QUALIFICATION OF JURORS.

Tho case lately decided BY the U. 8. SUI
prcme Court involving the right Of Juror
who was disqualified, BY reason of having
participated in the rebellion. to serve on a.
jury, unless his disability was established BY
proof, puts new face on the practice Of tho
Courts as to excluding jurors
In the case in question juror was called
who had been engaged in the rebellion
Under section 800 of the revised statutes,
this fact was sufficient to disqualify him from
serving He was questioned as to. whether
be had been engaged in the rebellion and
refused to answer. The Court ruled that he
was not obliged to answer the question and
he took his seat upon the jury and the case
was tried and verdict rendered with him as
one of the jurymen.
An exception was; made on appeal to the
ruling of the court below in not requiring
the Juror to answer whether he had partic-
ipated in the rebellion, and the Supreme
Court sustained the ruling, and holds that
Juror is no more Obliged than witness to
disclose on oath his guilt of any crime, or
any act which would render him infamous in
order to test his quail! fcation as juror
The question asked him, if answered in the
affirmative, would have convicted him of the
crime of treason. But if he were guilty and
thereby disqualified, the court held that the
challenger had right to prove it by COM
petent testimony. AS this was not offered or
proven, the court was not bound to exclude
| him.
Justice Field went even further than this
and said, 81 do not think that the act of
Congress, which, by requiring test oath as
to past conduct, excludes great majority of
citizens of half the country from the jury
box, is valid. In my opinion, the act is not
only oppressive and odous and repugnant to
the spirit of our institutions, but is clearly
| unconstitutional and void"

THE ARMY BILL VETO.

1.-The President returned the army appro-
priation bill to the House of Representatives
on Tuesday, with his reasons for withhold
ing his approval. His objections are con-
fiued to the sixth section of the bill, which
Is amcndatory of the act of February 25,
1866 Csections 2O52 and 552s of the Re-
vised Statutes> by striking from these Sec
tions the clause which permits the use OF
the Federal troops at times and places of
election, for the purpose of keeping peace at
the polls.
"A vote was taken in the House, on
Thursday on the proposition to pass the army
appropriation bill over the Presidents veto,
which resulted-yeas 40, nays ITO, not the
necessary two thirds in the affirmative. The
vote was a strict party one. the Democrats
voting in the affirmative. Three greenback-
ers voted in the affirmative and eight in the
negative.
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1879-05-06
VETO VS.. VOTES.

Mr.. Hayes in vesoiug the appropriation
bills evidently did it in the interest of Grant
who is decreed to be his successor, SO far
as the leaders of his party can decree thing
to be. Hence, the veto is intended as pre-
paratory measure to the forthcoming fraud,
to be used in the next Presidential contest
by the SO called Republicans sgainst Demo-
cratic votes.
Doubtless the next step in their programme
will be to excite the Indians to an outbreak
or to manufacture Southern outrage; OF,
perhaps, secretly stimulate communistic
revolution in order to force Democrats 10
Csagress to vote the appropriations without
the persistent sections repeating the infa-
nous anti>Republican intimidation laws,
which have SO long disgraced the United
States election laws.
In the name of freedom to the ballot box,
these American monarchists seek to use the
army 10 overawe the voters who deposits a
Democratic ballot. The objects of Mr..
Hayes are quite apparent, notwithstanding
his sincerity of language in his message. We
shall see if any Democrat in Congress is
purchasable by surrender, no matter what
may be the pretext for an army. 1t will be
q great saving ss well rs great blessing if
there never should be another appropriation
for its existence. The militia of the sover.
eign States is all that will ever be needed for
the safety of the Republic.
