TRIAL BY JURY AS TO THE COMMON
WEALTH.

What the State has at hazard in respect
to trial by jury is its security against the
immunity of crime. It defines wrongs
and prescribes penalties in vindication of
the rights of communities against indi-
vidual license. Every individual is
pledged to the universal safety and tran
quillity, and lays on the public altar all
personal interests not consistent with the
good of the whole. The common
wealth can afford only justice, for to be
merciful is to be weak, and removing the
fear of punishment invites crime. Let
mercy prevail everywhere, and be INDUCED
to generous excess among those who of
themselves have the exercise of power
and the ability to spare others,
but in the public name let there
be Justice always. A lax administration
of the law is excess Of cruelty, and made
quate means for the attainment of Justice
is misfortune in which every virtuous
man has an indefeasible part. No people
can be overtaken by calamity more dire
than that decentralization which begets a
popular sympathy with him who trans
crosses their laws and puts at defiance their
public courts. In such state of universal
morals, trial by jury becomes a mockery
too absurd for respect, and yet too dan
gerous for. ridicule. In other countries,
and under strong or despotic governments,
such condition could never arise. There
were checks always prevailing in the con-
Trajectory interests of opposing classes.

General James Wilson, a member of the
New Hampshire Legislature, recently de-.
livered lecture in Portsmouth, in which he
said he believed the time would come when
the millions of Chinese would become the
mechanics of the world. He thought that
in few years the most of the cotton goods
of the world would be manufactured in the
China. He also said, in the course of his
duced into that country will do more for
civilization than all the missionaries who
have visited the country during the past
century.

The following important decision has beer
made recently BY the Commissioner of In

telnal Revenue, Hon. c. Delano:
In Difference to the decisions of some OF
the United States District Courts, the word
"gallon," as used in that part of the act of
April TO- 1869, defining wholesale and re.
tail liquor dealers, shall hereafter be con-
strued as meaning wine gallon, whether ap-
pied to distilled spirits, wines or malt
liquors. Therefore, wholesale liquor dealers
will be limited in their sales to quantities
of not less than five wine gallons, and re.
tail liquor dealers to quantities of less than
five wine gallons, regardless of the proof of
the spirits sold.

This is special dispatch to the st. Louis
Republican:
CHICAGO, June 25-Lieutenant General
Sheridan, who returned to headquarters last
night from his tour through the Indian
country, has been absent since third of May.
During his trip he has travelled over five
Thousand miles. The turthest point he Wis
tied was Fort Benton. His object in max
ing the trip was to become more thoroughly
acquainted with the vast region known as
the Indian country, and with the real situa-
ton of affairs there as respects Indians and
white settlers and the United States troops
at various military posts. He has gained
from various sources a vast fund of informa-
tion which will prove Of value to him in the
future discharge of his duties. During his
entire Journey the lieutenant general was
not molested by Indians, but while passing
through the country possessed by the more
hostile tribes he had an escort of cavalry.
He found the friendly Indians quite COM
municative, and all seemed DESTROYS of re-
ceiving presents from the government, and
especially guns and ammunition with which
to fight the Sioux.
The Boston Transcript presents these
statistics
About sixty thousand hogsheads of sugar
have been received at this port in SIX
months. Nearly two hundred vessels have
Deen employed 10 DrlnS tnlS great quantity.
In addition to this large amount, more than
two hundred thousand bags, baskets barrels
and boxes have been landed here from
Brazil East Indies, Cuba, and domestic
ports, making some ten hundred and fifty
cargoes of sugar landed here since January
l. As {. great sugar market New York, of
course, takes the lead; but after that city
comes Boston, then Philadelphia, then
Baltimore, which latter city has a great
nap,arara and Porto Rico trade
Nearly fifty thousand hogsheads of mo-
lasses have been landed here since January
l, or from enc hundred and fifty to two
hundred cargoes. Boston in former times
used to lead every other city in the receipt
of molasses, but New York now exceeds
Boston in imports. By the above figures,
both IN sugars and molasses. will be seen
the prominent position of this city in the
trade in these great staples.

The following are few of the reasons why this
CONCRETE should be used in preference to all
other materials:
l. 1t has been tested through one Of the hottest OF
the heat of the sun.
2. Being in general use at the North. it necessa.
rily must be proof against cold.
g. 1t is as durable az. stone and much less expen.
sive.
4. 1t is perfectly mpervious to water. and conse.
quently quickly becomes dry when wet.
s. 1t makes dust in dry mud in wet weather.
6. It does not crack or crumble, nor is it washed
by the rain.
Z. 1. is impenetrable to grass. weeds or water.
g. It prevents noxious vapors gases, arising
from the ground beneath, and affords reservoirs
for filth or fostering decompositions.
9. 1t is laid down quickly. and ready for use when
finished.
10. 1t is easily taken up, easily relad, and easily
repaired when necessary.

and few of the parties who have had it put down,
may be known by the following references and most

recently offered, but improved, was in
troduced, proifcring the aid Of 81 500.
600 towards the completion of this road

by the Committee on Ways and Means
and its favorable consideration recon
mended 1t is especially provided
shat whatever money is obtained under
the bill, shall be wholly and exclusively
appropriated to tb! building and com.
pleting oil this important work, 50 as to
form AN independent road through from
Baltimore to its extreme terminus at
Willlamsport"
The Baltimore Saturday Niyh says:
This is exactly as it should be. The
Western Maryland Company now pay
the Northern Central some forty live
thousand dollars a year for the use of
its road from the Relay House to Bal,
tlmore, a distance OF only seven miles,
and at the same time is subservient to
its management and caprices, proving
seriously disadvantageous. To be wholly
independent in its connection, even now,
would be equal to fifty thousand dollars
advantage, annually-clcar prolific
the Western Maryland Company, and
more, heuceiorward, in proportion to
the certain Increase Of its business.
There has been, and still is, deter.
mined desire with our citizens aud PEG,
pie IN the western part OF Maryland, to
have this road com pleted; nor will the
subject ever be abandoned until their
wishes are gratided.
We hope, therefore, the City Council
will act promptly and decide the ques.
ton as speedily as possible. When it
goes before the Legislature VIC feel con.
hdeut it will find cordial acceptance
there.
The almost universal desire of Balti.
moreans to see this fayoritc enterprise
consummated, we feel perfectly assured
will secure large majority of their
votes when call upon to sanction the
ordinance on its being placed before
them for their approval.

The XVIII Amendment.


The Bridgeport CO.. Farmer thus
very clearly shows the incompatibility
of this Amendment with the XIVth ;
But suppose the Amendment be
adopted, will it have aay binding force
to prevent the exclusion Of negroes from
the ballot boxg The XIVth Amendment
says that any State may exclude negroes
from voting, but provides that they are
not to be counted in Congressional re,
presentation. In the XVIII Amend
ment there is no clause repeating the
NlVth, yet provides that no State shall
be allowed, under any condition, to
prohibit negro suffrage.
Now, the question is, If the XVIII
Amendment shall be decla red carried,
which is to govern The two Amend
ments are in direct conflict with each
other, aud vet they form part of the
same constitution. Is not the XlNth
Amendment just as binding as the
XVIII will be, it ratified Nothing
shows the shameless Inconsistency OF
the Radical party more than the fact
than in less than year from the time
it put the XVIII Amendment ON the
statute book, it ondeavors to repeal it
by the XVIII. But, as they allow both
to stand, will they not mutually defeat
one another Perhaps some of our
Radical contemporaries will answer
these questions.
OF the conflict between the two there
is no question, and as little that the
two cannot stand without DESTROY ing
each other. But Rndlculism is equal to
solving worse riddles than this. 1t
will so manage as to exclude the negro
votes in the North, and make them va,
lid in the South.
