In 18H, when Gen, Hurrison died, and Vice President Tyler, Whig, beesme President, the Sennte wis again Whig, and Senator Southard, of New Jersey, a Whig, was elected President protempore. Inthe menn- time Mr. Southard, white holding tht ofllee, died In June, 184, and the Senate elected Senator Wiille 1% Mangum, of North Carolinn, President pre tempore. Prest- dent ‘Lyler ilnatly wont aver to the Democrats, but the Senate, be lug Whig, continned Mr. Mangum tn ofltce until the end of ‘Tyler's term, In 185L, whon Gen. Taylor died and Filmore became Pres- Ident, Congress was fn sesslon, and the Dem- ocrits, being 1n a thajority In tho Seunte, elected Senator King, of Alabanin, as Prest- dent pro tenipore. Moe served until Fille more’s tern explred. Mr. King was clucted Vice-President, but died befure the meoting of Congress, ‘The Democrats, belng a minjor ity In the Senate, elected Atchison, of Mis- gourl, and subsequently Jesse D. Bright, who served out the termof Mr, King, When Andrew Jolson, elected as & Republican, became President In 1805, the Repiblleans elected Senator Voster, of Connecticut, and subsequently Senator Wade, of Ohio, who sorved to the end of Johnson's term. When Vice-President Wilson dlod the Republicans: elected Senator Ferry, of Michigan, Presl- dent pro tempore, aut he served until 1877. It will bo'seon that while the precedents are to the effect thit the political majority in the Senate haye always clected ono of thelr own parly to preside In that body without reference to what may have been the poliics of tho President in offico, there has never oc- curred such a combination of clreumstances as nt present exists, ‘I'he Vice-President has become President, and there ly no President of tho Senate—being equatly divided pollt- feally and having no. presiding officer at tho smo time.

The verdict of a Coroners Jury fs practically meaningless, so far as subjecting any person to a trinl for the homil- elde, ‘Lho Jury may eyon declare hi thoir verdlet that the person was killed by a man named, but tho whole effect of this verdict fy that the —_Indlvldunt charged may bo held until furthor Investigation, “A court may oven upon hae bens corpus discharge from arrest a person held in Jail upon a commitment by the Coro- ner; and a grand Jury may refusa to indict the person designated as the murderor py the Coroner’s Jury, or may indict a person or persons never heard of during the Coroner's Investigation. It is not an unusual (ing for grand juries to -lndict persons for the mur- dev of persons who were supposed to have died from natural cattscs, whose deaths had never been Investigated by any Coronor’s jury. So far ay the Indlctuient, trial, convic- ton, and execution, of persons charged with murder are concerned, tha Whole machinery of Coroners’ Investigation is winecessary, Tho writers who are critlelsing Attorney- + General MacVengh and the tegal authoritles of New Jersey are evidently those who con- foul the powera and duties of Coroncke’ Juries with those of grand Juries, Af itshall be found on Juvestigntion that the laws of the District of Columblado not give Jurisdiction to the courts of that Dis- inlet over cases of murder where tho wounded party des beyond the Iintts of the District, then the absence of w Coroner's Ine veatigntion will in jlowlso take from the courts of Now Jersey any authofity or jurts etion by the State of New Jursey, whorg the Prealdent died of his wounds, .

We suppose there J3 no ivell-proven Ine atance of any man having been tried and con- victed of murder when the person on trial was renlly, legally, and actually Insane; though tie cases are numerous Where per sons not Insane have escaped conviction upott that plea, It has become an almost estab- lished law in this country that where a mur- der has been committed by a person who hns been outraged In his domestic relations, as by the seduction of wife, daughter, or sister, such person cannot be convicted of murder upon proof of such an Injury. ‘The Inw docs not maka such 9 provocation a justification for murder, or even for n lesser grade of ylolonce, but the plea of emotlonal insanity is Interposed ng sort of legal fiction, under which Juries are enabled to Justify the mur. der by assuniing insanity where the law does not admit of any othor leal defense, Without the presunes of ovienco showing the violation of domestic rolations, Insanity Is rarely plended, and if pleaded would re- celye no attention In murder cases, This seoining paradox In the administration of the law hns obtulned its support, and has been strengthoned into an established though i- written law, because of the absence of any adequate logal penalty for the violation of femnle purity or marital infidellty. Emo- tional Insanity has, therefore, been Invonted as njustiicntion for a crime which, under tho clrewmatances, has no legal Justification, No ono bulleves in the truth of the plea, but Juries, accepting the public verdict that the amurdorcd man has been trented ns he de served, accopt the plea of Insanity and acquit the prisoner, ‘Outside of enses of that kind insntiity ts rarely pleaded, aud then only in cases where the trutn of tho plea is so ovident, notorl- ous, and unquestioned that Ifeannot be de- nied, In sitch enses an‘ inquiry into tho hina} ig generally sufliclént to put an end to the prosecution for murder, ‘The cnsu of Gulteau ts one where, from the totul absenco of all justification, legal or inoral, the only defense Is a plain, blunt,” absolute declaration of insinity, It ts no ense of emotional Insanity, ‘The murder was deliberately planned, long concelved, and brutally necomplished, Tho strongest evi- dence of Insanity Is really the boldness with which tho assasination was committed.
