long continuous use Of intoxicantso was
the only defense made. In substance
the court charged the jury that "insanity

UNFAIRLY intoxicated, and drunkenness
was no excuse for crime, but it was a
circumstance for the consideration Of
the jury in determining the degree Of
crime" The homicide was committed
on Sunday, about one o'clock p. M, and
the evidence given on behalf Of defend.
ant proved that he had bought pint Of
pure alcohol on the Friday proceeding
and drank it without water through the
next day. "This evidence certainly
tended to prove voluntary intoxication,
and the charge on the subject was rele-

Smith was indebted ON n note to A.

The note was given in June 1875. In
March 1879 a new promise was made in
writing by the husband and wife jointly
for the balance due on the above note.
The chose in action was transferred to
appellee, and in November 1881 this bill
was filed by appellee praying for an
account, and that the lands embraced in
the deed of trust be sold to satisfy what
balance might be due on said note.
Defendant interposed demurrer which
was oyerruled ,andthereupon answered.

the statute, it remains the exclusive

Two Important Decisions.
THE COURT DECIDES THAT A STATE CAN
NOT ACT Az COLLECTING AGENT
THRoraH THE COURTS FOR ITS cITi-
zENs.

WASHINGTON, March 5.--A decision
was rendered in the Supreme Court Of
the United States to-day in the impor-
tant State bond cases Of John Elliott ct
al, against the Governor, Auditor and
Treasurer of Louisiana. These were
suits to compel the State officers Of
Louisiana to apply to the payment Of
the interest and principal Of the con-
solidated bonds Of the State Of 1874 all
the moneys received from tho tax Of
FIVE and one-half mills levied to pay
such bonds by act No. 3 Of 1874, and to
continue to levy and collect said tax and
make such application Of it until such
bonds shall be fully extinguished and
discharged. The court holds, FIRST that
the State Constitution of Louisiana Of
1879 took away the power Of the execu-
tive officers Of the State to levy and
apply this tax in accordance with the
act Of 1874; second, that executive Off
GERS owe duty to the State alone, and
have no contract relation with the bond
holders; they can act as the State directs
them to act, and hold as the State
allows and directs them to hold third,
that the court cannot assume all the
executive power of State, 80 far as il
relates to the enforcement Of this law
and to supervise the conduct of all per-
sons charged with any official duty in
respect to the levy, collection and dis
bursement of the tax in question until
the bonds, principal and interest, are
paid in full, and that, too, in a proceed.
/ ing to which the State was not and
could not be made party; that politi
cal power cannot be thus ousted Of it,
/ jurisdiction and the judiciary put in
| its place The decree and judgment oi

writ Of mandamus prayed for, are affirm
ed. The opinion is by Chief Justice
