The North Carolina B.aptist State

body of fine looking men, and among
the number are some of the ablest
preachers iD the State, and many
prominent business men.
At lo o'clock Hon. J. C. Scarbor
ough, t he president, called t he body
to order and l'JO regularly accredit
ed delegates were reported by the
committee on credentials.
Proceeding to regular organiza
tion Mr. Scarborough declined re
election as president. Col. I. L.
Folk and Rev. C. T. Bailey, 1) I),
were the leading candidates on first
ballot. Col. Polk declined in a very
graceful speech, in favor of Br.

very flattering rote. ;
The following remaining olbcers
were unanimously chosen:
l-'ir.t v;ce-president Col. L. L.
Folk, of Baleigh.
Second vice president Rev. J.
I). 1 1 ut ham, of Scotland Neck.

senting the western convention,
were welcomed as visitors.
Rev. . L. Wright, pastor of the
Baptist church at Keidsville, de- j
livered an address of welcome, and
by request of the president, Dr.
Skinner, of Raleigh, responded.
A committee was appointed on
the B.aptist orphanage, and at once .
much enthusiain was expressed for;
the movemeut, which has been such
a phenomenal success. j
In. the afternoon session other
delegates reported, and the reports
of the mission Ivoard, the Sunday
school board and the treasurer were
read.
The icp. rt on State missions ex
hibited tin- following tacts: New

The Sunday -school report shows j
twenty-lour new schools organized; j
total number of schools 77o; num

At night the church was densely"'
packed to listen to the introductory
sermon from Rev. J. M. McMana-
way. of Wilson. Keidsville is oue I
of the most thrifty of all our North:
'arolina towns, and its people are
as open and generous hearted as;
they are progressive. Think ot it, 1
ten vears ago there were oulv .500
people here, with two factories, now '
there are 1.."0U people, seventeen
lactones and six warehouses, and
the town is spreading; large, impos
ing brick structures take the place
ol small wooden shanties, and the
people are moving in every day.

The defendant would seem from his

Maudsley.
This is a motion for a new trial based
upon the testimony of two physicians
who have examined the prisoner since
his conviction. Were the case any other
than line of alleged insanity, the motion
would be denied upon the prelim i nary
ground that ihe evidence w a- not nevvly

the examination should not have been
made before the trial -more especially
as the defence of insanity was made at
the spring term of this Court. I am not
disposed, however, lo put the denial of
the motion on the grouiul of luclirx. If
the defendant ought not to be punished
for his admitted violation of the law. he
surely ought not. for failure to intro
duce his evidence in due time.
I proceed then to cn-ider the expert
testimony: The highly re. pei tal .1 e med
ical gentlemen w ho hav e ex oniiicd the
defendant, both expressed the opinion
that Jones Young was of disordered
mind . that while capable of d islinguish
ing between right and wrong with re
gard to his alleged crime, they thought,
one of them that he w as irresponsible,
the other that he was only partially re
sponsible. The great regard that I have
for the opinion of the w itnesses renders
it proper for me in liilfering from them,
or one of them, in one point ;'o give my
reasons for doing so. I am compelled
to hold upon their evidence that the de
fendant is resp aisible as matter of law.
Both by the rules laid down by courts
and by the opinion ot medical writers
on this branch of jurisprudence, mental
unsoundness doc- not necessarily bring
with it irresponsibility. There i-at las

must be considered . and that is the
safety of the community; the protection
of the greater and more valuable class
in it, who are not insane. A rule must
be laid down which will lot have the
eiTect of letting many cri in mals escape
through the I evvildermei.t ol juries.
Teuderness to the vv eak - commendable
as it is must ii"t be stretched so as to
endanger the lives or even the prope.ly

the ti lie end of pun isn mi n t . the previ n

class which -lands on the border line of

object of the liw in imposing sentences
is Lieiihei to punish nor to reform: the

possibility of affective insanity, but
holds it unsafe to make it a legal defence.
If such cases could be tested in any way,
perhaps some other rule than the one
now acted upon might be given. But
when we calf to mind the extent of
country, much of it not very well set
tled, which our law protects, the rare
ness of real experts. the danger of crude,
yet positive opinions, confidently,
thougn ignorantly pressed upon bewild
ered juries. we may wed appreciate
that public alarm, which, after Mc
Naughton s acquittal. induced. the House
of Lords, to ask the opinion of the Eng
lish judges on the law of insanity. The
expert who testifies to the discovery of
poison in human remains can actually
produce its metallic basis in presence of
the jury. But insanity is a defect or
a disease of the organ that thinks, the
brain. That can as yet be teted by no
analysis, eeen, while life exists, by no
lense. measured by no instrument. The
molecular change which accompanies
thought ceases at death, and wo but
guess 'at the physical functions of the
brain.
Conceding that the rule as it exists
is defective, its liability to operate un
justly. in exceptional cases dots not often
result in injustice. The prisoner is
tried by a jury of his neighbors and has
the benefit of the public opinion of the
community, which rarely fails to be
correct on the question of whether one
accused of crime ought to be punished.
In those cases in which that fails as it
sometimes does by reason of local feel
ing, there is the power of pardon vested
in the executive a power more often
abused by excess of mercy than of se
verity, if all these safe-guards fail
there remains the case, which must
sometimes occur in communities of
men, of an individual compelled to suf
fer, because by the defect of human
skill, he could not be protected without
public injury. The instances of the
pumshmentof men irresponsible through
insanity in modern times, even allowing
all the cases claimed as such by medical
writers, do not equal in number the
failures of justice through false testi
mony or false Inferences from circum
stances. With the most earnest desire
to do exact justice our courts must
always occasionally fail because judge,
jury and witnesses are men, and sub
ject to the limits of human nature.
But this would bo no reason for an
adherence to the present rule were a
sounder and safer one discovered. Med
ical writers have suggested none. The
alternative which would 8eem to be
the outcome of its objections to the
right and wrong test would be to allow
the medical experts summoned as wit
nesses to give their opinions upon the
question of the defendant's responsibil
ity and instruct the jury to decide upon
the weight of medical authority.
Manifold and apparently fatal ob
jections exist to this:
1. It would be contrary to the cour-e
of law and a practical substitution of a
tribunal unknown to our system, for
trial by jury. As Lord Campbell re
marked, to alio w a witness to give his
opinion as to the responsibility of the
accused, would be to leave to him the
precise question which the jury is em
panelled to decide.
2. Expert witnesses are employed by
parties to the litigation. Thus they are
selected not with a view to the discovery
of the truth, but to serve a particular
side. The medical men most likely
to be favorable to the case
of the defendant are naturally
selected by him. The prosecution as
naturally selects its experts upon simi
lar grounds. And without imputing
anything worse than ordinary and
excusable human infirmity .interest, pre
conceived ideas, partisanship, and the
desire for victory are liable to bias ex
pert testimony.
3. The physician sees the subject of
insanity from the standpoint of doctor
and patient, instead of from that of so
ciety and violator of law.
4. A specialist is not always a safe
witness for the very reason that makes
him a specialist. It is reasonable to ex
pect a man who had made a special
study of poisoning by arsenic, to often
see symptoms of arsenic poisoning even
when they do not exist.
5. But the great practical difficulty
would be that in the majority of cases
genuine expert testimony could not be
obtained, for the reason that our crimi
nal courts are held in hundreds of lo
calities in each of half a hundred States,
in places remote from cities and learned
men.
Resting under these conditions courts
are compelled to adhere to the rule
adopted by them in the past, not with
any blind reverence for it as a thing de
cided, but because science has as yet
provided them with nothing better.
But I do not consider the present case
as one of which from any point of view
irresponsibility could be predicated.
There can be no doubt but that Jones
Young knew that he was doing wrong
in committing the acts which led to his
conviction. His case is not one of irre
sistable impulse for his ebezzlment of
government funds was the result of
years of criminal conduct. His disease
is not general mania. On the contrary
both of the doctors say that he was only
occasionally insane. In cases of crime
from what is called a morbid irresistable
impulse, the criminal act of the patient
is the evidence of his insanity. In this
case the acts of the defendant are the
best evidence of his responsibility. Dur
ing a period of many years he has been
gui'ty of systematic fraud. His quar
terly returns rendered to the Postoffice
Department and sworn to. each quarter
have been regularly false. The amount
of overcharges have been each time
about the same, aud yet have each time
varied. It is impossible to suppose uni
form conduct covering a series of years
to be the result of an insanity consisting
of an occasional incapability of appre
ciating obligations when in "a state of
depression." The prisoner's conduct
has been that of an adroit criminal. The
doctors both fay that he may have
known right and wrong as to the acts
with which he is charged. One of them
believes him only partially responsible.
The other say-: "He is irresponsible
from a disordered brain from conduct
ing himself as a sane person should, and
that with ros-ibly not an absolute ignor
ance of right and wrong, he is when his
brain i.- in a state of depression unable
t i do right or to resist wrong. His rea
son is in obeyance or perverted. He
-eem- to be .'(..;, .-..My...-; iuciiU and has
mismanaged his public as his private af
fairs.' Tiie reasons given by the ex-p--rt
w itnes-e- for their opinions are:
tunc acti-.iis. mental peculiarities
exhilkcl in C'versation : excet-ive
anxiety with regard to health; apparent
i e k oi interest in his osition: and par
ticularly the existence of insanity in
tie- fa:r.:iy of defendant. All these
f ads ar-' consistent with sanity, and the
Later of thorn may explain all the re.-t.

A BO I" 1' SCHOOLS AMI COMl'LAIaTS
Some have thought that the Star was ;
not tustained by facts in what it said of
some of the abuses of schools. It was I
never supposed that a general discussion
was meant for all. What will apply to
one school will not touch another. We I
sometimes talk with teachers and pat
rons of schools, aud from them we not
only gather views but sometimes receive
notes and letters about certain defects
in the school system, real or supposed,
and all tii is shows us that the Star is not
engaged in idle work when it comments
in no unkind spirit upon evils that
ought to be remedied. Gentlemen in
this city have thanked us for what the
Star has said from time to time.
Only Friday last we received a letter
from a gentleman who complains of the
present plan of having a long, continu
ous term for the day, beginning at 9
o'clock and closing at 2 p.m.,or an hour
or two later sometimes. He thinks this
is making dyspeptics of children, and
thinks the old system altogether prefer
ablebeginning at 9 a. m., recess from
12 to 2, and then school again from 2 to
5 p. m. We agree with him in this, but
the teachers are "set in their ways" and
they will hardly change to meet the
wishes of even pptrons supposing there
was a consensus of opinion, which is
not the case, we suppose.
The same gentleman thinks with tho
Star that in some schools there are too
many books studied at the same time.
He thinks there ought to be more teach
ing and less reciting. That is to say,
that the instruction should be imparted
in school and not be left to the parents
to do the work at home. Some two or
three years since the Star had something
to say on this line. Our correspondent
writes:
"A gentleman told me recently that
hia children were being shoved s rapid
ly and had so many books to study that
he had to request the teacher to let them
drop some of them. He said they re
turned from school at 3, p. m., with but
little appetite for dinner, studied until
11 o'clock at night and then again early
in the morning, and he saw that at that
rate it would break down their constitu
tions. "
Parents who permit their children to
be overtaxed mentally and physically
are extremely neglectful of duty and
are really very culpable. It ought not
to be allowed.
Health is better than human learning.
A sound mind in a sound body was the
true theory of health as expounded by
some wise man old. A sufficient amount
of learning can be acquired by the av
erage child without imparing the phjs
ical health of cramming the mind.
Our correspondent also has another
grievance of the teacher a child is put in
a class above its capacity. He says
sometimes there is a want of tjudgment
or sympathy manifested when a child is
not taught, but is allowed to cry and
fret over its examples in arithmetic, for
instance, when a little judicious help
would greatly relieve the overtaxed and
struggling little one. He thinks there
is not enough discrimination always dis
played in enforcing discipline. He
says wisely that the "teacher us well an
the parent must be governed by the dis
position of his child." The wise teacher
is apt to be a good judge of human na
ture, and the considerate, humane
teacher will 1 ever willfully oppress or
in anger punieh unjustly. Teachers
have many trials and vexations to un
dergo of which the parents know noth
ing. The profession of teaching whilst
most honorable and deserving is beset
with difficulties. There are some very
unreasonable parents. Often very ab
surd complaints are made. The kindly,
thoughtful teacter will always bo will
ing to correct anything wrong in the
system when satisfied that it is wrong
and when pointed out in the right
spirit.

CRUSIIIXO DEFEAT OF THE BULGARIANS.
Pierot, Nov. 17. Servia has decided
to annex the Bulgarian area of the In
ternational railway route, which will
enable Servia to complete her lino of
railway; also the Widdin district, so
that she can construct a railway
to the lower Danube, to meet
the projected (Roumelian railway
from Krajova to Kalafat. Travellers
report that the Bulgarians are hopeless
ly depressed and expect the Servians to
enter Sofia forthwith. There are only
two battalions of Bulgarian infantry at
Widdin.
Belgrade, Nov. 17. The Servian di
vision marching on Widdin gave battle
to the Bulgarians near Widdin, and in
flicted upon them a crushing defeat.
The loss was heavy on both sides. The
Servians captured l,OOo prisoners. The
headquarters of the Servian army have
been fixed at Tsaribrod.
Constantinople, Nov. 18. The Porte
has sent to the powers its formal protest
against the Servian invasion of Bulgaria.
Turkey reserves the right to tako mili
tary action in the matter.
Belgrade. Nov.- IS. An official re
port from the front states that the Ser
vians entered Bresnik yesterday. The
Bulgarian army of the Wiedin district
may be considered destroyed and dis
spersed. London. Nov. IS The Bulgarians,
after desperate fighting, have carried
every one of theServjan positions which
were menacing Slivitzna. Prince Alex
ander led the Bulgarian columns in per
son. Brussels. Nov. 19. The Independence
Beige publishes a dispatch from its cor
respondent at Sofia stating that the
Servians attacked the third Bulgarian
regiment escorting an ambulance train
and bayonttted the wounded soldiers
which it contained. The correspondent
also states that Prince Alexander sub
mits to the terms of the Sultan, em
bodied in the latter 's reply to the
Prince's "appeal for help, and begs the
Sultan to aid him at once.
Vienna, Nov. 19. An official Servian
report, received this afternoon, says:
"Accounts telegraphed yesterday
that the Servian troops men
acing Slionitza were re
pulsed by Bulgarians under the imme
d iate command of Prince Alexander, are
false The Bulgarians succeedei in ap
proaching the Servian positions under
cover of a heavy fog, but after sharp
lighting were repulsed. The Servians
drove the Bulgarians to Slavinyi en
trenchments, and in the whole engage
ment had aOO men killed and wounded.
A reconnoiteriDg force sent in the di
rection of Slavinyi skirmished for two
hours with the Bulgarians and then re
tired within the Servian lines. "
Semlin. Nov. 19. Trustworty reports
received here state that the Servian loss
at Slevnitza yesterday was .three times
greater than that given in
the ot'leial account. and ac
tually exceeded the previous
total loss f ince the outbreak of hostil
ities. Pine e Alexander was in the thii k
of the battle from the beginning to tin
end. The Servians noticed that he first
rode a white horse and afterward a
brown horse. It is believed the white
horse was shot from under him.
L-.'NP'-N. Nov. 19. British Consul
l.ascelles. who is at Belgrade, and who
keeps Lord Salisbury informed of every
thing in connection with the war. makes
no mention of the reported capture of
Widdin by the Servians. It is. there
