From the Savannah News.
Petit Juries.
The Morning News contained an'
Congressman Hammond, of this | articJe a feVday^oon tJte Unties
;1 j.; and responsibiUtieMf grand jurors.
There is reason to believe that it
met with general approval. It may
not he amiss to say a word about
the duties and responsibilities of
petit jurors, which have almost as
State, has been critically ill

be was much improved.
W e see it stated that there is not
an editor or printer in the lunatic
asylum, although all other trades
and professions are represented.
T4«‘ Coweta Advertiser is a good
pafiet, but itAvill persist in spelling
jj “Jiyipynial.” wliicliit should not
do.
The maimed soldiers are rapidly
drawing the money allowed them
under law as. commutation for arti
ficial limbs, nearly two hundred
applications having been made up
to this time.
Ex-President Jefferson Davis has
captured the Supreme Court of the
United States, so to speak, at least
it hhs rendered a decision sustain
ing his claim to the large estate be
queathed him by the will of Mrs.
Sarah Ann Dorsey, who died in
Mississippi some ’years ago. It
is not stated whether or not Mr.
Justice Harlan let slip the oppor
tunity of rendering a dissenting
ppiniou.'
“It has been customary,” says the
Times-Deniqcrat, “to refer to Texas
svs owing its' large prosperity to
northern immigration and enter
prise. Without saying a word
.against northern emigrants, who
are the very best of citizens, it is
quite evident they have played a
small part in the development of
the State. New England has con
tributed just 4,0G4 to the population
of Texas, the rest of the country
north of the Ohio, 00,894, and the
older southern states, 556,987. Of
the native population of . Texas to
day 93 per cent, is southern and 7
' per cent, northern.”
. A dispatch from Atlanta to the
Augusta Evening News says:
“Gov. McDaniel has revived the
suit against the security of Renfroe,
He has employed B. H, Hill, jr. , to
assist tjie attorney general. The
suit seeks to recover interest on the
State’s money paid by the State de
positors to, Mr. Renfroe. It is hard
ly possible that there will be any
recovery, as the legislature ordered
similar surt against a former treas
urer stopped and thus set a prece
dent.”
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Macon Telegraph says he heard a
one legged man in Atlanta make
the following remarks on the com
parative disadvantage arising from
loss of an arm arid the loss of a
leg: it’s all- wrong to make a larger
allowance for a fellow who has lost
a leg than for one who lost an arm.
Why? With one good leg and a
wooden mate you can get about
welldnough, do anything, in
kind ofbusiriess,and with the ability
to walk and the use of your hand-,
you are hardly disabled at all. On
the other hand a one-armed man is
awkward at anything. Htrlooks
Tme-sfdcd, is one sided In fact; ap
pears always at a disadvantage in
any occupation. Why,” said he,
as one stating an irrefutable propo
rtion; “A one armed nu n can’t
even hug his girl with any satisfac
tion-” Finding no one present in
clined to argue with him, and to
further illustrate how a one-legged
man may overcome and rise superi
or to his physical disability, he
jumped straight up and knocked
b^sjjcels together three times be
fore touching the floor again. Af
ter hearing his argument, which 1
frnVe hot attempted to report in
full, and witnessing his last rather
surprising performance, which a
great many with sound legs are un
it bW to accoinplfsh, I am almost
tempted to ask' if the Legislature
has not made a mistake in the un
equal appropriation, and is not a
man who lias lost an arm at as
great disadvantage in the struggle
of every day life as one who has lost
a leg?
Meriwether Vindicator: Maj. J
F. Jones, of HogansVillc, passed
through Greenville last Tuesday
with 1,100 speckled.cat fish which
};e had obtained from the ponds of
Dj'/W. J. Barnes and Henry R.
Harris, of the second district

much to do. with the well-being of
society as those of the grand jurors.
It is to he regretted that so riiauy
good citizens shirk these responsi
bilities and duties. One can daily
hear criticisms upon the way the
law is administered, and complaints
about the failure to punish crimi
nals. The officers of the law—the
Judges, the solicitors-and the law
yers—come in for all the abuse, and
the juries are said to be so stupid or
venal. After all who are legally
exempted, which are by far too ma
ny, and the sick are excused, tin*
lawyer when he faces the panel is
struck almost speechless by the
crowd he lias to enlighten with the
law and the facts. He thinks of
Judge Dooly’s oft quoted saying
tluv; “only God Almighty can tell
how a petit jury will decide.”
To have the benefit of good laws
there must he good men to adminis
ter them, and under our system
that duty is largely with the juries.
Every citizen should fell it a privi
lege to occasionally share in this
important part of the free govern
ment.
The qualifications of petit jurors
are the same as under the laws of
Georgia as those of grand jurors,
and their duties are of ne less im
portance. They should he selected
by lot from the most intelligent
upright and experienced citizens of
the several counties. They are
sworn to “well and truly try the
causes submitted to them, and a
true verdict to give acccording to
the evidence.” The grand jury has
its peculiar province—that of put
ting the machinery of the law in
operation so as to conserve the in
terest of the community, and cause
the arrest and trial of violators of
the law. Their work, however, will
be in vain unless the trials should
be had before intelligent and up
right petit jurors. The many im
portant questions to be passed on
and nice discriminations to he
made [concerning the credibility
and effect of confleting evidence,
require the exercise of great sense
of justice and,’judgment. Few or
dinary men are equal to this task,
and the great defect in our jury sys
tem is that often the
very best qualified men are either
exempted by the law or get ex
cused by the presiding judge. No
wonder then that men should hold
trial by jury In fear when impor
tant interests are involved.

The colored educational conven

week, and, as usual, the organiza

siderable confusion. One “Rev.

some good advice, He advised the
negroes to first get an educaiion;
second, religion; third, money;
That is over 20,090 pounds. And ten
times twenty thousand persons anxiously

patronized traveling shows in America,
in speaking of the wide-spread populari

ever Ik* found three, trees growing there
he found Sati rdav Xiout."
