Political Points.

In the opinion of the Burlington Oowa)
Press the question OF an extra session OF
| Congress has become pressing, and Mr..
Arthur will do his duty in calling one.
Saws the Rochester Union: Several of
our esteemed Republican contemporaries,
with more OF less pronounced protectionist
leanngs, are seeking to throw the response
blity of failure TO revise the tariff upon
the Democrats in Congress. The absurdity
OF this effort is apparent TO the country in
the fact that our Republican friends are in
majority in both branches OF the Ma
tional Legislature.
The Philadelphia Inquirer thinks capt.
talists will probably look upon Tennessee
as an excellent place from which to stay
away. The mar who would now invest
in the securities OF such Commonwealth
would be regarded in centuries with mir
gled feelings of pity and curiosity. His
simplicity would be so child-like and bland
as to discountenance the far-famed smile
OF All Sin.
Says the st. Louis Republican: The Re-
publican leaders thought that they were
laying a dynamite mine under the Demo
cracy when they rushed the tariff question
into Congress, but from the dizzyialtitude
to which they have been hoisted by their
own petard they are doubtless able TO see
| lust now that there hasn't been very much
SCATTERING OH the Democratic side. We
can't boast of quite the degree OF barmo-
NOUS solidity among the Democrats that
we would wish to see, but there has at any
rate been substantial evidence, which the
country will not fail to recognize, that the
Democracy is honestly and heartily in favor
OF tariff reform.

Sarnh's Husband Exnlafns.

NJ: Damala, the husband Of Sarah Bern
hardt, has written letter TO one OF the
Paris newspapers announcing his retire
ment from the stage, and his intention OF
resumlng his old profession OF n soldier.
He says II Is not true that he and his wife
are about to separate. The rumors that
they were to separate have had their
foundation in his retirement from the stage.
"France,' he continues, (Which treats my
wife as n spoiled child, will, l hope, have
room for me under the shadow Of her flag.
Being passionately fond Of the stage, j de-
ceiyed myself rs TO the possibility of at
once taking a place not too unworthy OF
that which my wife occupies in the first
rank. But Notwithstanding the indulgence
with which was received, must be more
severe toward myself than the press and
public have been. Reason and honor call
upon me to take manly resolution, and
therefore renounce my dream Of being
an actor, and resume the career OF arms.
This very day enlist in the foreign legion,
and solicit the favor Of letters OF grand
naturalization" NJ. Damala was once &
sub-lieuteDant in the army OF Greece.

Jury Trials.

s. ROMEO REED, OF the Cincinnati Com
saerciol, would go back to the days before
mama chorfa secured the right Of trial by
aiury Of his peers to every person charged
with crime. Trial by judges has no doubt
antiquity to recommend il. After long and
sad experience, the people of England rose
i'm their might and demanded trial by jury.
If all judges were able, capable, faithful,
and impartial, iuries would be unneces-
sary. II there were never any power
above nor populace below TO influence
judges uniustly, unrighteously, wicked
iy, truculently, persuasively, or pecu-
niarily, then iuries might be done away
with. But so long as men recall BACON,

Get us beg pardon in advance for saying
SOY the eight-by.seven Electoral Commits
sion OF 1876 Of the United States, or ten
thousand other wicked, or weak, or cor
rupt Judges, who could be named, they
will never consent to abolish iuries.
II the world were always at peace-if no
judges never yielded t. popular excite
ment-there might be chance to get the
masses to surrenderiury-trials. But let your
mind recur to the late war between the
States, and to the courts of the country as
they existed during that war and during
the period Of reconstruction; recall the
names OF the DURELLs, the UNDERwOoDs,
and hundreds Of other harpies sitting upon
the bench they disgraced, and let us heai
no more about dispensing with iuries. In
all times Of high party excitement,-and
especially in times Of civil commotion,-
the courts are the merest travesties of Jus.
tioe nnless the judges have iuries to assist
them In administering justice. These
words suggest the difference between 0
