Tlie essay was an able paper, which made a strong presentation of the argument In favor of abolishing the system Judge Cotliran thought that the expression ol n Jury was little else than the expression ol popular sentiment. That a vote as to a result was too much like a vote for the most popular man. Col. O. T. Calhoun disagreed from the essayist In the Idea thill.Iudtres should take' the place of the Jury panel. He sit Id lie hud j r >ine clients who were Jointly charged with murder. They were tried three times and tl-! Willy acquit led. He though teach of the three Judces, who tried the ease ut different times, I would have hung his clients. Judges weicj too npt to t?e severe. Ellis (?. Graydon, Esq., I Unstained the Jury law by a forcible argtt-1 ment; and W. N'. tlrnydon. Esq., also favored ! the present system; S. C. Canon, Esq.. liked ttie Jury system because he thought It as cimhI ns any other system, and because It was satisfying to the people; Mr. Parker upheld the law; Judge Pressiy said as Jud^e he would tlKllkc to seethe law abolished; that to add the duty and responsibility of verdicts iu jerimlnal ca^es would he to add a great I ourden to the offi<x:r: lie believed, so far, as his experience went, that the verdicts ofi the Juries nineteen times out of twenty ren- j <iereti me vrniicin winm The subject was further discussed by Capt.

Ho S|i?ikk ? hi? toroo nmi r.nrnesi-1 iic> t Ajrnlnst the Ent ru*l inu' of our BomN to nny Allcp-d Knilroad. Respected audience ! I do not propose to try to entertain you with anything like sin elaborale speech. 1 merely desire 10 make a lew remarks upon tlie Itaiiroad ouestlon that is now undergoing Agitation in i>ue West towhslilp, roV your consideration. I am a lover and advocate of a gtwd government, and persiiaded It is thy duty, and I esteem it a privilege, to pay a tax to defray the necessary expenses to run it, provided it Is on an honest basis. Our nature is so corrupt and debase that wecould not live in peace, harmony and quiet, utiles* we had rulers and laws by which ? to lie governed. I am cognizant of this fact i and recognize it, absolutely necessary that my effects should be taxed to pay a quota of expenses of the State and CoUnty. Hut I do I protest, against a I tall rend tax. I do not regard it as essential to lay wei tare. Iain not convinced it will l>e the means of warding air the "wolf" and getting the baby a "red dress." Self-preservation Is the first lawof natureand my reelings Instigate an opposition to this unjust contemplated additional load of taxation. Frequently the governmental tax. my friends, | you nre well aware, is hard to be cancelled or I paid on account of a failure of mother earth, the soil, to yield an adequate sUlllcieney of fruits to enable us to defray the necessary expenses of lifc. We are denied a surptusol pro-1 ceedxof our labors to convert Into ready cash 1 for outside purposes. We are compelled to1 forego the luxuries or even the comforts of J life in order to keep the haggard form of star vation from assailing us arm preying upon | our vitals. I would ask the furincrs asscm-j hied here to-day, what Is your present condl- j lion? Have your crops, for the last two years heen amply sufficient to release you from all nb-olute necessary obligations ami a little rash left over in your pockets, to meet a railroad tax? Methlnks, I hear a voice. In your inidsi, eeho, I am in debt, head-over-heels and God only knows when I'll he relieved. I labored hard and sweat profusely In trying to make a crop for the last two years and failed prodigiously. I am at the mercy of my creditors and compelled to demand of them longer Indulgence and a continuation of favors. Are not those debts daily assuming larger propoitions in exacting ten, or even seven per rent, interest? Have you not tacn lequlred, perhaps, to given lienor mortgage or ussurmice of some kind to make cer'ain of their payment in the In-coming crop? Perhaps some of us purchased land on "lime" or borrowed capital, previous to these sorry crops j when the prices were booming on the heels of the fruitful crop of 1>S2 and paying the ruinnus ten per ccnt. Interest, and now. on tu> count of these unavoidable events, and ward* ty of labor, It Is scarcely saleable at any price, but, remember my friends, you are still bound to pay what you gave and the exorbitant in lerest, without any reduction whatever. We ire insplied with a hope of realizing a bountl-l rul harvest this year, that will enable ustoj proclaim freedom fro i. bondage of debt. Hut, ] my friends, we know not what is stored In the womb of futurity. Already, there are perceptiblenigns In our fields Indicating comparatively a small yield of the oat cereal, the; "anchor of safety," that proved In years thatj ire past, the salvation of the country. Such < I i curtailment of our expectations in tills par- j llcular, will magnify the difficulty In wading j through the "hard times." Weareon tlieeve]' jf tax-paying time and perhaps you area ware i' the taxes are much higher on account of the! unprecedented calamity that the county sus- 1 Lnined In linvine so many of her bridges' wept from tlicir resting places. dovrn to Mic j1 l>ort of destruction. C?ii wo meet the first inbailment Willi case? Perhaps a few. favored uncs, mny encounter nodlliiculty, l>ut theina-1 iorlty nre compelled from strni ened elrcurn-j dances to postpone the "Inevitable" matter until fall and pay the five per rent, penalty.' j In view of all these facts, I would again ask; the agricultural fraternity, arc you williug, prepared, ready and waiting for the opjportu-' ulty to assume an additional burden of taxa-j; Lion to trade a fai!road through the rugged, niomitnitiouK country, that will necessarily Involve an Incalculable amountof money, I1 L-v?;n If there was a special need for such enterprise. I contend, we arc not undergoing 11 iny serious inconvenicuce for the waiit of j railroad facilities. They are near l?y and am- j F?ly sufficient for any and every cmergchtry; ]1 Competing liiib is urged it" a necessity to re-11 luee freight- turitr, to enjoy cheap rates ot;1 transportation, get guanos Si per ton less ami I to on. A debatable <|uery might be broached.1' Have not these ml I road conveniences been j I productive of mucli harm to the country ? 1, 2oUtd not reasonable arguments be adduced |1 lo support thcartirmatlve side? Time forbids j :odwell on this point. Suppose, we never have had an easy access , to a railroad, or take for instance, If Coiutn- ;' >la and Greenville Hailroad had never been j milt, perhaps to-day, wc would be better off.!, kVe would have depended more upon onrown 1. natural resources, made our own fertilizer:-. | x?rn, wheat, bii'-on. and molasses, llvcii at;1 tome and board at the same place, and paid' legs devotion to king cotton and enjoyed the,1 'good old times" our fathers had In haulingaj' cw bales cotton to Hamburg. My iriends, to j * mild n railroad Is not an every day Job and i' requiting but little cost. It Is a huge, stupenlous, undertaking. Involving an Immense nttlay of capital. If.von shoulder this five i>er cent, tax next Thursday at the ballot box j n tbe town of Due West. I predict, you will repent the day you voted the subscription 1 ilcket. The condition of the bond* are such ' is to make tliein avallatde interest bearing or fn 1 Id tor 100 years or more to come, it will 1 ikely be r debt that will descend upon our 1 posterity, chlldrens' children. You need nev- ] .? ov?wm?I ernt fit I ,?f If If will Ktipk 11 k (* fl ' eecli and draw the life Mood out of you forifears indefinitely. Besides the live per cent.! is not going to be a sufficiency, yon will ever; ] je annoyed with the Incessant cry a "little: [iiorc," or the work will tic suspended, and ; roil will lo>-e what you have donated. Sin-li repeated demands, my friends, would ever keep our purses depleted and eventually precipitate us into the vortex of irretrievable ruin. That terrible Incubus(niortcagc) would sootioror later hover over t lie horizon of our lerrcMrlal homes. Thehomi'st'iid provisions!, would not be available, could notairord any j relief. Beware o! such a tax. Say to those who Are desirous to build the road, appeal to their own Individual pockets for the necessary tunds, and not call upon the "tiller of the oil" for aid whf*n he thinks lie will not be l>cnelltted thereby, or in a condition that would be safe for hlrn to Invest. Railroads [ire not exempt entirely front evils of theday.1 'Fhcy are productive of much harm to the an-] ricultural world. They are instrumental in; enticing her laborers to forsake the plow and j build up hamlets and towns encaged in varl-, mis avocations ol life to eke out a pitabieex-l Istence, to avoid digging it out of the bowels] ol the earth. Too much of this for our conn-1 try's good. Too many towns springing up: like mushroom, and tilling up with stores of] various description to tempt the farmer to. squander Ills money, and in some Instances, the like has been kuown to prevail, to receive! a little of our cotton f- r convenience sake, at, unseasonable hours,when theklngof day ha?j terminated Ids daily journey across the ceru-; lean route and retired beneath the Western ' hills to perform ills routine of duty in other; climes. I tell yon, my friends, this coui-try ' needs to get rid ot so many stores and profes- I siotial characters. She wants more hands to' manipulate her agricultural Implements in1 order to increase her prosperity. 1 would embrace the whole secret in a nut shell. She j needs more producers and less consumers. I repeat, my friends, let the town or country capitalists, whoever they may be, that are so anxious for this road to be built, build It at] tlu*ir own cost and reap the fruits thereof and j if we farmers find it to be to our Interest toi patronize 11, we win noi iicsiimc m> hi u<>. i>i> not inflict upon us an Imposition thai wc ure| not willing to bear. What has been the past j history of railroads that have been bulli by! taxing Hie people? They sooner or later he-. eoine embarrassed, fall Into the hands of an | assignee or receiver, and, finally, put up to the highest bidder, und who is the purchaser ? j Some Northern nioniccl company buy them, comparatively, for a song. They are the fines . that reap the emoluments or .tivldends of our Investments In railroads and I say let them j build them at their own expense. . Unless we were able to grade and equip a : railroad,and you know we are too poor fori that, we had better never undertake It. The! advocates of this road tell you it will enhance j your property, your laud will command higu-: er figures. I doubt this assertion or argument.: I can buy land as cheap along lines of rail-, roadsaslcan ten miles distance from them, i And even if It did, would it. be to the Interest. | of non-laud owners, who will be required IO| pay this tax on their personal property, when : they are anxious to obtain a piece of land, I they can call their own, to make a living uu-| on. Let us examine a little closer this rail- I road scheme, which has proved, for the last two yeais a failure, In every sense of the' word. Much money has already been spent I in tills enterprise for naught And I expect| those who have taken stock and paid their; motu-y, which has gone to the four winds, if > tills tax is imposed upon the people, will get' full credit for what they gave, before any additional draw l>e required of them. Perhaps' this accounts for some of the zeal that Is man-! Ifested so ardently. If they have got them-j selves Into a "hobble" let them extricate; themselves not through the channel of thej poor farmer's pocket. What Is the Indebted- : ness of this road? I learu there is a bank | nnf of $1 (MM) or nmrr? t.lint. tipsirs 1 lit* siirmit urn > of an ex director, that will be required t<> lie pnlil next June. Perhaps, this, also, will account lor someof the zeal that Is displayed. What is President liagood's salary? S5.000 a year and owes him lor two years, which makes 810,000due him for his past services. What does the Treasurer expect lo get? &i,f.00 a year for the last two years, which mak<s S-I.OOOdue him. Mr.Schortelu ulso conies in for a share, he is to get. the handsome sum ol 85,000 salary and $16,000 for travelling expenses for three years. What did lie accomplish across the''briny deep?'' How much money did he bring buck to build a railroad? j If you have heard any donation from Europe 1 for to build the Cumberland Gap, 1 am not In possession of the fact. I understand there Is j judgment and cost of about gnawing at 'its vitals. Mr. Kirk also (the surveyor and engineer) Is to tall heir to a portion of the spoils. The construction company Is to have j a mortgage of Si^moa mile. The best thing' I could recommend for the existing company Is to take refuge. If allowable, under bank-j ruptcy. Perhaps many adherents of this conlorkitilrifoil rn'ut linvp sin hyp to trriml or smith'- t ing to some "soft" position to rest their carcasses In the shade. This perhaps is another incentive to account for the zeal manifested in its behalf. My friends, you who are desirous not to incur this everlasting load, railroad taxation, that will eventually be the means of oppressing you, and depriving you of the ownership of any permanent homes, turn loose your plow handles, and arni yoursell with that necessary material, the registration certificate, that gives you authority to exercise that preat privilege, the right of suffrage, and reCalr to the town of Due West and cast, your allot bearing upon its face, No Subscription.

There Is some talk among the students of trying to build a Christian Association hall. We think this is useless ns long as we can meet in our old place, the third story of the College, and more especially since the general Imprisslon is that a nice hall can be built for seven or eight hundred dollars.
