great that In tho closing moments ono OF

1t is said that yesterday was the first time
a colored man was over summoned as Juror
In the General Sessions. II such was the case.
and 1t is alwayG rash to set date to tho first
happening OF any event. It is certainly Q note
worthy fact. Colored men form no insIgnifl-
cant proportion OF the inhabitants OF New
York: they give local color to whole dis.
tricts. not merely to Thompson street for the
most part they are workmeD. servants In
clubs and private families. elevator men.
BARRIERS. and small shopkeepers. but they are
not unknown in the professions. and their
paper. the Age. is edited with inteli-
Rence. The theory OF the jury system Is
to get together not twelve exceptionally
clever and selected men, but merely mon
Of sufficient understanding to represent
fairly the average common sense OF
tho community; and that many colored men
In Now York are qualified by this standard is
unnuestionable. 1t Is we'll that tho Recorder
excused this Juror only temporarily. for the
more solidarity there is among our citizens.

We notice that good many OF the clergy

putation use very harsh language about each
other In their eermons. They deserve to be
