Citizen: Coyler Hall. indicted for killing
his stepfather, John OFerrall, in this
county nearly twenty-six years ago was
tried in the circuit court here Wednesday.
This was perhaps the most remarkable
criminal case in the history of the state.
The defendant and four of his brothers
were Indicted for the killing shortly after
IL occurred. All of them except COyler
Hall are dead, but some of them lived and
died in this county, or near its borders,
and no arrest was ever made till last sum-
mer, when Sheriff Smith of this county
found the old indictment on file. and loca-
ted Coyler Hall on his farm near Mobile,
Ala, not fifty miles from where the kill
ing occurred. He had resided there for
for more than twenty years, and was one
of the most prosperous and respected ciu-
zens in that vicinity. None of his neigh
bors suspected that he had ever been
charged with crime. Another remarkable
feature of the case was that after his ar
rest every important witness to the killing
was found alive, though very old. All Of
them, except one, who is very sick, testi-
fed at the trial Wednesday. The three
principal witnesses. one of them the
widow of the deceased. testified that
O'Ferrall was shot down in broad day
light, near his home, and in their presence,
by COyier Hall and his brothers, and that
after he was dead Coyler Hall ran up to
his body and cut his throat. Hall was
represented by w. A. Blount of the local
bar, and State Attorney Milton was as
sisted by c. NJ. Jones in the prosecution.
The killing was not denied, but the de-
PENDANT claimed that his life had been fire.

DRY of the killing had faded from the
minds of most people, but the arrest of
Hall last summer, his present prominence
as citizen, and the peculiar circum-
stances of the case. aroused the greatest

was crowded. At late hour Wednesday
night the jury returned a verdict of not
guilty.

Mexico is doing business on q
silver standard. AS that country
adjoins the United States, this
country may gain a valuable les
son from the effect of the silver
standard upon that country, and
judge therefrom whetherit would
be advisable for our country to
abandon the gold standard.
The following editorial, from
"The Two Republics" leading
Mexican newspaper, would seem
to indicate that the free coinage
of silver has been, and is, bene-
fit tothat country
1--WE consider the silver stan
dard a blessing for this country,
and we do not prefer the gold
standard for Mexico. We do,
however, prefer 1t for the United
States, for the reason that our
interests and our welfare are now
bound up in this republic, and il
is to the interest of Mexico that
the United States continue on its
present basis. The advantage
which otherwise might accrue to
that country, now is commencing
to come to this. While the one
Is standing still, or retrogressing
the other is forging ahead at a
tremendous pace; and that pro-
gress, though it might not be
altogether stopped, would re-
ceive serious check were the
United States to make a change
in it's monetary system.
I'VE found our faith on what
appear to US to be substantial
reasons. We consider the silver
standard a blessing for Mexico,
because

which is not constantly apprecia

tBoiss statesman.l

ut lSe law SbnSbSu ny oiiS iooo
session of the legislature has
been declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court. A unani-
nous opinion, prepared by JUS
tice Quarels, was filed yesterday. |
Moreover, the decision lays down
such requirements respecting the
procedure to be observed in
passing a bill that it is ques-
ton if a great many of our laws
are not oIen to the same objec-
tons wich vitiate this measure.
There are five points laid down
which will attract special atten-
ton. They are /:
First. That the court may go
back of the enrolled bill to de-
termine whether or not it has
passed constitutionally.
Second. That the journal must
show affirmatively that every re-
ouirement of the constitution
has been complied with.
Third. That the provision of
the constitution respecting the
reading of bills cannot be sus-
pended for first and second read
ing excepting upon an aye and
may vote with respect to each
separate measure.
| Fourth. That the provision
of the constitution be suspended
at all excepting in case of urg-
england the court illustrates
urgency" with the suggestion
that it would arise in case of in.
surrection.
Fifth. That a bill which is
amended after passing from the
house in which it originate /,
must be treated as a new bill,
with respect to reading on three
separate days, when it is return
ed to the body that first passed
it.
Every reader familiar with the
methods of our legislatures
knows that those bodies have
held urgency to apply to any
bill which they were iii a hurry
to pass. 1t is also we'll known
that the requireme 1t respecting
suspension TO do away with the
first and second readings in full
is often if not always not com
piled with, and that an amended
measure is not treated as an or
: iginal bill. With respect tc
amended bills, there is a saving
! clause in the decision indicating
: that 1t would apply only to
measure that had been ''materi
: ally amended.
These Irregularities have ex
listed ever since the organization
of the state government, AMI i
will readily be seen that mos
important laws may be open t.
successful attack on thes,
! grounds.

t ion is handed down is that o

THE DECISION.
After quoting section 10, arti-
Gle 3, of the constitution, the
opinion says Il
1T is commended by the appel
liant that the provisions of said
section of the constitution were
not complied with by the legis-
lature in the passage of said act.
The respondent contends that
the presumption is that the legis-
lature complied with all of the
provisions of the constitution and |
that the court cannot go back of
the enrolled bill for the purpose
of ascertaining whether the pro-
visions of the constitution were
followed or not.
Upon this question there is
some conflict of authority, but
the great weight of authority
and the scundest reasoning sup
port the rule that the court not
only may, but it is the impera-
tive duty of the court, when this
issue is before it, to look to the
journals of the legislature and
see if in passing the statute in
question the legislature have
proceeded in the manner provid-
ed by the constitution
X
I'm constituting said section of
the constitution, it is necessary
to inquire into the extent of the
application of the proviso which
we find therein, viz:
} "In case of urgency, two thirds
of the house where such bill may
be pending may upon vote of
the yeas and nays dispense with
this provision. A careful read
ing of the section shows that
that part of the section which
precedes the proviso consists OF
three separate clauses disjunct-
lively stated. The first clause
relates to the introduction of the
bill. The second TO the printing
! of the bill. The third to the
reading on three several days
We are of the opinion from the
context, from the conditions
l which the trainers of the consti
: tuition thought might arise, ant
$ from the apparent object which
q they had in view, that said pro
: viso applies, and was only in
tended to apply, to the last CLAUSE
) preceding the paoviso.
e ut was not intended to auth
; orize the legislature to dispens'
!, with the introduction of the pro
e posed law by bill, nor was it in
/ tended to authorize the legiSla
q ture to dispense with printing
the bill.
e 1.-The trainers of the constitu
IS ton evidently intended by sait
e provision to put it in the hands
y of the legislature in case of nee
y essity to act promptly, to pass ;
n bill in one, instead of not les
g than six days, and we can mag
e ine case where such urgenc
IL would exist. For instance, al
J. instruction should take plac
"a and in order to quel it an apprc
r pric ton should promptly b
o made, or the executive should b
g given some power not then give
g by existing law, or it should b.
necessary to forthwith enlarg
1 the militia.
1.-THE object of requiring tn
{ printing and three several read
n ings on separate days is goo
IL one. 1t was to insure the right
50 and interests of the peopl
70 against hasty and inconsiderat
90 legislation. The people in NAL
ing and adopting the constitutio
$ were not content with requiring
d the printing and reading on
,. time only of bills, but have at
Ia solutely required that all bill
u shall be read on three sever;
