people. If the captains to-day continue
to disregard the Mayors order, as they

A NEW JURY BILL.


A bill has been introduced in the
House by Mr.. Lindsey, of Davidson, to
provide for the appointment of three
Jury commissioners in each county, and
to prescribe mode of summoning petit
and grand juries. The three commits
sioners, when appointed by the circuit
judges, shall select one hundred names
of suitable persons to serve at the next
term. The names, shall be sealed up
until within thirty days of the next
term and then given to the sheriff.
Meanwhile secrecy is enjoined on the
commissioners, aud no one else knows
who has been selected The court may
increase or decrease the number Of per-
sons to be selected by the commission
ers. The proposed system has some
merit and might answer in some of the
interior and thinly populated parts of
the State where courts are only held a
few weeks in the year. The present
law provides that juries shall be selected
by the county courts, but as this is never
done, the judges usually make out list
through the clerks. When a vacancy
occurs some outsider is summoned in
stantly. The proposed system, BY the
time it comes from the hands of the
Judiciary Committee, will probably
commend itself very favorsbly to the
bar and public.

HIGH PRICE OF COAL.

1t usually happens that the price OF
coal goes up in proportion to the fall OF
the thermometer. Whatever the supply
If coal laid in beforehand, il is certain
TO be scarce and high in extreme cold
weather like the present. Those who
are able may ill their cellars early IN
the season; they at least are independent
of the market, and can view the rise and
fall Of prices with little personal con-
Germ But other classes buy coal as
they need it, from week to week, bar
rel or two at time. They cannot an
ticipate famine prices if they would, and
in. such times as these are the chief suf-
ferers While people in ST. Louis com
plain loudly at one dollar barrel, some
of our dealers are charging two dollars
without any compunction They have
clearly Il legal right to charge what
thew can get; but that aspect of the
question affords no relief to cur sut-
fering poor. At such times we hear talk
of citizens union to supply the needy
at cost but the first day the sun shines
out the subject is dropped and forgotten
until the next polar wave sweeps down
and brings suffering and misery to our
doors and almost to our hearthstones.
Coal sold yesterday, we are informed, at
two dollars aud a half per barrel. This
price puts it almost out OF the reach oil
the hard.working classes. Widespread
suffering and want greet us on every
hand aud vet there is no plan on foot
adequate to the emergency. The Relief
Committee has done nobly, but the means
raised are exhausted, and contributions
come in slowly. An appeal has been
made to the churches. and we hope they
will respond literally and in the
spirit of true Christian beneyolenee-
But surely this annual fuel famine and
appeal to public sympathy should teach
a lesson not to be forgotten IN warm
weather. The community, as body, is
able to lay in an abundant supply OF
coal during the summer months to last
all winter, and supply the needy poor at
a price which would be reasonable, and
at the same time pay the cost risk and
interest on the money invested The ways
and means exist, il few of our citizens
would take the matter in hand and carry
out such scheme as business sagacity
and prudence would justify; but for the
present all we can do is to contribute
our mite to the sufferers in our midst.

A dispatch from the Supervisor Of In
ternal Revenue, at San Francisco, ask
ing if his (Stete's) and Judge Rosbo,
rough names might be used in the or
ganization of peace committee to visit
Captain Jack and try to effect settle
ment of the troubles. Judge Rosborough
replied that his duties as District Judge
prevented his accepting the trust bnt
that Stete would be glad to CO..
Stete has no doubt that he will
be able to- see Captain Jack with
out risk, but doubts the possibility
of arranging peace, for reason that
settlers in the river country would never
consent to it. Besides, he thinks, Cap
tain Jack, having won two decided vie.
tories, will require good thrashing
before he will consent to treaty at all.
If Stete goes he will be accompanied by
two or three citizens, unarmed, and trust
to Captain Jacks honor to be listened
to without Elolestation. .,

A Brighton, Mass, man took singu.

day. A runaway horse came tearing
around a corner, bringing the sleigh
against the legs Of the man in such a
manner that he was thrown head fore
most into the vehicle. The horse ran
with such furious speed that the invol-
untary passenger in the sleigh, who was
attempting to collect his scattered senses,
found it impossible to getout. IN few
moments, however, he was relieved OF
his embarrassment by process as sum
mary as that by which he fell into it.
The horse, in his headlong career,

concussion tossed the single inside pas
