FIFTY THIRD CONGRESS-.
SENATE.

For the third time in the short space
of FIVE weeks, the Senate met to-day
only to hear the announcement Of an
other gap made in its ranks by death.
A fortnight ago to-day funeral ceremo.
MES were held in the Senate chamber
over the remains of Senator Vance, of
North Carolina. Three weeks before
that day the like sad ceremonial had
taken Place over the remains of Sen
ator Colquitt, of Georgia. And to-day
the announcement was made OF the
death of Senator Stockbridge, of Michi-
gan, who died yesterday in Chicago.
The other two Senators had died in
Washington. The meeting of the Sen
ate to-day had been postponed from i |
Il. m. TO noon, so as TO give Senators an
opportunity of paying their last tribute
OF respect to the memory of Mrs. Nor
gan, wife of the Alabama Senator,
whose funeral took place this morning;
and in the chaplain's opening prayer
they were reminded of the death of
their associate from Michigan, whose
desk and chair, in the outer row of the
republican seats, were covered with
black cloth.
An unusually large number of SEN
ators were present at the opening pray
or. The formal reading of yesterdays
journal was dispensed with, and then
Senator McAIllin, the colleague of the
deceased Senator, made the announce
ment of his late colleagues death and
the Senate adjourned until tomorrow

Doc cATcHERs and dog pounds no

sick dogs in that city having been
turned over to the care of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails. Such should he the case in this
and all other cities. fiji were, the lives
of many valuable and useful dogs
would be spared. According to popu-
lar ignorance and natural cruelty, every
sick dog. and every well dog that re-
sents a kick. must be mad, and every
lost dog should be made so by harsh
treatment, and all alike should be
killed. Dogs are as liable to sickness
as men, and, properly treated, nine
tenths Of those that are sick will recov-
CT, and there isn't lost dog that will
not 90 home if he can possibly get
there. Bat to cure the former and en-
able the latter TO return, is the last
thought OF any lnan except their own
ers, and though dogs are mans best
friends, as q rule, they are treated, ex-
cept by their own masters, as his worst
enemies.

The RICH men of the North who op-
pose an income tay, really because they
would have TO pay it, assign as the
reason of their opposition the false one,
that it would be sectional tax, and be
imposed by the rebel brigadiers" upon
the North under the inspiration Of their
spiteful hate for the people who con-
quered them. 1t is hardly possible
that they can deceive even any body
in their own section by such talk. The
North is not by any means the only
portion of the country in which an in
come tag would be collected. There
are rich men in the West and South,
aud though they, being human, don't
like such tax, they are not so mean
and selfish as to attempt to oppose it.,

TRIAL BY JURY-A. B. N, City. Trial
by jury does not owe its existence to any
positive statute. but has grown up insens-
IDLY, and has become inextricably inter-
woven with the peoples habits. 1t was at
one time generally supposed that the
Anglo-Saxons had introduced that form of
trial in England. but an invest cation
showed eonclusiVely that trial by jury, as
now known and practiced. did not exist in
those times. In ancient Rome crimina al
trial was conducted before presiding
Judge and b body Of Judlces, taken
from particular class, whose duty it was
TO determine the fact of the guilt or inno-
cence OF the accused. Mr.. Forsyth in his
History OF. Jury Trial says: Courts were
presided over by a reeve, who had no voice
In the decision, and the number of persons
who sat was usually twelve. The asser-
tons of parties were admitted as con-
elusive when. supported by the oaths of a
certain number of cum purgators. the tes-
timony of the neighbour God was appealed
10 for the purpose of deciding matters of
general concern. Sworn witnesses were
appointed In each district. whose duty it
was to attest all bargains and transac-
tions, in order that they might be ready to
give evidence in case of dispute. Every
care was taken that all dealings between
m an and man should be as open and pub
lie. as possible. 1t was by a gradual pro-
cess of Improvement that the precise
functions OF the jury were defined. and it
would be beyond our limits to discuss the
details of this progress. 1t will suffice 10
describe the institution Of jury trial as it
now exists, and has fr centuries existed
with little alteration"
Wharton, a celebrated writer of lawbooks,
saws: 'During the Saxon heptarchy juries
of six Welsh and six Anglc-SaXOn free
men were appointed to try causes between
Welsh and Saxon disputants. Alfred the
Great established in 866 juries on their
present basis. .iures for the trial of aliens
are. according to English law. composed of
six Englishmen and six foreigners. The
Scottish juries consist of fifteen men, and
the majority pronounce the verdict. In
