SATURDAY.......-..DEC. II, 1870
WE have been i,,forn,ed hat Tier

WE have been Informed that there
~ a bill before our Legislature pr0pos-
ing the confinement, In The Luiatic
Asylum, Of such persons as may be
acquitted of crime, on the plea Of in
sanity. We have not seen the bill,
hut II we are correctly informed, there
Is provision in it that viii make 1t
nugatory, from the beginning. That
provision contemplates an examin-
ing board Of physicians, to determine
whether the individual is aft subject
for the Asylum. Through this open
ing all srch criminals will escape.
The man who fcigns insanity as n
means ofescape from the punishment
due to his crime, will, after his ac-
quIttaI by u jury, throw off the mask
for the reason that he put 1t onto
escape confinement in the Asylum;
and the more competent the exami-
ners, the more certain his escape.
The verdict Of the jury should he as
final and conclusive, as to his insani-
ty, ms it is to his innocence Of the
crime, unuer that plea. As well may
the Legislature provide n Board Of
Examiners, at the Penitent airy to
try the guilt or innocence of every
convict sent there by the juries Of the
State. ...-,....
This question deserves the gravest
consideration by the Legislature, in
view of the fact that the criminal
laws of the st te are being admins
tered with II degree of laxity very-
prejudicial to the security of life and
property. 1t is almost impossible to
convict a man who has money, no
matter llow great his crime, or clear
his guilt. Money canibuy testimony,
and, i'm many instances salve the
consciences of jurors, and men who
have once committed perjury, for n
price, will not seruple, ever after
wards, to disregard an oath, when
prejudice or Partially invites its vio-
la,ion. Every perjured juror or wit
ness, who goes unpublished, carries
contagion into society. because he is
II living illustration that crime may
he committed with impunity, and
because, in defense of his conduct, he
must advance ideas and arguments,
more or less detrimental to the NOR
ais Of his associates. The conduct of
one such man, though seemingly in
nocuous to publcmorality, repre- icnts
the pebble dropped into the pool
wave creates wave, in constantly en-
larging circles, until the entire mass
feels the shock produced by the appa-
rcntly inadequate cause.

Two months ago, when the wal was
first talked Of In France, the prevail
ing belief there was that the Prussians
would never have courage enough to
face a French army, or If they did, it
it would be only to give Frenchmen
an opportunity Of showing how soon
they could dispose Of their German
would-be rivals. Subsequent events
have modified this belief, but some
amusing illustrations of it have been
recorded by army correspondents, OF
which the following Is not the least So
from the pen of Mr.. Edward Lockroy,
who gives an account of his adventures
near the French lines. He was on the
point of starting from Metz for the
frontier, when, at the gate OF the city,
his horse dropped a shoe. Thereupon
he visited the nearest blacksmith, and
while the horse was being shod the
man recounted his own experience Of
var Mr.. Lockroy continues thus:
cat this moment everybody at Metz
has killed his Prussian. You cannot
find a single individual who will not
say to you, sAh! I killed enough Of
them, T can tell you-when l was
Young One might almost imagine 1t
was a local ~game-like archery. The
blacksmith's story was to the effect
that on a certain occasion he was In a
drinking saloon at Saarlouis with some
Prussians. One of these stepped up
to him and dropped an old quid In his
beer. whereupon the blacksmith
arose, unhookeda sabre from the wall,
and laid about him with a will. He
struck one, then another, and then a
third. He cuts one, cleaves one, kills
two at q blow, three-in short, dis
poses Of them all. Having finished
the business, the, tremendous French
man hangs the sabre against the WALL
and goes on his way. But 1t so hap
pened that these Prussians were SOL
oilers, and their Colonel finding that
nom Of them returned, asked his Lieu
tenant who killed my Prussians for
mep' The Lieutenant replied, "A
Frenchman, Of Lorraine The Colonel
complained, as well he might, to the
French authorities. An inquiry was
instituted, and the blacksmith stood
forward and said to his judges, 'Gen-
tlemen, If a person were to put an old
plug into your soup at dinner, what
would you do?' The Prussian Colonel,
who was a manly fellow, cried, Il
would kill him. 'Well,' the black
smith answered, "a Prussian put an
old plug into my beer, so I killed
all the Prussians who were there
And the judges, after due elaboration,
told the blacksmith that he might 60
home. The said blacksmith must surely
be a poor and humble relation Of the
Marshal of France, whose moustache
would 20 twice round the body Of NJ.

alluded to Is Marshal LeBauf, whose
prodigious moustache and pomposity
are fayorite subjects with the Paris
caricatnrists.
