THE MIDDLE At ALBANK.

One week of the session has been wasted at
Albany. In other words, the people Of the State
have paid their legislators for weeks service
and got nothing in return. The responsibility
for this wrong to the taxpayers lies with the
Democratic party, whose representatives have
fallen out about the Offices and patronage of
the body, and while engaged in factiOnal fight
over the spois are preventing the transaction
of business. The Assembly is still without an
organization, and there are no signs Of the
deadlock being broken.
The duty Of the Republican members in this
juncture is plain They are III Il minority III
both houses, and are not in the least to blame
for the obstruction of the public business,
They have nominated candidates of their own
for the Offices to be filed, and should steadily
support them for the present and refuse all
propositions to negotiate with either faction OF
their opponents. Ii they have any preference
for one side over the other, il would naturally
be for the under dog in the fight, but they
are not the allies of Mr. Kcliy's ,ollOWcrs, and
are in no way bound to give them assistance.
Still less are they under obligations to the
Tildcn faction We trust there is no truth in
the rumor that a handful OF Republican meme
hers are talking of aiding this faction to elect
its candidates. Such action would be little
short OF political treason. The Republicans
can have nothing in common with the element
which controls the Democratic party in this
State, and shapes its conventions and cam
paieus. 1t would bc worse than folly for any
Republican to join hands with it and help give
it victory over the men from this city who
have done 50 much toward breaking down
Democratic asccudcncy in tie state The time
may come when the Republicans viii be called
upon by their sense of duty to the people to
take some steps to set the law-mal,ing ma
chincry in motion, but they are certainly under
no obligation to help either Of the warning fac
tons in their enemies camp

~ PIN ElAON

The expert testimony in the Guitcau trial has
contributed some downright definitions IN
medical jurisprudence which ought to be perma-
nent and enduring. In his testimony ON Tues
day. Dr. Gray translated into tcrSc and vgor-
GUS Saxon two or three Of the Greek compounds
with which scoundrelism has attempted to take
the curse OF sundry vulgar and commonplace
crimes. The fashion has grown up within the
mast ten or a dozen years of Distinguishing
between the crimes Of men who could afford to
employ counsel and those who could not, by
attributing the former to insanity and the
latter TO squire Cusscdncss." The resources OF
philology have been taxed to furnish respect
able names for diSrcputablc crimes, and great
deal of valuable time OF professional men,
courts and iuIcs has been consumed IN the IN
vestIgatlon of new forms of moral insanity ~
and splitting hairs over shadowy dlstlnc-
tons. Under this new order of things, the
law. breaker who can employ counsel Is the
object of sympathy and pity rather than cen
sure and punishment; it Is a case OF disease,
not depravity poor patient for an asylum, not
an evi-minded fClOn for cell Every such
criminal has some sort of mania and for each
form of mania there must be distinguishing
name TO take it out of the catalogue OF common
crimes. The thief is "kicptomaniac," the
drunkard a "dpsomaniac," the incendlary n
"pyromaniac,' and the theory is that they
steal, get drunk or set fire to houses because
" they can't help it"-they are irresponsible.
DR.. Gray's testimony took some Of the Greek
porticos of these common offences and left
them with their native deformity clearly de-
fined in plain and comprehensive Anglo
Saxon. "What is kloptomania y asked SEQ
VILE "A word used to express thicyin5," an
swcred the Doctor. What do You mean by
dipsomania 2" 81 call it Drunkenness"
what do you mean 10y pyTomania p 81 call
it incendaIism. | call it crime These are
very plain, simple and straightforward detn-
lions. They clear away vast amount OF fog
by calling things by their right names DR..
Gray does not believe in any Of the sO-calied
"moral insanities" or in the dclenccs so often
set up by lawyers in behalf of their criminal
clients that the latter are uibalancci,' Z" ire
sponsible,n victims Of dcluSion," cant help
it, And he does not look with any degree Of
favor upon the theory that the commission OF
a great or singular crime is in itself an indica
ton Of insanity. The public mind has under
gone a wholesome Qualification on the subject
of insanity since the bloody minded creature
now on trial began his effort to palm oil his
cowardly crime as the result Of inspiration
aud "prcssure from the Deity" 1t Is a good
thing to have squeezed the Greek out of the
manias and hung them up, limp, shrivelled and
shameful, rs theft, drunkenness and arson. The
Saxon definitions are su.liclcnt; dismiss the
Grcel, and let them stand.

THE FITz JOHN PORTER C1SE.

General Grants letter to President Arthur
recommending Ftz John PorteI;s restoration
to the Army will be a genuine surprise to the
public. Both rs General of the Army and a.
President Grant took very positive ground
against Porter's demand. Although once per-
sonally friendly to him as an old Army officer,
he was firm in the conviction that Porter had
failed in his duty to go to the support of Pope
in the second Bull Run battle, and had thus
committed a grave military crime. Now he
takes back all that he has said and all that he
has thought on the subject in a frank and ear
nest letter which is strlingly manly and gen
crous in tone, and seems to be animated by Il
sincere desire to remedy wrong. The reason
assigned by General Grant for this cxtraordi-
nary change Of opinion is that he has lately for
the first time studied the case in question, with
correct engineers maps Of the battlefield and
adjacent country, which he thinks justify
POrtcr's claim that he behaved like sklltul
general and n good patriot.
Setting aside as without any present eyi-
dencc sufficient to warrant moments crcdcnce
the scandalous story of an alliance between
General Grant and the Democrats to restore
Porter and put Grant on the retired list, we
must regard Inc lclJcT rs ny lo HCdH9 'oIi-
elusive il military sense. 1t may do more
credit to General Grants heart than to his
head. He has never had the reputation Of alb
solute impartiality and cold-bloodcd Judgment
rs to officers Of the Army. He favored the re-
moval of George II. Thomas just before the bat
tie Of Nashyille-a grave error Of judgment rs
everyone now knows. His judgments Of other
prominent military men have not always been
those which n calm review Of the facts has
fully warranted. 1t would be running rashly to
a conclusion to say that General Grants letter,
even with the important support OF that from
General Terry, gives conclusive ground for re-
ycrsing previous decisions of the questions in
yolycd in Fitz John Portcr's dismissal. 1t does,
however, furnish good reason for a fresh re-
view of the case by some competent and
thoroughly impartial official
