DRAWING THE JURY.-The present
manner Of drawing the jury in our
Court ID anything but satisfactory to
many Of our citizens and tax payers,
and needs Q radical change. 1t was
to similar mode of drawing the
jury, more than aDything else, that
brought about the judicial change of
affairs in the Courts of Baltimore city.
It had become so intollerant that the
people made up their minds to put an
end to ell Court House cliques, which
they did most efectually at the next
ensuing election. There is no fault to
be found In the system of drawing our
jury, but the great complaint comes
from the manner of selection, by which
the same individuals are annually
drawn upon the jury lists This has
been carried on from year to year, and
90. systematic has it become that any
Observant person can name a number
Of those who will be put on the jury
from term to term. Now this is all
very wrong, and right-thinking peo-
pie will condemn IT. No longer than
the late drawing was the name of
one Of our most estinable citizens and
taxpayers rejected from the list on the
pretext Of his having said many years
ego that he was opposed to capital
punishment, Notwithstanding he has
served on juries several times since.
There has been too much of this IN
Ueybd naGgsstrs jasrGs.e system in Sc
Letting our juries, and unless there be
some change, and more equitable
representation is made in the drawing,
It will no doubt result in bringing
about the same disafection in the
minds Of the people, with the same
result as it did in Baltimore city. Az
: public journal we feel it incumbent
upon as to speak Of these abuses
whenever they are brought to our OBJ
servation, feeling assured, they will
be corrected when brought to the at
teAtion Of the proper Official
