Thcro aro too many lunatics at largo in this country for their own or tho publio good. If wo aoccpt tho reooived opinion that all who commit or attempt to commit suicide, ?and all who aro guilty of sorao orimo of un parallelled atrocity aro insano, there must ho a Bmnll army of lunatics at largo in tho United States. Tho first class injure only themselves to tho benefit of tho country, but the latter stand ns priviloged criminals, who proy on society and at whoso hands no man's life is secure. Wo havo very little faith in thia lunney dodge In fact wo boliovo that mon grow tirod of lifo and commit suicido either wheu depressed or intoxicated, and yet have business capacity and know right from wrong porfcotly. Much moro do wo boliovo that tho grossost crimes aro committed under protended insanity, In law children aro held criminally Hablo and may bo hung for mur? der, without regard to ago whon they aro doli capax, a thing to bo gathered from cir oumstancos attending tho killing, such as scoreoy, flight, &o. Instances aro of rooord of ohildreo from sovon to niuo years old be ing exooutod for murder. That was in tho good old days when tho law enforced rospoot and obedience through its sanctions. At this day mon can know how and when to shoot, who to shoot, tho valuo af flight, &c., but they do not know enough to bo hung. Tho moro aggravated aud unnatural tho orimo tho bettor chance for tho insanity dodge. It has long boon usod in Now York and other Northorn States, where it has boon sublimated into various kinds, among them emotional insanity. It is coming into voguo in tho South and wo nro surprised at tho number of madmen at largo, If it ?prend? it may be come necessary to employ physicians to ex amine nt intervals tho montai condition of citizens and coop up all doubtful poroons. Wo would not in tho least advocate tho pun? intiment of n person truly insane, but wo do think that this sudden and emotional insanity .which points to orimo should bo woll consid ered beforo juries ucquit. It is due u 'io publio safety that orimo should not bo cov ered up by emotional insanity any moro than by drunkonnoss or ovon by a devilish spirit. Mon too insane to know right from wrong or to respect human lifo oan bo dotcctod without tho aid of an oxport. They BIIOUUI bo taken up and treated in tho institutions provided for such coses, but others soneiblo nt nil times, who committing somo gravo orimo, put up tho ploa of insanity, should, unless clearly in sano, bo convicted and either lodged in tho penitentiary or othorwisj disposed of. - - - mm - President Garfield. Tho attempt to nssnssinnto Prosidcnt Gar.? field has mot thu condemnation of tho proas nnd pcoplo of this groat country without re gard to party and alto of all civilized nations. To him lito is no swootor than to tho hum blest citieon of tho country, nor would tho taking of his lifo, tinder tho law, bc any gloater crime than (ho murdor of another. Still in a social and political ponso tho mur dor of tho excoutivo hoad of a Stato or mi" tion works injuries of a publio character not likely to flow from simple murder. It moans confusion, tho danger of anarchy, that spirit of uncertainty which affects prejudicially ovary vital interest of tho country. It strikos nt tho government itself and thus threatens to overthrow nil restraint, dopresa trade and rondor nt unrest al! social and moral forces. How natural, then, that tho heart of tho oountry should go forth in gratitude toOod that tho dastardly deed failed of accomplishment, not only beoaUfO of tho vile character of tho contemplated orimo in itself, but booauso of tho pnblio calamity likely to flow from its euccoBS. Tho motive which prompted tho not has boon Inrgoly disoussod by tho Press, not n foW Claiming it to bo tho fruit of a conspiracy with which othors unknown aro oonncctod, whilo others bolicyo it to be tho promoditntod not of Ouitonu to rovenge bimsolf for failure to got some appointment, whilo others, tho groator oloss, regard it tho not of a madman, whoso hallucination took tho shape of deliv ering his oountry from a supposed ruin. So far thom acorns to bo no ground for tho the ory of any plot, tho opinion growing out of tho confusion rosulting from tho notion of tho President in his appointing power and the excitement from tho resignation and attempt nt ro-eleotion of tho Now York Sonators, This of co mao ia ground less, for no thinking roan could hardly ooncoivo thia would be eon** oooted as a remedy, apart from tho .distin guished oharaoter of tho loaders of tho oppo sition to tho administration. Tbs New York ?Vu? relatos as a parallel lustanoe tho attempt of Riobard Lawrence to assassinate President Jackson in 1835, wbile ho was attending at tho capitol tho funeral of Warren R, Davis, a distinguished member of tho IIouso of Representativos from South Carolina. Tho assassin waitod for the close of tho ceremony and as tho Presidont was leavlug tho capitol snapped two pistols suc cessively at and within a fow feot cr tho Presidont, tho ospB oiplodlng, but failing to ignite the powdor. Tho pistol was Found to be carefully loaded with powder and ball. Tho assassin was declared to bo a lunntio, who imagined the President bad killod his father. At that time, says the Sun, tho Globe published an arttolo which reflooted ou Mr. Culhoun'a eourso and speoob on tho day be? foro as probably prompting tho aot, to which Mr. C. replied. Wo publish in this issue this pieco of history. Wo know the tondoncy to seek a motivo for Brime, but do not think any plot was evor formed to kill President Qarfiold. On the sontrary wo believe tho assassin was for tho time demented, though his conduct shows method in his madness. This, too, eooms to be the theory at present accepted, as tho sot was both unexpected and uncalled for. The administration of tho Government un ier Qarfiold has not been objootionablo to the pcoplo, unless it bo to tho Stalwart element of tho Republican p&rty. Even with this faction tho diflioulty has arisen rather from tho dis tribution of tho spoils than from any not of maladministration or any violation of tho fundamental prinoiplos of tho govornmont. [Io lins been too fair and too conservativo to pienso the Stalwarts, but his course has beon melt an mot generally tho approval of tho ;rent body of tho pcoplo of nil parties, who rained tho progross and prosperity of tho ?ountry nbovo party nsoeudanoy. Tho effect of thoattompt has boon to moko .'resident Garfield tho most conspicuous man n tho United Statos. His past mistakes aro lither forgotten or wiped out io his blood, md his present and futuro administration dds fuir to moot tho approbation and support >f tho whole country. With anything Uko aro ho cannot only promoto largely tho in crcsts of tho wholo country, but eau put off ds rubes of ?frico at tho end of his torra on? oying tho highost respect and oonfldonco of da country, That which proved to bo a most crious misfortuno to himself and family and o tho country has become a blessing in dis ;uise, not only securing a general sympathy or his administration, but in opening out auch of his privato character and domestic irtucs, securing to him ns an individual tho .flection and confidence of mon of all par ies. Its effect on tho country promises to bo, to onoiliato, descotionalizo aud unify. Tho 0088ngcs of regret for tho country, of Bym nu hy for tho President and of condolence for iis family, forwarded by loading .Southern non and Democrats all ovor tho country, bo ng tho heart feelings of tho people, cannot nil of good effect. It is reasonably hopod hat tho ill aimed bullet of tho assassin will uddonly work moro peace and good fooling ictweon tho sections and partios in a week han tho canting, hypocritical spoccbos of lomngogucs and politicians have, accomplish id in fifteen years. In thia way order moy tonio out of Confusion, happiness out of cu nnii ty and friendship out of sectional hate. Wbntever bo its effect, and whethor or not ho President recover, tho nssnssln Quitcau is IOHO tho loss guilty or dosorving of punish* acut.

SHOOTING AT THE PRESI DENT. History Repeats Itself-Tho Mur derous Assault Upon President Jackson In 1830. WASUINOTON, July, 6.-Tho attempt o Richard Lawrcnco to assassinate Presiden Jackson was attended by circumstances nm surroundings which benr a striking analog; to thoso of thc recent more startling event it tins city. In that caso tho would-be assassil displayed the greatest ooolnoss and resolution By careful inquiry ho ascertained that th President would bo present nt tho Capitol a tho funeral of n distinguished member of th House of Representatives, Warron lt. Davis af South Carolina. Ho stationed himself 01 tho EiiRt portico, whero ho wnitcd tho clos of tho ceremony in tho House of Representa fives, and for the procession to inovo ou through tho rotunda; and as tho President, ii company with Mr. Woodbury, the Scorctnry c tho Treasury, passed within a feet of bin Lawrcnco stepped forward and snapped pistol nt him. The percussion cop, then a rc cent invention, exploded with a loud noise which arrested tho attention of all presen1 Tho assassin immediately dropped tho pisto nnd drew another which ho likewise snappe without cfleet. In a moment ho was knocke down by Lieut. Gcdney, of tho navy, and wu secured. On examination it was ascertained thc both pistols were in good order, and that tho had been carefully loaded with powdor nn hall. Tho Globe, tho official organ, regarde tho failure of tho caps to explode as ovidonc of thc superintending caro of Providence ov< tho groat defender of tho liberties of ti people It was no fault of Lawrenco, nt an rate, that he fnilcd to execute his tnurdoroi purposo. Ile had laid his plans for onooui tcring tho President with skill, and displuyc tho dospcrato couraga of a 'modorn Nihill in carrying them into execution. Unliko tl wretch Quitcuu, who assailed his unsuspco ing victim from behind, Lawrence confronte tho eagle oyo of tho old hero, and, ncoardir to tho Maternent of tho latter, ho did n quail when sot upon by tho President ar his friend*. According to tho National intelligencer that dnto, Lawrence was a lunntio who in ngincd that President Jackson had killed li father, although thc latter, a honan painter 1 trado, died in his bcd ton or twclvo yea prior to this event. Ho also believed, or pi tended to believe, that ho was tho lawful lu to tho crown of England. His wholo mann was frank nnd fearless nnd these hallucin lions may ha vc been only feigned. Ata rate, Gen. Jackson and his organ, tho Ghi thought so, and thc General regarded Lai ronco ns tho ngont for executing tho bloo thirsty decrees of his onomics. Tho folio ing remarks of tho Globe aro identical in spirit with thoso quoted in tho Sun fri Bomo of its contemporaries in roforcnoo tho assassination of Mr. Garfield: "Whethor Lawrcnco has caught, in ' visits to tho Capitol, tho mania which pi vailed during tho two Inst sessions of I Sonnie; whether ho has become infat?a with tho chimeras which have troubled I bral ns of tho disappointed and nmbitii orators who havo depicted tho President a Ca?sar who ought to havo a Rrottis, ti Cromwell, a Nero, a Tibori us, wo know r, If no secret conspiracy has prompted perpetration of tho horrid deed, wo thin! not improbable that some delusion of inl lect has grown out of his visits to the Cn toi, and that hearing despotism, and oven I riblo mischief, threatened to tho Republic i revolution nnd all its train of calamities i puted ns tho necessary consequence cf President's measures, it nitty bo that tho fatuatod man fancied ho had reasons to como his country's nvongor. If he had ht: and believed Mr. Calhoun's spooeh of day boforo yesterday, ho would llave foiim it ample justification for his attempt on who wan represented as tho cause of thc ii dreadful Calamities to tho nation, ns oho \ mndo perfect rottonnoss nnd corruption pervade tho v?rala of tho Qovorntnont, it much that it was scarcely worth proservi if it woro possible." In tho Scnato, on Fobruary % Mr. Calli called attention to thoso remarks of Globe, and had thom rend from tho So tory's desk. In thooourso of hrs remarki said: Whatovcr might bo tho character of pnp?r (tho Globe) from which tho parugr just road had bcon taken; however low, h over degraded its oharaoter might bo, it yot known to bo thc organ of tho Exeou willi and that it was sustained, pampered and dependent frpofi (hat Lu,'.ich of the vernmont, and in commenting ou a paragrt liko tho prosent, in which tho Executive personally concerned, it was not an un presumption to conoludo that it had had sanction-had boon authorized by him. pass ovor tho personal insinuations, which lie had obsorved, woro unworthy of notice (Mr. 0.) would say a fow words on tho political principio cet iorth in tho paragrt It was impossible to road tho article- abd not POO th fit it wont on tho ground that whoovor oondernns what ho believes conscientiously to be tho abuses and corruptions of this Govern ment was to be held up in tho light of an instigator of assassination, and that no un? cortfti'nty on this point might bo left on tho taitfd o'f thc reader, the artiole referred to a particular transaction in whioh he (Mr. 0.) was personally concerned. He would not ooucioKcond to defend himself in relation to matter? 'contained in,tho paragraph that had boon road, they needed no dofouoe. What wore tho faotof The Senate Wore in debate on tho Post Ornee reporte. Tho Pest Offioe, it was acknowledged on ali bands, stood con victed of enormous abuses, not to say cor ruptions. Hu had ripen in his pince to com ment generally on the ahupes thus exhib ited, be had mado no porsonat allusions whatever. He spoke of the corraptions of tho timos and of thom mainly, though this h'e did cay, that thu ovil wan not so inutth to be attributed to any dofeot in tho working of the machinery as in the Administration itsolf. Yet theso general denuneiat???s in theso broad toi rn? nroaoported by the Govern? ment oflicial organ UH warranting an individ ual to tn uko this attempt nt assassination. Could he have wantonly paid that whioh would havo authorized assassination, ho would havo been little bettor than tho assassin him-, self. Tho Globe reiterated Its charges from day to day. Two eminent physicians examined Lawrence with reference to his tnnity and reported on tho case. Tho Globe, referring to this report, says: It will bo seen, on rending their joint state ment, that his mind has given way under thc political excitement created hy tho nlurmiptf in Congress, who, fur a sonson, threw thc whole country into consternation by theil dreadful predict urns and unremitting impre cations against tho President. This execu tioner of thc denunciations first uttered by tho orators and which then teemed from thc pross nnd became tho cherished and familial sentiment nf ovary dop(icralo man in thc country, pccms firmly to have embraced thc conviction that the loss nf his business and nil tho misfortunes of his own wretched con dition vvcro produced hy the President. On n porusi I ol' thc st al om cut? of Dr. drusi n and Sewell, it will bo peon that he reasoned altogether upon thc delusions of the artificial panie and that tho remedy with him WOH ic effect somewhat that of the politicians who desired to put tho President out of tho way by dostroying him politically, whilo theil more weak minded partisan looked upon tin destruction of tho President's lifo as n mort direct and certain modo of accomplishing thc object. Ho supposed that if tho Presiden wore dead. Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster or Mr Calhoun would succeed and that nil tin mischiefs they depicted would bc at an end. No one can read tho poper furnished u by Drs. Cousin and Sowcll without porcoivini that tho assassin V mind was precisely in tba morbid state which turned tho dreams of th excited enemies nf thc Administration int realities. While Mr. Calhoun proclaimed i "revolution," this suffering proselyte wh could not pay his board, went roundly t work to pioduco it. Nothing moro seems to havo boon oxpectei to rosult from these, remarks of tho Glob than to awaken tho prejudices of tho poopl ngainst tho distinguished leaders of tho op position to Con. Jackson's Administration although rho insinuation is thrown out tba they may have entered into a conspiracy nm employed,Lawrence ns their agent. This pur pose however, was disclaimed by tho Globe. Hu as regards Senator Qoorgo Poindoxter, o Mississppi, n distinct ohargo of conspiracy with La wron ec was mado nnd ninda vit s won produced from citizens to sustnin it. Thost affidavits woro laid beforo tho President am he gavo full credence to thom. Tho alliants David Stownrt and Mordecai Poy, mado ont that they had soon Lawronco go into thi dwelling of Poindoxter on tho Tuesday pro ceding tho nttoinpt to assassinate the Presi dent. Foy said ho had seen him go in fror time to time, and Stewart profossed to hnv soeu thom in conversation "in Poindexter' passage" Mr. Poindexter domamdednn investignliot A committee was appointed nnd tho rosu was a complete exoneration of that gentlemai ns might have boon oxpootod from his woll known honorable character. Stewart, ono ( tho affiants, was proven to bo a man of dot pionblo oharaotor and Foy was not believe! Tho Globe admitted that tho charge ngaini tho Senator was without foundation. But seems that Qen. Jackson adhered to his vic loot suspicions. Miss Martinonu wus ? Washington and attended tho funeral of M Davis, when tho attempted ensilas'-, n nth occurred. She gives tho following acoou of thc excitement and thc animcsitios whit tho affair produced: It so happened that wc woro engaged to porty at Mr. Poindexter's tho very evening tho attack upon the President. Tho was so tremendous a thunder storm that ot host and hostess woro disappointed of almo all their guests except ourselves and wo hi difficulty in morely crossing tho street, boil obliged to havo planks laid across the floo which gushed botwecn tho enrriago and tl steps of tho door. Tho conversation turm upon tho event of tho morning. I kne titilo of tho qunrrol whioh was now to bo I dreadfully aggravated, but tho moro I nfte wards hoard tho moro I admired tho ninden tion with whioh Mr, Poindoxter spoko of li foe that night, and asoften ns I subsequent met him. 1 had intended to visit tho Prosidont tl day ofter the funeral, but I hoard so much his determination to consider tho attack political affair and I had so ludo wish to ho it so treatod against tho botter knowledge all tho world, that I stayed away as lot hs I could. Before 1 wont 1 was poi tivoly assured of Lawonco'a instini by oho of tho physicians who wc appointed to visit him. Ono tho pod- creature's complaints wns that Go Jacksnli deprived him of thc British erm in which ho wa? heir. When I did gi to tl White Houso, I took tho briefest posible n tico to tho Prosidont of tho "insane nttCinp of Lawronco, but tho word roused his Ho. I protested, in tho prosonca of many str?nget that (hero was no Insanity in (lio o'rf&o. 1 tl silent, of course Ho protested that Micro w a plot and that tho man wa9a tool and at leng quoted tho Atlornoy-?encral as his r.uthorii lt was painful lo hear a chief ruler trying persuade aforcigner that any of his constituid Ii fited him lo the death; and I took tho tibet of changing (ho subject as soon as I cou Tho next evening I was at tho Aliorncy-Gc crat's and I asked him how ho could lot hims bo quoted as saying that Lawrcnco was i mad. Ho excused himself by saying that meant general insanity. Ho believed Lawren insane in ono direction-(hat it was a sort ltavalllao caso. I besought him to Impress t President with thia view" of tito ouso. lt is seen from the foregoing statement (1 (ho suspicions engendered irt (ho minds of Ol Jackson and his friends against (he cmini leaders of tho opposition, victo far moto vioh than any that havo fo'n'nd utterance among t friends of Mr. Garfield. Mort so eminent Messrs. Calhoun,' Clay and Wooster, if r openly accused of a coitspiraoy, wove held tc public condetrtaa'tiou'aa having nVaddoirod t bratu n/id nerved tho arm of tbe assassin by the j violence of their unjust aoousatlons against the President; while another eminent and honorable Ronator, the gallant Poindexter, of Mississippi, vf OB openly aooused of conspiring with tbe wretch for the accomplishment of his murder* ous purpose, and vile witnesses were prooured to swear to tho oonspiraoy. Another point of analogy between the cir cumstances attending thc BO two events consists in the faot that the eminent men In eaoh case who stand accused of hutching conspiracy helped to plaoo in power the Administration they aro charged with wishing to pull down by violence. Mr. Poindexter and Mr. Calhoun had assisted to elect Olen. Jackson In 1828, and tbe formor bad been bis defender in 1810 against the charge of the lawless invasion of Florida. Over tho County.
