BIEyyL1L LEGIsLA1IVE SESSIONS

The vote of Connecticut on Monday upon
the Constitutional Amendment providing for
biennial instead of annual legislative sessions
was, we should judge, not more than
from one-quarter to one-thrd of the full
vote of the State OF those voting, n very
large majority-so large indeed rs to
make the minority seem almost ridicu-
lous-opposed the measure and accomplished
it's defeat. This is, when all the cream
stances are considered. rather remarkable
result. For the proposed change, in the first
place. was III accord with a generally recog-
nlzed popular tendency; IA universal desire for
fewer elections and fewer politicians less
politics and less law making, more stabil-
ity and permanence and more peace. 1t
was a measure which had already been
adopted in large majority of the
States. was In process of adoption by more,
and had not been rejected by any. 1t had
been recommended to the Legislature by a
commission Of citizens of acknowledged ability
and wide experience selected from the ablest
men Of both parties, had been approved by a
unanimous vote of one Legislature and with but
one dissenting vote by another. had re-
ceiyed the support of all parties, and
until within the past two or three months
met with no opposition from the press or any
influential political leader and i'll spite of all
these favoring circumstances it has been re-

illustration-how long the list is of the Will
lingucss of the best Democrats to sacrifice any
principle at the command of n convention or
Il caucus. But there Is no reason To fear that
the slavishness of these men will elect Ewing.
The Democratic expectations of gains from
the Greenbackcrs are not likely to be fulfilled,
and the Republican majority is regarded as
certain not to fall below 10000.
This is an era of Revolutionary monuments.

objection to this last scheme Is that

Whenever any voter handles a particularly
filthy and foul-smelling paper dollar let him
reflect that he is indebted for that experience
to the parsimOny OF the Democratic Congress.
The celebration at Savannah of the hum
dredth anniversary of the death Of Sergeant
Jasper was "a great demonstration. Senator
Gordon used the occasion as, in part, text
for remarks upon the present feeling between
the great parties and the two great sections.
The capture of the ironclad HuascaT is a
heavy blow to the Peruvian Navy, which,
since the loss of the lrOnclad Independence,
had used this formidable ram TO harass
the Chilans. 1t was the Huascar, in
the energetic hands of Admiral Grau,
which sunk the Esmcralda raised the block
AIDE of IquiQuc, captured the transport Rmac,
boinbarded Antofagasta, and performed several

Judge Speir's decision upon those rights of

nection with this, he enuncated the ancient
legal rule that unless an officer is legally
justified in making an arrest, resistance To any
extent necessary will be justifiabe.
Our Ohio correspondence makes a careful
analysis of the spirit of the campaign on both
sides. From this it would appear that the
Democrats have regained their hopes of elect
ing Ewing, which they formally abandoned
some time ago. Their new determination to
make an effort to carry him Ia is due. 1t is

We shall probably keep tine jury system of trying
criminal causes "A good while longer but 1t VIII Oniy
be through commou-sense notifications of some of
its old characteristics That ancient superstition
about the necessity of rejecting jurors who have
read newspapers and not being idiots, have formed
an opinion as to what they had read, has just re-
ccived IT. final quietus from the General Term. III
the case of David Pender who was convicted of
highway robbery in snatching a pair Of earrings
nom Il lady in this city. Mr.. Pender had natural
objections to going to the State Prison. and his aw-
yer asked the General Term To save him from that
unpleasant fate upon the ground that two of the
iurors who tried him admitted that they had read
of the case and formed an opinion. They declared,
however that they were quite ready 10 change that
oniuion if the forthcoming evidence should warrant
them IN so doing. The Court held that this decla-
ration brought them within the provisions OF Chap
fer 475 of the laws of 1S72-a decision which the
General Term has now sensIbly affirmed. IL Is diff
cult to see how, IN this case, there could be
two opinions upon the point, or what ground the de
fence had for taking the question up at all. Every
body reads newspapers and every newspaper, if 1t
he properly conducted, gives the facts oi case
on far a. they can be obtained. If juror is To DO
SET aside because he is intelligent and keeps himself
well posted upOn current events of public interest,
then inability TO read even 10 hear ought TO he
considered ne gative qualification for jury service.
Tho presumption that man cannot change his
mind is also one that he is intellectually deficient.
The truth is that jurors do often change theirnds
two or three times in the course Of trial. and not
-oldom after they have retired To consider their
,.rJict. If man answers that his mind is so made
mn that nothing can alter it. he is a fool and should
be dismissed upon that ground.
