adjudged vagrant by the mayor or justice.
The commiiment shows that the petitioner
was adjudged a vagrant by the mayor. As
the language used in such section very
clearly takes away a right of trial by jury,
can not presume that the petitioner waived
his right II the act denies the right of trial
by jury it is void, and can not be- rendered
valid by permitting trial by jury. The
present statute is very similar TO the original
statute passed in the state of Illinois, ana
which was held to be unconstitutional.
(Shankey Wells, II ILL.,. p. 10 The
and does provide for a trial; and such
amended statute has recently been held
unconstitutional by Judge McAllister,
an eminent judge OF Chicago. See January's
number, 1877, of Western Jurist Several of
the circuit and superior judges in this state
have held the secuon in question void, on
the ground that it deserves right OF trial
by jury.
Lastly. it is observed that section is I'M
constitutional, because it requires the &C
cused to disprove the charge OF vagrancy, or
in other words that if he fails to testify aud
show his innocence he shall be adludged
guilty. This provision Is against natural
rights. The legislature possesses no power TO
require any one accused OF crime to dfsprove
the accusation. Every man is presumed TO
be innocent. and such presumption contin-
uss until his guilt is established beyond
reasonable doubt. The state must atirma-
lively prove the guilt of every one accused
of any crime. Tue accused has a right to re-
main silent He can not be compelled to
testify He has that privilege, but ne. may
not use it. 1t vic ates every principle Of
natural right and jus'ic. to provide that
man shall be adj judged guilty if he fails to
prove himself innocent OF the charge pre-
ferred against him. Under such law no
person. no matter how innocent he may be,
would be safe. In my opinion the section
of the statute under which the accused was
convicted not only conflicts with the con-
stitution of this state, but is against natural
right. therefore hold that .the petitioner
is entitled to his discharge.

Beyond question the English have already
made themselves. by Admiral Hornby's
promp act the masters of the Mediterranean,
the EuXIne, and the sea and straits between,
whatever the subsequent attitude OF Russia
or Turkey. the British Mediterranean fleet
is probably the most powerful ever assem-
bled. Its iToncads alone are dozen in
number, and carry Ill guns. They include
the turret ship Devastation, the well known
Achilles. the Alexandra (h Ig ship), the Pal

and Research. of which the latter alone can be
called comparatively small ship. All the
others range from 3,7T up TO 1862 tons,
and from $500 TO $500 horse power. The
mere number of guns, OF course, gives no
idea of their power, as nearly all are of the
heaviest calibre5. Besides this array, the
feet includes ten fast unarmOred ships-the
Antelope, Bittern, Condor, Flamingo, etc -
with 81 guns. Only portion have gone
into the sea of Marmora, but as many can
follow as are needed. Beyond question the
English have nothing To fear from Turkish
torpedoes; but, even if they had, British
naval supremacy in the straits aud in the
Black sea would be none the less surely
established.
