kV We have had occasion heretofore
to refer to the partisan character of he
late Jury summoned by Sheriff Newcomer


Doubtless it has been supposed that
our remarks on the subject were the pro-
duct of political feelings in ourselves. But
the exclusive partisan character of that
Jury was 50 manifest, gross. and pointed
that even the Judge of the Court. h imssl f
q radical, ,0ts constrained to acknowle dge
it; and to secure justice to suitor not a
Radical, actually removed q case from
tr al before that Jury for no other reason
whatsoever than because of their partisan
and political purjudices.


The application for this removal was
distinctly based upon she fact that the
party making the affidavit Was of differ
ent way of thinking from the Jury and
that The opposing party was Of the same
faith with the Jury that is "Loyal."


1t further stated, as We learn, that there
were circumstances in the case calculated
to awaken the political resentment of this
partisan jury. With the facts stated in
this affidavit, touching the partisan preju-
diccs and character of the Jury, the
JiHlye agreed and for that cause, ordered
the case to be removed.


When Sheriff so far profancs his sacred
Office, and prostitutes his public obi ga
tions as to Sicken and disgust the Judge
on the bench with the partisan character
of his Juries, it is high time the public
we're holding such man to a heavy
responsibility.


We cannot fotbear, in this connection
congratulating Judge French for his
resolution and firmncss; in thus stamping
with the seal Of his official disapprobation
proceeding which so dearly filed the Jury
box with the worst form of political preju-
dices. The conduct of the Sheriff snd the
emphatic condemnation of it by the Judge
will remain in perpetual record to be
despised and scorned forever by all Just
mon.

r E1-If ii be true, as the Radicals nop
assert, that the present constitution Of this
State does not secure to the people Re-
publican form Of Government. who is to
blamc;sThc Radicals Of course. They not
only framed it, but secured its adoption
at the point ofthc bayonet. Such Democrats
as were suspected of opposing it were
thrust aside as unworthy of the night Of
suffrage. To have iatimatcd such a hing
in the palmy days of Radicalism, when
Lincoln ruled the land with a rod of iron,
would have subjected one to Incarceration
in some bastile or transportation beyond
the lines. Now we have from the mouth of
Radicalism itself an acknowledgement Of
the utter worthlessuess of their pet tho
present constitution OF Mary land.

E1-A miserable set of butchers must
be these Radicals But a very few year
ago and they called Il Convention in this
State to frame new constitution After n
session of months one was adopted and
submitted to the people AMI in n n,a,tcr
ratified. 1t was supported by this same
Radical party and hailed by them as the
acme of wisdom. They shouted prodi gi-
ously over it and say loud the praises f
loyal Maryland" Of Free Maryland"
and her New Constitution.


Since the recent election, however, they
have discovered that the Constitution they
have framed and so glorifcd is not Re-
publican in its form. and they are anxious
y looking to Congress to take such steps
as will rectify their cgrcgious blunder.-
Had they succeeded in carrying their point
at the fall elections We should never have
heard Of the Constitution lacking provis-
ions to render it Republican in form. But
the Legislature which assemblies on We'd
nesday next, will. We hope, save Congress
all trouble on this point by Immediately
providing for the call of Convention to
frame Constitution that will be Rcpub-
lican in its provisions. The Democracy
have always eontcnded that the present
Constitution was not Republican in form
and have only been surprised that the
Radicals themselves could not seo it,
Nowthat they have acknowledge i it, it is t,
he presumed tha, they will not only make
no opposition to a Convention to secure q
form of government that IS Republican bu.

racy in correcting their errors.

An Eng glishwoman who assembled Vesuvius
in Jnns, writes the following account of her
adventure


L" We started from Sorrento, slept at Cas-
tellamare, and set out from there at six A. NJ .
and drove to Resina, where mounted horses,
and proceeded to climb very broken and oc-
casionally steep staircase to the Hermitage.
The ascent required firm faith in ones steed,
and to keep IN the saddle involved terrible
strain on ones back. At the Hermitage we
refreshed ourselves, and then toiled on for an
other hour through immense fields of lava
the deposits Of the eruption of '5S-which


brought US to the veritable foot of the noun
tain. Here began the real tug of war. Mrs.
-was seated in chair with four bearers
but the rest of us did the ascent on foot with


the help of alpen-stocks and guides. 1t was
irving work, but | was fortunate enough to get
the assistance of two guides, one of whom
went before with strap, to which | held fast
We we're three-quarters of an hour during this
part OF the climb and as it was very hot it was
fortunate in one respect that the day was rath-
er cloudy.


"Our view, however, was not so perfect as
it would have been on brighter day, but we
had, through breaks in the clouds, glimpses Of
the vast plain beneath, and in it Pompeii re-
stored to daylight. Vesuvius was rather ex-
cited, and there we're low rumblings, varied
every two minutes with an outburst of red hot
lava thrown up about twenty feet. This con-
tinued during the whole time that We were
there. Mr.. L. says that the crater is totally
different from what it was two years ago. Ii
is much less deep, and seems to have been
filled in far more than it was, and to be still
filing. When quite full there will, l suppose.


be another great eruption. In spite OF the


horrible appearance of the crater, with it,


patches of su!phurous smoke, three of US de-
termned to 90 down into it. We scrambled
down through quantity of loose small lava


about thirty feet, and at each step We sank up
to our knees, and seemed to find no footing.
1t seemed as if we should be buried by the


rnbble that we set in motion about US. That


peril, bad as it was, was nothing compared to


the danger of suffocation by the horrible sui


phurous steam. The air. too, was frightfuiy


hot, and in many places we could not stand


for more than half a minute, so scorching was


the ground beneath our feet The whole sur.
face of the bottom Of the crater was like a


stormy sea that had been petri6ed, whilst
through cracks we could see the lava glowing
| red hot only few inches below US, and the


fiery red contrasting startingly with the dense


blackness everywhere else around US. We had


sometimes to take bold leap from one rock to


another, as the lava gave way beneath US, and
threatened to let US through into this meth
er furnace. l tore my dress sorely BY the


sharp rocks, and cut and burnt my boots tt
pieces. So much for Vesuvius."

gestion was made to him that there was
any testimony to be introduced for the
prisoner.


Captain Cook, of the Bureau, arose and
said that the negro told him that he had
further testimony. The Captain, however,
did not attemptto explain the charge which
he had made against the Mayor.


His Honor then appealed to the police
men and reporters present to say If any
such testimony was offered in the case, and
the response was that no one had ever
heard of it before.


The Mayor then ordered that the prisoner
be again brought before him, and every
opportunity will be afforded him to prove
his innocence, notwithstanding the reckless
assertion of the 4" Bureau" Phe case will

Apprehensions are felt by the family and
friends of Mr.. Louis Fox, the distinguished bill
lard player, of this city, as to his safety. He
has not been seen or heard from since Tuesday
forenoon of last week, when he left his residence
on North Clinton street, apparently in his usual
health and spirits. few minutes later he was
met by Mrs. c. A. Kellogg at the west end of
Andrew Street Bridge, and that is the last that
is known of his movements. For two or three
days 1t was supposed that he might have gone
TO New York. He had been talking of visiting
that CITY, but as he took no baggage or change
OF clothing it was supposed that his absence
could not be protracted beyond day or two.
Eight days have now elapsed without bringing
any tidings OF him, and il seems to us that the
alarm of his family is fully justified by the cir.
cumstances, especially as his most intimate &C
quaintances in New York and other cities say,
in reply 10 kilograms, that they have not seen
or heard of him.


Mr.. Fox carried an umbrella in his hand
when he left home, and is supposed to have
had about one hundred dollars in money in his
pocket.
