They have founi that the defendant, took the liff of Miss Cropeey tlirough malice but without premeditation a or deliberation.

Colhran recalls the fact di?''ls continued in the State and juries acquitted the slayer in such affairs after his crime had been pronounced nuir der statute, but when Col. Cash was killed "the extreme t xercise ol preventive measures was invoked and the constitutional amendment known as (he antidtielliug oath was adopted." lie adds : ' If was the expression of the outtsgeri public sentiment of the State, that a man who would vio late the law he had sworu not. only to uphold, but to obey, was not a fit person to hold oilice in this State. The tear of death did not deter, the fear of fines did not restrain, but the certainty ol ineligibility to office has had the desired effect and not a duel has since occurred in the State. 1 have yet to see in any brave and honorable man an apologist even, much less an advocate, ot the practice of earning concealed weapous.
