The Marshall Herald says "the Dallas
HERALD is in error in its statement of the
Currie acquitta'. 1t was verdict in direct
conflict with the charge of the judge.
Equally untenable is the statement that ur-
RE owed his acquittal to the splendid defense
of his lawyers. The defense of these was
exceedingly shallow, their sophistry glaring
and of even the best Of the speeches all that
could be said was that they were simply re-
spectacle, nothing more" Now, who said

The Cleansing of Dallas.

TO the EdllOf OF the Herald
Observing the great perplexity respecting
the cleansing of Dallas independent of the
dirty water reservoirs) which cannot be car
ried away, but removed by artificial canals,
the removal of all impurities, animal or veg
etable, | would suggest a plan that was
had recourse to by the British government
On the arrival of our troops at Alden, the
island or peninsula was found to be in II
most filthy state the air impregnated by
the most virulous smells. The medical officer
in charge of the health of the troops seeing
the impossibility of carrying out any plan Of
sewerage, as the soil there is nothing but arid
sand, some ten feet deep, il occurred to him
to suggest the building of klns similar to
those used for burning lime; his plan
WAS Immediately put into execution, the
kilns we're built about a mile from the town,
and the public scavengers were compelled TO
carry all and every kind of otf4l and refuse to
these kilns, which were constantly burning
disn fecting of Itself, in itself, VII fears of
otlense by the fire. Alden has remained since
then ono of our most healthy ports in the
East government. Acknowledging most hear
lily the wise and inexpensive plan, So simple
and beneficial in every way, our military
engineers hid puzzled themselves over the
difficulty. No other plan Of cleansing this
city is practicable, sewerage requiring GER
tain water power to carry off what is washed
into the reservoirs, which Trinity river does
not offer. The effects of such want Of water
power, is clearly demonstrated in Naples,
where tho sewers are carried into the sea,
mediterranean" which sea has no per-
ceptible tide; consequently during the heat
of the day the principal drive of that beaut-
full bay is stunned as apest, for it is sure to
carry the poison into the blood of those that
frequent it, This is too well known, and it is
blessing to the Inhabitants when a storm
prevails to carry off the fifth Of the city
poured on its shores.
| offer these few remarks, having been a
personal witness for several years of the effect
and result of these kilns, both as inexpensive
and also sure remedy.

The City Census.

The enumerstors for the city have about
completed their labors. They have not vel
footed up the names, yet it is estimated that
it will show a population of from 1000 tc
$4,000 residing in the corporate limits. Out
side the corporate line in the suburbs, are
from 5000 to 1000 persons, most of whom
do business in the city, and who are virtually
part of its population, yet they can
not be included in tho city census.
The cnumcrstors will meet ut the court house
Monday and Tuesday, that those whose
names have not been taken may come for
ward and hand them in. No one who re-
ally has the interest of the city at heart will
fail to do this for not a soul within the Inn

TAMMANY, SOCIETY CELEBRATION

We are in receipt of an invitation from
the Society of Tammany or Columbian
Order, of New York, signed by Augustus
Schell, grand sachem, and Joel 0. Stevens,
secretary, asking us to be present at their cell
ebration of the Fourth of July. The invita-
ton says: at is an ancient custom as we'll as
binding duty of the Tammany society, pro-
vided for by an article of its constitution,
that the Declaration of Independence shall be
read once every year at our wigwam. From
1889 to the present day, without an intermis-
sion for ninety years, this patriotic custom
has been observed As the Fourth of July
was the day the Continental congress adopted
the title deed of our liberties, the brightest in
the calendar of patriots has been appropri-
ately set apart for the observance of this
custom. Come then, and join with us at our.
wigwsm on Independence Day to hear the
Declaration read. Instead of an idle cere-
mony, patriotic duty is to be discharged
But yesterday, under the spell of name,-of
"Grant who hailed from Appomattox," tho
Imperialists were marching on the capital
In the eternal fitness of things fratricidal
battlefield was the proper place to associate
with third term. There was grim logic
in Summoning back the memorials of civil
war when pleading the cause of the man on
hoSeback. The shades of Mount Yer
non, :. Montpelier, Monticello, and the
Hermitage seemed to cry out againt
it. The whole dead-roll of our
immortals came back in their ancient repub-
lican simplicity and gave voice and new pow
er to the tradition they had bequeathed to us
against the third term. They prevailed. But
it is an alarming consideration that large
and influential number of citizens were pre-
pared to risk the revival Of monarchical
principles, and that an ambitious soldier
fresh from the palaces ofkings and deadened
to his own better instincts as an American BY
che fumes of European Aattery, was ready te
plunge like Caesar into another Rubicon. Il
becomes us now especially to ponder vel
the lessons and the warnings Of tho Declera
ton of Independence; not only to read j
and hear it read, but to study its history ant
quicken our love for the principles i
inculcates." AS John Kelly, thu
head and front of Tammany.
with one hundred and fifty thousand DEM
ocratic voters at his back, shook hands across
the bloody abysm of fratricidal strife tina
has divided the party in New York, with MI
opponents over the nomination of Hancock
and declared that all differences were healed
all discussions quoted. We can say, all hal
and good cheer to Tammany! We have
profound respect for Democratic organiza
ion that has preserved its being for ninety
one years, and that has never failed during
that time to honor the Declaration Of indie
pendence once year by formal ceremonies
and always by its actions and its adherence L
its principles. We will try and be repre-
sented on that occason, but if not, we will b
there in spirit and rejoice with the braves o
that grand old society that has never know
allegiance to any banner but that Of the Dem
ocratic party.

they believed the testimony of the witnesses
and confded in the skill and integrity of the
experts. Let us note the law: "When hon.
icide is committed by man in state of in
toxication, that is held to be no excuse for
the crime, for drunkenness is no excuse. But
persons laboring under case OF deliriuu1
tremens are not responsible for criminal acts
committed while they are laboring under ar
attack" "In delirium there is disease OF
the brain; in voluntary drunkenness there il
mere temporary disturbance of the brains
functions" "Habitual drunkenness appear:
to be the predisposing, while abstinence is the
immediate exciting cause of delirium." "TC
become intoxicated is the result of desire
not 30 with delirium-no one desires to bring
it on" Acquittals have even taken place OF
charges of murder when there was delibera
ton as well as apparent motive for the act
A harsher jurisprudence with US in Texai
once held that drunkenness aggravated
crime, but now the more humane
and enlightened vieY is to Sc
lit down as an .extenuating circumstance
Mr.. Justice Story held that ."insanity, o
which the remote cause is habitual drunken
ess, is an act done by a party while so in
sane, but not at the time under the inhuenc
of liquor. In cases of delirium tremens, tn
insanity excuses the act" This has for il
basis the early dictum of Chief Justice Hal
that "He who convicts an insane person, re
