THE DE RANCE CASE.

The trial Of the De Rance brothers,
for the murder Of Z. G. Mix, which oc-
cupied the attention Of the court SIX!
teen days, WAS concluded yesterday,
and resulted In verdict OF man.
slaughter against all three of the priso-
ners. The trial excited more interest
than any other murder trial that has
occurred In this city fora long tine.
The killing, at the time 1t occurred,
was regarded as atrocious and inexcus-
able, and excited general feeling Of
indignation It must he admitted,
however, that the testimony ELECTED
during the trial modified public senti-
ment to a considerable extent. The
conduct Of the murdered man, even
admitting that 1t was not as bad as 1t
appeared from the feNidence, was not
such as could be defended under any
circumstances. 1t is, perhaps, safe to
say that the verdict doesn't give entire
satisfaction. There are those who be-
Heve that q verdict Of sspot guilty.
ought t0zhave been returned and Others
who, perhaps, compose tho largest part
of the community, who think that tho
penalty of the law, or, at least, ought
to be Imprisoned for life. 1t cannot
be denied that there was some provo
cation for the crime, but we do not
think the testimony showed suffi-
Gent provocation to Justify the rettuc-
ton of the grade of the crime from
murder to manslaughter. According
to our view Of the case the mlldest
verdict which the jury could have rem
dered, under the Instructions of the
court, would have been murder with.
out capital punishment. The killing
was not done under an immediate
sense Of wrong. All the facts which
the accused persons knew on the day
the crime was Committed they knew
days before. This delayed action, in
the eyes of the law, prevented the
crime from being classed as man.
slaughter. However, we are far from
thinking that the jury acted otherwise
than conscientiously. It undoubtedly
obtained an impression from the testi-
mony different from that which we
gained, and II it erred in applying the
law to the facts the error was uninten-
tional. The prosecution it seemed to
US lacked vigor. If portion of the
letters in evidence were forged and If
some of the testimony Of the defense
was false, as was claimed in the argu.
ment, these facts ought to have been
shown. i.ssl1 sg'rs-. q.
The. sentence will be looked for with
interest. The punishment of man.
slaughter is q fine not exceeding $1,000
and Imprisonment not exceeding
twenty years. The law gives the
court wide discretionary. O. Times

THE CURIOSITIES OF NATUEALIZA.
TION: r So
New York Herald.1


Just why John Chinaman cannot he
made a citizen and voter is again set
forth by judge, this time in Illinois.
Section 2l69, Revised Statutes of the
United States, is held as standing in the
way Of the moon faced Celestial. The
section cited says that the provisions of
the naturalization laws "shall apply to
aliens being free white persons and to
aliens of African nativity and to per-
sons of African descent" 1t does not
say. that they shall not apply to
other persons, but the lawyers reach
the conclusion that it means that part
ly by rule of their own used in the
Interpretation of statutes that where
things are named all not named are
excluded, and partly by reference to
the debates in Congress. Only white
men or Africans can be naturalized,
therefore. A white man is a person of
the Caucasian race, and as Chinaman
Is neither one nor the other of these, he
must stay out in the cold till Congress
shall provide for him. 1t is u little odd
that this last authority (Judge Moran)
says there was a moment in our legal
history when a Chinaman could have
been properly naturalized. This was
Mt period when through an over
sight in the revision of the statutes the
words "white persons" were left out
of the above cited section. They were
left out Inadvertently, yet the words
in the form given by that error had
been declared by Congress to be II full
aud complete declaration Of ths--aaw.
and would stand in court as such.
That may be all right, yet how that
would admit u Chiuaman is not, un-
der this judges reasoning, so clear rs
it might be. II the naming of white
men and Africans in certain statute
excludes from the operations of that
statute all men but those of these
races, then the naming of Africans on.
ly ought to exclude all men but Afri-
cans. In fact, it follows from the ap.
pifcation of the ruic that only could a
Chinaman not have been naturalizetl
at the time to which the Judge refers,
but that not even white men were nd.
missible then. Was every white man
naturalized in 1874 illegally natural
lied If he were not Judge Moran's
reasoning is not altogether sound,
though the law has quodlibets enough
to get Il judge easily out Of II hole like
this.
