jury JuIcE.-Ye Yesterday the case of
the State VS.. Ed. Bruce, appealed from
the Lee County District Court, was
adjudicated before the Supreme Court
of Iowa. Bruce had been tried for
the murder of one McNamara, at Ke-
okuk, and verdict rendered. The de-
fense carried the case to the Supreme
Court, alleging misbehavior on the
part of some of the jurors, in that
some Of them drank some liquor dur
ing the pr0gress Of the trial before
they retired to their room to consider
what their verdict should be. Here
tofore II has been deemed improper
for . juror to indulge in tanglefoot at
any stage ofthe proceedings. Hence
forth the thirsty trier will rise up
and call the Supreme Court blessed,
for they hold that he can indulge in
his regular eye openers while serv-
ing the county at the rate of two dol
lars per day the same as on other oc-
casions. In brief they hold the drink
ing of intoxicating liquors by men,
bers Of the jury between the adjourn
ment OF the court before the close OF
the trial, and before the jury retire to
deliberate on their verdict, will not
|invalidate the verdict in the absence
Of anything showing that the Jurors
were thereby incapacitated from
properly discharging their duty

THE Cincinnati Gazette argues
that after all, Patterson and Conover
are moro democrats than policy men.
The way it puts it there may be .
difference:
"That two adventurous, who played
the last card Of their political chances
have been found amenablc to bribes,
particularly where one Of them has
the penitentiary staring him in tho
face, ID not . very extraordinary oc-
currence In the world. But, that .
political party, claiming to represent
the nation, and almost solidly repre-
senting the schivalrous' south, should
deliberately conspire to gain the con-
troll Of the government by an act OF
bribery, and by taking to itself . fell
on and compolnding his felony, is .
performance which places the best
government the sun shines on q long
way ahead Of any government the sun
ever did shine on. 1t gives to us Z
national character to inspire pride
and patriotism, and it shows US that
| the true inwardness of the national
democracy 10 the same a we see it In
it, local manifestations.

In alluding to the Presidents views
ON the silver question, the Chicago
Post says:
"The President cannot expect and
will not receive western support in
| the stand which he he has taken up
ON the silver question. He has had
tima to study the temper Of the peo-
/ pie, and upon that point has cast his
lot with those who desire to continue
the fraud of 1873. 1t 10 likely that he
would veto . bill that did not meet
| HE views upon that subject. 1t il
possible that his veto may DELAY the
demonstration scheme for two years
Isince there does not appear to be 4
Itwo-thirds majority of the Senate in
favor Of the proposal. Butthe action
Of tho President will cause strict di-
vision upon the financial question
and the Congressional elections next
fall will be largely influenced by the
position Of the candidates upon thil
subject. Tho people Of the Mississip'
pi valley are united, and will return
members who will vote to restore tbs
currency where 1t was previous t.

It Is telegraphed across the ocean
that the London press cordially ap-
proves Of the message Of President
Hayes. This is the same press that
ovcrfowed with joy at the news of
every Confederate victory, and was
downcast when the Union arms were
triumphant. The same press that
denounced John Bright for his SYM
pAthy with the North, tho same press
that did It's best to enlist all England
on the side of the Southern slAyehold-
ers these same aristocratic snobs who
would have rejoieed in the destruc-
tion of the American Republic, now
give the patronizing ASST rance that
they approve Of Mr.. Hayes message
But when the American people wan
friendly advice they must not seek il
rom the rebel sympathizing press O.
London. As the Irishman says il
loves American institutions az thu
devil loves holy watcr.--Stdte Regis

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Judge Hum
phreys has delivered his opinion in
the habeas corpus case Of Senator
Patterson. lie denies the power of
South Carolina to vacate Senator
Patters0n's commission which must
continue until constitutionally revo-
ked in pursuance of organic authori-
ty. It could not be said that Senator
Patterson was fugitive from Justice,
as he was here in the discharge Of his
official duties like oil other members
of Congress-, and besides he had acted
in the capacity of Senator years be-
fore the present indictment was
brought against him in q South Caro-
lima court. The Judge concluded his
opinion as follows: II think am
bound to take judicial cognizance
that party organization is one thing
and faction to destroy it another.
The most cruel tyranny would be the
application of civil forms of law to
dominance and triumph of the pas
sions of q faction. I cannot reconcile
it to sense of duty to give aid in
placing manacles and handcuff around
and about an individual citizen for
the purpose of surrendering him
bound into the hands Of those who
may not be dispassionate enough to
vlndic te the true right Of individu-
ais or to those who might be led by
impassioned appeals to condition of
mind that could not resist zeal for
the correction ofwrong, and has led
to the conviction ofthe innocent. Let
the man be remanded to the body Of
which he is member. That body
is legally, constltntionally, morally
and intellectually capacitated to dis
pose of the question involved, or to
condemn or acquit."

WASHINGTON.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 5.-Senator Ed
munds said . good thing in executive
session on Saturday last when Fitz.
simmons' case was under discussion.
Ben Hill stated that there was nee
essity for Democrat rs Marshal Of
Georgia, because the illicit distillers
were Democrats, and would not al
low Republican Marshall to arrest
them. Edmunds, in replying, remark
ed that one of the truest things Bver
uttered by the late distinguished can
didate of the Democratic party for
the Presidency was to tho effect that
while it was not true that all Demo-
Gratis wsre horse-thieves, it was true
that all horse-thieves were Demo-
Gratis: and paraphrasing upon this,
Edmunds said that, while it was not
true that all Democrats were Illicit
distillers, he regretted to be informed
by the Senator from Georgia that all
illicit distillers in that State were
Democrats.
