Negro Juries,

A correspondent of the CINCINNATI
Commercial has been in the Red River
Country, where the black population so
largely preponderates, and the iuries
are selected from both races. He says ::
81 asked white man who had had con
siderable jury experience, how it worked.
He said cit worked tolcrably we'll after
fellow got used to it.
"Did it take much effort to get used
to it?" | asked.
eyes, sir, YOU bet it was the con
foundest hardest thing to get used to
ever you heard Of haven't got used to
the smell yet. Of a hot day in close
room with lot of fat niggers sitting on
case, it's pretty hard. But we have
to submit, for if some of us white ne %
pie didn't go on the jury 1t would be ali
niggers, and that would be ruin"
"How are the juries divided 2" I
asked
"Oh, just as it happens, SO there is
some OF each race on every jury. Some
times there's only two niggers, some
times four, sometimes six, and sometimes
ten"
Glow are they about agreeing upon
vordicts p
"They are better than the whites.
The niggers never hang jury. When
L am on jury with them, and the suit
Is on an account, for instance, just
hgure up the amount, and say: Boys.
here, Jones owes Smith SO much and
SO much and so much, giving the figures
much, giving figures, which leaves Jones
behind with Smith so much, aud that's
what We must render Judgment for"
They all agree to it, although they don't
know any more about figures than hog
does about theology"
."Ill say this for the nisgers," he
continued. "thoy are not stubborn on a
jury at all; but as far as MY experien &C
goes, they aro always anxious to do the
right thing between man aud man"
"When their own color is ievolyed
how is il 2" l asked.
"Just the same. They do not shield
their own people. They'll hang a mig
ger for murder just as quick as they will
white man, aud good deal quicker
Sometimes think they are little too
hard on their own race But suppose
they fear We will charge them wita par
tiality. On the whole, nigger makes
pretty fair juryman
"Was there no great opposition to his
serving in that capacity? 2"
"Oh, yes, thunder was to pay for a
while. White men said they weuldn't
sit with niger, they would die first,
and all that, but they had to swallow
the dose, and have now got used to it

Peabedy schools. !

EDIToRs HERALD AND TRIBUNE:
/ was somewhat surprised few weeks
since, on seeing a piece in your paper
against Peabody Schools, written by one
Mr.. *" of Kingsport. He seems to
doubt the efficiency Of these schools, ask
ing the impertinent question: care Pea.
body Schools really beneficial to the edu
eational interests Of our State?" He
says be is led to negative conclusion,
and gives few reasons for his convictions
on the subject. Having b0en personally
acquainted with school Of this grade for
several months, which is now in progress.
| will write nothing which is not based up.
on strict fact. His first is the only
grounded reason adduced, viz: that to
obtain aid from this fluid a very large at
tendance is required. think, myself,
that more good could be realized from
this fund if applied in different way.
The amount allowed each State might be
added to the regular school fund Of that
State. 1t might be amended in different
ways. But We will pass to his second
objection, which, we have reasons to be-
lieve, he aimed more as personal slang.
than as an objection to Peabody schools.
1t is this: The large attendance required
makes it impossible for the teachers to
give the attention necessary to each
scholar. The only reason we can see for
such an assertion is that Mr.. "K." is
somewhat miffed at Peabody school in
the neighborhood adjoining his "High"
School. Is it not reasonable that two
teashsrs could attend to one hundred stu
dents as easily as one could manage fifty 7
OF course you answer in the affirmative.
Well, | will make the assertion, that il
is as easy for two teachers to manage one
hundred, as for one TO attend to twenty
Eve. In school of twenty five there are
students Of ell grades, from the alphabet
to the languages, and higher mathematics.
In school Of ono hundred there can be
30 more. Itrequires no longer to hear
recitation of class Of four students than
class Of one. Not only this, bat it is
just as easy for two to discipline a large
school. as for one to govern small one.
Mr.. *" further alleges that it is bad
policy to bring aid from other source, to
.edacats the children Of Tennessee; be.
Cause he observes, she is able to help her.
self Would that it were so. But We
are told that Tennessee. North Carolina
excepted, is farther behind ia educational
matters than any other State in the
