BAD Features Of Jun Trials.

The civil jury Of to-day is a crude,
anomalous relic Of the past, which has
come down through four centuries
without material change, and which
could never have found a place in
modern Jurisprudence had IL not been
foisted upon US by time and circum-
stance. Men drawn at random from
the masses without any reference TO
their intelligence, experience or calling,
are made TO decide intricate questions
Of property. finance, trade, shipping,
mechanics, ETC., concerning which
they are wholly ignorant. As their
duties are temporary they gain no
experience. As they serve unwilling
ly and with impotence TO return TO
their business or homes, they are apt
to be careless and indifferent. In the
number of its members the jury is alb
surd. Controversies involving great
interests are decided by single Judge.
The disputes Of nations are settled by
two or three arbitrators. Business
men submit their differences to one Of
their own number. But in a jury
trial, however insignificant the amount
of the question involved, twelve men
are deemed essential to settle the mat.
ter satisfactorily. Nor is this the
most ridiculous feature Of the system.
In tribunals of arbitration, courts.
legislative and other bodies the great
est questions are decided by a major
ity. But in case Of jury the ancient
requirement Of unanimity which Hal
lam properly denounces as "prepos-
ferrous relic of barbarism," defeats
every verdict to which each of the
twelve jurors are not willing to agree.

DEATH.

Addison on this subject said:
"When | look back upon the tombs
Of the great, every motion Of envy
dies in me; when l read the epitaphs
OF the beautiful, every inordinate de-
sire goes out; when / meet with the
grief OF parents upon the tombstone,
my heart melts with compassion
when / see the tomb Of the parents
themselves, l consider the vanity OF
grieving from those whom we must
quickly follow. When / see kings
lying by those who deposed them,
when | consider rival wits placed side
by side, or the holy men that divided
the world with their contests and dis
putes, reflect with sorrow and as
constituent on the little competitions,
factions, and debates o. mankind.
When / read the several dates of the
tombs. of some that died yesterday
and some six hundred years ago, ]
consider that great day when we shall
all Of us be contemporaries, and make
our appearance together"

The prodigious sum Of sl7 ,342, S75
is called for by the River and HarbOr
Appropriation bill. No wonder that
it has been four months in connecting.
Compared with this the monstrous
expenditures of previous years are
eclipsed. Not long ago four millions
was thought shameful extravaganza
for this purpose, and eight millions
caused general outcry. Eleven
millions last year seemed TO be an ex-
ceptional audacity that might never
be repeated. Yet here we have be-
tween seventeen and eighteen millions
coolly reported. with the chances that
between eighteen and nineteen will he
voted. What is the reason of this
lavish distribution of the peoples
money? 1t cannot be simply. the Mis-
sissippi floods. because it would be
easy to postpone for year or two
other works ofinternal improvement,
in order TO effect repairs on that river.
The true reason is the allegation, made
in the report OF the House COMMITTEES
on Commerce, that Eat no time in its
history has the United States Treasury
been in so good condition as now to
warrant large expenditures in this
direction" Ia other words, the peo'
pie having been needlessly taxed, the
surplus allows this prodigious expend
iture. -....
