tfyf JnJfUigencer. The ^Jury ?System." At a recent trial in Massachusetts of Mr. Samuel Bowles, for damaging the character of Mr. Willis Phclps in "The Springfield Republican" to an amount represented by a large expression in American currency, the litigants agreed to dispense with the jury altogether, as, by a law of the State, they had the priv? ilege of doing. It was an exceedingly sensible proceeding, and ought to have attracted more atteution than it did at? tract, and a wider following than it has yet.secured. For, of all the hallucina? tions which, from generation to genera? tion, possess and pervert the minds of men,, that .which attaches a sort of sacred nees to a jury trial, and holds the "jury system" as half divine, is the most fa t?itous. To be tried by one's "peers," those "peers" reaching the exact number of twelve, is regarded, by a very large number of the community, as a privilege to be surrendered under no circumstan? ces?a privilege to be defended at any cost of blood and treasure. The word "peer," as it is used here, is a cheat. All that it means is that the juror has the same political power and privileges as the man whom be helps to try, yet the women of America have never been tried by their peers. "In? fants" are never tried by their peers. Those who were formerly slaves were never tired by their peers. If we go beyond this, and attach any intellectual or "moral significance to the word "peer," we shall find that a man is almost never tried by bis peers. But to come down upon the solid fact, let us confess that the ordinary jury is utterly incompetent to perform the du? ties of its ofhce. Men who are taken from thfe different walks of life, men whose minds run in the narrow channels of specialized industries, are brought in? to a court-room under circumstances ut? terly strange to them, without practice in sifting evidence, easily imposed upon by the plausibilities of couusel, easily ac? ted upon through their sympathies, easi? ly impressible by eloquence, and are ex? pected the first time, and every time, to render justice. The thing is absurd on the face of it; and so notorious now is the uncertainty of ajury trial, that men regard a verdict very much as they do the draw? ing of a lottery. A verdict is a matter of jury and not of justice at all. So well understood is the fact, on the part of cor? porations, that, before a jury, they stand no chance in any case against an individ? ual, that many of them have ceased to expect justice from a jury, and, so, are constantly compromising puits in which they know their opponents have no ease. The average juror makes common cause with any individual against a corporation as the corporation has found to its cost. As men average, there is one man in twelve,at least, of exceptional mind and characteristics. There was a devil among the twelve Apostles, and in uear ly every jury there is a "crooked stick." He may be without common honesty; he may be without common sense. He may be a man who has a genius of differing with everybody on every possible subject. Oue man in twelve, at least, has some kind of eccentricity, and as he has no special education to help him, his opin? ion on any subject is without the slightest value. Now, this twelfth man is the man on whom hangs the fate of all who trust themselves to a jury trial. He can hin? der justice, and he usually does it. The good seuse of eleven men may have de? cided a given case in a giveu way, but the bachsense or the bad disposition, of the twelfth man, is enoffgh to thwart their will, and make all the labor bestowed upon the case of no avail. We decide all other questions by a majority vote but this. Here alone we require unami ty, and no chance whatever is afforded to realize the results of preponderating opinion. If ajury trial could be decided by a majority, even if it should be five sixths, or eleven-twelfths, justice would have a better chance. As it is, we have always to count in the chance of getting the crooked stick, the dishonest man, the corruptible man, and to admit his power to spoil any verdict that eleven men may free? ly decide upon. The law does its best to make every juror incompeteut by insisting that he shall be so little intelligent in cur? rent affairs as to have no opinion concern? ing them, as they may relate to cases in hand. But there is something further than this to be said against juries. The fact that their service is compulsory is an out? rage upon the rights of the citizen.? There is no other civil or judicial service into which men are compelled but this. In time of war, the State can compel the service of her sons for her defense, if they do not volunteer; but a state of war is altogether an exceptional condition. In a condition of peace, any compulsory ser? vice in the making or administration of law is essentially a hardship and an out? rage. To be forced to compel this service is to acknowledge slavery to precedent, and confess to scantiness of resources.? To force men unpaid, or only inadequate? ly paid, into the service of the courts, to drag them away from their business or their families, imprison them under the charge of officers, and annoy them for days, weeks, or mouths, as the case may be, with the details of affairs in which they have no interest whatever, is oppres? sion, against which our people would have kicked long ago, but for this hallu? cination about the sacredness of the jury trial- People do not see how we can get along without it. Well, Mr. Bowles and Mr. Willis got along without it. We should very much prefer to leave a ease of ours with three men trained in the law, or to one man accustomed to comparing and measuring evidence, than to twelve mcu selected by lot from the realm of acknowledged in? experience and incompetency. After one has picked out the three best men on a jury, he has a better jury in the three than in the nine which are left. A sum is uot increased by piling ciphers upon it. The simple truth is that the jury sys? tem is outlived and ought to be outlawed. It does not help the cause of law and justice, and ought to be kicked out of the way. It is oppressvc to the juror, it is anomalous in our system of government, it makes the uncertainty of the law still more uncertain, it is expensive, and it is utterly unnecessary. There is nothing sacred about it. To be tried by a man's peers is not half so good a thing as to be tried by a man's intellectual and moral superiors. Why will not the political press, which has such large influence in legislation, take up this wretched old humbug, and help to dispose of it forever? If we can? not get rid of it at once, let us reform it, by reducing its numbers, calling for high? er qualifications in its constituents, and taking our verdicts from the majority.? Let us at least provide all possible ways, everywhere, for getting along without it.? Or. G. Holland, in, Scribncr for Jfrptonbcr. ? A Mississippi .lodge couldn't con? vince a lawyer that a certain decision was constitutional until after he bad knocked him down. r- What Not to Do.?A fanner should not be so land-grasping as to imperil the title of what he now owns, in the attempt to possess all that joins him. lie should not attempt to cultivate more than he can attend to thoroughly, uor keep more stock than he can feed well. He should not put off the purchase of an implement he needs until the work is most done that requires it. He should not let his stock run down in winter so low that it takes all summer for them to recruit. He should not go to sleep at night un? til his plan for the morrow's work is thoroughly matured, and his help ac? quainted with their morning duties. He should not allow his help to at? tempt a job until he has made plain to them the details of their work. He should not require too many hours' labor from his men, and should give them some privileges, and take an interest in their welfare and prospects. He should never give way to passion? ate language when errors are committed. Vile words never repair a fault and do not lessen the chances of its repetition. Finally, the farmer who makes a mild decision the rule of his house, who plans his business properly, has personal care of his work, is satisfied with small, sure gains, will pass through life serenely and leave a fair legacy to his children, of worldly goods, and better still an unsul? lied reputation. ? The Baltimore Gazette says: "A child beginning to read becomes delight? ed with a newspaper, because he reads of names and things which are familiar and he will progress accordingly. A news? paper in one year is worth a quarter's schooling to a child. Every father must consider that information is connected with advancement. The mother of a family being one of its heads, and hav? ing a more immediate charge of children should herself be instructed. A mind occupied becomes fortified against the ills of life, and is braced for emergencies. Children amused by reading or study are oftentimes more considerate and more ea? sily governed." ? A youngster being required to write a composition upon some portion of the human body selected that which unites the head to the body and expounded as follows: "A throat is convenient to have especially to roosters and ministers. The former eats corn and crows with it; the latter preaches through his'n and then ties it up. This is pretty much all I can think of about necks." ? "What is your verdict, gentlemen of the jury?" asked a Montgomery justice, as the jury enterred. "Well, boss," said the intelligent foreman squirting a stream of tobacco over the clerk's head, "the de? fendant looked sorter o' guilty, and so we've found him guilty."
