Tho raine <jf the wholesale oyster trado of New York city is estimated at not lesa than $40,000,000 annually. The yield of chestnuts, walnuts and butterauts in Vermont this season will be larger than any pre ' ceding season for many years. Our Consul at Palermo reports that the cholera cases ic that city average 250 to 300 daily, and scarcely one-third recover. Tba Washington Chronicle says that Mr. STAN 10V will be back in Iras pla.*c< aa Secretary of War in less than eighty Jays. Tho State of Iowa bas now 1145 miles of railroad complete and in running order, which have cost in construction the sum of $45,480,000. Major-General GBIERSON, the famous cavalry raider, is now in command of an army of one hun? dred colored cavalry soldiers at Fort Riley. Grasshopper depredations axe continued in Col? orado. Wheat and corn are consumed in immense quantities on the Boulder, and on Clear creek. One farmer loses about 115,000 in wheat and oats. For tho week anding the 10th inst., two hundred and fifty patenta will be issued from the. patent omce. Daring the past week five hundred applica? tions and eighty caveats were filed. Flaxseed has prove.! a profitable crop this year in many parts of Ohio, the yield having IK?? un osnaDy large, and the price ($2 per bushel) satis? factory to farmers. The Germana of Nashville are about organizing an immigration society on a grand scale, and ex? pect to induce thousands of their countrymen to settle in Tennessee. The Prince and Princess of Wales are on a visit to Germany. The Duke of Edinburgh is in Bra? zil, and Prince GEORGE of Greece is visiting England. Portions of neargo of logwood were found in Portland, Me., a few days ago, which were lost overboard forty years sir.ee. The logs were in a perfect state of preservation. The first temperance organization was formed in 1517 in England. It only prohibited its mem? bers from getting drunk. No member was allowed to drink; more than fourteen glasses a day. The next organization was in the year 1600, and only allowed its members to get drunk on public days. One of the novelties in the Paris exhibition is a praying machine, exhibited by the Buddhists, It consists of a little square box, with a handle at the right aide. When yon wish to say a prayer, a torn of the handle will do it as easily sa if it were a tune OL a barrel organ. The Buddhist machine has this advantage over s Barbary organ, that it i noiseless. Its inventors guarantee it to say hundred and twenty prayers a day; and it will never get out of order. ? peat bog near New Bedford has yielded this season four hundred cords of peat, A cord, well dried,'will weigh a ton and a half, and it is chimed to be equal to the t arno weight of coal for general purposes, and superior for ironmanrtfaoturing and generating steam.' It can be barned in any kind of Ste place or stove, with or without grates. As far as tho bog bas been examined, the depth of peat is from fivo and a half to nine feet, and will probably average eight feet. ' It bas come to the notice of the military authori? ties ?bat the bones of the Union soldiers who fell, on the fields of Bull Bon, have, in some instances, been gathered by the 'residents in that vicinity, and, with the bones of animals, carried to a bone mill near Alexardria and ground into fertilizers. From a w/.gon load of this character, last week, a human, skull, a hip bone, part of the vertebral col? umn, the femur, and part of the tibia were taken. The matter is being investigated. A variety of specimens of North Carolina gold nave been taken from some of the small streams of Montgomery County in that State. Tho ore is very fine, and borne of the lumps are quite large. Ona af them, the largest, weighed by the jewelers scales thirty-eight penny weights, whieb, is only two penny weights short of two ounces. The spenmons were in their natural condition, just as they were when taken from the streams In which they were lound. The Emperor Fa utera JOSEPH, in presenting | Prince METTERNICH, the Austrian Minister, at the Court or the Tuileries, with the Order of the Golden Fleece, eulogized, in the presence of the whole Court, the services he bad rendered the State by his re-establishment af a food under? standing with France. The Emperor NAPOLEON expressed aloud to tho Emperor FBANCTS JOSEPH bis thanks for this declaration. This incident created a groat sensation among those present To support Ecgliah paupers, daring the first six months of 1817, the English Poor Law Board expended no less thia 112,299,590 in gold, sn in? crease of nearly eleven per cent, over the expendi? tures of the corresponding period of 1866. In Loado J, however, the increase was nearly thirty ver cent. On the last day of JOBS, 1867, there were 584,829 paupers receiving relief in England, an increase of mc re than five per cent, over the number receiving relief on the corresponding day of 1866,118,989 oir these paupers were in London. Tho billa of th? Holiday street theatre promise variety at least, for tba balance of th? current ?eek. To-night tba exciting drama of "The Streets of New York will be performed, the cast of j character-, including Miss Ems GSBXON, Mrs. GERMON, Mr. BISHOP, Mr. VANDENHOVP, Mr. YOUNO E and Mr. PARTES. The play abounds in interest? ing pictures and orating life scenes. To-morrow evening Mies ALICE GSAT will appear in Rosedale, and on Friday night the comedy of Caste will be reproduced, for the last time, f?r the benefit of j Miss ATJEXANPEB. The king of Denmark has given Iceland a Con? stitution, which is about to bo submitted to the representative l>ody of that island (the Altthing) for ita approval. The new Constitution gives to the Ice? landers the same Uberties sa were granted to the Panes by the Constitution of the 5th of Jane, 1849, and all future Danish monarchs are to swear to preserve tho Ice landic Constitution inviolable be? fore they are crowned. The Constitution also pro? vides that although Iceland is declared an insepa? rable part of tho D&nish monarchy, it ia to main? tain ita own laws and administration in local mut? ters. The San Antonio (Texas) Express, of August 17, says : "The Indians have, penetrated id the very outskirts of our city, and it is not extrava? gant to expect they' will act over again the scenes of 1851. The prediction that the Indians of the Northwest ware moving South seems to be true. Such Indians, and similarly accoutred, have never appeared before on oar frontier. A large camp has been discovered on the head of the Guadalupe river. Small parties of soldiers have been chased into tie forts. The country bas been stripped of all the Uve stock, and the prospect of | a complete devastation of the frontier is immi? nent" C. M. MEDANICH , alias Joss BON Arno, a young Spaniard, who has been sought after by Mexican detectives, now in the city of New York, on sus? picion of having appropriated 1200,000 in gold, be? longing to the Mexican government, was arrested in that city on Monday. Sixty thousand dollars in gold Lars waa found in his possession, and it is alleged by the detectives that the .rest of the money is in the possession of his accomplices, some of whom are on their way to New York, and another, a woman, is ou her way to Europe. It is also said that the bera are copper, covered with a thin coating of gold, to deoeive the unwary. Five Spaniards had previously been arrested on the same charge. Since the trial of SUBBATT, bis quarters in the jail have been moved, and he now has one of tho rooms of ?he second story, fronting South, wi ich he occupies in common with HENEY JOHNSON, who is charged with the killing of THOMAS SVOOT, and be has of late much improved in health. JOHNSON has also gained in flesh considerably, and the two being together the confinement passe i away more pleasantly than it would do otherwise. They are weil fixed in this room, each having a cot on which they sleep, some books and papers, and when not reading conversation is engaged in. 8USE;/rr alindes hut seldom to the charge against him,'.vat speaks of general topics. He seems to think much of kia Zouave uniform, and wears it nearly all the time. The South landon Press saya : ?Some months ago we announced that a mite of a Methodist preacher, only one inch tidier than Ton THUMB was causing a great sensation in the country, and that he would soon appear in London. We had a visit from this U ttle man the other day, when he was profuse in his thanks for the notice taken of him, and assured ns he was 'going about doing good r He creates, be says, 'as mach excitement wherever he goes as does Mr. 'SPUBOSOH,' and frequently preaches to four thousand persons at a tune. He meditate* a raid opon the sinners and sham Christiana of Undoo, so that the lovers of religious excitement have another treat in store for them. The tittle preacher rejoices in the name CURRENT TOPICS. THE FOLLOWING srnuor of a lottor from Mrs. -UHLBACH to her publishers in thia country, will ?e read with great interest by tho numerous ad afirers of her historic^ novels: "Never, in my whole life, nave I bad so groat and so agreeable a surprise aa you have givon mo; and I cannot find words to tell yon how deeply I am mover! and gratified by your elevated and.ifcbblo sentiments. I am very vf ell aware that thore are no laws to pre? vent the reprinting the works of German authors tn America, or to secure to the author any ronau neration whatever on translations which uia.vBo issued. Years ago, when tho reprint of German works, as well as translations of them, commenced in your country, I endeavored to influence tho publishora of these works to pay sotnu kind of copyright, but they always replied that i had no right to ask any such thing. At last they sent me a journal edited by a (ierman, in which two of mr novels wore at the aame time printed in the Gorman language. 1 then wroje to my country? man, inquiring what profit 1 might expect to re? ceive from this reprint oi my novols. lu reply, he said: 'You havo t!io honor of being a favor? ite author, and there is no form in which they do not raul your books.' I acknowledged thia to be indeed a great honor, and re? turned with thanks the very liberal kindness. Since that timo I have never attempted to make any protest against a reprint or translation of my works. Now, it rejoices andmoves me deeply, that you, gentlemen, unasked, pressod by no ono, ac? tuated solely by your honorable feelings, send me of your own free will a very flavoring recompense in the sum of one thousand thalers. Such acts are an evidence of high character and feeling, and will tend to hoal a heart embittered very "much bv the deceptions of tho world. Thornbro 1 thank you for your pi went of one thousand tim? ers. I thank you for tho moral satisfaction and the ?oyful fee.":ngs insrL. nd by your gift. Such an unexpected addition of a tliousand thnlers is, for a German au?ior, a very wolcomo thiug, particular? ly as I havo a very largo family. My literary la? bors have always been well remunerated, but it is for a widow (which 1 am sorry to say I haye been /or B?X years) a difficult thing to cafe for all, lo be father, and mother, and relativo, and satisfy, at the same time, all tho demands of society upon one in my position in the world. Lut I have al? ways been cheerful and full of hope, for I havo confided in God, and have, hoped that my dear late husband, with whom I lived twenty years happily-tho dear father of my daughters-prayed and watched over us in Heavou. As, therefore, your letter containing the bili of exchaugo arriv? ed, my eyes, filled with tears, woro raised to Hea? ven, and wept. Excuse mo. gentlemen, if 1 speak to you os friends of many years' standing of the authoress. LOUISA MUllLBACH." j THE LONDON STAB says : "At tho present timo the dearth of employment among the lotter-pross printers of tho metropolis ia quite unprecedented, and the consequent misery tailed upon a large and generally deserving body threatens to become very serions, lt is computed that thore aro about five thousand men employed in the typographical branch of tho printing business in London, of whom at least one-fourth aie now, and have been for the last two months, almost wholly unemploy? ed, while another fourth are only working about half time. The London Society of Compositors, unlike most other trade unions, make no provi? sion for their unemployed and sick members, but there is a 'provident fond' connooted with the society, to which some of tho members con? tributo, and which ia administered by officials connected with the society. Out of this fond a small allowance is made weekly for a limited period to members of the society, who contsibuto ono penny per week over and above tho sum de? manded by tho society aa membership money. It is to be regretted that the number who mako this slight provision should be comparatively small, the consequence being that tho groat bulk of those now unemployed are totally destitute. "The scenes witnessed daily at the society's rooms in Baquet-court, Fleet street-where, by the way, there is an excellent library, reading room, smoking room, ic., lor the use of tho members ere very distressing. Men wretchedly clad, wit hanger depicted in their countenances, wait about from morning till night in tho hope of getting em? ployment, it being customary for the master print? ers to send to the society hon?o when they require hands, and it often happens that at the end of the day not more than one or two ont of two or throe hundred obtain even temporary employment. The worst of the matter is that this ?tate of things sooms likely to continue for some time to como, if it should not actually become worse." MB. THEODORE MARTIN, in his memoir of Profes? sor ArrouN, relates a trick played upon THACK? ERAY by Mr. PETER FBAZER, of Edinburgh : " PE? TER was a facetious spirit of great local reputo, well-known, too, to a large circle of friends in London, and to one of his humorous feats I was witness. THACKERAY, during his Georgian ora in Edinburgh, waa Mr. BLACKWOOD'S guest, and one evening, when tho ladies had left us over our claret, a ring was heard, followed by a contro? versy at the street door between the visitor and the butler, who presently carno in and announced that the Provost of Peterhead wished-to see Mr. THACKERAY. The novelist, haviug already under? gone considerable persecution ai tho hands of his Scottish admirers, broke out upon this into ex? asperation, and desired the butler to say that he was engaged, and could not, in fact, would not see the gentleman. The applicant, however, par S'Sted, positively refusing to depart without an in? terview ; and THACKERAY, feeing at last induced to go into the hall, was immediately heard in indig? nant remonstrance. 1 Sir,' ho said in loud tones, ' I will not be pei scented in this way. lou havo uo right to annoy rae; and then was heard a MajWMsj clattering of umbrella-atauds and barometers which brought the indies in alarm from the drawing-room, their frightened faces ap? pearing over the bannisters, and drew boat and guests from their ffiuo ; whou in this persevering Provost, then engaged in a mock combat with the illustrious object of his search, we recog? nised the mad wag PETER, with whom, at the ter? mination of tho conflict, wo returned in triumph to the claret." PAPEB DID NOT como in till the thirteenth cen? tury. The first machine tor tho production of paper was constructed in 1290 at Ravensburg, and paper was first manufactured in Italy in 1330, in France in 1360, in Switzerland in 1170, iu England in 1588, ?n Holland in 1685, in Russia in 1712, and in Pennsylvania in 1725. The number of papor inills low existing in tho principal States of Eu? rope U as follow.i: Great ^ Britain, 408; Franco, 276; Germany, 243; Austria, 68; Kussia, 40; Italy, SO; Belgium, 26; Spain, 17; Switzerland, 13; Swo den, 8; Tukey, 1. In tho United States of America there are 520 paper mills. Tho annual production cf paper in Europe is 8,056,000 cwt., valued at ?15,000,000. The improved paper mills now in ase are capable of producing 125 pounds of paper in an hour, and a paper mill working continuously for a whole year, would manufacture 52,560,000 sheets, which, if laid side by side, would extend to a length equal to that of the diameter of the earth. M. G COARD rx, rs THE Paris Liberte, aums up the results of six years: "From August 18,1861, to August 18,1667, exactly six yoara have olapaod. These six years mark a period in tho 'History of the Restoration of the French Empire'- which is conspicuous by these events : First, the exci? tion to Mexico, tho occupation of that country, and the five yean' war, wound np by thc insanity of the Empress CnxBixyrTE and th . Stooling of MAXIMTUAN at Queretaro. Secondly, diplomatic intervention of France in 1863, bctweon Polnnd and Russia, wound up by Poland lobing lier nd ministralive autonomy, and her quartering, utter much bloodshed and incalculable ruin. Thirdly, the unification of Germany, engendered by tho unification of Haly. 'What France lins lost during those six years I seo plainly enough. But what has she gaiued ?" FBOX THE BOSTON Po?t, we clip tho following: "The Independent says "perhaps Mr. JOHNSON may have beon permitted by Providence to exist, that it might be seon that even a drunken tador at the helm coald not wreck tho ship of State ; aud per? haps, too, to show that a bad President can bo re? moved with no more disturbance to the nation than tho dismissal of an awkward footman to a well regulated family." Perhaps Mr. THEODORE ITLTON may have been pormittcd by Providence to exist, that it might be seen that even a mouthing hypocrite could not dc-filo religion, nor a publica! blackguard affect thc destinies of a nation." TUE AI_OZ_ETNE ZEITUNO publishes some curi? ous slatiatic8 respecting tho number of lawyers in rarious European countries. It says that in Eng? land there is one lawyer for every 1240 of the population ; in France, one for every 1970 ; in Bel? gium, one for every 2700 ; and in Prusssia ono for every 12,000 only. Another curions/act is that in England the number of persons belonging^ TOOII of the different professions is nearly tho same. Thus thore are 34,970 lawyers, 35,483 clergvmen, and 35,995 physicians. In Prussia, on thc 'other hand, there are 4809 physicians to only 1862 lawyers. LABOES?

JURY TRIALS. Dr. FRANCIS LIEFER has sent a memorial to the New York Constitutional Convention, now iu session ut Albany, on the question : "Should ?furies be Unanimous?" a question that has presented itself to every thinking minti, ever since tho first institution of this palladium of personal liberty. Dr. LIEBER, perhaps of all men on this continent, is the one most eminent? ly qualified to give an authoritative opinion on so importai)! and delicate a question- Dr. L. is the first publicist in the country, learned in the history of criminal jurisprudence, and has at all periods of his career endeavored to bring the results of his investigations to bear upon the practical questions of the day. That trial by jury has come more and more into disrepute, is a statement one does not like to put on paper, but it is nevertheless true ; and there are many reasons for it. From long custom it has ceased to be regarded as a priv? ilege. Jury duty, almost everywhere, is con? sidered onerous, and its performance is shun? ned by every possible subterfuge. The conse? quence is that the varden falls upon the few, who are either too conscientious or too ignorant to avail themselves,of the means by which the more intelligent and less scrupulous circum? vent the law and shirk their duty. And not only is the discharge of this duty confined to these two extremes of the members composing the body politic, but as another coincident re? sult, these same citizens are called upon for a discharge of this duty much more frequently than they should be, or would be, if the others did their duty. This has become so notorious everywhere almost, where tho institution is in use, certain? ly in England and America, that lawyers and others, competent to judge, have not hesitated to say that trial by jury baa proved a failure. Dr. LIEBER remarks: "Murmurs against the jury trial have occasionally been heard among the lawyers, and it is by no means certain that, without some change like that which I am going to propose, the trial by jury, one of the abutments on which the arch of civil liberty rests, can be prevented from giving way in course of time." Whether or not Dr. LIEBER'S suggestions are adequate to a full remedy of the evil abov noted, and many others we oould name in con? nection with jury trials, we are unable to say; but, at all events, these suggestions merit con? sideration, and we therefore bay them before our readers this morning: "NEW YORE, June 26, 1867.-Observing in the* papers that yon have proposed in the Convention to abolish cha unanimity of jurors as requisite for a verdict in civil cases, I beg leave to address to you a few r omar ka on a subject which has occupied my mind for many years, and which I consider of vital importance to our whole administration of justice. Long ago I gave (in my Civil Liberty and Self-Govornment) some of the reasons whloh in? duced me to disagree with these jurists and states? men who consider unanimity a necessary, and even a sacred element of our honored jury-triaL Further observation and? study have not only con? firmed me in my opinion, but have greatly strengthened my conviction that the unanimity principle ouch t to be given up, if the jury-trial is to romain in harmony with the altered circum? stances which result from the progress sud general change of things. Murmurs against the jury-trial have occasionally been beard among the lawyers, and it is by no means certain that, without' some chango Uko that which I am going to propose, the trial by jury, one of the abutments on whioh the arch of civil liberty rests, can be prevented from giving way in course of time. v "Tho present Constitution of our State permits litigants to wai ve the jury in civil oases, if they freely agreo to do so. This would indicate that tho adoption of verdie ta by a majority of the jurors, in civil cases, would not meet with insuperable dif? ficulty ; but it seems to mo oven more important and more consonant with sound reasoning to aban? don tho unanimity principle in penal cases. The ad? ministration of justice is a sacred cause in al cases, and the decision concerning property and rights, and, frequently, the whole career of a man or the fate of an orphan is, indeed, sufficiently im? portant not to adopt tho majority principle in jury trials, if it implies any lack of protection, or if there is an element of insecurity in it; and if there is not, then there aro many reasons, as we shall seo, why it ought to bo adopted in criminal oases as well as in civil. "At the beginning of my 'Reflection, ' a copy of whioh has been hud by the New York Union League Club before each member of the Convention, L stated the different causes of the failure of justice in the present time. Circumstances obliged me to write that pamphlet in great haste, in whioh I for? got to enumerate among these causes the non agreement of jurors. It would be a useful piers of information, and an important addition to the statistics ofthe times, if the Convention could as? certain, through our able state statistician, the por centage of failures of trials resulting from the non-agreement ot jurors in civil, in cnminal, and especially in capital cases. This failure of agree? ment has begun to show itself in England likewise, t ince the coarse means of forcing the jury to agree by tho strange logic of hunger, cold and darkness, has boon givoa up. "In Scotland no unanimity of the jury is required in penal trials ; nor in France, Italy, Germany, nor iu any country whatever, except England and the United States ; and in the English law it has only corns to bo gradually established in the course of legal changes, and by no means according to a principle clearly established from the beginning. Tho unanimity principle has led to strange results. Not only wore formerly jurorBforcod by physical means to agree in a moral and intellectual point of , viow, but in the oarlior timos it happened that a < verdict was takon from elovon jurors, if they , agrocd, and Hhe refractory juror'was committed ; to prison I (Guido to English Juries, 1682. I take ( the quotation from Forsyth, History of Trial by Jury, 1852.) "Under Henry II. it was established that twelve jurors should agree iu order to determine a ques? tion, but the 'aflbrcement' of the jury meant that as long as twelre jurors did not agree, others wore added to the panol, until twelve out of this number, no matter how large, should agree one way or the other. This was changed occasionally. Under Edward UL it was 'decided' that the verdict of lesB . than twelve was a nullity. At present, in England, - a verdict from loss than twelve is sometimes taken by consent of both parties. There is nothing, either in tho logic ofthe subject or the strict con copUou of right, or in the historic development of j, tho rule, that demands the unanimity of twelve j men, and tho only twelve men set apart to try a cause or case. < Bl "At lirai tho jurors were the judges themselves, J but in tho course of timo the jury,?as judges of the ( fact, came to be separated from the bench as ! judges of tho law, in the gradual development of our accusatorial trial, ls contra-distirTuished to | tho inquisitorial trial. It was a fortunate separa- f tion, which iu no other country has been so clear- c ly perfected. The English trial by jut y is one of [ the great acquisitions in the development of our race, but everything belonging to this species of J trial as it exists as present is by no means perfect; or dod*, tho trial by jury form tho only exception ) tho role that all institutions noeds must chango p be modified in the course ot time, if they are in? vaded to last and outlive oenturioa, or if they hall not become hindrances and causes of ad? ?ente instead of living portions of a healthy or anism. "The French and German rule, and, I believe, he Italian also, is, that if seven jurors are against ve, the jndges retire, and if the bench decides ri th the five against the seven, tho verdict is on he side of the five. If eight jurors agree against Dur, it is a verdict, in capital as well as in common rintinal oases. There is no civil, jury in France, lermany and Italy. "Thia seems to be artificial, and not in harmony nth our conception of the judge, who stands be ween the parties, especially so when the state, he crown, or tho people, is ono of the two par? ies; nor in harmony with the important idea (al hough we Americans have unfortunately given it ip ia many cases) that the jndgen of the fact and hose of the law must be distinctly separated. The' judge, in the French trial, tikes part in the Tying, frequently offensively so. He is the chief nterrogator; he intimu.es, and not anfrequently nsinuates. This would be wholly repugnant to ?mr conceptions and feelings, and may the judge forever keep, with the American and the English people, his independent, high position between ind above the parties ! "On the other hand, what is unanimity worth when it is enforced, or when the jury is 'ont' any length of time, which proves that the formal una? nimity, the outward agreement, is merely ac sommodativo unanimity, if I may make a word ? Such a verdict ia not an intrinsically truthful one; the unanimity is a real 'afforcement,' or artificial Again, tho unanimity principio pute it in the power of any refractor}' juror, possibly sympa? thizing more with crime than with society and right, to defeat the ends of justice by 'holding ont.' Every one remembers caaes of the plainest and of well proved atrocity going unpunished be? cause of one or two jurors resisting the others, either from positively wicked motives or some mawkish reasons which ought to have prevented thom from going into the jury box altogether. "I ask, then, why not adopt this rule: Each jury shall consist of twelve jurors, the agreement of two-thirds of whom shall be sufficient for verdict in all cases, both civil and penal, except in capital cases, when three-fourths must agree to make a verdict valid. But the foreman, in ron dering the verdict, shall state how many jurors have agreed. "I have never heard nor seen in print any ob? jection to the passage above alluded to, in which I have suggested the abandoning of unanimity than this: that people, the criminal included, would not be satisfied with a verdict if they know that some jurors did not agree. As to the cri mi nal, let us leave him alone. I can assure all per? sons who have investigated this subject less than I have, that there are very few convicts satisfied with their verdict. Tho wont among them will acknowledge that they have committed crimes deed, but not the one for which they sro sen tenced; or tho? will insist upon the falsehood of great deal of the testimony on which they are con? victed, or the illegality of the verdict. xiii "The objection to the non-unanimity principle is not founded on any psychologic ground. How much stronger is not the feet that all of us hare to abide by the decision of the majority in the most delicate cases, when supreme courts decide constitutional questions, and we do not only know that there has been no unanimity in the court, but when we actually receive the opinions of the mi nority, and their whole argumenta, which always seem tho better ones to many, sometimes to a ma jority of the people? Ought we to abolish, then, the publication of the fact that a majority of the judges only, and not the totality of them, agreed with the d?cision? By no means. DAMEL WEB STEB said, in my presence, that the study of the protests in the House of Lords (having been pub? lished in a separate volume) was to him the most instructive reading on constitutional law and his? tory. Hay we not say something similar concern? ing many opinions of the minority of our supreme benohes ? "By the adoption of the rule which I have pro? posed, the great principle that no man's life, liber? ty or property shall be jeoparded twice by trials in the court of justice, would become a reality. At least the contrary would become a rare excep? tion. Why do all our constitutions lay down the principle that no one shall be tried twice for the same offence ? Because it is one of the means by which despotic governments harass a citizen, un der disfavor, to try him over and ovei again; and because civil liberty de.rnands that a man shall not be pat twice to the vexation, expense and anxiety for the same imputed offence. Now, the law says if the jury finds no verdict it is no trial, and the indicted person may be tried over again. In reality, however, it is tantamount to rep nate j trial when a person undergoes tho trial, leas only the verdict, and when he remains unprotected against most of the evils and dangers against which the bill of rights or constitution, intended to separe him. The point-namely, the making of the noble principle in our Constitution a reality and positive actuality-seems to me a moBt im portant motive why we should adopt tho measure which I respectfully, but very urgently, reborn mend to the Convention. "In legislation, in politics, in all organizations the unanimity principle savors of barbarism, or indicates at least a lack of development. The United States of the Notherlands could pass no law of importance except by the unanimous con sent of the States General. A single voice in the ancient Polish Diet could veto a measure. Does not, perhaps, something of this sort apply to our jury unanimity ? "Whether it be so or not, ! Cor one am con? vinced that we ought to adopt the other rule, in order to give our verdicts the character of perfect truthfulness,, and to prevent the frequent failures of finding a verdict at all.
