THE new Jury law, giving i'm
mense power to "fve discreet citizens,
good men and true" the selection of
the Jurors for our next District Court,
met on Monday and the great impor
lance of the occasion was sighted by
two of the Commission being absent;
and quorum was only had by the
presence of the Clerk of the District
Court, who is made member by the
law. This is rather unfelicitous be.
ginning on the part of the Courts ap-
pointees and throws the vast powers
of the "fve' into a mere quorum of
three, and it is to he hoped they used
it with discretion and sound judgment.
When the list is published we will be
able to form some estimate how the
Commission went through their new
and vast powers.

"A VIVID idea of the expensiveness
of military operations was given in a
recent dispatch of an English cores
pondent with the Russian army at
Kars. He said that up to the time
when the siege of Kars was raised the
Russians had thrown into it 1900
bombs, the cost of which was l 500, 600
roubles, or about $I,200,000. 1t is
estimated by a British military writer
that the cost to Russia of the double
war in Europe and Asia Minor is con-
siderably over one million of dollars
per day. This sum does not come out
of the pocket of the Car, nor does the
Sultan pay the expenses of the other
side.

In MEMORIAM

To the memory of little JOHN CoMP-
TON FRENCH, whose little spirit entered
into rest on Sunday August 18th, 1877
"Suffer little children to come unto me
and forbid them not, for Of such is the
kingdom Of God.'
"His bright, blue eyes are closed,
In dreamiess sleep;
Oh! mourners grieve no more,
Why should we weep?
Fold his soft, waxen hands,
Across his breast,
,Earth's Arials ne'er may break
His solemn rest.
His little bark has reached
A happier land,
Grief's stormy waves ne'er touch
Its golden strand.
He'll sing the angels hymns,
And songs Of Joy,
He'll watch and wait for you,
Your baby boy.
The sorrows Of this life
He feels not now,
Its shadows may not fall
Upon his brow,
We will not wish him here,
With us to roam;
Oh! mourners weep no more,
Your baby boys gone home"

TIE PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN CONVEN.
TON assembled yesterday in Harrisburg. j..
2. Stcrrct was nominated by reclamation for
Judge and W. NJ. 3. Hart for State Treasurer.
A vote was taken for Auditor General, and
Mr.. Passmore, of SchuylkiII county, was elected
by vote OF 1G5, to 50 for Howard J. Rseder,
Of LycomiDg county. The platform adopted
declares that while recognizing the differences
of opinion existing as to the course pursued by
President Hayes towards the South, I'VE honor
the patriotic motives which have guided him
and hope that the result of the policy will be
peace and goodwill and the complete recogni-
ton Of the equal rights of all men, 10 every Sec
ton Of the country and pledges hearty and
cordial support to his Administration 10 its ef-
forts to carry into effect the principles of the
platform upon which he was elected. The other
resolutions censure the democratic party for its
abuse Of the Electoral Commission; calls upon
the State and National Legislatures to assist
the return of prosperity by the enactment OF
proper laws; opposes the granting of more than
one hundred and sixty acres of land to any one
person, or the reissuing of patents by Congress;
calls for the repeal of the law demonetizing
silver; opposes laBessless and anarchy, With its
attendant horrors and crimes, and returns
thanks to Governor Hartranft, the officers and
soldiers for the suppression of the disturbances
which recently occurred in the State. The plat
form advocates a protective tariff, and depre.
Gates any assertion by violence of the rights Of
either capital or labor, and that any attempt to
coerce either should DO promptly depressed by
such lawful authorities as the exigency de-
mands.
