APPELLATE COURT SUCCESS.
llOMG


Tho Attorney General hAs written TO
the Court Of Appeals for suggestions as
to changes in the Code OF Criminal Pro.
codurc, the result Of which correspond-
once is embodied In tho publication
which we mako this morning orthc ON.
tire subject, SO far ~ II has progressed.
Both the bar OF the state and the ron.
erol public are dj>pty Interested in
many of these suggestions, and their at
tention is especially called to the docu.
mcnt presented, headed "Crimlnal
Laws" in another column.
Tho proposed change as to disordcrly
houses Is good, Tho change of tho con.
junction "and" to the distinctive, ona.
blos the prosecution to mako proof moro
readily but the fine minimum Is too
high. 1t is now from SlOO to $500; and
whilst this penalty might be suitable
for some such houses, yet Il is nj.
together too much for dlsordorly houses
of n very low grade, negro dons, etc.
Let the minimum bo $1i-thc Same
change rs was made in the case of mo-.
gravated assaults. As to rape, tho
Court has made wise suggestions, which
were made by them In the ease they re.
fer to In 10 Texas, of Baldwin vs.. Tho
State.
So AZ to homicide, ombe2zlcment
and the change of Article 6Sl, or rather
the addition thereto. We would further
advise tho insertion OF penalty against
persons throwing stones and missiles
Into cars whilst in motion or containing
passengers, and as IL in crime of great
difficulty in detection, it would no well
to give portion of tho penalty to the in.
former.
The change as to the manner of for
felting bonds and recognizances appears
just littlotoo strict, which would unset
the common law doctrine Of sciro acl,s
entirely.
The change of venue legislation should
DO amended 30 as to exclude misdr.
meanors definitely. leaving folonles
only. The changes as to reversal of
Judgment aud charges OF courts are well
advised and Statutory amendmonts-too
obviously 80 to require comment.

SUPPLEMENTARY POLITICAL


SAVANNAH, oct There was no OPP
position to the state Democratic ticket.
maj few counties the Republicans had
candidates for Senator and Representa-
t,ves. The Republicans, however.
elected only one or two of their candi-
dates : Is estimated that the whole
vote of the State, including the Republi.
can vote Tor members of the Legislature,
Is about 100000. Tho Legislature is
overwhelmingly Democratic In both
branches. The United States senator
shlp was not an issue and tho temper.
anco issue cut no figure In the election.
BROWN Is ALL RIGHT APPROXIMATIONS.
AUGUSTA, Oct. o. The Ierisla.
ilre just elected will return Joseph n.
brown to tho Senate. Tho Indepond.
ents were defeated In Burke, Green ana
other strongholds. In several counties
IN this section the Prohibition ticket
was generally successful, but creating
no Democratic division. Prohibition i'm
ono form or another exists i'm 10 of M
counties Of the State.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1884-10-03

well as the practical workings of the
Criminal Code in Texas very markedly
dictate.
In the first place, defendants in
criminal cases should be permitted to
testify or not, as they please. The
United States courts have adopted this
course under the statutes, and nearly all
the States have done the same. There
is not parent who chastisos his child
that does not first hear his story, and in
many instances the accused can give
light upon points that can be obtained
from no other source. The united voice
OF the Dallas bar counsels this course.
We think, too, that burglary should
be made capital oflenso when the party
is caught with deadly weapon on his
person, which he had Mt the time ofcom-
hitting the oilense. In such case if
the party whose house was entered
awoko he would be killed because the
burglar was prepared to kill him on re-
sistance, and il unarmed could commit
his design Of rape or any other crime
with impunity. The party waking from
slumber would have no showing what
ever.
AS to the offcnsc of using cloud and
vociferous language, cursing," etc:
This is simply tub-mlll for Justices of
the Peace, County Judges and officers.
Now, every time there is negro quar-
rel the county is saddlcd with "A whole
batch of costs imposed on the people for
inning lot of miserable creatures for
"Jawing." Tho law should be changed SO
aS to make It impossible for County
Judge or Justice to misundcrstand and
to convict for private "mssing" and nui-
sances, In which the public at large are
not Interested, and which are too CON
tcmptiblc to be noticed by State laws.
Again, we would suggest the utter and
Immediate abolition of the fec system
so that 1t would not be possible for the
needy official to replenish his pockets
on Saturday night by casting his drag
net and landing on his docket a lot of
recruiting costs from the petty oiIonses
Of the dcbased clements.
We might go further ana suggest "A
change as to the timo in which state
mont of facts or recognizance for appeal
should be extended. Ten DAYS is too
short time for the preparation of
statement of facts, Sixty days should
he allowed, when we consider the hurry
and confusion incident to the winding
up of a court torn. The right of appeal
Is ono OF our most sacred rights, and in
all misdemoanor cases the defendant is
required, frequently just at the termina-
ZION of his case and before the adjourn
ment of the court, to enter into recogni-
zance for appeal to the Court of Appeals.
lie should at least he allowed the same
time ms in civil cases twenty days
Perhaps other amendments may be
hereafter suggested, TO all Of which we
invoke the attention of our legislators
now in the oven Of popular incubation.
