The sytem of trial by jnry, origi nally designed to subserve a godd - end, has, we think failed to nceoin plish the object had in view by the~b I who conceived it.. As a means of vindicating the law, and of biaing t criminals to punishment, its eflierrey has long sibvebeoen deetroyed, and it is no longer a provision calculated to ,meot the demandsof justice. Amilst the general corruption of the tiine, it hrs nt been spared, bnt h::.a been p'r verted-. Its purity of purpae I .s fallou a sacrilice tj th-2 so-C..lled progress of the age, and like the bal. lot-box, original corner.po'.ts of free Y institutions, it is no,v recogliz*-d 1s an instrument tlnt may be us:d tas 4 offeotually by bad men, as by those who revere it as a safeguard of libier. ty. Now'a-days trial by jury, in most cases, aLounits to little luore than a farce. A panel of jurors it drawn solo-ly in the interest of the prisoner on triah and muinly to de feat the ends of justice. Generally. f too, it is a testimniial to a juror's in tegrity and intelligence to have the prisoner say, at the instauce of his counsel, "I object," und a miserable specimen of iunanity taken in his stead. This incident is of com mmon oourrence in these times, alue ! too common for the full vindication uf the law. It is a disgrace to uodeu civil. t i2ation, and a stain upon free gove-n. mient. We will not uindertako to say t nho is respeonsile for IiOi coadition of thtingts. The fault lies nearer howe than mobt people tre wont to believe, but the consciences of theo guilty ones no doubt often bring before theIr eyes the wrongs inflicted upon aonunitle, by their connivance at the escape of criminals from the clutches of the hw. This criticism bas been forced into pibyevents that transpired dur. ing the recent sesisione of the Court of General Sessionis. The pulie will readily understand to what we allude. We believe honestly that erinminals hatve escaped the halter who richly deserved it, and we believ'o further more that a large miujrilty of the community agree fully w ith us. O~h er things we could say, but for tle present we forbeari further commeent. A Hligh-Hande I Outrage. The present condition of a ffairs in L Iouisiana, growing out, of the late t State and Nat ionm.Iloetetns, exhiibits a spectae at whic~h every freemenm ,should shuddor, and which should cause the heart of every son of' liberty Ito burn with indignation. That, the . Federal administration should thus .interfere to set rside the expressedl irj wll of the people, and prop up byit .Ibayonets a batst.ard government, comno a posed of nongrels and ecarpet-.baggers, e is mnstronus in thle extreme, nnd such j conduct should receive outr poken (Ie , uia t ion fromi tver'y fou rless patriot. .IThere ist nothing to ja 'tify it, and no e provision of the cons~itution to war.* rant it. It is simply a revolutionaury act, conceived in a spirit of deg1 o i*. and oppression, andl carried out wi b Shellish malignity by the l aid tools of; i tyrant. llow the honee4 y~'emanry of Louisiana can sub m:t. to seuch a high fainded out rage is more than we can underestand, and is certainly an instance of patient endurance ith tlout a parallol in mod ern t imes. It only surprises us that they do not rise in their might, and visit swift justice upon those who so wantonly trample upon their rights. We bielieve the whole oivilized world would a ppland and sanction such a course, and wvould show to the Grcant dynas.ty, in ten un. mnistakeable way, its hearty condemina tion of the treatment received by the! South. The above remairks may smack. some what of disloyalty, but we pur-' pose always calling things by their right names, and we think th'e subject is well onlowlated to arouse all inan hood and feeling in every lover of free goverp1menti. We even feel that we have not given it that degree of consideation it. deserves.
