Our Present Jury System.

AS ADMINISTERED at present our jury
laws serve to obstruct and defeat justice
In criminal cases, rather than promote il.
Designed originally to shield the pubpe
from arbitrary and prejudiced action 0f
irresponsible rulers, to commit the life
and liberty of the citizen into the jealous
keeping of his neighbors and peers, who
could protect him from the penalty Of
trumped-up charges unsusceptible of
proof, while their own interest as w,ll as
their sworn duty assured conviction of
the culprit whose guilt was proved, the
jury was long the cherished guardian of
popular rights. We have changed all
that. In the early days those who knew
the circumstances of an alleged crime
were the immediate neighbOrs. They
were likely TO be biascL by prejudice.
Now the daily newspaper, with lightning
dispatches. acquaint all people Of average
intelligence of the circumstances of all in
teresting criminal events throughout the
whole country. Thus the rule which
holds it requisite to reject from jury all
who, being conversant with the reported
facts, have formed an impression as to the
guilt or innocence of the prisoner, really
excludes from the panel all the really
good jurors, puts stOlid ignorance at a
pItiLluiu anu pldCeiCdiiy hidhOS ~ oihAOSe
| impossible to secure panel for an inn
portant trial. We have case in point
where the second Stokes trial occupied the
Oyer and Terminer fol. four days, and
barely secured the twelve men deemed
qualified for the jury. 1t cannot be
doubted that were this rule abr0gated a
far better panel than is possible to secure
under it could be empaneled in two hours
All rejecting men know that such opin.
ion as may be formed from hurried
news report in the mind of right-think.
ing man will at once be corrected on list
ening to the careful presentation of the
facts in evidence. Intelligent citizens
who keep up with the news Of the day BY

to whose verdict an innocent man or ,
ljudicious public prosecutor would wish tc
entrust an important case. Let us, then
so change our jury laws as to allow this

American Hyperbolisms.

The hyperbolical or tall species of
American humor, was much in vogue
some years ago, and such stories as the
following were once very common: "a
man was so tall that he had to 60 up a
ladder to shave HIMSELF" ''another was
so strong that his sneeze would kill buff
falo across the Mississippi river" "a
Massachusetts pig was so lean that it was
necessary to tie knot in his tail to pre-
vent it getting through the chinks of the
paling." IAN American artist painted a
snow storm so naturally that he caught a
bad cold by sitting near it with bis coat
Off" ''Some land was so rich that squash
vine in its rapid growth, overlook drove
of pigs" 1.-The reason why cream is
dear Is that milk has risen so high the
cream can't reach the top" There is a
capital story, in which it is related that
"a coach drove through the country SO
fast, and a mile stone passed so quickly
by, that the passengers thought they were
in q church-yard." This coach, however
was beaten by the skipper which wen!
so tarnation fast, that in sailing round

Abuses of the Postal Card System.

WHEN the postmaster general informed
us of the new privilege by which We
could communicate with our friends at .
cost of one half-penny, instead OF PEN
ny, we were not indisposed to rejoice that
we could get anything at halfprice. The
rejoicings were considerably moderated
when we were told that our communica-
tons must be written upon an open card,
the observed of all observers. II did not
require conjurer to tell us that half-pen-
ny post cards would be liable to scandal
Gus abuse, and that the new method Of
conveying messages would be means for
disseminating abominable libels. We
ventured to point this out at the COM
mencement, and our words have been
more than verified.
From that day to this VIC have heard OF
nothing but libels. Impertinent shop
girls in the Burlington arcade have grata-
itously insulted ladies Of title; and irrita-
BILE gentlemen, like Mr.. John Hampden,
with I" fad" concerning the rotundity Of
the earth, have used post cards for the
worst purposes. Every miserable little
tradesman who owes grudge, and every
scoundrel who dare not say openly what
he thinks, flies to the half-penny post card
to crafty a mean feeling OF paltry re-
venge. Post cards having been tried.
therefore, for some considerable time and
having been proved to be extremely dan
gerous weapons, 1t becomes q question
for the postmaster-general to decide how
| long he will retain them as an authorized
means of communication. For private
purposes they are useless. Courtesy ana
decency alike prohibit their use by all
well versed in the ordinary decencies OF
society. For what purpose, therefore,
are post cards retained? Thrifty house.
keepers use them for ordering Goals and
candles. Secretaries of charitable socic-
ties are not above employing them for tho
purposes of Importantly. For summon
ing meetings and collecting councils they
may be handy enough, but they are . per-
petual annoyance to editors Of newsps-
pers, who would cheer the hour when
they were abolished. Their condemns
ton is pronunced in the recent libels on

Wallace. Era.

German immigration to America.

A North German newspaper in Berlin
has entered on the task of explaining to
the Prussian people and of defending be-
fore the nation the recent act of the Inn
perial Executive for the regulation Of
emigrant fares, the advance Of the rail-
road tariff charges for emigrant baggage,
and other edicts of similar import, tend
ing to repress the voluntary exodus of the
people to America by increasing the cost
of travel to the home points of embarka-
ton to the United States. This press
duty, if it be q duty, is all very fair, and
it may be very patriotic. But when the
German writer comes to charge "exag-
geration" and distortion" offacts against
the American press for its manner OF re.
cording and commenting on the facts, and
also to Indirectly accuse the Washington
government of failing in its treaty nego-
tiations, by willful delay in the compile
ton of a satisfactory instrument tor the
regulation of emigration during many
wears, the whole matter of this emigran'
law movement in Germany is made to be
come rather serious; not only to thf
Germans who wish to come to the Re
public and their to friends who await to re
ceive and assist them on landing, but also
to the diplomatic comfy which should
always be maintained between great ant
friendly nations."-N Y. Herald.

The Vienna Exhibition.

In the opening chapter of the "Pick-
wick Papers" it is recorded that at. a
meeting of the Pickwick Club it was
unanimously resolved that Messrs. Pick
wick, Tupman. and Snodgrass have leave
of absence i'm order to travel and investi-
gate on behalf of the society, and that
they also have the unanimous permission
of the society to pay their own expenses.
The liberal policy of this celebrated Club
has been initiated by Congress in the pas
sage of resolution authorizing the Pres
ident to appoint commissioners to Vienna,
g Provided, that such appointments shall
not impose on this Government any LA
bility for the expense which they may oc-
casiOn;" which is only another way
of saying that the agents have the
unanimous permission of the Govern
ment to pay their own expenses. 1t Is
perfectly competent for Congress to de-
cline the invitation and to apologize on
the score of poverty and of great ma
tional debt; but to accept the invitation,
and thus render creditable representa-
ton of the industries and products of the
country impossible by neglecting to pro-
vide for the expense attending such dis
play, is insulting to the Austrian govern
ment and humiliating to every patriotic
citizen of the country. We are informed
that when the official invitation from the
Imperial government reached this coun-
! try there appeared on the corner of the
diplomatic cap the cabalistic letters X. S.
v. P, and that these being shown to a
sapient member of Congress were inter-
prcied to mean Return some valuable
present." whereupon the honorable men,
Der made speech which led to the pass
age of the resolution above cited. We
cannot vouch for the accuracy of the an.
ecdote, but do not look upon 1t as at all
improbable; and this reminds us OF the
proposition of a contemporary that the
space set apart for the United States in the
| Palace of Industry should be devoted to
an exhibition of the portraits Of some OF
the leading members of Congress, with
copies of speeches actually delivered by
them, translated into various languages
framed, and suspended beneath their pic.

stage of culture to be found in our legis

have made most wonderful inventions
but when it comes to exhibiting them TO
