SUA INSANITY.

An effort is being made by the press generally to awaken publio seatiment, and especially the judicial portion of it, to the absolute necessity that exists for the imprisonment for life of men who, having committed murder, are acquitted on the plea of insanity. That the plea has been grossly abused is undisputed, and that this abuse is on the increase is equally clear. During the past decade scores of double dyed viilians have es caped through this loop-bole. It is the first thing suggested after the wily lawyer nas satisfied himself that his cli ent has money. Jurors, in the face of tho most convincing testimony, accept tho unsupported evidence of the man who labors to provo himself insane,,and, with a sublime disregard for all tho die tates of reason and common souse, let him loose to a&ain kill h's man whenever one of his unavoidable paroxysms of insanity happens to overcome

A bill has recently been introduced in the New York State Senate which provides that "whenever any insane person aceused of arson, murder, or highway robbery shall have been acquitted upon trial, upon tho ground of insanity, the jury shall bring in a special verdict to that efTect, and so state it in the finding, and the court before which such trial is had shall order such person to be committed to tho State Lunatic Asylum for Insane Criminals for life." This bill seoms to cover tho ground completely, and, if it becomes a law, as it probably will, New York will no longer be at the mercy of devils like Scannel, who are subjeet to temporary insanity, and the premium upon murder will bo largely reduced.

And there should be no difficulty in tho mind of anyone in regard to the justice and necessity of imprisonment for life, under proper restrictions, of course, of persons guilty of murder who have been acquitted on the ground of insanity. Generally speaking the guilt of the accused is admitted therefore, having escaped punishment for a dreadful crime becauso of a demented condition, these maniacs should be provented from doing further damage by being placcd in secure asylums. If their insauity was simply a sham, then the reasons for imprisoning tbem become doubly cogent. Society is defenceless so long as the rage which is excited in the bosom of a bad man, at sight of his enemy, is held to be insanity, and solo Jg as men afflicted iti this manner with ungovernable rage, are allowed to go at large. That the overshadowing necessity of better laws upon this subject has not forced itself upon legislators long before this, seems unaccountable. Jurors would frequently do the right thing if their course were more clearly defined by the statutes^ and, in any event, they could no longer aid ia the escape of would-be insand criminals, if the law piovided for the keeping ef that dangerous class. Murder is the most terrible of all crimes against Qod and man, but the slight attention which has been paid of late to the improvement of the laws bearing upon that crime proves that there is a growing insensibility to its enormity which is not creditable to the age in which we live. Law-makers should hedge around the commission of this crime with penalties so closely interwoven that there will be no loophole ef escape, and so severe that murderous insanity will soon become a thing of the past. ——SSS!S!BS!==^

IN their excessive anxiety to keep tho field clear for Morton, the noisy politicians of the Republican party in this State have been very unanimous and diiligent in abnsing Grant and condemning his supposed aspirations for a third term. As they have, done about all the talking, and as they have talked incessantly, quiet Republicans who have a sincere respect for Grant, and who in finitely prefer him to Morton, have been in a manner "cowed," and hesitate about expressing their real opinions, for fear of being laughed at. Now we honestly believe that there is a strong publio sentiment in this State in favor of President Grant's re-election. It may not l*e so large as that in favor of Morton, but It is respectable and were it not for the latter1* successful management in the past six months, it would be decided and overpowering. This third term bugaboo is pure humbug and the sober sense of the poople recognize it as such. Their right is undoubted to elect their rulers to just as many terms as they please. If they prefer Grant to anybody else there is no reason on earth why they shouldn't vote for him. Grant is a candidate for a third term. Nobody need feci anyways

tho presence of a hated enemy. V" It is evident that men who aro in reality subject to intermittent insanity, and become dangerous during their term of mental aberation should bo locked up and closely guarded, and lying murderers, who seek to escape the consequences of their crimes by pretending to be long to the same category, should be treated in a similar manner. Either horn of the dilemma lands them in the lock-up if insane, they cannot be trusted at large if cool blooded murderers they deserve the penalty, and then according to no principle of logic, can the plea of insanity ever set at large the man whose hands are crimsoned with hi neighbor's blood.

JUDOB CABLKTON'S leoture on Books and Reading ia announced for Monday evening, January 24th, at the Baptist church on Cherry street.

NAitrKit A BROTHERS, of New York, announce a new work on "Political •Romanism," by CoL R. W. Thompson, of Indiana. It will be published in one volume of 700 pages and ready early in the spring.

THE reeent discussion of amnesty for all who participated in the rebelion proves conclusively that though wo may forgive, and strive ever so hard to bury out of sight, every recollection and memory of the barbarisms and cruelties practiced by our rebel enemies, wd cannet forget them and should not if we could. Treason and inhumanity are odious and should be so eternally. It is clear enough that the present genera Hon aro not likely to forget.

THK discussion of the amnesty bill is reviving a good deal of war literature in tho shape of prison reminiscences and almost forgotten military orders from confederate gesterals. Nearly every Northern newspaper, with a few Democratic exceptions, is able to contribute something or other of present interest. In successfully stirring up Northern bitterness against the unrepentant rebels of the South, Blaine has left Morton clear out ef sight.

JOHN RUSKIN advocates dancing as a part of religious education and assails young lady Sunday, school teachers thus: "At present you keep your dancing to yourselves, and graciously teach your scholars the catechism. Supposo you were to tryTfor a little while learning the catechism yourselves and teach them to dance." We are afraid John Ruskin has ruined his chance in Indiana,

for

ever being elected a Sunday

school superintendent.

THE Presidents of the gas companies in Brooklyn, New York, have decided to reduce the price of gas to private consumers twenty-five cents on a thousand feet, furnishing it for $2.75 instead of $3, beginning with the bills tor the month of February. The companies have been driveu to this action, it is stated, by tho refusal of consumers to continue the use of gas at the high price, preferring to substituto kcrossne oil, with tho risk of explosions and burnings. At Richmond, Virginia, the price of gas has also been reduced from §3 to $2 per thousand feet.

ENGLISH LITERATURE. 3 A hint to those young people who intend to hear the course of lectures on English authors may bo timely. A lecture has for its object the inspiration of individual inquiry by itself considered it is a means valuable^only as it stirs investigation. It is well for one who would profit best by a lecture to read up on the topic so fur as possible before the address is heard. Then the speaker can be followed with more intense interest new points of thought will be suggested.

The play at a theater is enjoyed far more if it has been studied to some extent in advance. The actor's interpretation aids the reader. The encyclopaedia, or some compendium of literature and history should be consulted before each lecture and some selections Should be read from the author if possible.

A SCANDALOUS PRACTICE. Suppose," said an Iowa attorney to a witness whom he was cross-examining "Suppose, sir, I should tell you that I could bring a dozen of your neighbors who would swear they would not believe you under oath! What would you say t6 that And the witness replied very pleasantly, "1 should say you lied."

The Chicago Inter-Ocean remarks on the above current iteln that it is not often that the tables are thus turned on a brow-beating and insolent attorney, for unfortunately the latter always has the advantage, and too often is disposed to press it unfairly. There are instances of this almost every day in our courts A modest, quiet business man, unused to standing before a great audience, is placed in the witness-box. He unluckily knows some important facts about a case on trial before an intelligent jury. He states these facts truthfully and without malice. They are, tbougb not with any connivance en his part, fatal to the other side. The only rem. dy, therefore, is to destroy his evidence. Conse quently an important little fellow, with bristling hair and pompous tone, prepares to extinguish him. Leaning back in his chair and glaring at the modest man, the attorney opens: "Now, sir, what is your name?" Of course he knows it, the Jury know it. tho court knows it, but the attorney asks it again, as if it were of the greatest importance, and the witness might deny bis name on second thought. 8o he says, "Now, sir, what is your name

Thomas Brown," responds the modest man. What?" screams the lawyer. "Speak up, can't yeu You are not ashamed of your name, are you zt-

No, sir," replies Brown. Very well! Then speak up, so the jury can hear yoH. Now, sir, what is

your

interest in this case?" with a significant look at the jury. "I have no interest in it," replies the witness.

The attorney looks horrified at the total depravity of the witness. He glances at the jury attain, as much as to say: "Gentlemen, did you ever behold such turpltudo and then goes on speaking deliberately, and emphasizing every word with a beck of his fore-finger. "Do vou swear, sir, before this Jury, and in presence of this court, and on your Holemu oath, that you have no intent in this case?"

Yes, sir says Brown, blushing. "Yea, you have, or yes, you have not 1 have not."

Haven't you confeased within the past week to three different parties that you have an interest?" "No,sir replies Brown, trembling, and trying to thiuk if he baa ever uttered a word that could be tortured into sucli »n admission.

Vou. fweir fcwfore tbte

jury," MVD

the Httorm y, "that you haveM)V«rtalk«J abut this matter?"

I did not any I bad not talked," replied the witness. "Ah, ha! Then you have talked!" exclaims the attorney. "I thought I could refresh your recollection."

I only said"—continues the witness, desiring to explain but he is stopped abruptly. "Never mind what you said, sir. When I want to know what you have said I will inquire of you. I understand you now to admit that you have talked about the matter. Is that right "Isimply talked"—

Will you please answer my question?" thunders the attorney. "Have you talked, or have you not? Yes or no?" "Yea, but"- J*"That will do you need not goon, sir. That is ample. At last you admit that you, a witness, an important witness, in this case, have been around the town discussing the matter! Do you think that is the proper thing, sir, for a witness to do

The witness, abashed and humiliated, remains silent. Will you answer, sir?" continues the lawyer, threateningly. "Do you come before this jury, expecting to De believed, while admitting that you have made this case the subject of hope and fear, and discussed it on tho street?"

The- witness tries to explain, but is told to "stand down," ana leaves the box, feeling that in some way he has been made to appear iike a rascally perjurer, when he is as absolutely free from qtas or prejudice as the most disinterested spectator in the room. Any one who 1s at all familiar with our courts will see that the above is a very faint picture of the "badgering" to which witnesses are subjected. Indeed, a man giving his testimony might think he had escaped very easily if he met with nothing worse than this, and yet the imputations contained in the above would be resented with a blow in any other place than the courts. Such attacks are cowardly and disgraceful, and still they are permitted and winked at by our fudges. We call upon the latter to begin the correction of this scandalous imposition. It is as much their duty to protect witnesses from gratuitous insult as it is to protect innocent men from unmerited punishment. The law is an honorable profession, a profession which should be exalted, not dograded but it is degraded sadly by such exhibitions. Wo nave good reason to know that the best of its members despise such vulgar tricks and the men who resort to them, but there, are hundreds of others who imagine that the highest evidence of a judicial miud is an ability to deseend to billingsgate and

ersonal vituperation, and especially to this when the victim is defenseless and cannot respond. There is one power above lawyers and courts whicn can reform this practice if it cannot be reformed by voluntary action. Ihat power is the people and it may yet become necessary to demand a pledge from judicial candidates to put down this abusive practice as a condition precedent to their elevation to the bench.

A MUSICAL society in the south part of the city bids fair to walk away, shortly, with all the local laurels in that line. The regular orchestra of this society is composed of such gentlemen as Mr. It, L. Alder, Mr. H. Bossom, H. Wilkes, Henry Wilkes, Mr. J. Wilkea, Mr. August Hobertr and Mrs. J. Bossom, while the singers are no less accomplished than the musician*. It is said to be a rich treat to hear them, and we hope they will soon give the public that pleasure. _____________

AI.BKRT AEPPLY, A young man about nlneteeu years of age was run over, near the blast furnace, by a train on tho E. A C. railroad yesterday afternoon, and died last night at a quarter often o'clock. Tho deceased was a native of Switcerland, and had been in this country about three years, having worked the most of that time with S. R. Henderson and Moore A Ilagerty, at the tin business. He was an excellent young man, well educated and Intelligent, and was very highly esteemed #by

all who

knew him. The accident as the result of a

rash

attempt to climb on a moving

train. He will be twiied t» »rrow afternoon.

THE old Adelpbi is to be opened as a Sunday night theatre—if the city council consent and of oourse they will not dare offend the Germans by refusing.

JOHN KERN and George Smith, the two daylight burglars chased and captured by Officer Otterman, some weeks ago, were, on Thursday,' sentenced to three years each in the penitentiary.

THE Board of Directors of the Library Association met, Thursday night, and organized by the election of W. R. McKeen, president, Max Joseph, treasurer, and Leslie D. Thomas, secretary. Judge Long, Rev. E. F. Howe and Prof. W. H. Wiley were appointed an executive committee. So fur, all is well.

THE following gentlemen up Co this date courteously consent to join in the course of lectures on English Literature to be given during the next three months: Judge Carleton, Col. R. W. Thompson, Prof. Burt, Dr. Scovil,

Judge

Scott, Judge Long, Dr. J. Richardson, Superintendent Wiley, President Jones, and Mr. L. D. Thomas. Others are expected to aid in the enterprise.

HANGINO in the front part of Mr. O*. Trask's Jewelry stere, on Main street, is a large steel engraving entitled "On the March to the Sea." The name will indicate its character somewhat, and therefore the reader is spared an attempted description. But it is a wonderful piQture and to a person with a taste for such things, worth walking ten miles to see.

THK revival now in progress at the colored church, on south Third street, continues to grow in interest. Services are held three times a day, and the meetings at night seldom conclude before midnight. The revival is one of the regular "old fashioned" sort such as at this day and in this country is only possible among the colored race, though a number of white people attend very regularly and take an active part in the exorcises, shouting and all. Of course a large number of spectators are attracted each evening, but so far, the best of order has boen preserved. About fifty conversions have taken place.

A POINT for the location of Mr. Cliauncey Rose's proposed Orphan Asylum has at length been definitely fixed upon and the ground for that purpose purchased. The place selected is about two miles north of Main Btreet, upon what is known as the Ilill farm. It lies between the Durkee's Perry road and the road immediately west of that. The tract purchased contains eighty acres of ground, and foi' this Mr. Early WHS paidf: $12,000. The architect's plans lbr the*' building have been adopted by then* Board of Directors, and work will beginjj*t early in the spring. The building wilL^ cost, when completed, about $65,000. It$-! will stand nearest the Durkee's Ferry':" road and front east. The architect is,v the same who furnished plans for the"1 Polytechnic building. The Asylum' will have a capacity for two hundred! and fifty children. It will be known aa, the Vigo Orphan Asylum. Mr. RoseJU has already given to the trustees 5150,000^cash, and this is understood to bo onlyi^, "a starter." It

IT was a sad surprise to many warm^ friends to hear, last Sunday evening,^ that John S. Humaston had died that^ day, at the residence of his mother ou^ Ohio street. It was known that ho hadtla been quite seriously ill forseveral weeks,I' and his iutimate friends knew that, for| a number of years, he had been agreutjjg sufferer, but none supposed liitn in a dangerous condition. Even tho mem-|' bers of the family were not particularly^ alarmed about him until Saturday eve-*., ning or Sunday morning. Many friendsH called to see him Sunday afternoon,, even after his death, and wcro greatly shocked by learning that tho end hads come. fc

Asayoun^ business man. tho career*! of Mr. Humaston has in it a valuable* lesson for yeung men. Ho owed nothing to what are usually regarded as* "favorable circumstances." Without*, means, without influence,, without posi tion, in a word, without a single source* of strength outside of himself, he bad* won so enviable a position among busi-. ness men that all regarded his future as secure. By untiring industry, imwavcr-^ ing honpsty, economy, perseverance aid promptness, ho not only acquired the means necessary to start himself inH business, but, what is moro needful and* helpful than money, he won the entire confidence of business men and patrons,, and of all who knew him. Added to. theso qualities was his unvarying goodnature which won numerous friends.* No young man in tho city had fairer* prospects in business than Mr. IIumaston, and, in this

rcspeet,

most

ho literally

made his own way, and so marked out-f clearly the path to success to everyf young man who chooses to follow it.

As a faithful son, also, he was for£^

among tho best that ever blessed and helped a parent. He was not only true to all the interests of his mother,^ but he ever deemed It a sweet privilege*j to aid her in every way possible. A*' better son nouiother over lowt, and sbet, has the deep and heartfelt sympathy,:^ not only of all who know her, but of aJI who knew and honored hiin for whom she mourns. rv,"i Av\t*

The funeral was attended on Tuesday afternoon, and it is seldom that so many private carriages are found in a funeral 4 procession as-were In that which followed blra to his last resting place. Ho was a member of tho Congregational church, and though, largely on account, of the peculiarity of his disease, he had not attended church services as regularly as some, yet, in his honesty, industry and filial atTW-tion, ho manifested^ the resultiMjf. (Christian principle.
