The entire press Of Kentucky is aroused
against the verdict of mot guilty" rendered
in the trial of the murderers of Carrie Ander-
son in Carroll county. 1t is difficult to say
which is the more disgracefui, the murder or
the verdict. All will remember this mon
strous crime, the worst that ever stained the
annals of Kentucky. The sheriff of Carroll
county and some OF mis- friends and followers
were on unfriendly terms with An
derson. This bad feeling arose from
business matters, Anderson having some
business that the sheriff thought he
ought to have. The sheriff, Myriek by
name, in order to better his business, resolved
to kill the whole Anderson family. Accom-
panied by a half dozen friends, all carrying
shot guns, he proceeded to Anderson's house
and laid in wait to cowardly assassinate him.
Becoming tired Of waiting, one of the
murderers went to the door and

PUBLIC PRINTING,

We are, as we have already stated. entirely
disinterested as regards the choice to be
made by the Printing Board concerning the
public printing. The remarks made by us on
the subject when the bill was passed have
lost none Of their strength by the lapse of
time, and we can but refer to them. The law,
as it stands, gives the Printing Board dis
cretionary powers which it must make use of
with judgment without permitting itself to
be circumscribed or limited by the mere gues-
ton of cost There are grave political con-
siderations and questions materially concern
ing the public welfare, which in the circum-
stances even now surrounding our State must
have as much weight as the question of
economy. 1t is easy, however, to conciliate
BOTH New Orleans Bee.
1t is gratifying to note that the New Or
leans Bee takes the same view of the printing
law, and the proper policy to be pursued in
the election of a printer, that has been adj
vanced by the DEMOCRAT. We attach no i'm
portance whatever to the views or the pro-
tests of the Times and the Picayane. Their
regulations are not such as to inspire the
public with any faith in their professions of q
desire to promote economy in the public
service, or honesty anywhere. With the Bee,
however, 1t is very different. That Journal
by it's unfaltering devotion to the interest of
the people. and its answering integrity, has
established a reputation for ability and hon
esty such as few journals attain, and which
gives weight to its utterances.

THE JURY SYSTEM.

A correspondent writing to the DEMOCRAT
yesterday morning on the subject of 'sjuries
and jury commissioners, and referring to the
recent exposition of the manner of drawing
iuries made in this paper, very pertinently
says:
1t is of the utmost Importance to know:
1. Not only the names but the antecedents
and present status Of the men who hold the
position of commissioner.
2. Whether said commissioners make every
effort to furnish juries Of respectable men, or
whether the disreputable do not preponder-
ate in the wheel.
8. Whether there exists among the legal
profession that absolute faith in the honest
working of the jury business which is essen
tial to we'll ordered society.
We know personally nothing of the ante
cedents of the present Jury commissioners.
But since they are appointed to discharge a
function of the very highest Importance to
the well being of society, and were selected
by the District Judges, we trust it is safe to
assume that they are men of high character
and irreproachable antecedents.
That the system, whether through the fault
and negligence Of the jury commissioners, or
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-11-24

tapped on 1t. 1t was opened by Carrie
Anderson, q girl about sixteen years
old. The moment she appeared the whole
cowardly gang opened fire on her, and she
fell wounded in dozen places and died a
very short time after. The gang, satisfied
with their nights work. went off without
killing old Anderson.
Such was the crime. It was proved beyond
doubt, it was even admitted that Myrick Il
Co., murdered the girl, but the murderer was
the sheriff of the county, and his deputy act
ing for him called q jury of his friends to
acquit him. Such was the verdict.
No wonder is it that the press of Kentucky
burst out in indignant tones against this out
rage to justice. Kentucky has another UNI
avenged and bloody deed charged to her ae-
count" says one. There will be q fearful
reckoning some day, and the juries of the
country, to whom is committed the duty Of
indicating and upholding the law, will be
responsible for the consequences.

OF the law, works enthusiastically, nay.
bad and often to the utter defeat OF the ends
Of justice, is 80 notorious that we do not deem
it necessary, as our correspondent has sug-
gested, to interview members Of the bar on
the subject 1t is notorious that objectiona-
BILE and disreputable persons do outnumber
the respectable and responsible ones on the
jury panels We find frequently, excellent
citizens on the juries; occasionally we note a
jury composed almost entirely of good men.
But such cases are exceptional, and do
not occur near so often as they should
for the public interest. The law author
ICES the commissioners to summon wit
nesses to testify as to the qualifica-
tions of the jurors drawn. With such pow
ers, commissioners possessing the proper
knowledge of the community, ought to give
us juries composed wholly of men Of integ-
rity and intelligence. These constitute the
very highest qualifications Of jurors In this
country; and when murderer or other GRIM
inal is acquitted in our courts. the average
character of our juries ought to be such that
the acquittal would Immediately raise the
pr assumption In the public mind that the ac-
cused was innocent, instead of, as is now the
case, prompting the suggestion that, through
the corruption or stupidity of the jury, the
ends Of justice have been defeated.
1t is a reproach to this city, and more than
that, it is drawback to It's prosperity, that no
confidence is felt in the administration of the
criminal law. The ablest jurists may occupy
the Bench, and however great the ability of
the Attorney General and District Attorney,
this will continue to be the case until sys-
tenn is adopted, or the present system Is so
worked that reliable and intelligent men will
compose our juries.
A new panel is to be drawn next Friday to
serve during next December, and we call upon
the commissioners to exercise all the author
ity the law gives them to give us the best
men in the city; men known for their integri-
ty and intelligence. Every suspicious char
acter should be eliminated without hesitation
from the list. The power of the commission
ers is ample for this purpose, and we call
upon them in behalf of the public good to do
their whole duty.
Public opinion is now alive to this subject,
and we shall do our best to keep it alive until
a thorough reform is effected in the character
of our juries.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-11-24

In recent report to Gen. Sherman Gen.
Ord expresses the opinion that colored troops
on the Mexican border are more in the way
than useful. Without rejecting on their eff
ciency they are, he says, personally often
sive to the Mexicans and, in consequence,
help to keep up feeling of animosity between
the two countries. The Mexican soldiers
hate the American soldiers that u.s. the col
ored soldiers) not SO much because they be-
long to different nations as because they be-
long to different and antagonistc races; and
at the same time despise this country for the
| class of troops 1t sends out to guard it's most
| important frontier The Mexican people are
inclined to think from what they see that our
| army is composed mainly of negroes. Be-
lieving that these will be their principal op-
ponents in case of a war, and doubling their
| fighting qualities, they naturally become
boastful and vain and proclaim their willing
| ness and anxiety to meet our colored troops
at once
So convinced is Gen. Ord that these negro
troops are productive of evil on the from
| tier that he desires their removal to some
| other department, their place to be supplied
by white troops, for whom the Mexicans will
| feel, at the same time respect and fear.
Gen. Ord scrupulously avoids using any
harsh terms with reference to these colored
| troops. The Chicago Times, however, and
other Western papers, are not so indulgent,
| and speak in the strongest and most denun-
| ciatory terms of the worthlessness and Of
| lenses Of these men, which offenses are the
| cause Of the i'll feeling and animosity Of the
| border Mexicans to the United States
| troops. According to the Times they are
not only vicious and untrustworthy but dam
gerous. They are naturally mutinous; to a
large extent thieves, and so given to one parti-
cular crime that there is not an officer in these
negro regiments that dares have his family
with him. 1t is possible that Gen. Ord thinks
all this, although he does not say it. He has
certainly proved himself good frontier off
Ger, and his report and recommendation are
worthy of consideration.

or relieves the property holders? We think
not. We think that the strongest argument
that could be used In favor Of this tax, Is, that
It gives the property Of the State respite;
that 1t lightens its burdens. The rate OF tax
alton even now Is Az mills-higher than in
any other State In the Union. Relieve prop
erty of any one tax, and it will still bear it's
full proportion of taxation. It is not only
the immensely rich property holders who
pay these oppressive taxes; the poor man
who has the humblest home and the widow
whose sole possession Is the lowly roof that
covers her head and the heads of her chill.
dren pays them also.
Property is the basis. after ALL of all gov
eminent. Burden and Cypress that by tax
alton; impair its value by extraordinary
exactions; render insecure It's tenure by bad
government, and instantly every public and
private interest begins to wane; sense of
insecurity to pervade the whole community,
and capital, alarmed, takes its flight from de-
clining trade, crippled industries, and the
marts, the harbors and the fields which the
laws have forgotten how to protect or learned
how to ruin and destroy.
The great work before us now is to sustain
the credit of our government: to pay our
debt, and to so iudiciously and fairly impose
the taxation necessary for these purposes as
to relieve, as far as possible, the property
and useful industries of the community by
imposing tho heaviest burthens upon
luxurieS.
In our opinion, the proposed excise tax is
an important step in that direction.
