Gentlemen of the Senate anil House of lie presentatires: A year of peace anil general prosperity to this nation has passed, since the last assem bling of Congress. We have, through a kind Providence been blessed with abundant crops, and have been spared from complications and war with foreign nations. In onr midst, comparative harmony has been restored. It is to be regretted, however, thatthe free exer cise of the elective franchise has by violence and intimidation, been denied to citizens, in exceptional cases, in some of the states lately in rebellion, and the verdict of the people hus thereby bi on reversed. '1 he states of Vir ginia, Mississippi and Texas have been re stored to representation in our national coun cils. Georgia, the only state now without repre sentation, may confidently be expected to take her place there, also, at the beginning of the new year, and then let us hope will be completed tile work of recoil sirucuon. w 1111 an acquicsence on me part of the whole people in the nation al obligation to pay the public debt created as the price of our Union, the pensions to our disabled soldiers and sailors, and thehr widows and orphans, and in the changes inthe Constitution winch have been made necessary by u great rebellion, there is no reason why we should not advance in material prosperity and happiness ns no other nation ever did after soprotraetedanddevastatingawar. Soon after the existing war broke out in Europe, the protection of the United States Minister in l’aris was invoked in favor of the North Ger man domiciles in French territory. Instruc tions were issued to grant the protection. This has been followed by an extension of Ameri can protection to the citizens of Saxony, Hes se, Saxe Coburg, Gotha, Columbia, 1‘ortugal, Uruguay, the Dominican Republic, Ecquador, Chili, l’Hraguay, and Venezuela, in Faris.— The churge was an onerous one, requiring constant and severe labor, as well as the exer cise of patience, prudence and good judgment. It has been performed to tile entire satisfaction of this government, and as I am officially informed, equally so to the satisfaction ot die government of North Germany. As soon as 1 learned that a Republic bad been pro claimed at Faris, and that the people of France had acquiesced in the change, the Minister of the United States was directed by telegraph to recognize and tender my con gratulations, and those of the people of the United States. The rc-establisbment in France of a system of government discon nected with the dynastic traditions of Europe, appeared to be a possible project for the felicitations of Americans. Should the present war result in a change to the Frencn to our simpler forms of representative government, it will be a subject of still further satisfac tion to our people. While we make no ef fort to impose our institutions upon the in habitants of other countries, and while we adhere to our traditional neutrality in civil contests elsewhere, we cannot be indifferent to the spread of American political ideas in a great and highly civilized country like France. We were asked by the new gov ernment to use our good offices jointly with those of European powers in the interests of peace. The answer was made that the established policy and the free interests of the United States, forbade them to interfere in European questions jointly with European powers. I ascertained informally and unofficially that the government of North Germany was not then disposed to listen to any such represent ations trom the powers, and wishing to see the blessings of peace restored to the govern ments—with all of whom the United States are on terms ot friendship—I declined on part of tins government to take a step which would only result in injury to our true interests without advancing the object for which our intervention was invoked. Should the time come when the action of the United States can hasten the return of peace by a single hour, that action will be heartily taken. 1 deemed it prudent, in view of the number ot persons ot German and French birth living in the United States, to issue, soon litter official notice of a state of war had been received trom both belligerents, a proclamation, defin ing the duties of the United States as a neutral, and the obligations of persons resid ing within their territory to observe their laws mm me laws oi nations, inis proclamation Was followed by others, as circumstances seemed to call for them. The people, thus acquainted in advance, of their duties and obligations, have assisted in preventing violations of the neutrality of the United States. It is not understood that the condition of the insurrection in Cuba lias materially changed, since the close of the last session 01 Congiess. In an early stage of the contest, Spain inaugurated a system of arbitrary ar rests, close confinements. and of military trials and executions of persons suspected of com plicity with the insurgents. and of a summa ry embargo of ail tliei properties, and the sequestration of their revenues by the execu tive warrant. Such proceedings, so far as they affect the citizens of the United States, were in violation of the provisions of the treaty of 1795, between the I'nited States and Spain. The representation of injuries result ing to several persons claiming to be citizens of the United States, by reason of such viola tion, was made to the Spanish government. From April ltd!!) to June last the Spanish Minister at Washington had been clothed with a limited power to aid in repressing such wrongs; that power was found to he with drawn, in view, ns it was said, of the favora ble situation in which the Island of Culm then was, which did not. however, lead to a re vocation or suspension of the extraordinaryand arbitrary functions exercised by the execu tive power in Cuba, and we were obliged to make our complaints at Madrid. Ill the ne gotiations thus opened, and still pending there, the United States claimed that for the future, the rights secured to .lieir citizens by treaty should be respected, and that as to the past a joint tribunal should lie estab lished ill the United States, w ith full juris diction of ail such claims. Before such an impartial tribunal, each claimant would be required to prove his ease. On the other hand, Spain would be at liberty to traverse every material fact, and thus complete equity would be done. A case which at one time threatened seriously to affect the relations between the United States and Spain, lias already been disposed of in this v.ay. The claims of the I.loyd’s “Aspin wail for illegal seizure and detention of that vessel, was referred to arbitration by mutual consent, and has resulted in award to the United States for the owners of the same, 819,702.50 in gold. Another and long pending claim of a like nature—that of the whale ship “Canada” lias been disposed of by friendly arbitrament, during the present year. It was referred by the joint consent of Brazil and the United States to the decision of Sir Edward Thornton, llor Britannic Majesty’s minister at Washington, who kindly undertook the task of examining the voluminous mass of correspondence and testimony contributed by thetwogovernments, and awarded to the United States government the sum of 8100,740.09, in gold, which has since been paid by the Imperial Government. These recent examples show that the mode which the U. States have proposed to Spain for adjusting the pending claims, is just and feas ible, and that it may be agreed to by cither nation without dishonor. It is to be Imped that this moderate demand may be acceded to by Spain without further delay. Should the pending negotiation unlortunately and unex pectedly be without result, it will then be come my duty to communicate that fact to Congress, nnd invite its action on the aubject. The long deferred peace conference between Spain and the allied South Ameiican repub lics, has been inaugurated in Washington un der the auspices of the United States. Pur suant to the recommendation contained in the resolution of the House of Representatives of the 17th of Dec., 1SCG, the executive depart ment ot the government offered its friendly offices for the promotion of peace and harmo ny between Spain and the allied republics, hut hesitations and obstacles occurred to the acceptance of the offer. L itunatciy, nowever, acomerence wasopeneu in this city on the 29th ot October last, at which I authorized the Secretary of State to preside. It was attended by the Minister* of Spain, l’ern, Chili, and Ecquador, in conse quence of the absence of a representative from itolivia, the conference was adjourned un til the attendance of a plenipotentiary from that republic could be secured, or other meas ures could be adopted towards compassing its object. The allied and other republics of Spanish origin on this continent may see in this fact a new proof of our sincere interest in their welfare; of our desire to see them blessed with good governments, capable of maintaining order and preserving their respec tive territorial integrity, and of our sincere wish to extend our own commercial and social relations with them. The time is not probably far distant when in the natural course of events the European political connection with this continent will cease. (Jur policy should be shaped in view of this probability, so as to ally the commercial interests of the Spaniah-American States more closely to our own, and thus give the United States all the pre-eminence and all the advantages which Mr. Monroe,Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay contemplated when they proposed to join in the Congrt ss of Panama. During the last session of Congress a treaty for the annexation of the Re public of San Domingo to the United States, failed to receive the requisite two-thirds vote of the Senate. 1 was thoroughly convinced then that the best interests of this country commercially and materially demanded its ratification. Time has only confirmed me in this view. I now firmly believe that the moment that it is known that the United Slates have entirely abandoned the project of accepting as a part of its-terrtory, the Is land ot San Domingo, a tree port will be ne gotiated for by European nations. In the Hay of Sarnana, a large commercial city will spring up to which we will be tributary with out receiving corresponding benefits. The government of San Domingo has voluntari ally sought this annexation. It is a weak power, numbering probably less than 120, 000 souls, and yet possessing one of the richest localities under the sun, and capable of supporting a population of 10,000,000 of people in luxury. The people of San Do mingo are not capable of maintaining themselves in their present condition, and must look for outside support. They yearn tor the protection of our tree institutions, and laws, our progress and civilization. Shall we refuse them The acquisition of San Do mingo is desirable because of its geographical position. It commands the entrance of the Carribean and the Isthmus, the transit of com merce. It possesses the richest soil, the l-.st and most capacious liurbor, the most salubri ous climate, and the most valuable products of the torests, mines, and soil of any of the West India islands. Its possession by the United States will, in a few years, build up a coastwise commerce o( immense magnitude, which will go far towards restoring to us those articles which we consider greatly and do not produce, thus equalizing our exports and im ports. In case of a foreign war, it will give vent an enemy from again availing himsell of rendezvous on our coast. Trade between the States bordering on the gulf of Mexico, is by the Bahamas and tile Antilles. Twice we must, as it were, pass through foreign coun tries to get by from Georgia to the west coast of Florida. San lfomingo, witlt a suitable government under which her immense re sources can be developed, will give remuner ative wages to ten thousand laborers not now upon the island. This labor will take advan tage of every available means of transporta tion to abandon the adjacent islands and seek the blessings ot freedom and its consequences, each inhabitant receiving the reward of his own labor, l’orto Kico and Cuba will have to abolish slavery us a measure of sclt-preserva tion. to retain their laborers, San Domingo will become a large consumer of the products of Northern farmers and manufacturers. The cheap rate at which her citizens can be fur nished with food, tools and machinery, will make it necessary that the contiguous islands have the same advantages, in order to com pete in the production ot sugar, cotfee, to bacco, tropical fruits, &c. This will open to us a wider market for our products. The production of our own supply of these arti cles will cut oil' more than one hundred mil lions of our annual imports, besides largely in creasing our exports. With such a picture, it is easy to see how our large del* abroad is ultimately to be ex tinguished. With abidance of trade against it, including the interest on bonds held by for eigners and money shipments to our citizens travelling in foreign lands, equal to the entire yield of precious metals in this country; it is not so easy to sec how this re sult is to be otherwise accomplished. The acquisition of Nan Domiugo is an adherence to the Monroe doctrine. It is a measure of nutional protection. It is asserting our just claim and controlling influence over the great commercial trafilc, soon to flow from west to east by way of the Isthmus of Darien; it is to build up our merchant marine, and it is to furnish new markets for the products of our farms, shops and manufactories. It is to make slavery insupportable in Cuba and Por to Kico at once, ami ultimately so in llrazil; it is to settle the unhappy condition of Cuba, ami end an exterminating conflict; it is to pro vide honest means of paying our honest debts w ithout overtaxing the people; it is to fur nish our citizens with the mcessaries of ev ery day life at cheaper rates than ever befoYe; ami it is, in tine, a rapid stride towards that gri atness wliieb the intelligence and enterprise of the citizens of the l nitotl h»uu», entitle this country to assume among nations. In view of the importance of this question, I earnestly

urge upon Congress early action, impressive of its views as to the best memos of acquiring San Domingo. My suggestion is, that by a joint resolution of the two Houses of Congress, the executive be authorized to appoint a commission to negotiate a treaty with the authorities of San Dotningo for the acquisition of that island; that an appropria tion be made to defray the expenses of such commission, and the question then be deter mined bv the action ot the two houses of Con gress upon a resolution of annexation, as in the case of the acquisition of Texas. So con vinced am I of the advantages to flow from the acquisition of San Domingo, and of the great disadvantages, I might almost say calamities, from the non-acquisition, that I believe the subject has only to be investigated to be ap proved. It is to be regretted that our representations in regard to the injurious effects, especially upon the revenue of the I nited States, of the policy of the Mexican government in exempt ing from export duties the products ofa large tract of its territory on our borders, have not only been fruitless, hut that it is even pro posed in that country to extend the limits within which the privilege adverted to has been enjoyed. The expediency of taking into serious consideration proper measures for counteracting the policy referred to, will, it is presumed, engage your earnest attention. It is the obvious interest, es pecially of neighboring nations, to provide against the impunity of those who may have committed high crime within their bor ders, and who may have sought refuge abroad, tor this purpose, extradition treat ieJ have been conciuaen wun several oi me Central American republics, and others are in progress. The sense ot the Congress is desired as early as may be convenient, upon the proceedings of the commission on the claims against Venezuela, as communicated in my messages of March 4th. lHfifl, March 1st, 1870, and March 31st. 1870. It has not been deemed ndvisahle to distribute any ot the money which has been received from the gov ernment. until Congress shall have acted upon the subject. The massacre of the French and Russian residents at Teintsin, under circumstances of great barbarity, were supposed by some to have been premeditated, and in a purpose among the populace to exterminate foreigners in the Chinese empire. The evidence fails to establish such a supposition, but shows a com plicity by the local authorities and the moh. The government at Pekin, however, seems to have been disposed to fulfill its treaty obliga tions. so far as it was able to do so. Unfor tunately the news of war between the German States and France reached China soon after the massacre. It would appear that the pop ular mind became possessed witli the idea that this contest extending to Chinese matters, would neutralize the Christian influence and power, and that the time was coming when the superstitious mass might expel all foreign ers and restore the mandarin influence. An ticipating trouble from this, I invited France and North Germany to make an authorized suspension of hostilities in the east, where they were temporarily suspended by an net of tile commanders, and to act together for the future protection in China of the lives and properties of Americans and Europeans. Since the adjournment of Congress, the rat ifications of the treaty with Great Hritain, for abolishing tlie mixed courts for the suppres sion of the slave trade, have been exchanged It is believed that the slave trade is now con fined to eastern Africa, where the slaves are taken to Cuban markets. The ratification of the naturalization convention between Great Britain and the United States, has also been exchanged during the recess, and thus a long standing dispute between the two govern ments has been settled in accordance with the principles always contended for by the United States. In April last, while engaged in locating a military reservation near Pembina, a corps of engineers discovered that the commonly re ceived boundary line between the United States and the British possessions at that place is about 4,700 feet south of the true po sition of the 49ih parallel, and tlmt the line when run on what is now supposed to be the true position of that parallel, would leave the fort of the Hudson's Bay Company at Pem bina, and within the territory of the United States. This information being communicated to the British government, I was requested to consent, and did consent, that the British oc cupation of the fort of the Hudson's Bay Com pary should continue for the present. I deem it important, however, that this part of the boundary line should be definitely fixed by a joint commission of the two governments, and I submit herewith the estimates of the ex penses of aucb a commission on the part of the United States, and recommend an appropria tion for that purpose. The land boundary has already been marked from the summit of the Rocky Mountains to the Georgian Bay. It should be now in like manner marked from the Lake of the Woods to the summit of the Rocky Mountains. 1 regret to nay mat no conclusion nas ueeu reached for the adjustment of the claims against Great Britain growing out of tliecourse adopted by that government during the rebel lion. The cabinet of London, so far as its views have been expressed, does not appear to be witling to concede that Her Majesty's government was guilty of negligence, or did or permitted any act during the war by which 1 the United States had a just cause of com- I plaint. My ever firm and unalterable eon- j fictions are directly the reverse. 1 therefore i recommend to Congress to authorise the ap pointment of a commission to take proof of the amounts and the ownership of the private claims, as well as the responsible control ul ail the demands against Great Britain. It cannot bo neecsrary to add that whenever Her Majesty's government shall entertain the de sire for a lull and friendly adjustment of these claims, the United States will enter u|ion their consideration with an earnest desire for a conclusion consistent with the honor and in tegrity of both nations. The course pursued by the Canadian au thorities towards the fishermen of the United .Slates during the past season, has not been marked by a triendl/ feeling. By the first article of the convention of 1718, between Great Britain and the United States, it was agreed that the inhabitants of the United Slates should have forever, in common with j British subjects, the right of taking tish in tlu water which is therein defined. In the wa- I ter* which are not included in the limits j named in the convention, within three miles of the ports ot the British coa-t, it has been the custom for many years to give intruding fishermen of the Uni ed States reasonable warning of their violation of the technical rights of Great Britain. The Imperial Government understood to have delegated the whole or a share of its jurisdiction or control of those in-shore fish eries grounds to the colonial authority, known as the Dominion of Canada, ami this semi-independent hut irresponsib's agent, lias exercised its delegated powers in an un friendly way. Vessels have been seized without notice or warning, in violation ol the custom previously prevailing, and have been takea into the colonial ports, their voyages broken up and their vessels con demned. There is reason to believe that this unfriendly ami vexatious treatment, w as de signed to bear harshly upon the hardy fish ermen ol the United States, with a view to political effect upon this government. The statutes of the Dominion of Canada assume a still broader and more untenable jurisdic tion over the vessels of the United Mutes. They authorize olHeeis or persons to bring vessels hovering within three marine miles of any of the coasts, bay creeks or harbors of Canada into ports; to search the cargo, to examine the master under oath, to change rbe cargo and voyage, and to inflict upon him heavy peculiar/ penalties, if true answers »re not given; an/1 if such a vessel is found preparing to fish within three marine miles ot aay stu b coasts, buys, creeks or barbon, without a license, or after tlie expiration ot the period named in the last license granted to it, they provide that the vessel with her tackle, &e., &e., shall be forfeited. It is not known that any condemnations hare been made under this statute. Should the author ities of Canada attempt to enftrre it, it will become my dutv to take such steps as may be necessarv to protect the rights of tlie citi zens of the United States. It has been c laimed by Her Majesty’s ofHc. rs. that tlio fishing vessels of the United States have no right to enter the open ports of the British government in Notth America, except tor purposes of shelter and rep tiring damages, Ilf purchasing wood and obtaining water; that they have no right to enter at the British custom houses, or to trade there except for purchasing of wood and water; that they must' depart within twenty-four hours after notice J to leave. It is not known that any seizure of a fishing vessel carrying the United States flag has been made under this claim. Softer as the claim is founded on an alleged construe- j tion oft lie convention of ISIS it cannot be acqui- i esced in by the United States. It is hoped that itwill not be insistedon by Her Majesty's gov- j eminent. During the conference which pre eeaea xn8 bounty land warrants, were issued. At its close 193,070 names were on the pen sion rolls. Tlte labors of the pension office have been directed to a severe scrutiny, of the evidence submitted in favor of law claims, and in discovery of fictitious claims which have been allowed heretofore. The appropriation for employment of special agents for the investigation of frauds lias been judiciously used, and the results obtained have been of unquestionable benefit to the ser vice. The subjects of education and agriculture are of great interest to the success of our republican institutions and to our happiness and grandeur as a nation. In the interest of one a bureau has been established in the In terior department—the buieau of education— and in the interest of the other a separate department, that of agriculture. I believe that great general good is to How from the operations of both ot these bnreaus if prop erly fostered. I cannot commend to y«ur careful consideration too highly the reports of the Commissioners of Education and Ag riculture, nor urge too strongly such liberal legislation as to secure their efficiency. In conclusion I would sum up the policy of the Administration to be a thorough enforce ment of every law a faithful collection of the revenue; economy in the disbursement of the same; prompt payment of the heavy debt of the nation; a reduction of the taxes as rapid ly as the requirements of the country will ad mit, the reduction of the taxation to be so at ranged as to afford the greatest relief to the greatest number; honest and lair dealings with all other people, to the end that war with all its blighting consequences may be averted, but without surrendering any right or obliga tion due us; a reform in the treatment of In dians and in the whole civil service cf the country; and finally, in securing a pure un trammelled ballot, where every man who is entitled to cast a vote may do so just once at each election, without fear of molestation on account of his political faith, nativity or color.

I'or’m'n SEVENTH DAY-MOSDAV. The Court came in at 9 30. The jury were in their seats and the prison er was in the dock. The court room was not so densely filled at the hour of opening, as on some previous mornings, but as the hours 'passed hy th“ crowd of spectators steadily increased, until at the time when Mr. 1‘dlshnrv closed his ar gument, the room was crowded to its utmost capacity. The Court, (at 9 40—)You may proceed. Mr. I.ibbey—May it please your Honor, 1 understand my associate desires to have brought in the articles of clothing to be exhib ited as evidence in the case at the commence ment. The Court—The officer having them in charge can do so. [The trunk containing them was brought in. 1 At precisely 9:45, the Hon. E. F. 1’ills bury, one of the counsel for the defense, arose and said:— [The prisoner was affected to tears at the wi y upcmii^. j May it please your Honor anti gentlemen of the Jury.—I am painfully impressed with the re sponsibility restiug upon me in attempting to make a last appeal in behalf of this unfortunate, tempest-tossed prisoner, to you. Would th it 1 were possessed of that wealth of wisdom, that power of eloquence, that would enable me to per form this solemn duty, in a manner befitting the magnitude of the issues involved. He stands at the bar, a stranger among strangers, charged with a crime involving his life. IIis* lite has been a lile of tempest and storm—of sorrow and suf fering—more than generally falls to the lot of man; aud death, stripped of the terrors that is sought to be thrown around it, might well be welcomed by him as a haven of rest. Of him it may truly be said that “man is born to trouble as the sparks tiy upward.’’ Horn of humble parents, early cast upon his own resources to struggle with tlie dillicu ties of life, has been deprived of parents, of brother, of sister, of first one wife, h second wife, a child; and last, a last wife—the sole object of his affec tions upon earth, who after Iqidmg him a life of bitterness, has at last compelled him to drink to the dregs the bitterest cup that is possible for a wife to present to a husband’s lips. Ami when, amidst this storm of trouble, in a moment of frenzy, he strikes down the pollutor of his mar riage bed and the destroyer of his peace, for this act he is arraigned here, alone—with no friend to encourage, to sit by him and counsel him, friendless and alone, alone, wiih the government with its strong arm stretched out seeking to send him to an infamous dealh upon tlie gtllows, —his body, to a dishonored grave,—above which the flowers sh ill never bloom, hut instead the winds, laden with the execrations of mankind eh ill forever hiss. God help me to do my duty, in this hour of his peril. Gentlemen, your duties arc responsible; prob ably in all your lives you will never again have such responsibilities resting upon you as are now. The issues you are trying here are the issues of life and death. You may be said to be treading t lie courts of death; trewl lightly tkeai> light ly the cords you are to touch here are the bearts-triugs of a fellow-being Touch them tenderly. J he powers you are exercising here are the nearest approach to the attributes of the Great Judge of All,—that are ever exercised upon earth; and as>ou hop« for mercy before Him, judge in mercy, remembering that in all the earth, before Him, none are guiltle.-s—not onet not one and however guilty this man may be, the only difference between him and you and me, is but a difference in degree. impressed with the weight of responsibility resting upon us all, and with the solemnity of the occasion, let us put aside every prejudice— every unworthy thought, and come dispassion ately and calmly to the consideration of the is sues pend in if in this case. Wh it is the charge upon which this prisoner is arraigned before you It is a charge of mur der—-if murder with express malice aforethought. Hie Indictment involves the charge; the gov. eminent has placed the case upon the theory that the crime is one of murder with express malice aforethought, and upon that issue, gentlmen, we defend; we accept the issue upon the theory as they present it—we can accept it upon no other, i'll it is the the theory. It the theory is sustained they are entitled to your verdict; we defend upon that issue; wc desire no comprom ises, we desire no evasions. The issue is pre seated upon the theory of the government, and upon that line we defend. Now what constitutes murder with which, up on the theory of the government, this prisoner ischirged? Utackstone detiues murder—“when a person of sound memory and discretion, un liwfully kdletli any reasonable creature in being and un ier the king’s peace, with m dice afore thoughts, either expressed or implied.”—To sus. tain the charge under this definition, the fol lowing tacts .tie necessary to be proved. Tin agent must be of sound memory and discretion; there must bean actual killing:, the party killed must be a reasonable being alive; there must hi malice, either express or implied. Tnis rule as l understand lias been modified b> j the statute of Maiue. So that if murder in the first degree, with malice aforethought, ischarg i ed, it must bo express mil ice, according to the popular understanding of the worJ'1 malice;** there must be a malicious, evil disposition, evil intent,—existing against the party killed. Malice aforethought, is given by Sergeant Foster: [Crown L»w, pp. *253 an 1 g,V7] that the “fact ii.uh beeu attended with such circumstances as are the ordinary symptoms of a wicked, de praved, uitlignaut spirit.” The ’ll of Greeu bef, Sect. It, thus defines malice aforethought “i’nis term is understood to mean that general malignity and recklessness of the rights and per sonal satety of others which proceed from a heart void of a just sense of social duty and fatally bent ou mischief.” Now, geutlemen, we contend that it is incum bent upon the government in this case, to sus tain their tlieor> and to prove express malice, like the case of a in m who kills another for money, w ho deliberately plans, and c alcuUtes with an object, an object of gain, something to be ac- complished, au accomplishment of some revenge, deliberately plans and puts his plan in execution. In tins case, gentlemen, there is not a particle of evidence showing any enmity in the heart id this respondent against the deceased. There is uui ji p iruc;e oi eviucuce nut wuai uii1) were upon thy best terms; we couteud, gentlemen, iii.it the CiFOUiuntuiiCes developed in this Case u«» nut indicate >i intliguaut spirit aid wicked and cjrrupt heart; that the circumstances disclose no such thing. Is there no difference between a man deliberately planning the murder id' his neighbor lor money between that ctse and that of the husband who strikes down the adulteror in bis own home, beside his own bed, in the act which is to destroy his peace, his happiness for evei? is there no difference in the motive, in the spirit guiding the hand undersuch circumstances. Manslaughter, gentlemen, has been termed the killing of another without malic*, eitiiei express or implied, which m»y be either voluntary, upon a sudden heat, or involuntary, but in the commission of some unlawful act. [4th Blackstooe, Page 191.] The difference, as I understand it, gentlemen, giving my own opin ion, between muider and manslaughter, is tins. Murder is supposed to be Committed in cold blood—ttie result ut premeditation. Manslaugh ter is supposed to be Committed in a state oi heat, resulting from any passion, which ought to be controlled, but is not controlled; lor passion which cannot be controlled is not passion, which places any man within the pale of criminal law. Wou! 1 our laws justify the punishmeut of a uuu for doing mat from passion which he could not help doing? Is a man to be punished for im possibilities I contend that the commission oi an wet from paesion which is beyond control, does not bring a man within the pale of crimin al accountability. There are exceptions, l ad mit; exceptions in the case of a man who com tuns hu act while in a state of frenzy resulting from intoxication. M »ny an act is committed by men while intoxicated, under conditions when he has no power of Control over himself; but the law holds him responsible, and rightfully too; why? Because he takes the frenzy upon btmseli voluntarily; he tlriuks the intoxicating liquor, knowing its effects; he takes it knowing alt; In takes the responsibility of it. But suppose you, gentlemen, tuat a man were ou tnd bdore you, charged with a crime committed in a state ul frenzy, while lutoxicited; and it was shown to you that he was a man who never drank spirits, but that some one had poured that down his throat, against his will; and that under the in fluence ot liquor thus received into his stomach lie became trenzed, and committed an act ol homicide, f <r instance; would the law, would justice, hold the uiau responsible? Suppose you, that when thus frenzied against his will and by force, that be strikes dowu in his frenzy the one who Ins thus poured tiie cause of his frenzy down his throat,— would the law hold him re sponsible as a criminal for the act That is the c ise of this prisoner. This prisoner, not frenzied, from any act of his own—he did not take the frenzy upon himself voluntarily like the man who drinks from the intoxicating cup; it was placed on biro, and in his frenzy he struck dowu the man who forced it upou bun. Now, gentlemen, we claim thai the killing of j the adulterer found iu the act by the husband, I does not indicate a depraved and wicked heart; j but that the act is iu accordance with law, and I nature; that it results from an impulse coining j from an instinct planted by Nature’s Ood; an instinct that is univeisil in the human heart to defend one’s self, to defend the wife, the child and the parent. D*es not this instinct exist iu the hearts or all Suppose the best uiau m the com munity subjected to a wrong of this character; that he comes upon the adulteror or libertine in his own bou*e, at his own bed, in the act that .shall destroy his happiness forever; L ask you, if there is not in the heart ofevery man an instinct that prompts him to defend lus marriage bed, to defend his home, his honor, his all Does it eoure from a depraved he irt and a wicked nature? Gentlemen, this trial is liable to couie to all. No one is above danger. This life of ours is a ship that sails an unknown sea; we know not wh it its freight may be; whit storms, what ship wreck no one foresees. Now, gentlemen, there may be some men so con stituted that they ciq control themselves uuder such circumstances, but that there would be an im pulse from the iustiuct in the heart iu every in stance to do something, l think all will admit. I say, perhaps, some meu have sufficient power ot will, of self-control, to govern themselves uuder^ such circumstances; but, 1 believe, that no man can tell iu advance whether he could control him self or not. It is impossible for meu who have had no provocation of this character, it is impos sible for them to appreciate or to realize wuat its effect might be upon them. There are (inferences in minimi oi me pow ers of endurance of the human heart, lie who formed the plauets and fixed the limits ot their orbits in the Heavens, created, also, the human mind, and fixed the limits of its power of en durance.' And while some may have sufficient power to control themselves, resist this impulse resulting from the instinct implanted universally, most men, l si}, would uot have that power of controlling themselves. This instinct is not only imparted in the human heirt; you see it exhib ited throughout all animal life, at least through out the animals, Wherethe instinct to pair exists. The Creator has implanted an instinct to pair not only in the human family hut in a large pro portion of the animals, and the lords of the air; it is for a wise purpose. Where ill it instinct to i pair exists, this universal instinct to defend the in ite, to defend the home,to defend the otfspriug, is also found. And I say when you undertake to declare that this impulse is unnatural, and criminal, you are ouudeniulng the Creator who implanted it in the human heart. Uentlemeu, from the earliest history since the civilization of the race began, this wrong of robbiug a man of llie sanctity of his home, the purity of the marriage bed, lias been regarded as one of the greatest wrcugs possible to com mit upon another. Isiy further, that, the history of the race shows that it has uot ouly been regarded as jub of the greatest wrongs possible to perpetrate upoti another, but that the striking down of the o(fender, when caught in the act, has been re garded as justifiable by the moral sense of the civilized world. The command from God: “Thou shalt not commit adultry” stands now as it stood when given imperatively and solemnly to the human family. It may be said iu reply, that command Thou shalt not kill” is equally binding, l ad mit it, geiillenn n; but it cannot be taken iu an unlimited sense. If it is taken in the broadest' sense of the language, then I ask you to look upon the prisonei—the government asks you to ve a verdict that shall lake his life. I remind you of the command giveu from Alouuf Sinai: “Thou shalt not kill;” if taken iu the unlimited sense, there is connected with it the declaration: "Whoso sheddeth man’s blood,by mau shall his blood tie shed.** I say taken in an unlimited seme, it will apply to all cases of self-defence, to all cases of war. I do not contend, gentlemen, that it is so intended. I believe it means whoso shed detll blood, in the sense that I have given you the definition of the law whoever of sound mind and memory unlawfully takes the life of anolhe*. It cannot mean eases of killing in -elf-defence, and in the defence of mother, de fence of wife, ot children, of parents. But, gentlemen, there is no such explanation tor the other command; there is no chance to limit the command that “Thou shall not com mit adultery.” There is no chance for excep tion. Why, gentlemen, it is recorded in Gen esis, 20th chap., 3d to 7th verses, as you re memher, that when “Abraham and his wife Sarah were journeying, for fear of danger, Abraham called his wife his sister, and she called him her brother, and Abirneleeh was looking upon her to take her unto himself.” I will not read the whole of this account to you. In the 3d verse God eaine to Abirneleeh in a dream by night, and said to him, “Behold thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.” But Ahimeleclt had not come near her, and he said, “Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? Said he not unto me, she is my sis ter? and she, even she herself, said, he is my brother. In the integrity cf my heart and in noeeney of my hands, have I (lone this. And God said unto him in a dream, Yea I know that tiiou didst tuis in the integrity ot thy heart; lor I also withheld thee front sinning against me; therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. Now, therefore restore the man his wife, for lie is a prophet and tie shall prry for tltee and thou shall live; and if thou re store her not. know thou that thou shall sure ly die, thou and all that are thine.” Thus you perceive that the adulterer, com mitting the deed unknowingly, was thus con demned to death, thus threatened as a penaltv. Deuteronomy, til'd chap., 22d verse: “If a man he found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and tlte woman; so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.” Leviticus. 18th chap., 20th and 20th verses “Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor’s wife, to defile thyself with h t. For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that conn, it them shall bo cut off' from among their peo ole.” Ezekiel, 10th chap., 3.3th verse: “And I will judge thee as women that break wedlock, and shed blood, are judged, and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.” Ezekiel, 23d rliap., 44th to 40th verses “Yet they went in unto her, as they go in on to a woman that playeth the harlot: so wer.t they in unto Ahol.ih and unto Aholibah, tl o lewd women. And the righteous men, they shall judge them after .ho manner of adultei esses, and after the manner of women that shed blood ht cause they are adulteresses and blootl is in their hands. For thus saitli the Eord God, I will bring up a company upon1 them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled. And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with Are. riius will I cause lewdness to cease out of tl e lend, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness. And they shall recom pense your lewdness upon you. anti ye sin 1 near the sins of your idols, and ye shall know that 1 am the Lord God.” In the case recited, in the 13th and 14th chapter of the 2d of Samuel, you recollect the history. Amnon ravislnd Tamar, the sister of Absalom. You recollect the feigning of sickness and asking that the sister might come and minister to his wants; that he seized her and ravished her. Two years afterwards her brother Absalom caught Amnon with the oth er brothers away from the king, at the sheep shearing, and he there slew Amnon. Two years after the committal of this act, and when he returned, the king kissed him. Another case is given in Genesis, 34 chap I will not read all of that. You will remem ber it undoubtedly. Gentlemen, when Dinah the daughter of Leah went out into the coun try. Sheehem the son of Hamor, the Klivitc, prince of the country, took her and lay with iier and defiled her, and Jacob's sons pursued and slew, not only Sheehem hut all the males of the city, and when Jacob was alarmed and expressed his fears, they said unto him. Shall he deal with our sister us with a harlot? 1 next call your attention to tln*32J. 33d and 34th verses of the 6th chapter of Proverbs. “Hut whoso committeth adultery witu a woman lacketh understanding; he that doetli it destroyvth his own soul. A wound and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. For jealousy is the rrge of man; therefore he will not spare in tne day of vengeance. He will not regard any ransom, neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.” Thus, you perceive, that the crime of adul tery is not only denounced in the Scriptures in the strongest possible terms, but death was the penalty imposed and the result ol death by the avenging band of tile husband, father and brother when detected, is every where recog nized as the natural result to follow. It may he said in reply that Christ suffered the adulteress to go unpunished; the ease may he cited where he said “Let him who is without sin east the first stone." Well, gen tlemen, the example there set applies not only to adultery hut to any other crime. If the government sees fit to plant this upon that doctrine, you rcraemDer that Christ not only said this, hut he said “I have heard that it hath been 6aid an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth but 1 say unto you resist not evil.” I am willing that the example should be applied in this case; let him who is without sin east the first stone at this prisoner. Hat, gentle men, tiie worid is not yet up to that state of purity, to tlia,t condition of tilings, that will warrant tho administration of the law upon: the example there set. I have cited these doctrines from the Bible, showing that from, the earliest dawn of civilization, of Christian ity, adultery has been regarded as one of the greatest wrongs that can he perpetrated upoir man, and death front the avenging hand of the outraged party is a natural result. Now, having cited these authorities to show these facts from the Uible, I next pass to the early history of jurisprudence, to show you tiie light in which it lias been regarded by the law-givers of the world since civilization began. •Gentlemen, the laws of Solon, the great Grecian law-giver, whose wisdom will ever lie recognized through the coming ages as one of tiie wisest law-giVers that ever lived, tinder his law the slaying of a man found in the act of adultery hy the husband was justifiable, tolly and distinctly. It was the same under the Homan law it was the same under the reign of the Goths in England. 1 read from Ulucltstone, Hook 4, page 191 [Here the counsel read the citation.] [Counsel also read from ltusselt on Crimes vol. 1, page 681. Also from Hawkins vol. 1, chap. 1, section 80. Also lrom East's Pleas of the Crown, page 234.] There is indeed one species of provocation which, though it does not amount to personal also is yet of so grievous a nature as the law reasonably concludes cannot be borne in the first transport of passion, where the injury is irreparable and can never bo compensated; this is where a man finds another in the act of adultery with his wife, in which case if lie kills him in the first transport of passion, he is guilty only of manslaughter, and that too of the slightest degree. This, gentlemen, was the luw of England; this was the mode of administering it in the early ages, when the penalty was death for stealing. If a man committed larceny he suffered the penalty of death but if lie slew a man tuund in the act of ndultery with his wife, he was simply, tor form's sake burned »lightly in the hand, because the provocation was greater than flesh and blood could bear. Gentlemen, there have been a great many cases tried, and verdicts for manslaughter

Page 3

found, where the provocation was like this pulling the nose; «uch a case is cited in Arehebold, page 81G—I will not take time to read it—where a man pulled another man's nose and he struck him ilown in his passion, that was determined to be but simply man slaughter. Another in Russell upon Crimes, where a man riding along the highway on his horse, another came out anil whipped his horse out of the path; he sprang off and struck him down; that was determined to be simple manslaughter. Cases have been decided where a simple slap upon the cheek and the slaying following it, and that was held to be manslaughter. Now, gentlemen, if it is but manslaughter to strike down a man for slapping you in the face, what ought it to be for striking down a man, who comes to your own domicile, inside your own home and there commits an act that blasts your happiness for life, renders home a hell, and the object of your affection an ob ject of hatred, a wrong that can never be compensated, that cannot be wiped out? Having shown you what the law was and the mode of administering it in the rigorous days of the early history of written jurispru dence, I want to call your attention now to the American law upon this subject. The first case to which I will call your at tention is Ryan’s case, reported in the note in Archebald, vol. 1, page aid. flic counsel then read the citation.] Now, in that case, gentlemen, you see the long time that had elapsed, the time for killing the man, running away, attempting to escape, ottering a bribe, then alter the criminal act was alleged to have been convicted the jury found a verdict of manslaughter; the court instructed them that if they were satisfied from the evidence that the respondent slew him in the act, it was justifiable homicide, in defence, in self-defence, the assent of the wife making no change as to his rights. The next ease to which I call your atten tion is reported in the same volume, page 815, the case ot Smith tried recently in l'hiladel phia for killing Carter. [Counsel then read the citation.! There were two other eases which I had in-» tended to cite; but the authorities I have neglected to take with me—The ease of Day and Jarbeau, tried in the city of Washington. He was charged with murdering the seducer of his sister. The deceased had entered into a promise of marriage with his sister, and had violated it: he nevertheless polluted her per son and left her iu that condition in which she should «n!y have been after marriage. This brother, infuriated by the conduct of the de ceased, after first asking him what he in tended about it and not getting a satisfactory answer, slew him on the spot. In that ease the Jury acquitted him. The next ease I will cite to you. is that of and there is a report in the note in Areheliald, Singleton and Mercer, who was tried in lsdd in the State of New Jersey. [Counsel here read from the ease cited.]' The next American ease is that of Sickles. Vol. 1, l'ages 10 and 1*. [The counsel here read the citation.] Now, gentleman, I want to read to you from the note of the following eases. After reciting these and other cast s, and one of them I lost, as I already remarked, one of my pages of reference, notes on which several cases were referred to, i se one of them, be fore me, a case tried in France in ltUif. Counsel here reads the ease.] Now. gentleman, since these trials trans pired, and since the note which I read to you was written, other trials have taken place of a similar character in American courts. First there is the ease ol Gen. Cole. During his absence in the army, during the rebellion, his wife was seduced by one lliscock. and the crime of adultery was committed. After Cole's return, living in Troy, N. V., his wife confessed to him. Two days, I believe, after, it had come to his knowledge, he w ent from Troy to Albany, where Hiseoek was a member of the constitutional convention of the State of New Yoik, then in sessioh he went to one public house and put up, and went to another called Sleinway’s hull; as he entered he saw Hiseoek standing talking with another man; he instantly drew- hi* revolver and shot him down; he was tried and ac quitted. Next, as a prominent ease, is that of McFar land, more recently"tried. In that ease, where there was no positive evidence of adultery between Richardson and McFarland's w ife, there was evidence indicating that he had alienated her affections from her husband; they had separated, and she had refused to live with him for a long period of time, I don’t remember how long, and in consequence of the trouble growing out of it, it was al leged that McFarland became gloomy; his mind became disordered lie made an attempt to shoot Hiehardson, and wounded him hut failed to kill him: afterward, a long time afterward, he went into the office of the New York Tribune, took a position behind the desk, Richardson being in the habit ot coming in there—being connected with it; he took a position behind the desk, waiting the com ing «f Richardson when he came in lie shot him and wounded him, from which wound he died. 11c was tried, a long tedious trial, and he. too, was acquitted. Gentlemen, we nave one ease reierreu cy my associate counsel, in this State, the case of Mrs. l’arker in Portland she had become convinced that there was an adulterous inter rouse carried on between her husband and Mrs. Baker; she went and lay in wait for them, went to a public place, a public prome nade, where she supposed they might be; she found them sitting upon a bench going armed with a revolver loaded and capped, and when she found them sitting upon that bench to gether, she drew her revolver and fired upon Mrs. Barker and wounded her, not succeed ing in Willing her. In that case, Mrs. Parker acted in a frenzy resulting from jealousy. Site was tried, 1 >r. Harlow appeared as a wit ness upon the question of frenzy; the jury acquitted her, anti yet the court when mention was made to the State’s counsel to send her to the Insane Hospital under the law provid ing for it in cases for its acquittal for insanity, tlie court refused to send her, remarking that lie saw no evidence to satisfy Uis mind of in i sanity;—this was his Honor Judge Goddard. Now then, gentleman, we show to you a line, an unbroken line of decisions in this country of the same character, not only pre vious to the trial of Sickles when the note j was made I read to you, that from the fore going eases which were tried, that the senti iijont of the civilized world justifies the homi cide of the wanton destroyer of female char aeter and domestic happiness, and that the sentiment will find practical expression in the I verdict of jurors on the trial of such cases. Gentlemen, that was not only the condition of i the public mind of the civilized world then, I hut those eases since, which I have cited to you show that there has been no change in the sentiment of the civilized world, upon this subject. So you see that the sentiment expressed and pervading the Bible upon these questions pervades the civil law of the world, and is demonstrated by the verdicts of juries not i only in this country but in others that the slaying of a wanton destroyer of female vir tue and domestic happiness is justifiable. Gentlemen, shall it bo said in this ease, that this unbroken line of decision, i* to be bro ken, that the moral sentiment of the civilized i*1 world is to bo outraged, that the current of public thought, of moral sense which has thus demonstrated itselt throughout all the past j„ history of the administration of justice in eiv ilizcd countries, is to he turned back now. Is it to he said that the Kennebec jury has any less regard for a husband’s honor, for the fa purity of the marriage bed, the sanctity of I the marriage relation, than juries in New b" York or K the jealous confirmations strong as Holy writ.** Here the counsel, commented upon the testi mony, showing unsound mss of mind,—Mr. White’s, Dr. Briekett's and others. Refers to numerous similar eases, all in one direction. Sickles. Cole, McFarland, and others. Oi Gen. Sickles, he said: He was not only ac quitted by the jury, but has been honored by your country; be held his seat in Congress and now represents your nation abroad in a for eign country, honored by the nation and you, gentlemen, to-day, through the government that is overtoil, with one hand here holding a crown of glory, a wreath of honor upon the head of Gen. Sickles, while you are asked with the otfier to send this man to the gallows or to prison lor doing what Sickles did, under far less provoking circumstances. There i» no pretence that Sickles d seoverec his wife in any act of adultery; it was brought to his knowledge, she confessed it twenty-four hours before the deed was done. He was out in the street in the open day. upon the Sabbath, with hi-revolver in his hand* he says to Key: “You have dishonored me. and you must die.” He shot at him, after he was down; fired a a shot and sent that man into eternity, with out any personal evidence before him. Tin man slew the destroyer of his peace, the vio lator of his marriage bed. He closed as follows Gentlemen, a few words.more, a conviction of this man by you will be an encouragement to rdulierous liber-1 tines. For what purpose are you asked to! punish this man? Wnat is the object of it? j Why. it is that it may be said to husbands who discover men in the act of adultery with j their wives, it is to say to husbands, spare him, is it not? If you do not the law will pun- 1 ish you. The object of it is to prevent bond- j t ides under such circumstances. You were so I told in the opening. It is to prevent others j from striking down the adulterer when thus discovered. Well, gentleman, if the punish- j merit of crime has tins effect, if the punish ment of the man w ho does it will deter others from doing the same thing under similar cir cumstances, it follows, does it not, that you 6»y to the adulterer, go on—if the husband discovers you and strikes you down, we will punish him? It encourages him, does it not, if you by vour verdict estab.ish a different rule from that which has been established in almost the entire civilized world by juries in other eases, that when the adulterer comes into your dwelling or the dwelling of a neigh bor to commit the crime of adultery with his wife, that he docs it with his life in his hand; Khat if discovered and slain the law w ill not interpose a shield. If you let it oe known when he does it with the sword of the husband hanging over him, it will deter him. won't it r If the punishment of crime will deter others j from committing it, then when you say to the adulterer, the avenging sword of the outraged husband hangs over you, that w ill deter him. If, on the other hand, you say to him, if that outraged husband and father strikes you down, the law* shall punish him, you encour age him in his wicked deeds. You by your verdict, if you convict his man, commission the adulterer and the libertine to go on in their work of spoliation and destruction. On the other hand, will it prevent homicides of thi^ character to convict and punish? 1 say it w ill not. The Bible says truly that ‘‘jeal ousy is the rage of man; he will not spare in the day of vengeance.”. It you were to remitr u verdict ot guilty, to-night, against this man. and to-morrow night a man should find an adulterer in bed j with hia wife, in your State, do you lielieve that this ease would come into his mind, do you believe it would have the least control over him, the least effect? I say it is an im pulse, that is uncontrollable from the natural instinct, and when a man is thus frenzied by such a provocation there is no such thing as control; you might as well undertake to di rect a tornado, you might as well undertake to command the surcharged cloud to withhold its lightnings or the ocean to lie still beneath the furious lashings of the storm. Such is the rage of man and he will not spare in the day of vengeance. It follows, if I am correct, that by a con viction you encourage ndiilttrv and do net prevent homicide; it incidentally follows in consequence, you actually enconragt homi cide for the greater the number of adulteries the greater the percentage of discovery and if conviction and punishment do not deter homicide under such occasions, why. by con- vieting, you indirectly encourage homicide, j that is by encouraging causes that produce them. 1 say therefore, there is no public interest to be subserved by the establishment of any such precedent. It is not in the interests of society, it is not in the interests of good mor als, it cannot have any good effect. Now, gentlemen, as 1 said in the start, the theory of the government upon which they ask this man's conviction, is. that he is guilty of murder with express malice aforethought. We meet them upon that issue, wo ask no compromise, wo desire none, no splitting of differences, hut a square, open verdiet upon the issue, upon the theory as the government presents it. Gentlemen, the law allows this pri-oner, lie has a right, under the law, to demand tile concurrent opinion of twelve men before he can he convicted; it is not a majority and the rest to yield; it throws this shield around his life and liberty, that before he can he convict ed, there must he an actual concurrence of twelve minds. It does not mean getting to gether and casting lots or saying “1 guess we had better agree upon this matter in some way or other. “Each man is to decide foi himself. There are twelve units of minds up on this jury. The evidence is to have its ef fect upon each by himself, and the responsi bility is upon each man, just tho same a> though he stood alone upon this jury.
