the lecturer, and pointed reflections upon the
Society which countenanced it, he concludes
with the remark, II write this in behalf Of our
Youth"
To AIr. 4. Fl. s., and to others who per-
hans Lave asked the same question, What effect
has such infidel talk upon young people who
hear it! ] wish to say that am young man,
and for several years have been faithful at
tendant at the Philosophical Society. have
heard many scientific and philosophical lectures
and discussions, which have given me instruction
that could have obtained nowhere else. nave
heard alsol many discussions VI tueo'oelcat
nature, wherein each side has been larry pre-
scntcu and received. Instead Of being In the
slightest degree impaired, my religious con-
yic1ious arc even tirmcr than they were WneH
entered.
As general rule, the discussions are quiet
and really philosophical, the truth being ali tt
is sought Air. Il. j. Growers lecture s1auus
forth as a remarkable exception. 1t was neither
nhi,osonhic nor even gentlemaply, and 1T met
with the reception it deserved. Members OF sle
Society had thought to DC infidcls cr't'clsed II
with unexpected yigor. Some OF the critics re-
fused it even the notice Of 8 reply, anu expires,
sions Of intense disapproVal were heard Oh I'LL
sides.
Mr. A. H. S. is right. No harm can ever
come from words so filled with hatred ano
prejudice And for the young members ol tuc
Society, although they are not numerous ll van
say that talk OF the style Mr.. Growers very
moderate abilities allow him 10 uttGr pfouuses
the best effect possible. It makes them 1cei u
strong disgust for men who will treat With pas
phcmous Icyity subjects which so many thou-
sands Of estimabie people hold most sacred.
Thanking Mr.. 4. Il. .. for the attention ne
has called to a very Important question, anu
trusting that his mistaken idea OF tue fha4o-
suphital Society will be removed, am your
most obedient scryaut, SOPHOMORE.

tn the Editor al The Tribune
CHICAGO, Feb. S.-lnasmuch US general in

istcred in some OF the lower courts in this city,
I beg leave to encroach on your valuable space
to say few WORDS relative to the matter.
II the writer Of 'sJuucial Juggers" in last

the name OF Peter Footc instead OF Thomas

judicial official.
That loog ago there came within his jurfsdic-
tion civil s3it-to decide which one Of the
parties wished to call jury. The opposing
counsel, though willing to aIlow any six or
twelve honest men to decide the case according
to the law aud evidence, feared corruption on
the part OF a certain Constable, and objected to
his being given the yenirc and was promised by
the Court That the officer in question should not
call the jurors.
When the case was called, to the surprise Of
the aforesaid lawyer, the identical Constable
objected to nas given the venirc, and it is al
most needless to add that the professionals
summoned decided the case as it had been hint

she will be permitted to land here

should he receive its nomination, his
