederick Douglass. The
other day, we see II reported, sixty masons
struck in Newark because their employer,
who had two apprentices, took third.
1t is said that nearly all the trades in this
country now have "nnions," and we suppose
a unionist sincerely believes that united
action is advantageous to artisans and
working men. SO Il might be II the action
were wise; but we can assure worklngmen
In America that their unions will soon fall
into general contempt II they 20 on with
such absurd and wicked acts as those we
have mentioned.
A mans face is black-thcrefore so far as
"union" can do ii, they devote him to
starvation. Young Douglas is printer
the printers union, so far as 1t has power,
forbids him to work at that trade. What
then shall he dot If he should turn brick
LAYER, the bficklayers' union would again
step In and snatch the bread from his mouth.
Why do not these sapient unionists meet In
grand convention somewhere, and decree at
once that If mans face Is black he shall
work at no honest trade; why do they not
declare in sentence that black men shall
| live only by robbery
Then they might add second rule, thai
nobody who docs not now know tradt
shall be permitted to learn it, and then they
will have the monopoly in their own few
hands. And by the time everything Is thu
comfortably arranged for the unionists, they
will discover that the public Is on "strikc'
against their foolish tyranny, and will re
fuse to use the labor Of any one who Is con
nected with a union. To that complexion
matters are coming very fast. 1t Is notorl
Gus that to employ the members Of trade
union is, in many cases, to get less worl
done, in poorer style, pay more for 1t, ant
suffer more vcNatiOus petty tyrannies thai
under any system that has yet been con
trived in this country; and 1t is equally no
toriOus that In many cases the trades union
are harbors for incompetent and lazy work
men, who there find shelter and support a
the expense OF skilful and honest men.-N

The CoMNr-sIoSER OF INTERNAL REvE-
SUE has determined to appoint q commission
to examine the various devices for securing
mash-tubs, meters, &c, in dlstlllerles, the
number offered for Inspection being over ono
hundred. The object, as has been stated In
the REPUBLICAN, is to protect the revenue
against fraud on the part of distlllcrs.
A representative of the Western Bank
Note Company had IL Interview with the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue ycster-
day, TO present the claim of the company
for a share Of the work Of preparing stamped
bank checks, Nc., particularly what would
be used by the Revenue Department for the
northwestern States. Commissioner Delano
is favorably disposed to divide the work
among the competent companies. The
printing Of the new series Of tobacco stamps
will give some companies large job. The
commission appointed to examine the de-
vices for protecting the revenue, will uu-
doubtedly be requested to examine the claim
of the Western Bank Note Company
