eUiTEAU MUST SWING.

Judge Porter finished his argument
fof the prosecution on Wednesday
morning lass. and Jugde Cox deliv-
cred his charge to the jury, finishing
at 300 o'clock in the evening. The
jury Immediately retired to make up
its verdict. The following is the clos
ing paragraph Of Judge Cox's charge
to the jury:
Sand now, gentlemen, to sum up all
! have said to you, if you find from
the whole evidence, that at the time
Of the commission of the homicide the
prisoner was Iaboripg under such a
defect in his reason that he was inca
pable Of understanding what he was
doing. or Of seeing it was the wrong
thing to do--as, for example, if he
were under the insane delusion that
the Almighty had commanded him to
DO the act-then he was not in a re.
sponsble condition Of mind, but was
an object Of compassion, and should
be now acquitted. II, on the other
hand, yOu find he was under no insane
delusion, but had possession of his
faculties, and had the power
TO- know. that bis act was wrong,
aud If Of his own fres-wiIl he deliber.
ately conceived the idea aud executed
the homicide, then whether his motive
were personal vindictiveness, political
animosity, desire of revenge for sup.
posed political wrongs, or morbid de-
sire for notoriety; or, if you are able
unable TO discover any motive at all,
then the act is simply murder, and it
/. is your duty to find verdict as in
dicted, or after the suggestion from
Scoville to that effect if you find the
prisoner is not guilty by reason of in
sanity, it is your duty to do so. You
will retire to your room and consider
the verdict"
When the jury retired a recess was
taken for short time. When the
court reassembled the jury was ready
with the verdict, having boen less
than twenty minutes in coming to an
agreement. Judge Cox took his seat,
the crier called the court to order, and
the jury filed slowly into their seats.
Every sound was hushed, save the
voice of the clerk as he propounded te
the foreman the question. Clear and
distinct came the reply, "We have"
"What is your verdict, guilty or not
guilty 7" With equal distinctness came
the reply, "Guilty as indicted"
Aud thus is the long agony over,
ani the fears of the people that the
jury might acquit or disagree, dis
PEELED. The conviction was every
where received with unanimous ap
prOval. There is no sane man who
believes the jury erred in lis verdict,
and the charge Of the court is also re-.
garded as the fairest and clearest
which could possibly have been de.
livered. Counsel for the defense will
of course avail themselves of all their
rights, as guaranteed in the District
of Columbia in such cases, and there,
by delay the proceedings in their final
conclusion, but there is now no point
of law, no motion and no appeal that
can save the assassin. His execution
may be delayed until July, and if il
is, it ought to be fixed on the I'd u
that month. In the meantime, now
that this beast has been indulged to
the extreme of lis rights, the court
through its officers, ought to discipline
him in a wholesome manner, and
thereby put an end to his ribaldry
aud badinage while in its charge.

Memphis Democracy.
To the Nashville Banner:

J. ~ tue n StSiiNlllc
If you take that unification meet
| ing held by certain Democrats al
Memphis as expressing the Demo.
cratic sentiment of Shs lby county,
you will be misled. Nor would it
be just to take the Avalanche as a
true exponent of the moral tone OF
the mass OF Memphis people. Bat
you, personally, need not be noti-
fed of these things-the marks OF
the demagogue stand out too plain
ly in the columns of that paper, and
in the deliverances of that meeting,
to be mistaken by men who have
watched the workings of human
nature. There are many Democrats
in the city who have proper sense
of the importance of maintaining
the honor and credit of the State,
and with them that honor and cred
it is more sacred than the life of a
mere party. These men are quiet,
attend to their own business mat
ters, and seldom mingle in meet
lngs gotten up by office-seekers !;
but they think and feel, and when
the time comes will vote for those
men with whom they can best trust
the maintenance of the honor and
credit of the State. If the Democ-
racy Of Tennessee stands on the
platform of that Memphis meeting,
the party will lose, and ought to
lose, the confidence of many who
have always voted with them.
l am no politician, and want no
Office, but always vote and hereto
fore have voted with and for Demo
Gratis, and would prefer doing so
again but l cannot conscientiously
vote for men whe are willing, for
the sake of Office, to tarniSh the
honor and credit of the State.
That plea, that we must settle the
State debt on basis that will sat-
isfy the people of the State, has in
it too much of demagogueism. The
mass of the people are in favor of
doing right, provided they know
what is right. But thousands of
them have neither the time or the
inclination to investigate and de-
eide as to what is right in this case.
Really there are thousands who
could not tell if asked, what is
meant by "the 1908 BILL"
But plain men look at the animus
of that Memphis "harmony" meet
ing. One speaker, M. Meriwether
SAID he didn't believe the State
owed anything; and others had
various views between these ex-
tremes. So to save the party and
hold the offices, they agree to har-
on 50-3. Now say the debt
is S27 100000. Mr.. Meriwether. in
order to save the party and the
offices, is willing to tax the people
with $I3, 3,500,000 which he believes
they do not owe; and for the same
purpose, others are willing to make
the bondholders lose $l3, 100000,
legally due them. Now / for one,
am getting tired and disgusted with
that sort of demagogueisn, and
hope the grand old Democracy will
discard all such leaders.

In the North American for April,
Gov. Eli III. Murray, of Utah, treats
of the existing crisis In the political
fortunes of that Territory. Accord
ing to the present method OF local
government there, the minority of
the population, the Gentiles, though
they possess the greater part of the
wealth Of the Territory, exclusive
OF farm property, and though they
constitute by far the most enlight-
ened and enterprising portion of
the community, are practically
without voice in legislation. The
author proposes a drastic yet en-
tirely practicable remedy for these
and all the other evils prevalent i'm
Utah. An article entitled "Why
they Come" by Edward Self, is
devoted to the consideration of the
many important questions connec-
ted with European immigration to
this country. DIR. Henry A. Mar
tin, replying to recent article by
Henry Bergh, defends the practice
of vaccination, citing official statis-
tics to prove the efficacy of bovine
virus as a prophylactic against the
scourge of smallpox. +. l.. God
kin has an article ON "The Civil
Service Reform Controversy :" Sem
ator Riddleberker on "Bourbonisln
in Virginia." and General Albert
Ordway on IA National Militia"
Finally there is paper of extraor-
dinary interest on the exploration
of the ruined cities of Central Amer
lea. The author, Mr.. Charnay,
has discovered certain monuments
which conclusively prove the COM
parative recentness of those vast
remains of a lost civilization. The

THE Supreme court Of the State
has recently rendered q decision
which is remarkable in more re-
spects than one. A man who sold
pool in this State on a horse race
in Kentucky, was tried and con-
victed under the laws against gam
ing. The case was appealed, and
the Supreme court has affirmed the
judgment OF the lower court. The
grounds for this decision are stated
to be substantially as follows: A
pool is a bet. To bet on horse
race in Tennessee Is not violation
of the law, but to bet on a horse
race i'm Kentucky or any other State
Is q violation Of the law of this
