A correspondent writing from Indianapo Is
complains that in his State it is next to la
possible to secure a verdict of Guilty" upon
an indictment for murder and ne goes on To
detail three cases of unmistakable homicide with
malice prepense, in which juries have extenu-
ated the crime to mansaughter. This Is an
evil, however which is inseparable from the
jury system and the only remedy for it is to
bring up the general moral sense of the COM
munity. Jurors, selected by lot from tho
adult male population represent pretty nearly
the average sense of justice possessed by
society at large and if such society Gnfortu-
nately deems the killing Of men TO DO some
what less a crime than horse stealing, it is not
to be expected, at least reasonably, that tho
panel will be nicer in its judgment. The jury
system is like the system of suffrage-it depends
for its value and safety upon the intelligence
aud honesty of the people.

The itch for office cannot be prevented even
by the salutary breezes of the Atlantic Ocean.
The keepership of the lighthouse on Rose
Island. near Newport is vacant. Instantly. no
fewer than twenty able-bOdied citizens are smit-
ten by a raging desire to keep that same light
house, and rush about importuning everybody
to sign their petitions. To be sure, it's very
good place; the salary is quite handsome, and
there are q few acres of land for the keeper
to cultivate when he is not trimming his lamps;
but while we can appreciate the measureless
content with which the fortunate applicant will
take possession. who can estimate the lacerating
pangs which will fill the bOsoms of the unlucky
nineteen condemned to disappointment To
them the cheerful blaze of the lantern will Do
a mockery, and the lighthouse itself only
monument Of failure.

4RRESrING MADE E1SY.

James Fisk, IT., has again obtained an ar
rest. The person arrested had maze aiiiua'i's
in n suit relating TO the recent gold specuia-
tions. Fisk, IT., and Jay Gould charge nm WIN
periury. As to the lawsuit we are Indifferent;
but in the matter of procuring arrests, the press
of this country cannot forget the outrage upon
the editor of The Springfield Republican, anc
the man who inflicted it, Judges are too ready
to issue such warrants. Parties applying LOT
them should be personally examined under
OATH and their allegations subjected to close
scrutiny, especially when those making oath
are personally interested. 1t might be well,
perhaps. if all the operators of Black Friday
were arrested but not at the instigatlon OF
either clique.
ANY business man is now liable to be sud
denly seized and imprisoned. Anybody may
swear Just so much as is necessary, ana
the order ia at once issued. Telling part
of the story obtains arrest where the part left
out would reverse the aspect of affairs. The
unfortunate victim must find on the instant
two bondsmen, each worth the required
amount clear of debt, in real estate situated III
this State, or offer bail in money or other per-
sonal property, which it may be necessary TO
put into the hands of the sheriff. Most men
are not prepared for such an emergency. The
alternative is the Jail. In any case,
before regaining freedom, there Is to be
paid $40, Office fees, aud probably
some extras A remedy by suit for false
imprisonment amounts to nothing. 1t may be
tried before the magistrate that ordered tho
arrest. Our judges cannot sympathize with
suitor whose plea is that their action was
injudicious. 1t is the experience Of the bar
that not one in score RECEIVERS damages
Nothing but n reform of the Judiciary can
remedy the evil. At present it is serious
occasion of annoyance; it may soon become
powerful political engine.

The most ingenious form of irony is that in
which the satire is 80 delicately vailed as to
admit mOmentary doubt as to whether com
pliment or ridcule is intended. A fine example
of this appears in recent issue of The Lon
don Times. "The practice" it says, "Of dis
patching the junior members of the Royal
Family on rowing embassies through the
vast circle of the British DominiOps is
"happy discovery Of the present reign The
humorous bearing of this observation, rs Mr.
Bunsby might say, lies in the application. Its
only complimentary value depends upon the
supposition that the felicitous notion was con-
ceiyed early in the reign, and that the numer
GUS existing family was provided expressly to
carry it out. This naturally being dismissed,
it can only be taken as subtle reminder that
the British Government, in respect to princes
of the blood, stands somewhat in the position
of the matron of nursery fame who lived in a
shoe, and as a sort of last resort has hit
upon an easy plan of disposing OF them
without inconvenience to itself or loss OF dig
nifty on their part. Even if the discovery
as The Times facetiously calls 1t, had been
made in any preceding reign, 1t could have
availed nothing, the materials for putting 1t
into execution not having hitherto been suffi-
GENTLY profuse. The sarcasm Of The Times
contrasts strongly with the rough humor which

A prominent member of the bar in this city
has written an able essay based on these three
questions:
l. is the NewYOrk Judiciary in ts worst possible states
D what kind Of relief would be furnished by such
change as Is proposed in the new Constitution
is 10 at all worth while TO vote on the Judiciary
article OF the new Constitution
We have lately attempted to deal with these
questions in The TRIBUNE. We have shown
that the New York Judiciary was at least in
an excessively bad state; that the changes pro-
vided for in the Judiciary article of the new
Constitution would assuredly furnish very great
relief for existing judicial evils, and that it was
of the highest Importance that every citizen
should east his vote in favor of the proposed
reforms affecting the administration of law aud
Justice in this city and State. We are glad to
see the legal fraternity taking so deep an in
terest in this matter, and we trust that their
opinions, based on their judgment and expe-
rience, will have great weight with the whole
body of voters.

The newest sensation is the news from Ten
nessee. Mr.. Andrew johnson is MT so dead as
he seemed, and his friends have startled the
Legislature that vanquished them by sprnging
with a war-whoOp into the arena, and, true to
the slogan of their chief, brandishing the Con-
stitution over their heads. They have discov-
cred that clause in that instrument forbids
the election by the Legislature Of any of its
own members to any such position as
that to which it has just chosen
Mr.. Henry Cooper. Great CONSERVATION there
upon prevails, and visions of Andrew in the
solitary Senate chamber, in the fifth hour of
his fifteenth speech, in the first week of his
term, on the glories of his Administration and
the shame of his impeachers. already fit again
before our startled vision.

One Aaron Cooley of Boston claims that when
wears ago the mob beset Mr.. Garrison, and that
gentleman was in danger of violent death at
the hands of the crowd he, the aforesaid Aaron,
rushed in and rescued Mr.. Garrison from the
peril. Wherefore. he, the said Aaron, now de-
sires donations of money from the friends of
the great reformer; but that gentleman puts
an extingusher upon Aaron by denying the
rescue. and characterizes the claim as "ridicu-
"lously egotistical and utterly ridiculous" Mr..
Garrison says that his friends have again and
again been appealed to by Aaron for money,
and that he even wrote letters Ito the Duke

asking them as friends of Mr.. Garrison to send
him over some cash. In fact, Mr.. Aaron Cooley

The petrifed giant ut Syracuse having
turned out a snare and delusion to paleontolo-
gists, we beg leave to console them by the in
formation that at Ripley, Ohio two genuine
tusks of mastodon have been unearthed-One
of them entire and weighing fifty pounds. 1t
has been nationally concluded that where the
teeth were there must be the rest Of the great
creatures skeleton, and immediate measures
have been taken for q regular series of exca-
vations. We believe that Mr.. Barnum long
ago voted the whole family of mastodons and
megatheriums cheap and common, and that he
now prefers monstrOsites of the living pres
ent but we must inform the citizens of Rip
Icy that the more perfect the skeleton OF q
mastodon the more money it will be worth.
So they had better be careful how they dig.
