The new law will simply summon less
number. and if more should be needed,
will authorize the Sheriff, tbcD as now, to
pick up additional jurors.
The ignorance exhibited by Alpha as
to the mode Of selecting Grand Jurors is
in keeping With that displayed in the rest
of bis letter This sapicnt commentator on
the laws should know that under TIE pres
ont law the Gruul Jurors are not drawn
by lot. but are selected by the Sheriff.
and That this has ever been done in this
State. and has been sanctioned by the 10
falIibIe law makers of the Republican par
ty.
We regret that we are called upon to
notice such inexbau8tlbIc ignorance or
such gross mcudaciry, We are sorry That
tho Republican party should feel called
upon to use such means to creep back IN
10 power; but it seems that they are de-
termined to attack every act of the pres.
ent Legislature, good or. b1d-bui they
are to be abused for changing the Re.
publican Code, and equally as well abused
for endorsing it. We do not claim that
the present Legislature is not liable to
cnmmit error-bul On the other hand we
are not willing to say that everything they
do is error
We ask the people to refrain from CON
demning, until the laws which shall be
enacted by the Legislature shall have been
tried and found wanting, or at least until
We can ascertain what has been done -
We ask our Democratic friends not to be
persuaded to join in the bowl nov going
up from the Republican papers until they
have had an opportunity at least to test
the truth of the charges hurled against the
Legislature. The inacccs,ibiIiy of the
Capitol, and the difficulty of obtaining re-
liable information, afford an excellent op-
portunity for the Republican Journals to
misrcpresent the Legislature, aud should
Clusc US 10 be careful not to swallow as
truth of gospel everything we hear from
that section. The truth'uIncSs Of the In.
tclligcuccr in days gone by has not been
so high character as to induce Demo
Gratis to believe, without questioning, its
assertions
The examples We have given should
put our friends upon their guard, aud we
hope that some in our immediate vicini
ty will not in the future put 50 much faith
il alpha" aud Others of his ilk that
they will not charge the Legislature with
changing the laws when no change has
been made aud that they will not con
lcmn rrputed acts but wait until The acts
themselves are before them.
