He prayed tor forgiveness, for tho reck

who had aboozed him who is now with
us, and parlickeily Ilorris Greeley, who
hud this day in some measure atoned
tor his previous wickedness. He prayed
that the blessius of Ileven might rest,
first, upon tho city nv Richmond, then
upon the balance ot Virginity, and oftert

States, and ho wound up with a fervent
appeal that the Ethiopians, wiuh coodent

uv their ways and return to their normal

After this the President received his
friends.
I a n not permitted to give moro o
the President's plans than this : He
will remain in secloosion, and will take
no part watever in politics until after
his final acquittal in November. He
don't feel at liberty to take, hold uv the
Government so long ez ther is even a
teckniklo charge against him. Our
'rieuds in the Northern States, who ex
pected him to tako the stump in their
bohalt this fall, will bo disappointed. I

THE SOUTH IN 18(17.
The population of the fifteen former
Slave States was a little oyer Twelve
M llions in 1800, and is nearly the same
to-day. Tho heavy waste ot War has
been made tip in part by emigration and
in part by natural uioreasc. Several
S'.ates may have even fewer inhal-itants
than in 18(11), but Texas has many more,
ui d we think thee has been a gain also
in Tennessee, wh"se two principal cities
Memphis and Nashville have grown
very cimiidurably. Assuming the pres
ent population of lho-e Slates (including
Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia,
Maryland and Delaware) at Twelve Mil
lions, wo estimate that it may be divid
ed politically as follows :
Whito Unionists who never faltered 2,000,000
Black uitto 8,000,000
Oiig'l Unionists who became Rob's 2,000,000
Orlgiuul Secessio dsts now loyal S.oOO.ono
Implacable Rebels 2,000,000
This last class is more noisy than
numerous, and eveu more venomous
than noisy. It derives power and con
sequence from its partial identification
with the Five Millions who have beeu
Rebels, but are Rebels no longer. Ev
ery act done, every sentence uttered at
Hie Nor:h, which confounds those who
have been wiih those who still are Reb
els, is grist to the mill ot those who are
at heart as much Rebels to day as they
ever were, and who are fully determined
never to bo anything but Rebels.
This body of malignants are as ready
to-day to burn negro shool houses, insult
the tumalo teachers therein, and assault

JURY COMMISSIONERS.
Tho fact seems to bavo been thus far
overlooked, io the canvass ot county of
ficers, that the Legislature, at its last
session, passed a general law (except as
to Philadelphia) 'for tbo better and more
impartial selection of porsons to sorvo
as jurors.' Tho following is a synopsis
if its provisions t
TWO COMMISSIONERS TO BK ELECTED.
The act provides for tho elcotion,
triennially, ot two jury commissioners,
the first to be chosen at tho coming Oc
tober election, for three years. They
are not to be eligiblo for re-eloction
more than once in any period ot six
years.
ONE OF EACH PARTY.
Electors can only vote tor ono person
as a jury commissioner, the two persons
receiving tho highest number of votes
to b-a declared elected the object
manifestly being to provido a com
missionertioin each oi tho political par
ties. HOW TO SELECT JlWonS.
The jury commissioners are required
to meet with one of the judges of tho
courts, at the seat ot justice, thirty days
before the first term of the Court ot
Common Plea, in each year, and pro
ceed lo select, alternately, from the whole
of the qualified eleotors of the county nt
largo, 'sober, intelligent, and- judicious
persons,' to serve as jurors in the sevt rnl
courts during the year, the names of the
persons so selected lo be placed (as here
tofore) in tho proper jury wheel, thu
same to remain lurked and in the custo ly
ot ihejiity commissioners, tho keys to
bo kept by thu Sheriff.
DltAWIN'O OF JUIIOltS.
Tho law provides that the jury com
missioners and the Sheriff, or any two
of them, shall draw from the wheel
panels of jurors, gr.nd and petit, in the
manner heretofore practiced ; but before
rocecdingto select or draw jurors, tho
jury commissioners must severally take
this oath or affirmation prescribed by law
to be taken by thu Sheiiff and county
commissioners.
THE NEW MODE
goes into operation atler the first pf De
cember next, when so much of any acts
ot Assembly as make it the duty ot the
Sheriff' and county commissioners to
draw jurois, will cease lo have any force
or effect. All acts in relation to tho
custody, scaling, unsealing, locking and
opening of tho jury wheel, and all acts
imposing a penally or punishment on
the Sheriff and county commissioners
tor anything done or omitted in relation
to tho custody or opeuing ot tho jury
wheel and the selection ot jurors, will
remain in force, and apply to the jury
commissioners aud Sheriff.
COMPENSATION AND PENALTY.
The iury commissioners are allowed
as compensation two dollars and fifty
cents per day, and four cents per mile
circular from their residence to the court
house. The jury commissioners shall
take upon themselves to discharge the
duties ot their office under a penalty oi
one hundred dollars tor each and every
neglect or refusal to attend to the same,
to be sued tor and recovered before any
Justice of the Peace as ordinary debts.
VACANCIES.
In case of inability, sickness or death,
or any other unavoidable cause, or in
case oi neglect or refusal to ser.e. a va

empowered to fill tho same.
