SHERIDAN'S RIDE.
[ Published by request of members of the 10th

Published by request of members Of the 10th
O.V l..
Up from the South at break of day.
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
The affrighted air with shudder bore.
Like herald in haste, to the chieftain's door,
The fearful grum5le aud rumble and roar,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan-twenty miles away.
And wider still those pillows of war
Thunaered along the horizons bar;
And louder yet into Winchester rolled
The roar OF that red sea uncontrolled,
Making the blood of the listener cold
As ne thought of tho stake in that fiery fray,
And Sheridan--twenty miles away.
But there is road from Winchester town:
A good. broad highway leading down;
And there. through the flush of the morning
light,
A steed as black as the steeds of night,
Was seen to pass as with eagle flight
As if he knew the terrible need,
He stretched away at his utmost speed;
Hills rose and fell-but his heart was gay,
With Sheridan fifteen miles away.
Still sprung from those awful hoofs, thunder
ing South.
The dust, like the smoke from the cannon's
mouth,
Or the trail Of comet sweeping faster and
faster.
ForebodIng the foeman the doom of disaster,
The heart of the steed and the heart of the
master
Were beating like prisoners assaulting their
walls,
Impatient to be where the battle field calls;
Every nerve of tie charger was strained to
full play.
With Sheridan only ten miles away.
Cnder his spurning feet. the road
Like an arrowy Alpine river flowed.
And the landscape sped away behind
Like an ocean flying before the wind;
And the, steed, like bark fed with furnace
ire,
Swept on with his eyes full of fire.
But, lol he is nearing his hearts desire
He is snuffing the smoke of the roaring fray,
With Sheridan only fye miles away.
The first that the General saw were the groups
Of stragg,ers. and then the retreating troops
What was done-what to do-a glance told
him both,
Then striking his spurs with a terrible oath.
He dashed down the line mid storm Of
huzzas,
And the wave of retreat checked its way there
because
The sight of the master compelled it to pause.
With foam and with dust the black charger
was gray;
By the lash Of his eye, and his red nostrils
play.
He seemed to the whole great army to say:
II have brought you Sheridan all the way
From Winchester town, to save the day"
Hurrsh. hurrah for Sheridan!
Hurrah, hurrah for horse and m1n!
And when their statues are placed on high,
Under the dome of the Union sky
The American soldiers Temple of Fame
There, with the glorious Generals name,
Be it said in letters both bold and bright,
"Here is the steed that saved tho day
By carrying Sheridan into the fight
From Enthusiastically miles way"

An Absurd Jury Law
New York Herald, IS.

ANNH vi AeAAA TO-
The a~bsurdity and mischievous ten
dency OF the principle that the verdict
Of a jury must be unanimous have
been illustrated in many recent cases,
but in none more forcibly than in that
just tried at Washington. The Star
Route trial was exceptionally long and
expensive. 1t monopolized the time
Of one court for nearly four months
and cost the government an enormous
sum of money. 1t was of vital impOr-
lance that the trial should be decisive.
Yet this result was defeated by one or
two men. In the case of j. w. Dor
sey and Vale, n juror vetoed the
votes Of eleven others, while the con-
viction Of Brady was prevented by
two, and that Of s. W. Dorsey by
three jurors. In fact, it is reasona-
bic to suppose that all the mischief
was done by one man. Had Foreman
Dickson voted with the majority it is
not likely that the colored juror Brown
would have stood out alone for the
acquittal Of Brady, nor that Brown
and Holmead would have voted SO
persistently for clearing S. w. Dorsey.
The fact that they had with them the
foreman Of the jury gave to Brown and
Holmead a moral courage and a sense
Of security which they would not have
had without him. Three fourths of
the jurors found S. w. Dorsey guilty,
aud more than three-fourths believed
Brady, Vale and j. W. Dorsey guilty.
Under a sensible and proper jury sys.
tenn a three fOurths vote, whether for
conviction or acquittal, would be de
cisive and end the case.
The principle of unanimity is op-
posed by every consideration Of reason,
justice and common sense. 1t gives
one juror an absolute veto power over
esueyen others. 1t makes it easy for
the entire proceedings of long and
costly trials to be snuulled, and the
ends Of justice defeated by the stu
pidity, obstinacy or corruption of one
man. When nine intelligent, un
biased men out of twelve find
a prisoner guilty it is doubtless
true that he is guilty and ought to be
convicted; when the same number
find him not guilty it is but Just to
hold him innocent aud acquit him.
The present practice is n of the
crude primitive notions of the ancient
common law that is entirely out of
place in this age and our advanced
system Of Jurisprudence. 1t is simply
a mischievous means of thwarting the
ends OF justice aud the interests of
society and it ought to be abolishedin
both federal and State courts.
