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

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

and oppression, andl carried out wi b
Shellish malignity by the l aid tools of;

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.
