CITIZENS BUT NOT JURORS.

During the court terms OF 1874 and
1875 many respected citizens of New Or
leans obtained exemption from jury duty,
under the new law, by declaring that they
were not citizens of the United States
In every case they were excused, although
some were well known as having particle
pated actively in politics. The practice
in the various courts was very dissimilar
In some the simple assertion was con-
sidered sufficient and the name was
erased from the sheriff's list. In others
written declaration, or statement on
oath, was exacted. No record was made
in either of these cases, and no report was
made to the jury commissioners. In the
Superior Criminal Court the practice has
always been to require written declara-
ton under cath, before the clerk, which
is filed. This should be the practice in
all the courts. The law has been de-
signed to secure the impaneling Of good
jurors, and the details of the duty of
drawing names carefully set forth. It is
matter of importance each time jury
is ordered that the commissioners should
know what has become of the names pre-
viously drawn. II any were exempt, for
what cause; if because of service, that
they may not be drawn again within the
legal time; if because temporarily dis
qualified, they may be returned to the
wheel If the names of those who are
not citizens have been placed in in it they
should be kept on file that when they after
ward become citizens they may be called
upon for this duty.
The law creating the present system of
drawing juries, being part of the law
creating the Superior Criminal Court, it
follows that the court has certain super
vision Of the jury commissioners. 1t
would be of advantage if Judge Steele
were TO issue an order directing more
attention to the final results of each draw
ing in all the courts. A very little atten-
ton to this would be sufficient. Of the
thirty-six names, the sheriff could report
which were those of accepted jurors, who
were excused for disabilities of age, sick
ness, occupation, absence, privilege, or
non-citizenship, and those who were not
found. OF each drawing some should be
returned to the box, and the books of the
commissioners should give record of
each case.

MR. FELLOWS PLAN.

Mr.. Fellows has availed himself of the
opportunity presented by the REPUBLICAN
to offer some suggestions for solving the
city debt problem. His plan, it will be
seen, consists in selling the wharves, from
which he expects the corporation to real
ize very large sums of money, besides
adding some millions to the taxable prop
erty. We might offer many serious OBJ
jections to this measure: We believe there
is one which would be fatal, even in the
opinion of its proposer, viz: The wharves
could not, in our Judgment, be sold for
one-tenth of the minimum sum mentioned
by Mr.. Fellows. But it is not our inten-
ton to give more than mere reference to
the communication. The writer is well
come to the columns Of the REPUBLICAN,
as any other. gentleman will be who
wishes to briefly discuss the matter,
whether we agree with him or not. We
have no definite plan to relieve the city
Of it's financial embarrassments, but will
cheerfully acquiesce in that which, upon
full showing seams to be the best.

REMARKABLE PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS.

Among the notable professional men OF this
country who have achieved extraordinary sue
cess is DIR. X. V. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. Y. The
prominence which he has attained has been
reached through strictly legitimate means,
and, SO far, therefore, he deserves the enviable
reputation which he enjoys. This large meas
lre Of success is the result of thorough and
careful preparation for his calling, and ex-
tenslve reading during long and unusually
large practice, which have enabled him to gain
high commentator, even from his professional
brethren. Deyoting his attention to certain
specialJies Of the science he has so carefully
Investigated, he has been rewarded in a re-
markable degree. In these specialties he has
become a recognized leader. Not few Of the
remedies prescrbe1 by him have, it is said,
been adopted and prescribed by physicians in
their private practice. His pamphlets and
larger works have been received as useful con-
trbutions to medical knowledge. He has re-

A special session of the Board was
held yesterday afternoon.
Ordinances to assess tax on the fol-
lowing streets were passed: Eggleston
avenue, from Fifth street to Broadway;
John street, from York street to Find.
lay, and York street between points
named.
The ordinance to reduce the number
and salary Of the police force was taken
up.
Mr.. Charles Jacob, jr., moved to recon-
slider the vote by which the ordinance
was engrossed, in order to allow him to
make an amendment to reduce the sal
airy OF the superintendent to $1,000 per
annum.
President Fitzgerald called Mr.. Her.
zog to the Chair and began blasting
speech against the Superintendent Of
Police. Mr.. Fitzgerald said that if he
thought the office was to be numbered by
the present inefficient, incompetent in
cumbent for six weeks longer, he would
not only be in favor of reducing the sal
airy, but of abolishing the office. "Talk
about him honestly trying to shut UP
gambling houses, or houses OF
i'll fame, or suppressing crime in
this city. 1t is worse than nonsense
when you take his actions into conslu-
Grafton. am not in favor OF an indis-
criminate attack on the gamblers and
houses of ill fame in the city. But he
has not taken such a step. When he
comes up and says his efforts fail be-
cause of the incompetency of the Prose-
cutting Attorney OF the Police Court. l
say he tells that which is not true."
The motion to reconsider was lost, and
on putting the main question the ordin-
ance for retrenchmenL was passed.

Health Board Inquisition. /.

The special committee OF the Board OF
Health, composed of Messrs. Shultz,
Fratz and DR.. Minor, appointed to ex-
aminine into and report upon certain
charges of collusion of officers of the
Board with certain vault-cleaners, met
yesterday evening. There were no spe-
cific charges brought. 1t seemed to be a
general Investigation of all the officers
Of the Board, from the Health Officer to
Sanitary Policemen, but indications
pointed to VIM. A. Smith, Superintend-
ent of Sanitary Police, as being the man
the resolution ordering the investigation
was intended to hit.
1t had been freely charged by the
vaultcleaners who were not so fortunate
as to own one OF the t'odorless" ma.
chimes that Mr.. Smith was receiving q
per centage from Forbis, the vault-clean-
er, for certain privileges granted the lat
ter in examining the notification book of
the Health Office, and for exclusive in
formation in regard to the parties noti-
fed by the Sanitary Policemen to have
their vaults cleaned. About O. dozen
witnesses were examined by the COM
mittee, mostly vault-cleaners, but no
testimony elected to fix any guilt upon
Mr.. Smith, or any other officer OF the
Board, except, perhaps, Policeman Don.
nelly. One witness, a vault-cleaner
named Pitzer, testified that he saw Dom
nelly, at the close of a days work in
August last, 60 into Forbis' office, pull
out the book containing the days notifi-
cations, and allow Forbis' clerk to copy
them. This Donnelly stoutly denied.
Mr.. Smith was called, and stated that
during his official connection with the
Health Board he had never received a
cent or present Of any kind for services
rendered or in anticipation.
