The plea of drunkenness in crimi
nal cases meets with the most deeid-
ell opposition from the New York
Court of Appeal. A man charged
with murder confessed the fact, but
introduced proof TO show that the
crime was committed in a state of
intoxicalion that was frenzy, and
hence he could not have formed an
intelligent intent, nor controlled hls
actions. The court held that "vol-
untary intoxication of one who with
out provocation commits a homicide,
although amounting 10 frenzy,
does not exempt him from the same
legal differences upon the question OF
inten, which are applicable to per

A Mormon Horror.

Some days since, a Georgian
converted to the sinful ways and
practices of the Mormons, landed
IN Paulding county, in theis State,
fresh from the bigamous confines OF
Utah. 1t seems that he came back
to ploselYte among bis old neighbors
and friends, and carry back with him
his converts. In that county his
wife lived, and the wretch took I'D
with another woman as his wife and
decamped for Utah with her leaving
his lawful wife in tears and heart-bro-
ken. He seems to have made no
bones of his business, but perpetrat-
ed the villainy in open daylight and
without any interruption. The law
of Georgia should have seized him
by the throat on a charge of bigamy,
or cruel desertion and abandonment
OF his family, and placed him in the
penitentiary. The Governor of
Georgia should try to reach the vii
lain by sending requisition for his
body, to the Governor of Utah terri
tory. Thi, would test the powers Of
law to punish hrgrant and open
volator thereof. 1t would be an in
teresting proceeding. The deserted
wife should be protected. Nashville

The Confederate soldiers, Homo

EConstitution
The movement to build and endov
homes for the disabled confederat.
soldiers has struck a responsive
chord IN the hearts of the people Of
ooth Sections and both parties.
Men who were prominent leaders Ct
the union arInies-men who give
force and direction to republican
opinion at the north, have Joined
those who wore the gray and mani.
fest a patriotic and eager interest in
the matter. We use the word spa-
triotic" in its highest and most emo
bling sense. They recognize the fact
that the unfortunate men whose con-
ditlon calls for succor are Americans
the countrymen of those who
fought against them-and their en-
thuslasm is whetted not more by the
impulse OF charity than by desire
to recognize that principle of broth
erhood which, enduring as the hills
themselves, binds the American peo-
pie together.
There is no doubt as to the sue
cess of the movement. The enthu-
siasm of those who represent north
ern sentiment has a substantial pur.
pose behind it; and the extent and
keenness of it will not Re without its
influence in southern Communities.
1t has already induced those who in
angurated the movement to enlarge
its scope and widen its purpose
The plan, as ut first conceived, was
modestly confined to a desire to
build and endow home for disabled
confederate soldiers at r chmond,
but the hearty approval with which
the project has been received all
over the country has induced the
central committee, which has direc-
ton Of the matter, to revise the or
ig,ual conception.
1t is now proposed to build a home
for disabled confederate soldiers at
Richmond and Atlanta, and this
plan will meet the hearty approval Of
those most interested. The veterans
for whose. benefit the homes are to
be built are scattered all over The
south, and Il home at Richmond,
however comfortable, would be in
accessible, SO to speak, to a large
number, who are too old to contem
plate placing any considerable dis
lance between themselves and their
present associations.
A home in Richmond and another
in Atlanta would make what prom
Uses to be a most notable American
charity accessible to every section of
the south. There is another view
which suggests itself. Richmond,
during the war, was the centre OF
interest so far as the Virginia army
was concerned, while Atlanta be-
came the centre of interest so far as
the army of Tennessee was concern
ed. These two cities were the keys
to the situation. When they fell
the backbone of the confederacy was
broken. This was due to their sitn-
alton, and this fact has been taken
into consideration by the central
committee.
Atlanta duly appreciates hsr Sc
lection as one of the sites for the
home, and she will show this appre-
citation at the proper time ny joining
with those who subscribe to the
fund. Apart from the selection Of
Atlanta, however, the movement is
one which appeals to the charitable
sentiments of every citizen, and
whatever method is adopted for fur
thering the cause here will meet
with the approval aud substantial
cooperation Of Atlanta.

Beaten at Her Own Game.
AS the Augusta train bowled along
on Its way to Macon last Monday the
passengers in the rear car were con.
slderaby amused by the verbal cen
tiict between an estimable Massachu-
sets lady and genuine Georgia
cracker. The lady had in her hand
a pad of drawing paper and q dozen
pencils ready sharpened Whenever
the cars came to halt she took ad-
vantage of the delay to sketch ada
cent scenery from such positions as
she could secure. There was a calm
serenity and an age about her which
forbade the idea that she was a gid
dy girl on her first travels, and an
alr OF conscious superiority in her
every step and position. Even the
toss of her head, as she smiled and
addressed first one and then another
passenger, was all assertion 80 dis.
tinct as to be amusing.
The tightening artist finally, after
many patronizing glances at lady
in black who, bent with years and
affection, sat near, suddenly said to
her;
"You live in this country, I sup
pose!"
"Haugh,' replied the old lady,
leaning forward anxionsly.
''YOu live in this country, ! sup

The old lady turned helplessly to
her companion, watery-eyed old
mar in faded jeans and a cotsonade
shirt.
"She's leetle deef," said he with
culver in his voice.

said, gazing out of the window.
