In said box, alternately, until the
whole number required shall be placed
therein. But nothing herein contain
ed shall be construed to prevent any
Judge in district in which such is
now the practice from ordering the
names Of jurors to be drawn from the
boxes used 10y the State authorities
in selecting jurors in the highest
courts in the State. All general and
special laws in conflict herewith are
hereby repealed"
These three sections we have on our
United States Statutes or the sub
ject of jurors. We have given sec
tions $40 and S21, and section 800
provides and requires that jurors in
the federal courts shall be drawn
as nearly as practicable in accord
ance with the laws of the States,
providing for the drawing of jurors
in the State courts. Section 800
makes it a principal cause of ohal-
lenge in u suit on u bill of exchange
drawn yesterday and payable at
sight, it may be drawn between
two parties, drawn by a partner up
on u partner II may be drawn by
n subject Of Great Britain upon a
subject of Great Britain; yet under
those sections Of tlc law, if suit
should be instituted, any loyal man
who was engaged in aiding or com
forting, Or any man that gave hun
cry and suffering confederate soldier,
as we have already said, II crust Of
bread or a drink of water would be
disqualified TO sit on the jury, and
either party TO the action may cx-
cludc from the jury box n juror
who is called and against whom the
Objection lies.
Section $40 only authorizes one
of the parties to the suit TO insist
on challenging a juror, but section
S2l provides that Il person who is no
purity to the suit, n person who has
no interest in the suit whatever
may intervene and call upon the
Judge to drive from the jury box,
but also to exclude from the grand
Jury room in all cases whatsoever,
every man, be he loyal on disloyal,
who has given any aid or comfort
ii the late rebellion. This is the
we give to section s2l,
that person not II party to the
suit in II civil action, the cause of
which occurred but yesterday, may
ask court Is exclude from the
court house every man who gave n
crust OF bread or Il drink Of cold
water TO u thirsty or hungry con-
fedeutc soldier, sixteen, seventeen
or eighteen years ago But the re-
peal of sections 800 and S21 there
is only removed the disqualiiica-
lion Of aiding in the rebellion, but
it is still left by section 500 in the
power Of a political Judge who may
be one of the bittorest partsans,
md wc know some are, or Of cor
rupt marshall OF Il corrupt clerk to
place no names in the jury box but
the names of partisans, thereby
the drawing of an impartial
Jury absolutely impossible
All the present Congress wants
by its repeal of this odious Statute,
and nothing else, is TO provide q
mode by which n fair, honest and
non partisan jury can be obtained.
What we understand the Demo
cratic members of the present Con
gress want to do is to establish Il
system of impartial jurors in all
national courts.

has heavy sashes with glass, and besides

Keeper Jardine had occasion to 60 to

Tho Rev. I. s. Kalloch Shot by Charles
DeYoung, Editor of the San Francisco
-Chroniole.--Deyoung Arrested.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 25.-The
notorious Rev. l. S. Kalloch, formerly
of fremont Temple, Boston, then Of
Kansas, and more recently of this city,
at present the "sand-lots" candidate for
mayor, was MORALLY wounded, as sup
posed, on Saturday morning by Charles
DeYoung, one Of the editors and pro-
prietors OF the Chronicle. On Friday
night, Kalloch in a speech defended
himself before an immense audience,
against charges of immortality, thirty
years old, preferred against him by the
Chronicle. He said these charges were
revived by Charles and Mike DeYoung,
two illegitimate sons Of prostitute.
In the morning Charles DeYoung drove
in covered coupe in front of the pri-
vate entrance of the Metropolitan
room, and sent message boy asking
him TO come out. Mr.. Kalloch immedi-
ately appeared on the sidewalk when
DeYouDg shot him in the breast. Kali
loch turned 10 retreat when DeYoung
shot him in the back. The crowd
Immediately raised the carriage in
which was DeYoune, turned 1t over,
tore him out, and he was dresdfully
kicked and bruised. He would, no
doubt, have been killed on the spot had
not an unusual number of policemen
come suddenly TO his rescue aud hurried
him TO Jail. Over ten thousand excited
workingmen during the day gathered
at the sand lots, shouting, cursing and
calling for the blood of Kalloch's assas-
sin. They state that should kalloch's
prove fatal summary vengeance
will be taken on the murderer, The
city was quiet yesterday, but the
did not relax precaution
against disturbance. At the sand
lots, last evening, Kearney addressed |
an immense crowd and claimed that the
party is the party of law
and order IN the city. The Chinese
must go, and DeYoung must hang W hen |
they obtain control of the government. |
He argued that the shooting of Kalloch
was not due to his work on Friday.
Later-Mr. Kalloch is rapidly i'm
proving. The bullet Is supposed TO
have only grazed the lung and there are
hopes Of his ultimate recovery.

The picnic and excursion TO Queen
City Park yesterday was perhaps the
largest affair of the kind thus far. Ev-
er, lining, including the weather, proved
propltious, and by twelve O'Clock a
multitude estimated at from ten TO fif-
teen thousand, had gathered on the
grounds. They whiled away the time
in the many pleasant ways the place at
fords until the time OF Henry Ward
Beecher's address, when, of course, the
vast crowd c0ngregated about the
speakers stand. Mr.. Beecher's speech
was somewhat discursive agricultural
and political talk, Astounding in good
things which received applause, and he
was attentively listened to, but there
was no enthusiasm manifested, and il
is plain that much of his old magnetic
power has departed. After the address
the crowd made It's way TO the railroad
platform and waited, many Of them a
long time, until they could take their
trains for home. We heard of no acct
dents of moment, there was no disorder
manifested, and the utmost harmony
and good feeling seemed to reign;
there appeared TO be no draw backs to
the general pleasure save the dust
raised by the large crowd and the dis
comforts endured by those who were
compelled to ride on the platform cars.

wThe only excuse that seems to DO
offered by the Southern Democratic
papers for the slaughter of Dixon and
the events that led to it, 10 founded
upon the bloodthirsty Southern idea
that opposition to the regular Democ-
racy is . capital crime which makes o
man an outlaw. The pretence that
Dixon was melting "war of races" is
too silly to be repeated by sensible
mon. There has never been such a
thing as war Of races in any section
OF the South, though the provocation
thereto has often been severe. There
have been any number Of pretended
discoveries Of plots to inaugurate sach
. war, hut they have invariably been an
afterthought 10 excuse in thu minds of
the people of the North some Of the
many bloody massacres Of unoffending
negroes and white Republicans which
have stained tbs history of the South
for several years. 1t may be true that
Dixon was "stirriDg up STRIFE" but he
had perfect right 10 do so, 60 long as
his strife was merely political one
and unattended with actual violence.
He CT any other man had a right to in
troduce inter discord into the most har-
monious political party either In the
North or South If he was able 10 do so,
and any violence done him to restrain
his efforts to "sow the seeds of discordv
was crime. There is nothing sacred
in a political party. The law recog-
nizes no necessity for harmony in it, and
cannot undertake TO preserve Its har-
mony. However bad the practical re-
suits to a community Inay be, the man
who sets Its voters to casting ballots
against each other for any purpose
whatever Is not q criminal in the sight
of the law. However tho sensitive
feelings Of this rufianly mob of Ya7oo
chivalry may have been outraged by
Dixon's attempt 70 bolt the party NOM
nation, they had no right and no ex-
cuse for any attempt to forcibly restrain
him. They might have voted him down,
but no more. But the rufianly In
stincts of Southern bsrbarirm recognize
no control Of law. 1t Ia community
governed by that worst Of despotisms,
the rule Of an ignorant, lswless and
bloodthirsty mob, directed by con-
scienosless and hypocritical politicians
of the stamp of Lamar, Singleton, Ham,
burg Butler and Wade Hampton.
There is nothing 10 be said In favor Of
Dixon as q man or . politician. He
deserved death - murderer and bull
dozer, but ~ punishment should have
been through the law. But be was
murdered, not for these crimes, bnt for
doing what he had . legal and moral
right to do. There Is . consolation in
the view that his independent move
ment was the beginning of the end of
the bloody apd sensslsss mob rule In
Ias South.
