The POpular PaDer.

This is the tirsf summer that the cir.
culation of the REPUBLICAN did not
experience a slight falling off during
the hot months when a large number of
people are generally away at the sea
shore or up in the mountains. This
summer instead of FILLING off i'll circn-
lation it has actually Increased, and We
now never run off less than G4OO, unlrs,
some odd day when there are several
excursions and some of the newsboys
are away enjoying themselves. The
circulation oftener exceeds 900 than
it falls below &, 400. Thi, is plain,
tr ,thful, unyarnished sta!emenl With,

Tennessee's Farce.

The farce of trying Tennessee Treasu
ry thief, M. c. Polk, has reached the
point of choosing jury of twelve ignor.
ant men which occupied two weeks
We are informed that the jury is COM
posed Of persons residing in the rural
districts who are not overburdened with
Intelligence Two of the Jurors actual
1y did not know what district they
lived in, and not a single member OF
the jury,if their oaths are to be believed
ever read anything regarding the defal.
cation and therefore knew nothing abOu
it. This brings home with more force
than anything that has transpired for
some time the miserable character OF
jury trials by ignorant men. Here is a
man who stole from the State, which
had entrusted him with the keeping
Of its funds, nearly halfa million dol
lars, and here are twelve men set up in
mockery of justice to try his case who
aver that they never read anything
about the tremendous robbery though
the papers were full of detailed accounts
of it, There are but few positions in
life that the people would desire to have
filled by unlettered men. Even an
everyday laborer who is intelligent i.
to be preferred to one utterly ignorant
of the first rudiments of knowledge
These twelve men unless they are eX'
traordinary exceptions to the general
rule will be subject to every tickle i'm.
pulse and will be swayed in any direc.
ton by the passion and eloluence of the
attorneys who are to plead. The law
to them Of course will be strange let.
ter They will ve told that they must
render u verdict in accordance with the
evidence given in the case.
If there were nothing exacted from
the witnesses but the plain, unvaru!sh
cd truth and no attempt made by "un,
ming and insinuating attorneys to per
vert the truth and to sway the minds Of
the jury they might be- capable of rem
dering an equitable verdict. But whc
supposes that this will be done. The
aim of the attorneys in choosing such a
Jury is that they may mislead them and
that by covering up the real truth with
impassioned eloquence they may be in
duced to clear this great criminal wht
stole by thousands, while if one of the
Ignorant jury stole ham OF a loaf o
bread, they would be sent to jail for it
What miserable farce of justice Tt
make the case more Ota farce than
ever, some other thief has stolen th'
State Treasurer's check book, thus re
moving the documentary evidence o
Polk's glaring guilt Ony one thing
more is needed to make the farce com
plpte, and that is for some kidnapper t,
steal the court and thus end the mi>er
able play of how no TO do justice.

Abuse Of Children.

A heart story of inhumanity
comes to US by a special from Reading,
of the inhuman treatment Of Rosa
Strarse, a little girl only twelve years
Of age. Her tormentor is Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Stewart, the wife of a farmer
said to be in good circumstances. Rosa,
if reports are true, was made to do a
mans work in the hay field and was
compelled to get up as early as one
O'Clock in the morr ing t. commence
her slavish morning work preparatory
60 her work in the fields She has been
beaten repeatedly and most unmerci'
fully by Mrs. Stewart, who WAS only
restrained from doing further violence
by her own son. She was made to
gather berries in the woods and amongst
the briars, TO be sold in market, until
her legs and feet were torn and fes ere l.
When rescued she had large sores on
her feet, the result of bruises and thorns
and splinters were fostering in the flesh
of her little ankles and calves. The
fisnd in human shape was sick when
arrested and will have a hearing this
week. No doubt Mrs. Stewards wealth
and social position in society will be
exercised to protect her from the pun
ishment which she so richly deserves.
If member of some church, she will
very likely be held up as an example
of piety, especially if she was libera
giver. We think we can already set
how little Rosa will be made out a lial
of the first water and such IA precociou.
youngster that nothing would subdu.
but the treatment she is reported tt
have received. The scars and the fes.
tering sores upon her tender feet and
legs of course were caused by her own
perverseDess, carelessness and reckless
ness in going where she should not and
in doing what she should not do. We
pity Rosa, and there are hundreds whl
are in a like position. There are orphan
, children, some worse than orphans
with no one to care for them excep
those who overtask and abuse them
But there is a consolation in the though
that God hears the cry Of the orphan
and the oppressed and He will make il
even some day.
