VOLUME XXVI. HAKEISBUKG, MONDAY EVENING. JANUARY 9, 1882. IIUUBEB 73; MUST EDITION HOMB AND FOREIGN NEWS, AH MATH USD PROM THE TWO HEMIS PHERES. of tbi Argtuntnt on thi Law Poind fho Guiluu Cue Mr.

Rui OImu ud Bii Ool lueni Mr. Swills Eigioi Hit Arfomint, Which It Saipindod bj adjournmttf. in AKOPINO THW POlNrS la the (initaan case Vol. Bed Concludes and Mr. scoville Opens.

Washington, Jan. 0. In his argument in behalf of the law point of the defense la the course of which our report clof ed on tkturdavl Col. Reed said that in the Umiioue, la Massachusetts, it was de tided that if the insanity was made out by tho wtlalit of the evidence, the accused hhould acquited. But the courts have advanced from that ground, and the doc trlno now held is that if there is a reason able doubt of canity of the accused he is entitled to an acquittal.

Mr. Reed then oiled a number of cases, in which the judge chnrgod to this effect. At this rolnt Mr. Davidire called atten tlnn to the fact that the prayers in behalf of tlo defense spoke of the burden of proof In rtsncct to insanity, treating it generally. In any.

event, his Honor would define it by sroikin: of doubt in respect of the legal utamlard of responsibility, and would indi c.Vo what wa9 meant by "reasonable doubt." Mr. llced. I a jmit that it will be your Honor's duty to tell the jury what "reason nblo doubt" is. The question of what con stitutes Insanity we submit is a question noli' I for tho Jury. Tho Court.

The question of responsibility li for tho cjurt; the question of fact for the jury. Mr. Pavidge (to Mr. Scoville). Toucan not tumble this question of insanity into the jury box.

The court will say what is legal lu'anlty. Mr. Rood. Your Honor will giro your vlows as to what constitutes insanity; but who' her this defendant was of sound mind or not, 13 a question for the jury. Is there any argument made against the reasoning of Judjio Reese, in Illinois; Judge Bellows, in Now Hampshire, and Judge Chalmers, of Mississippi? Ought not that to be the law? It would be monstrous and shock ing to tho sense of justice of any min that an accused should: be condemned to the gallows about whose sanity any reasonable, fair man could have any question.

In this caso, all we ask is that your Honor shall say to tho jury, describing to them, explaining to them what is meant by a re a soniblo doubt: "If you, on your oaths, bavo a reasonable doubt of the sanity of tho accusod at the time he shot the President, it is your duty to give him the benefit of tint doubt and say he is not guilty." Mr. Scovi'lo rose to close the argument in support of the prayers asked by the defame, hut first commenced on the absence of tho jury which had availed itself of the pi ivllcRO given by JudgeCox in the morning, and Lai not returned to the oourt room after tho roocss. He said that he did not complain of i but it was one of the incidents of the trial which he oould not help noticing. They heard Mr. Davldge's argument and Mr.

Porter's speech this forenoon; are not here this afternoon to hear th3 argument of counsel for the defense, and will ba hero to morrow to hear the closing argument for the prosecution. Meson. David go and Porter denied that it was attributable to the prosecution. Mr. Bcovllle then went on to argue that the court should not take from the jury the right to paEs upon the question whether tho prisoner would have committed the act If ho had been of sound mind, and he saw that tho decisions, according to the M' Naghton casa, were just as antiquated as Mr.

Porter's style of oratory. They bad both started at the same time. "That la a very good point," said the prisoner laughing. Mr. Boovillo went on to say that the only way in which courts had advanced, at the present day, was by the force of enlightened public opinion crowding them out of tho old ruts and obliging them to abandon those precedents which common sense, common reason and enlightened publio opinion say shall no longer be as soi ted lu courts of justice.

He then re forroi to a modern English case the (X'locn against Davis reported in 14, Cox's Criminal Cases, page 0S7, in which tbo iudgo charged the jury that while drunkenuoss was no excuse for crime, delirium tremens, caused by drunkenness, might le an excuse, if it produced such a Btato of mind as relieved the mm from responsibility. Tho language of the judge in this caeo is: "Any disease that disturbs the mind so that a man cannot think calmly aud rationally of all the different reasons to which wo refer in considering the rightness or wrongncss of an act any disease that so disturbs tho mind that it cannot perform that duly wilh some moderate degree of calmness and reason may be fairly said to prevent a man knowing that what he did was wrong." If your Honor, continued Mr. Scoville, will charge the jury like that la this caeo, we shall be very well satisfied. Without concluding his argument the court, at 3 o'clock, adjourned till to day.

PUBLIC PBIltTGR DSFREIS SPJSAKS HIS MIND. Washington, Jan. 9.

John D. Defrees, Public Printer, is out in an open letter ad dressed to Senator Plumb. An article was published here the other day in which Plumb was made to say, upon meeting De frees in New York: "What's tho matter. old man You are net to affable when I meet you in Washington. You must want something You're too late: I can't do anything jou." Mr.

Defrees having laued to get a satisfactory denial irom sen ator Plumb, in his open letter says: "You stand before all honorable men self convicted of having falsely boasted that you had grossly insulted, without cause and in a manner becoming the lowest blackguard, a man almost thirty years older than your self. I am very sure that these acquainted with me will regard the paragraph as a lie on its face, as they know that 1 do not cringe to any one and that such an insult would have been resented by me on the THIS PARDON BOARD A NECESSITY. What Judge Black and. Kx Governor Cmtln xninic ADont it ine raraon or wm. u.

KtmbM Justified. Pittsburg Correspondence of tlig Philadelphia jl lines, At the recent gathering of constitution makers in this city discussion arose as to the workings of the various provisions of the new Constitution, and among others the section establishing a Board of Pardons was specially discussed, in view of the pub lic criticisms relative to the pardon of the legisiauve bnbers. Judge Black in his remarks safd: I was counsel for the Commonwealth in the case against Kemble and felt a deep solicitude as to what should become of it. When this case was acted cn by the board I was in Scotland, and when I heard of it I thought of what Sydney Smith sa'd at the time Pennsylvania failed to pay inter est on her bonds that tho proper thing to do when any American came to London would be to catci him, throw him down, take away his pecket book and clothes and London guide, sail the Aot and apply the proceeds payment of interest cn Pennsylvania bonds. I felt that might happen to me when I went back to London.

But I remembered that the Attorney General was on the board, and I had faith in him and that he would not do anything wrong or allow the rest to do it, and therefore as soon as I got home I made particular inquiry as to the reasons for the action of the and I now say publicly as I have said before that I was and am perfectly satisfied with their action. If I had been on the board I should have voted to remit Kemble's imprisonment. When holding the office of Attorney General I practicallyexercised the pardoning Sower of the United States, and I remem er that 1 pardoned a man sentenced for a high Crime on substantially the same ground as the S3 on which the board relieved Kemble. Ex Governor Curtin said: "The Pardon Board is a necessity. I would not have the office of Governor if obliged to hear applications for pardon alone.

It is too much for any man to endure. He can have peace and oomfort neither day nor night. Furthermore, it is a great hindrance to fraud. I once granted a pardon on records, letters and petitions, all of which turced out to have been forged. Without publicity and an opportunity to oppose, great abuses must exist in the exercise of the pardoning power, no matter how exacting a Governor may be.

I was an advocate of the creation of a board in the convention, and reported it from my committee, and I am satisfied with it3 workings. The number of pardons granted have been reduced very largely, and very few, if any, now get through fraudulently. As to the Kemble matter, I have to say that Governor Hoyt did peifcctly right in remitting that part of Kemble's sentence which the law did not impose. If I had been in his place I would have dona as he did." KibEKOK. Thk Pope will go to Malta.

It provides that sentence of death shall not be executed until thirty days after the beginning of the next term of court succeeding that at which sentence is pronounced. Senator Plumb, of Kansas, may be said to have a i welled head, figuratively speaking, since his journalistic encounter With Publio Printer Defrees.

A rew Remarks Concerning Labial Von fecttoaa." A person" who has made the feminine mouth a study, volunteers his conclusions to males with sweethearts. They are as follows If her mouth is very small there is not much mind, but overmuch shallow sentiment. If she possesses a very large mouth she possesses a good brain, but the trouble is in kissing i. Largo mouths put a man to an artistic test; be will ba driven to his wits' end whether to begin at one corner and conclude at the other, or to make a heroic dash at the middle and endeavor to reach both corners. But if you are a kissing artist it can be cov ered nicely enough, li your sweetheart hat a coarsely formed mouth she will be full of strong, coarse points of I character, and raise a tow in the family.

If she has a delicately formed mouth, with rounded lips and or a velvety color, she will have much sensibility and perfection of character, but not astonish by her brilliancy of canceptioa or execution. It is a good mouth, because it is kiss able and submissive. Shun blue lipped or thin lipped women, they will bore you to death with literature or woman's rights theories, while you want your dinner, or spoil your temper with led hot scolding tongues.
