THE JURY SYSTEM.

Two papers in Wisconsin-and but
two-the Appleton Crescent and the
Portage Register have repeatedly called
public attention to the necessity for a
reform of the Jury system in all civil
and in the minor criminal cases.
The giaring defect in the Jury system
is the requirement of unanimous GER
dict. That is an anomalous requirement
under our system of government. In
the election of all officers-EXecutive
Legislative and JUDICIAL plurality on
ly is required. Even in our Supreme
Court, in the gravest cases involving
Liberty and Property, majority of the
Judges Determine every legal right. The
jury settles the questions Of fact; the
court the questions of law.
Very recently, indeed within a week,
our attention was called to civil case
of small pecuniary magnitude in our own
Circuit Court. There was no well found
ed dispute about law the real difference
was question of fact. A tedious and
expensive trial by jury was had, the hti-
giants incurred a heavy expense, and the
County was of course subjected to large
outlay to afford all the facilities for legal
redress of real or imaginary wrongs suf-
fered by her citizens. The jury was far
above the average of men found in the
jury box for intelligence and moral worth.
No one suspects or believes that undue
influence had reached one of them, or
could have been brought to bear upon
them. That Jury disagreed One man
could not see things as eleven saw them !;
and he wasn't obstinate, stupid or ignor-
ant. Thus, all the time and expense of
that trial was thrown away, and another
trial, involving very heavy expense,
must be had unless the parties consent
to waive their rights to trial by jury.
To our mind, it is time for the people
of Wisconsin to discard the superstition
of past and comparatively unenhghten-
ed age relative to the necessity for
unanimous Verdict.
The saving to litigants and to tax
payers by the adoption of such reform
as will make legal and binding YER
dict of the conclusion of a majority of
the jurors in any civil or minor criminal
case In all our courts, is too manifest to
need minute demonstration. Every cit
izen knows it to be so without detailed
proof of the fact.
Is there better time to iuangrnate
great Jury Reform than nowl Let u
Constitutional Amendment be proposed
when the Legislature meets and voted
upon next November and we can enter
the year following conscious of having
rid Wisconsin of an incubus that has
long clogged the administration OF just
ice, and barred the doors of Law and
Equity.-Appleton Crescent.

J. M. GRIEsE, of Ke saunee, had his
leg broken while driving team of oxen
down hill.
THE store of Ludowick Jones, tailor
at Madison, was burglarized to the e1-
tent of $500 the other night.
AT LocustdaIe, Pa, while miners were
on box of powder, a spark dropped,
igniting the powder, which exploded,
killing Alfred J. Steeley, John Durken,
and Mordecai G. Jones.
TIE State Journal says the Reform
vote for Charles D. Parker III Buffalo
County was cast '.for Vice-governor. "
Though this is an Office not known to
the law, it is not likely that the return s
will be rejected, as the intent of the vot-
ers is reasonably certain. Yet if the
vote were enough to change the result,
to would be q little risky, and might fur
nish work for the courts.

BY the death of Vice President Wilson
Senator Thomas w. Ferry, of Michigan,
President pro tenlpOre of the Senate,
becomes next in succession to the Presi-
dency in case of the death OF resignation
of the President.
A MADISON lawyer suggests as means
of putting the suffrage power of the
country into the hands of wisdom and ex-
perience, that two ballots be allowed
voters of over forty-two years of age,
and three to those of over sixty-three.
SENATOR FERRY, of Connecticut, died
Monday at his residence in Norwalk,
Conn. His time expires On the 4th of
March. 1879. AS the Democrats have
the ascendancy in that state this will en-
able them to fill the vacancy, and send a
colleague to act politically with Eaton,
who is an extreme Democrat.

A FEW nights since, female miser
was discovered in the neighborhood of
Friendship, few miles north of Fond
du Lac. She was 80 years of age, Ann
Leavy by name, and was for few years
before her death supported by the neigh
bors. A coroner's inquest was held on
the body, she having died during the
night, and verdict was brought of
death from natural causes. She was
apparently perfectly healthy up to the
time of death. A search was instituted
through the house, and money and valu-
