justified in killing Larkyns, but differed as to
the form of the verdict, the majority contend
ing for a simple "Not guilty" the others hold
ing for ''Not guilty on account of insanity"
The majority at last carried their point,
and a verdict of "Not guilty" alone
was guilty or not, we are free to say that we
like the moral courage of calling q spade
spadel If these jurors thought Muybridge
justified in staying the violator of his honor
and the destroyer of his domestic happiness,
we are glad to find them frank, at least, in
ayowing an opinion which, of course, upon
the other hand, we deem fearfully erroneous.
We do not think that the most outrageous
personal wrong justified the murder of the
wrong-doer. We deny, and all clear-headed,
right-thinking persons will join with us in
denying, the right of private vengeance. No
apparent necessity, no social inconvenience,
however pressing, no extraordinary instance
of peculiar guilt, no difficulty in obtaining
regular convictions, no evidence of beastly
and almost total depravity, shall extort from
us the admission that what is called Lynch
law is desirable as precedent or in practice.
Neither are we prepared to approve verdicts
of mot guilty" arrived at through the emo
lions without regard to plain and unquestion-
able evidence. We do not think that false
hood is less so because twelve men declare 1t
to be q truth, or because a Judge, greatly
or because the clerk of the court also records
1t as such. When jurors sworn to return
verdict in accordance with the evidence, COM
NIT perjury by giving verdict directly contrary
to the evidence, we see no necessity for two
falsehoods, since one will answer the purpose.
We think, therefore, that these California ju-
rors acted properly in refusing to sanction any
suggestion of an insanity which did not exist
at all. Jurors are under no obligation to give
a reason for their verdicts different from the
reason which really determined them; and if
they didn't believe the murderer crazy they did
right in refusing to say so, and we hail their
refusal as some evidence of securing honesty
in capital trials.
We must accept the jury system with all its
defects. Human infrmity of judgment hardly
permits anything better; and If in criminal
cases jurors please to acquit the VIGOROUSLY
guilty, while we criticise their conduct, we
cannot dispute their authority. If we are to
retain this system of trial, we must expect to
have our sense of justice sometimes painfully
shocked but if indefensible verdicts are inev-
liable, they may best be left to their own real
merits, such as they are, without any attempt
to cloak or dissemble them by substantial
falsehOO0,

The Work of the independent Press.

tFrom the New York Commercial Advertlser.l
The efforts of the Tribune, Springfield Re
publican, Cincinnati Commercial, and other
"independent journals" do not appear to
amount to much in the way of organizing a
third party. The four Senators chosen for the
new Senate by Republicans opposed to caucus
nominations attended the caucus of Repubn-
can Senators held in Washington on Saturday.
Senator Booth, of California, would no doubt
have attended the Republican caucus had he
arrived in time. 1t is understood that Senator
Hamilton, of Texas, will act hereafter with the
Republicans. The "Independent" press, which
claims to be engaged in eleYating the political
standard, and bringing into public life better
class Of men, make q very shabby exhibit.
They give US small-fry political brawlers like
Cockrell, Mcdonald, Caperton and Wallace, in
exchange for Schurz, Pratt, Foreman and
Scott. We cannot see that they ought to feel
proud of their labors. Instead of bringing US
moral giants they have given us pigmies with
out ability, position, or character. The politi-
cal history of the country teaches US that all
third party movements have brought to the
surface men of very small calibre, who in
variably turned out to be great political ras-
calls. The tidal wave of Know Nothingism
twenty years ago swept up from the cutters
more political scavengers than ever were seen
before in public life. The Assembly of 1856
was the most corrupt and shameless in the his
tory of legislation. We predict that the SEN
ators who take the places of Schurz, Scott,
Pratt and Foreman will bring neither dignity,
ability, nor honesty to the Senate. They will
not elevate the tone and standard OF political
morality. We repeat, the 'Independent"
press cannot look back at the past with pride,
or look forward to the future with hope of
accomplishing anything beyond giving aid and
comfort to the bottle and blear-eyed Democ-
racy

illegal tender notes c0RUerti5Ie at tbs option
"of the holder into bonds bearing such
"intereSt as WH make them equal Nth
"gold." This is not Democratic measure.
1t was introduced into the legal tender sys-
TEN of the country by Republican Con-
gress in spite of the most whitening denun-
Citations of the Democracy. Its repeal
which was an act of bad faith to the peo-
pie, was sustained by Democratic votes.
Republicans, like Thad. Stevens, denounced
the repeal at the time, as it deserved, but
the Democratic party never uttered word
of prot est.
To giUe elasticity to our currency and
enable its OolUn1e to become adjustable to
the UGnts of business, is the great financial!
problem of the day. An overwhelming
majority of the Representatives of the peo-
pie in the popular branch of Congress be-
lieve that this can be done by converti-
BILE bond. The vote taken during the first
session of the last Congress upon Judge
KeIley's resolution shows this fact, and
that of those thus voting, a majority were
Republicans. In spite of this the ChroTst-
Gle, with amazing stupidity and Ignorance,
holds the following language upon this part
of the Hunter letter:
ssBut the remedy which Mr.. Hunter pro-
poses and elucidates in the last half column
of his letter, and the one on which he appears
chiefly to rely, is the issue Of United States
notes as a circulating medium, convertible at
the option of the holder into an interest-bear-
ing bond, and the reconversion of said bonds
into notes, as required by the business OF the
country.
"AIl we deem it necessary to say on this
feature of his financial plan at present is that
it is no longer novel. 1t was suggested sew
eral years since by Senator Sherman, the
present chairman Of the Finance Committee
of the Senate; has been thoroughly discussed
by the people, and, as we supposed, abandoned
as impracticsble and unwise. To subject the
volume of the paper money Of the country to
the absolute control of the holders of United
States bonds, thus comforting on them the
power to make money abundant or stringent
at their own discretion, would be fearfully
dangerous.
eff Mr.. Hunter is speaking for the Democ-
racy as their financial leader we now know
what to expect of that party should it uufortu-
nately obtain the absolute control of both
branches of Congress and the Executive De-
partments of the Government"
The Chronicle tells the great body of
practical business men who believe in the
convertible bond that Hunter represents
the Democracy, and that he believes in the
same doctrine For their further encour-
agement to vote the Democratic ticket it
asserts that they will thus aid in securing
their own pet measure. This is giving aid
to the Republican cause with vengeance.
The Chronicle belongs to the class of IN
skilled soldiers who are too lazy to learn
their drill and are more dangerous to their
friends than to their foes in battle.

SERIOUS complaints have been made
lately affecting the character as man and
the efficiency as an officer of Mr.. French,
the Sergeant-at Arms of the Senate. 1t is
charged that he has been discourteous in
his treatment of the desires of Senators,
and that as partisan he is simply useless.
In short, it is believed by some that he is
nothing more or less than blood-sucking
leech, drawing sustenance from the party,
and selfshly refusing to give anything in re-
turn. There are ugly rumors about other
matters in connection with the office,
which we forbear mentioning at this time,
because we understand an effort is to
be made to-day to secure his removal If
one half of what is said about him is true
he should have been displaced long ago.

by Reason Of insanity"

When man commits murder, moved there
to by wrongs for which human justice affords
him no adequate redress; when he kills, to use
the commonest illustration, the debaucher Of
his wife or his daughter, and the soft-hearted
jury, though he be as sane as anybody in the
courtroom, brings him in "Not guilty, by
reason of insanity" the satisfaction which
sympathizing observers feel at his escape is a
little diminished by the fraudulent nature of
the finding. A case in California affords an
illustration. Muybridge was indicted for the
murder of Larkyns, who had niisled Mrs. Muy-
bridge. At first the jury stood five for eonVlc-
ton and seven for aequittal. A second ballot
on the same day gave the same result. Finally
all the jurors agreed that the prisoner was

rHEcHRoEIcLE ON THEHUNTER LETTER.

That eminent political fossil, the Hon.
r. N. T. Hunter, late Senator of the
United States from Virginia, has written a
long letter TO the New York Herald in
which he expounds his views of the financial
situation. The Chronicle worries itself
and its readers with a column or two of
loose writing, designed, in its opinion, to
warn the people against Mr.. Hunters views,
and las it assumes them to be an exposition
Of Democratic policy against the party
which holds such doctrines. 1t lifts Mr.
Hunter into consequence which does not
belong TO him. 1t ascribes to him and de-
nounces opinions that are not peculiar to
either party, but which are held in COM
mon by most Western and Southern
Republicans, and by many of the most
honored leaders Of the party everywhere.
Mr.. Hunter opposes protection, which, we
admit it is democratic to do, and we thinka
good reason why the Democracy should not
be restored to power. But as measure TO
relieve the present stringency in the money
market, Mr.. Hunter proposes "tke issue of
