There Is u very unseemly quarrel amenjt the medical experts appointed te examine Inte the sanity of McGlnnis, ttie JL'hlladelphfa murderer who lias just htten rMtilteil from Thursday next till the fourth of March. Dr. Themas G. Morten Is the member of the commission who does net seem te knew hew te con duct himself in the matter. He is the chairman of the commission nml dlsa arecs with all his colleagues, who think McOinnls Insane, while Morten Is aure he is sane. Ills colleagues lately addressed the governor in behalf of their position, and Morien new comes up with a dem onstration of his. Beth parties have their statements published, and Morten declares that he has posltive knowledge that the governor is going te sustain him. It seems that nn Inquiry, entered Inte te detennlne the responsibility of McGlnnis, has resolved itself into a con test as te which set of doctors shall be sustained. Peer McGlnnis is permitted te live whlle the doctors nre trying te get en top of each ether, but according te Morten he Is bound te be hung at last. McGlnnis seems te nppreciate the situation, declaring when he get news of the reprieve that he would rather die new, while lie was prepared for it, as he did net knew hew he would be in March. That was an eminently sane nnd sagacious remark, nnd Is je much support te Mor Mer Mor eon's theory. Morten may be rightabeut It, for though iie demonstrates him self te be a geed deal of a brute by his zeal te get McGlnnis hung, te gratify his professional pride of opinion, yet he may net be a feel. It is, however, safe te say, that any doctor who undertakes upon lils expert knowledge, te declare positively for or against the mental accountability of a man, undertakes te say a great deal mere in many cases than any expert knowledge that he cm have will Justify. Whether sanity or insanl ty exists at the moment of crime is a question which can often be told by any sensible observer as well or better than by the medical man, who is resort ed te as nn expert en the subject of men tal diseases. There is undoubtedly a prevalent insanity that exists spasmod ically and springs from temporary dis turbance of the bodily functions, which makes the sufferer as dangerous te the community as though he were per manently Insane. Tills is a sort of mental unsoundness which is very difficult of Judgment, nnd about which doctors and observers will readily disagree There are many.such oppor tunities of disagreement in determining men's irresponsibility for their conduct. There is an interesting case new attract ing public attention in the Kathbene tragedy, and opinions will naturally differ as te whether the husband, who seems te have been responsible enough before and after the act, was tempo rarily insane when he killed his wife, who had barred his way te their children, or whether he was only in a passion ; aud if in a passion, was It one due te physi cal causes which made it uncontrollable. Many a man has been hung for an act prompted by a passion that was beyond hla control. A bodily condition that sends the bleed te the head unduly, may cause a passlonate outburst that cannot be controlled. Dyspepsia is a prime cause of Irritability, and indigestion is responsible for many If net meat crimes of vielence. The jury in criminal cses has a very delicate duty te perform, if It would perform it properly. It Is roughly done under our present methods, at.d really righteous judgments are rare enough. The courts nre net much mine Intelligent than the juries i i reach ing them. The Pennsylvania law makes cool deliberation ti necessary element in murder in the first degree, but judges Instruct the Juries that a min ute or be of cooling time is enough te tuaku the crime deliberate, and have never stepped te ask whether dyspepsa or indigestion steed In the way of such speedy frigerutlen. The question as te this man McGlnnis is whether he is sane or insane new. It Bseras that It is considered un&eemly te hang a man who is net In perfect posses sion of Ills senses ; although the fact is that most men who are hung are In just that condition, under the kindly uid of whisky or merphia. The law's idea of the fitness of things is net the hang man's ; and if McGlnnis is insane lie Is entitled te Hfe ; the reason being that it is possible that If he was sane he might find something te urge why thejudg ment Bheuld net be executed upon him The humanity of this conclusion of the law, which gives lire te hi in who cannct enjoy It and takes It from him who can, is somewhat obscure ; but it is tee old a notion te be galnBald. The Ecandaleus oxresuro of the Hun tlngten letters presentsln story net sec endary In Interest or Infamy te the Credit Meblller transactions, in which OakeB Ames' memoranda of public men and their price bhuted se many con cen gresamen, and yet had a healthful Inlluence In clearing the atmosphere nnd exposing ;i number of hypocrites. There may be occasion foranether congression al invesUnatlen ; In any event Stanley Matthew, is again presented In a light which will confirm the neces sity for nn iuquiry into the relter. ated report that his appointment was one of the conditions el u bargain by which the railroad Interests, which wanted him en the supreme bench, con trlbuted $100,000 te the campaign fund, which Dersey spent for Garllcld'u elec tion. it m i The optimist, who believes that this is the beat day the world has yet seen, welcomes with geed cheer the year that is usnered In se dismally by the clerk of the weather. It Is se natural for man te Indulge in the illusions of the hepe that li weuiu ee a peer world if nobody could see the Bllverlinlngtethe cloud of uncer talnty that new seems te hang ever busl ness, political affairs, religious interests and the relations of nations with each ether. The future Is Involved In strange doubts, but the thing- certain Is that the TOMDAT KVENINQ, JAN, J, iee4, opening year will be ene of exciting events, pregnant with weighty conso censo conse quenccs te the race and te history.
