The Literary Club.
The February meeting of this Club!
was held at the house of Mr. M. I\j
DeBruhl last Friday night, ("apt. J.
\V. Perrin in the Chair. Mr. \V. A.
Templeton aeted Secretary pm <ctn.\
The special committee on periodicals
and library made a report recommending,
ajnoug other things, that some
person be employed at a salary of
twenty dollars a year to receive and isNUe
the periodical from nine to eleven
o'clock on Tuesdays and Fridavs.
I Adopted. It was also recommended I
that a resolution be passed dropping j
from the roll the names of all whoj
had not paid their annual dues, ami i
that none hut those who have paid he
allowed the use of the periodicals.
Adopted. So that hereafter none hutt
hona title members or their families
can get the periodicals belonging to
the Club. These steps will very much
curtail the reading membership, while
it may have the effect of Increasing)
the pay members. The Kssav of the I
evening was read by Mr. L. Wardlaw i
Smith, his subject being Insanity. ;
The essay was really an excellent paper,
evincing much research and j
thought on the part of the writer who
expressed his views in excellent English.
After adopting the definition ofj
Dr. Charles Buckucll, that insanity is,
"A condition of the mind in which aj
false conception or judgment, a defective
power of the will, or an uncontrollable
violence of the emotions and
instincts, have separately or conjointly
been produced by disease," he
attempted to show the three different 1
kinds of Insanity that are embodied!
in the adopted definition.
1st. The intellect <?r reason may be
<! >? h r#\n >.;l i\r t'lviMi
I Others give us :tu instance of what is
known as Intellectual Insanity.
2nd. The will may be so indomitable
that all that one* reason may dictate ;
will prove futile and thus present to us
Volitional Insanity.
3rd. The mutinous emotions of a
man may have him so under control
from long continued indulgence that
he often commits acts unaware at the
time of its enormity. This kind is
known as Emotional or according to
common parlance Moral Insanity. i(
Irresponsibility in tirst case is to be !
determined by the test of the old an- j,
thorities viz: The knowledge of right ,
and wrong with regard to the particu- J
lar act in question.
In second case irresponsibility can
only be determined by the detection ?>f
disease together with extraneous cir- j
cumstanees. Test of right and wrong ' j
does not hold good. j
Third. In no case should moral insanity
excuse.
Mr* L. AV. Perrin, thought the mo- (
tive cf criminals should be taken into !
account, when considering th?>ir re-'J
sponsibilitv. ;!
Kev. Mr. Hal lam, thought that the
insane might in many cases, have'
>1...:. ....... uv,
II PIVWII ICU IlK'll un II
power. He thought many men were .
responsible for their own insanity, qnd .
that many men who were sane to-day j
could become insane if they desired.
Prof. I). 1>. Johnson thought active 1
and constant employment was tbestir- '
est preventive of insanity.
Mr. \V. Beuet thought ail men I
were more or less insane, and that '
there was no such thing as drawing an IV
arbitrary line between the insane and j1
the sane.
Judge Aldrich thought everything j1
in the way of responsibility for one's *
own acts, depended upon his knovl-j J
edge of right and wrong, and his pow-j*
?-r to control his actions. He believed J
(Juiteau guilty of murder because he j *
bad on previous occasions restrained '
himself from killing tlie President, J
and he could have restrained himself' f
on the second of July in the Baltimore !c
and Ohio Depot, as well as he did on,c
former occasions. He had no doubt of 1
his accountability, and the justice of (i
the verdict of the jury. j?
Mr. Burt thought that men often J
improperly escaped through thepleai1
oj insanity, ami mine request <n mjuici.
of the members he related a most.*
amusing incident of the kind, which *
_ happened in his own practice. !!i
Judge McGowan thouglit the line of 1
responsibility and accountability ap- *:
peared so silently and quietjy in thej-j
light of reason, and disappeared so v
mysteriously in the shadows of doubt;1
that there was no such thing as a deti-j4
nite rule of action or accountability in J
such case*. That the jury in each)1
ease must be governed by the partial-js
lar facts which may be developed. j"
Many other of the members of the |{'
club made expressions, but as we took j ^
no note we cannot with certainly rt*-!;
call the expressions and give each man j j
due credit. All were much pleased '
with the essay.
Col. Rice, of Ninety-Six, and Judge !
Aldrich were among the inviteU '
guests.
The next essayist is Mr. Jas. Clial-1
mers, Capt. L. W. Whitealteruatv, and j
the next meeting will be at the resi-,
dence of Mr. S. C. Cason. j

Our people seem to he doing very1
little to protect themselves from the i
approach of this disease. We may es- j
cape entirely, but the chances are that
we may have it in this community, j
As to vaccination we would say that!
wesee it stated in the papers as com-j
ing from one who prepares them that
the ivory lancets are good for only a
fe*v days. The XX are warranted for1
only live days, and the XXX for only
two weeks after purchase. Persons
who buy these points should use them :
at once, and patients who pay should |
know that they are property vaccinated.
In one of our exchanges wej
see it stated that more than a hundred j
were vaccinated, without a single satis-!
factory result. So. after all, you see it:
is not so easy to get a proper, vaccina-;
lion. j

OUR COURT. j
Winding: Up the Criminal Business by j
Soud in a: a Delegation to the Penitentiary.
Last Monday morning the convicts
were brought into Court for sentence,
his Honor Judge Aldrich on the
I >t*n cl I.
In the case of the State against tJco
Kvans, Mr. Cothrau, attorney for defendant,
made a mm ion in arrest o!
judgment upon t!ic ground of fatal defect
in the indictment. The charg<
was burglary under the statute?llu
indictment charged that the gin house I'
whieh was broken into was "within j I
ilie curtilage of the said dwelling j
house." Mr. Cothrau contended tliat.h
as the oflonce was statutory and as the
statute defined the out-buildings in !
which burglary could be committed to
be within two hundred yards of the*!
dwelling house and appurtenant j
thereto, the indictment was fatally de-J
fectivc in that it did not allege that t he J
gin house was within two hundred!
yards of the dwelling house and ap-:
purtcnant thereto. j
Judge Aldrich said that the points
taken had been very clearly stated by
the counsel for the defence, but that
the indictment described with stiHi- >
cient. certainty the oflctiee charged?
and the motion must be refused. ]
In making a motion for a new trial.
and in arrest of judgment in the case
of the State against Alex. Belcher for,
malicious trespass in killing a dog. j
Mr. Orville T. Calhoun oflercd j
two grounds for an arrest ot judgment. 1
First, that a dog is not regarded as,
property nude# the laws of this State,:
or at least such property as will give j
occasion for the punishment of the!
erimiiuil law. and second, that if it is t
regarded as such property, then it is!c
necessary that the value of the proper-!}!
ty should be set forth in an indict-jf
ment for malicious trespass. Under t
tiie common law, a dog is not regarded c
of sufficient value to give occasion forj'l
the punishment of the criminal law, If
as will appear hy reading t he case of t
"the State against Edmund Wheeler,!
in l.'ith Rich, page 302. That decision j
says, the authorities which the i)is-|s
trict Judge has cited are weighty, s<
enough to induce doubt in my mind,|m
for they clearly show that although ' f<
the common law recognizes a qualified
property in a dog sufficient for a
civil suit, it considers all dogs, like
monkeys and parrots,of noiutrinsicj
value, prized only from whim or forj 7
sport, and therefore too inconsiderablei
to give occasion for the puni.?hment of;
[he criminal law. Now to show that;
1 dog is not regarded as property un-j
ler the laws of this State, and that hej
is only taxed as a luxury. Everv dogi.
is taxed alike. He is not valued ac-| n
'OldiHi: to his market value asotliere.
>ersoiial property is. In tact, no value! j]
s placcd upon liini at all, but each!log
is taxed live dullars as a luxury, j
S'o value has heen placcd uponthei01
log in the indictment, and thereforei01
he State cannot contend that this dog i c|
s property, for all property must have! .
some value, and that value must he set,
orth in an indictment for malicious( el
respass. The act under which this: h
ndictment is brought says, "Whoever j 'p
-hall wilfully, unlawfully and mali-L
riously, cut, shoot, maim, wound or]
iestroy any horse, mule, neat cattle, I
log, sheep, goat, or other personal C
uoperiy, the goods and chattels of an-1 v<
tiher, shall be guilty of a misdeniean-i j
>r, |&c." A dog is not mentioned. |
Suppose this indictint nt had been for!0'
arceny, would your Honor hold that I as
t was unnecessary to set forth the p(
alue of the dog in the indictment?i
think not, ami believe that your
-lonor will hold that it was necessary! *
hat the value of the dog should have I hi
iceii set forth in an indictment fori
naIicious trespass. j
In reply, his Honor Raid : Dogs are;*
noperty ail over the world. This is a; e:
ase of malicious t respass. The jiris- j p<
mer when in the road as he wasre-|aj
in ning from church, shot a hound j j
log within the enclosure of its own-'
r's yard. The motions in arrest of'"1
udginetit and for a new trial are de- ti<
lied. ^tli
Iu the case of the State against Sam
{atniltou indicted for larceny from the!
ield, Mr. Bonhain made a motion fori*0
p i . . l... .! . t.? , I
irresi 01 on me ^iduiui hi;ii. j
he indictment alleges that the prop-! ]j(
rty stolen was the property of P. B. j .
Jpnson, when it was in proof that itj
vas the property of'another ; that the ^
itle ami possession was in Lousia qi
ililler, whereas the indictment alleges; (t.
hat it is the property of I'. B. Benson,!
t was prooven that P. B. Beu<>ii
had only a statutory lien for rent P1
m one-third. It was not the property
tr in the possession of P. B. Benson, 01
>ut was the property of Louisia
diller who was a tenant of Benson,
dr. Bonham further said that in ease
lis Honor refused the arrest of judg- m
nent he would make a motion for a
lew trial, as when he consented to go]
nto a trial of the case he belived his
wo material witnesses were within
he call of the court. Jle was not
iware of their absence until after
joing into trial, when it was too late
oask for a postponement of the case.
The Court replied, that it was the 7
jusinessof the attorney to have his I
vitnesses hound over to court, and!
hat the court would not graut a new [
rial because of their absence. jol
In the case of the State against; CJ
Sphraini Scott, charged with burglary I
tnd grand larceny in stealing oats! 1
roin Major Griffin's barn, Mr. Gray-!
Ion moved for a new trial because of|T
he insntliciency of proof to convict. (j(
-le said that he was aware that he' ,
vould be met with this objection:!'
hat the issues being matters of fact,!"1
lie jury are the sole judges of the! w
acts. Before our present Constitution: p.
vas adopted the Judge on the Bench! <
lad the right to give the jury his opin-j ^
on of the facts, though tne jury had "
he perfect right to disregard thatopiu-j
on. Although that right had been f(
aken away Irom the Judge he con- j
ended that the Judge had been com-1
>ensatcd for that deprivation in his E
iresent right to grant a new trial. Af-1 L)
er Major Griffin had discovered the jj
oss of his oats, he found at Ninety-j
>ix, in the possession of a merchant, a I
ot of oats which he believed to be his. E
Phese oats had been purchased from L
lw tlio l
lion of oats which Major Griffin be-1
ievcil to be like his , there was no ev-'
dence to connect him with either the J1
heft or the burglary. All red oats in !
Abbeville County -sprang from the!
ameorigin. Admitting that thepris-l
(tier did have Major Griffin's oats, it is*
i great stretch of authority to connect J
1 iin with the burglary, when it was\
jroved that the barn was found un-!j,
ocked several times. Motion for an
irrest of judgment was made because |
>f defective indictment. "Divefs'J
>ther times" is too indefinite. The*J
ndictment should be specific, thatj
lie accused may know the crime j
whereof he stands charged.
After Mr. Graydon sat down, Mr. J
FJenet said that he would be glad if|
lis Honor would withhold his opinon
until he also could be heard in a;
timilar argument in behalf.of An-j^
lhany Martin and Tom Ligon, who!
A'ho had been convicted as partici-ij?
^atits in the same crime?stealing oatsj-p
Tom Major Griffin. He, like the1
;ounsel who had just preceded him,
relieved the indictments defective.'J
l'he Constitution declares that an indictment
shall conclude in a particu- ^
!ar way, and these indictments have x
lot comformed to this requirement.
Wn tvAiiIil mol'o mntinn fnr u now
:rial in the ease of Athouy Martin and
Foul Ligon, because of insufficiency of
evidence. A man might identify his t,
;oat, or his handwriting with certainly,
but it was a very difficult matter to '1
identify a grain of corn or a handful 1
:>f oats, with that degree of certainty 31
is would warrant a jury in convict- v
ing the accused. There was 110 proof ,
Lhat the prisoners were ever at Major 1
GiriRln's barn. 1 therefore submit l'
Lhat my clients are entitled to a new t
trial. v
The Court here said that the mo- ,
Lions in arrest of judgment, and the;11
motions for new trials in Mr. Benet's!^1
rases, and that of Mr. (Jraydon, were b
lenied.
Turning to the convicts who sat on
the seats recently occupied by the jury
who had convicted them, iiis Hon*
;ir said that he was sorry to see so
many of their race in the criminal
courts. In the last four years it had
been his duty to preside at the trial of
many of their race charged with theft.
The expense attendant upon these ,
trials is great, and as there appears to 4
be such an utter disregard of the disgrace
of being sent to the penitentiary, r
there w- being developed. 011 the parti
of a portion of our people a disposition
to establish the whipping-post. Our Is
citizens cannot set up all night toll
watch their property, and to keep you A
from breaking into their barns. Every
able-bodied man in this country'
can make a living by a little effort.I
There is no excuse for any man to I j
commit a theft. A moderate amount j
of work will earn a sufficiency to keep
any man comfortably. Hut it seems
to me that there is little use to talk.
George Evans?Stand up: You broke
into the gin house of Mr. Fooshe.
Your ofibiice is a gmve one. You were
in his service, lie trusted you, and in j
his absence you broke into Ills gin
house, uml violated the law by aj
breach of trust. I hope you will come j
toihe conclusion that it is better toj
let other people's property alone.
Mr. Calhoun said-I trust your
Honor will not forget that this prisoner I
ilid not disgrace himself by lying, and ;
if your Honor can Uml it in your heart j
to be lenient with lihu because of hisi
truthfulness under circumstances j
w here so many add perjury to the
v-rime charged, 1 hope the ends of jus-1
lice will be better subserved.
The Court?I am glad to note the re-'
marks of your attorney in your behalf. I
Hie scut ci icc of the court is, that you.
>c sent to the penitentiary, to he kept [
tt hard labor for the space of three
rears.
Alex. Belcher? You shot a neigh- .
>or's watch dog as you were returning
join church, it was a wanton act,
jut I shall not he hard on you, you j
an pay a line of $50 or go to the penienliary
for six months.
Sam Johnson?Your offence was in 1
stealing crops from the Held and it ;
ivill he my duty to send you to the
icniteiitiary. The sentence of the 1
ourt is, that you be confined at hard
abor in the penitentiary for nine !
nontlis. 1
Hiram Lites?Your conduct during j.
lie trial of your ease, was ollensive to j
he last degree, and I have no douht
hat conduct had a great deal to do ,
villi the verdict of the jury. You are i
l young man in the prime of your 1
iianhood, ami have been convictcd of \
Inking at: old man, and your manner;,
n court has been ollensive to decency.!'
hope that you will try to improve 1
our manners. You must go to the
)enitentiary for a term of thrco years. ?
Anthony Ward law?I am very sorry j
hat a man who has proven as good a (
haructer as you have should have been '
;uilty of stealing a gun. I am sorry !|
or your old mother, and I am sorry ibrp
he witnesses who, in their attempt to) >
lear you of this charge, swore falsely, j *
'hesentcnce of the court is that you j i

The following ure the more important provisions
of the Klccllon Hill, as finally passed
by both houses or the General Assembly :
