Bnnday M?rttilirVitoh 16. 1873. We took oo?&?ion, a few weeks since, totiotioe the impeachment of the trial by jury by Tammany Hall, New York, In a resolution to the effeot that the publio welfare imperatively demanded a reform . in tho system, to which the attention! of ? the Legislature and Constitutional Oou iTaution was earnestly invoked. The question thus formally raised, it not a new one. It has been discussed time and again in England, anxfr to a less ox tent in this country, w hero 'this mode of trial is entrenohed in the Constitution of the United" "States, and. In thoee of the several States. . Its defects .are now con? spicuously apparent in tbo city of New York. The trials of Stokes, Tweed, Foster, Soannell, and many others, have convinced the community that a verdict is aneo ied by many other considerations than those of the law and evidence. The oanker of cortuptiou is eating into this, as weM as into every other valuable in? stitution of the country and safeguard of its freedom. Bach stage, from the pre? paration of the lists to the rendering of the verdict, is now to be actively can? vassed, and in each will be found some flaw which, ltko a defooti re link in a chain, if strongly tried, will, by its weak? ness, impair the strength of the whole. The requirement of unanimity is one of the essential points, the wisdom* and , necessity for which have long boon doubted, But it is not now maintained that its abandonment will cure the evils whioh'exist in tho practical working of the system. It is -irregular and illogical, certainly, but it early struck its roots deep into our Civil and social life-. If we Were now framing a jury law, de novo, we' would hardly incorporate it; and yet, ae things are,, we are loth to. strike it out. ??0 the wprX of forming vordiote," says Bentham, "had beon'tho work of qaim' reflection, working by the light of expo ..rloflooijiu a comparatively mature and. ' ^likbteaod a'?os.Bome number, certain of affording a majority on one side, via: an odd number, would on this, as on other occasions, have been provided; and to the deoision of tl t preponderat? ing number would of course have been given; thB effeot of the cot juuct deoision of the whole.*? In a note to his Middle Ages, Mr. Hallam, while exalting the grand principle of the Saxon polity, the trial of facta by the ocuntry, speaks of this requirement as a "preposterous relic of barbarism." So it may be, and it has ita serious evils; yet an organic ohange from unanimity to a majority of the jury would fail to remove the sora of which such just complaint is now made. The radical reform required in this country, it has been well said, is in the selection of jurors, and the determination Of their qualifications. The beajfc mon, tax-payers^, should be placed on the list, and the preparation of the jury Hat aud the summoning of jurors should be en? trusted to capable aud honest officers. Intelligence, impartiality, honesty and character should, by every consideration of jqatieo and right, be seoured in those who,' when placed in the jury box, may be said to hold the lives, liberties, pro? perty and rights of their fellow-citizens in their hands. Men of oharaoter, in? tegrity and property are much to blame all over this country for declining and evading jury duty. That is the main reason that so much diBsatisfaction ex? its; that the publio tone is lowered; that so many sooundrels escape just punish? ment, and that so many stupendous wrongs are inflicted on the 'undeserving. Horace Greelet.?The New York World, in alluding to the inauguration, takes oooasion to-pay the following just and feeling tribute to the memory of Mr. Greeley: "Had poor Mr. Grooley been elected and lived, the, throoging of the people in the keen winter air would have been as great, and their eager enthusiasm alto? gether more irrepressible. Had his skillful pen drafted the inaugural ad? dress and the lips now silent under the i snow at Greenwood pronounced it, ad? miring multitudes would have hung upon every sentence, and praise have been extorted from unwilling tongues. Tho wonderful out-pouring of mourners who so thickly lined many of our streets in the bland December air on the ocoa sion of his funeral, may give somo faint idea of what would have tskon plaoe in Washington had he, instead of his suc? cessful rival, been the reoipient of yes? terday's honors." Nor would the contrast between the President's utterances on the quealion of Southern reconciliation, and thoso which the tongue now forever mute would have given, have been less striking.

In tho first year of bis mission, it is narrated that he dared to preaob the gospel of Jeans Christ Id the assembly of the clans or estates of Ireland at Tara, originally a stronghold of the Davids, and subsequently a Btately fabric where the meetings of the several States of the kingdom were held, and where the royal assembly convened. The kings and princes there assembled, with only ono exception, reoeived his doctrine graciously, and professed Christianity. He established monaste? ries, where study and piety were united, and filled Ireland with sohools which beoarne celebrated and attraoted foreign? ers to attend them. From them went forth accomplished masters to Franoe and Europe. In his old age, after a long life of aotive execution and wide? spread benevolence, he composed, in re? treat, his Confessions, a work which attests hia sinoere piety, profound humi? lity and the most lively sense of mercies vouchsafed to him: His dootrine, and tbut of h? successor, lor "many centuries, embody a pure and unexceptionable form of Christian faith and worship, and the few writings of his wbioh have oomo down to ub are as remote aa possi? ble from any controversial tendency or bias.

A Good Run.?It will bo remembered that Deputy United States Marsbai An? derson, with a sqaad of Unitod States soldiers, visited the residence of Mr. R. E.

Mr. Qainn camo to town last Thursday and mot the said Audorson, who was engaged iu a swindling enterprise. Quinu culled him to account for the insultiug language Used in the proscuoo of his wifo.

When Generai P. M. B. Young, the member of Congress from this Distriot, and "ome few other Democrats, took the "wuut of jurisdiction dodge" in Con? gress,' recently, to prevent meeting a plain duty, and voted as they did, in the Credit Mobilier transaction, we found it pretty hard to exouse them. Men who prostituted their high and sacred trusts were by suoh votes white? washed, and a precedent established which allows a Congressman to barter hie vote, defraud the Government and outrage his constituency, to any extent, so he can manage to oonoeal a know? ledge of tho transaction until tho session of the time being shall have passed and the case is placed "beyond jurisdic? tion." We say we found it pretty hard to- excuse our Congressmen then, but when they, as tho record above shows, deliberately cast thoir votes to increase the pay of publio servants who already get far beyond what their services are worth?the case "fatigues indignation." The people have to suffer for all such votes cast by our Representatives.

French lady married to a Germon Baron, and resid? ing at Berlin, has, notwithstanding many influences, remained a staunch French woman. Recently, at a dinner, she was so exasperated at some remarks made to the effeot that Parts is humbled forever, and that Berlin will rapidly take her plaoe as the oapital of the civilized world, that, unable to maintain her self command, she exclaimed: "Berlin oan never rival Paris. Why, you cannot give me a single article, howover ugly and useless, which Paris cannot embel? lish with its wit and grace." An officer drew from his beard a white hair and eaid: "Madame, seo what Paris can do with this; I will send another to Berliu, to see what that oity will do with it." The lady was at first somewhat discon? certed, but at last sent the hair she had received to a jeweler in the Rue du i Rivoli, with a full relation of theoiroum stanoes. It was returned within a week. ' Paria had made a broooh of it.

Federal troops are now asked for. Ltozada, in bis last proclamation, aaya that all Moxioana, not of Indian descent, are foreigners and usurpers, consequently all proceedings emanating from them are nail and void. j The Mexican Government has made an official answer to the British note,' making demand for damages in conse? quence of raids by Mexicans on British Honduras. In answer, the Government says it will do everything in its power to prevent a repetition of these depreda? tions, but refuses to entertain the pro? position for damages. The Government also hopes that England will not carry out tbo threat iu its note to invade the territory of Mexico, should its demands for compensation not bo conceded, and deolares that the ropublio has always observed its lawful obligations. The Trait d' Union says that the reli? gions troubles are apparently reviving. A short time ago a priest, clad in tho gurb of bis order, appeared iu the streets and protested against the enforcement of the liberalizing lawia regard to religious worship. The Government has issued orders, however, that the law must be fully observed. Under its operation, Protestantism is making rapid progress throughout the republic. Thin spread of Protestantism gives great offence to the Catbolio priesthood, who uro Utting every means to preveut its growth and circumscribe its influence. The conse? quence of their efforts has been tbo oc? currence of several deplorable *ceues ately. Very rtcently, a crowd of fa? natics, excited to frenzy by the sermons of some priests, made an attack upon a congregation of Protestants, in a church in Sau Luis. No oue was killed, aa far as known, but several were injured. The police dually dispersed the rioters.

Sad Case of HroitornoniA.?Little Bicbard, a very interesting and promis? ing boy eight years old, sou of Samuel Glaggett, Esq , of Petersville district, in this County, died on the 3d inst., with that most terrible mulady?hydrophobia.

The dog was killed in Mr. Frazier'a yard. Strict watch was kept over the auimals bitten, and all known I preventives uBed with little Biohard. After the expiration of a month, nothing J appearing iu either the boy or the ani? mals to indicate this malady, tho painful apprehension of the parents and friends were in a great measure removed, until on last Saturday, he was seized with un? mistakable symptoms of hydrophobia, which continued to inorease until death .put an eud to hia sufferings, on the I afternoon of Monday. It will be remem? bered that the 30th of January, the day this little boy was bitten, was the ooldest day knowu in this latitude for many years. This case supports the theory that tho extreme oold aa well aa that of heat may develop rabies in dogs, which should be as carefully guarded against in the oold of winter us in the heat of summer.?Frederick (Md.) Citizen, 1th. A Feaufol Visitor.?Tho Paris Star relates the following story : A M'me Bonnean, living in the Rue DescarteB, was sitting in her parlor a few days since, awaiting her husband's return to dinner, when a man of wild and haggard appearance entered, and, seating himself opposite to- her, ad? dressed her in the following terms: "I am a great doctor. I can effectually oure all heuduuhes. I have hoard that you -suffer from that cause, aud I am como to cure you." The lady, perouiv ing that she had to deal with a madman, prudently seemed to fall into his humor*, and asked what was his method of treat? ment. "Simple enough, madame," said he, drawing a razor from his pookot; "I oat off the head, and then, after hav? ing well cleaned it, I replace it upon tho shoulders." Upon this ho prepared to suit tho action to his words. M'me Boa neau, with great coolness, professed her readiness to submit to (he operation, but suggested that she should fetch a towel from tho next room to preveut her dress being stained. Her visitor assented to tho reasonableness of this suggestion, and sho loft her room, locking the door behind her. Upon her return with some polico officers, they found that tho un? fortunate maniac had cut his own throat, bnt not fatally. It was ascertained that he had osoaped from a lunatic asylum at Clcrmont los Pres, and had been vainly sought for during a whole month.
