The STRIKE among the potters in Trenton,

in order to get their fall stock made They saw
that unless The employers do this they will not
have sufhcient stock for their fall trade ana

4 Clear Failure.

Financially GRANTS administration
is failure. The best Radical organs
conceded this weeks ago, and the most
obseqeuous friends of the President are
now making the admission. The recent
unexpected and extraordinary advance
in gold shows the utter want of conf
dence among monied men with regard
to BoUTwELL'S ability to deal with the
problems that face him, and his failure
to bring down the rates after more than
a week of effort indicates that their
fears of his weakness were well found,
ed. The New York Tunes, of yesterday
speaking of the recent advance in gold,
says:
Under an administration Of Tetrench-
meut, economy and revenue collected,
the premium on gold ought to fall aud
the public credit in all respects be
strengthened. Such large, quick and
unexpected advance as that Of the past
month deranges business and values and
works greatly to the detriment of the
mercantile interests of the country.
There is no doubt that the carrying out
of the ideas of Grants inaugural, with
a sound treasury policy and a proper
treasury administration, would prevent
these embarrassing and injurious tiuc-
tuations and at the same time solidly
establish the public credit.
The conclusion is, of course, that
either GRANT has abandoned the princi-
pies laid down in his inaugural, or ne
has not the ability to enforce them.

Two more disgraceful scenes at the
White House are reported in the tele-
grams this morning. SUMNER has tlared
up at the imperious customs that obtain
about the White House and withdrawn
his presence from the place in great
wrath. It's "a military camp" and
never more will it be gladdened by
visit from the pedaAtic pOpinjay from
Massachusetts,, unless ULYSSES appease
his incensed dignity.
As "CHAwIs" with GRANT SO SuANKs
with FISH. The Secretary's Aquarium
is to have its waters troubled no more
by SHANKs, no matter what unhealed
office seekers may long for that angelic
individual to stir up the flood. FISH
himselfl is calmly consigned to perdi-
ton by this vengeful Congressman. II
SHANKS don't want to be bothered by
FISH in future, he should have made
some other disposition of that Secretary
Il the object of these prominent loy,
alsts" be merely to bring their party
into di.repute and push it out Of power
their object might as well be considered
accomplished. For the sake of public
decency they ought to suspend their
shameful performances and not convinc,
the world that the great men of tht
country conduct their business solely OF
the basis of blackguardism.

Reform in the J ury system.

Recent verdicts in important cases,
have caused some of the leading journ-
ais Of the country to discuss the ques-
ton of reforming our jury system. Sew
eral acquittals in cases OF deliberate kill
ing and others Of less magnitude, have
shown that in many instances, as jurors
are at present selected, it is impossible
for them to resist the pressure of outside
influence, and that they base their ver-
diets more upon popular sympathy than
upon the law and the facts The st. Louis
Dispatch favors a change in the qualiti-
cations Ofjurymen, in the mode OF their
selection and in the amount paid them
for their services. 1t contends that
both property test aud an educa-
tional test should be applied in the ap
pointment of jurors. Popular and sue
cessful advocates may desire that the
Jury system should remain in stat" quo,
but the great majority of the legal pro-
fession entertain a different opinion
and so do the great bulk of the public.
There is one class unalterably opposed
to change-the class which gives the
Police so much employment. They es-
pecially desire to have as many of their
peers in the jury box, when they ind
themselves standing in the opposite
box, as can be got there, and the present
system enables them to give at least
partiaffffect to the desire. Germany is
the source of the jury system, and
we might learn useful lesson by going
to the fountain head. In many of the
German States the ju.ors are a select
class. The position is one of honor.
They are called by their title, justas we
call Judges here. Why should we lay
so much stress OH having good judges,
while we are Indifferent as to the way
in which our juries are constituted
With us jurors have more power than
they have anywhere else-the more
necessary that they shOuld be duly quail
fled and properly paid for the discharge
of their duties. If any better mode than
the application of the tests mentioned
can be devised, let it be brought forward.
Going to law now is little better
than a game of chance; whereas it
should be as certain in its results as a
scientific process. Some persons sug-
gest that jurymen should be elected.
But the character of the bench which
the ballot box has given US does not leud
much countenance to that idea. Politi-
cal partisans of mediocre talents and
requirements occupy most of the judi
cial seats. You seldom find a hrst-class
lawyer on the bench nowadays.
The Dispatch concludes by saying that
a reform in the method of constituting
the Judiciary is just as much needed as
a reform in the jury system, and if the
State is mindful of the general welfare
it will address itself without delay to
both problem.

A SHORT time ago Mr.. WAsHBURNE,
the refined and accomplished repsesent-
ative of tho United States at the French
Court, called Mr.. Secretary FISH "a
lunk.head," because he would not adopt
all the appointments made by Mr.: W.
during the few hours he was at the head
of the State Department. FISH and his
friends have ever since been examining
all the dictionaries within their reach
to see what "lung- head" means, but,
as yet, they have not been able to
fathom its meaning. When they do, if
it shonld turn out to be an objection

PiUa in hammer

From a late circular from John
Haight, our well-knOwn swine breeder,
of Du Page county, we take the follow
ing on the above subject:
Summer is the time to make pork /;
making it in winter is much like run
ming boat against wind and tide; it
requires too much food to keep up the
animal heat. If hogs have plenty of
grass in summer, and about half the
corn they will eat, they will fatten rap
idly, and my belief is that three
pounds of pork can be made
from less grain in this way than
one pound can be in cold wealth
er with hog in a close pen. The grass
is cooling and looSening, and counter
acts the feverish properties of the corn &.
Hogs will never melt in summer, how
ever fat, if they have acs4E>ss to water
and mud TO lie in. Mud ia very had far
hogs in cool or cold weather. 1t alb
serbs too much animal heat. Milk is q
very cooling drink and almost indis-
pensable to raising young pigs. But
very little corn and no corn meal should
be fed to young pigs before they are
four months old. The effects of corn and
raw corn meal on young pigs are these:
The pigs will first be costive, then they
will scoHr. They will begin to rub
against everything they can rub against,
that will rub their hair off. Their skin
will have a red and dry appearance. A
dry, black scurf will begin to form on
them; and the more of the corn and
meal they eat, the poorer they will get.
The best thing that can be done for
pig in this condition, is to give him a
thorough washing in warm rain water
or sour milk; sour milk is best. Coarse
flour or middlings from rye or wheat,
when made into a thin drinkable slop
with milk, is the best feed for young
pigs.

JAMES GORDON BENNETT has pre-
sented the New York Fire Department
with $500, the interest from which is
to be used annually in getting up a
medal for the most meritorius man con-
nected with the "masheens" in that city.
BENNETT thinks that by being generous
to the Fire Department in this world,
he can effect compromise with the
Fire Department in the next.
