time, had been accomplished.
Other damage could have been
done, but IS nothing further was
donc, the whole intent was con
fined to that one blow with a pis-
tol. Circumstances, it seems,
were of such = nature that other
blows could have been struck had
Norman been so disposed, or had
his intention been to kill, he cer-
tainly had his victim in his power.
The assault ended with one blow,
when the parties probably thought
there was too much hard work in
fighting and that it didn't pay.
The indictment.was for assault
with intent to kill. This certain.
ly was not proven, because had
such been Norman's intention,
there was nothing to prevent him,
and rs there was no interference
to prevent the act, the intent ia
kill cannot be alleged as having
been prevented. Intent to kill Is
therefore out ofthe question, and
the indictment 10 stripped of all
except the mere charge of assault,
The law in relation to assaults
does not grade the penalty accord
ing to the degree Of the offense.
Acquittal or conviction is the re-
suit. If convicted, three years
imprisonment is the least penalty,
be the offense as slight rs it may
be-a mere slap in the face or a
sudden disturbance in the rear-ii
the trial and conviction OF young
Norman is TO be taken as a prece-
dent. II is an assault according
TO the opinion Of the court that
tried him, and the least penalty
for such an offense is three years
imprisonment.
Turn to the law and see what il
says. After worming around
through q lot Of "ors" in a kind o.
labyrinthine style, and mixing
things up in such a way that pen,
atty seems to be attached to ever
thing, you will find what mai (
an assault criminal and for which
the offender is punished--the Sin
tent to kill and murder, or tC
main, disfgure, or rob another
If the jury did not bring in a yer.
dict of guilty of assault with in
tent to kill, il must have of assault
to main; ifnot to main, to disfig
ure ifnot to disfgure, to rob, il
not to rob, in The name ofcommor
sense, of what did they convict
him? There being no penalty fol
assault outside of these crimina
intentions, as specified in the law
they must have done him up on {
charge Of rape.
1t seems there were some un
warranted methods adopted TO hsr
monize the jury in coming to
verdict. Compromises, it is said
were made in which petition for
pardon and the ,esst number o
years of imprisonment were con
ditions. There should never b.
any dickering in court when
mans liberties are at stake o
punishment for a crime is to be de
termined. If S~juroy is convinced
that the party accused is guilty Of
innocent, he should never permi
himself to be moved from his po
sition to merely affect an agree
ment of the jury in the case. II,
may be right while all tho others
may be wrong, and remaining firm
in his convictions Of right under
the law, he may save fellow be
ing from unmerited punish ment.

Correcting an Evil.

WASHINGTON, September 23d.-
The Chinese exclusion bill was not
signed by the President yesterday
and it is now thought that he will
not take action on it till toward the
end of next week.
There is a very decided feeling
here in favor OF the immediate re-
vision OF the House rules TO prevent
repetition of Mr.. Kilgore's action
in Holding back the Chinese exclus-
ion bill. There does not appear 10
be much difference OF opinion on
the matter, both Democrats and Re-
publicans favor it, Now that it has
served the purposes OF Mr. Cleve-
land, the evils that might arise from
such assumption OF power are so
we'll known that discussion is IN.

United States, 50 far as they relate

The bill prohibits the entry OF any

Cassidy's Position
/ The Lyon County Times says !:
There is no reason why III. f. Bar
tine, the Republican nominee for
Congress, should not be elected by
= majority of $50 to 1000 votes
this Fall. Although the Democrats
have put up their heaviest stick Of
timber, we feel confident that Bar
tine will tumble it down. Mr.. Bar
tine Will maze a splendid member.
He IS a lawyer OF much ability and
intelligence and having lived in the
State from boyhood, almost, knows
what the needs OF the people here
are. He will not be backward IN
putting forward any measure
that would beaeft Nevada, and
although it is hard thing fer one
member ef a State to accom-
plish much in the halls oil Con-
gress, we feel assured taat Bar
tine would come as near securing
for what she is entitled TO as weuld
any man who may be sent to Wash
ington. Cassidy by his vote in
Congress, when there, put himself
en- record as free trader and if he
now denies it, the vote on the Nor
rison bill, which reduced the tariff
on every thing 20 per cent, can be
produced. He talks protection in
Nevada where he wants votes and
when he goes to Washington votes
for any free trade measure that may
come up. Bartine is an out and
out protectionist and for this one
reason should be elected by good
big majority.
