asked If he thought "the democrats would ever
cordially recognize the black mans rights ?"
Saunders answered that he did; ''that the lion

The jury in the Stokes case in New York came
into court this morning and announcing that
they were unable TO agree upon a verdict we're
Gischarged-just what might be, and doubtless
was, expected from jury selected as this one
was. Ii was hoped that under the new law of
the state, intended to admit intelligent men
INTO the jury box, the abuses under the old sys-
tem would be swept away, but it appears that
IN It's actual working the recent ordinance is no
better than the enc it supplanted. In this case
at least weeks time was consumed and over
one thousand men summoned at heavy expense
&c the state before ajury was selected, and then
sIch jury! The very first man accepted BY
tLe oefence had no sure knowledge of Fisk,
could, or Tweed; had heard of Fisk having been
Killed ION the stairs somewhere" but thought
little OF 1t, and did not speak of it except, per-
haps, to his own, family. As Judge Ingraham
observed, the Examinations were conducted in
such manner as to exclude 10 out of 20 men
who read the newspapers. And then after all,
this Wearisome and expensive sitting of
men results in the selection of twelve men who
are either so densely ignorant as not to have
heard OF one Of the most widely known crimes
Of the year, or who are so peculiarly constituted
that they have not thought whether the crime
was an illegal act or not. Why not take twelve
men from an asylum of idiots at once? 1t would
be quicker and not so expensive The sooner
New York legislators Undo their work OF last
session the better. According TO Judge Ingra-
lam the law they passed, by making not only
opinions OF the prisoners guilt or innocence but
also impressions and bisson the matter, the sub
Jeets Of challenge for principal cause, provided
Tor the exclusion from the jury box of the in
teihGent portion Of the community. For, said
his honor, with a little asperity, the man that
reads the newspaper accounts Of sueh transae-
tons as that before the court and does not form
ar.op Union on it must be fool and if he changes
the opinion so formed without having soma
cause fer 50 doing, he must also be a fool.

WELL DONE.

Based upon the amount of money
 needed for public school purposes in
 Pima county in the 1873, which
 amount was estimated by the Terri
 torial Superintendent of Public h.
 struction (the Governor), the Board of
 Supervisors have fixed the levy at 20
 cents on each $1OO of taxable prop
 perty. In doing this, the Board ex-
 hibited the right spirit-a spirit of
 proper regard for the community at
 large, as we'll as for the rising genera
 tion. We know the mass of the tax payers will cheerfully pay this tax and if there be any who will not cheerfully pay it. we rejoice that the Board has provided the unwilling task for them. The knowledge that good public schools are kept up in neigh borhood, is of real value to all the property in it, and 8 positive recom- mendation of worth to the property owners. Property is always more desirable within easy access of public schools 80 situated, it attracts the in telligent purchaser and valuable citi- zen. It IS neither @ good excuse morally nor financially for a man to object to paying public school tax because he may have no children to reap its advantages. The value of property and security to life are just ill proportion to the character of the government over them, and the gov ernment is good or bad according to the intelligence and public virtue of the people who conduct it. There is hardly a higher duty resting upon a people than that of educating their and it is the judgment of the American people that III the pub lie school is the only place this can be generally and successfully accom- plished. Hence, we say "well done" to the act of the Pima county Super visors in the matter of the levy for public school purposes.

 promptly passed by the American
 Congress.
 The letters l have received from the
 various Territories all strongly set forth the urgent need of such legisla- tion, and the Commissioner of Educa- tion, who has given the subject much thought, writes to me that he is ''very much distressed by the general neglect of public instruction in the Terri tories."
 cannot better conclude my neces- sarily hurried remarks on this, the only opportunity granted me to dis cuss a great question, upon which 1 had hoped to speak at length and with care, than by quoting the fol- lowing from his last report:
 After careful examination of all the sources of information last year, the popu- latiou of the District of Columbia and the Territories was put down at seven hundred thousand, the humber of Indians more or less directly cared for by the General Gov ernment in the several States was found to be one hundred thousand, making a total of over eight hundred thousand. For all this populati on the national Govern ment IS as directly and intimately responsible in all particulars as are :he several : tate gov ernments for their own citizens. No ele ment of this responsibility more completely underlies all others than educ .tion. It determines both the capacity for sentiment and action.
 In the early history of the Governments lively appreciation of this responsibility was shown. Few acts stand out more con- spicuously in the annals of those times than the ordinances which determined the char acter of the civilization of the northwestern territory. Moreover, the early settlers were chiefly from those portions of the Union most advanced, and they were likely to be the most enterprising of the section from which they came. Foreign interference, possible or actual, in reference to bound aries, perhaps quickened public attention. Of this nothing now exists to excite appre hension or put the country upon its guard. The Territories are securely our own. Open, indeed, to immigration from all the world, portions of them are as fully con- trolled by the higher elements of our civilization as any part of the country, while in others foreign i'm migration is much greater than formerly, and in some, the mass of the population, as in New Mexico and Utah, are of foreign birth or parentage; thus presenting reason for anxiety that there should exist from the first all those especially common schools, upon which in a peculiar sense we must depend for the formation of character | fully in h armony with the sentiments and practices which elsewhere prevail, and which are the glory of our land.
 It is not enough that the form of the | institutions of liberty is recognized in the statutes and governments of these Terri tories. Those instrumentalities calculated to inspire a love of freedom, and an un- derstanding and appreciation of it's objects, customs, and laws, should be active, uni- yer sal, and efficient.

THE DIAMOND BUSINESS.

San Francisco has been in a spark ling excitement for some weeks. Our readers last week were advised of the diamond company which was formed in San Francisco, capital $10, ,000, 900. Reports say the stock sold rapidly and men of wealth and common sense made investments. The Alta treats the subject at length and apparently as job of merit. The Bulletin does not deny but rather admits the credi- bility of the statements made, but cautiously refers to the standing of 8 few men who seem to have led off in working up the project. The Bulletin is informed, as it thinks credibly, that the diamonds were found on the 32d parallel, near the Sonora line not far from, and probably within, Arizona. In this we are quite positive that journal is misinformed, and if the diamond stories are true in the main, we can easily understand why the manipulators would want a stable paper to mislead the public. We have many reasons for believing that this diamond excitement is based upon stones found near and probably in the northeastern part of Arizona. It is not necessary for us to fan the fervor of this excitement. The papers far and wide are discussing it as genuine, and we will go slow and watch devel- opments, neither urging any to go to or stay away from wherever they choose to believe the gems exist.
