One OF the most worthy cases ever
tried In the south Is now in progress
In Charleston, South Carolina, aud an
important feature Of the case is the
fact that seven OF the twelve Jurors
are coiored men. THIS is ihe case OF
Or. Mellow, who is now on trial for
his life for killing Captain Dawson,
and It must not be forgotten that the
prisoner is not Gully white man, but
also, that according to the laws Of that
state he selected lis own Jury. Thirty
years ago jury composed In this
manner would have been an impossi-
billy, and the man who would have
predicted that such thing would ever
occur, would have been set down as a
lunatic. The Idea OF the life of white
man being 10 the hands of jury the
majority OF whom were colored men,
would have been considered prepos
ferrous, as al that time colored men
and women were nothing but chattels,

master.
But time makes many changes, and
ihe emancipation proclamation Of
President Lincoln converted these
chattles into ireemen, and the amend
ments TO the constitution endowed
them with all the nights, privileges
and franchises Of citizens. They arr
now endowed with all the civil AMI
political rights possessed by their Tor
mer masters, and the fact that DR.
mellow has chosen fury composed
OF majority Of colored men show
that he is more willing 10 trust his lif
In their hands than those of Wilt
men. Notwithstanding the emancipa
ton proclamation and the amendment
to the constitution Il is only about tie
years since mixed juries were Above
IN all the Southern States, and II ha
been less than that time since colore
man was granted new trial in tn
State on the ground that colored me

hibiting bands Of music and drum
corps from paralng the streets at
night. Last evening one or more of
these nuissnces were cut In the eastern
part of the city and made night
hideous with their noise. They kept
this up until long after 10 o'clock, and
many 6 man who had worked hard
all day was deprived Of the rest which
he greatly needed. On several coca.
lions horses have been frightened by
these bands at night, and only few
weeks since one of them was the
cause OF a riot in the western part Of
the city, which resulted in the death
Of one boy and the serious wounding
of two others. This night drumming
around the streets Of our city has be
come too common, and therefore Il

THE Chicago Inter. Ocean in speak
Ding OF the vote on Prohibition in the
different States sayB:

THE Chicago Inter. Ocean in speak
ding oil the vote on Prohibition in the
different States ssys:
y Good people need not be worried over
che vote on Prohibition Ia Pennsylvania
or Rhode island. The country believes
more 10 temperance to-day than ever
before. They simply believe there Ia a
better way TO promote II than by making
constitutions and laws TO prohibit before
public sentiment is strong enough to
enforce 1t, High license, with local option,
permitting every locality that Is ripe for
the reform to enforce It, meets the
demand of the hour, and third party
advocates who fail to see 1t are blind.
The sooner they again set about teaching
more temperance and less politics the
better.
I There is no one who has studied
this question in all its phases who will
not agree with the above. The cause
Of temperance has not been injured by
the recent vote on Prohibition, but on
the contrary has been advanced.
The true friends of temperance
know that Prohibition does not pro-
hiDit, and that the only hope OF lessen
ing the evils OF intemperance is In
high license. and restrictive liquor
laws. This has been tried and still is
in operation in Pennsylvania, conse-
quently It is not difficult to account for
the large majority against the prohibi
tory amendment There are, Of course,
eome cranks, who coHfound felony with
misdemeanor and contend that as we
have laws Gffixing punishment for
L. "a
Should also have prohibitory liquor
laws, whether they prohibited the
manufacture and sale or not, but for
tunately such persons are in q hopeless
minority, and generally belong to that
class who cannot use liquor without
stunning into Incorporate habits them.
selves. The majority Of the people al
over the country believe that there is {
better waysof stemming the tide of 10
temperance than by rrohibitory laws

dangering the health of other people by
wilfullv attending meetings and gong about

There are sixteen class room for the

FOR the FAIR OF '92,
New YOrk'S Fund Grows and Her
Comm tteeS Work Steadily.

New York's Worlds Fair Guar antee Fund
is still growing and now amounts to five
and a quarter millions of dollars, and though
not so much is being said about it now as
there was a month ago the committees are
quietly completing their work for the great
battle royal which will occur in Washington
early IN the new year.
The United States Senate Committee on
the Worlds Fair has fixed upon Jan. & as
the time when they will hear the arguments
of the several cities who have announced
their desire to have the Exposition within
their gates.
Chauncey NJ. Depew and Elihu Root are
spoken of as the probable representatives OF
New York before that Committee. and the
Committee on Legislation appointed by
Mayor Grant arc preparing a plan. for pre-
senting the case IN behalf of New York.
Meantime the representatives at Washing
ton of the four ambitious cities desiring the
Fair got together at Wizards Hotel last
lines OF the coming battle.
New York was, represented by Congress
men Flower and Spinola;, Washington by
Commissioner Hine and Douglas, and
Messrs. Hallett Kilbourn and Alexander d.
AnderBon; ST.. LOUIS by Congressman
Frank, and Chicago by Senator EarwSllI,
win Walker and Mr.. Cragin.
Commissioner Douglas, Congressman
James j.. BeldelI, OF syracuse, ana MeSkis.
Hit and Frank were appointed AZ a Com-
mittee to wait upon Speaker Reed az repre-
gentatlves OF all the rival cities and ask him
to select the House Committee on the
Worlds Fair Immediately, 80 that the hear
ings could be held and the question Of site
determined at the earliest practicable mo-
ment.
Senator Farwell assured the meeting that
the Senate would pass a Worlds Fair bill
within sixty days, and the meeting adj
journed.
Mayor Grant has received from the Wo-
mems Suffrage Association of Philadelphia
a gentle but cauStic reminder of the exist
ence OF the softer sex, which he seems to
have overlooked in HIS selection of Worlds
