A Juror Cheftenged Because a Confederate. The animus of this Corhin prosecutoiu of his ] political opponents in the Kllenton riots, was 1 manifested yesterday in his challenging Major 1 Hutson Lee as a juryman, on the ground that s he was in the Confederate army. We have seen t differeut crurts of the United States, sitting in i the South, and have noted the organisation of f the juries, but we have not observed the clial- s lcuge of juryuicn on such a pretext before.? i There are so.ue men with whom the war will ? never be over?to whom peace would be a ntitf- 1 fortune. ^Utc warfare of peace, co-called,carried i on through the halls of legislation and the courts ti of law, backed by officers and soldiers, is their c hearts desire?a warfare still rife and attractive. \ Spoils and houors are sought with less risk and u more comfort to such warriors against a defeated s and down-trodden peoplo. The rooted sentiment n of their aspiring souls is ess vietul c It seems that while the war was going on, Juno <J 17, 1802, an act was passed in Washington inak- i ing it a cause of disqualification and challenge n in tlie courts of the United States for grand and li petit jurors to have adhered to the Confederate A cause, or have given aid and comfort, directly t or indirectly, to any engaged in it. And this ti act, adopted during active hostilities, is now ti trumped up to preclude men of the South from h Serving on juries in a United States Court twelve ti years after the cessation of the war, when every- d body has been accorded amnesty and disabilities n have otherwise been all removed. As a matter p of curiosity as well as profound indignation, we r produce from the Revised Statutes the passage a on which Major Leo was yes-terday deemed dis- r <juulitied to serve : ^ "Sec. 820. The following shall be causes of t< disqualification anil challenge of grand and petit a jurors in the courts of the United States: With- C out duress or coercion to have taken up arms or n to have joined in nay insurrection or rebellion, h giving it aid and comfort; to have given, directly t< or indirectly, any assistance in money, artus, r . cltHhes, or anything whatever, to or for the use or benefit of any person whom the givor of such assistance knew to have joined, or to be about c to join, any insurrection or rebellion, or to have ' resisted, or to be about to resist, with force of ti ^iirniii, the execution of t 10 laws of the United a ^AfStatcs ; or to have counseled or advised any per- c resist with force of arms the laws of the United o States." J "Sec. 821. At every term of any Court of si the United States, the District Attorney, or otii- n er person acting on behalf of ihc United States b in said Court, in their discretion, niny require a the Clerk to tender to every person summoned vir to serve as a petit juror, or venireman or tales- a man in said Court, the following oath orattirma? tion, etc.: That you have not, without duress *^hud constraint taken up arms, etc."?Journal of T Commerce. h Why Farmino Doks Not Pay.?The reason sj why so many mcu fail to make farming a sue- c, cess is simply because they fail to make it a ^ business. They at once couolude that farming S| doesn't pay, aud then go to work in such a way C1 as to utterly exclude the possibility of its ever paying. As a rule, the successful merchant fol- Cl lows no other pursuit but that of his trade.? ,, The lawyer or physician who attains to eminence s) in his profession devotes his time, energies and talent to that profession. Not only does this theory hold true of all other branches of business, but it holdfc'true of farming. The success- j, fill farmer docs nothing for a livelihood but ni farm. If lie has money to invest ho should in- n] vest it to improve his farm. He should inform c. himself as to his business, and go to work in an j, intelligent manner. Upon such farms weeds do j, not stand ns high as a man's head; nor arc fen- u ccs neglected, .utildingsdiln| ulatcd, tunning nil- ,| plcmciits left exposed to the weather, and stock ,t unsheltered and tiucarcd for, hut everything de- p notes thrift and enterprise. It is l-enlly painful l( we go around the couutry and observe the al number of nrglcctc 1 farms. Pigs, geeso and C( cattle arc allowed almost unlimited range.? 0, W eeds render the door yard, the orchard and meadows unsightly. The good wife, in addition to her household cares, must milk the cows, feed the pigs, and do the chores generally. Hut j,, *' where is the owner? Where and how does he spend his time? lie is across the way, hanging ct on his neighbor's fence, talking politics; or is p in the nearest store or blacksmith shop talking )v gossip. Perhaps he is inspired with a desire to w make some money and is out huckstering, or, j, what is less laudable, selling a patent right that l(: may he useful or not, just, as it happens; hut ,j while lie is earning a few dollars away from w home, many dollars arc being lost at home, he- ?| cause it is time to do spring planting, summer ,i harvesting, or fall souing. Thus the years arc passed, and sympathizing ones remark, "lie is a clever man, but somehow don't get along in _ the world;" and all because lie owns a farm, v 1i?iq n ItiiGiiiuuo n ml vol fatl?i In nllnriil ta i( ?* ....? .. ...... ..... ........... .. ... u Cincinnati Orange Bulletin. ,, ?: . i, A llomk l'ai'kit.?All exchange says, we like <. to see a man refuse to take his iocal paper, and 0 nil I lie time sponge on his neighbor (lie reading u of it.

Clu: in lias presented n claim against Cominodor ^underbill's estate for an indefinite nuioual itntcd at over $100,"00, or $70,000 and com lound interest. A paper was served on Mr. \\ I Vandcrltill on Saturday before hisdepartur or Europe by Miss Clatlin's attorney, wlticl tales tliat in the fall of 1871 she called ou Coin uodore Vauderbilt and gave him $10,000 t iperate with in New York Cent rat ami llndsoi liver stocks, and that in 1873 the Cominodor nforined her that the original sum and itsaccu aulatious amounted to$70,'K)0. In the autumi if 1874 Miss Clatlin says, in company with Mrs Voodhull, she called upon the Commodore, am Jso at other times, for the purpose of gcttiuj ome of the money. Ho refused to give then uy, saying that they were in such circumstan es that he did not believe they would use it ju liciously. Having full confidence in his goot mentions Mid in liis superior wisdom nndjudg iieot, they allowed him to retain it. Miss <'la f in, in reply to an interviewer, said: "Mr <fnnderbilt will have to pay eventually. I havi oo much proof. I have over one hundred wit icsscs. Why Commodore Vauderbilt liiiusel estiticd before Judge MeAdam iu 1874 that hi ad then an oj en account with us. If I was t< ell you all I know it would be worse a grea cal than the licechcr case." "It would muki splendid seusational article for the news pa crs," said Mrs. Woodhull, "if wegaveyouthi ensons why Commodore Vanderbill took sucl a interest in a paper that expressed the mos adical of radical views, but our lips are sealed.' Ir. Vandcrbilt, on being questioned iu regard j the suit on board the Britannia ou Saturday flernoon, said, "Oh, that is ridiculous. Mis: 'latliu has made some preposterous claim of tin aturc you mention, but I am not aware that sh< as taken it into Court, llerclaim don't nmoun j anything.
