II is singular fact, that insanity
IL now the universal plea set up in de-
Tense of murderers. 1t is no less
singular fact, that jurors as universally
accept that plea as sufficient to author
ize a verdict of not guilty. AT this
rate, all men should have their lives
insured, rs no one can know that lie is
secure, for an hour, against the muir
deroHs assault of some fit subject for
an insane Asylum. In view Of the
frequency Of murder, and the infre-
queney Of the punishment due to that
crime, we tbink the Legislature
ought to enact a law requiring every
criminal, acquitted on the plea of in
sanity, to be sent from jail to the
nearest Asylum and there confined,
closely, for term Of years cores
ponding to the enormity ofhis crime.
Having once, conveniently, gone
crazy the moment when passion or
malice prompted murder, there is no
security except death, against reoc-
curence Of the monomania, and pub
lie safety requires that no chance
should be given for n return of the
malady and the consequent crime.
We believe there is law, in Eng
land, similar to the one we propose,
and based, no doubt upon the idea
that it is as unjust to suffer murder
Gus maniac to be at large, as to allow
the same freedom to rabid dog. And
since it is so difficult to punish muir
derers through the agency of juries, in
sympathy with insanity, something
should be done by the Legislature, to
remedy so great an evil. If the MUIR
derer he poor devil, without influ-
ence, or friends, you can not find
twelve men who will, under oath,
declare him insane to save him from
the gallows. Rich and poor should
fare alike in courts of justice, and il
every poor criminal is in his right
mind, and every rich one, insane
something should be done, to ascer.
tain the cause of the mental or NOR.

who now seems most available; adding,
that he would hold the question open for
two or three days, giving me time to confer
as freely and frequently as i desired with
that gentleman.
/ found myself not little embarrassed
ON my way, one Sunday morning to the
residence Of Mr. McCulloch. The idea of
establishing relations with that gentleman,
" on compulsion,o seemed like seeking
knowledge under difficulties. These diff
culties, however, disappeared by degrees,
as our conversation proceeded. There were
two elements in the character of Mr. Me-
Culloch on which, per sc, was disposedto
rely. He had Scotch blood in his veins,
and had been in politics Wing.
u ais may be a proper occasion TO Say that,
during my whole political life, in all SINH
lar conversations in reference to important
political interests, never asked or inti-
mated desire to receive, directly or indi-
rectly, anything in the shape of a pledge or
a promise; nor have i ever, in reference to
such things, regarded man from whom
such pledges or promises were required orr
who was capable of giving them, worthy of
confidence or respect After Mr.. Lincoln's
first election President he invited me to
Springfield, where passed two days with
him in free consultation about the great
questions upon which he would be called
to act. Mr.. Lincoln was frank and unre-
frankness and freedom on my part. His
Cabinet, his inaugural, his policy, &C., &C.,
were fully discussed /; and when was about
to take my leave, Mr.. Lincoln inquired
playfully, If i hadn't forgotten something;
adding, after moments pause, you have
not asked for any offices.n 1 replied that
when the proper time arrived should pro-
baby, like hosts of other friends, ask for
such favors. But" said Mr.. Lincoln,
"you have the reputation of taking time
by the forelock. 1 was warned to be on
my guard against you; and the joke of the
matter is, that those who gave the warning
are after offices themselves, while you have
avoided the subject
But, going back to Mr.. McCulloch-my
interviews with that gentleman, if protract-
ed, We're made so by his intelligent, right
minded and straightforward expression Of
views and opinions. If, in going to Mr..
McCulloch, / had something of the feeling
| of "Toots " in calling on Capt. Cutie y
| for the " favor of his friendship left him
with strong feeling of regard and conf
dence, and so reported to Mr.. Lincoln, who
| Immediately sent his name to the Senate

people Have had any occasion to regret. On
| the contrary, Mr. McCulloch proved him
| self an enlightened. independent and up
right Secretary of the Treasury. To the
| friends whom / represented he was just and
| faithful. To myself, who was frequently
compelled to occupy his time and attention.
he was uniformly courteous and patient
always granting what was proper and in
his power to grant-and never refusing

THE PIzaAH MASSACRE,

! In justice to Gen. Sheridan, we publish
the following telegram from Col Baker
explaining the capture and destruction of
the Piegan village.
Much of the abuse heaped upon General
Sheridan for this unfortunate affair comes
from men who hate him for his distinguish
ed services in suppressing the rebellion.
They make this expedition the preteXt for
venting some of their old spleen upon him,
but the secret of their wrath cannot be
mir understood Tho official report is as
follows
" Fort ELLIS, MONTANA, March 25
" General p. II. Sheridan, commanding MIL
tary Dirision, Chicago:
g In answer to your telegram, received on the
22d instant report that after having made
every effort TO get the judgment of the officers
of the command, am satisfied the following
number approximates as nearly 20 the exact
truth as possible: The number killed at the
Piegan village was 173, of whom 100 were able
bodied men, and So women and children One
hundred and forty women and children were
afterwards captured and released. / believe
every effort was made by the officers and men
to save the non-combata1its, and that such wo-
men and children as were killed were accidental
ly killed W.
1.-THE report published in Eastern papers is
wholly and maliciously false. 1t seems incred-
ible that the false assertions of two persons,
neither of whom has made any effort to inform
himself in the matter, should outweigh the re,
ports Of those engaged in the fight, and who feel
that they have nothing to palliate or conceal in
their conduct All that the officers demand of

THE CULTIVATION OF TIMBER. When
you have nothing else to do plant a tree /;
it will grow when you are sleeping" This
advice we think may be extended to times
when people are not at leisure, and to the
United States Government as well as pri-
waite individuals. Why not make a bust"
ness of planting trees? We are well aware
that in many cases trees have been planted
and grown with success, by private indi-
viduals and on private estates, but the fact
remains that large areas of public domain
are to-day entirely without timber, and the
sources from which lumber can be derived
to supply the needs of this territory upon
its future settlement, are undergoing a
drain which will ultimatly exhaust them.
If there exists reasons why the agricultural
department of our Government could not,
If disposed, greatly increase the value of
the public lands by rendering nude por-
tons tree-bearing, they are not now obvious
to us. 4 s
Our continent possesses a variety of forest
trees of industrial value, exceeded by no
area of similar extent Certainly in all
this variety there may be found some adap-
ted to vigorous growth in almost any eli
mate, or any soil capable of sustaining veg
etation.-.Scieeifc Ameican.
