aurTEAu's PUNISHMENT.

Should President Garfield recover. as il Is sin.
cereiy hoped he will Guitcau's airocious crime can
only be dealt with an assault and battery with
intent TO kill. Under our contribution Il Is not
treason to attempt the life Of the President or
other high Governmental officials. unIe.. Il l. done
In aid Of some warning people upon the country.
The only law applicable Is section 1850 Of the
United States revised statutes relating to the Dis
trict Of Columbia, which says:
EVERY person convicted Of mansiaughter, or Of
any assault with intent 10 kill. shall be sentenced
TO suffer imprisonment and labor, for the fret &c.
fence Tor period not less than two nor more than
eight years. and for the second offence for period
OF not less than six nor more than fifteen ycars.
II will hardly DO satisfactory TO the people at
large Co have the assassin escape with short i'm
prisonment, or even y long term. though no will
be placed beyond power Of repeating the attempt.
But there seems at present no remedy. Provision
for heavier penalty would have been made before
this could IL have been forcseen that In n country
rs free and enlightened rs ours the dreadful crime
would ever be pcrpc,ra,ed. Now that Il has
occurred an early opportunity should be provided
TO make assaults upon our Presidents, whether
they result fatally not, crimes be treated with
capital punishment. Guitcau's act was that Of
mailman, but his insanity Is not Of that character
which should afford him immunity for his crime
The New York Tribune on this subject says:
''Insanity IL forcshadowci as the defence. No
one can say negatively that Guiteau is not luna.
tic. But no one can pronounce him 10 be one ia
. sense 20 exempt him from punishment on the
general accounts Of his conduct and anguagc
which have been made public. A mans words
and acts cannot BY themselves prove insanity In
the legal sense. though they may lead one TO
suspect H. and may corroborate belief In IL. hut
however foolish of unaccountable they may be-
there 10 always the further question Are they the
product Of y disordercd brainl Motiveirss folly,
vagaries Of thought aud act morbid brcoding over
fancied wrongs, OF nursing n thirst for revenge,
are not insanity. In the sense Of the criminal Law
the word involves disorder Of the brain. II 10 not
uncommon To say that there must be disease of the
brain. Disease may be too narrow u word; but
there must DO clear indications of impairment III
the brain considered Ms n physical organ. The
subject must not merely have behaved foolishiy (;
he must have done so because he had not an organ
nation enabling him 10 know the nature aud
wrongfulncss OF his ACT. Counsel for the defence
are always ingenious In marshaliiny indications
that their client suffered from brain disease, aud
when these are shown the folly and absurdiy Of
bis conduct aud language are important in add
ton. IL will be time enough to enter upon any
question Of Gaiteau's insanity when facts are ms.
serted indicating that he geally inca.
pable Of right thinking; that he lacked faculty Of
brain to understand his conduct"
