01 3?fic jStUIn &XXWZX. ASTOK3A. OREGON TUESDAV...:.....r.OCTOUKi: v., 1S.-2 - -.- j. r. iLiLLogAX cdiior . . Has Outlived Its Vacmiiicss. A veey serious question has arisen throughout the United States in regard to the jury sys tem. Is trial b jury played out? Is it possible to secure a jury which will honestly try and deter mine a case on the evidence pre sented in court, without fear, favor or- affection? The fact that all these questions are being put In all states of . the Union is prima facie evidence that the jury system is corrupt, and that a condition of things exists in connection with the courts which threatens the foundation of social order, li tne .administration of justice be cor rupt at the fountain head in the ijury box what hope is there for the conservation of personal and popular rights? Trial by jury has ever been regarded, in Anglo Saxon communities, as the bust possible guarantee of the rights of individuals against the rich and powerful. The jury, in times past, stood between the people and arbi trary government; and if it had been corrupt,in not a few instances in the history of constitutional development in England, there would have been an end of civil liberty and religious toleration. In this country the foundations of civil liberty are laid deep and broad in the constitution, and there is nothing to dread from arbitrary government; but there is much to dread from social and moral dryrot, w.hich naturally manifests itself, first of all, in the corruption of justice by the perversion of the jury system. The danger to the social fabric from this cause is not less fatal than it would be were the republic menaced bj' imperial ism. In the latter case, the man hood of the nation would rise in its might and brush aside at once and forever the instruments of autocracy; but, in the former, the danger lies in the body ol the people themselves; is selfcreated, as it were, and can onlv be eradi cated by a thorough awakening or the public conscience, and the in fliction of stern justice in the case of all who may be proved to have been guilty of corruptly influenc ing juries, or of having been so in fluenced while actum in the ca- fit t. - pacity of a juror. That this evil has become a great and over shadowing one is well known to bench and bar. It is, perhaps, within the power of the courts, sustained by a patriotic and pure minded bar, to destroy it root and branch; but when we consider the influence by which the judiciary is elected all over the Union, and tho relations of lawyers to their cii ents,- we are not hopeful of any ef fective action in this quarter. A judiciary that is dependent on popular suffrage for its position is not going to make war against a system which might be used, with crushing effect, to destroy all fu ture hope of a preferment. If th e reform, comes at at all, it must come from the people. -The moral sense of American citizens must bearoused to the necessity for re moving the foul blot of bribery and corruption from their judicial system. If the respectable and conservative element of society takes this matter in hand, those actively engaged in the adminis tration of justice would willingly co-opcrate; but while 'the best ciass;Oi citizens remain supine the evil will grow and intensify. Tun Chicago Tribune thinks if . th'elrnen in the civil service of the United States may be justly taxed to. tho extent of $ioO,000 or 500, .000 1 a 'year for party purposes, then it is evident these men are paid thatmuch in excess of a just and fair compensation for their services; and that under the .pre text of . appropriating money for the public service, the money is Toted from - the treasury Tor party purposes. ; - TnE Egyptian authorities con-j sidcr the countrv is jjencrallv so rapidly icturning to its normal' i"dU.i0"; urt!l!

A tide in Cairo, Egypt, last Sat urday, destroyed the English quar ter of that city, and occasioned considerable loss of life. BORX. In Astoria, Octobers, 1852, to tlse wife of J. E.
