Hon. A. H. Stephens has been dis
6guished among Southern politicians
for the last two years as an apologist
fer President Grant. He has taken
'fre4uent occasion to exalt his talents

sained that Congress, and not the Pre-.
sadent. was to blame for the Louisiana
asurpation. Since the last scene, by
which bayonets supplanted ballots in
deciding the qualifications of members
Of the Legislature. Mr.. Stephens has
kept an ominous silence. The Louisi-
ana question, he says, has not reached
tho House, and he will not undertake
tocross river before he comes to it..
Va conversation. however, he expresses
deep concern and apprehension for
6s condition OF the country. A cor
respondent of the Augusta Constitu-
&osalisl. supposed to be Judge Hook,
gives an account of recent interview
With Mr.. Stephens. He said that he
regarded the reelection of Grant by
&ho Radical party to the Presidency
As tue greatest possible calamity that
could befall the country. and that
it would be his utmost endeavor
aeM. as it had been for the two years
past. to prevent that state OF things
which would bring it about. He de-

Upon this, he delivered speech in

either side, taking the ground that the

chat the testimony was insufficient and
unsatisfactory. and justified no action

TIE Jury Law.

In the House OF Representatives, .
few days ago, Mr.. Howard, OF Marion,
presented the presentmento of the grand
jury of that County. in which they say
that the scheme of drawing juries has
been perverted in practice. It is 80
done ss to exclude intelligence and
competency. The remarkable fact Is
mentioned, that. with a majority of
white voters in the County. not one.
fifth Of them are represented on the
jury lists at the present term of the
court. The grand jury very properly
present the law and the practice uader
it as a grievance, tending to destroy
the confidence of the County in the ad
ministration of justice. The evil COM
planned of in Marion is common to
most of the Counties Of the State. In
many Of them there have been failures
to have any court at all, in conse-
quence either of the blunGeripg or de.
sign of the Jury Com Big
criminals have escaped trial in this
way. The law puts II in the power of
the Commissioners to constitute the
jury to suit themselves or purity. They
are to prepare "a list of such inhabitants
OF their respective Counties, not alb
