Our jury System.
New Orleans Democrat. I

matter in odr jurisprudence, which
should claim the attention Of our
next Legislature, is that which re-
'ates to-onr present jury system.
Trial by jury, no doubt, is a great
boon, N glorious privilege. and the
satisfaction, honor and glory of
being juryman inestimabls--per-
haps. But, unfortunately, it is
we'll known that a majority of even
our most law abiding and patriotic
citizens never court the position OF
jurymen, even when paid for their
services, aud seek 10 evade' this
judicial duty. What, then, can be
said in commeudation of the pres
tnt law, which compels old and
young, rich aud poor, noleas volens,
20 perform, wi.hont compensation,
his comparatively obnoxious duty?
A few years ago jurymen were
compensated for their services---
We are not prepared to say whether
sufficiently or not. A itch man
was not expected to neglect his
private affairs to perform q public
lu,y without ii consideration. nor

alone sustained his family, com-

Finally, Some Of our learned
lawmakers arrived ut the concln-
ion that n paid jury system wan

sioaal jurymen;" that our juriss
we're FRI quently made up Of un-
worthy individuals, who were too

We feel satisfied that there was

Ths poverty, iestituiion aud sut-
