Guiteau's Crime and It's Punish
ment.

Should President Garfield recover-and
there is good probability that he will-the
man who tried to murder him will escape
with seanty punishment. He can only be
convicted OF an assault with intent to kill,
the maximum penalty for which is an i'm
prisonment of eight years. 1t seems that
one so dangerous as Guiteau, and capable of
so much mischief, ought to be kept under
surveillance all his life. This, however, can
not be done unless he is adjudged insane,
and of evidence of insanity there is little.
The law must take its course. We cannot
Justifiably change it to meet this particular
case. But we can provide for contingencies,
and if, unhappily, similar attempt be
made upon the life of the executive, some
adequate punishment of the offender
tits suggested by many that an attack up
on the person of the executive should be
made an act of treason, and the assailant
put to death. That, however, is not in ac-
cordance with our system of government.
The constitution specifically defines treason
as consisting only in levying war against
the United States, or in adhering to its en-
emies, giving them aid and comfort. Moth
ing peculiarly sacred attaches to the person
OF the President, and the murder of him is,
in law, no greater crime than the murder of
any other citizen. But the question is,
have we not need of amendment? The
death of a President by violence may infict
vastly greater harm upon the Republic than
the death of any other of its eminent citi-
zens, There are contingencies in which it
might be the cause of a disputed succession.
OF civil war, and of almost unimaginab,e
misery. Happily no such terrible conse-
quences can follow fatal termination of
the assault upon President Garfield. But
they remain possibilities, and in seriously
considering them we are led to the conclu-
sion that attacks like those by Guiteau
should be guarded against, so far as certain
punishment will guard, by the imposition of
heavy penalties. The time may come when
murderous attack upon the President will
mean blow at the life of the nation.
The Portland daily press., 1881-07-08
The Presidents Condition.

The intelligence from Washington con
tinues to grow more hopeful. The Presi-
dent is gaining strength, and no unfavor-
able symptoms have manifested themselves.
He is still in great danger and exposed to
many perils. If he recovers, his con-
valescence will be tedious, and for many
days to come the continuance of his life can
not be confidently predicted. But the i'm
provement in his condition is so manifest as
to afford reason for the liveliest hope. He
now in better state than at any other
time since the shot was fired,
