ment was read, the jury being Instructed

During the high prices of cotton caused
BY the rebellion, India exported to England
$50, 900 worth of that product; butnow
that America is again prod ucing great crops,
the Hindoos find competition with our plant
ers in vain, and Indian merchants refuse to
forward cotton to England at present prices
Avast amount of English capital has been
expended in India to foster and develop the
cotton culture; but superior soil, more skill.
full cultivation, and cheaper freights give
the American planter an advantage which
can not be overcome.

1t is rather singular that jury composed
of colored men entirely should have been
chosen to try Earle and Garvey. who stand
charged with most heinous and cruel muir
der and robbery. 1t is likely that most, If
not all, of the persons who compose this
Jury, were never before called upon to per
form similar duties. and if it is intended to
test their capacity for high and responsible
duty to society, we trust they will discharge
it in manner that will sustain their claims
to equal civil and political rights. They
now have solemn duty to perform, both
to their race and society.
