Extracts from the final Report of the Convention.
"To prescribe patience and 6rnness to those
who are already exhausted by distress, is some
times to drive them to despair, and the pro-
gress towards reform by the regular road, is
irksome to those whose imagina,ions discern,
and whose feelings prompt, to shorter course.
But: when abuses, reduced to system and
accumulated through course Of years, have
pervaded every department of Government,
and spread corruption through every region Of
the State; when these are clothed with the
forms Of law, and enforced by an Executive
whose will is their source, no summary means
ofrelief can be applied WITHOUT recourse to
direct and open resistance"

came regular, and expressed much regret
at what he had done.
The prisoners counsel commended that
insanity arising from intemperance, ought
not to be COMPOUNDED with the delirium of a
fit of intoxication, but associated with in
sanity arising from other causes, and was
an excuse for any crime. They admitted
that drunkenness was no excuse for crime,
but when it gives birth to insanity, the
maniac should experience all the immuni-
ties of non compos from other causes.
10 which it was answered that the de-
PENDANT kneto that intoxication was produc-
tive of delirium, and hence that he UoIun-
tarity did what he kneaD would derange his
intellect-that mania potu, being a natu-
raj effect of intemperance, could not be
offered as an excuse for crime-that the
law does not recognize in the drunkard a
physical necessity to drink and therefore
holds him accountable for his actions when
intoxicated, and of course in the delirium
which follows intoxication.
The Court submitted the facts to the Jury
without charging them on the law as appli-
cable to mania potu. The jury then re-
turned verdict of murder in the frs. de-
gree.
A motion for new trial was afterwards
made, but the Court refused to interfere
with the verdict"
While we would not undertake to pro-
nounce on the decision of go eminent a
jurist as Judge Story, and the reasoning of
SO eminent medical practitioner as DR..
Drake, as being erroneous, there are diff
culties attending the principle set forth by
them, which appear of no trifing magni-
tude. We earnestly hope the subject will
undergo n thorough investigation, by some
of our professional readers, of the bench
and bar, and of the medical practice and
wish, with one of our esteemed correspond
ents, "thet they would settle the laws of
the land, so that we, poor water drinkers,
may know, precisely, how long a man hav-
ing the delirium tremens, must wait, after
he has drank himself into that situation,
before he may murder US with impunity."

On tho 18th Of February, 1893, an additional
article was signed at Philadelphia, by Henry
Knox, Secretary of War for the United States,
and seven chiefs and warriors in behalf Of the
Cherokees. As this article was the result Of n
distinct negotiation, held seven months after
the execution of the treaty of Holston, it may
tween the United States and the Cherokees.
It provided, that the annuity, given by the
fourth article of the next previous treaty,
should be raised from 81 900 to 81 500; and il
declared that the annual sum was given " in
consideration Of the REIMBURSEMENT Of lands,"
which had been made in that treaty. OF
course, the United States admitted, that tho
Cherokees had possessed lands, on the outside
of the limits established by the treaty, which
lands they had relinquished to the United
States This additional article was a confrma-
ton of the Treaty Of Holston, after ample tlns
had elapsed for consideration,

unqualified applause. Not having been Eortu-

compelled to content ourselves with such ex-
tracts as we find in the papers. The following
