TRIAL BY JURY.

Many intelligent persons ttink
that the venerable institution Of
trial by jury has outlived its use
fulness, and that the ends Of JUS
tice could be met more speedily
and surely by abolishing the sys-
tenn. There can be no doubt that
the recent conduct Of certain
juries, notably that of Star Route
notoriety, has brought reproach up
on the system, or that trial by jury
is often converted into an engine
of oppression to serve the purposes
of corrupt men; but it would not be
wise, or safe, to abolish the system
because it is attended with abuses.
With judges Of spotleSs integrity
and ripe learning, such as now con-
stitute the Judiciary Of our State,
one might safely dispense with
trial by jury. But the danger is
that corruption has found, and may
again find, its way to the bench.
If we look beyond the State courts.
we may not see the same high
character and unsullied integrity
that make our own judges the pride
OF our people What man would
not be tried by jury with all its
dangerous tendencies, rather than
by . partisan judge? What South
Carolina Democrat would not soon-I
sr place his liberty in the hands Of
| jury, packed or unpacked, than

entrust it to the tender considera-
ton Of the Honorable Hugh Bond?
The abuses of the jury system
are not peculiar to our country, or
to this age. In certain cases their.
evil effects may be checked by a
prompt Judge; for instance, Justice
Moule of England is said to have
used the following words. in sentenc-
ing a prisoner: prisoner at the
bar, your counsel thinks you inno-
cent, counsel for the prosecu-
ton thinks you innocent, [ think
you innocent. But a jury OF. your
own countrymen in the exercise Of
such common sense as they possess,
which does not seem to be much

mains that l should pass on you
the sentence Of the law. That is,
that you be kept imprisoned one

Only few.weeks have elapsed since from
one ofsour homes, the household pet was

their infants death. To those young parents
not in ''cruelty, or wrath was the Reaper
sent. but TO gather the tender flower, whose
RnfoldiDgs were TOO fine for earth and fit for
heaven. This week we record the death Of
one, who, as we heard a good man express II,
has been mother to the community II which
she lived. Miss Nancy Derrick is no more.
Two weary meatEs Of suffering were allotted
10 her, before God called her home. With
much Solicitude and care did her physician
aud friends watch over her, but the limit
beyond which we Cannot pass" bad come,
and on the morning OF the 9th she passed
through the unknown vale, as we have good
reason to believe, 20 a better land The life
of the deceased was not one of ostentation,
but like Dorcas, she filed her surroundings
with the odor of good deeds, She was for
many years consistent member Of St.
Peters (Lptheran) church, to which she was
ardently attached. Now her ashes rest in
its sacred yard by those whom she loved,
until He for whom the believer looks shall
appear the second time without sin unto
salvation"
Truly does Death in the morning SOW seed,
and in the evening not withhold the hand.
Scarcely had the wings OF morn borne away
the first sush Of grief, when loi another vail
Of woe was heard. On the evening of the 9th
promising little daughter of Mr.. Aii5erton
was Unexpectedly called to die. Another
heavenly warning! Saturday evening we
quietly laid her in Bethel churchyard, feeling
that her high mission was filed, and through
the binding tears we rejoiced that her sor-
rows were so soon over.

genial showers, but old corn is needing q

FOR LIFE.

common law burglary, or the break
inc into the clearinghouse of an
other, in the night time, with intent
to commit a felony, is punishable
by imprisonment in the State Pen
itentiary, for life; but the crime OF
breaking into the dwelling-house OF
another. in the day time, with In
tent to commit a felony, is punish
able at the discretion of the Court,
by imprisonment in jail or the Pen
itentiary, for q term of not more
than one year. It seems to US that
the penalty is too severe in the one
case, or too mild in the other.
Common law burglary is looked up
on as especially atrocious because
it is committed in the dead hours
of night, when all nature, except
beasts of prey, is at rest, and be-.
cause it is supposed to endanger
the life of the lord of the castle
the owner oc the dwelling-house.
But the high-wayman who lies in
wait and attempts to take life, with
out provocation, is visited with a
less punishment.
At our last Sessions Court, ne
gro lad of some nine summers was
convicted of burglary, and two
other negro boys under twenty
years of age were convicted OF
breaking into negro cabin, in the
night time, during the absence of
the owner, with intent to commit a
felony; life was not endangered in
either case, but the boys were SEN
fenced to lifetime servitude in
the Penitentiary, the Judge having
no discretion. in the matter. At
the same term of Court, a prisoner
was convicted Of assault and bat
terry of a high and aggravated ma
ture. upon an aged man, and an
other was convicted OF attempting
to poison an entire, family; the for
mer was fined fifty dollars, and the
latter sentenced to Imprisonment
at hard labor for ten years. Is the
crime Of the poisoner so much less
heinous than that Of the house
breaker, that this so marked dis
tinction should be made in the pun
ishment? Besides, in pronouncing
the life sentence upon the boys.
the Judge held out to them the hope
OF pardon, or at least a commuta-
ton of their sentence, by the Gov
ernor. In our judgment, it would
be wiser and juster to let the mat
ter rest with the discretion of the
Judge who hears the case and I'M
derstands the degree of the pris-
oner's guilt, than to teach the pris-
oner to look forward to an exercise
of the pardoning power, with the
hope of escaping from an unyield-
ing law.
We are in favor Of Furnishing
crime promptly and severely, but
we are also in favor Of Furnishing
it consistently. Even the crime of
house-breaking in the nighttime
has shades and degrees ofguilt that
should be considered in pronounc-
ing sentence; and, in all cases. the
penalty should be measured by the
atrocity Of the crime committed.

WHAT WILL RANDALL DO?
From the New York Herald.

The proposition to make Mr.. Ran
dali Speaker of the next House of
Representatives by coalition Of
Democratic and Republican votes
seems to gain favor in some Repub-
lican quarters. When the Herald,
some months ago, suggested this as
the proper and natural course, Mr..
RandalFs friends thought we were
joking; but they will soon see.
we suspect, that the course we ad-
vised is the only direct one, and
possibly the only one, by which
they can secure his success.
In the next House the Democrats
will have 1872 members, the Repub-
Iicans 120, and of the Is Indepen-
dents, all or very nearly all, will
vote with the Republicans, either
because as Readjusters they are OPP
posed to the Democrats or because
as Greenbackers they are Protec-
tionists.
In the Democratic caucus, if it
is full, the successful candidate for
the Speakership must get 81 votes.
It is not probable at this time that
Mr.. Randall can secure SO many;
and as the tariff question is becom-
ing more and more prominent as the
foremost issue before Congress and
the country, it is not likely that his
following will increa22 hereafter; it
will rather grow less.
At the same time it is very prob
able that his followers will adhere
to him tenaciously as against any
tariff reform candidate. They have
taken him up because of his posi-
ton on the tariff, and to abandon
him would not be merely to give up
their favorite at the behest Of the
caucus; it would be to surrender
their policy.
The question, therefore, arises
whether Mr.. Randall could carry
with him out Of the caucus enough
Democrats to secure his election if
to them were joined the entire
Republican, Readjuster and Green
back vote?
That is very difficult question
to decide at this time. When Mr..
Randall abandoned his party and
voted against it and with the Re-
pubicans Lass February on the
Tariff bill he was able to carry
with him only eighteen or nineteen
other Democrats. Of course, if he
could carry no more than these out
of the caucus with him next De-
cember, that would not be enough.
In full House he would need l63
votes; the, Republicans, Readjusters,
GTeenbackers and Independents al
together could give him only 133,
and he must therefore secure thirty
Democrats. Can he do this? Will
thirty Democrats follow him out of
the party, as nineteen did follow
him last February? 1t is an in
