Attorney O'iSeUl THnU a tittle T-itt That "Will Interest Xt Only TVaterbnry, Bnt People of th Whole Suite 'vriiy the Lw Shonld Be Ttepealed. To the Kditor of the Pemocsat : 1 desire to call attention to the, work ings of the act of the peneral (Kiembly, )assed tliis year, for the selection of jurors, and to show what an outrage ously partisan uieauro it is. It pro vides that the selectmen shall eleet dou ble the number of jurora to which the te,wn is entitled; that the judges of the superior court thall appoint two Jury commissioners in each of tho cwntiei, who, with the clerk of the cuty, nhall erase one-half of the mamec aelected by the selectmen to rve as jurors; and these ure to uot as jurors for one year. This statute is auhttantiallT a re-enact ment of similar provisio passed by the general assembiv in law, and which emained fs law until IRfHi, when the act wus repealed. It was claraaed tat the jurors selected under the law prior to lssn were inferior men. But it was found that abuses by the pelectmen and jury commissioners were so ftrave and so ilivious that in lhKh tne jury commls ioners were ablithed. and the method of selc ting jurors by the old process at a convention of the aelectmen, grand juror una msnces ot the peace was restored. To show what the ahuses were undef jury cominissioaers I rh-e you the follow ing lists, taken from the Warerburr American. I examined the files of the American very carefully tar the months of May and July every year from laa t lMi. both included. I examined these months becmie the selectmen, under the the law of lSSn, were obliged to select the names of the jurors choen by them in the month of May. and the jury com missioners were obliged to strike out one-half of the nr.mes on the second Monday in July. It will ho seen from these lists what confidence the select men ana jury commissioners uaa lu lor- eigners lor juror: LIST SK1.F.OT1.1I BY Tnt? JTTiT COMMIS f.l'SF.KS .tfl.T Tt. l.80. Ir.

The law in 18S0 and following that year provided for twenty-two names in the Jnry box. but this year the law has been changed and we arc now entitled to have forty-four names in the box. The select men therefore aro required to select eighty-eight names, and from this list forty-four names are stricken out; aad inn it now they dirt ft thi year, me selectmen of H'aterbury selected tho fol lowing eighty-eight Maine as jurors for v aiermirv ror tnis comlnz year, ana the wero dulv forwarded to the jury commissioners lor New Haven county, who aro, Mr. Hobert O.

Now, when we take into account the fact that when eighteen jurors are taken out of the different boxes, and that only two jurors are summoned from each tow u, wo can well nnderstaad what little chance there is for t here being more thau one or two foreigners on any Jury walch it is possible to draw from the different boxes. But this is not all the difficulty we have, for if by chance there should be a cause on trial between a foreigner and a native horn, and there should he a foreigner on the jury, tho counsel acting for the native born would challenge that foreigner jnst as sure as death. 1 have known this to occur tiaies without num ber. This afternoon I looked over the docket of the district court, which was printed the beginning of the January term, 1805, and found that there were f44 cases all told on this docket, and that of these there were foreigners, plain tiffs or defendants, 3S3 in number; in other words, that about two-thirds of the parties to the actions in said court aro foreigner. I also examined the jury docket espe cially, and found that there are sixty three cases on this docket ; and that forty, out of these had a plaintiff or de fendant who was a foreigner. I write this article because I have been present mow for more than thirty years annually at the meeting of the" select- men. justices of the peace and grand jur ors when they were assembled as a board for the selection of jurors; and I do not remember a single in stance when those present did not con sent, although sometimes I remember when they had the power to do otherwise, to putting on an equal number from tho two elements native and foreign bora. There are certainly jnst as good men, as hottest men and as competent men among the foreign born in this city as among the native born, and many times it is of very great importance that foreigner should he in the jury box. For some un aecoun'aole reason the native horn will not believe a foreigner opon his oath when he is contradicted by the narlTe born ; and in matters of opinion, especisr ly in relation to values the opinion of fhej foreigner is of little or o account in the presence of an opinion of a native born, so that in trials, for instance as to the value of real estate, when men like Ed ward 1.. Frisbte, Samuel Chapman, T. L. Curtissnndll.il. Tech, all good men, testify to the ralue of real estate in Urooklyu, if every man. woman and child in Brooklyn were of a contrary opinion al! put together againt these men, they would he outweighed in the presence of a native born Jury. This ought not to be thus. John O'Xeiu.. Waterbury, Aug. 31, ld!5. CORONER MIX NOTIFIED. SUDDEN DEATH OF A WELL KNOWN YOUNG MAN. Itohert ,T.

When Jean Jacques started to reno vate his orera house he did not for a iiioinerd icidi -e that h- had a nionater project on his hands, but Jean is aceu 1 1 eued to handling such projects with success (.ml always remembers there it no such word as can't.

The P:mocrat wants iis readers to first realize that beauty of the interior before i; attempts to describe it. Through the kindness of Manager !ao;ues. hwerer, and the courtesy of the scenic artit. William I. Hamilton of New York, the PEMOCRAT 1. allowed in descri'rfi the stage settings and the ari-tic work performed by Mr Hamilton. There was no doubt in the reporter's mind snd there should be no doubt in the minds of rhe patrons of tho liou..e. thai it is def of the. best equipped .-;:i.es in New Eagisnd. fH the ilrst place all the old scenery has been reinoxed to the auditorium. Every )iece is new, even to the frtme work. There arc thirteen new sets. The exteriors consist of wood, garden, landscape, rocky pass, horir.on. ancient and modem streets. Ilre is a full palace ret, fancy and plain chambers, prison. kitchen and ofllce sets. The tormentors axe new as are the bor der, and ihe full set of foliage are re markable for their beauty. 'Hie new curtain must be seen to be ap preciated. It is of heavy nlle green plush and the gold embroidery, which is worked on by hand, completes a curtain whi h for magnificence cannot be ex e.'lled. fine may appreciate ir. more fully when it is known that the curtain alone co--, nearly fcl.OOO. The color scheme blends and harmoniie with the colors and decorations of the house.. Tie palace et, which baa never been in the sioek of the houe before, consists of a backing and three ejj drops. It is an arrangement of raiis'ii e marble col umns, draped in richly colored hangings. Ilie fancy chamber i verr light aud delicate, in bhv and gold, fi the Louis t lie Fourteenth style. The gothic is ' made of colors dark and rich, of warm design. A principal feature of the new sols-is that the large number of pieces Can be arranged in one hundred different ways. Ihe theatre can run a whole sea sou without the patrons of the house seeing the samo shaped setting twice. I he electric plan is another important factor. It is the Beron system which has given such success throughout the country. It v. as put in by the inventor and can be marked on tho same principal as j;a.s. 'I lie ushers well also greet the patrons with handsome new costumes. With the utage widened and every seat in the house a good one there should be feii eral saiiatactlou. Artist Hamilton is to remain here another month as he has many little details to complete. He has uccoiuplishad a great work already and Manager Jacques feels as tickled over it as a boy does orer Ms first trousers. -
