The following extraets from the
speech Of Hon. Alex. K. M'Clure
delivered in the Senate on March
1 . 2 th., in reply to Senator White will
relay persu aI :
f the ,tienator distrusts my earn-
Lostness of purpose, he shall see, not
merely by my professions, but by
my votes and acts, that political par
tiality will not make we shield any
organization that pollutes the ballot.
Neither by stealth, nor otherwise
shall election frauds be encouraged
or sustained by me. And I can say,
furthermore, to the Senator from In
diana, without fear or contradiction,
either from himself or others ; that I
have never aided or sanctioned a
fraud noon the ballot. I have shared
the comidenco of the councils of the
party for which he assumed to speak.
I ha - ye beta/ in the Innermost circles
oh its management when it required
the most exhausting efforts to main
tain its supremacy. I have aided, in
litr.l');... way to direct sOine of its
important strulgies, and I dial-
I-nge the world to stain my skirts
ith conceiving, executing or even
Cl•inV an election frauil. In 18G0
I was, without my own elicitatnr,
Hiargeti with the direction of the Re
pahliean campaign in this, the con
trolling State of that great National
conflict. When it had' been fairly
won, there were those about me in
Philadelphia who were not content
ith the hottest fruits of the tri
umph, awl they stained it with
trawl. In the first council held after
that re.ollt, I not only demanded, but
e•anpelled the frAudutent return to
Ise expo-zed. and the author 61 it was
condemned to the felon's cell.
And, sir, in the later days of the
Republican organization, the Sena
tor well knows, that in councils
where he was himself a party, I pro

that I had bt.en consistent in urging

too was a votary of ambition, and
became a willing, superservictAble

owo preferment, whispered the story
of advancement into his ears. If I

to personal promotion and profit. 1

plaint was made in 1871, hut he
4 0;1 .4 8 that "we 'waffled the act of
1872." It 1 recollect aright there
was mime o ilplaint in IS7I. A Re
publican district that in ordinary
elections contains the whole Repub
lican majority of the city, and 'e;gl,.
bracing a very large portion of its
most Intelligent citizens, did com
plain in terms which the Senator
did not fail to, hear. In the special
election contest ofJanuary,B 1872, the
.modification of the regiStry law was
tine overshadowing issue, and the
Republican organization was square
ly defeated by the Republican peo
ple. I speak to-night to reflect the
uajesty of that verdict. He labored
earnestly and unscrupulously to rah
it orits succes:s, but he failed, and
fAiling to defeat it, he affected to de
fer to it. Had he done so manful
ly, he would have spared himself
the unequal conte s t he has been corn
_ pelted to accept to-night unequal
because his • position is without de
fense. But instead of giving an hon
est amendment of the registry law,
Ire gave the people an ingenious
mockery, a fraud, a lie. Another
statue clothed in plausible langua g e,
cunningly framed -to deceive the un
suspecting, was enacted as an amend-
Merit, hut its studied purpose was
rather to increase wrong than to re
strain it—to disarm the citizen and
then assail him. I stated in my re
view of the registry law a week ago
that it denied the courts all judicial
power to maintain the rights of citi
zenship. I repeat that, declaration
now. The act of 1872, while appear.
ing upon Its face to afford a remedy
in the courts for disfranchised citi
zens, in every way practically de
nied it. Had the Senator front In
diana,, who bore a conspicuous part
in that double fraud upon my cou
stituents, presented the whole truth
to the Senate, not one could misun
dertand it. He points with an air of
triumph to the act of 1872, and in
sists that the law means to protect
thecitizens of the courts. He knows
better, and he knew better when he
aided In the passage
of the law. To
`the casual reader he appears to be
right, but by the cunning arrange
meat of wads, to be taken and con
strued in connection with the net of
18.89, the whole remedy Is practical
ly aemeayed. The eanvaesers can
stake off names on tite eighth day
before the election. Under the law
they can strike off names from the ad -
ditional registry without notice, and
they have..--a ss umed to strike off
thou.sands - even in violation of the
provisions of the law, for they can do
so with impunity
With canvassers, most of whom
are unscrupulous or corrupt, this
dangerous and unrestrained power
has been most fearfully exercised.
And what is the art of 187 V It al
lows nn appeal to the courts, if ap
peal is made three days before. the
election, and then twenty-four hours
notice must issue to the canvassers.
Thousands of names are stricken off
without their knowledge, and not
until they proceed to the 'Mils do
they discover that they have been
disfranchised and entirely without
redress. Hundreds of disfrancnised
citizens came under my own obst-r
-vation last fall, under the act of 1873.
and the aggregate in the city of
Philadelphia amounted to thousands;
but not one name was tettored by
the courts. I challenge the Senator
to name a single ease where his
boasted act of 1872 afforded a judicial
remedy. It is not an accident fraud
' —it in a master-piece sf deception, for
it is as false in its appearance of jus
tice as it isabaoluie in its denial. .
I can give the Senator a very point
ed illustration of the operations of
theregistry law as executed in Phil
adelphia. I have been a resident of
the city for five years, and have-lived
during all that period within two
squares of the place I first resided.
I was known, I believe, to every
citizen of the precinct, but last fall
ny name was stricken from the reg
istry. By accident, I ascertained it.
I applied to the board oi my old
precinct and was certified as a regis
tered voter. Upon it I was register
ed anew, but before an hour, the new
, hoard reconsidered and struck my
name off again. I was again advised
of it, and made at journey of four
miles to have it corrected. They did
- not dispute my qualifications as an
elector, but a grave legal difficulty
had arisen. They questioned the
right of another hoard to certify
what they knew to be true—that I
was a qualified elector. They had
learned of the Senator from Indiana
that they might quibble where they
I could not meetahe truth, and they
! proved apt scholars. I ask them to
name any judge in the vicinity
! whose opinion they would respect.
• Fortunately several judges lived in
! the immediate neighborhood. They
could not, with any decency, refuse
the offer, and they named a judge
who promptly . ordered them to reg
ister my name. They then conde
scended to pitteeany name on time iist
again, and I left, feeling that I was a
free and independent citizen, eharg
esi with the right of suffrage. Ac
cordingly, on election day. 1 went
with all the pride and patriotism of
an American voter to deposit my
vote, when I was met with the re
quest to present my tax receipt. I
had never carried such a paper with
me, for it had never before been call
ed for. I offerer.' to he qualified that
I had paid tax, and a Republican
present. who had paid my tax with
his own, proffered his sworn testimo
ny that it had been paid within the
year. but all wits unavailing'
Another journey of six miles ena
bled me to present a duplicate re
ceipt from the collector's books, and
my vote was received. . Having per
formed my duty to my country, I
was content, but I was waked no
again soon after to discover that 1
made a mistake in my vote, and that
my own vote and ninety-nine others
had beeia transferred from the candi
date from whom! I had . voted for
Governor, to the opposing candidate.
The return had been correctly an
nounced at the poll, but the return
judges seamed to know better how
we intended to vote than we did
ourselves, and to get the matter right,
they just transferred one hundred of
us to the other side. Of course the
bosom of the virtuous Senator from
Indiana will heave with indignation
at this invasion of the prerogative of
the citizen, and his voice will grow
eloquent at what in the better days
lof the Commonwealth would have
I been without en apologist; but ho
mast remember that ray own ease
was. but a refleltion of the arbitrary
t and violent system of perverting the
ballot that he has made possible by
1 violent laws, and still sustains upon
! the flour of the Senate.
i If the Senator from Indiana would
i study the practical operations of the
• registry law in the manipulation of
election returns, let him take up the
Republican papers of last November.
lie will learn from them, that the
return judges, for whom he is so aw k -
• wardly battling to-night, not only
altered the returns from my own
ward, but alsp altered the returns
! from many other wards in the city.
This is not rumor or common fame.
It is an ascertained fact, known not
only to every intelligent! voter in
Philadelphia, but known as well
to the Senator from Indiana.
Ile knows that the vote of nearly-fif
ty orecincta was deliberately chang
ed, to diminish the party vote on
one side, amid to increase the .party
vote on the other side, and he knows
also that the details of these wanton
!mutts were published, and denounc
ed unsparingly by every city Ite
publican journal. He Allow's, also,
that not one oflicer has been arrested,
much less punished, for this crime.
These ft-antis were earnmitted when
no party necessity, or even party
policy, required it. It was perpe
trating fraud merely for the love of
makine a dishonest return. Why is
his voice silent on these wrongs
which stand out in the view of all as
the stars above us? Why is he for
getful of this systematic and entire
ly needless corruption of the ballot,
that is still fresh in the recollection
of all? -

"when
One year ago ray eonstituents up
pealed to this body for
.redress.
They not only asked fora proper law,
but they made the Legislature ap
preciate the earnestness of their pur
pose by a marked political revolt in
the very citadel of Republicanism.
some remedy was deemed a necessi
ty, and a pretence of deference to the
demand was given. But the Senator
then, as now, mocked them with a
statute that proved to be but a Ink
hood. They asked for bread, and he
gave them a stone. They begged for
law, and he gave them nuarchv In
their elections. They plead for - the
the integrity of the ballot, anti he
gave them a double fraud. I admit
that must of my associates on this
floor did not intend to impair the
rights of citizenship; and most of
them doubtless believed that the sup
plement of hest year afforded an ade
quate judicial remedy against the ar
bitrary powers of partisan can vasrs;
but the Senator from Indiana was in
thecontidential counsels cf those who
fashioned the act, and well knew
that it was studiedly framed to de
feat the very restraints it appeared to
grant. It came from those who are
experts iu fraud and have made
crime a profession.
Sir. let me speak plainly in answer
to the Senator from Indiana. The
issue and the oecasion demand it.
He speaks for a party in whose no-
Wer struggles I was an humble but
an earnest laborer. Am I to under
stand now that its interests anti its
success demand that fraud shall be
protected by statute in the city of
Philade!phia? Is it.now a neeeity
that it shall stain its grand record of
the past and diaLthe lustre of its pa
triotic achievements. by bowin g at
the alterof deliberate wrong? I can
not believe that Republican Senators
will so decide. I will not believe
that they are so forgetful of what
their organization has been In the
State nt:d Nation; of what it has ac
cotnplished in the past, and of what
It could yet attain under faithful and
patriotic direction. grant that It
is deeply %founded, and that its su
premacy is endangered. He who
reads the signs of the. times, and
notes the unrest of its sincerest wor
shippers, cannot he blind to its prob
able andeven early overthrow. Un
der Represent organization in Penn
sylvania its history must soon close.
and the political party with the
proudest ofteringsto a, free people us
its laurels, will end its - efforts in dis
honor, and go out before the reproba
tion of the men who once gave it
willing homage. Look at its
achievements. It has reared the
sublimest column to freedom and
equal justice that has ever been crea
ted by political effort; but the mous
legowl now bt.reows:under its once
secure foundatioes; the slimy stains
of venal ambition are left indelibleon
its fair surface, as unworthy men
have climed to Its highest hontirs,
and the one! green laurels with
which it was crowned have withered
and faded before the ',eluting atmos
phere that now envelops It. And
to-night the Senator from Indiana
has deepened every wound the Ite
puhlicatt organization bears, and ex
hausted himself to hasten its, decline
and fall. It cannot survive persist
ent assaults upon public justice and
private rights. It can live only by
regenerating itself, by returning to
the sincerity ofainvlction that called
it into being. The bad men who
have crawled into its temples and
defiled them, and who to-night bear
its banners and sound its .lung roll ;
libel the purposes of the hundreds of
thousands of sincere republicans In
Philadelphia and in Pennsylvania.
They are uo less honest men thar,
they were in the past, nor are they
any lee devoted to their political
faith; but wlitd.lr their banners are
blotted and their alters shadowed
with shame, they will yield their
party to save the free institutions fur
which they have given unmeasured
sacrifice.
They are deeply humiliated at the
pitablo special pleading of the Sena
tor from Indiana, and his : Mad at
tempts to drag them down into—the
lowest partisanship. They blush to
see its4lestiny thus controlled, and
to hear his insolent order for servile
obedience to confessed wrong. They
see only' its already manifold scars
and sores torn open afresh, and by
those who should probe and heal.
It is staggering under the inordinate
greed of its swarms of plaeemen. It
is oppressed with leaders who, like
the Senator from Indiana, multiply
offices upon themselves which they
cannot fill with honor. It is pierced
to the vitals by the lawlessness that
places more than half a score of po
litical dependants upon the pay rool
of this Senate, to plunder the treas
ury, with the assent of the Senator.
And yet, standing in the, midst of
the demoralization he has aided so
largely to bring upon the body poli
tic, and while falsey defending it,
and with the refinement of deceit
aiming to perpetuate it, he thanks
Gott that he is not as other men it
is this contempt for integrity, at
in the enactment and execution of
our laws, that has made Republican
ism tremble on trio very verge of de
struction.
When the Republican organization
shall return to its great purpose; to
the promotion a faithful weir, to the
enactment of ust laws, and to hon
est deference to enlightened public
sentiment, it shall have my hearty
support. Its places I do not seek,
and mere partisan favors I hope nev
er to merit. Men like the Senator
from Indiana must have partiestind
he must obey. Ile . would be . loth,
ing if not a leader; 'Leaders must
have followers of their oivia kind, and
he has found them. There are those,
however, and they are numbered by
thousands, who Mu .defy• party : when
it is forgetful of its tnost sacred .du
liei3, and they.can survive the min=
glettfear and hate . .of The little - par
tisans who mnst be lifted to distine
tion. I app al to4light on this queit
tion, to the manhood and the states
manship of Republican Senators, not
to the mean ambition that dare not
do right because it dare not offend.
Are Senators prepared to respond ap
provingly to a fresh insult that is
offered to a long suffering people?
If so, they must do it with deceitful
lips and malignant hearts. for the
fraud is palpable - and admitted.
It will avail nothing that lawaare
framed with fair words, if they are
to he executed In I ngines of oppres
sion. It was Louis XI, I believe,
who perfected the tortures of the
Bastiie by the construction of pits,
lined with the most exouisitly pol
ished stone, but so ingeniously fash
ioned that the victim had no resting
place. lie had but to languish in
protracted agony until he could wel
come death. And you have read of
the chamber whose walls impercept
ibly but surely contracted until they
narrowed to the tomb. No sound of
threat of danger was heard. No im
plement of destruction was visible,
but. with each fleeting moment,
with the precision of the hands of
yonder dial, the measured tread or
death advanced. Thus does the Sen
ator from Indiana, with studied de
ceit, bring the altarof polluted parti
sanship before us; and calls it holy,
and bids us bow dbwn in adoration
and accept its deadly embrace.
Sir, let me admonish him that his
partisan harangue falls upon an un
appreciative,ipeople, whose intelli
gence forbids the longer triumph of
deceit. If he has listened to the
whispers of ambition, he has yielded
to the Syren song that has left te
himi it hemtombs of its slain. It
teaches forgetfulness of truth and of
right, and lures its simple votaries,
step by stela, until they fade into
their original nothingness and are
kindly forgotten. It makes him ut
ter sentiments, which, in this age of
individual manhood. come like some
tuneless bird of night, to hoot in
weird and discordant tones, the des
olation that reigns in the crumbling
volumns of the once regal palace of
the Czesars. It comes, as did the cry
of old---"not this man, but amebas,"
and purity and justice are crucietid
in our laws, while the robber is re
li-ased to freedom.
Mr. rhairman, I have done. If 1
have spoken fervently, it was be
cause my duty required it. If! have
wounded the Senator, it was because
he made forbearance impossible. I
have hut vindicated the truth of his
tory, and leave the issue with the
Senate.
KILL OR CURE.
A Story or the American Civil
War
"The major is a LIR pital fellow,
doctor," I said, as we sauntered out
to smoke our cigars in the garden,
after an early dinner; "bat he ought
to be more merciful to us wretched
bachelors. What with his charming
wife and that exemplary baby. he
Makes it difficult to respect the tenth
commandment."
"You admire 3lrs. Layton?"
"Admire her! If she were not:
Charlie's wile I should tat I head over
ears in love with her. I have seen
fairer faces, hut for dear, pretty,
delicate womanly ways, I never met
her equal:"
"You couldn't understand a man's
thirsting for her blood."
"(food gracious! A wretch who
could touch one of her golden hairs
roughly deserves to be crucified."
"And yet for many days she was
in deadly peril of her life."
"For tier fortune?"
"She had none."
"Don't tell me. doctor, that an in
nocent creature like that could give
any one cause for revenge."
?'No: I won't tell you anything of
the sort."
"I think I see. !some one was mad
ly in lore with tier?" _
"If you were to guess till this day
oui - you would not find the cause,"
said my friend. "Let me Kit down
here and I will explain. It's no se
cret; I wonder the Major has not told
you."
"Down here" was on a rustic seat
that the major's pretty wife had made
at the earl of his garden, close to
where a little rill, soon to' be lost in
the blue Hudson, tinkled its way
through his grounds.
"During the war." began the .doc
tor, "I served in the army, in the
same-regiment with an old school
mate. He was as fine a soldier as
ever drew sword. Hale, hearty, and
sound in mind and holly; eager to
see service—and he saw - plenty. I
thought that he bore a charmed life
till one day he was carried Into the
hospital tent in a . . bad way. -A ball
had entered his shoulder, glanced on
the clavicle (what you call the collar
bone) and had gone—somewhere.
That was all we could tell, .for there
was no orifice; but whether it had
passed up or down, or taken some
erratic course round about, arches
balls will take, we knew not, and no
probing eauld find out. Well, he re
covered, went north to regain his
health, and for nearly three years I
lost sight of him. When the war
was over, and 1 had begun. to prac
tice as a civilian in New York, 1 met
bini again. But how changed ! He
was like a living Skeleton, and I saw
in a moment that he had become
habituated to 'opium. Do_ you know
what that means? No ? Well. throw
a bucket of water into a piano, and
then light a fire under it, and its
strings will not be more out of tune
than an opium smoker's nerves are
out of order. He asked me if he
might call on me at ray office, and of
course, I resented, but it was days
before he came, and when he did
arrive I knew that he had been pre
paring himself for u fight with him
self. Some foolish patients come
prepared to hide the-truth, some to
magnify their ills. It is part of our
business, in serious cases, to examine
s man's mind before we ask about
his body, and hardened as a surgeon
must be, I confess that the condition
of my poor friend frightened me.
There was an expression in his eye
that I had never seen in tiny sane
I being; and what made this worse
was the calm business;like manner
in which he spoke. He told me that
soon after he had (apparently)-re
covered from his wound, he began to
suffer from pains in his head, which
increased in severity till they became
so agonizing that he had resource to
opiates to alleviate them. "But I
have not come to consult you about
this," he said, 'this I can bear—must
bear. Would to God that they were
always tearing me! The worst is
when they are not:'
"They leave you very weak ?" I
suggested.
' " They leave we,' he replied, luite
calmly, 'with a.burning, all but un
conquerable desire to take human
life.'
"1 =knot generally a nervous wan,
but I started, and looked mono for
some weapon of defense. 'Don't be
afraid,' he continued, 'the lit is not
on mellow. I should not have mime
if it had been. I have been nearly
starved once or twice, not daring to
leave nay room. I can conquer my
madness now; the question is how
long I can continue to do so. I feel
that it is growing upon me.. I feel
my power of resistance becoming
weaker and weaker—the craving for
blood getting stronger and stronger.
lam like a man who has slipped
over a precipice, and feels the earth
and shrubs So which he clings, slow
ly, slowly, surely, surely, giving
way- whit him. I have brought
wretched curs out of the , st;eet, mid
killeiithem In my freifiyAn• the
hope to exhaust it on them. It is no
use. 1 Must have human life.'
'4ny 'human life?' t. inquired;
spriothe dpein particular 1" •
" "Why do you ask this doctor?'
he cried, getting suddenly excited."
""No matter,' gond."
," 'Sometimes,' he resumed, 'lt
seems that any. We ; would, do; ; ;and
someUt2litxdoetdr;lner - ilsivi - ! before
I saw you I met, upon a New Jersey,
ferry boat, 41 young girl. So pretty,
so relined, and Mee? I followed her
to herhome--the devil that has taken
possession of me, led Inc. She went
in, and soon cam€ out again into her
little garden, and tended to her flow
ers—poor child! Doctor, if 1 had a
pistol with me I. should have shot
her. You may smile; but some day
soon I shall take a pistol on purpose,
and shoot her."
"It was clearly no use arguing with
him. The best way;' with such peo
ple is to admit their facts and try to
work round them.
"'Then," said I, 'the only thing
you can do is to submit to the re
striction of an asylum, till this feel•
ing has passed.'
"'lt will not pass. If I were to
go to a ma d house I should sham

over me would be relaxed. Then
I should murder my keeper. and go
straight for that innocent girl.'
" 'Then leave the country.
"Well, that would .save her; but
doctor, one life is as dear to its holder
as another. 111 don't kill her, I shall
kill some one else."
"'My dear fellow,' I replied, in as
light a tone as I could assume, 'these
fancies are curable. Put yourself
under skilled medical treatment.
You are all to bits, physically. Get
sound in body and you'll get all
right in your mind.'
"'On the contrary, lam all to bits,
as you say, mentally, and my body
suffers through my mind. Medical
treatment! 1 have consulted every
practitioner of note here and in Eu
rope. Some think Pin fooling them,
some look wise, and talk as you do
about 'treatments.' All have failed.
Doctors are no use to rne.'
"Then may I ask why you have
come here?" -
"'To ask your advice as a friend,'
'he answered, drawing his chair
nearer to me; 'and,' lowering his
voice, 'to ask you one question as a
friend and a God fearing. man, and to
which I pray you to give me a plain
yes or no."
" 'Go on.'
'• as I feel, shall I bejusti
fled before God in taking my own
life? Will it be a deadly -sin for me
to do for myself what I would do to
a mad dog?'
"'I repeat his words almost as he
spoke them. I cannot give you the
faintest idea of the solemn delibera
tion with which he put this awful
question. For some moments I
could not say a word. Then I started
up and told him that I would not
answer him yes or no—that it was
not fair to ask me to take such re
sponsibility.
,Then he rose too, and
said that he must resolve it for him
self, and I saw plainly which, way it
would go. Give me tillto4rmirow to
think It out. 1 said, detaining- him."
" 'To-morrow may be too late; he
replied. Theilt may come .upon me
to-night for all I know."
"'Come home with we; I'm not
afraid. You won't hurt me,' I mid.
" would try very lard not to do
so—but-4 know myself.. I cannot
trust myself. Don't you trust we.'
"'I will trust you; but dolnore.
You are not armed, I suppose?"
" No,'he replied with a shudder,
'pot now.'
" care that you-shall not
be, and I'll carry -my Derringer In
my pocket. On the first Indication
of homicidal mania I give you my
word I'll shoot—and shoot
straight.' I said this to satisfy him;
poor fellow! In his weak state I
mild have laid him down like a
child. It did satisfy him, and we
went home,logether. I led him to
talk of car soWiering days, and grad
ually got him back to his wound. I
made him describe the first sensa
tions of a pain in his head, and re-
peat all that his different medical
advisers had said. I happened to
have a strong preparation of hash
eesh by me. I gave him a dose, and
whilst under its influence I, carefully
examined his head. Now the head,
you must know does not fatten or
waste away in proportion to other
parts of the body. Still, his had be
aiome mere skin and bone; and this
state, perhaps, gave me advantage
over otberi Wha hadmailekthe.L same,
examination. At last felt. og
thought I felt, a faint twitching—a,
sort of abnormal pulisation--ab=t
two inches 'shove the left 'ear. It.
might be meiely nervous; but it
might be ean.sed by the - '
"I then oettny mind to work,ond
thought the whole case Over. Steadi
ly. In the first place was' that 'lns
pulse to take human life; Of Which
my poor friend' bad spoken, - rally
uncontrollable. For example, sup-.
pose that one day he din take a pistol
'on purtmose,' and go to that young
lady's garden--would he shoot her ?
To suppose thst the insane mind
never changes Its purpose, or turas
from the fell completion ,of Its pur
pose, is to say in st rong errds that
the insane mind is than the
sane mind. If, man with a freshly
broken leg were to tell you he Was
going to run a foot race, you wont('
not believe him, because your com
mon sense revoitsagainsi the idea of
his running with a leg disabled.
But if one with his brain disabled
declares that he is going to do some
thing depedent upon the action of
his mind, common sense does not
always argue so well."
"In the second place, did my poor
friend, with his impaired means of
judgment, believe that the Impulse
was uncontrollable? Because if he
did the end would be the mine, so
far as he was concerned. Ile would
sacrifice his own life to protect that
of others. though they were in no act
ual danger.
"In the third place, might not this
story of the impulse be a mere pre
tence to excuse the commission of
suicide? Now there are no forms of
madness more obscure In their orig- .
in more difficult to detect, wore per
sistent. and moiri`fatal than suicidal
mania; and as there have( been nu
merous capes in which persons who
have destroyed themselves haye
carefully prepared evidence tending
to show that their death was acciden
tal, why should there not be one in
which the fatal act was to be (so far
as possible) Justified?
"In the fourth - piSce, granting that
there wits either homicidal mania or
fancied homicidal mania tending
to suicidal, or simply the latter
—was there a passibility of cure? '
"As the three first questions rested
for their solution on one set of facts.
and thedeductiona to he drawn there
from, I considered them together. A
victim of suicidal mania rarely if ev
er speaks of suicide. Wheu a man
says he is going to drown himself,
you may generally direct him to the
cars which will take him to the riv
erside with the fullest conviction that
he will not breakfast with crass. If,
In an exceptional case, suicide is
mentioned, it will either be treated
lightly, as an act that is not a crime,
or the patient will be very earnest In
his assurances that he would never
commit it. Remembering my poor
friend's manner, I noticed that he
spoke of taking his own life with
much more emotion than he evinced
when he told me of the impulse to
shed the blood of others. His words.
I must have human life—if I had
had a pistol with me I should have
shot her—some day soon I shall take
a pistol on purpose and shoot her—l
should murder my keeper and go
straight for that innocent girl,' were
spoken as calmly as though he said
'I owe five dollars—l must go and
pay them,' and at the same time
with a tone of deep commiseration
for the Predestined victims. They
were to die for no fliult.of their own.
but they were doomed to ileath—if
he lived. When, on theother hand,
bespoke of Paving their lives at the
sacrifice of his own. his manner
changed. No one afflicted with sui
cidal mania ever treated self destrue:
tion. with the horror, the conscious
ness of its wickedness and the relig
ious doubts as.to its being pardonable
under any circumstances wlth‘which
be esmsidered it. Ho had never once
spoken or murder as a crime.
"After a long and careful consider
ation I - came to therfoilowlng conchs- ,
Mons : •
"Re is not laboring under suicidal
mania. • t !rrr
"Ills impulse is real , and will have
fatal results.
"Coutinement in an asylum would
have uti curative effect.
"Then I took down noy hooka
bearing upon the anatoma of the hu
man head.
=EI
The next morning I addressed him
thus:
"Before I onswei you as to wheth
you would be justified before God,
under the impulse you have told me
of,'ln taking your'owu life to save
that of another, yoU must; answer my
several questions."
" 'Go on,' he said.
" _ , When you consulted those doc
tors did you tell them all that you
have told me ?'
"'No. I did not dap-. I said that
I had horrible thoughts and cravings,
but without entering into details as
so what they were. Once I went so
far as to say I feared I was becoming
dangerous, and the fool smiled.'
"'(loud. Did they ever speak of
searching for that ball'
"'Yes, they snid it might ht. the
cause of my sufferings, supposing it
had lodged near the brain, but that
no one would take the responsibility
of searching for it—so to
dark.'
"'They were right—the operation
alight kill you, and the lad! be not
found after all.'
"He looked up, and the dull, dejec
ted look that had become habitual
passed from his face.
"'And even if it were found,' I
went on, 'its extraction might cause
your death all thesarne.'
"He laid his hand on myarm, and
tried to speak, but he could not.
" 'Still it would give you a chance
—just a chance of more life." HIS
grasp tightened. I could feel his
heart beating. 'Arid submitting to
such an operation—almost hopeless
though it be—would not be quite su
icide.'
"He fell upon his kuees end sob
bed like a child. 'You'll do It?' he
cried, 'God Almighty bless 'you!
You'll do it?'
"Well," said my friend, lighting a
fresh cigar, "to make m,y story short,
I did it, with the assistance of a
young surgeon whose nerve I could
trust. We found that miserable
piece of lead near where I had sus
pected It be. It was Just a case of
touch and go. Had my knife wa
vered twice the breadth of its own
edge—had the assistant been un
steady with the forceps—it would
have been fatal. I don't want to ap
pear vain of my success, so I'll say
no more than this—he recovered."
"And hasn't killed any body?"
"No, and dmen't want to."
"By Jove! I would't be too pure
of that. And so the girl he vranted
to murder married the major?"
"She did."
"Then if I were her husband I'd
take precious good care that your in
-teresting patient` didn't come into
the same titale with her."
"My dear fellow if you were her
husband you'd, do exactly as her hus
band does." •
"Does he know ?f
"None better."
"And doesn't care?"
"Not a bit."
"Then he's a brute!"
"You'd better tell him so—here he
comes." ..
"Does the know ?"
"She does."
"And she's not afraid ?"
4,N 0. ,,
"One other question. Does your
interesting patient still live in this •
country?"
"He does."
"In what state?"
"This state."
"Near here ?" •
- Very near."
"Then, with all possible deference
for our friend the Major" I think he I
is very foolish. Werein his place
I should say, "my good sir, I admit
