A Juror Drops Dead in Court.
From the Hartford Times, Nov. 49,.


A startling event occurred to-day 10. the
Court Of Common Pleas The jury in a suit to
recover house reut had retired for consultation.
The balloting stood to 6. After further con-
sultatlon another ballot was taken, resulting 10
vote of to |. The one who voted alone
was Peter Cooke an old and we-kuuwn CT
tiZeu.
Some of his fellow jurors then argued the
case with him, and earnestly too. Mr.. Cooke
was observed to trcmbe, though he had been,
from advancing age, somewhat tremu!ous Tor
two or three years past He was ulau not
very easily shaken in his opinions, but on this
occasion the carue>tncsS of his fellow jurors ut
length carried him with them, aud an agree
meut was reached.
a few minutes later, aud while the members
of the jury were in the act of leaving the jury
room, Mr.. Cooke, who was standing by one Of
the seats while convcrsng with another jury
man, suddenly fell back over the scat in an un
CONSCIOUS condition.
Such aid as could be rendered was promptly
given, and in few minutes he revived.
You have heart affection, Mr.. Cooke -
said one Of the jury.
NO, [ don't know that there is any trouble
with my heart, replied Mr.. Cooke, nesitatlng
ly. but haven't felt quite right lately about
here '-paSSiug his hand across his lungs.
You knew, | suppose, that you fell to the
floor.
mo, indeed? Did I fall? didn't know it. y
The shock had been so sutllc that he did
not know what had hai:pened.
Soon after this Mr.. Cooke felt well enough
to return with the jury TO the court room; but
as soon as he entered, instead of going to the
seats provided for the jury, he sat down on
the first ofthe long benches. One Of the jury
called the attention of the Sheriff to the case,
telling him that Mr.. Cooks condition required
attention 10 m;uutc more Mr.. Cooke Tell
over in dying state, and within four minutes
he was quite dead. The verdict which was for
Mr.. Rauoey, the defendant, was received by
the Court and duly announced. 1t is believed
to be case without any precedcnt--a lror
dropped dead between the time of the agree
meut on the verdict and its delivery. II it had
been murder trial, no doubt, it might have IN
volved Il new iury-a new trial.

GENERAL GRANTS VISIT.

If made rs is asserted, for better
knowledge of Southern affairs, will be a
welcome one to every true Southern
heart. 1t is folly to condemn his policy
towards us rs indifferent and utterly y un-
friendly until after his proposed visit.
He came once rs the General, ard ell
dorscd the attitude of the South as peace
ful, and unanimous for friendly relations.
Congress contemned his report, and
treated us as foes in open revolution.
He is to come rs President. Let his
eyes be freed of the film of prejudice, and
his ears unstopBed to plants of injustice,
and his tour will convince him of state
of humility endured by the South, which
will show him that the troth at Apo
mattox has been faithfully kept by us.

The Tricks of the Ring.

Quite an interesting case came Up in
the Circuit Court before Judge Carpcn,
ter yesterday. 1t is cutitled the State Of
cx-relation. r. G. Shivervs Il. L. Cardozo
as state treasurer Mr Shiver has filed a
petition for writ of mandamus to
compel Treasurer Cardozo to pay five
thousand dollars upon warrant issued
by Comptroller Ncagle last year in favor
of G.. j. Slolbrand, superintendent Of the
pcaitentiary. Mcssrs. Montcith and
Bausket represented the rclator, and the
attorney-gcneral and G. d. Melton Esq,
appeared for tl,c State treasurer. From,
the plcadings, itappears that the warrant
for the payment of which the suit was
instituted was one of six each for five

LNCONGRIITl-.

The nations Of bnrbarous ages. who
by dint of numbers or sudden onslaught
ovcrcamc their more civilized ncighhors,
adopted generally the laws, habits and
refinement Of the vanqushcd. l! actua-
ted by sentiments of honor, rs all the
truly brave arc, they added to their
glory, by establishing Il friendly alliance
with their foes. After the overthrow OF
Of Rome by the Goths' (a people whose
name coupled terror and barbariSm as
their only altributcsl, this nation
brought into contact Of refining influences
threw off their brutality, and rclapscd to
humane and cultivated people. Their
aim, and natural one it was, rs man is
progressive creature, was to benefit.
and receive good nturn. They retained
in Office the Roman magistrates, for the
enforcement Of Roman laws No inno-
walton of good customs was permitted,
and even the surveillance Of the cou-
qucrcd provinces was left to the Roman
police, Brighter still was the magnan-
unity Of this fierce nation, III preserving
the noble works Of art, that they might
rival and initiate them. Modern
civilization can properly exchange
It's proud boast fol modern barbarism.
The most cnnobling qualities of man are

thousand dollars which had been deposi.
Ted with r. K. Scott, some time last MAY
as collateral security for note of fifteen
thousand dollars. The note ran on
bearing interest at the rate of one and a
half per centum per month, until few
weeks ago. Being then in funds, Mr..
Stolbrand applied to theex-Governor to
pay the money and redeem his note, or
to pny the interest on It. AS to this
point we are not clearly informed, but it
is immaterial. The fact is, or appears to
be, that r.. K. Scott, when called upon,
could not. or would not produce the
warrants which had been lodged with
him as collateral security. He had
drawn the full amount of his note. fifteen
thousand dollars. upon three of the
warrants, from the treasury, and had
surreptitiously and illegally disposed of
the other three. One of them had como
into the hands of the relator, after pass
ing to different individuals, and upon
this the present suit is based.
We do not care, for We think it is i'm
proper to discuss the legal points in
volved. These we leave to the court.
But we do think that Scott ought to be
prosecuted, if the facts as We hear them
are true; and in case of any loss 70 the
State, Mr.. Superintendent Stolbrand
ought to be held responsible for this GER
tiiicate, though in law, perhaps. the stctc
has received not cent of consideration
The fault lies either with Scott or Stol-
brand. The amount of money is not
much, but the principle isof great i'm
portancc.

decent Governor, the BIASED decree OF
the Chief Executive decided, for party
sake in favor of .he party nominee, who,
of course, was negro, and the proper
tool to degrade the people Of that com
,monwcalth. What is the effect? The
Southern States are ruled and robbed by
adventures and renegades. The seats
once filled by the noblest of men are
cursed with the vilest. The natives OF
the soil arc driven from any participa-
tion in her government, while they bear
the weight of taxation. Tarrifs are
maintained that oppress the South and
enrich the North. And the avowed OBJ
.?ect Of the American rulers is to con.
coct, and enforce any ana every scheme
that will be an Insult, or pengltv for
that objectionable offence of resisting, MS
did the fathers of the country for far less
cause than that which impelled the South
to throw off allegiance to the general
government. Ali appeals are vain.
The right of might is to oppress, and the
duty of the weak is to bear. Such is
our modern civilization.
