C., Nov. 2nd, 18:11. \ F? the baby the crying issue of National politics? i- Economy lias become an engross ing subject with Attorney General Pope._ ._ \ A inouuiiient to the generous, bravo and brilliant Dawsou should b*J erected I .Lot the newspapers of the Slate take the lead in the movement. A Pennsylvania Judge has ruled ; that electricity is not a manufac '<. lured article, lie probably based this decision upon tlio fact that the ^McKinley law does not niako it fctitlable._ From the numberless compli inonts paid oach otlicr, we are led 'to suspect that Georgia editors havo more heart than beau,?but ^Georgia editors are not headless mortals by any means. Talk of arresting General G. T. lieauregard .sounds ill to southern oars, but General G. T. Bonurogard should havo had sulllelont respect for his country, if not for himself, .to have refused to hire to the Lou isiana Lottery. Clomsou College is out of funds and tho work of finishing is de layod in consequence. It Is to be .hoped that the legislature will deal generously with the institution. Glemson must be made an honor to tho Slate and there should be : no parsimony in the appropriations. I Here's a prediction. The Legis lature at tho coming session will cut down salaries In about the stylo that Samson cut down a thousand Philistines. Such a step Would have boon precipitate at Un lust session, for why indeed should not the "ins" have enjoyed big pay for n twclfthmonth ? Hut now ftheso same "ins" are confronted by a grim necessity to get tip a scheme to hold on and slay in and a reduc tion of salaries w ill follow. Tito ^legislators may reduce salaries from a holy motive but if they do. I^tlioy'll do wrong. Tho salaries arc all right now and as n rule not too high. Speaking of the Columbia Stale, tho Sumter Freeman says: "Wo glory in its enterprise and *wish it all the success we can con scientiously wish so bitter an oppo nent of the righteous cause of the farmers." If we believed Tho Slate to be a !ty)lttter opponent of the righteous causo of the farmers" wo could conscientiously wish it in purgti ;tory at least, but we are satisfied ? that Tho Stato is as trim a friend to tho farmers as is the Freeman, i; Tho Freeman might remember that wo are all freemen, entitled to our own opinions, and its assump tion that the particular cause which it advocates for tho farmers ; is the only righteous one, sounds .like shabby nonsense to those who try to give every man credit for honesty of conviction. Ought Our Jury System to be Changed? '?Judlco? Est Jua Dlccro, Non D.iro." Abbovillo Medium. Tho matter presented to our Brand Jury at the recent term of Court by his Honor Judge Hudson, in reference to our system of trial by Jury, which prevail.-; throughout the United States, and his extra judicial proposition to change if. in South Carolina, demands and * should receive more than an Ex parte hearing, such as was given to'his Honor's rccunmcndulion by the very intelligent body of gentle men composing the Jury to which his remarks were addressed. His argument in approaching the irVory radical proposition which ho s'flnalJy submitted to their consid eration, was ingenious, and well Calculated to excite; tho'::' attention. .It seems from his manner of pre* Mentation, that he was very iiulig li.'mwit because of the wrongs inflicted upon Juries in seme localities, "whore they tiro locked up a.sil they were tho criminals to be published, and deprived ad interim of every Comfort, "candle light and water only excepted," while engaged in tfeonaidering cases involving the I .life or liberty, diameter, reputation, Or of less importance, of thoh fd | low -citizens, who have, by their [ own rasher dishonest tic!, or tho false accusation of their enemies, fallen into the hands of the law. Bvory one will admit, that (his is J ono of tin; relics of the past and I liiere unrefined age, which in some | localities only, bus been permitted to ding to the Jury System, like a harnaclo to the otherwise clean 'bottom of a ship. Who would break up and destroy a ship for sue!; 'cause! The remedy in tho one case Ins in the other, is to remove the bari'.iele. After elaborating^, the self evi dent proposition that Juries while ??ousldering cases should be made .i.ore r.ninfoi'ii.!)!*' than hu.i been Jtho practice in ibis f'-tale, so that ?their lilidings in all eases might he Ithe result oi intelligent and eoiisci Tetltlous deliberation, instead oi [!i dug determined as he stated was Idone in scibe eases by a triumph forth?

And of couiso the change would also carry with it tlio converse, viz: a majority of any particular Jury em panelled to try tho most notorious ly abandoned criminal, might pro nounce him legally innocent and turn him loose again to prey upon society, over tlio protest and in spite of tlio opposition of tho moro intelligent and Conscientious mi nority! Anything less than tho unani mous verdict of twelve men known to our law as a Jury, who, upon be ing severally called will answer they liavo agreed to tlio finding hb presented to the Court, is a radical change in a systom hoary with nge. Is tho country ready for it? Wo might without being guilty of any disrespect to one whom wo regard as an able expounder of (ho law, very justly criticise his viola tion of oiii!of the old maxims which appears at (he head of tills article, viz: "It is the duly of a judgo to declare tholaw and not (o make it." Neither making in hia decisions or judgment wliero statutes und pre cedents must cotlttol, nor by any other methods. A convention of judges bringing to notice of the legislative depart nioutof government, any defects in the law which they have been called upon to administer and sug gestive of amendments to old laws or the enactment of new ones to moot the requirements of justice In their jurisdiction, Is eminently proper und commendable. But an address lo the public of each county at the opening of Court, while os tensibly charging the Grand Jury, condemnatory of tlio law or laws which it is their solemn duty lo administer Impartially, or suggest ing changes which strike nt the very foundation upon which the temple of justice is erected, as to (he ascertainment of fact, is of doubtful propriety, and to somo mln is would sconi out of place. But let that pass, with the simple further remark, that a judgo on the bench covered with the robe of his olllco and invested with the power incident thereto, Is a different per son In legal contemplation, from the mere man he is, us an individ ual member of society. That there are .some things which he may with great propriety do. as a mere citi zen, and considered as a mere citi zen acting and speaking as a citi zen by those who may see or hear hi in, which he may not properly do or say, while sitting ns a minis tor of tho law, in a place set apart as sacred to the administration of justice. '?A judgo should bo a man so learned; So full of equity, bo nob'.o, tonotablo; In tho process of his lite so innocent; In tho inaUngO of his olllco so incorrupt; In the passagos ot state so wlso; In AUeotlon of his count ry so religious; In all his services to tho King so I'orlunuto and exploring, as envy Itsolf cannot aeouso, or malloo vit'tato." In our next we propose lo glance nt the history of trial by jury us it has come down to us through tlio ages, and endeavor to show that a change is not only not needed to promote the ends of justice, but would bo a Stop backward towards an ago of tyranny and oppression. _Lex. I trot lurto on l.owell. It lias ah.-a/s seemed to me that his early success, ns well as his strength, lay in his keen instinctive insight into tho personal character of tbo New Fng Innder. Ho had by no means created the "Yankee" in literature; neither had lie been tho Hint to use tho Yankee dialect. Judge 1 Inlihurton, a writer of more unqualified English blood, bad already drawn ".Sam Slick," but it was the Yankee regarded from the "out side"?as lie was wont to aggressively present lihusolf to the neighboring "Blue No os"?and although tbo pic ture was not without occasional grace ful and poetic touches, tho poetry and grace wns felt to be Judgo Haliburton's, rather than Sam Slick's. It may Intel est the curious reader to compare tlio pretty proso fancy of Sam Slick's dream with the genuine ring of "Hosen Biglow's Courting." Dr. Judd's "Margaret"?a novel, I fear, unknown to most englishmen?was already a New Fuglnnd classic when Hosea Dig low was born. It was n dialect ro mance, so provincial as to be almost un intelligible to even the average Ameri San reader, but while it was painted with a coarse Flemish fidelity, itsinolodrama was conventional and imported. It re mained for Mr. Lowell alone to dis cover and portray the real Yankee, that wonderful evolution of tho Fng lish Puritan, who had shaken oil the forms and superstitions, but never tho deep consciousness of God,-?
