Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-04-29

MUCH Is said and has been written
in the APPEAL in reference to the
virtues of professional jurors. A cor
respondent says I've have 50 many
courts that professional jurors are q
public necessity. If we had them
not, business men, devOting indus
trious lives to the single purpose of
paying taxes, would utterly fail in
their tasks, and instead Of supporting
the officers Of the country, they would
sit as jurymen, and they and the
whole country would starve." Our
correspondent is somewhat extreva-
CANT in his expressions when be saws
that sin the nature Of things and to
maintain inviolate the sanctity Of
Oaths no man should serve as a Juror
oftener than once a year" Perhaps
section 1888, page III Of our code was
based upon this apprehension Of NOR
al results affecting the business Of
iurymen. The code provides that
mo court shall appoint any person to
serve As a jury more than one time
in each period Of twelve months,
on the original panel, OF Z. 81.
q vacancy therein; nor no person who
has an action pending in the court at
the term to which he is nominated
Our attention has been directed to
this matter by an assault made upon
a jury by an excellent attorney a few
ago, who seems TO think that
dead beats and professional iurymen
are ~intolersble public calamities.

VERY soon we hope to hear that
Messrs. Greenlaw, Tate and their as
sOciates have begun the construction
Of the road from Devalrs TO Pine
Bluff, a distance Of fifty miles, and
through the richest and most attract
i've farming district of Arkansas. OF
course, this Pine Bluff branch is to be
extended sixty miles to Camden, on
the Ouachita, and thence seventy
miles to Shreveport, or Marshall, the
initial point Of the Southern Pacific
road. The whole distance from De-
wallis, at the White river bridge, on
the Memphis and Little Rock road, to
Shreveport, is about one hundred and
eighty miles. 1t is 70 the construction
Of this highway that this city
now asks Messrs. GTeenlaW and
Tate to devote their energies.
Surely there can be no want
Of material aid. The Memphis and
Charleston road is the best equipped
and as wisely managed as the most
successful and profitable Of Southern
roads, but S~tanton's parallel line is on
the south, and the Memphis and Ohio
read north Of it, and thus the Mem
phis andC Charleston is crushed between
the upper and neither m~illstOBes. Its
way Of escape lies through the rich
slluvial fields Of Arkansas. Its fu-
ture pr06tableness depends wholly
upon its western connections and
practical consolidation with Virginia
roads. Its real wealth and value are
not impaired, and both would be
augmented by the assumption Of any
liability that would secure its prscti-
cal extension to Shreveport. So with
the Louisville and Memphis road,
whose President wiz soon command
the resources and the vast financial
power incident to supreme mastery
over one thousand miles Of railway
lines penetrating Tennessee and Ala
bama, even 70 the Gulf coast, and
then reaching down to Memphis, and
seeking for wider fields for the acqui-
siti0n Of splendid wealth and great
ness. President Newc0mb would
hardly fail % make any expenditure
which may give his roads precedence
in the strong competition for the tat
hc and travel Of States west Of the
Mississippi A thousand miles of
railroad signify thirty millions Of dol
lars, with al the forces incident 70
such an aggregation Of wealth. Fear
nsthing. Ways and means VIII not
be wanting for the nnmediate exten-
sion Of the Pine Bluff branch to Mar
shall, Texas. Couudes and towns
readily subscribe, and these Eastern
roads win furnish aH that Is asked.
