case in or out of court, because his mere
oath of Office neither makes the offense
nor fixes its punishment. The true juror
finds according to the guilt or innocence
OF the prisoner, as the evidence is sworn
to IN his hearing; and to do this it
is essential that he should be both honest
and intelligent. Society does not main
tain this system because it offers greater
or lesser chances to the criminal, but be-
cause it proposes to free the innocent and
to punish the guilty with reasonable GER
tainty. The misfortune is that the svs-
tenn has been abused, until now it is the
refuge of crime. The lawyers have
driven out the original jurors, who were
selected from the best men in the COM
munity, to install i'll their places men who
make a living by filling that Office. We
have the professional juror, who hangs
about the courtroom to fill vacancies
and to make up the additional venire
when the genuine list has been exhausted.
And 1t is not improbable hat many of
these professionals are in league with the
very men they are sworn to try according
to the law and the evidence.
The remedy for this evil is to amend
the code in such a way that the jury shall
be made up of intelligent and capable
men, who will be willing to engage under
oath to return a verdict according to the
law and the evidence. We must accept
men as honest, and when the talesman
swears that he has heard about the case.
and has made up his mind, but is willing
to conform his decision to the law and the
evidence, he has given such evidence of
his intelligence and integrity as ought to
entitle him to be credited as a proper
JUROR. And as there are eleven other men
to act with him, the chances are as eleven
to one that the verdict will conform to the
law and the evidence as rendered in open
court, in presence of the prisoner and his
counsel. At least it is necessary to get
rid of the present ''trial by ignorance"

THE LESSEEs OF THE NEW CANAL.

1t Is rumored the city government will
commence suit for damages against the
lessees OF the New canal, holding them
responsible for the losses incurred by the
overflow. Rumor does not say to what
extent the city government will place the
damages-whether to an amount sufficient
to reimburse the city and taxpayers for
the taxes due or collected this wear on
property in the inundated district, or for
the full value of damage done property by
the overflow. If for the full value of
damage done property, the suit will be
important, inasmuch as the amount may
exceed a million dollars.
1t will be hard to estimate the damages
and still harder to collect them in case a
judgment should be obtained against the
lessees. The damages are principally to
small property holders, men who had
bought lots and improved them for resi-
dences. Here they had made their homes,
and by their Improvements helped to give
value to property in the district inun-
dated. The inundation has not only
driven many from their homes, but it has
caused other losses besides those incurred
by the depreciation in the value of prop.

SUPERINTENDENT WATCHPULNEss.

While the Times was abusing General
Butler for referring to the atrocities of
unreasonable in a late speech, what must
have been its own wickedness as it spent
a solid hour of fury in recalling to the at
tention OF the country equally ~unprofta-
bic suggestions in another department.
General Butler, in his speech on Decora-
ton Day, referred to Andersonville as a
spot which could only be relieved from
the gloom of its history by the display of
flowers above the tombs of those who
suffered so much and so unjustly. This
suggestion, which is really humane and
beautiful in its proposition to dispel the
nameless agony of the graveyard by the
Voiceless beauty of u%nnumbered flowers,
does not seem to US to be a piece of dia-
bolical ~sectionalism. 1t does not explode
our anger in any direction, but rather
soothes and comforts US with the rehec-
ton that the living can at least create
some joy in that lovely resting place
which was once so terrible to the appre-
tensions of those that are now dead.
The Times has a kind of nervous senti-
ment that its loyalty to the South is al
ways in doubt unless it is pegging away
at some man Dr. principle of acknowl-
edged unpopularity with the Southern
All this kind of superior patriot
ism wears OFF rapidly in the air.

A PRINTING SUIT EXPLAINED.

~ SUI LA
The REPUBLICAN seldom drags its bust
ness before the public or into the courts,
but the occasion has arisen which compels
US to do both, not only in our own behalf,
but in the interest of the city. New Or
leans is compelled by the necessities OF
her creation to have certain printing done,
and this printing belongs to the REPUB-
LICAN to do under a law of the State.
whose validity is not disputed. We need
not discuss at this time the justice or
policy of this thing, as these matters have
been ventilated in all sorts Of language
and with every imaginable argument for
the last two years. All that is necessary
to understand is that we have the right to
do this work, and the right is not
disputed. Moreover, we propose
to do the work as favorably
Z" any otH0i oLuOe' OeSplte our
rights and our disposition to fulfill
our obligations, the cityof New Orleans
has constantly abused our contract by CIV
ing to other city papers the printing
which belonged of right to US. Personal
inquiry has satisfied us that the Admins
traitor of Public Accounts was to be held
responsible for the diversion of u public
patronage, not through any ill-will, per
haps, against the REPUBLICAN, but because
he had a leaning toward that practice
which allows ones friend to starve while
an enemy is being fatted into a
good humor. Becoming tired of
this injustice, the public will see
that, instead of presenting our bill
and demanding pay for work which be-
longed to us, and which had been uniustlv
withheld, the REPUBLICAN simply put a
stopper on any further diversion of the
character mentioned. The public is not
interested in this matter particularly, ex-
cept to hear the reasons for the action of
Injunction which was commenced yester-
day in our behalf, in the Eighth District
Court. The printing is necessary work,
it will be done in our Office quite as
well as in others, therefore, the community
can rest easy that in enforcing our rights
We are not proposing to injure the city in
he slightest particular.

Quite an interesting contention is going
on in the Democratic camp as to the own
ership of the new platform which the
party has adopted, of submitting hereafter
to the laws and accepting the situation.
Considering that the Republican party is
the genuine and only owner of the entire
platform, having made the laws and en-
forced the situation, would it not be
honest and becoming in the Democracy
to admit that they are nothing more than
converts to a political policy which they
have resisted for years? Their preten-
tons as discoveries or inventors can not
be maintained, and every effort to palm
themselves off as such only makes them
ridiculous.

People will differ with the Picoyune as
to the ~desirability of fixing the response
bility for the present disastrous inunda-
ton upon the parties really to be blamed
therefor. 1t is both desirable to know
who the unfaithful agent was, in order to
avoid his future employment, and to pun
ish him with the excavations of the peo-
pie. Until the public attends to these
two duties, it will always be badly served.

1t is within the knowledge of our
readers that the Louisville Courier
Journal and the Mobile Register have been
holding an acrimonious controversy
about political matters for the last
six months, as the REPUBLICAN has
noticed the fact on more than one
occasion. Four years ago the Mobile
Register attempted to teach the Democ-
racy that the duty of all good men was to
accept the situation and obey the laws.
The Louisville Courier-JouTnol sailed in
and abused John Forsyth for this deser-
ton of the South and its traditions with
such venom that he recanted and again
became a slave to the prejudice of race
and caste. That was the first fight, and
the Mobile Register lost the day. Ten
months ago the Louisville C~ourier-,Journal
departed" to use a new figure
of speech, and assumed the iden-
teal position which it had driven
the Register from thirty-eight months
before. John Forsyth again made fight
in favor of the ancient traditions.
using the self-same arguments against the
Courier-Journal which that journal had
used with such effect against the Mobile
more than three years before.
Does the reader guess the result? For
5yth has been forced back into the same
he was driven from four years
ago, and he is now being patted on the
pack by the Courier-Jour7,al as an able and
obstinate editor. Both of these papers

DRIFTING INTO A MONARCHY.

France has agreed to admit the recon-
ciled Bourbons and Orleanists to citizen
ship and to allow them to occupy seats
in the congress of the republic. This
was done against the protest of u.
Theirs, who, although he has always been
an Orleanist and a monarchist, has. lately
developed himself into a republican. The
only condition imposed upon the princes
was that they would not intrigue against
the republic. NJ. Theirs may prepare
for the end. The royal scions will not
intrigue, but their friends will. All the
aristocratic families of the State and of
Europe will assist in overthrowing the
republic. The clergy will lend a hand
to restore the only power that offers
any hope of assistance to the Pope. The
very crimes of the commune, which will
be remembered whenever the republicans
of Paris begin to clamor for political
changes, as they will, all tend to make
the republic a failure at present in France.
In a very short time ever the liberals will
assail NJ. Theirs as not liberal enough,
and as against the mere cry for greater
liberty the friends of true freedom will
be forced to grant less than ever in order
to keep in subsection that mob which.
only last week, displayed its incapacity to
rule itself. NJ. Theirs and his party will
then naturally fall into the arms of the
Orleanists and become moderate monarch
lists. This seems to be the tendency of
affairs in Paris at the present time.
