The Washington Post has a whim
that the present jury system might

makes the subioined observations !:

ceived by the semi-occasional arri-
val of what we should now cali the
burlesque of newspaper, or Dy let,

narration as acquaintance casually
met. When New York was week
away from Washington, and there
was little travel, but little was
known of what was going on in the
country. Then it was competent to
ask iuryman if he had formed
and expressed an opinion in regard
toa case that he was required to
mass judgement upon as a juryman.
The negative answer might alm,'st
be assured, unless the questioned
man were a near neighbor of the
parties or causes TO be tried. know,
ING nothing about them, he could
not have formed and expressed an

Capital and Labor.

Al speech illustrating the pleasant
state Of feeling that exists between
a prominent firm in Indiana and
their employees feeling that ought
to exist between capital and labor
eyerywhere-was made by Mr.. Jno.
Wescott, of Richmond, at the Ma
tional Tariff convention, a short
time ago:
While every gentleman in the
convention that has spoken, has
said protection was for the benefit
of the laboring man, if so, why is
it that there are so few representa-
tives here from the laboring ranks !?
When [ received the call for this
convention, noticed that the work
men were Invited TO send their uel-
egates. / notified foreman In each
department of our works to notify
their men to meet me in the ma
chine department on the blowing of
the whistle, as | desired to read
them the ssriOt actn on their assem-
bling. / read them the call for this
convention, and that they were in
yited to send a delegate to represent
their interest, and what was their
interest was mine also, and II they
would nominate their delegate that
we would pay him his time and ex-
penses to attend this convention.
Now gentlemen, if you had been
present and seen the hearty response
that nv proposition met with, there
sa1t a manufacturer in this house
but would have done likewise. We
want to send men to Congress to
pass protective laws, and my work
men have their 100 votes to my one,
and they are the men to reach.
And very much regret that the
IabOring class are no better repre-
seuted by delegates from their own
ranks. And would it not be we'll
for this convention to devise some
means whereby the mechanic or
Iaboriug class will be represented in
some future cali? There are some ldl-
OTIS in this country that are busy to
array labor against capital, ana
there is no better plan, in my Judg-
ment. to counteract that influence
than to have little more mixing up
of the two classes. [ believe that
If the laboring class We're here to

How would sal Look? :?
Carson Appeal.

Not long ago a young man IN
Carson got married and started for
California with his young wife.
His father bade him goodbye and
gave him the parental blessing.
"My son." said the aged sire, shak-
ing with emotion, etc, remember
these words if you never see me
again: Never 60 into a place where
YOU would not take your wife,"
Last week the old man went out
to visit them. He proposed bear
hunt. and they were fortunate
enough in tracking grizzly to his
hair among some of the powders III
the chaparral. AS the two ap,
preached, the bear reused up and
sent forth growl of defiance which
shook the trees. "Go in there ano
kill i'm" said the old man, excit
edly. "Count me cut" said tht
son. 'sHave l crossed the seas ano
settled in America to raise cow
ard ?'' shouted the father, brandlsh
ing his gun. "I recollect your adj
vice when | left Carson" was the
reply. "Didn't you tell me never
to go where L couldn't take my
wife? Now, how would Sal look il
there with that bear?" The Ole
man clasped his dutiful son to hi
bosom. and as the bear issued forth
exclaimed: "Speaking of Sally, le
us hasten home; our prolonged ab
scence might cause her needles
alarm" In about fifteen minute
they had reached the ranch, the ol(
man little ahead, and the distance
was about four miles.

An Attempted Bank ROBBERY an
Indiana.

A bold attempt was made a few
NIGHTS ago, to rob the bank at the
town of Camden, fifteen miles south
of Iogansport, Indiana. Five men
entered the residence of the cashier,
and after gagging him and tying
his wife securely, they took him to
the bank, and, at the point OF re-
voIyer. ordered him to unlock the
vaults. AS the safes are provided
with chronometer time-locks, he
could not accommodate them.
While they were parleying III the
hank they were discovered and the
alarm sounded. The robbers, after
taking the cashiers gold watch and
his money, which only amounted
to about ST, escaped. Their identi-
tv is not established, but some peo-
ple believe they are well-known
crooks of the neighborhood. OH,
GERS are working up the case, ana
there is hope they will bring the
rascals to time. The Camden bank
is accounted very solid institution
for a village bank, and many thous-
and dollars were locked up in the
vaults.

UPON the subject Of low railroad
fares the Boston Traveller remarks:
If the railroad war is productive q
low fares andfast trains, the people
will not be at all disposed to COM
nlain. It's certainly an advantage
to the travelling public, which 1t has
not been slow to appreciate IN thc
most practical manner. Thousands
of people, who could not have trav-
eled at the usual rates, have travel
ed and travelled very comfortably
during the past summer. IT has
been notably a season OF travel.
Does not the wonderful increase of
passenger traffic which followed the
cutting of the rates last SUMMER
demonstrate TO railroad managers
that they can afford to make some
of these benefits permanent !? We
cannot all expect to go TO chicago
for IS, but If managers wouid reaa
the lesson of low fares, and lind i ~
their way TO permanently reduce
| them somewhat, we should all trav-

The Change from slave to Free
labor.
"Gath,sn New York Letter.


I saw Senator Voorhees,, of Indi-
ana, few minutes recently, at the
Fifth Avenue hotel. Speaking
about his recent so-called departure
on the tariff, he remarked: "No
man with eyes in his head, and such
a scene before hsm as the Cotton ex-
hibition at Atlanta, can tail to real
ize that the change from slave to
free labor has made change in po-
litical economy necessary through
out the south. They have section
rich in everything that makes man
ufactures in fuel, in the hotels, In
cotton, in phosphates, in timber
whatever we can conceive as vary
ing the industries of nation. eX-
pressed the view my mind directed
that they were to become a manu-
featuring section, and would ask for
tho safeguards the northern states
have had till they become establish
ed. That is what New England IS
now dreading, that the cotton man
ufacture will arise in the south, and
that is why certain school in New
England is looking toward free
trade, in order 10 prevent the de-
velopment of the cotton manufact-
ure in the land of cotton and wool.
Nv desire is to see the southern
people bring up their country, vary
ing their indurtrieS, promote intel
ligence and invention and make
our land homogeneous.

NTr. Sam RandaII's Policy.
Arkansas Gazette.

Mr., Sam Randalls suggestion
made in his New York speech5,
that the treasury coin reserve held
for the redemption of the greengacks
should be used to retire bonds, thus
leaving the greenbaeks bottomed on
notoing but what, the greenbackers
would call the "wealth of the gov
ernment,'' is as unsound as his
proposition to abolish the internal
revenue for the benefit of the pro-
tectionist is mischievous. Green
backs float at par because there Is
in the treasury sufficient coin TO re
deem them as rapidly as presented
Nobody wants to get rid OF themi
and therefore, the coin is not in de-
mand. But sound business princl'
pies oppose the withdrawal OF coin
beyond the proportion required
should greenbacks he presented IN
large sums at the door Of the treas
ury. This is not qeestion OF pol
itics, but ordinary business pru
dence.

THERE is some misunderstanding
about the objects of the meeting OF
the Tennessee Legislature in called
session, although the call seems to
be distinct enough. 1t is solely for
the redistricting of the State with
reference to its own legislative dis
tricts. The congressional apportion-
ment bill has not yet been passed
and cannot be passed, perhaps, un-
til after the holidays. 1t will GER
tainly not be passed in time for the
extra session, which is required to
be held in 1881 to redistrict the
the State Tor legislative representa-
ton. 1t is not probable that there
will be any alteration in Tennes-
see, although congress may adopt
any basis. 1t is generally believed
that the basis which leaves Tennes
see with its present number o.
members of congress will be adopt
ed. If that is done perhaps NJ
change will be made in the district
/ as they stand. No party advantage
can be gained and the individual
interests which win demand chang
es will hardly be sufficient to NOV
the calling of the legislature o
changes il it is called. The subject

ment bin is passed by congress, W
