Guitoau's Execution.

Yesterday the assassin Charlie. J. Gu,ieau
was to have paid the penalty of his crime by
hanging bv the neck until he was dead, and
we guess he swung, as his prospect for doing
so was very promising the last we heard from
him: and we expect to zee to uays papers
crowded full of the details Of the execution
and we will all read them too-,h-y are sem
satonal. He has had his dearly bought noto-
riety, paid for i, and gone to join his ancestor
Cain and the rest Of the murderefs.
As to his insanity, to a certain extent, we
have not the slightest doubt, because the act
was not that Of a perfectly sane person, but
that he was sufficiently sane to be hCl respon'
sble for his crime we are equally as confident.
We do not believe that il should be necessary
for a man to have a well balanced and pow.
erful mind in order that he be held response.
Bile for his criminal acts. He had sense
enough to know the nature Of the crime he
committed, and he knew the legal penalty
the services Of an expert was not necessary to
discover that fact-and should therefore have
been held to strict accountability, JUS, as he
was.
He may have believed that he was inspired
to commit the crime--we do-such crimes
are always the result Of ipspira,ion-but such
men as Guiteau should be taught by little
such wholesou correction as was admins
tered to him to discriminate between Divine
and Satanic inspiration, and that they will lie
punished for acting upon the latter kind Of
inspiration, when i, directs them to commit,
terrible crimes.
Too many murderers have escaped just
punishment, justice has been too often robbed
Of her dues and communities outraged by the
convenient plea Of insanity, which needed to
be checked; and for this reason we are glad
that he was convicted and has been refused
psr1on.
We regard the plea Of insanity. in ninety.
nine cases out Of one hundred, as all outrage
upol justice and society, and believe it should
be &c, aside when exper, testimony is required
to sustain it. To escape punishment foY muir.
der man should be known By his acquain,'

Miss Fannie Clark commenced the exam-

ton. The promptness and accuracy with
which the bright, cheerful and happy looking
children responded to all the questions pro.
pounded, particularly the correct pronurcia>
zion Of geogra ,hica! names by some OF the
small children, was prefectly astonishing
for We all know how difficult il is fer even
grown people to pronounce correctly some OF
the names we find in the biographies. II
shows plainly how careful Miss Fannie is in
regard even to the slightest details.
Even her junior grammar and geography
classes stood a better examination than mas
jority of teachers we have examined within
the las, two years, in our capacity Of examin-
ing committee for the board Of school directors
for Richland parish, to say nothing OF senior
classes Only these classes and the spelling
and reading classes compo..d Of the little five
to seven year.old children, were examined
on Wednesday; and the latter acquitted
themselves very credi,ably.
Miss Fannie has her school under very
good discipline, especially when we take into
consideration the fact that she has so many
children that are in the infan,ile state; bu,
We think we have discovered that the secret
of her success is in having won their love as
well as esteem and respect, for every one of
them, without any exception, appears to be
devoted to her The fact is the children all
love her, and their love is worthily bestowed.
As for us, we are proud of orr teacher, and

almost everything they fall upon and are fast
drying up vegetation.
Some of our planters say that cotton does
not need rain JET, while others say that every.
thing is suffering for ii-coron as well as any
thing else but all are agreed that all the
corn--late as well as carly plan,ing-has been
injured, almost ruined. by the drought. II
we were to have rain to-day even the corn
crop of this parish would no, perhaps turn out
more than half crop, for i, has been need

bu, net enough to do any good. Las, Satur-
day there was pretty good shower of rain
within four or five miles of Rayville on the
east, but very liue Of it fell on cultivated land
that We have heard of.
The crops have been kept clean, but upon
the whole the crop prospect of our parish is
very unpromising, and if the drought, continues
only few days longer it will be wholly blast
