The question of what constitutes INABILITY"
Within the intent and meaning of the constitu-
tion OF the United States in its provision to the
elect that in case of = the inability Of the Presi-
dent to discharge the powers and duties of his
Office, the same shall devolve on the Vice Presi-
dent, continues to be discussed This discus
sion. al present, is not conducted in the
View that it is now or NAV become
necessary for Vice President Arthur to as
sumo the Office of President. The subject
Is being considered more in the abstract.
fortunately there are no important duties for
the President TO perform now. His adminstra-
ton has been thoroughly organized and every
thing is working smoothly. Congress is not in
session and viii not be for months The Presi-
dent as ne lies stretched mon his bed. is in the
estimation OF this people. much their PreSi-
Gent as when he was in the enjoyment of vigor-
Gus bodily health. Indeed. his sufTerings
have drawn the hearts of the people nearer
to him. There is no necessity. even
II the Presidents condition was plainly
one of inability under the constitution.
for the Vice President taking the duties of the
ONCE, nor is there any desire for this RESPONSE
billy on the part of himself or his friends On
the contrary, he and they earnestly desire that
he shall escape this responsibility The only
Importance OF the present discussion is to point
out the inadequacy of the constitutional pro-
vision in relation to this question In the future
a case may arise where it would be of the great
est importance to have the conditions of the
Vice Presidents assumption of the presidential
Office temporarily. laid down i'm the most ex-
puelt language and manner.

KENT COURf.-The following are the cases
tried at Court in addition to those we published
last week: State VS.. George Showl. Indicted
for an attempt to commit rape, Verdict
guilty: Sentenced to pay Il fine of $500, whip
ped with 30 lashes, stand one hour in the pill
lory and be imprisoned two years.
State VS.. Israel Loatman. Larceny. Plead
guilty. Fined SIS and costs, and imprisoned
two months.
State VS.. Daniel Jones. Larceny of wheat.
pigs, turkeys, sc. Guilty. Fined $40 three
months Imprisonment, to receive 20 lashcs,
and wear a cOnvict's jacket siA months
State vs.. William Holland Verdict-gulty.
TO pay the costs, be imprisoned three months,
receive ~ lashes, and wear convict jacket
six months.
Moore VS.. Powell, for disturbance at u
school, the jury were out all Thursday hut
could not agree on verdict and were dis
charged.
Peter p Collins, who was indicted in two
cases for selling liquor contrary to law also,
pleaded guilty in one case, and was fined $50,
and the costs in both cases.
All the liquor applications were granted eX-
cept those Of w. G. Fountain for the Rich
ardsnn House" in Dover, James Z. Satteriield
of Harrington, and J. G. Coppagc Of Felton,,
! which were refused.
The CASE OF WN. NEAL FOR RApE-rhe
! Supreme Court of the United States, has at last
! decided the case of the negro man, W m. Neal,
| who was convicted in May last of rape up"n q
white woman. near this town, and sentenced
to be hanged in September. I'm appeal was
| taken to the Supreme Court Of the United
States, By his counsel, Anthony Higgins, Esq
under the plea that the case wa. tried by Il jury
! wholly composed of white men. and thai
therein the trial was not in conformity with tn,
amendments to the constitution. BY the deci,
ion, the Judgment of State Court is reversed
VIM Neal will therefore, have to be trier
again, the decision placing the case in tn
position as though it had never been tried.
Justice Harlan delivered the opinion. Chic
Justice Wait and also Justice Fields dissente,
on the ground that the mere fact that cnlore
persons were not allowed to serve on the jure
in this case did not prove that Discriminate
was made against the defendant on account ,
his race. The result of this decision is that i
all cases where negroes are indicted for rape
the panel will have to be composed in part
colored men, who may be deferred from doin
justice by fear of race prejudice Almost will
: out exception those who knew the circumstance
of the case, say Neal had fair and iInparti,
trial. Whether this decision will affect tt
