If the democrats have any better man to nominate for governor in 1864 then Mr. New, he aheuld he brought to the front very soon. ^ About all the evidence in the assassin's trial has been given, and the argument will probably begin on Saturday, te which time the court has been adjourned. There is but one impression at Washington as to the result, that k a speedy verdict of guilty. The defence believe it will be so, and are preparing to raise the question of jurisdiction to delay the exaction of the penalty. With the meeting of congreec to-day work should begin.

Daring hie short term of office he has commended himself to the people la a very practical way, having reduced the expenses of the department over * million and a half a yea*, by catting of useless star rentes. It is greatly to be regretted t a he coaid not remain to complete the good work so anspioiooely begun, the more ao as nothing in the way of improvement can be expected from his snoceaoor.

Fits John Porter, has erased much Mepriao at Washington, and, as nanal, there are note few who look about to discover wane mercenary motive for it. They prof sea te tod it in the sonnise that it ia to enlist the aid of Porter's frAfods in placing him (Grant) on the retired list; la other words, that it k n shameful bargain. Wo do not believe anything of the eort, and it certainly k very sod that a man can net do n just rad honorable act each as this without being aspersed ia this manner. Particularly k this ao in view of the facts. What may have induced Gen. Grant to examine the evidence brought before the oommktion appointed by President Hayes, we do not know, bat we feel assured that no man can fairly examine this evidence without reaching the same conclusion Gen. Grant has. In expressing hk opinion and ia determining to do what he can to right the wrong he consented to for so long, Gen. Grant has risen high— seme might say above himself. Ha has done n noble act, and to have it smirched and degraded to the level ef a miserable political bargain, is a thing that common decency should fiercely resent We do not believe he ever thonght of himself any more than Gen. Terry did, or the hundreds of men who thonght for years that Fits John Porter ahoold have been shot as a traitor, and who, when hk case was examined in all ita light* and shadows, were struck aghast at the cruel wrong that had been done an innocent man, and felt ail ♦be more bound to vindicate him because they had been ignorantly condemning him. A summary of the conditibu of Ireland at the beginning of 1882, presents the most remarkable contrariety ever witnessed in any land under the sun. Six thousand landlords met in Dublin on Tuesday and de0 dared the administration of the land act cruelly oppressive to the owners of land, and asserted that if the decisions of the sub-commissioners in redusing rents were affirmed on appeal, parliament shonld make compensation for the loss in depreciation of the value of land. From which the inference is pretty straight and safe that the operation of the land act doesn't please landlords. That is one side of the case, It is reported apparently by authority, that already onefourth of all the renters in the island have their cases in the hands of the commission. Which is certainly a pretty effective operation for a few months. In two years, it is claimed, every renter will have had his case examined and settled under the act. From which the inference Is straight and inevitable that the renters of real estate are, to a very large extent, well pleased with the operation of the land act. This is another side of the case. And again it is reported that the sduth and the west of the island are honey-combed with secret anti-rent societies which completely defy and nullify the law, in their implacable detestation jf the land act. The “no renters” of Connaught and Munster are very little different from the nihilisk. They operate secretly, murder by stealth, and destroy property by sneaking artifices as mean and cowardly as the tricks of a confidence thief. And by such means they have se terrorized the two most ignorant, helpless and panper-enrsed provinces that laws and courts are powerless. This k the work of Parnell and his American coadjutors. And here U the third side of the strangest contrariety of conditions we ever heard .of: The landlords denounce the land act, the great body ef renters are profiting by its operation, while secret societies so hate it, that they kill and plunder ik friends to nullify it. A gloomy philosopher on the New York World thinks the general state of things worse than it has ever been before. It ongbt to be if conflicting interests, enmities and organizations representing three antagonktic lines of action can produce a bad state of things in a land that never knew a good one. cvnnxtrr comiumt.

After t coarse ef ef yonthfal study in the Wesleyan school at Woodhenae Grove, he was placed under the tuition of private instructors, giving much attention to chemistry and natural philosophy. The higher mathematics also received due attention. Saboequently he panabd hk chemiesl studies at the university ef London. In 1833 he joined hk relatives in thk country who had come hither prior to the revolution, rad taking up hk chemical rad medical atndies at the university of Penn, he was graduated from that institution, taking the degree of M. D., in 1836, hk thesis being of such ability as to result in its publication, by selection of the medical faculty. Shortly after graduation he was appointed profes-
chemical and physiological investigations, tbs result* of his researches appearing in the American Journal of Medical Sciences. In 1839 he was called to the chair of chemistry and natural hktory in the academic department of the university «f the eity of New York, where in addition to these branches he delivered lectures to the advanced undergraduates on physiology. In 1841 he was appointed professor of chemistry in the University medical college end in 1860 physiology was added to thk chair. While hk researches have been mostly experimental, he has been a voluminous writer and of high reputation. He was a large contribntor to scientific journals both domestic and foreign. In 1862 he published a history of the “Intellectnal Development of Europe,” which has been translated into French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, etc. In 1867-70 appeared in three volumes his history of the American civil war. This work has also been largely translated. To him is due the discovery of many fundamental facts of
spectrum analysis. Among the latest of his writings are “Experimental Examination of the Dktrlbution of Heat and of
Chemical Force in the Spectrum.” Dr. Draper has been siok for the pest six months from rheumatism end affection of the kidneys, end at death occupied the position of senior professor of the faculty of the university of the city of New York.

Have.
[WasblnRtoD upcdal New York Tribune.] Representative Buckner, of Missouri, has served in congress since 1873. He was chairman of the committee on hanking and currency in the forty-fifth and forty-sixth congresses, and is a member of the sime committee in the present congress. In the course of a conversation with him recently a correspondent asked: “What do you think of Secretary Folder’s recommendation to discontinue the imue of silver certificates?” “I see no particular harm that the certificates can do, although I never thought the i»sue of ooin certificates was a good oue. I must prefer the English plan of bullion certificates, redeemable in csin, but our silver certificates cell for silver dollars only, and while they are in circulation dollars are not; so I repeat, I see no possible barm that they can do.” “Are yon in favor of maintaing the present rate of silver coinage?” “Yes; for the present, st least, although the time may come when it will hsve to be redneed, andjperhsps coinage dissontinued altogether. The tendency of the price of silver is unquestionably steadily downward. Within five years the silver product of thk country will greatly increase, and according to the latest trustworthy accounts the expected demand for American silver n India will not be realized. Unless other great commercial nations shall agree to use silver, we may be compelled to abandon it, bat if Providence continues to smile upon ns, and we have good crops of corn, cotton and wheat next year, so that our exports will exceed qur imports, I believe that England and France will come to, terms, and will be willing to adopts doable standard on the same ratio that we also can agree to.” “How would you supply the deficiency in currency which wonld be created by the withdrawal of national bank circulation?” “I think the circulation k too plethoric now. The national banks have inflated currency to the extent of $40,000,000 during the past three years, by increasing their circulation by that amount. Such a power as that ought not to be entrusted to any corporation or class of corpoiations. Of course, however, national bank notes would be gradually 'withdrawn, and their places would be filled with silver.” “How?” “W# ought to have no paper circulation, whether of treasun notes, bank notes or coin certificates, of a lower denomination than ten dollars. Silver would then be used as a currency in all small transactions' and we shonld hear no more of this talk that people do not want it. I like Postmaster General James’s idea of kening postalmoney orders in small amounts, be'eanse it would obvkte a difficulty in the way of limiting the issue of treasury and bank notes to those of ten dollars and upward.” “What do yon think of a suggestion sometimes made that standard silver dollars be recoined into pieces containing one hundred cents’ worth of silver?” “I am entirely opposed to it. The value of silver constantly fluctuates, and if we were to adopt and carry out that suggestion it would probably defeat the prospect of an international agreement respecting the use of silver as money. -I do not take any stock in thk idea that oar silver k an inferior coin to our gold dollar—I mean as currency for our domestic use. Of course it will not serve our purpose in transactions with England and other countries which adhere to the gold standard, and with which, ef course, all balances are required to be settled in gold. If the balance of trade should torn against us, of course our gold would be drawn from ns, but let us have one mere good crop, and 1 believe

In the Gniteen trial yesterday afternoon Judge Cox ruled that further evidence of insanity could not be effered in sunabnttsL J. J. Brooks, ehtef of the treasury secret * service, testified that Gnitean, on the night j of the assassination, told him he had prayed j over the matter for six weeks, and was eon- l vinced that it was hk duty to kill the president. Mr. Devidge said the proeeentiea had ah ! ready prepared their statement of law point* upon which they would rely, and ne would bo pleased to give the defense the benefit of them. He then rend as follows: First—The legal test of responsibility, where , insanity is set np as a defense for alleged crime, i is whether the accused, at the time of commit- I ting the act alleged, knew the [diflfereuce between right and wrong in respect to such act: i hence. In the ereoeat ease. U the accused, at the t time of committing the set charged, knew

any exeuse, nor would such excuse be afforded by the tact that in the commission of the act he eras impelled by a depraved moral sense, whether lunate or acquired, or by evil passion, or ludifierenoa to moral obligation. Third—Inmnity would, however, constitute a defense If, by reason of disease, the accused, at thetlma of committing the act charged, did not know what he was doing, or, If he did not know that what he was doing was contrary to law. Fourth—The only evidence In the present case tending to show an irrealstable impulse to commit tba homicide is the claim of the accused that his free agency was destroyed by his alleged conviction that the death of the president was

No mere delusion, or error of judgment, not even a fixed belief that what is prohibited by law is commanded or approved by dirine authority can exempt the accused from responsibility in breaking the law. To have such effect, the coinmiskion of the act charged must bare been the result of an Insane delusion which was the product of disease, and of idch lores as to deprive the accused of the degree of reason necemary to distinguish between right and wrong la respect to the act, so that at the time of committing the act he did not know what he was doing, or, if he did, that the act was wrong or contrary lo the law of the land.
