pose-with evil intent and with just as |
much malice as was exhibited by the |
placing of an honest old man on tho City
Hall pavement to sweep 1t with ball to
his feet. This we saw two Quaker Radi-
cal gentlemen gaze at, and laugh at with
a sneer. But we have no doubt they will
find their "chckens coming home to
roost,' and by accident, too, as well
as the Republicans party in this
very case under controversy now. The
"mill of the gods grind slowly" and
those who seize the "livery ofIIeaven to
serve the devil in" are not sure to escape
entirely under that cloak, or any other.
1t is best to act honestly and squarely on
all matters.
Now, the Republican has no objections
to urge against the gentlemen drawn on
the jury. But In the years that the Dem
ocrats were excluded, men were put on
that even Republican attorneys feared to
trust their cases with. And, just look at
the complexion Of the United States
jurors of this county, selected, pointed
out, by the Marshal, without drawing, 2
to I, and 4 to IL. Oh, no, our neighbor
does mot care to go back all over the
jurists' of the past nor does it scare to
travel all over the nation to see how U.
S. jurors are chosen" Well, We don't
ask it to do so. We point it to the U. 5.
jury of this county now chosen, selected,
pointed out, summoned personally by the
Marshal without any drawing about it.
We have not tried to "cover up" any
thing about the jury our Levy Court has
given us. We are satisfied that the mem-
bers of that Court have given their con-
stituents of this county, a fair and honest
jury list without any design politically or
otherwise to injure any one. We only
wish we felt so confiden. that the juries
of the Republican party drawn in years
back, when it was almost worth mans
life, in this community, to be faithful,
honest, outspoken, Christian Democrat
who would not swear TO lie for vote
and would seorn to have himself classed
with the men who have subsequently
stolen millions from the treasury, and
have since been designated by thousands
of those who put them in power, as com.
panions of thieves and robbers, from the
highest to the lowest, from kilt & stock
ing, to Belknap and the head Of Grant:
whiskey ring and escaped peniten
tiary birds ; from the Credit Mobiliel
gang to the very thief, Wilmer, the
friend of Croasdale, who prowled oul
streets in military buttons, and finally
was sent to boarding house in Auburn
to spend term with convict's suit and
a shaven head.
The Republican says "that if half the
Democrats had been forced to fight at al
they would have fought on the rebe
1 side.n We cannot answer as to this. Blu
we do say lhal thc great mass ol lhose ol
both sides who fought, Were deluded int
fighting, in the first place, in war iroI
u which nothing but superadding ditlicu
y ties have arisen; all of which might hay
Z been ayerted had it not been for the wal
i of craftsmanship in Lincoln and Sewarl
o The war was unnecessary and shoul
a have been averted, and would have bee
a averted had the fanatics of that day eve
t dreamed Of the immensty of the under
: taking the very father Of evil seemed t
p lead them into. 1t has been teacher {
{ many sad lessons, and it may be the on
i The Republican now complains of is on
4 Of the lightest, and it is to be Hoped, if
is, it is the last OF its kind.
