The young man gazed steadily At the
three mystic signs, for moment, and
then leaned back in his seat, thoughtfully'
agitated, and evidently struggling with
some internal emotion which was reignIng
IN his mind
" Dark all dark he murmured, wea-
rily " What the implication, the threats
or the symbols refer to, know not. The
last, those secret and singular signs,
know something of, for they are the
signs of a secret association in India. But
what can | have to do with these things.
Perhaps but will think no longer over

having been paid to it either by DR..
Huston or his counsel the case was yes

THE JURY Law.

The House of Delegates has for two
days had the jury law under considera-
ton. The qualification of jurors nave
formed the main subject OF discussion
The law as originally proposed, contain
ed provision disqualifying tor jury
service, persons who had formed or e1-
pressed an opinion upon the case. IL
urged on Wednesday by Mr.. Butcher,
that this was virtual prescription OF
intelligence, since all intelligent men do
form options of pending cases from
what they read or hear of the facts rela-
ting thereto. 1t is the ignorant classes
particularly who do not inform them
selves and reach no conclusions. But
the previous expressions Of an opinion
does not prevent its being changed and
fair jud gment reached, in view OF law
and evidence. 1t was therefore properly
held that the disqualification indicated
should not be incorporated in the law,
and the House so decided.
Then came discussion upon the ques-
ton of striking out the word "white' as
qualification for jurors. Messrs. Butch
er, Thompson, Bradford and others,
contended that it was hardly consistent
to provide for securing intelligent jurors
as had been done, and then to flood the
jury boxes with ignorance by admitting
negroes indiscriminately. Messrs Da.'-
export, Morrison and others, held that
to retain the word "w hite" as qualiti-
cation, might be construed as viola
ton of the latter amendments OF the
Federal Constitution, and for this rea-
son should be stricken out. The House
at first agreed to strike out, but yester
day the action was reconsidered, and
the word "white" restored as qualiti-
cation.
We think this whole difficulty might
be solved by allowing negroes on trial,
10 have jury Of their own race if they
so desire We hear no objection to this.
The judgment of his peers" would then
be secured to the colored criminal be-
yond question, aid all cavil about the
matter would be avoided Charleston
