The BK.S K. Ill'SSElL, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9,1862. Wn fk llr ftAmAFni ' Guiteau Analyzed- I? vUilIJ 1/Uiilvll fl! * “Mr. Davidge, how do yon analyze —■■ , Guitcaa’s condition when he resolved Editor ond Pr>pr j Qn ^ mardef ?’ ‘ I think he was davcd, dazz’ed, in tensely impressed with the bitterness he saw prevailing in hi3 party, and he said directly there will be a pitched battle here. New, that will just suit me, and I will begin it. I thiak. with Just wait until Ren Ilill lakes the fobs' exalted temperament and egotism, Independent movement by the slack of | !jc thought he would go in at the its breeches. ; beginning and do the big thing, and The Chicago ^Tribune has it that then his want of moral stamina led him Guitoau will hang. The 30th of next June is the day set aside for his demise. 5.000 people listened to Dr. Felton’s speech in Augusta. The 4th of July would be a good day to hang Guitcau. Can’t Judge Cox change his programme. The - Gaificid monument fund at Cleveland accumulates slowly, hut has reached very nearly ?1,000,000. Thomasville is to have a May fair, under the auspecies of the Stock Breed er’s Association. Bainbridge will go over. THE GUITEAU VERDICT- It is stated on good authority that Wiloy Redding the notorious negro outlaw was shot and killed at Fairburn the other day. Some of our exchanges, it seems, are determined to have Tilden in the next Presidential contest. The old Roman don’t want it. All the boys jue putting in a good word for Henry McIntosh and Arch Miller the new daddies of the Albany News and Advertises. Thomasville wants the next governor and lion. A. F. McIntyre is her favor ite. Wo have uo objection. Ring up the curtain, Triplett, and let the over ture commence. The elder Rothschild, William fl. Vanderbiit, James W. Mackey, Jay Gould, ex-Cover nor Crocker and C. P. Huntington are believed to be the six wealthiest men in the world. Albany has a tough time with her -artesiau well. While the boring of that new one is going on suppose friend Willingham discontinues h,s boring on that lino. You can leave the heading —“C) ar Artesian Wcli”—standing un til the concern is finished. “3hoof,” the Atlanta Correspondent of the Savannah News thinks that Alec Stephens should be the next Governor of Georgia. Little Alec is too ould and feeble. Ilis great mental powers, crip pled by age and sickness, are unfit for active service. The proposition is made, and is being actually considered at Washington, to appeal to Congress for an appropriation of $12,009 to give each juror iu the Guiteau case §1,000. Just how such an expenditure could be justified we are unable to see, unless it be that a just act on the part of a Washing ton jury deserves reward “Sanator Brown has at last introduced a bill in the U. S. Senate which should” says the Quitman Free Press ‘-immor talize him if nothing else does. It is to give every Stnator a clerk at a salary of $1,200, the same to be paid by the government. This man, worth half a million and receiving a salary of five thousand dollars, wants the government to furnish him a clerk at the cost of $1,200 per annum. If this aint cheek you needn’t go to government mule to find it. Wc arc happy to inform our readme that both the sensible republi cans and Democrats in Congress will set down on Mr. Brown’s bill. This is a fair sample of what your Uncle Joe is doing for you in Congress. Wo suggested last week that Hon. W. E. Smith, of Albany would make an excellent Governor and the News and Advertiser endorses that suggestion thusly : <l So far as the News and Adver tiser is able to say, Capt, Smith is not, like many other prominent Georgians, | who are far less competent and worthy than himself, thirsting for Gubernato- to believe he would be rewarded by the element he would bring into power. There is nothing in that to show in sanity. Every criminal is deceived in the results of his crime. The burglar who works very hard to get into a house or a safe gets little or nothing for his pains; compared to his investment. If he does not go to the penitentiary he becomes the tool of those who know of the crime. We would punish nobody il this want of discernment of the re* suits of crime constituted insanity. Things did not turn out as Guiteau ex pected, nor is any correct in estimating the consequences of his crime. Every man who murders sees a sure escape for him. Now the excitement between the two Republican factions was in deed remarkable. I recollect, before this murder was committed, that I was playing with my children on my grass lawn one evening in Summer, thinking about the strife up her? in the Senate. I suddenly said to myself^ ‘Groat God! there is but one life between th 'Se two factions!’ There I stopped, rather appalled that such a thought should come info my mind. It was but a little while afterward that the President was piitrdered.” ‘•Da you think. Mr. Davidge, that he was well defended ?” “No; Mr. Scoviile is a cunning, scheming mao, with no breadth, and with but slight idea of the motive and arguments which influence other men. From the beginning to the end. his idea was to confuse the minds of the jury, and not by any one train of rea soning, but by presenting a scattered assemblage of small facts, t» get them embarrassed as to insanity.” “You indicated, Mr. Davidge, that he had a better line of dofenso than heriditary insanity 7” “Yes. I think the result, however, would have been the same with the jury. I think a Washington jury would have convicted Guitcau anyhow. But there was opportunity for a new departure, and a really novel argument in such a murder. If the defense had sbywn that this man’s structure was so delicate and irresponsible that in the storms of party passion, which left other men erect, he was thrown down and carried away, they might have left him with a little dignity, at least.” “Do you tbiuk this conviction will be of benefit to the Government and morals ?” “Unquestionably. This city is pe culiar. It’s constituency has no fixed public opinion. Wc are full of cranks here—odd people, many disappointed, others egotistical, some presuming, many of them dangerous. This verdict establishes in the minds of such men the certainty of punishment if they understand the course of history ?” “What do you think of the jury ?” “Well, we have the. best juries here that any city in this country can pro duce. There is a higher order of in telligence among the people of Wash ington than any place I know of. It is not book education, as in many of the New England towns. It is obscr- vasion—a certain degree of intercourse with men who come here to direct events. No man can get into Congress unless he has some ability, of whatevei kind it may be. In these boarding houses and in various ways our people have rubbed against these men. This being the seat of law, they have pretyt clear national notions of law.” Pensacola’s Progress.

' Disgraceful Procee dings at the Detroit Opera House- Detroit, Jan. 26.—Quite an excite ment was stirred np at the Opera House last night when Hen-man, the magiciaD, was exhibiting. Between the perform ances, the result of the Guitcau trial was announced, when the audience at once brode into loud applauses. Iu the midst of the noise a hiss from the gal lery was heard. As soon as the signs of approbation had subsided a little, the hiss became more audible, and there were cries of condemnation. A special officer instantly discovered the man who was hissing, and stepping down the steep aisle advised him to desist. This attracted attention to him, and before the officer could get him out of the theatre a crowd of men and boys near by pitched on the offender, and the fel low was badly cut and .bruised by his patriotic assailants and removed with great difficulty. He managed to help himself as soon as put outside the building. “This thing,” says the’ Columbus Enquirer-Sun, “is getting a little mixed and it will take a dozen Philadelphia lawyers to straighten it if the foolishness is not stopped. There is the Felton independents, the Longstreet coalition, the Arthur ultimatum, the Pledger branch and the simon-pure republicans —all against the bourborn democracy. And now comes the New York Globe edited by John Quarles, formerly a Georgia republican, who says : “The republicans and liberals of Georgia threaten a coalition. As a conciliatory move, it is reported that W. A. Pledger, the colored chairman of the central committee, has been thrown overboard. This is a bad way to begin a coalition that must find the tower of its strength in the colored vote. The liberal white man who ob jects to having a colored chairman of a committee had better remain in the ranks of the bourborn democracy. If the colored people of Georgia are to be simply the tools of the proposed coali tion they had better remain as they are—a political nothing.” Such snarls as the above make us ap prehensive that the Markham House conferees will not be able to deliver all the goods which they contracted to put. into the joint stock. St. Louis belles complain that the contemplated adornment of nv-sculiue calve3 at la Oscar Wilde, is calculated to work irreparable injury to the daz zling eff.-cts of female finery. 11 is not clear, however, to pur prudish intellect how the expose of masniline knee breeches and spangled tights can pos sibly conflict with the visible costuming of a reasonably modest young lady. The ladies will still retain the inalien ably privilege of ilia (lo.i licte, and lo secure the powerful effect of a Grecian statue it wU only be necessary to blend the belle and her cavalier in the coming full dress of the period. Purest Drugs' Some one called the yaukee a walk ing note of interrogation, because he was always asking questions. But John Bull is truly a eot of quotation marks, for he says and does everything because some great English authority has said or done it. The Frenchman may be likened to an exolamatiou point, for he is admiring or wondering at something, and the Spaniard to a pa* renthis, for his acts and words can be left out of the present history of the world without injury to the sense. Spuing field, Rcbektsox Co.. Tenx., November 27, 1880- Dk. J. Brvpfield—Sir: My daughter has been suffering for many years with that dreadful affliction known as Female Disease, which has cost roe many, dollars, and not withstanding I had the best medical attend ance, could not find relief. I have used many other kinds of medicine without any effect. I had jur.t about given her up, was out of heart, l*ut happened in the store of W, W. Eekler several weeks since, and he knows of my daughter’s affliction pursuaded we to try a bottle of ycur Female Regulator. She berpin to improve at once. I was so de lighted with its effect that 1 bought several move bottles. The price, SI .50 a bottle, seemed to he very high at first, hut I now think it the cheapest preparation on the globe and knowing what I do about it, if to-day one of my. family was suffering wilh that awful disease I w.iulu have it if it cost $50 a bottle, for I can truthfully say it has cured my daughter sound and well, and myself and wife do most, heartily recommend your Fe male Regulator to be jnst what it is recom mended to be.
