The Jury System of Louisiana.

One of the sublime farces in the
grand humbng drama Of reconstruc-
ton in Louisiana, is the jury system
as it now stands. ,. ..
Our model ~ law makers, filed
with the grand visionary idea that all
men were created free and equal in
all respects, insist, not only shall all
men vote, but that all men shall serve
as jurors and pretty mess they have
made oft.
Cases involving vast amounts OF
money 1.-THE decisions of which if
rendered correctly would require
much legal knowledge, arc left to the
mercy Of a lot of ignorant negroes,
who, in post instances, can neither
read nor write ; and the same may be
said of criminal cases, when they
know at least something of evidence,
but fail to bring to justice the large
mass of color who arc petty pilferers.
We append the following as a mod
81 verdict ~ ina very complicated
case in Red River parish, and it can
be relied upon as tratlful: ,-
1--WE as Juror hav degreed that Gar
ison & Dunn has no rito to be pade
for Danishcd Becos they have re-
stated that they had p8I'fcnco under
Good order"
One of the first acts of our legisla~
ture should be, if possible, to change
this law and give us some system
that would he mole perfect. Many
bad laws disgrace our statute books,
aud this is one of them.
