'THE JURY QUESTION.
Elsewhere this morning we print the
proceedings of a mass meeting of the
colored people, held, as was said, to dis
cuss the question as to their eligibility
and qualifications to do jury duty. In
the resolutions adopted The Obser
ver is censured, and this makes it prop
er that we should follow the matter up.
In its issue of March 7 th the Daily
Observer stated that the meeting held
yesterday had been appointed to take
place, and in commenting on the matter
we stated that "the object is to secure
itahlfl representation .of their

"Just how they propose to bring about
"the desired end is not stated, but their
"time and energies could be better em
ployed in fitting themselves for that
"important recognition than in holding
"public meetings, the only result of
"which will be a large amount of re
volving and npeech-making, The aver
age colored man's greatest ambition Is
"to run for office, do jury duty and
"vote, without any regard whatever to
"his qualification for either of these.
"Whether or- not the colored men of
"the county have been purposely ex
cluded from jury service we are not
"prepared to say, but there are very
"few in the country who would prove
"themselves Qualified as the law re-
squires, even were they summoned."
We have no desire now to retract a
single word which we said then, but if
possible to impress upon the colored
man the idea more forcibly than ever,
that he alone holds his future in his
own hands. Possibly prejudice may
have had something to do with his ex
clusion from the jury box, but we can
hardlv credit it. and if this has been
the caatfwe verily believe that it does
not exist now, and that our juries are
selected strictly in accordance with
Sec. 229a, chapter 17 Battle's Revisal,
which delares that:
"The commissioners for the several
"counties at their regular meeting on
"the first. Monday in September in each
"year shall cause the clerks to lay be
"fore them the tax returns of the pre
ceding year for their county, from
"which they shall proceed to select
"THE NAMES OF SUCH PERSONS ONLY
"as have paid tax for the preceding
"year and are of good moral charac
Her and of sufficient intelligence."
'.Ve tell colored .men more: The
greatest problem o'f the age is the social,
moral and political condition of the col
ored people. In this county persons of
color commit niue-tenths of the crime
which fills our jail with criminals and
embarrasses our courts. They pay prob
ably less than one-twentieth of the tax
es levied for the trial and maintainance
f this class of offenders, and a very
serious question is: How long will the
white people of the country submit to
that state of affairs?
In one of the resolutions adopted
yesterday tne commission ot crime
alluded to is "deplored," while only a
day or two before that five colored peo
pie were arraigned at the bar of justice
in this county atone fime,tobe-tred for
their lives, for the commission of cap
ital felonies, and while these villains
are even yet standing before the bar of
, outraged justice a colored boy assaults
a poor, defenceless, unoffending woman
within a stone's throw of Charlotte,
on her way to the house of God, cuts
her throat from ear to ear, and leaves
her for dead and she afterwards does
die. If the colored men who assembled
in convention and passed the resolu
tions referred to, are the leaders of pub
lic sen iment among the colored people
that they wuuld have us believe
they ar, let them set to work to cure
the evil to which we refer. Let them
teach their fellows thatthelaw of God
and man must be obeyed, or civ.il so
ciety sinks into chaos. Let them teach
them that there is a degree of intelli
gence and morality, to which many of
them are strangers, but which may be
acquirea in ume, neeaea in tne jury
box, as well as at the ballot-box, and
when they have reached that condition
they may well demand the recognition
which they seek.
we pass by the snarl at The Ob
server in the resolutions to say that
the colored man ha8 no better friend in
this community thauthis journal, and
as an evidence of this fact it offers its
past record. When, by his own
efforts, he reaches, that degree of
intelligence and morality necessary,
and possesses th9 other qualifica
tions required, this paper will be among
the first to recognize his claims. We
desire to go on record that we have
nothing against the colored man be
cause he is colored. So far as we can
wb are willing to do what we can to
lift him up to the level of the duties
and responsibilities of American citi
zenahip, but we shall never submit to
be pulled down to the standard which
'.ha colored man sets up when he puts a
price on his vote, or so long as -he is
content to be led by the nose by aspir
ing politicians who use him to day and
fcicn mm to-morrow.
xn mis movement we can see the
hand of some designing white politi
amend the constitution so as to prohib
it polygamy within tLo limits of the
United States. The act which has pass
ed Congress and now awaits the signa
ture of the President, prohibits itia
the terri tones; but when the territories
are admitted as States the act becomes
inoperative, if the people of the new
States see fit to recognized a multiplici
ty of wives. Gen. Cox's position is the
only logical one and thb only effectiYe
one thus far proposed to meet the case.
As far as congressional enactment may
go in stamping out polygamy in Utah,
where-it has been so long in existence,
they might as well try to whistle down
a tornado, or regulate winter's cold or
summer s neat oy legislative enact
ment. Passing such laws are a very
easy matter, enforcing them is quite
another, and enforcing them among a
people governed as the Mormons are,
yielding as they do such implicit obedi
ence to the recognized authority in the
church, which is supreme, is next thing
to impossible. In this conflict of the
gentile with the "'saint" the followers
of Smith and Brigham, are taught that
it is war of persecution upon them and
their religion, and are further taught
perjury in defence of- that religion as a
virtue and not a crime, and hence they
will have no hesitation in going into
court and swearing to one or . a thou
sand lies to protect friends who may be
arraigned. This readiness to testify
falsely is said to have always been one
of the chief obstacles to enforcing the
laws in the terrritory of Utah, and thus
in many instances red-handed murder
ers, charged with the massacre of im
migrants in the early days of Califor
nia, before the railroad took the place
of the wagon train over the plains and
mountains, and when those immigrants
had to run the gauntlet and fight their
way through bands of hostile savages
were incited to murder and rapine by
sneaking, treacherous Mormon leaders,
escaped with impunity.
We fully appreciate the spirit which
demands the suppression of that abom
inable institution, and have as thorough
a detestation of it as its most zealous
denouncer, but there has been much
cant in dealing with it ; more of a dis
position on the part of many legisla
tors to truckle to a popular demand,
than to root out a wicked and detesta
ble institution. We believed when the
act was under discussion, and believe
now that the true, the best and the
shortest way to get rid of Mormonism
was to squeeze it, smother it out by an
influx of people into the territories hos
tile to it, who would in a short time
dominate public sentiment ami make
the continued public practice of polyga

necessarily tedious. I need not recur
to sensational reports that have already
reached you. Our senior Senator may
return to his seat in the Senate within
a month, or he may never again be

Statistics show that Mormonism
gains about 2,000 annually by immigra

1840 to 1854, 21,911 crossed the sea and
the mountains. From 1854 to 1860,
6,829 were added in the same way, and
from 1860 to 1870 25,000 more took ship
ping from Europe to Salt Lake. The
last decade shows similar results, and
aggregates the nijmber'of immigrants

To the Editor of The Observer.
Salisbury, N. C, March 18, 18S2.
I suggest that if you would copy in
your "Daily" the reports of. the Nor
thern markets, of sahs, bids and offers
of North Carolina htate bonds, and
North Carolina Railroad stock, it
would enhance very much the value of
your "wide awake" paper, .particularly
as a very large number of your sub
scrbers are interested in these securi
ties. To suggest an improvement in your
paper is like "making war in the pres
ence of Hannibal." Yours truly,
s. w. c.
We have made several efforts to get
the reports alluded to and hope to be
able to do so in a short time. At the
meeting of the Southern Press Asso
ciation, Mr. Hueston, the New York
fcgent of the associated press, promised
us that it should be done. We shall
send a marked copy of this paper to
to that gentlman, to remind him that
we would be glad to hear from him in
regard to this matter.
