PRESIDENT HARRISON, In countermsndipg
the order OF General Oftway disbanding the
negro companies In the Washington militia,
In consequence of the insufliciency of the
appropriation for the support OF ths whole
of that force, acted, as his predecessor did
upon the idea that negroes must be recog-
nlzsd, not because they are residents and
citiz ,ns of the country. but because they are
neg,oes, which idea Is contrary not only to
the letter, but to the spirit of the Constitu-
ton. Some of the companies should be
mustered ou'. 10 order that the others msy
be nsinIsined. Common aense teaches that
the most inefficient should go. The negro,
are notoriousiy less efficient than the white
companies. Bat Mr.. Harrison Gays the
ehortase in the funds shail affect the effi-
Gent and inefficient alike, for the reason
that mo color line shall be drawn In Wash

MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 16.

TIE JURY system, as now practicec, Is
bringing this country to lawless condition
and what happened in New CLEANS last
Saturday msy be expected 10 any other city
of the UnioD. The object Of the system re-
fer,ed to, as now conducted, seems to De
ot to punish, but TO acquit the guilty, al
ways provided, however, that they or theu
friends have money. Justice Is inVarlao'y
mested cut to euch Of them as are unable &c
nrncurs the required pork This nss
been borne until patience has ceased TO De
yirtne. and one OF the communities outraged
by the impunity with which crimes are com
mitted, rose last Saturday. took the law IN
ITS own hands, and dispensed the justice
which Jury had refused. But mob law is
worse than no law at all, for under IL Do
man is safe; and 1t is better tina. ten criml
nels escape than one Innocent man suhef'
Strict observance of the Law Ia the only safe
puard of republican government, and der
el;c.ion in this respect is bat another echo OF
the murmur of the approaching steps OF the
man on horseback. The hanging of men,
acquitted By the law, by an unlawful assem-
blsee of other men. was an iniuitely more
outrageous and Injurious crime than that OF
which the victims were accused. and the
perpetrators thereof should be brought to
condign punishment. But the Chief lesson
taught By this AFFAIR Is that the jury system
should either be reformed or abolished. L;
doesn't cult the present condition ofthe pee
p!e of the county 1t has ceased to effec!
the OBJECT for which it was instituted; the
DAYS OF it's usefulness are gone.
