stated the chief object of the organization is
to be quit Of white or colored bosses on the
one hand and Democratic methods and cor
ruptions on the other While still desiring
the ne gro votes, which will count as hereto
fore, they propose to stand apart from the
Republican party in Georgia as now denom-
mated by the negro and few white tramps
and bummers Two distinct races cannot
meet and contend harmoniously in con-
vention. Negro domination in the Republi-
can party, once in power in this state, has
reduced it to less than one-fourth its original
number, lost every member in congress, and
almost everyseat in the legislature At the con
clusion of the address permanent organiza-
ton was effected and a series of resolutions
adopted - in effect that the new
party will strive to purify the ballot
box; approving civil-service reform, &,
protective tariff, and the educational bill now
before congress; favoring inviting northern
and western statesmen to discuss political
question in this state, and finally indorsing
the administration of President Arthur
Some think this move is for the purpose of
forcing recognition of its leaders in the
delegations to Chicago, while others say it is
a split which will not be bridged over.

CINcIKNATI, April 1O.--A special grand
jury has been impsaeled with less time than
usually required. The list of men summoned is
composed entirely of leading business men of
the city. Nearly all responded and very few
asked to be excused. Three are said to have
had military certificates in their pockets,
which entitle them to exemption, but
they would not present them. The
jury, as made up, contains the names Of c.
w. West, George W. McAlpin, Thomas G..
Smith, joseph Safer, Herman Cooper, A. S.
Butterfield, and other equally well-known
business men. Instructions viii be given this
jury next Monday. In the mean time the
judges are in consultation On the subject 1t
is understood that the jury will be charged
with the most important duty of investi-
eating the facts concerning the late riot and
the burning of the court house, including the
charge of bribery against the jury that con-
yieted Berner.

VIII Close the saloons ON sunday.

MADISON, Wis, April 10-At the last
municipal election the Law and Order party
nominated a complete ticket. The Demo-
Gratis and Republicans later nominated full
tickets, which causGd nearly all of the
Law and Order candidates to withdraw,
and their party, headed by President Bas-
com, of the State university, Endorsed the
Democratic nominees, who were over
wheimingly elected. Immediately after the
election the agents of the Law and Order
party commenced the arrest of prominent
saloon-keepers for selling liquor to minors
and also on Sunday, and a number have
been heavily fined. At a largely attended
meeting of saloon keepers it was unanim-
ously voted to close their saloons on Sun
days, which is grand triumph for the Law
and Order party.

Arthur's standing at pome.

NEW YORK, April 10.-A canvass has been
made here to learn the probable complexion
of the city delegates to the Republican state
convention. So far as this canvass may be
relied on, it SIS very favorable to Arthur's
candidacy. John j. 0'Brien aud NJ. W.
Cooper both spoke in a way to indicate that
a solid Arthur delegation would go from this
city to Utica. There is at any rate no pros
pect OF an open fight against Arthur, such as
is going on throughout the state. George
William Curtis says he viii support the Re
publican nominee. Very strong Arthur sup
port has developed lately in the metropolitan
press Opinions of business men so far gath
cred show decided preference for Arthur.
The Mail and Express and Commercial Ad-
vertiser have come out squarely for his re
nomination, as indeed has The Telegram,
which is an afternoon edition of The Herald
while The Herald itself has been active in
canvassing business opinion with regard to
the matter

IT is said the main device tbrou

IT is said the main device through which
the course of justice has been INSTRUCTED
in Cincinnati and the punishment of
murderers made so infrequent has been
the plan Of challenging jurors because
they had read the testimony taken before
the corner. The legal sharps who prac-
tise in the criminal court of that city have
even gone so far as to put the testimony
taken BY the coroner in print and send
copies to everyone on the jury panel. so
as to manufacture incompetency This
shameful practice could never have made
a success, however, without the assistance
of the judges who SIT on the criminal
bench, and it is to be hoped that the re
formatory influences of last weeks out
break will be felt by them. 1t took a
panel of 1900 to get the twelve men who
brought in the Berner verdict and it is
utterly improbable that such would have
been the case if the Judge who sat in the
case had not permitted refined bubbles
to govern the challenges. 1t is absurd,
and should be. recogized as absurd by
every criminal judge, that the mere read
ing of newspaper accounts, or even of
verbatim reports of sthe testimony at a
coroner inquest should unfit man for
jury service in a murder case Such
principle has ..been recognized in many
courts, but it is time for US to realize that
it can be best honored in the breach. Too
much of the responsibility for the ineffic
iency of our methods of procedure in
criminal cases rests with the trial Judges
and the prosecuting attorneys, and public
sentiment should be brought to bear upon
those who are to blame in way that will
correct the evil. The state attorneys are
too frequently incompetent, and the judges
not seldom amenable TO the same com

these places than generally hold them, and
