THE GOODMAN CASE.

From the time Goodman shot Parsons
until now Tie Times has had nothing
whatever to say Of the case. except TO
report the news relating TO the tragedy.
This was in pursuance Of a principle
which The Times thinks one OF the high
est importance. Goodman and his case
were in the hands Of the law, and whilst
the law is dealing With matter OF That
sort no one has a right to say or do a
thing that may tend 10 warp public opin-
! ion and cause the scales Of public jus
| tice 10 incline one way or the other. But
the case having come 70 an end, and the
accused being condemned after a
perfectly impartial trial. 1t is not only
fitting. but it is the duty Of an in<epend-
ent journal to express its opinion regard
ing 1t.
IL would have been a scandal and n dis
grace to the state If Goodman had not
been convicted and severely punished.
There IS unquestionably Il disposition
amongst some members OF our society to
rush too hastily to self-vinUcation, in
stead Of rcsorting to the laws, and If
Goodman's act had been inspired by no
other motive than this, 1t would have
been fitting that a jury should make
him smart for seeking TO redress his
wrongs himself. instead OF appealing 10
the laws of his country for vlndcation.
But the verdict OF the jury establishes
thI. fact that his crime rested upon a state
Of mind different altogether from that.
1t proves that If it was not wholly ma
llclous and premeditated II was 50 near
" so as barely 10 escape that category.
If ne had not been condemned and Sc
verey punished in this state Of the case,
there would have been a miscarriage Of
justice, and our fair name would have
been stained
During the progress Of the trial we have
repeatedly heard it said that those noun
taineers cared nothing about law or NE,
and that they would not punish Good
man. We have never failed TO dissent
from this view whenever We have heard it
expressed The hardy mountaineer.

We would sooner rely upon the mountain
Ger to do exact justice In q case Of this
sort than upon any other class of the
population. The jury in this case has had
to struggle against every appeal TO the
and pity OF man that men can
know. But they have discharged their
duty, under the most trying circumstances
that can arise, like men. and they de-
serve the thanks Of their feuow-country-
