PROTECTION OF FEDERAL JUDGES.
The question of providing special pro-
lection for federal judges is naturally
suggested by the California tragedy.
A writer in the New York Sun, whom
we assume from the initials to his COM
munication to be George Ticknor Cur
tbs, the distinguished lawyer, discusses
this question, observing that it is very
evident that there are regions Of coun-
try within the United States in which
the judges OF the federal courts need
special protection from violence
at the hands OF persons whom
it has been their judicial duty
to punish, or to decide adversely
the litigations in which such persons
have been engaged.
Mr.. Curtis fully approves of the ir-
structlons given by the attorney gem
eral of the United States to the marshal
OF California. to protect the person OF
Judge Field by special guard. In the
absence of a statute providing for such
protection of the federal justices, he
remarks, it is the plain duty of the de-
partment of justice, when particular
Judge is known to be in peril from a
lawless person, to detail a guard for
his protection. There could be
no more suitable guard than q
deputy of the marshal. California is
not, says Mr.. Curtis, or was not on the
day OF this occurrence, state in which
the attorney general OF the United
States could rely on the state authori-
ties to protect the person OF Judge
Field, under all the circumstances by
which he has been surrounded since he
punished Terry for an outrageous con-
tempt of court. The instructions under
which the deputy marshal acted will,
In the opinion of Mr.. Curtis, furnish no
defense for Nagle when he Is put
on trial for killing Terry, but
the event, he thinks, ought to
furnish reason why the people of the
United States should provide, by act of
congress, for the protection of the
presence Of federal judges wherever
they are.
Mr.. Curtis says II is undoubtedly
within the constitutional competency of
congress to pass law for this purpose.
The power to establish courts OF the
United States, to appoint judges, and to
define their functions. clearly includes
power to take any necessary and
proper measures to enable them
to discharge their functions in
safety. Such statute, sug-
gests Mr.. Curtis, should make every as
sault on federal judge, committed be-
! cause Of anything that he is doing or
has done in his official duties, pun
ishable in the federal courts alone, and
provision should be made IN the law
for the removal into a federal court OF
| any indictment or other proceeding
instituted ia state court. The pun
| ishment for such assaults should be far
heavier than in ordinary cases, and
| when the case amounts to an assault
with intent to kill the punishment
should not be less than imprison-
ment for life. 1t is intolerable, con-
cludes Mr.. Curtis, that the federal
| judges should not be able to discharge
their functions without taking their
| lives in their hands.
1t is to be expected that some such

HER LIFE SAVED.

Mrs. Maybrick Will not die by the
gallows. The British home secretary,
an able lawyer, after a most careful
study OF the evidence in the case, found
reasons 10 justify communication of sem
tence TO penal servitude for life. The
unfortunate woman has been prostrated
since her conviction ana sentence to
death. The action Of the home secre-
tary may have an effect upon her more
salutary than all the skill of the doctors.
In being rescued from the valley OF
the shadow of death, and given hope of
further clemency in the course OF time,
there may come reaction that will re-
store her to complete health.
English justice will gain in the re-
spect OF the world by the action OF the
home secretary. The trial of Mrs. May
brick was in some respects so extraordi-
nary as to challenge criticism from the
most intelligent aud conservative Eng
lishmen, while In this country there
has been nothing but condemna-
tion of it. The remarkable charge
of the judge seemed plainly
to show that the court was strongly
prejudiced against the prisoner. 1t
was in effect an order to the jury to
convict. Another extraordinary fact
was the freedom allowed the jury, in
reading the newspaper reports and
opinions and discussing the case with
individuals. So far as the jury was
concerned the trial was little better
than farce. Nowhere in this country
would jury having the life of an ac-
cused person in its power be al
lowed to do what was permit
ted to this English jury, and
it was probably without precedent
in England. 1t is presumed these eX-
traordinary features of the trial had
material influence in determining the
action of the home secretary. They
we're certainly most potent in inducing
the tens of thousands of signatures to
the petitions asking communication OF
sentence.
No criminal case has ever excited a
more general interest throughout Eng
land than this, and had the death sem
tence been carried out the popu-
lar denun citation of the govern
ment would have been greater
than has been known in many
years. 1t is not questionable that the
government would have lost thousands
of friends, while the course taken will
doubtless gain it friends. At any rate
it will not nave weakened itself in the
popular regard. The home secretary,
also, has improved his claim to public
respect and confidence. He gave to this
case careful, thorough and conscien-
tious study, and there is every reason to
believe that his action was prompted
neither by the public demand nor by
sentiment, but by a full conviction that
justice required it.
Mrs. Maybrick has friends and re-
sources, and If she RECEIVERS her health
and a way can be found to prove that
she did not poison her husband, doubt
less no effort will be spared to establish
her innocence. But as celebrated
case that has commanded an unusual
degree of popular attention and dis
| cussion, it will now speedily pass from
| public consideration, a condition which
it may be assumed will be especially
satisfactory to the remarkable judge
and jury who tried the case.

law as is thus suggested will be pro-
posed in congress, and very likely
there would be no serious opposition to
It. The American people have pro-
found regard for the judicial branch OF
the government, and any measure nee
essary TO give its officials complete secur-
ity while in discharge OF their functions
will be approved. But there Is in this
very fact of universal deep-seated re-
spect for the federal judiciary a source
of protection which to many will seem
ample with such safeguards as are al
ready provided. This California Incl
dent was without precedent in our his
tory. In the hundred years OF the life
Of the supreme court OF the United
States no member OF it, so far as we are
aware, was ever before threatened with
violence, and certainly none was ever
personally assaulted. In "a century there
has appeared but one man with dis
position so lawless, reckless and
vindictivc as to publicly attack a justice
OF the supreme court, and unless it be
admitted that the popular respect for
the federal judiciary is deterioratiug a
parallel to this case may not happen in
another century. Certainly such an ad-
mission can not be made in view of the
nearly unanimous popular verdict upon
the killing of Terry. While, therefore,
there may be no serious objection to
special Legislation for the protection of
federal judges, it may be doubted
whether there is any real urgency
for it,
