ANOTHER JURY TEST OATH DEc1

ANOTHER JURY TEST OATH DEc1-
United States Circuit Court |
for the Northern District Of Florida
made another decision in regard TO the |
test oath for U. S. Jurors, and affirming
the decision of lower court that the act |
as applied is unconstitutional and void.
Mr.. Justice Miller delivered the opinion,
and Mr.. Justice Field read a concurring
opinion, In which he assented TO the view
of the lower court, that section 821 Of
the Revised Statutes is unconstitutional
and void. "He holds that Congress may
undoubtedly prescribe the qualifications
OF jurors In the federal courts, but If any
Of the cause for disqualification is the
commission Of an act which the law has
pronounced to be public offence, it is
not competent for the Court to 60 into
an investigation to determine the guilt or
innocence of the juror. That is to be
ascerained only in one way-by a sepa-
rate trial of the party upon an indict-
ment for the offence, and the only COM
petent evidence in such cases is the re-
cord Of his conviction or acauittal. The
Court may take judicial notice that a
whole people are public enemies from
the existence Of war, but it cannot take
judicial notice that q whole people, OF
any individual of it, has violated the
municipal laws of the country. If sucl
violation is relied upon to exclude wit
ness from testifying or a jury from th'
jury box, it must be shown not by evi
denee of what others have seen or heard
but by the record of the party's convic
ton"
Thus another of the monstrous acts o
vengeance by which the Republican par
ty has been depriving Southern people @
their constitutional rights has been swep
away. But how is the wrong that ha
been inflicted to be repaidp This show
upthe terrible evil of suffering such acts
stain the statute books TO remain oper
tive and submitting to them as laws Ill
oil repealed. A political party that is d
irving benefit from monstrous usurp
ton of power may take its time to repe
laws, in the meantime citizens are sufft
ing from their effects. There should
: some stay to the operations of a law th
there is reasonable probability will
pronounced unconstitutional and void.

q THE DuTcHER Discussion We are
10th to open our columns TO the discus
sion of the character. OF the personal
conduct Of any gentleman, and only do
30 to satisfy the opinion Of a mass Of
citizens who seem to have taken an in
terest in the gentleman whose name
appears in this paragraph. We have
heretofore expressed our firm belief that
the duty Of the regularly ordained Min
istry was to labor to gather into their
own folds the sheep that are astray from
the Masters flock, rather than to add to
the common herd. "What profiteth
man If he gain the whole world and lose
his own soul?' should be present as an
urgent appeal to the gentlemen Of the
pulpit to let no opportunity slip to gather
from the highways and byways such as
have fallen by the way. But organiza-
tions for Temperance only are hardly the
places for the active work Of the Ministry
unless they denounce with becoming Ian
guage such other sins as are and have
been known to prevail among the mem
bes of such organizations. To expect
such men as Lee and butcher who had
been gathered from such depths TO con-
tinue free from sin, and yetto elevate and
honor such as were elevated and honored
while reeking in sin by these socie ties, il
Just what no gentleman whose observ rvatior
and experience in life had been such a
g. we generally find those in the Ministr.
to possess, could expect. .t..
81 1t is certainly to be regretted that botl
Lee and butcher have subjected them
Z selves to the charges that have bee
made against them with so much al
n sthority and appearance of truth. Ha
these men been taken into church an
y, been kept away from the wickednes
u that not unfrequently delights to vent
late itself In mere temperance organizi
tiOns they might still have been faithfl
and preserved the good name they had
~ suddenly acquired among our peopl

End OF the Struggle Over the Army
Appropriation "A Bill the Presi-
denY Will Bign.-The Military In
reference BilI Passed by the
HOnse,
WASHINGTON, May 6, 1S79.-The
democratic caucus bill will probably
reach the President by tomorrow or
Thursday night: The republicans back
ed out of their opposition after short
filibustering effort to-day and let it go
through the House. The leaders Of the
party saw that the rank and file were
not unanimous in opposition to the
measure, especially as Mr.. Frye, of
Maine, asserted, upon what authority is
not stated, hat the President would
| sign it in its present harmless shape.
| The Judiciary Committee of the Senate
also reported the bill back to-day, but
with couple of slight amendments, and
it will be debated by Mr.. Edmunds to-
morrow. The democrats will not dis
cuss it except as far as they may be pro-
| yoked by the other side, and will pass it
as soon as the republicans allow a vote.
1t is now the impression that the great
struggle between the parties in Congress
is deferred until issue is joined on the
questions Of repeating the supervisors
and deputy maIshals clauses of the Leg
islative bill.
THE LEGISLATIVE BILL AS AMENDED
BY THE SENATE COMMITTEE
The principal changes made by the
Committee on Appropriations in the Leg

IF AN American missionary amongst
the most savage beings upon the earth
had been murdered so brutally as was
Rev. w. M. Todd, Methodist minister
In Arkansas, an account OF which we
published yesterday, the whole country
would be shocked, but as he was muir
dered by chivalrous Southerners for
preaching the gospel to the poor blacks
of Arkansas, it Is all right. Our word
for it there won't be a word said against
the murder by the GAZETTE, and In all
probability, the murderer who shot the
preacher will turn up as Democratic
Congressman some day as reward Tor
hiss bravery and chivalry.-Repubttcdn.
1t is neither truthful nor fairto its read
ers for the Republican to make such
charges against the Democrats. That
paper knows that the GAZETTE has not
in any case excused crime. But why does
it impute this ofiense to the Democrats?
1t acknowledges in the same breath in
which it makes the charge that it does
not know what the politics of the man
is who shot the negro; nor does it wait
to see whether there is aparticle Of truth
in the story before it is pronounced a
murder and the Democrats charged with
it. Do show some regard for truth and
decency. The Republican would stig
matize every Democrat.
Since writing the above we have beer
handed a copy of the Methodist, of Ma.
3D., left at our Office by a minister of tn
M. E. Church and our attention calle,
to an article in it in reference to the cas-
referred to by the Republican. W
publish the article in another column
It is headed "WITH OUR READERs.
Our readers will see from it that til
Republiean's article is grossly inacurat
if not lie outright. The man was NJ
murdered at all.

see that it has been published in the

LAST WEEK It was all wrong for the
Democratic Congressman to hold eau
c,p and units upon . measure for the
repeal Of the federal election laws. And
the work of the caucus, ives denounced
by Oopkling and Edmunds without
stint. Now these gentlemen have been
in attendance on caucus themselves
But as that was a Republican caucus in
which they took the liberty to denounce
each others proposition about as freely
as they denounced the Democrats, we pre-
sumo caucus measures are now all right
But what plaques the Republicans is they
do not know where to place Mr.. Hayes.
II, he does not agree with them their
eworkis all dough; and that he did not
agree to veto the new repeal bill was
manifest from the fact that his friends in
the caucus were generally found oppos-
ing any arrangement by which they
would be required to vote against repeal
