Amerious, Ga„ Deo. 15, 1801. TBIU BY JURY. Tabllo opinion seems to tend towards the abolition of the present system of trial by jury in capital eases; and not 'without cause. Examples are every where cropping up of paoked and bribed juries, of the acquittal of wealthy and Influential criminals through, the power of money. Bnt leaving aaide the de plorable fact that aueh corruption doea exist, it baa been pertinently aaked if twelve men choaen from the ordinary walks of life are capable of beetowlng updtrthe adduced testimony that careful and comprehensive consideration, en tirely unbiased by any previously formed opinion, which la absolutely essential to <tbe rendering of an impartial and strictly Just verdict. 1 Chosen generally from the Immediate vicinity of the sceno of the crime, these twelve men go into the jury box to pas* judgment upon a human being who shall be tried in accordance with the tenets set forth in the old Mosaic law, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth If he bo Ipnocont, let him <go forth with bis oharacter cleared of the stain of human blood wantonly shed, but If ha be guilty, in the name of law and the upholding of morality and civilisation let him meet with the untimely end which be himself has brought upon a fellow creature Thlajury, fresh from discussion of the orlme, are called together to take cognisance of evidence the merits of which they have already, in nind cases oat of ten, heard exhaustively discussed outside. They listen to ingenious and I nming olnqucncb from oppoaing coun sel, and possibly after four or five days of Indurance of lrgal squabbling and tedious and unimportant cross-examination o' wit nesses they retire to the jury room thero, in one voice, render a verdict in a case, the earlier details of which are already dim in the memory. - That the 'system has its vital defeots thorecan be no doubt, and with reason It has boon urged that the cause of jut- tics would be more effectively upheld were the judgment and eentenoe entrust ed to a boneh of justiooa composed of men folly equipped in legal knowledge and of known integrity, who could rightly interpret and dispose of the in tricate technical points which may at any time arise Mb. Juan Alvaukz, who has just returned from the southwestern part of Mexico, reports the exist onso of a strange city that has never been trod by the foot of white roan. It is an old Axteo city and the approaohos to it are so guarded by nature that It la an Impossibility to reaoh it it the inhabitants do not want tho traveler to got In, Tho city lice In the almost inaccessible mountains In the region lying in tho extreme southwest ern part of the country, and is so far away from civilization that tew whito men have ever been In tho neighborhood, It was by the purest accident that Al varez became aware that a city waa any where In the vicinity, and after be found It all of hit endeavors to reach' it were unavailing on account of the penis tent opposition of the natives. Tub Constitution is urging upon the consideration of the country the neces sity of combining the issues of tariff re form with financial relief. One Issue, ■ays the Constitution, should not be sep- arated from the other, but both should be the leaven that will leaven the Demo cratic mast in 1692, Heanr Wattekson’s eulogy of Crisp is a masterpiece of rhetorical beauty 'and finish. He fin is in Crisp's elevation tj the second office within the gift of the American people a copious source for marvel, since hr secured the plum over snob vetran statesmen aa Springer and Mills. The New York Sun, according to the Tribune-of-Romo, ta a, paragon of classical rhetoric, faultless management of words and strong, pure, virile Eng lish. Editor Dana’s control of style is phenomenal, and the Sun’s editorial page suggests the claasio polish of Ma- ' cauley. Tub Chilian government is Incensed at President lfarrison’e allusion In hie mes sage to Baltimore affair. They claim that bis opinions wero based on ex-psrte testimony, and he has been severely criticized for stretching the blanket. BnA2iL seems to be "in U” with a ven geance. The new governor has been re quested to resign, bnt refuses to accede to tho request. Martial law will be pro claimed. COUNTY DIItKCTOHY Sci'kriob Court—Hon. W. If. Fish, judge; C. B.
