THE FRY DIVORCE.

We rejoice over the fact thst the more popular
branch Of the Legislature Of Pennsylvania on Sat-
urdsy rejected the petition of Mrs. Emily l.. Fry
10 be divorced from her husband. Horace B. Fry.
The vote was oyerwhelmins-72 to 8. We pre-
sumo this puts an end TO a most unfortunate and
in.advi.ed procedure on the part Of Mrs. Fry and
her father.
There are those who have seen fit to speak Of
our former comments on this case as harsh aud un-
feeling. Without stopping TO consider the fast
that our chief accuser n the premises has taken an
active and leading part in urging the Divorce, we
meet the charge frankly. We have st no time for
gotten that the object OF our structures was
woman. We have only considered, IN addition
thereto, that she appeared in this case as the ag
eressor, the accuser, the prosecutor. Whatever
uneviabe notoriety it gave her was Of her own
seeking. Her amazing letter to her West Point
friend would never have met the public eye had
she been better advised. Her husband had said
nothing, his friends had said nothing until com
PEELED to respond before the Legislature aud the
public TO charges which, if true, would make him
a brute and rufisu, unfit for human companion
ship. Believing these charges wickedy false, and
seeing that they were sustained By no testimony,
but disproyed by much, We characterized their
author, her misjudging father and her case, as We
thought Justice demsnded. This is not the first
time we have felt constrained to denounce emphati-
cally attempt to rush an unjustiiaole divorce
through Pennsylvania Legislature; we shall re-
joce TO have it prove the last. And right gladly
shall we learn that Mrs. Fry and her father, en-
lighteped BY experience with regard to the value
of wealth and Of the social consideration and
political Influence thence resulting or derivsble,
sbal and in the years which stretch before them
Only 8 serene experience OF honorable usefulness
and merited esteem.

by Mr.. Graham. The case is row to be stated
not decided.
But the learned counsel see s to Us to weikes
ard damage bis case when be seeks to put IN an
addition 81 plea Of moral insanity or uncomfortable
frenzy on the part Of biz client. His defense Is
thus made TO resemble that Of the Vermont lawyer
in the case Of the potash kettle: "Please your
Honor, We make these three points: First the
8" kettle was cracked when We borrowed ii; Sec
ondly, i. was whole when We returned II; lhird'
ely, We never had IT," II the killing OF hey by
Sickles was not merely jastihable, but iaudao1e

rstely maintsins-if it were the Judicial execution

face of the community, as be elsewhere so forcloy
urges then i. is quite superfuOus to show
that be wss in a state Of neral insensi-
bity when be did it. righteous and proper act
needs no. the insanity Of the actor to Justify IL II
il its own perfect and conclusive Justification IL
is absurd TO talk of insanity or frenzy IN this
case. when Mr.. Slckes hours after the death OF
bis victim, when his passion should have been
cooled If ever. said TO the reporters, with obvious
int mt that IL should De sent ca Inc HlDss vi tIo
lightning all over the land, he had dishOnored
"me, and we two could no longer live on the same
planet" Nay: we have been assured 10 the same
manner, within ten days psst that Mr. Sickles
does not now regret the killing of Key, but main
tsins that it was righteous and necessary. Here
is bis true ground of defense, which the insanity
dodge cannot possibly strengthen. Either was
right on his part to kill Key, or he stands In peril
Gus position nova position which cannot be in'
proved by virtually admitting that the homicide
was essentially wrofg. SO all attempts to obscure
the point that Key was unarmed, or to sho" that
there va, any scuffle or struggle except BY Key to
