In discussing the question of eeono-
my By remodelling the practice in the
courts, We never suggested the aboli-
ton ofthejury system, as some have an
derstood US. We know the value ofthe
right oftrial by jury toe well to advocate
any such rash measure. We do say,
however, that when men go to law to
collect money, or to adjustaDy individ-
ual quarrel which in no wise concerns
the public, that they ought to pay the
expense of the jury and not saddle it
upon the backs of the people Allsuch
cases can as we'll be settled, without
the intervention of jury, by law
court. as by a court Of equity. In
neither case will there be abrogation
of the right of trial byjury, buta vast
saving of unnecessary cost TO the
people of the county.

it presents an undivided front, as a

all will be well. But when we remem-

There are questions, perhaps, upon

that they meet in Congress as men in

and in pirit ofconciliation. Theviews
of both may be extreme and, upon a

MISS NELLY,S FELLOW.

Isee that your Washington correspoR-
dent has fallen into the prevalent mistake
regarding the family of Mr.. Sartoris, fiance
of Mis- Grant. The Capital has already
proved TO the entire satisfaction of every
one that he is not descendant of "Sartor
Resartus," and the remainder may be Of
very little consequence to the country at
large. Still, for the qualification of few
friends, / hope you will make the following
correction: Mr.. George Charles William
Frederick AlgeTnon Sartoris is a son of Mrs.
Adealide SartoUis-ne Kemble-author OF
the charming novelette,, =" A Week in a
French Country House," This, by the way
is a description of the home of her brother,
in France, and ,all the personages of the
story are drawn from life. He is nephew
of Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler, conse-
quently grand son of Charles Kemble an6
a great nephew of Mrs. Siddons. The dis
tinguished Admiral Sir George Sartoris, X.
c. b. belongs to an entirely different family.
The name is differently spelt, and even diff
erently pronounced. In Mr.. Sartoris' patro-
nymic the accent is on the first syllable. in
the other case the last syllable is accented.
Mr.. SaItoris is remarkably handsome, has
winning manners, and is deservedly great
favorite in society. His marriage will prob
ably take place in the following October
He does not propose revisiting England be-
fore the event."

BosToN, March 16.-An autopsy Of the
body of Senator Sumner was made this
morning, and made public as follows: The
left coronary artery for considerable por-
ton of its length was so much ossifed that
its calibre was diminished at least one-half
The right coronary artery was slightly
atharomalous, and considerably enlarged.
The cavities of the heart were di-
lated, especially the lower tSird of
the left ventricle. The walls of this
ventricle were generally thinner
than usual; especially so at point about
an inch and half from the apex, over a
space of two-thirds Of an inch in diameter.
In the vicinity of this were several small
clOts of blood, some of which had formed
before death. Nothing abnormal was found
in the brain or other organs. DR.. Brown

mitted by Brooks are dlscerned in the brain.
There is very general suspension of bust
