An Important Decision. At the recent session of the Circuit Court at Yorkville, Judge Mackey rendered an impor? tant decision relative to the competency of jurors who cannot read, in cases where an ex? amination of documentary evidence by the jury is required. Judge Mackey assigns excel? lent reasons for the decision, which will prove of great practical value in many instances. We copy the decision from the Yorkville En~ qnirer: In the trial of an issue of fact, involving the 1 examination of a written or printed instrument, it is good ground of challenge to a juror that he cannot read. The fact that a citizen duly drawn as a juror cannot read would not dis? qualify him to serve as such, but would go to impair his competency in the special case stated. A juror may be unable to read, and vet may be possessed of sound judgment and <)f great mental vigor. The only mental qual? ification prescribed by statute for jurors is that they shall be "persons of sound judgment." But if the judgment is to be exercised in the examination of a written instrument, the only avenue through which it can be certainly in? formed is closed to him who cannot read its ?contents. Thus the case presented for the con? sideration of-the jury may arise under an in ?dictment for forgery, and the defense may be that the party whose name is alleged to have been' forged to the note or draft in question ^authorized the accused to sign his name there? to, and the accused may thereupon present in Evidence the written authority, alleged to have been executed by the person whose signature he is charged with Having forged, and may adduce letters admitted to be in the own proper -handwriting of such person, in proof of the authenticity oif the alleged authority to sign. Clearly, in this case, the verdict would turn upon the identity of the writer of the letters and the writer of the alleged authority to sign, and also upon the further question, whether the terms of the latter did convey the power to sign. The jury, in such case, must rest their judgments upon the writing themselves, the authority to sign being denied. ? This class of evidence will be to a juror who cannot read as if it did not exist. So in a case of libel, where the jury are the judges of the law as well as the facts; the offense consists in the writing and publishing of false, scandalous and mali? cious statements, &c. The alleged libel must be set out in its full tenor and terms. If the juror caunot read, and if he is to repose his judgment upon the alleged publication as read in court, it follows that his verdict must rest upon- the credeuce that he gives to him who reads, and not upon the writing itself. Why, therefore, does the law require that the libelous writing itself shall be produced before the jury, and that they shall judge of the facts, and whether, as proved, they constitute a libel un? der the law ? 'If will be admitted that total deafness would be good ground of challenge in a case where the testimony is oral; and yet written testimo? ny is to the man who cannot read what oral testimony is to the man who cannot hear. In the case before the court, therefore, involv? ing the examination of written instruments in evidence, the jurors who cannot read will be excused.* Under the above" ruling other juries than the original panel were drawn ; and it is but prop? er to say that during the present week of the term the juries who served are more competent than any known in this couuty since recon? struction.

The approach of the Presidential election gives unusual importance to the events and developments of 1875. We 8baH endeavor todescribe them fuilv, faithfully and fear? lessly. THE WEEKLY SUN has now attained a circulation of over seventy thousand copies. Its readers are found in every State and Territory, and its quality is well known to the public. We shall not only endeavor to keep it up to the old standard, but to improve and add to its variety j ?and power. THE WEEKLY SUN* will continue to lie a tboro?gh newspaper. All the news of the day will be found in it, ?condensed when unimportant, at full length when of mo? ment, and always, we trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instructive manner. It is our aim to make the WEEKLY SUN the In-st family newspaper in the world. It will be full of enter? taining and appropriate reading of every sort, but will print nothing to offend the most scrupulous and delicate taste. It will always contain the most interesting stories i and romances of the day, carefully selected and legibly printed. The Agricultural Department is a prominent feature in the \\ I.EKLY SUN, and its articles will always be found ?fresh and useful to the farmer. The number of men independent in polities is increas? ing and the WEEKLY .SUN is their paper especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no dictation, contending for principle, and for the election of the best men. It exposes the corruption that disgraces the country and threatens the overthrow of republican institutions, 'it has no fear of knaves, and seek* no favors from their supitorters The markets of every kind and fashions aru regularly reported. The price of the WEEKLY SUN is one dollar a year for a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six columns. As this barely pays the expenses of paper and printing, we are not able to make any discount or allow any premium to friends 1 who may make special efforts to extend its circulation. Under the new law, which requires payment of postage in advance, one dollar a year, with twenty cents the cost of prepaid postage added, is the rate of subscription. It is not necessary to get up a club in order to have the WEEK? LY SUN at this rate. Anyone who sends one dollar and twenty cents will get the |wp<T, postpaid for a year. \ We have no traveling agents. I THE WEEKLY 8CN.?Eight pages, fifty-six columns.
