MURDER AND MANSLAUGRTER.
legal Definitions OF the Two Crimes
Degrees OF Criminality.

Inter Ocean,
Murder is defined as the killing of a
human being in time of peace, with
malice aforcthought, expressed or i'm.
piled. The essence of murder is previous
malice and the difficulty in deciding
whether a killing is a murder or not usu
ally hinges on the proof of malice The
nfalcc need not be toward the person
killed, for if man shoots at a and misses
him but kills b, it is held to he murder
because of the previous intent to kill some
one. killing by dueling is murder, for it
is deliberate The possession of Sound
memory and discretion is considered by
the law necessary to the crime of murder,
so that no child, lunatic, or idiot can be
punished as murderer
The only instance where the proof of
malice is not required to constitute the
act of murder, is when the killing is done
in commission of a felony. burglary or
robbery. Ii a number of persons con
spirc to commit an unlawful act, in the
execution of which murder is committed
they all held guilty OF murder If sew.
eral persons Conspirc to bring about the
death of another, all are held guilty,
though ouly one commits the decd But
If one was compelled by the threats of
others against his life to take part in such
act or conspiracy, the proof OF such com
pulsi0n would free him from the charge
of murder
Mans,aughcr is unlawful homicide
without the condition Of malice II is
either voluntary, where there was an in
tent to commit injury, or involuntary
where there was no such intent The
killing of another in the heat of passion,
or undo" great immediate provocaion is
manslaughter. To cause the death of
another through gross negligence, as when
physician or apothccary gives the wrong
medicine to a sick person or when
through carelcssncss of some one EN-
ployed on railroad or steamer an acct
dent occurs causing loss of life, is usual v
accounted manslaughtcr. The gradations
of these crimes differ in different states.
Thus in some states murder is divided
into degrees, and only murder in the first
degree is punished by death.
/ Generally deliberate malicious murder
and murder committed in the crpctraion
of some other infamous crime is held &c
he murder in the first degree, while all
other murder is classed in The second dc
gree, though sometimes the first degree
is Of wider application. Manslaughter in
cludeS SO many grades of the crime OF
homicide that il has been by the legisa
lures of soiuc states divided into Severa
degrees to each of which term of i'm
prisonment, of greater or less length, ha,
been affixed In other states the courts
are left to define the degree Of crime ant
apportion the punishment

The Protestant Orphan Asylum
Natchez Democrat. lOth.

NatCucZ Democrat. 10Th
Yesterday, the sixty-ninth anniversary
OF the establishment Of this asylum for
orphan children. was observed according
to established custom by the meeting OF
the lady managers to hear the annual re-
ports Of the secretary and treasurer OF the
asylum. \ very large number of friends
OF the asylum assembled on the occasion,
which was one Of even more than the
usual qualification.
The exercises OF the day were opened
by beautiful song by the children OF the
asylum, after which an earnest and ferveut
prayer was offered 10y Rev. Mr.. Mounger, OF
the Jefferson street Methodist church The
reports Of the officers were read, which
show an increase IN the number OF inmates.
bat we are pleased TO know that the friends
of the asylum, like the widows cruise, were
kept up to the demands upon them, and
while the managers find their treasury ut a
very low ebb, still their faith in generous
public and in the God Of the orphans,
gives them courage to so forward in their
good work.
After the reading Of the reports, and
another beautiful song from the we'll train
ed children, Rev. r. ;. Levy, minister OF
the congregation B'Nai Israel, of this city,
who had been requested to deliver the
annual address of the occasion, was intro
duced, ard for about three-quarters of an
hour enchanted the attention of the large
audience in beautiful, touching and
eloquent address. We would be glad to
give an extended report Of the address, but
our space f0rbids. To one point alone we
which made us regret being obliged to de-
cline an urgent invitation TO remain and
partake of the elegant luncheon. The
tables were loaded with luxurious viand-
which, from the temper in which we left

were highly enjoyed.

vInces Us that the managers have a right
to assert the claims OF their benevolent
institution on the people OF the State at
| large. Are there not In the State five
thousand benevolent individuals who
would contribute, once for al, the sum oil
ten dollars each TO constitute a permanent
fund of fifty thousand dollars for the en-
dowment of this asylum. III there are in

is certainly charity enough among 1t;
