HOW MIR. WILLIAM SKIES VENT MAD.
There is o case not in any law-bOOk, but
which Messrs. Spencer and Graham undOubt-
edly have heard of, which is SO pointedly
illustrative of the great legal doctrine of Mo-
mentary Madness, or irresponsible Frenzy, or
by whatever name the Great Legal Doctrine
Git has many an alias) may be called, that
we are surprised that Messrs. Spencer and
Graham did not cite it during a late Oyer of
Murder. We refer to the case Of Mr.. Bill
Sikes as set forth in the veraciOus chronicle of
"Oliver Twist" Mr.. Skies, it win be remem-
bered, was celebrated sporting gentleman in
London, who lived by the appropriation of
other peoples property, and who had a mis-
tress named Nancy. This poor, gin-sodden
woman, in moment of pity for "Oliver," be-
trayed Mr.. William Skies, which fact was
communicated to him by great crony and
companion of his, an Israelte gentleman named
Fagin. The moment he received this unpleas-
ant information from the friendly Fagin, Mr..
Skies (whOse tenderest sensibilities had re-
ceived a sudden shOck) "lost all control of
himself" and the following colloquy ensued
"Let Inc ont" said Skies. "Don't speak TO me; it's
not safe. Lot me out, say"
"Hear me speak a word" rejoined the Jew, laying his
manu- upon inc lock- lou WON'T Dc
"Well," replied the other
"You won't be-tOO-violent, Bill" whined the Jew
But when q man has "lOst all control of
"himself," it is of no use to try to stop him.
Mr.. Fagin, however, explained that he merely
wished to caution Mr.. Skies against being
"too violent for safety" With maniac stride,
Mr.. Skies rushed to the residence of the de-
voted Nancy. That he must have been "in-
"sane" is evident from the following graphic
description of his demeanOr in the street:
without pause moments consideration; with
out turning his head to the right or le or raising
his eyes the sky lowering them to the ground, but
looking straight before him with savage resoution his
teeth tightly compressed that the strained jaw seemed
starting through his skim the robber held on his head
long course nor muttered word nor relaxed muscle
until he reached his own door,"
1t is reasonably to be deduced from this
account that Mr.. Skies must have been rs mad
as his counsel could have desired, If haply Mr.
Skies had ever come to trial for the deed he
was about to do. He was mounted so high
upon his injuries he had been so i'll treated by
the too voluble Nancy, that his brain must have
been suffused, that clearly something must
have been the matter with his heart or his
bowels-it was of no consequence which. But
evidently he was in most convenient state OF
Temporary Hallucination. This is further proved
by his conduct Oh coming into the presence OF
the false Nancy. What ne did to Nancy then
and there will be indicated by just one more
quotation:

We have not hitherto urged the passage by

1t is the duty Of Congress to take care that
the verdict of the People be not falslfied by
fraud, as it was in the vote of this State for
President, &C., in 1868. Failing such legisla-
ton, we may have President and Congress
constituted by fraud, and the whole power OF
the Government welded to crush out resist
ance to that fraud. We who habitually suffer
by frauds at elections have now tho power
to diminish if not repress them by an act of
Congress, enforced by Federal Courts, Mar
shals, and District Attorneys. Then why not

Secretary Cox gives, in the letter which we
publish in the proceedings of the Convention
held yesterday by the Indian Commission, a
much clearer idea of the Indian policy of the
President than we have ever had before. The
explanation is doubly welcome because it was
needed, but more because it is an assurance
that the policy resolved on year ago is to be
pursued to the end at least of this Admins
tration. 1t appears that it was the design of
the President in appointing Quakers as Indian
Agents. and in organizing the present Indian
Commission, that the Agents representing
the Government as its COmmissaries and Pay
masters do, and the Indian Commission acting
for the people much as the old Sanitary Com
mission of the army did, should cooperate in
giving the Indians not only justice but kind
ness. We utterly refuse to believe that this
was not at once wise and humane policy, or
to regard the practical view of the question"
which Gen. Sherman advances in letter to
the same Convention as other than fippant
and superficial.

UNMARRIED WIYE.S.

Church and State, in England, have reached
that condition of chronic belligerency belong
ing to most welded couples between whom the
marriage tie is but a name, which no longer
covers any love. Every trife becomes the
text for a squabble, and the hint of a divorce.
Now it is the Irish clergy which threatens to
break the feeble tie, and again dead Dissenter,
whom they cannot bury between them. BY
our last mails we find deceased wives sisters
are the last bones of discOrd. The Church of
England holds that a widOwer and his sister
in-law when married care not joined together
"by God. Neither is their marriage lawful"
Parliament proposes to sanction such mar
"riages when celebrated or contracted in q
REGISTRARS Office" But the difficulty here sug-
gests itself that the Church will not recognize
these civil contracts.
The difficulty for the sisters-in law is to say
the least, embarrassing. TO be married is, for
some women, condition full of woes, and not
to be married, for the majority, condition
more wOful still; but to hover forever in the
Debatable Land-tO be Mrs. Jones, respectable,
with husband and six olive branches, on the
street, and plain Miss Smith again inside the
churchyard gate-is state of being to which

silver lining perceptible in this cloud which
has so suddenly OvershadOwed widOwers and
their sisters is the liberty which is given to
couples already married in this relationship to
choose for Themselves. Those with whom the
experiment has proven successful will no doubt
aceeE: the bill with loyalty the other moiety will
seek relief in religion and rejoice that the Church
has yet st. Peters shears, and can cut loOse az
well as bind. The Church and State, however
find this little matter as impossible for either
to cross over peaceably as the hill-goree was
to the Highland chiefs. otis no that care

Parliament proposes an amendment to the bill
which shall forbid the bishops to denounce

1t is pretty tale of a proposed subsidy
which is related elsewhere in dispatches and
communications relative to the San Francisco
and Australian steamship scheme. The PROPOSE
ton is that the Government shall give subsidy
to line of steamers which proposes to run to a
country where trade with us amounts each year
to something less than $4,000. At first this line
asked no subsidy at all,-it only wanted a
charter. Now small subsidy is wanted. Next,
in the natural order of such things, it will be a
mail contract and ten prices for it.

We are filed with apprehension. The Meth
odist Conference at Memphis has resolved to
publish "a book defining uniform system OF
"ehurch architecture" To be sure, this book
will be binding only within the jurisdiction OF
this Conference; but the hint may be taken by
ecclesie steal bodies at the North, Methodist or
otherwise; and them we may have here thou
sands of churches, all built on one pattern
and that, in all human probability, an exceed
ingly bad one. The effect of this uniformity
would be unspeakably depressing Why there
is some variety even in Quaker meeting
houses. Against the uniformity architecture
even those who never go to church have
right to protest; for they are compelled to zee
at least the outside of the structure, as they
pass upon their lawful business.

The COroner's Jury investigating the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad slaughter have found
that it was all "caused by the disobedience
"and negligence of William Odor, conductor
"of the extra freight train" Turning again to
the testimony of this William OdOr before the
jury, we find him confessing that, after the
collision, he left the scene of disaster and
death, and ran away to st. Paul, "to report
"the accident" But, according to his own
statement, this was not his only motive for
getting out of the way as soon as possible.

The Ways and Means Committee have GER
tainly not consulted the wishes of the people
in forming that portion Of the Revenue bill
which has recently been reported to the House.
By it, they propose to retain the obnoxious In
come tax, which every one objects to paying
and to abolish the tax on legacies and sue
cessions, which every one is anxious to pay.
The clerk, or tradesman, or shopkeeper, who
has large family to support on an income Of
$4,000, cannot afford to pay annually five per
cent. tax on $500 as well as the son of some de-
ceased millionaire can afford to pay one per
cent, once during his lifetime, on large
legacy. The one is tax of five per cent. on
struggling industry the other is tax Of
only one per cent. upon that which the tax
payer never earned. Since imposts must be
collected, in order to make them as unObjec-
tiOnable as possible luxuries should be taxed
in preference to industry.
