/, THE progress Of the Geneva tribunal is
reported as proceeding satisfactorily. The
verdict will soon be made known, and it is
believed that it will command the assent of

Ohio is taking the lead in bringing about re-
form IN the matter of the qualification of jurors
The house of the state assembly has passed an
act providing that persons who read newspaper
reports OF criminal transactions shall not be in
competent to sit on juries, and Columbus dis
patch says the senate has concurred in the ac-
ton OF the house. The judiciary committee of
The senate, to whom the bill was referred on
coming from the house, recommended that the
entire proviso in regard to forming opinions
from newspaper reports. &C., be stricken out,
ana NAT one cause of challenge be that the per-
son proposed as juror "has formed and ex.
pressed and still entertains an opinion As 10 the
guilt or innocence of the accused The sen-
ate refused to accept the amendment, however.
and the bill passed just as it came from the
house liz is about time for the abolition of the
absurd restrictions by which only idiots incapa-
bic OF forming an opinion, and ignoramuses who
don't read the newspapers, are eligible for iurv
duty.
