A Home Currency.

We alluded last week to W S. Hug.
Gins article, in the Nashville CONNER
cial Reporter, upon this subject. We
make the following extract, which will!
be found of interest, and full OF good
sense:
We, 0fMe South, are to dug the ve
riiest SeylS on earth. Every farmer, yea,
every citizen Of whatever calling. is
simply toiling, from day to day, to
make the rich capitalists of the North
richer. In what way? In every way.
Every thing we do is made to contrib,
ute to the wealth of the North, because
of the absence of a hsme currency.
We can raise W sugar, molasses,
rice, wheat, corn, beef, hogs potatoes,
hay, tobacco, cotton, in fact almost
everything ncedful for man or beast.
Do our farmers er our merchants who
handle the cotton fix its price2 No
sir the moncyed men OF the North fix
the price. If we cry ont it is too low,
we can not afford to take that price, it
is below tho cost of production, etc. q,
they reply, very we'll; you have no cur
rcncy, we have plenty and will lock it.
up (and make times hard) until You
are forced to take our prices. The
farmer calls OH his merchant to advance
some money OF his cotton, saying, |
cant afford to sell at present prices.
The merchant says | can get you the
money only by shipping the cotton
North and drawing on it at thirty or
sixty days. 1t is done. When the
bulk of the cotton Is in, the New York
merchant says to his Southern scrts,
send me my money or your cotton
will be sold. No money South to be
had, consequently the cotton has to be
sold ut ruinOns prices, with n list OF

ton. Then when the bulk of the crop
is in Northern ports, it advances rap
idly and they make large money on
the crops raised by their Southern
servants.
Take the sugar crops Of the South.
Sugar r~ctiners at the North buy our
sugar and molasses. ship it North,
make it into syrups and white sugars
and ship it back to Us at their own
price. Take the hides of the South.
We ship them North. but do we get
our own price for them No, sir, they
price them: we have to take just what

A bill is before the State Legislature
of Ohio to 80 modify the qualifications
of Jurors as to make it possible for a
nan to read the newspapers and after.
wards sit in o jury box in a criminal
trial. At present, the fact of having
read q newspaper account of a murder
is sufficient ground for a challenge
for q cause as a juror in the case in
most of the States. The Ohio law
provides that unless a man shall have
formed an opinion as to the guilt or
innocence of the accused, he may still
act as n juror, although he may have
read all about the case in the papers.
In effect the present law or custom de.
mands stolid ignorance as the first es'
sential qualification ola juror-not on
" ignorance of the facts in the partic-
ular case to be tried, but the general
ignorance which is the lot of all who
do not read the newspapers in an age
and country like this. Reform OF the
jury system might proitably 60 fur
Their. An ignorant man, who fails to
keep himself informed through the
press OF the occurrences in his com
munity, cannot form a legally sound
opinion after hearing the trial of o ease
in court. The conclusion of counsels
argument leaves the ignorant juror ut
terly bewildercd or blindly biased. On
the other hand. the intelligent juror,
who has read the best account he can
get of any important crime. and who
cannot, being a thinking man, help
an opinion upon the statement
Of facts read, is capable OF revising or
wholly rejecting such opinion as the
testimony and law of the case may re-
quire upon trial. Reason is his guide,
and the highest power of reason is its
readiness and ability to subordinate
the passions, and make distinct decis
ions upon different facts or combina-
ton Of facts. - Chattanooga CONNER
