Cur Jnry system.

For years the courts and lawyers have COM
planned bitterly of the difficulty of obtaining
good jurors the few persons who serve
have groaned at their being called so often,
many poor men have been ruined by being
compelled to leave their business, important
cases aud trAs have been adjourned and post
poned over and over, and general dissatisfac-
ton occasioned through the present incom-
plete, loose and imperative jury system. In
other countries and States the people have
been given proper, coherent and equal sys-
TEN, such as is now proposed in the Jury bill
before our State Assembly. This bill reno
dies most of the existing evils which at present
annoy alike our judges and jurors. 1t pro-
vides fair remuneration for the poor
man and compels the rich to share in the per-
formance of this duty. BY enabling our Com
missioner of Jurors to procure the names of all
liable and limiting exempts to just number
it enlarges the list SO that the services Of each
would be light and infrequent. The
necessity of its passage is as unques,
tionable as is the popularity of the bill with
our best citizens, most of whom are willing to
assist in carrying out so fair, useful and equit-
able o measure.

Congrcss-The Northern Pacific RaiIroad-
The Navy and Ben Butler In the
House.
The only work Of importance in the Senate
yesterday was the passage Of the Northern
Pacific Railway BILL which provides for
railway from Minnesota to Puget Sound,
through cold and almost unexplored region,
VIII re there is nothing much more civilized
than Indians and grizzlies. The bill provides,
very suspiciously, that the franchises and land
grants donated to the company may be sold
without reference to the building of the road
AS for the House, the scent Of the Sypher
case clings round it STILL Mr.. Stevenson, who
originally engineered Sypher so disastrously,
renewed Mr.. Kcrrs mo ion to notify the Gov
ernor of Louisiana that there was vacancy
In Sypher's district; and in advocating 1t he
took pains 10 show that Sheldon, wIo is safely
in, and the other radical members from Lou-
slana whose seats are yet in allegiance ought
to be sted as Syphsr was. In fact, he
ixpec such would be the result in the
cases yet to be tried, AMI concluded to with
hold his resolution until they were disposed
of. AS it is, Colonel Sheldon has cause to
congratulate hims III that his case was tried
first; for it seems that Sypher in his fall will
knock down al the rest like row OF bricks.
The N wal Appropriation bill was taken up,
and several members took occasion to show
now utterly inefficient our navy is. The bill
is stl under discussion.
The Geor sia bill, we are afraid, is to be held
in suspense for long time. Ben Butler wants
to 60 home, Ike the mau in the play (Butler
IS always reminding us Of some incident in q
comely), and has made private arrange
inent with his Reconstruction Committee 10
postpone it until May 5. Thus this accom-
modating Union stands still while Butler prac-
tces in some little law court OF Massachusetts
for his fees, and the Stlte OF Gsor yia is dis
trancsed until the pussant Butler gets
Through with his little outside business. Bad
as the bill is, ''if it were done when 'tis done
then 'iwere well it were done quickly" and if
it is utterly impossible for the House to do the
business without him, Butler ouglt to be tied
down to his desk by force until it is done.

THE STEAMER VENEZUELA, which was
spoken some time ago, in distress, by the ship
Camilla, and which is now over thirty-fye
days out from Liverpool for the West Indies,
has again been seen. The steamship Ohio,
which arrived at Baltimore yesterday, saw
her, still in distress, with her rudder gone, on
the 10th instant, in latitude forty degrees eight
minutes, longitude eight degrees seventy-three
minutes, and offered to tow her to New York,
but the crazy captain of the Venezuela, who
probably has wholesome dread Of running up
bill for salvage against his employers, de-
clined any assistance. Her passengers, luckily,
had already been brought to New York'by the
Camilla, so that the captain has only the lives
of himself and crew to risk in this insane busi-
ness.

The BANK OF ENGLAND AND THE ENK
OF FRANCE.-The gold in the Bank of England
is reported this week as 8143,00O Cor say
10000 600 francsO less than it was last week,
while the gold in the Bank of France has
increased since the last previous weekly report
100000 francs. Why this difference between
these two banks? The main reason, we pre-
sumo, is this: France is in political crisis, and
the French people are rather disposed to put
their gold in the bank for safe keeping than to
risk it in uncertain adventures. In England,
on the other hand, there is no such alarm and
no such drawbacks upon business.

A STRANGE ILLUMINATION FOR THE NOR
MoNs.-We have the report from Great Salt
Lake City that on the arrival there. on Wednes-
day last, Of the new Governor for Utah,
(Shafer) and the other new State officers ac-
companying him, appointed by General Grant,
they received q rousing welcome, and that
after they had fatty told the assembled
citizens that their mission was to suppress
polygamy there were great rejsicings, includ-
ing bonfires, fireworks, u parade and an illu-
mination Of the city. All this shows that the
Genties are getting to be a powerful party at

A WAR WITH SPAIN IN WALL STREET
The sbulls" and ''bears," for lack of news to
bfeak the monotony, which is death to their
business, flooded Wall street yesterday with
reports of a Cabinet session on the su bject of
making war against Spain. The incredulous
spectators wouldn't get excited, however,
and so the "war with Spain" had to 60 upon
the shelf with the ''Death of Napoleon" Z"
'sFatal Illness Of Bismarck" and other stories
which don't ''wash" any more. 1t seems this
last venture, however, was desperate one,
and had employed forgery as one Of its aids to
excite the market. Admiral Godon, of the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, and Captain Steadnan,
at Charlestown, have both informed Admiral
Porter that they have received dispatches
signed ''Porter" ordering every avaihble
vessel to be put in commission, as war with
Spain was inevitable. The Vice Admiral has
returned them word that the dispatches are
forgeries. The desperate gamblers who thus
dare to play against the peace of the cum
try ought to be ferreted out and punished.

had new revelation. 1t does not appear that
brigham Young took any part in the proceed
ings, but ewil have TO define his posi-
uon very soon. We should not wonder ii he,
TOO, In due season, should disclose a new reve-
iation, instructing him to depart with his
people ont of Egypt; and this will probably be
the settlement OF the Mormon question.

Ex-SEcRETARY SEWARD, at a dinner given
by him at his residence in Auburn yesterday
to few friends, made a speech touching his
late extended tour through the West, Alaska,
Mexico and Cuba. Even with such confirmed
politician the travellers fondness for telling
about his travels prev allied, and there was not
a word that the distinguished ex-Secretary
uttered which could be tortured into any
politcal significance.

THE ELECTION TICKETS IN FRANCE.
Bonapartists, the radicals, the ''reds' ard th
Orleanists have all party election tickets in

THE ACoUIITAL OF CHAMBERS William
Chambers tried in Brooklyn for the murder
there, in February last, of ex-Supervisor D.
S. Voorhees,, was acqutt yesterday on the
ground of insanity, and was given in charge of
the police to be taken to an insane asylum, as
recommended by the jury. Being thus Sc
cured against hanging, and having only the
dread of the lunatic asylum before his eyes,
this philosophic murderer went back to prison,
and, plucking the unsightly rag Off his head
by which he had influenced the jury, he boasted
aloud in the presence of the Sheriff and the
other Jail officials, that he had cheated the gal
lows and was not insane either. "You thought
you would hang me-" he said; "but l have
cheated the jury"

IMPORTANT ARRIVAL OF CELEsTIALs.-The
San Francisco papers of the 14th inst. contain
the announcement Of the arrival in that city of
a large number of Chinese merchants and
other dignitaries from the Celestial empire.
They are, of course, welcome to our shores,
and, undoubtedly, will be doubly SO when they
reach the city of New York, the commercial
emporium of the nation. Let them come and
let them be cordially welcomed. Eastward"
the star of commerce is setting its way.

CHALLENGE ACcEPTED.-The Silver
Star Base Ball, of Carson City, Nevada,
have challenged the California base
ball clubs to play for the championship
of the Pacific coast, and the challenge
has been accepted BY the Wide Awakes
of Oakland. The game will be played
at the Recreation Grounds In San
Francisco, Monday the 9th inst; after
which other California clubs will have
a friendly encounter with the strang-
ers. The Silver Stars are said to be
the pets Of the Silver State; the Wide
Awakes do not claim similar distinc-
ton In the Golden Gate, but 1t Is we'll
known that gold bears the highest pre-
MUM; and, with all due courtesy to
the Silver Stars, it ought not to be eS-
pected that in their contest with the
Representatives Of glitterlng gold, the
present standard value of the latter
will be deprecated. 1t may not be
proper to anticipate results, but 1t is
safe to say that the brighter the stars
shine, the better will the Wide Awakes
be able to see them. This friendly en-
counter between the base ballers Of the
Sierras and those Of the coast range
will doubtless attract large numbers
of their mutual friends, from both
sides Of the bay, to witness the sport.
It cannot be necessary to bespeak for
the visiting strangers the kindest of
welcomes on their arrival, and the ten
derest Of ofsympathies OH their defeat

FRoGaIsTs VINO WERE ToADED.-
The Nevada T'ronscrfpt is responsible
for this story: "A couple of lovers OF
frog meat expressed their love for
frogs In the presence of country
friend, whose knowledge Of the reptile
did not extend to the distinction be-
tween toad and bull frog, and he
said he knew where they were plenty,
and would get them mess. On Mon-
day he again came in, carrying two
cans, partially filled with water, con-
tanning frogs. As he approached,
Alex Sloan, who had been promised
mess, smacked his lips in anticipation
of q fancy breakfast, while Carley,
who also had visions Of rich feast,
got ready to stand treat 'Ah, be
Iabbers,' said the friend, / have q
nice mess for yees. Here's noice
pair OF slim ones for Sloan; an here's
an ould one I've been watching i'll the
grass for many years, for Carley. Bad
cess to the bastes, but they hops about
loike fleas.' With this he turned out
three of the Oldest, nastiest, LATEST
toads that ever got blind after a freeze.
The donor was perfectly honest in the
opinion that one frog was as good as
another, but the victims did not see it
In that light, and they don't like to be
asked how they liked the frog break
fast. They don't want anybody to
'toady' to them."

LUCK AGAINST BrAISs.- The San
Jose Mercury man is not at ease. He
has too much brains and not enough
luck; hence he growls thus:
Luck and brains have always been
at war in California, and for many
years luck seemed to get the better Of
the fray. As q rule, the rich men of
the State owe their success entirely to
luck, while the intelligent and cul-
tured poor owe their failure to the
inability of brains to conquer luck.
But we believe this state Of things is
being gradually reversed, and that
some day brains will put OH new vigor
and overcome its old adversary, and
overthrow him entirely. The time IS
coming when the wealthiest and most
favorably situated men will not be the
biggest Doors, when sagacious brain
power will not be at a discount but
will receive its reward, and when luck
will be compelled to take back seat
and disappoint all who trust in 1t.
Brains has been trumps and the
winning card on this side of the
mountains.

Who DISCOVERED AMERICA The
Cologne Gazette says that California
savant named Hadlay has created a
great agitation in San Francisco by
pointing out, In recent work. that
there were Chinese in the country a
thousand years before the Spaniards.
Several German papers thereupon re-
marked that as long as five and twenty
years ago Professor Neumann. of MI
Mich, produced proofs from Chinese
sources of the discovery of America
by that people. Earlier still, Des-
guignes affirmed that Chinese books
spoke of land in the East which can
have been none other than America.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. "A special despatch 10
the Republican from Cheyenne, w. T., dated
September 1, says Messrs. Brunot and Camp
bell special Indian Commissioners, leave to-
morrow to meet General McCook and about so
lodges of Utes near Denver.
Little Crows runners from Red Cloud report
the Sioux, Northern Cheyennes, and Arapahoes
holding great council over Powder river.
Ogalalla, Sioux, Cheyennes, and Arapahoes are
on the way to meet the commission, about the
middle of the next moon, September To- There
will probably be from 1000 to 1900 lodges. Their
annuity goods are expected by the Indians at the
meeting with the commission, and failure to re-
ceive them may seriously cmbarrass negotia-
tions.
The first car load in bulk sver shipped from
this city south by railroad went off on Wednes-
day consigned to j. NJ. Clark & Co., Augusta,
Ga. The experiment promises to be followed
by large business in bulk shipments of grain

Railway Employees strike
Three hundred employees of the Toledo, Wa
bash, and Western Railroad are on a strike at
East st. Louis demanding wages for two
months. A camp has been formed on the line
of the track between the upper point of the
island and the river shore and barricade
thrown up. Up to o'clock last evening four
engines coming in had been captured. No
trains are allowed to go out.
The men are quiet and orderly but determined.
The Toledo Wabash, and Western Railroad
Company have lately come into possession of
this line of road, and FAY the men have no claim
against them for arrears in wages.
