I have just read au able paper, pub
lished in tbe Northern Rei
ing a radical change in the system *»
the only means of obtaining correct
verdicts with the lesst outlay of time
and money.
Tbe argument is founded upon tbe
assumption that there it not intelli
gence enongb with the unprofessional
public to comprehend the requirements
of the law, nor the force of evidence
sufficiently to guide them to a correct
conclusion in a given case. Up-m this
assumption tbe writer of the paper, in
qoestion, suggests s radical change of
ijstem that wonld take the doty and
-esponsibilily off the people and put
them upon those .of a higher order of
intelligences and legal attainments.
This is a plausible theory, and if
adopted wonld certainly make places
of emolument of money for the legal
profession, bnt would be a reflection
upon a large body of men who are
characterized by intelligence and busi
ness qualifications of the highest order,
and who constitute the bone and sin
ews of tbe country, and whose busiuess
qualifications have enab'ed them to
accumulate four-fifths of the property
■ought to be protected by the organiza
tion of our jury system. This proposed
change clasae* the intellectu*!
strength and efficiency of the country
with minors and imbeciles, as fit sub
jects to bo cared for by another. Tbe
plain language of tbe proposed change
is, wp ate of a higher order of intelli
gences and wonld assume the guardian
ship of the nnpiofessional public and
protect their respective interest.
Such I conceive to be the liiden. but
true meaning of the proposed change of
onr jury system, that would take from
the people the right and power of self
protection and vest it in the legal pro
fession.
While I am not prepared for such a
radical change, I am inclined to think
that our jury system under tbe latv of
1868 was far better than that of 1877.
and that a repeal of that of 1877 and
the reenactmeut of that of 1808 would
b« productive of much good.
The law of 1868, fairly administered,
distributed the talent anti efficiency of
the country between the grand and
traverse juries, while that of 1877 de
prives tbe traverse jury of that degree
or amount of efficiency necessary for
the discharge of the labor and respon
sibility that devolves upon them. Tbe
legitimate resalt is delays in the ad
ministration of the law and an increase
of litigation, by appeals to a
higher tribunal that renders .it impos
sible for a litigant of limited means to
protect his interest against one of
wealth and power.
say that the legislature
of 1877 did not contemplate such a re
sult. It was assumed (and juktly so)
that there was intelligence enough in
every county, when properly and equal
ly distributed between the two bodies,
according to the spirit and intention of
the law, to give character and efficiency
to both.
It fellows than the*, it is partly thi
abuses of tbe law providing for the
orgaaization of the pane! of jm
est of litigants Of this abuse I shall
now apeak.
I assume that the adoption of the
law* and customs of England, dnriug
our colonial existence, carried with it a
degree of that aristocratic pride that
characterized tbe judfciary system oi
England, which is contrary to the
genius of our Republic and should fimi
sympathy or place io the judiciary
our country. This pride and aris
tocratic excrece&ce or fnngns displayed
itself in tbe sword that formerly bang
the side of an officer as he pompous
ly proceeded the Judge and body of
is, robed of the last vestige of
moral and intellectual efficiency neces
sary for tbe faithful discharge of duty
iu a case of life and death. No sys
tem for the selection of jurors should
exist where the social position or life of
a hnman being may be determined by
a tribunal of justice tbhl is first shorn
of iu moral and intellectual efficiency
by a legal process. l( there mnst be
an unequal distribution of intelligence
and virtue, a preponderance should
characterize that body of jurors upon
which devolves^the higher duty of de
termining the rights of litigants, aud
questions of life and death. It is true,
that there is some sho,w of plausibili -
ty in the plea that tbs grand jnry is
the guardian to watch gr« the interest
•ti the county, and to. see that tbe,
county officials have faithfully
discharged their respective duties, aua
report upon Abe correctness of thejr ac
tion. But it is equally true, tbs^there
are in onr county at least three han
dled citizens subject to duty, any one
of whom, if pat in the possession of
tbe books of th* teverml officers of the
county, are able to present to the cotut
full aud correct reports as to then
mracy as generally result from tfit-
ion of the whole body ofjutiAwL
This being true, it superseeds th» ne
cessity of such a sweeping ingathering
of all the supposed intelligence' into
body at so great a sacrifice of time,
it-y and equity as results from such
urse. Tbe fact that a majority of
important cases for tbe last twenty
years have been carried np to a higher
tribnnal at the expense of litigants jus
tifies this fesbleefibrt toaronsethe rep
resentatives of the people to a sense of
' doty that they make an efFor^o
r jury system
ill result in an equal'dwtribn
tin of intelligence and efficiency be-
• <cn the grand and traverse jnrys in
ir conrts oflnw. Here allow me to
.y. that the cations fact in this matter
remains to be accounted for. Why
honld men of intelligence and learning
>ud wealth, be so blind to their own
interests as to elsct, to sit as a body oi
grand jurors, and. try cases upon ex-
pitrte evidence, while their property,
liberty, and their social positiou,
ven life itself are left tc be pro
tected and determined by a body of ju
rors that has been shorn of its strength
by the laws and customs of out couu-
There should be au adaptation of
eaus to thqtnd sought to be obtnin-
Jostice i etween litigants and the
protection of life at the smallest
ifice of time and money should be the
ibjectof the law, and nothing short
m exercise of the highest order of i
telligence and virtue in its administrs-
a fiord a ns any guarantee that the
object will be attained.
In view of the paramount importance
of the aubjeot^I now propose to cousid

EASY DIVORCE.
What therefore God hath Joined together,

looked over the laws of all the Stale*,
nd 1 find that while in some States it
s easier than in others, in every Staty
it is ei»y. The State of Illinois,
through its Legislature, recites a long
of proper causes for divorce, and
i closes up by giving to the - courts
the right to make a decree of divorce in
case where they deem it expedient,
r that you are not surprised at the
•uncement that in one county of
the State of lllinnia, in one year, theib
were 883 divorces. . If you want t’b
know how easy it is, you have only to
look over the records of tho States. In
Massachusetts 600 divorces in one year;
Maine 478 in one year; *
year; in thecit;
i 401 divorces m one year; in thecity
San Francisco 333 divorces in 1880;
New England in one year 2,113 di-
rcss, and in twenty years in New
Eugland 20,000. Is not that easy
igh? If the same ratio continue,
of mall iplifd divorce and mnl-
rom the court room, as though tin
touch of a citizen would befall hit
houor, or some contaminating influence
wonld lodge in the folds of the gar
ments of the grand body, as they
brought in a batch of tine bills tha't
their superior wisdom enabled them t<
find upon exparto evidence.
This same prids has separated thi
wealthy from the poor, and intelligencr
from mental weakness, and the learned
from the unlearned, and outraged the
genins of a republican judiciary, by
denying many the rights of freemen.
It has packed intelligence and mental
weakness into separate rooms, labeled
the one, the grand inquisition of the
county, and vested it with
ers and assigned to it the extraordinary
dnty of finding true bills upon exparti
evidence. And what am I asked ol
the other? We gave it the significant
■ame of petit, the true meaning ol
which is small, little and mean; and
to this body of American citizens, after
robbing it of all that should character
ize an American jury, you require it to
decide questions of law and of right
upon tha most conflicting evidence that
shrewd and practiced attorneys may be
able totortnre from an excited witness.
This folly and abase of the law for the
selection of jurors have been encouraged
by the judicial charge of the court to
the gaud jury, the general tone and
spirit of which have the tendency to
inflate that body with the pleasing no
tion of its own greatness, and oth
er peoples littleness to that extent that
tbe magnitude of the outrage has as
sumed such proportions, that a mac.
who is educated and deems himself in
telligent is insulted if his name should
be cast as a traverse juror. 1 ask, may
question tbe wisdom and
propriety of a law or custom that
wonld by selection organize.* body .of
grand jxrora at so great a sacrifice as
that of tbe efficiency of the traverse
jury, and give it so little to do while
the duties and responsibility of tin
traverse jury are paramount to all otb
ers connected with the judiciary of the
country? It is to this bjojly the old
cognomen petit designates as little and
insignificant, that the laws of the
country have assigned the highest da-
ties of oar judiciary. It is this body
is called upon to determine the
rights of litigants, with conflicting
(fence M the only guide to a coi
verdict where property, social position,
liberty and life are involved.
I am bold to say. that the spirit of
the law. authorizing th* organisation
of th* two bodies of jnrors, did not con
template each an outrage upon com
mon seas* sad tbe right of litigant*
Every litigant is entitled to tbe pro-
ject,l now di
from n political
the adoption of the laws and easterns
of other nations, we should be careful
oadopt none that is not in harmony
with our republican form of govern
ment, and 1 would emphasize the fact
that the adoption of onr jury sys-
whether borrowed or original,
no exception to the general rule.
Ours is a representative government,
aud no mnpire; if three men ehould be
inthorized by law to determine my
competency, to sit and act in the high-
ist capacity as a juror and two ignor
ing ray right to be heard, yon bad bet
ter tend a doomed juror to an asylnm
ban to ostracise him mentally and
norally without a bearing, and leave
him' to run at large to seek the sytnpa
thy of those who live in and breathe
the social atmosphere of a lower plain.
Ostracism, whether social, civil or po
litical , tends to degrads, create and
to strengthen the cords that draws to
gether and binds in chains of adamant
th* whole class thu* degraded. It be
comes a. body politic, compact and
fi«ly framed together and co
llated by that political sympathy
i*t characterizes those ot a common
iterest, and I may add,that where the
iws or usages of a country creates
common interest, concert of action i
the ballot box mnst and will follow.
These suggestions foreshadow the
future of all republics which dare ig
nore the fundamental troth that * ’*
popular governments advaloram
tion and representation are of right aud
ought to be inseparably connected,
whether in the jury system or in the
halls of legislation all else being equal.
These facta being admitted by thi
action of the government, it foRowt
that every citizen of tbs country being
subject to a reasonable qualification
should have the right and be required
to serve as a grand or traverse juror,
-objected only to a challenge for in-
competeuey by tbe litigants directly
interested. All history shows that
he interest of a people is safe in the
halls of legislation where intelligence
nd virtue predominate, and I would
icre emphasize th* remark, that where
wisdem and virtue predominate, as in
tbe South, tbe rights of the people are
iver protected against the aggressive
novement of imbecility and corruption,
and we’have no reason to fear in a de
liberative body of grand or traverse ju
ra that the result would be differs at.
Iu conclusion, allow me. to say that
I am no* in my eigh h decade, have
itched closely for fifty years the ef
ts of our jury system upon the rights
of litigants and the morals of society,
I know its defects and have seen its
alures. Tbe evil has grown to. inch

life will be a crucifixion, ns was the
with Mrs. Sigonrncy the great
poetess and the great soul. Sometimes
consecrated man will be united to a
fury, as was John Wesley, or nnited
a vixen, as was John Milton. Some-
aee, and generally, both parlies are
blame, and Thomas Carlyle is an
intolerable scold, and his wile smokes
and swears and Fronde, tho historian,
is mean enongh, because of the shekels
he gets for the manuscript, to poll aside
the curtain from the life-long squabble
at Craigenputtock and Five Oheym
Row. Some say that for the allevia
tion of all these domestic disorders of
which we hear easy divorce is a good
prescription. God sometimes authoriz-
““ divorce as certainly as he anthoriz-
marriage. 1 have just as ronch re
gard for one Jawfally divorced ms 1
have for one lawfully married. Bnt
you know, and I kuow, that wholesale
divorce is one of onr national sconrges.
ot surprised at this when I think
of the inflaences which have
abroad militating against the marriage
relation. For many years the plat
forms of the conntry rang with talk
about a free love millennium. There
were meetings of this kind hold it
Academy of Mnsio, Brooklyn, Cooper
Institute, New York.Tremont Temple,
Boston, and all over the land, f
f the women who were most pi
in that movement have since been
distinguished for great promisenosity
ol affection. Popular themes for
occasions were the tyrauny of mar
•pprestion of the marriage relation,
Oman’s rights and the affinities.
Prominent speakers were women with
•hort curls and short dross and very
ong tongue, everlastingly at war
God beesnse they were created wc
while on the platform sat meek
with soft accent and cowed demeanor,
pologetic for masculinity, and holding
he parasols while the termagant
rot on preaching the gospel of
free love. That campaign of about
reaty years sent more devils int
marriage relation than will be ex
ed in the next fifty. Men and women
went home from aach meetings so
manently confused as to who
their wives and husbands that they
got out of the perplexity, and the
criminal and civil courts tried to disen
tangle the Iliad of woes, and this one
got alimony, and that one got a limited
divorce, and this mother kept tbe chil-
tiplied causes of divorc., we
from the time when the courts will
have to set apart whole days for appli
cations aud all you will have to proye
against a man will be that he left his
lippeis in the midiilu of the floor, and
all you will have to prove against a
oman will be that her Imsband’a over
eat was buttonless. Causes of divorce
donbled in a few years—doubled in
Frauce, doubled in England and donb*
the United States. To khow
how very easy it is, I ha'
magnitude that its arrest can only be
effected by a sweeping stroke of civil
and political ostracism or a wise utili
zation of th* weaker dement in o
midst. The former is not desirable .
in harmony with tbe geaine of our Re
public, and we bn single alterna-
utilize and' control by' superior

these went into graves and th
into an insane asylnm, and all went
destruction. The mightiest war ev
made against the marriage institution
was that free love campaign, sometimes
under oue name and sometimes undei
another. Another influence that hat
waired upon the marriage relation bai
been polygamy in Utah. That is i
stereotyped caricature of the marriage
relation, and has poisoned the whole
land. .Yon might as well think that
