THIRTY DAYS IN THE SNow.-Ei

THIRTY DAYS IN THE SNow.-Eight
passenger trains arrived at Ogden on
Saturday, bringing SOME six hun
bred passengers bound for various
points on the Pacific coast, about
one hundred coming TO this city.
The majority Of them were about
thirty days in the snow, and though
the suffering does not appear to have
been extreme, they manifest a high
degree of pleasure at their escape
from q mode of life so monotonous
as to be varied only by an expert
ence in cold toes and fingers and a
change in the bill of fare always sug-
gested by economy. 1t was only
among the second-class passengers,
however. that a serious want of food
was realized, they being reduced for
a considerable time TO cheese and
crackers. Quite a number of those
who undertook to walk were frost
bitten. Considerable sickness pre-
vailed; but as there were several
physicians on board, the sick were
properly care for, only II death
occurring, and that vas a child of
six years. Two births were among
the unexpected occurrences Of the
thirty days in the snow; the mothers
and children, however, did we'll.

vote to win. If there be any who
deny this proposition, they have no
business in politics they are better
adapted for wet nurses for very in
fantile infants.
We are glad therefore to see that
the Democratic Central Committee
of this State has shown that spirit.
They recognized tine fact (lamentable
but no less actual) that the mere
election of a Democratic President,
if it were possible, would be unavall-
ing for any practical purpose. The
Executive must be supported 10y a
Congress in accord with his ideas.
4 Senate must confirm his appoint
ments-a House provide revenue.
How they do this We have see IL.
Illustrated in the case of Andrew John
son. We have seen enough of len
ure-of office bills, and of a Congress
that even reconstructs the Supreme
Court to make it conform to its po-
~litical ideas. The true policy of the
Democracy is to strike for tine Presl-
dencv, Congress, and the Supreme
Court, at one blow. We want none
or all. The way to reach them is by
a consolidation of all opposition to
Grant, as opposition was concentrate
ed in 1910 against a party which
had then uninterruptedly ruled the
country for twelve years, sweeping
it away like chatf before a hurricane.
But, as the opposition then con-
centrated around the Wing party, it
must now rally around the Dem
ocratic. If the disaffected Repub-
licans are satisfied by naming some
mar whom the Democracy have con
fdence in. and in return will give
the Democracy their support through
out the Union, let them name the
man; and. if the National Democratic
Convention chooseto nominate, or en-
dorse that individual for that one
office. it may be good policy to con-
centrate in this way. As a party,
the Democracy do not purpose to
disband, but IT, organize: not to
adopt a passire policy, but an aggres-
sire one. 1t will fight side by side
with allies for a common purpose,
but will merge itself IN none. The
Missouri policy" is not a passive
policy.
Such we believe are the sentiments
of most of the Committee. OF course
the resolutions are but an expression
of opinion, in the way of a recon-
mendation to the National COnven-
ton and National Committee.
Whether then adopted or not, the
Democracy of Nevada will be found
in the approaching fight with the old
Democratic banner floating over
them, to win or lose, as tickle for
tune frowns or favOrS.

Moral INSANITY.

Among the beneficient reforms Of the
present age which gladden. the heart,
has reference to the insane. 1t has been
proved possible to minister to mind
diseased kindness can control
the widest maniac, when cruelty would
only make frenzy more frenzied-and
nothing so demonstrates the omnipotence
of all subduing love as the present disci-
pline of our lunatic asylums In con-
nection with this subject of insanity
there is one phrase of it that is attract
ing marked attention and is deeply to be
deplored. 1t is the use or rather abuse
made of it as an excuse for crime. That
man whose mind is so deranged or so
enfeebled as not to be conscious of doing
wrong should not be held accountable,
is as much the dictate ofIjustice as of
humanity. But in recent times there
has grown up theory of mOraI6eS0n5ty,
according to which, without any obscur-
alton of the intellect, the moral senti-
ments may become so perverted that
person so affected cannot avoid commit
ting crime, knowing that it is crime,
because of the existence of this irresist-
lille impulse such offender is to stand
excused. We do not deny nor are we
prepared to admit the existence of
moral insanity as a physiological fact.
But the introduction of such theory
into criminal jurisprudence is one of the
most dangerous innovations of our day.
II is, in our judgment, no more or less
than making depravity an excuse for
crime /; and the greater the enormity of
the act the greater becomes the pre-
sumption of inculpability. Let a man
act like a devil incarnate and he shall go
forth free of punishment, because no
sane man would so act. In other words
every wicked person is to be regarded as
insanc-an object of pity, not of pun
ishmcnt. Poor demented Nero, for eX-
ample, could not help fiddling while
Rome was burning; Lucretia Borgia,
is entitled TO our tenderest sympathy
because she was impelled 20 her mon
strous crimes by an irresistible impulse.
Away with such theories as were adj
vanced in the Stokes case, or soon all
murderers will be regarded as innocent
victims of the excitement of the moment
and must go UNPUBLISHED. If the modern
legal views of moral insanity shall be
carried to their Legitimate results, So
cicty will be unsafe and murderers will
stalk our streets at noon day.

SENATOR SUMMERS REAyIs LETTER. -
Sumner has given an explanation of the
Reavis letter, which we published yes
terday, which shows that the date was
brought forward year by Greeley men,
in addition to suppressing the last two
sentences, to suit their purposes. Mr.
Sumner says his letter was written when
Mr. Greeley was in Texas, in reply to a
letter from Reavis, telling him that a
number of citizens of Missouri were
considering the policy of nominating
Mr. Greeley by the Republican party,
and requesting him (Sumne) to declare
for him.

WHAT THEx ARE AFTER.-The CON-
rier says Rutland will cast larger vote
for Greeley and Brown than any other
town or city in the State. What of it :?
The Democrats always had a larger vote
in Rutland than elsewhere. 1t also
states that "Fifteen new Justices Of the
Peace are to be elected, and it is high
time we had a change in some of these
officers" Here then is the milk in the
cocoanut. Somebody wants to be Justice
of the Peace or hold some other petty
town office. Hence the Democracy are
being grated with the Liberal scion-or
the grating may be the other way-it
doesn't make any very great difference
which. But if the figures of the editor
of the Courier are to be relied on, there
is not much hopes for even Greeley jus
tees, unless the Republicans elect them.
His speech at the Town Hall, Tuesday
night, gave Gen. Grant and the Repub-
lican party from three to four hundred
majority in Rutland, this fall. Taking
the smaller number it will be nearly one
hundred majority, larger than the
majority for Governor, at the
last election. These are the fignres of
the editor of the Courier not ours.
