Gov, Nichols has appointed
Thursday next rs a day of thanks
giving and prayer

There has been for Il number ol
weeks past not Il little concern on,
the part of the public over the
prospective trial of the members OF
the Returning Boarl,and inquiries
have. been frequently made as tn
the method ny which the members
of the panel were orawu The
charge against the Returning b Jard
and the public interest felt IN the
result of the trial has made the
case one OF the highest imp ,rtance,
and the people naturally have OBJ
served closely its progress towards
final solution IL order hal the
public might become iu.l, posted
as to the method of .lrawiny jurles
before the Superior Criminal Conrt.
which tribunal will try this case, a
reporter of the New Orleans Dem
ocrat has made it his business to
learn the details of drawing jurles
and the result of his researches he
gives.
Under the law the juries 1T the
Superior Criminal Court are now
drawn by two com nissioners chos-
en- by the judges of the civil and
criminal courts. The commission
ers now are r. L. Bruce and Winnie
Rogers, who were elected by the
Judges.
The mode Of drawing the jurors
Is for the commissioners, with the
criminal sheriff present, to take
from a wheel, after the names have
been thoroughly shaken mp, the
number required to serve during
the month.
The law empowers the jn:y COM
mlssionerS to summon witnesses
that they may know the qualifca-
tons of those who may have been
drawn from the wheel If panel
of 500 is ordered. IA "a rule over one
half have some good excuse to offer,
and of the rem aiming 20 many
have reasons that relieve them
from duty
In case the regular panel is e1.
haustsd, under an act of 1877 tai
esmen are drawn by the sheriff
without the intervention of the jury
commissioners. The criminal sheriff
in this case draws the names from
the wheel, instead MS was the Gus
tom of taking the talesmen from
tine bystanders around the court.

reer Is not yet ended:
Enthusiastic admirers of Gen.
Grant have said that il il proof of
his greatness that he rises to every
emergency. Without going 50 far as
this, it Is safe to say that he rises
toward emergency. Whether he
quite reached the demands chat were
made upon him when he was Presi
dent of the United states, will long
remain an open question. As a com
mander of the United Safes armies.
there can be no question he earned
and deserved military renown sec
ond to that of few living men. How
ever great the responsibility imp ,sed
upon him, he was always faithful to
1t; he never disappointed Il just ex-
pectation formed concerning his mil
ltary skill and success. Even during
his civil career he failed only in small
things. His veto of the imitation bill
is one OF the great acts of his lite.
which will stand out conspicuonsly
when Babcock, Boss Shepherd, Tom
Murphy, and the rest IF that unhap-
company are buried in oblivion. 1t
remains to be seen whether his civil
HE Is ended, whether he will return

viously excited its ad nirrrion by his
works in the field and the cabinet.
