It is not a certain thing that we have heard
the last, even yet, of Andrew Johnson, He
still has opportunities to gratify his, passion
for message-writing, in the shape of vetoes
ansi other-special-documents; but it is a huge
relief to think that the country has heard the
- last of his annual messages. Knowing that
whatever he might say would not be of the
slightest value to anybody, or exercise the
slightest influence upon the policy of Con
gress or the sentiment of the people, he
steernato have availed, himself of the oppor
tunity to -rinse out antis old vials of wrath,
whichiin past times, he has emptied upon
the hash of Congress and the nation at large.
The 'House; with wonderful long suffering,
-heard-his insolent tirade through, and then
'treated it with severe reprobation,
vonfirting its reception -to the bare
limits -. necessary to place at among the
official documents of Congress. The Senate
waeless patient, and several Senators inter
posed to prevent the reception of a document
which they veryproperly pronounced "dis
respectful, offensive and untruthful." Mr.
'Wilson denounced it as the "acrid outpouring
of a disappointed, bad man, who has dis
trubed the country for years." Mr. Conners
would not let it pass "without noting the ex
traordinary offensiveness of this extraordinary
message." The motion to dispense with the
reading being withdrawn, Mr. Cameron re
newed it, denying the President's right to
lecture the Senate, and the propriety of the
Senate's allowing itself to be insulted and
made "the channel through which to present
to the public his misrepresentations and un
truths." Mr. Drake forbearingly Suggested
that he had got used to being kicked by Mr.
-Johnson, and did not mind it. Mr. Howe
did not believe that the Constitution required
the Senate to sit and hear such language ad
dressed to it, and finally the Senate adjourned
without hearing the Message read.
There will be a difference of opinion as to
the precise method in which Congress should
have met this last onslaught of that "disap
pointed, bad man," Andrew Johnson. Tioat
difference manifested itself in yesterday's de
bates. - But there will be no difference among
right-minded people, as to the indecent pro
priety of the document itself. It is unques
tionably disgraceful, but it only disgraces the
writer. Mr. Washburne was wrong in saying
that it disgraces the American people. The
people have so emphatically and so re
, peatedly repudiated Andrew Johnson, that
they can no longer be held responsible for
his misconduct. The opportunity was afforded
to him at this thrte,to make some amends for
his past misdeeds, by a graceful ackno wledg
- ment that the popular verdict had been re
corded against him. But gracefulness is not
an attribute of Andrew Johnson, and so he
goes down, showing his teeth and snarling
his impotent rage in the face of the represen
tatives of the, people, and so is, at. least, con
sistent Vn his obstinacy, wilfulness and
malice.
ha opening his message he pronounces this
remarkable stLderce upon himself : "Tue
legislator or .ru!er who has the wisdom and
.magnanimity to retrace his steps, when con
vinced of error, will sooner or later be re
warded with the respect and gratitude of an
. intelligent and patriotic people." If this be
the reward of the wise and magnanimous
ruler...who retraces his wrong steps, what
, shall be the doom which history pronounces
upon• the. foolish and ignoble ruler, who per
sists m his evil courses, to the end of his
'days?
IMO EIMA OF IBOEVI rar.
Yesterday the readers of the EVENING Bus.-
,Lirrin,Nad,presented to them, in addition to
the ordinary news of the day and miseellane
.OUß reading, no less than thirty-seven col
-limns of President's Message and aceanapa
:ruing documents. It was a heavy job to out
'these in type, and, we fear, a heavier job to
read them. But-the inexorable convention-
It-lilies of piss and people require this annual
to upon publishers and outride, and there is
•lio evading it by newspapers that pretend to
enterprise. In old times, when President's
Imesaage2 were shorter, publishers used to feel
St liberty to print them by instalments, one
or two columns at a tirale, "to be continued"
,like a-sensational story. But now everything
ro'^.; is In de nded at ` Once, and in " - a complete

made Ibirty-oevpn c,olomns, some of which
might have been filled with:livelier reading.
In apologizing to our readers for this
enormous tax upon their patience,We venture
toot:fel..them an assurance that it will not be
repeated. There is reason to believe that
President Grant's inauguration will be the
beginnnbag of an.itra of short speeches, short
Messages and short departmental - reports.
The most speechless of public men in the nor- -
don has just been rewarded with the nation's
highest gift. All the windy orators of the
country have been passed by, ha order' that ,
the country might honor the man whose ac- •
tions speak londer__thaAT words. The elo
queue° of silerice has been appreciated by the
people, and now even the politicians and pro
fessional orators of meetings and dinner tables
are beginning to see that they have been en
dured rather than admired. Even Andrew
Johnson, if he could , see how few
- people waste time — in - reading - hilt metioagm
would feel that he had wasted lungs,langusge
' and labor - in the'many long but vain efforts_
be has made to win the public affection dar—
ing the last four years. Ten words from
Grant are worth a million from Johnson.
People are - bored by long messaged, long
speeches, long reports and long editorials.
The new age is one , of action, not of words,
and if Grant's example of lacontsm,shOnld b 0
followed by 'all Ow public men, tho *hole
people will rejoice, anti none win r ejoice ,
more than the rieWspape; owners, who are

TUE PI.I A of INSAIJITIL
The eommunityis shoelted once more by a
tragedy, the fatal nature of which his not yet
been determined, but which will probably re
sult in tie death of a mother at the hands of
het eon. This Craig matricide is alleged -to
have been attempted under the influence of
insanity, and the appearances of the case
strongly favor the theory. Should the 8011
be tried for her murder, he will be acquitted
upon this plea, and then i following the prece—
dent of the Cole ease at Albany, and the ar
gument in the Redmund Graham case, he
will be disoharged from cuitetly, to 'resume -
his studies, which are said to be the cause of
his mental aberration, and to commit some
new murder or other crime. .
The frequency with which this plea of in
sanity is being used to excuse sane persona,
and the plea of sanity, to turn insane per—
sons loose upon the community, creates an
urgent necessity that there should be some
clear understanding of this whole subject, on
the part of courts and juries, and some intel
ligent agreement of views between the legal,
j idicial and medical professions with regard
to the jurisprudence of insanity.
In New York a remarkable case has just
been determined by Judgeßutherland. Com
modore Meade was recently placed in the
Bloomingdale Asylum upon the affidavits of
his wife, his child, and one or more eminent
physicians. His wife's affidavit declares a con
dition of her husband which certainly makes
it very desirable that he should be protected
against himself and that others should be pro_
tected against bim. He goes about, according
to this affidavit, with loaded pistols in his
pockets, searching for gentlemen, by name,
whom he threatens to kill, and gives many
other evidences strongly corroborative of the
charge of insanity. But Judge Sutherland
brings Commodore Meade into court, gives
him a seat upon the bench, chats with him a
while, and then pronounces him a sane man,
and discharges him to resume his search for
the individuals against whom his animosity
has been excited and whom he has repeatedly
hreatened to kill
Now, should some such tragedy occur in
New York as Commodore Meade has threat
ened, whet would be the result? No jury
could be impanelted in America that would
not acquit him on the ground of insanity, and
a lawyer who could not clear his client upon
the affidavits which have already been made
would be a very poor advocate indeed.
We refer to these cases in order to call
attention to the remarkable confusiOn of
practice that exists in oar Courts upon this
important p .int. And yet while Graham is
killing his wife, and Craig his
mother, and Cole the man who
invades his domestic honor, and an
officer of the Navy hunts for citi
zens of New York with loaded pistols, and a
member of Congress is murdered by his son,
and a double murder and suicide are com
mitted in Rochester, there is ocrtainly great
need of a better comprehension of this plea of
insanity, and a far clearer practical definition
of both mental and emotional irresponsibility.
Nobody can possibly tell where the evil
effects.of the present loose practice may fall
peat, and therefore everybody is concerned in
the proper adjustment of a question
which so closely affects the safety
and peace of society. If Hugh
Craig has pored over his books, until
ho has stuciied his brains away, and insanely
cut his own mother's throat, he should not be
hung as a wilful criminal, but he should be
placed under the guardianship of a hospital
and'kept there, not until some sympathizing,
ignorant jury declare,in their wisdom,that he
is sane, but until educated, experienced and
competent judges of insanity, in all its subtle
forms, pronounce him qined and fit to be re
stored to liberty. The sudden multiplica
tion of these cases has awakened
a general interest in the community, and now
is the time to take such measures as will pro
tect society from the repetition of such hor
rors as those which have been lately re
corded. The •q{iiokest and most efficient
measure will be that which establishes har
mony of action and unity of judgment be-
tween the experts of the law and the experts
of medical science. An agreement at this
point will render legislation unnecessary. A
disagreement here is the cause of all the
trouble.
A. GOOD MOVE.
In accordance with the advice of the ablest
soldiers in the army, and with the expressed
wish of the influential press, the House of
Hf presentatives have voted to transfer the
Indian affairs from the Indian Bureau to the
War Department. Most of the opposition to
this movement has been bared upon the
theory that such transfer involves th'e organi
zation of a ceaseless campaign against the
savages, and endless expenditure of money
to support it. Ills true that it is desirable to
have the whole matter within the control of
the War Department while the army is
operating againet the Indians; but the ulti
mate object of the transfer is to place the
Indian affairs in the bands of honest men,
and, by proper adminiatration of them, to
put an end forever to the CatlB2)3 which pro.

The „Indian Bureirti hotbed of torn:4l
- and rascality. Its.agents are, in a great
measure, responsible for all the blood that has
been abed upon the frontier, and for the loss
of all the property that has been' destroyed.
They have cheated the savages in every_pct
Bible direction. The bounties of the Govern
ment have 'been withheld; defective goods;
and goods that were scant in weight and
measure, have been distributed; and then re
purchased for a few gallons of bad whisky;
the Indians have been robbed_of their lauds
by railroad :companies with the, consent of
the agents, who, instead of caring for the in
terests of the savages, and' doing all in their
Power to keep them in a peaceful attitude to
warde the 'United States, have,leagued them
selves With sharpers of all' descriptions, and
robbed their dependents witithut , soruple - and
with perfect recklessness of conimunenees.
To the action -of_ these men-can-bn traced
nearly all the Indiandifficulties ef late years.
It has been a costly bisiness for ee ) turd it is
about time a change was made.
The Indian Bureau % ieth to lime' the rich
spills, ha% fetOtbitterly against the - transfer,
arm hart neglected no opportunity to misrep
resent the situation of affairs. An' Illustration
of the bad spirit of _RS offiterniiii given in the
'recent attempt to bring discredit upon Gee.:
eral Ouster's victory over Black lKettle's band.
At first he Bureau denied the Whole story,
although It had been made the subject of
official despatches, both by General Sheridan
and General Custer.. :When abatird false
hood would no longer answer ' another was
invented, and the people , were informed that
Custer had captured and slaughtered, a band
of friendlyindians, and ren2oved,farther than
ever, the prospeet of peace. The petty
malice of this was harmless; but coming from
a department of the government, it was dis
graceful.
If the Senate will only second the action
of the House, we should have this den of
thieves broken up; officers of the army will
be_delegated to look after the interests of the
friendly Indians, and to distribute the_bauc
ties; and the great first cause of the troubles
upon the border will finally be; removed.
This kind of legislation is more sensible,
practical and directly to the point; than any
we.have yet had upon this subject. --The
treaty business became farcical long ago,
through the instrumentality of the Indian
agents; and Peace Commissioners which do
not represent armed authority are incapable
and helpless. The army can, at- the same
time, protect, defend, punish and treat with
the savages, and if its offleers—most impro
bably—should indulge in rascality, they can
be reached and punished with greater readi
ness than 'the agents under the present
sy stem.

Fat d Accident . at the Baldwk Ucomo-
five Works.
ONE MAN KILLED
Several Others Severely Injured
This morning about half-p_ast eight o'clock
the girders of th e now building intended fur .
Baldwin's manufactory of locomotives, at Broad
and Hamilton Atreeta, gave way, c.artaing serious
injury to several of the workmen, two of whom
have 'ince died.
The names of the injured party am Wm. Flom
in, 28 years of age, residing in Front street be
low Caltowhillstreet; James Cameron, aged 40
Sears, residing in Lybrand streer.below Vine. leg
broken; Charles Lethig, 30 years of age, residing
at Eighth - and Callowhill streets, leg fractured;
John Mariner, aged 12 years, residing at Fourth
-- arid Carpenter streets, head cut.
Lelbig, Cameron and FleMing were taken to
the hospital. Fleming died soon after being al
mitted,and the other men were suffering severely
from their injuries.
The Imaliding, a two-story structure w messures
168 by 114 feet, and the work has been con
strncted so far without mand to cost. in order
to have it secure. The accident Is supposed to
have been occasioned by the parting of one of
the ropes wed in fastening - the derrick..
At At the time of the accident four of the rafters
were upon the brick-work, and, although falling
a distance of some fifty feet, are but little
strained. The men were in the act of relieving
the ropes at the time the accident occurred, and
there was but little weight on them at the
Iltne.
The rigger in charge, Ames Cameron, has
been employed by the - nun for many years, and
is considered a very reliable hand, and in conse
quence, the oicident cannot be accounted for.
The work will be delayed for a few days - in con
sequence of the accident.
