Tho Coroner's Investigations.

Ed. INTELLIGENCER.-A question for
you, and me, aud everyone within the ra-
dius of Coroner Mishler's jurisdiction !:
What private rights has any one suffering
from the death Of a friend, which the cor
oner is bound to respect? The transpar-
ent pretcxt for a grab at fee is no de-
fence the citizen must submit to this
shameless invasion of the privacy and pro-
lection which an already wounded heart
should find in his own home. In guise
of his Office he demands tho right to enter
premises and invite his abettors,
Thomas, Richard and Henry, and view
the sacred remains (unlcss the deceased
is supposed to have died from an infectious
disorder, for then the inquest is held at a
safe distance-say square away. Should
there he any opposition, the coroner has
his remedy at lava policeman is furn-
ished for the necessary protection-the
helpless sufferer being without redress,
must now submit to sec his dear one used
for the purpose of exacting an illegal fee.
Who will define the rights of the peo-
pic and the coroner

ponents erred in not going into the eau
Gus he was anxious to have held.
But it does not seem posi-
ble that he is SO weak. Posi-
bly, he is playing 'possum in the
hope of getting his antagonists to agree
to the caucus in view of his weakness.
If they still refuse to consent to it, it can
only he from their fear that he is a good
deal stronger than he seems. If no eau
Gus is held the probable outcome of the
struggle will be the adjournment of the
election until after the November con-
test is decided. The Democrats will
favor All adjournment without day, as a
new legislature comes in in December
which may be Democratic.
