It. The latest suit In the list was one tried yester

due for paving l28th street. between second and

Untenable.

The Phoebe Record conta ins a piece
Of sophistry in regard to the action Of
juries in capital cases, which will not
bear the test Of close examination.
The Record asserts that the position of
the opponents of capital punishment
10 untenable, because juries who have
scruples against hanging are not
obliged to acquit the accused of muir
der in the first degree, but may find
him guilty of a crime of lesser grade.
and so consisn him to the State Pris-
on. What sort Of %scruples a jury
men have, who are satisfied that the
prisoner is guilty ola capital crime, or
murder in the first degree /; and yet
are able 20 silence their consc ences
and render a verdict Of murder in the
second degree or manslaughter 1t
seems to US that this position of the
Record is the untenable one, if men
are to obey their convictions Of right
and justice, rather than be governed
by their ideas Of expediency. 1t is
not IAN easy matter" as the Record
maintains, for conscientious men to
return a verdict of a lesser crime,
when the evidence in the case will
not admit of such a course without
doing violence to their convictions.
Let the writer of the Record examine
this question dispassionately, with no
thought of revenge against the GRIM
inal, and he will distinctly see that he
is in a false position /; or, at least, he
may lie enabled to see that the oppo-
neuts Of the death penalty have the
best and strongest one.

DocTcRs AND DRreaIsrs.-The San
Francisco Chronicle is latter" those
physicians and apothecaries who COM
bine their interests in such a way as
to compel patients to trade for their
nostrums at the store selected by each
physician for his special patronage;
thus insuring extortionate prices for
drugs, by which the patient is robbed,
the doctor and druggist dividing the
extra profits. In some cases. the ply
stefan has an interest as a silent
partner in the entire business of the
store: and then these robbers of the
sick" as the Chronicle calls them, have
a dead thing" not only on the pa
tents money, but in the patient him
self. These practices, however, are
not supposed to be engaged in or
allotted by the moro skilful and re-
putable physicians, who need to use
no such rascally means of obtaining
a competency.
