THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL TUESDAY, JANUARY 13; 1874.

COURT RECORD. SUPREME COURT. THE HON. A.C. DOWNEY, CHIEF JUSTICE. The following decisions have been rendered. The State of Indiana vs. Jackson Young. From the Shelby circuit court. Worden. J. This was a prosecution against the appeltee, originating before a justice of the peace, for being found in a state of intoxication, in violation of the ninth section of the act to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors, etc., approved February 27, 1873, (Acts 1873, p. 151.) On appeal of the cause to the circuit court, the affadavit was quashed and the state excepted. The question presented relates alone to the validity of the statute above mentioned. It provides that "it shall be unlawful for any person to get intoxicated. A person found in a state of intoxication shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined in the sum of $5," etc. The title of the act is as follows: "An act to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors, to provide against evils resulting from any sale thereof, to furnish remedies for damages suffered by any person in consequence of such sale, prescribing penalties, to repeal all laws contravening the provisions of this act, aud declaring an emergency." Section 19 of article 4 of the constitution is as follows: "Every act shall embrace but one subject, and matters properly connected therewith, which subject shall be expressed in the title. But if any subject shall be embraced in an act, which shall not be expressed in the title, such act shall be void only as to so much thereof as shall not be expressed in the title." The question arises whether the matter embraced in the section of the statute quoted is expressed in the title of the act, or is properly connected with the subject expressed. This leads to the inquiry, what is the subject expressed in the title? It is quite clear that the subject is the sale of intoxicating liquors. If the act bore a more general title, indicating that the subject was intoxicating liquors in the abstract, such as "An act concerning intoxicating liquors," no reason is perceived why legislation inhibiting the excessive use of them, might not be within the title. If it could be deduced from what is set forth in the title that the subject of the act was intoxicating liquors, the case would be much like those of Bright vs. McCullough, 27 Ind., 223 , and Shoemaker vs. Smith, 37 Ind., 122. THE SALE OF LIQUOR. But it is impossible to deduce from the title the general subject of intoxicating liquors. The entire title points to the sale of intoxicating liquors, and nothing else, as the subject of the act. It is clear, therefore, tha the intemperate use of such liquors is a mayter not expressed in the title. DEFINITION TO DRUNKENNESS. On the point now under consideration we

have no doubt. Under a title which indicates legislation only on the pubjectof the sale of intoxicating liquor, is found a provision in violation of their consumption, making it a penal ofl'ensc to be found in a state of intoxication. It will be observed that under the enactment, no sale of liquors, either in accordance with, or in contravention of, the other provisions of the act, constitutes any ingredient or condition of the offense. The manufacturer or other person, who is found intoxicated upon liquor which has never been made the subject of sale, is guilty of an infraction of the law equally with him who is found intoxicated upon liquor which has been made the subject of sale under the law. In short, under a title professedly on the subject of the sale of intoxicating liquors merely, the legislature have attempted, without reference to any sale, to make simple drunkenness a crime. Admitting that intoxication is so connected with the sale of intoxicating liquor, that under a title to provide against evils resulting from any sale of such liquor, drunkenness might be declared to be a crime, it does not follow that the section under consideration is properly connected with the subject expressed in the title of this act. The evil provided against by the section is intoxication generally, without regard to the manner of acquiring the liquor by which it is produced, whilst the title includes only such as result from sales. The title does not include or indicate any legislation not connected with the sale or disposition of intoxicating liquor. No enactment, therefore, under the title, declaring intoxication to be a crime, can be valid except upon the theory that it results from a sale of such liquor, which must appear in the enactment. It seems to us, therefore, that the matter of the section is not only not properly connected with the subject expressed in the title, but is entirely foreign to it. CASES IN POINT. The case that comes nearest to the support of the section under consideration is that of the state vs. Adamson; 14 lnd. 296, where it was held that under the title, "an act to regulate and license the sale of spirituous, etc., liquors," etc., a provision punishing the giving away, etc., was properly connected with the subject expressed in the title. There it was made an offense to sell, barter or give away any intoxicating liquor to a minor. Although the word "sale" only was mentioned in the title, it was held that giving away was properly connected with the subject expressed. The court say 'When we consider the object for which such a law wis passed, viz: to prevent abuses that might flow from the unrestrained disposal of liquors in these respects, it would seem that the giving away, under circumstances which might produce the same evil results as the selling, would be a matter properly regulated in connection with the selling. Indeed, it may be regarded as a necessary incident to a statute regulating the sale to secure its efficent operation. It is a necessary precautionary provision to prevent evasion of the prohibition to sell." It would seem from the observation of the court that the object of the law was "to prevent the abuses which might flow from the unrestrained disposal of liquors." that the word "sale" as used in the title, might have been regarded as used in a sense broad enough to cover a disposal liquor by way of barter or gift. But, however this may be, under the title to that act, it was legitimate to frame a law to punish selling to minors. The giving of liquor, to minor, it was' thought, had a proper con-1 jiection with the subject of helling. Roth tbe sale and the gift involve the idea of a disposal of the liquor. They both involve the idea of furnishing it to tho minor, aud vesting the title in binu In the one ca.e there i a consideration for the transfer. Iu the other none. But the substance "of -the thing, the evil to be avo'dod, is the nanio in lioth cases, viz: tbe furnishing of intoxicating liquors to minors. While that case goea, perhaps, to the vergo . of tenable ground, it falls -quite short of meeting the case under consideration. Here tl.e ollense defined and punished ly the -ninth faction of the act has no connection w hatever. aa before observed, with the sub jert VxpieJ in the tide, but U wholly Xr - iiemto it. The section i. therefor . ucconbtituLional and void. Thejadgtnent below Is affirmed. THE DISSENT. . OPPOSING! OPINIO BT THE MINORITY OF THK BENCH A PUBLIC A3 WELL AS CONsTlTfTI02CAL PROVISION. Diss en tin 5 from the ordnion of the majority, Messrs. 'liaskirk and Downey state that being unable to concur in the opinion,

the case being one which involves not, only a construction of tho constitution, but a question of great importance to the public," they deem it their duty to state at length the grounds and reasons of dissent. Id arguing the point whether the lib. section of the act is void because in conflict with the 19th section of article 4 of the state constitution, they say that only a part of the lth section is set out in the opinion of the majority of the court. They claim that a correct understanding of tbe objects sght and mischiefs to be avoided by the constitution in section 10, article 4, wi'l throw light upon the interpretation of the statute in question. By reference to many authorities tbey show that the mischiefs intended to be prevented by the constitution were tricks of legislation where, by linking two subjects under one title, members might be betrayed into voting for what tbey did not intend to support. The rule of construction is quoted which requires a consideration of all the lights which disclose the intention of tbe clause in tho minds of the framers. After defining the rules of construction, the dissenting judges say they approach the examination of the question with profouud deference to the views expressed by a majority of the court, and duly impressed with the importance of the subject. They admit that the nutter embraced in tho "ninth section of the act is Dot expressed in the title of the bill, but tbey claim that it is properlv connected with the subject expressed. The title of the bill specifies the sale of intoxicating liquors.and the question arises whether this would admit the provision to punish intoxication as an oilcuce. Is intoxication so connected with the sale of intoxicating liquors that this provision may be lawfully included nderthe title? Generally where there is intoxication there ha been a sale of liquors, but not always, for the liquor may have been obtained otherwise than by purchase. The purposo of the act is stated to be not only to regulate the the sale of intoxicating liquors, but also to provide against evils resulting from the sale thereof. It would seem that to punish intoxication is to provide to some extent against the evils arising from the sale. The subject of an act should be reasonably specific; a proper subject of legislation should be expressed in the title, and not all the details of the law. If the details of the act have a legal connection -with the provisions of the act. it satisfies the constitutional requirement. A review of the former decisions of the supreme court upon tbe construction of this law is then introduced, to show that the !!th section of the act is properly connected with the subject -expressed in the title. The acts incorporating the bank ot the state, the stato vs. Adamson, the liquor law of 1S59, and quite a list of other cases are cited iu support of the view taken iu the dissenting

opinion. Thequoieu preceuents are long anu numerous, and It wouia seem quite applicable to the case under consideration. 44 CUT OFF. THK STORM OF THE SEASON UOW THE WIRES ARE ISROKKX HAVOC THItOl'UUOl'T TUE COUNTUY. Indianapolis, in a season ol something like Indian summer, can hardly appreciate the situation all about her. For three days the course of travel east and west has been impeded by mountains of snov, and the telegraph wires broken down by wind and ice. The havoc of wind and snow has come almost to the outskirts of the town, and while we are enjoying the mild sunshine of November ,tho towns about us and lor many a mile east and west, are immersed in all the fury of winter. The Chicago Tribune, discussing the distresses of the seige of frost and snow, says: Th3 damage has resulted from an attack by that most effective enemy of the telegraph system a storm of rain and sleet, the wires being gradually encased in a coating of ice, which increases in thickness until the metal gives way on account of the great weight. Instances have been known where the incrustation of ice reached adiameter of over four inches. As the telegraph poles are about Bio feet apart, the strain becomesenormous, and the wires give way. Then the sudden shiiting ol the strain upon the pcles snaps them like pipe stems, though they are two feet thick at the base; and, the work of demolition once begun in this way, wires and poles come crashing down like a row of toy blocks. The wires are buried beneath snow and ice on the ground, and new ones must bo put up without waiting to recover the old wires. A large army ot repairers work night and day to remedy the mischief, for the vital needs of tbe telegraph are so pressing that no time must be lost in restoring the lines to working order. Tho terms of the ontractof the Western Union Telegraph company with tbe various railroad companies are "such that the latter contribute all needed assistance in the shape of extra gangs of men, arid special trains are at once dispatched with workmen aud material. The present disastrous state ot things occurred in a region rarely visited by protracted stoims ot sleet and rain in midwinter, and the extent of the damage is more widespread than ever before in those sections. As nearly as we could learn j-csterday from Colonel Wilson, superintendent of the Chicago district who Kindly placed at our disposal bis daily reports from all quarters, the sleet atorm has prevailed extensively throughout the states of New York, Pennsylvania, as far west as Toledo in Ohio, and a portion of Canada. On the three main lines between Chicago and New York, com munication was cut off respectivelj at Detroit on the Canada route, at Toledo on the Lake Shore, and at Bucyrus, Ohio, on the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne. No reports have been received from the offices east of these points since Wednesday morning, and telegraph business with the east had come almost to a stand still. Detroit was able to "get" Montreal, buV Montreal could not reach New York. St.- Louis managed to find one circuit by way ol Nashville, Chattanooga and Savannan to New York, but, as the line is scarcely equal to the requirements of or dinary occasions, it has been ot no service in this dilemma. The Western Union has upon its hands an enormous accumulation of com mercial and ordinary business, which it is working off as well as may be by means of tbe railways between points where the wires are down, but. In tne way ol press dis patches, nothing can be done until repairs are mad 3. Several thousand men are busy at work in the devastated districts, and it will net be long before the damages are re paired. , ' : Near Fen ton, Tennesaee, lives a literary disciple of St. Crispin, who has never seen the cars.

' A IIOOSIEIf IN .CALIFORNIA. THE LAND OF WONDERFUL FRUITS AND FLOWERSWHAT A FORMER INDIANAPOLITAN SAW IN "FARADISE." A letter from :Mr. Geo.: Merritt, a former well known citizen of Indianapolis, recently received by Mrs. Cien, the state librarian, contains some points of interest relating to California, -where (In the town of San Diego) he and his family are now living. Aa every one is anxious to learn about the wonders of the "finest climate under the sun,'! the following extracts may prove interesting.- He describes his first ride from San Diego into the surrounding country and ssys: I started out to take all the family to riri, but found the only "rig" to be had was an old "Wells-Fa rgo"' coach, for which wo must have four bourses and a driver. This was engaged and rolled up to our door with a great flourish at eight o'clock, and we bundled into it wrapped in shawls overcoats, etc., just as though it was cold, although we have as yet baa no frost here. We were soon seated and with a loud crack from the driver's whip, were oil' lor Paradise valley with our four . horses on a gallop, giving promise of our arrival on time. We were rapidly whirled out of town over the

mesa," through long rows of - barrens. only occasionally relieved by bunches of tho tree, cactus, and prickly pear, which grow here from four to ten feet high, and seem to require no 1 water. We were soon on the brow of the hill overlooking Paradise valley with its beautiful little farm? looking fresh and beautiful as if under a May sun and enjoying April suowers in place of "December's chill v blasts." From the brow of the hill could Vje seen coming up from some unknown depths toour sight, volumes of dense sulphurous looking smoke, which were painfully suggestive of touie other place than Paradise. Our driver could . give us no positive information about the origin of tho smoke, and we were left to our own surmisings while he drove don tbe steep grade and around the sharp curves with his horses on the run, and cracking his whip for our benefit, showiug a recklessness that we feared would throw us over a little too near those smoky depths. lie, however, brought us down safely and drew rein in front ot a littlo cottage nearly buried in green trees and vines, standing in the midst of what appeared to be a garden farm. Here we alighted, and leaving "our overcoats and wraps in the coach, ware met at the gate by the proprietor of this little "mansion" in F.vr.imsn Valley. After mutual introduction-, in which we found our host was a Mr. George C. Swan, formerly of Cleveland, Ohio, he led the way to the house through long rows of boautitul flowers too numerous to mention, but among which the different varieties of gerauiumswere blooming with such prolusion as we'never see at home, and the tuberose was also prominent. As we neared the house we passed under the beautiful evergreen pepper tree and among several varieties of the accacia tree, in lull bloom; one variety growing in long, slender twigs, thickly studded with flowers, eac h oae of which was guarded by a short thick thoru, vcrv sharp and strong. This is supposed to bo the kind of thorn Irom which the "crown of thorns" was made more than eighteen hundred years ago. Passing these we were shown an encalyptus forty feet high and twelve inches in diameter at the root, the seed of which wasr. planted January 1, 1S70. Then we were taken to the strawberry patch, and told to pick and tat. Tbe ripe berries were not very plentiful, but there were some fine ones; also plenty ol green ones and others iu bloom. Passing a peach tree we saw a line cucumber hanging on a limb, and although we were pretty ivell prepared for wonders, we had not expected to see peach treos bearing cucumbers in tho winter. Mr. Swan seeinsr us'standinir amazed rushed in and picked it, and handing it to Mrs. Merntt said: "take it nome or your Christmas dinner." Then we wero taken to the fig trees and ate ripe figs from a tree three years old that had borne about two thousaud figs this year: tuen to a grape vine three yearsold thatuearly covered the house. There was only one bunch of grapes left on tbe vine but it was aa large as my uat, ana each grape twice as large as any we had at home. We were inviteu to try tue quality of the grapes and then Mr. Swan brought us from the house some raisms maae iroimno earlier crap'son the same vino and some drifed figs ot his own curing which were ex cellent. Next we went to tne appie orcuaru and tried an apple which was very line; then to the melon patch, and picked and ate two nice waterrnelons about tue last oi mo sea son. v e were snown ijwrei poiaw wucs that bad born two crops, and wore still growing; the vines will grow and produci continually here, dui tney uo ueuer to no replanted every two or. three years. Imon, orange and limo trees were growing finely, but were two young Ao bear, except one lime tree which was quite full. They also had date nalm trees started, but these were small. Wo had, however, seen them full size, and tearing, at the old "Mission" near here, that were planted by the "San Franciscans" over a hundred years ago. Defore leaving here, Mr. Swan hailed a gentleman tnai was rmmg by and remarked that .

Having made the rounds of Paradise Valley, we turned our face toward home, all feeling that w should be satisfied It we could secure as cordial a welcome to' that paradise above as we had received to this namesake here below. We arrived safely at home, with our basket- filled with flower, which will srive our rocse a delightful fragrance for Christmas. It seems to be the nlost delightful climate in the world, and I can hardly see why we take cold so . easily as we do. There a but little variation in tbe tempera turo from the beginning to the ending of the year, but the f-alty sea breeses seem to have a chillinesa about them and a dampness that chills without being cold. Still I can't un derstand It, and f4iall have to reserve my opinion about the healthfulnoss of this climate until I have more light on tn subject. PROUD OF INDIANAPOLLS.

A New York Sun reporter, in a iaudable fit of enthusiasm to scoop" the other papers, undertook to interview Boss Tweed the other day. After detailing his experiences in the way of describing the morning, his personal reflections, state of health and di vers lerfjthy conversations with wardens, he sends a line to Tweed stating that New York don't believe he's there, and request, ing the favor of an interview. Keeper MaclKyiald was sent to tho hospital with the note. In ten minutes afterward the keeper returned to the warden's oflice shaking his head, and handed to the reporter the following in the well known handwriting of the Doss, aud bearing his bold signature: All suc.i l unioni as yon refer to are false.

It was evident, however, that his mental ancuish is creat, and that he feels his degradation terriuiy. hi uair is very snort and nis lace is smooth. He wore brown pantaloons, vest and short coat, but with the disguise which world be complete io many others, no one wh had ever seen him wouid have failed to recognize the man w ho had ouee carried New York in his pocket. He hurried up the staircase to the hospital. He had been visiting a sick convict in his cell and administering medicine to him. The ex-boss is verv useful. He carries a piut or so of pills in one pocket, aud a little memorandum book in the other. In the book he has tho instructions of the doctor. Thus "John Smith, two pills every two hours," is never forgotten, and Tweed's usefulness is apparent to all. Some think he works so incessantly to kill time, but ho seems to take a wonderful interest in every one in the hospital, and frequently in the tniddle of the night arises to attend to the wants of a poor, suffering wretch. ' AX INDIANA FARMER. HIS CURIOUS HISTORY A MODEL HOUSE AND FAUX THK RESULT OF ENEP.OV. Tho histary of Mr. J. B. McKinney, who is well known in this city, is a curious one. As an example of energy and enterprise it is ono of a few. Mr. McKinney is now known as the owner of one of the largest and most complete farms iu the state. When he was twenty-one years old he left Lome with just SI cents in his pocket and ; he bas never bad a dollar given him in his life. Today he owns a farm of l,(kH) acres in Randolph county. He is a large stock dealer and has now about 60) head of cattle on his farm. His house is a wonder in its way, standing i stories higu with a basement. It contains 40 rooms, doors and SO windows. To cover the floors 1,10)0 yards of carpet were . used. The cellar is finished with plaster of Paris, and contains hanging shelves that will accommodate 1,000 bushels of apples; water through the house is con veyed through pipes toree-fourth of anule from the source. The house is built of brick, slate roof, gothic style, with a tine observatory. The ouLside walls are puttied, making a smooth surface, which is painted. Inside tho rooms are furnished in the most elegant and tasteful manner. The walks surrounding tbe house and loading to the out houses are all tiled. The out-houses are as complete as the residence; carpenter shops; weighing house for stock; ice house stables, etc. The same perfection of arrangement extend ever the entire farm., No less than 250 gates being used in the various divisions. Altogether it. is one of tbe most complete farms and the residenca said to be the iiuest farm house in tho state of Indiana. . TIMPLES, EitUPTIONH, H3UUH S-K1N.
