The amiable and truth loving disposition
■of Postmaster-General Howe, if not bis fit
ness for the position he is to occupy, is clear
ly discernible in his Chicago interview.
To the question: “Are sou familiar with
the history of the starroute prosecutions ?”
He answered: “Not at all. 1 have paid no
attention to the reports of the coses as they
have run through the papers." And again:
“My family consists solely of two married
daughters. While in the Senate I made my
homo with one of them—Mrs. Totten—and
I suppose I shall find it convenient to es
tablish myself with her while I remain in
the cabinet. Her husband is Major Totten,
who is conn°el for tbo defense in the so-
called star route cases,” Major Totten will
be able to inform his father-in-law, the
Postmaster-General, about the “so called
star route cases," and in his fallow mind
the attorney of Brady and associates may
be carofnl to plant seeds which would not
grow in James’ soil.

WasuixgtoS', January 5.—Counsel for
the defense in the Gnltcau case will pre
sent their law points to Judge Cox to
morrow morning. His honor will rale
upon them Saturday morning Immediate
ly after the opening of court. Davidge
will then make the opening argument for
the prosecution, which will probably oc
cupy the entire day. Scoville will reply
for the defense on Monday, and will be
followed by Reed and Guiteau, who will
be permitted to address the jury if he de
sires to do so. Judge Porter will make
the closing argument to the jury. Sco
ville remaked this morning that he did
not think the argument would consume
more than four days. If this expectation
is realized the case will probably go to the
jury not later than Thursday next.
Washington, January 5.—Senator
Sewell, of New Jersey, has laid before
President Arthur a letter from Fitz John
Poiter to himself, calling attention to his
appeal for vindication, and asking the
good offices of Senator Sewell in the mat
ter. With Porter’s letter Is one from Gen.
Grant to the President, in which Grant
says he has recently read carefully the
testimony in the Porter courts of inquiry,
and has given the matter much thought
and careful consideration, and as a result
has become convinced he has, for nine
teen years, been doing injustice to a
gallant, efficient soldier, and now feels it
incumbent upon him to do all In his pow
er to repair the injustice. Grant feels
more strongly because, he says, daring the
time lie was general of the army it lay in
Ids power to procure for Porter the hear
ing wLlch he only obtained at a later
period, and while President it was at any
time in liU power to have ordered such a
hearing. Graut here goes on to say:
“In justification for my injustice to
General Porter, I can only state that
shoitly after the war closed his defense
was called to my attention, bat I read it
in connection with a sketch of the held
where his oflenses were said to have been
committed which I now sec, since perfect
maps have been made by the engineers of
the department of the whole field, were
totally incorrect as showing the position
of the two armies. I had read it ill con
nection with the statement on the other
side against Porter, and I am afraid, pos
sibly, with some little prejudice in
the case, although General Porter
was a man whom I personally knew and
liked before, hut I gut the impression,
with many others, that there was a half
hearted supportof Gen. Pope iu his cam-
laigns, and that Gen. Porter, while possi-
ily not more guilty than others, happened
to be placed in a position where lie could
he made responsible for his indifference,
and that the punishment was not a severe
one for such an offense. I am now con
vinced that he rendered faithful, efficient
and intelligent service, aud the fact that
he was retained In command of his corps
for months after his offenses were said to
have been committed is iu his favor.
“What I would askin. General Porter’s
behalf from ycu is that, if you can possi
bly g've the time, that you give the sub
ject the same study and thought that I
have givon it, and then act as your Judg
ment may dictate. But, feeliog that you
will not have time for such an investiga
tion (for it would take several days’ time)
I would ask that the whole matter be re
ferred to the Attorney-Ueneral for his ex
amination and opinion.
“Hoping that you will be able* to do
this much for an officer who has suffered
for nineteen years a punishment. that
never should be inflicted upon any but
the most guilty, I am very truly yours,
“U. S. Grant.”
Among the papers ^submitted is a letter
from General Terry, who wa3 a member
of the Schofield board of inquiry, in reply
to one from Porter conveying thanks for
his action as a member of that board, in
which Terry says: “I write now to say
that it is not thanks but pardon which I
should ask from yon. For years I did you
wrong in thought, and sometimes in
speech. It is true that this was through
ignorance, but I had no right to be so ig
norant. I might have learned something,
at least, of the truth, bad I diligently
sought it. If you find anything in my ac
tion as a member of the board wblcn you
can accept as an atonement for the wrong
which I did, I shall be more than grati
fied. With great respect and Admiration,
I am yours, most sincerely,

Brown, fearing that a gieat crowd from
Ashland woulu prevent a hearing of the
cases of the Gibbons family murderers,

tachment of the Maysvillc Guards milita
ry company, 75 in number, provided
with arms, touched here for coal at 5:30
p. ra. George Ellis, when interviewed,
reiterated wliat he lias already confessed,
not differing from what has been reported
by the Associated Press. He still claims
that Lis share in the murder was only
that of an unwilling witness. The
steamer Hudson, with the militia, met
e Mountain Bay at Tiverton, twelve
miles above here, and transferred the
Maysville Guards to the MomStain Boy.
The Mountain Girl, a mile or 'two at be
rime, abandoned the pursuit on learning

the utmost effoits of the civil and military
officers to keep the immense crowd from
rushing on the boat.

to be due, no charge of repudiation can be
laid at the door of the people of this com-
‘ monwealth. As to the rate of interest
which can and should be paid on tbe prin

Governor says all parties in the State are
agreed that the present rate of taxation
cannot be Increased, and that careful.esti
mates establish tbe proposition that 3 per

Governor continues: “We are supported
in this conclusion not only by'the finan
cial experience of many years, but also by
the fast that tbe proposed interest is as
great as the average rate paid by the debt
or class of the world on public securities
at the present day.”

A Letter From General Johnston.

“To f/.e Editor of the Post—Sib:
Wlien the article headed ‘General John

to the editor that the conversation

accused Mr. Davis of appropriating the
Confederate funds carried through North
Carolina, I write to deny the charge. I
did not use the language imputed to me.
What 1 did say was that the President
ought to have accounted for that money.'
It is a well-known practice in this and all
other civilized countries, that those hav
ing the disposal of public funds shall ac
count for them. What I said on that oc
casion was in an accidental conversation
with one whom I considered above the
class of interviewers. Tlierefcre, I had
no fear of the publication ol what I might
say, and said a good deal that nothing
could induce inc to say for publication,
especially on the subject of the lands at
Greensboro. That part of tbe conversa
tion was in connection with tbe subject of
an application, twice made by me, that
part of that money should be paid to the
army I then commanded in North Caro
lina, which had received no real pay for
many months.

I wish you to understand, sir, that I have

Quirinal, m which he states that In Ms

promote the meeting of a congress of the

guarantees of the independence of the
Holy 'See stronger and more effectual
than at present. Tbo telegram adds
“Russia, Austria, Germany, England and

When the House met at nooa to-day
the number of spectators in the galleries

Jleere pwrified aftd
indulgence to announce that it is my pur
pose at an early day to introduce for con
sideration and action a proposition to
change tbe method of selecting the com
mittees. The VMt and diversified inter
ests of tha country are all more or less af
fected by Congressional legislation, and
this legislation, as is well known, is
almost exclusively controlled by
tbe action of the committees.
For this reason their formation assumes
importance, and is invested with a respon
sibility too great to rest In the hands of a
single individual, however capable, hon
est and patriotic such an individual may
be. As now exercised it Is emphatically
a one-man power, and such power is al
ways dangerous and in conflict with tbe
principles of republican government. It
is our duty to see that it may not at some
future period be used to tbe detriment cf
tbo best interests of the people. And now
as to the question of privilege: You
have seen fit, sir, to assign me to three
committees, namely, the second place on
the foreign affairs, tbe second place on
rales, and chairman of the committee on
civil service reform. By the kindness
and unwavering confidence of my
constituents,' I have been for twelve
years a member of this House,
and I am now entering on my seventh
term of sen-ice here. With two excep
tions, there is not another Republican
member who has thus long represented
his people. During 'that time 1 have
served as a member and m chairman of
tbe committee on private land claims, m
a member of the committee on ways and
means and for ten years m a member of
tbe committee ou foreign affairs—-a part
ol such time as Its chairman. With one
exception—possibly two—I am the only
Republican member who at any time
prior to this session has ever served m
chairman of any committee of this House.
In view of this fact I submit that" the
Speaker in his recent action Iim none an
injustice to me and my constituents. For
this injustice there Is, .however, no rem
edy. All that can be done is to protest
against it, as I now do for myself and my
constituents, and for reasons so apparent
as not to require specification. I respect
fully ask the House to excuse me from
service as a member of the committee on
rules.”
The Speaker—“The chair does not utre
deratand that it is necessary for him to
vindicate himself by saying anything in
reply. It must not, however, be inferred
because the chair does not undertake to
challenge any of the statements chaining
him with injustice that tbe chair acqui
esces in tbe views taken by the gentle
man from Indiana.”
Mr. Orth’s request was granted, and he
was excused from further service on the
committee ou rules.
The regular order, being the call of the
committees, was dispensed with.
_ A resolution was ofleredby Mr. Gibson,
of Louisiana, amending tbe rules Mto
the committee on Mississippi levees. It
gives the committee on Mississippi levees
the power to originate appropriation bills
relative to tbo improvement of tbe Missis
sippi river.
- Mr. Hewitt offered a resolution recltlui
the fact that the Khedive of Egypt bai
presented to the United States an obelisk
known as “Cleopatra’s Needle,” and ten
dering to his Highness tbe Khedive tbe
thanks of the people of the United States
for the gift, which only the oldest of na
tions could make and the youngest could
most highly prize. Adopted.
A long and desultory discussion sprang
up as to the power of members to intro
duce bills through the petition box, in
stead of presenting them in the open
House, those holding the affirmative of
the proposition making a strong point in
showing that the practice of introducing
bills in that maimer wonld result In a
large saving of time, the opponents of the
proposition calling attention to tbe dan
ger there would.be of a wrong reference
of bills. The discussion wm final) v closed
with an expression of cpintyn from the
chair that only to get a bill properly be
fore a committee was to present it in the
open House. The House, at 1:40, ad
journed till Monday.
Washington, January 0.—In the Sen
ate, the President pro tem., Mr. Davis, a
few minutes after the Mscmbling of the
Senate, vacated the chair for the day to
Mr. Garland. A number of resolntions
were introduced and referred. Among
them were the following: By Mr.Maxey,
instructing the Secretary of the Interior to
furnish the report, if any, of the survey of
the United States and TexM Boundary
Commission, made under the act of June
i, 1858, and if no final report of said com
mission wm made, lie will report that
fact, together with maps, surveys and a
report of tliC»work so far as it was prose
cuted. He explained that the purpose of
the act of 1658 wm to ascertain the true
north Texas boundary; that is to My,
what is the main Red river line Mlaid
down on the Mellish map of January 1,
1818, by which the boundary line wm
fixed between the United States and
Mexico, under the treaty of 1828.
Tbe work of the commission showed
nothing definite on the point. TexM
claimed the north fork and tbe Interior
Department tbe sonth fork of the Red
river to be the true Red river according to
the Mellish map. Tho resolution wm
adopted.
By Mr. Jones, of Florida, calling on tbe
Secretary of the Interior for information
relating to tbe selection of swamp lands
ciuse of the absence of Senators interest
ed in them.
The resolution of December 13th, of
fered by Mr. Davis, of West Virginia, "re
lating to pension frauds, calling for state
ments of tbelr nature and character, what
amount of arrears lias been paid, tbe
number of cases added to the pension roll
under the ’ alters act, etc., next came
up. Some discussion ensued upon tbe
amendment by Mr. Edmunds, striking
out tbe direction to the Secretary of the
Interior to report his opinion upon such
legislation as be thought Advisable. Fi
nally the resolution, as nullified by Mr.
Edmunds’ amendment, wm adopted.
The Seuate at 1:45 p. m. went into ex

til Monday. ^
A Letter From Ex.poetmMter.GeM-

Washington, January 6.—The Presi
dent sent to the Senate to-day tbe follow
ing letter from the late PostmMter-Gen-
eral wiUi regard to the responsibility of

amPcoutracts for mail service during.tbe
last fouryears:
“Post-Office Department, Washington,
January 3, 1882.—Sut: I haver tbe honor
to transmit herewith a letter from Hon.
George Bliss, special ceunsel of tbe Uni
ted States for the prosecution of the star
route cases, and a report of Inspectors
Tydball and Shallcross, detailing the re
sult of a most careful examination into
the responsibility of sureties upon bonds
accompanying bids and contracts for mail
service duiing tbe last four years. This
report seems to show conclusively
that there have been imposed
upon tbe Post-office Department not less
than IS,009 bonds, tbe sureties upon
which were, with perhaps a few excep
tions, utterly worthless, and were known
to tbe parties who presented them to be
worthless. There is reason to believe
that the same parties will present a large
number of proposals at the letting of
mail contracts west cf tbe Mississippi
river which is to take place on tbe 7th
of this month, and I am advised that tbe
Postmaster-General would have no au
thority to reject such ( bids
if regular " in form, 'while
it is impossible to properly
investigate the responsibility of sureties
before tbe time when contracts must be
awarded? Under these circumstances it

Congreas should be flailed to this con
dition of tbe law and a change be made
by which some power may be vested in
tbe department to debar from bidding
persons wbo have hitherto been engaged
in such practices. As, iu order to make the
•'remedy effective at the next bidding, im
mediate action upon tbe part of Congress
will be required, I call your attention to
the matter instead of leavlogit to my suc

Immediately $1,000, tbe amount of tbe

also agrees to take bis chances of waiting
one month or twenty years for the con
summation of tbe bargain on Guiteau's
part. This somewhat liberal proposition
WM submitted to Guiteau to-day, and
seemed to impress him quitely favorably.
After reflecting a moment, he sug
gested : “I think I ought to
bring more than that. Perhaps
some other fellow will offer $2,000. Then
I can pay my debts, and if I have to get a
new trial thirt miserable Corkbill can’t
bring on a lot of fellswa just to swear bow

The only persons admitted to the pris
oner’* cell to-day were J. W. Guiteau, his
brother, aud a friend who accompanied
him. The brothers held a long confer
ence in an effort to arrange the order ot
arguments to be made before the jury.

he says, at this late stage jeopardize bis

Washington, January g—“None {»'
members of the bar, members of tbe
press and those who are engaged upon
thiscaso will be admitted to day,” was tbe
announcement at tbe outer doors of tbe
court room this morning. Every avenue
to the court room wm carefully guarded,
and even the policemen on duty announced
that the day would be one of unusual ira
portauce in the prog! esa of the trial. A
number of ladies succeeded in persuading
Marshal Henry to believe that they were
either members of the bar or the press—
at leMt such would be the natural infer
ence, m tho Beats reserved for the legal
fraternity were quickly filled with ladies.
There' wm a fair representation of the
bar, though by far the greater part of the
audience wm made up from the gentler
sex. The court room was filled, and with
probably the best representative audience
siuce the opening cf tbe trial in point ot
standing and intelligence.
Mr. Davidge opened tbe argument
upon the legal points, and. wm followed
with the closest attention. Tbe jury were
told by the judge that they might'be ex
cused for tbe day, but they preferred to
remain and hear the arguments.
Tbe prisoner assured Ida counsel that
he would not Mk to take part in the legal
arguments to-day, but he should Insist up
on making any comments be might deem
necessary to set them right on either side.
As the argument progressed, Guiteau
pretended to read a letter, hut in reality fol-
lowaFDavidge with tho closest attention.
The few interruptions which he made
were unnoticed by counsel save when
Guiteau called out: “I didn’t know the
difference betwMn right and wrong. Z
bad no choice. If I lisa I would not have
done it.” To this Davidge replied: “We
will come to that by and by.”
The first sensation of the day WMCaused
by reading? Judge Davis’, (ol New York,)
charge to the jury in the Coleman murder
CMe. Judge Porter relieved Davidge, and
read from a newspaper slip. Scoville,
with some impatience, objected to any
more such dramatic efforts on tbe part of
Judge Porter, intruded for effect upon the
Jury, and insisted that he (Porter) might
as well read a stump speech to tbe jury;
that he (Porter) knew that it had no bear
ing on tbe case.
“Of course he knew It,” shouted Gui
teau, “and mere than that tbe jury decided
the case directly against tho charge of the
court.” Judge Porter repelled such in-
timatiou, aud insisted -that this farce
which had so iong been enacted by the
couusel for tbe defense must now stop. If
not rebuked by the court it would be
by others. Judge Cox ended tbo dispute
by saying the matter read wm undoubt-’
edly authoritative, and its applicability
to the case could be commented upon by
counsel at the proper time. As Ds-
vidge resumed, Gniteau again shouted: “I
want to get this thing right before the
jury. Every one knows all about that
Coleman case. Tbe jury gave a verdict
against the charge, aud this prose
cution know it well.” The effect was
electrical when Davidge, in a moat deliber
ate and earnest manner, said: “Your
Honor, this man wm for three weeks
held up to us m an imbecile,and now listen
to him 1 He not only knows the difference
between right and wrong, bat understands
tally the law of the case.”
Guiteau— 1 “Transitory mania!" That’s
my case. I don’t pretend I am insane
now. I’ve’xs good a head m you or Por
ter either. Scoville is a fool though, and
I repudiate him and his whole theory of
defense. All 1 want is two lioura before
that jury and I can set his theory all
right.”
The scene was a lively one for a few
minutes, when Judge Cox rapped for
order, and soon Guiteau subsided snd
Davidge continued without further inter
ruption to the end of his argument.
Lcl. Reid addressed the court in reply
to Judge Davidge, and confined his argu-
ment to the consideration of two ques
tions—first, tbe definition laid down in
•tbe revised sratutes of murder aud man
slaughter, under which if malice be not
proven he contended the crime would be
manslaughter; and, second, the applica
tion to this case of the question 0 f reason
able doubts iu connection with the plea of
insanity. Col. Reid concluded at 2:1
with a peroration, in which figured i
glowing allusion to the latitude of doubt
aud tbe far-reaching impartiality of law
under our free institutions.
Mr. Scoville, upon being informed by
tbe conrt that tbe prosecution were
entitled to the opening and cioticg
where both parties prayed instructions,
called attention to tbe tact that tbe proa
ecution liad made one argument to which
tbe jury had listened this morning, and
would have the same advantage Monday,
while tbe defense must be contented to
discuss these questions in their absence
A lively and somewhat jsarcMtlc discus
sion between-counsel ensued. The court
did hot believe that any reflection upon
tbe prosecution wm intended by Scoville,
and put an end to tbe dispate by telling
Scoville to proceed with bis argument.
Scoville criticised severely ih* course of
Judge Davis (in tbe New York case just
cited), in goiog out* of bis way, m be
(Scoville) Mid, to render a decision that
might be made use of in tbe trial of Gni
teau.
“Yes,” called out tbe prisoner, “and
the jury in that ease went out of their
way to rebuke Judge' Davis.”
Scoville had not concluded his argu
raent at 3 o’clock, and tbe court adjourned
until Monday.
