THAT GOODWIN JURY.

In its honest and conscientious diff
ference OF opinion as to the justice of
the verdict in the Goodwin case, the
Journal. Miner does not call into qucs-
ton the integrity or fair -mindcdness Of
any members Of the jury. That body
was composed Of eminentiy respectable
and conscientious men, and We can
readily believe that they performed
their duty according to their own
light in the matter.
The main feature Of their delibera.

to ccnsurc, Is that they should permit

But IL is doubtful IL even the col.

their true value until recently, when
he stood before the bar Of the federal
court at Springfield and heard Judge
Humphrey sentence him to sixty days
imprisonment for contempt. The news
sped fast to Chicago, and extra edi.
