A Bourbon Democratic paper Of Bellaire
lays the blame Of all the bad luck which
attended the STATEN The prosecutions at the
present term Of the Common Pleas at the
door Of Mr.. A. H. Mitchell, Prosecuting
Attorney. Tho St. Clalrsvllle Gazette, re-
terring to the assaults Of the BellAire
Bourbon, says: mir. Mitchell has done
all In his power In these cases; and,
although lie failed to convict In some Of
the pai1est criminal cases ever brought
into court, we think the blame rests else
where" The Gdzsts is the leading Demo.
cratic paper Of the county, hence this re-
sponse to the assaults upon MIR. Mitchell
is important.
The Gazette ends fault with Judge 0key
In this respect. Maybe he Ia not always
iaultesa, but back Of tho bench and back
OF the bar will be found q matter much
more misunderstanding which is
sapping The very fountains Of jIstiCe--our
exeCrable jury system. AS a rule, good
men object TO having their names returned
to the CLERK for jury service. They re-
quest the township authorities not 10
rend their names In, and where this Is
done, and they arc drawn, they either do
not report at all or are excused on the
plea Of business, or something else. The
other class, on the contrary, frequently
ask the authorities TO put their names In
the Jury box. Others Of them hang
around tho Court House and areput Into
the box by the officers filling the panel.
| One mn thp infV Ia sufliCiBnt, No matter
how plain the CAGE to the other eleven be
can prevent tho finding OF a verdict. The
right Of trial by jury cannot be done away
with, but some better plan should be de.
Weed for providing jurors In the frat
place, and for filling vacancies Ia the
panel. At this session Of the Legislature
an attempt was male to amend the inry
law 80 as 10 allow thiee.foufthB TO render
a verdict. This experiment Is worth
