THE FEDERAL CONGRESS. THE GUITEAU TRIAL.
(CONTINUED FBOM FISST PAGE.]
Senator Brown reviewed our legisla
tion on the silver question, showing its
unfriendly character and contending that,
while silver had not been able to with
stand it, gold would not have y.ood it any
belter, if the assault bad been unade
upon that metal. As to wbat shall be tbo
ratio of equivalents, lie thought the
French standard was about the true one,
and one upon which France wfluid be
willing to stand with tbe'United States.
Controverting the assumption upon which,
ho said, tho Secretary of the Treasury bad
based his recommendation for ’ stopping
silver coinage, that if this; was not dono
gold would flow from the United States
and silvei would take its place, and we
would be reduced in the commercial
world to tho level of minor and less civil
ized natters, Mt. Brown ar
gued to sliow that wc had
tired the rati* between tlie two tuctals
higher than bad been lixed by other com
mercial powers (ours being 10 to 1 while
most of the c- mmercUl nations adopt
15‘ a to 1 and Gi-< many 14 to 1), and that
practically the - try reverse of* flow of
gold from and s'l .or to ilie United Stales
would be the re*: It of a fiee coinage of
silver. He quot* d from distinguish finan
ciers in gold and stiver mono-mctallism
and bi-metallism, who discorded tbo theo
ry of tbesccretary, and went on to den
onstrate that the facts also were In the
very teeth of hi* theory. As the great sil
rer-producing power,we are acting against
ourown iuteicst in reeking to depreciate
tho value of this product and in Joining
with Germany and Great Britain in giv
ing to gold alone the namo and import
ance of money.
In favoring greenback redemption at
par in coin, Mr. Brown said he was op
posed to the idea of one currency for the
bondholders and another fur the people,
and that the full measure of bis rights
and equities entitled the bondholder, un
der his contract, to payment in silver dol
lars of the ataudard of 1870, which was
412i grains. As to the proposed with
drawal of silver certificates, he argued
that these funiisltcd a better currency
titan would the bank bills which, as he
understood the propositions of the Presi
dent and Secretary of the Treasury, it
was proposed to substitute for
the certificates. The banks would
be under no compulsion to issue
new bjlls to tako the place of the certifi
cates, and if they were si disposed could
contract the present volume of the cur
rency fifty millions or more. A worse
currency would thus bo substituted for a
better, as the certificates were always
redeemable promptly in legal tender dol
lars, while bank bills, in the case of bank
failures, are not promptly redeemable,
though they are ultimately redeemed by
retaining stiver certificates.
At 2:23 Mr. Brown concluded, and his
iftloa went over without action,
he Senate then resumed the consider
ation of the Sherman funding bill.' Mr.
Morgan opposed the bill. lie said lie was
entirely satisfied or the ability of tho gov
ernment to pay the 8350,000,000 of Win-
dom continued bonds in eleven years
without drawing one cent from the surplus
revenues, and presented figures in illus
tration. He also gave figures showing
the respective totals of the appropriations
necessary to extinguish tlie whole debt in
five, twenty anl thirty equal installments.
He was in favor of using the surplus
to extinguish tbo debt at the ra'.e of $100,-
000,000 per annum. Commenting upon
the avowal which he said had been made
J>y some Senators in the debate of post
poning the payment of part of tlie public
debt, and tiius continuing the dffot indefi
nitely in order to perpetuate the national
banking system, be spoke of the incubus
of tlie bank power, which having been
created In a moment ot folly,
was now making its weight upon
the government felt. He referred to the
exclusiveness of tlie system iu limiting tlie
basis of baoking to bonds of the govern
ment, to the value of the franchise en
joyed by the banks by reason of their cir
culation being founded upon the credit
and strength of the government, and to
tbeir apparent intention to continue busi
ness upon from $500,000,000 to $1,000,000,-
000 of the bonds, lie then suggested, os
a means of avoiding the continuance of
this system indefinitely, that the govern
ment should cease paying interest on se
curities held by it for the redemption of
circulation, and further, the substitution'
iu tbeir stead from-time to time of State
bonds of undoubted security as collateral,
these being taken at fifty cents ou the dol
lar, oral any percentage low enough to
to make the security absolutely safe.
Upon the conclusion of Mr. Morgan’s re
marks the funding bill was informally
laid aside until to-morrow.
Messages from the President were read
transmitting for the consideration of Con
gress a number of communications from
the Secretary of the Interfo-, The Sen
ate at 3:20 went into executive session,
and after a few minutes devoted to refer
ring nominations received to-day, ad
journed until to-morrow.
HOUSE.
The House proceeded as tho regular
business of the morning Lour to the call
of committees fer reports.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, from the
coinage committee, made a' report on the
subject of metric coinage. Recommitted
and ordered printed.
Mr. Willis, of Kentucky, offered a reso
lution calling on the Fresident for infor
mation as to the execution of section
1733 or the revised statutes for the pro
motion of the efficiency of the civil service,
and whether the sum of $15,000 appropri
ated for that purpose is sufficient for the
purpose. Referred.
Alter the transaction of some unimpor
tant business, the House resumed consid
eration of the report of the committee on
rules, proposing an increase in the
membership of certain committees. The
pending question was on Mr. Orth’s sub
stitute for the appointment of a board to
select the committees. Alter a long dis
cussion the question was submitted to tho
Honse, and Mr. Orth’s substitute was
raled out of order by a vote of 163 to 74.
Mr. King, of Louisiana, offered an
amendment relative to the committee on
the improvement of the Mississippi river,
providing that Itsball have the same privl-
lige iu reportiop appropriations for tlie im
provement of that river as are accorded to
the appropriation committee iu reporting
appropriations. He spoke iu support of
tbo amendment at bearing on tlie question
of cheap transportation. Mr. Drew, of
Arkansas, opposed the amendment, argu-
ing that tbo question of improving ll.e
Mississippi river belonged to the commit
tee oa commerce.
Mr. Thomas, of Illinois, advocated
the. admendmer.t, and said 'there
was lo reason why the com
mittee on commerce should have
charge of the question unless the object
was to make the appropriation for tbo
Mississippi carry through the House tlie
river and harbor appropriation bill. He
asserted that the commerce of the Missis
sippi river was twenty-five times greater
than the whole foreign commerce of the
United States, and by t ha proposed im
provements transportation would be
cheapened 33 per cent.
Mr. Thompson, of Kentucky, opposed
the amendmont.
Mr. SpriDger, of Illinois, advocated the
amendment, and appealed to Eastern
members tocive the interests of the great
Mississippi Valley the attention of the
special committee provided for in the
amendment.
Mr. Turner, of Kentucky, also advo
cated tlie amendment, and suggested that
the committee should also hare jurisdic
tion of the Obio and other navigable trib
utaries of the Mississippi.
After some further discussion, in which
Kenna, Turner, Davies, Howe and Willis
participated, the subject went over for the
day without action, and the House at 2:40
adjourned.

I By Telegraph. I
Washington, January 15.—The fol
lowing has been famished for publication:
To the New York Associated Press:
Gentlemen*: I have the honor here
with to transmit my speech. It Is a his
torical document, and I desire it sent
broadcast to tbe American nation. I am
cot-certain that Judge Cox will allow mo
to deliver it, but I send it to my country
men, and they, and the President of the
United States, if necessary, will finally
adjudicato this case. I have an encomium
on Judge Cox at the close of the speech,
which I allow to dfctnd, but I • do
not think it possible, on mature
reflection, that ho really intends
to gag me andpreveut my delivering tbe
speech. If he does his name Will go Into
lilstoiy blackened as a.gag-law man. I
atn sure that the able Chief* Justice and
bis associates, who represent tlie Wash
ington court cn banc, will spit with scorn
upon tbe position of Judge Cox, and I
am sure that the high-toned men of
tbe nation will do likewise, because I am
iny own counsel au<l it is infamous if I
am not permitted to address tbe jury when
my life is at stake. I would not trust the
best man in America to close my case. I
take no stock in Messrs. Scoville and
Reed’s theory of this defense. I removed
tho Piesident, and this speech contains my
defense, and it should be read by every
American, and I desire you to give it the
widest publicity by printing it in its en
tirety. 1 have the honor to be, yours re
spectfully. Chac. J. Guiteau,
United Staten Jail, Washington, Jan 15.
Tbe speech which accoinpautcs this
letter makes ten or twelve thousand
words, but contains very little which is
either new or important. Tbe first pnrt
of it is a mere repetition of Gniteau’s
Christmas address, which lias already
bad a wide publication. Of tbe remain
der, tho following extracts give a fair
idea. After reviewing the history of tho
conflict between tbe ctalivarts and tbe
half breeds, Guiteau says:
“Soon after Robertson’s appointment
the Republican party began to heat.
This was about tbe middle of May. By
tbe first of June it was red hot. By tbe
first of July it was white hot. If this
spirit had not been killed by tlie Presi
dent’s removal,* the nation would soon
have been in a flame of civil war. Our
late rebellion cost tbe nation nearly a mil
lion ol men and a billion of money, and
it desolated tlie hearths of the republic.
To prevent a repetition of tbi^desolation,
the removal of tbo Jato President was
necessary. By bis removal tbe Republi
can party was eemeuted and the nation
to-day is happy and prosperous. To-day
I suffer in bonds because I had the inspi
ration and nerve to remove tbe President
that the nation might live, but I expect
you, gentlemen of the jury, to remove
these bonds, to tbe end that 1 go forth a
free and vindicated ntau. This is wbat
yon are here for. I ask you to liberate
me. Tell tbe American people that you
find no evil In me, and that my insp.ra-
tion came from tho Deity, and that lie
alone is responsible for tbe President’s re
moval. I now review the case since
July 2d, and call special attention
to the acts of the DIety, whenever be lias
taken special pains to protect and confirm
to me my inspiration, to the cud that all
men may eee and seeing may believe iu
my inspiration.”
After re v.ewiug again the history of Use
weeks which immediately lire ceded tbe
assassination of tbe President and the
motives which impelled him to the mur
der, Guiteau says:
“I never had tbe slightest doubt as to
the divinity of tlie act or tbe necessity for
it. An opportunity came, X shot him on
July 2. Not being a marksman, be ling
ered until September 10, when be passed
quietly and gently away. Tbe Lord there
by continued my inspiration. There
was a special providence in his dying in
New Jersey. I undertake to say tbe Deity
a’lowed him to die there to protect me
from tbe possibility of legal liablity for
simply execatiug bis will. Should this
*ury condemn me to be bung, which is
tardly possible in view of the facts appear
ing in this trial, tho Deity l ai probably
fixed tbe law so that tbeir verdict cannot
be legally enforced. It Jis the opinion of
some of tbe atleast members of the bar
that this coart bos no jurisdiction to try
this case. This point will bo pressed if
necessary to arrest judgment. But I ex-
pect you, gentlemen of ilie jury, to justify
the act. You are here to vindicate my
inspiration. Yon are here to say that I
would not have shot the President on my
personal accouut. Tills is tbe literal truth.
Andjrow I propose to call your atten
tion to other acts of the Deity confirming
my inspiration. 1 went to tlie Baltimore
and l’atomac depot on the 2d of July and
shot the President twice. Only one ball
took effect. I would not do it agaiu for
one million dollars. It was tbe most in
sane foolhardy act possible. No one but a
madman could have done it, but I would
have done it any time after June 1st if I
bad known I was to be shot the next mo
ment. 1 bad no power to prevent it. My
free agency was entirely destroyed. I
was in duress. In law any one under du
ress is not responsible for his act. On
tliis ground I ask you to acquit me. How
do we know yon were under duress? You
have my word for it. No one else can
know this fact but the Deity and me. I
know it, the Deity knows it, and the Dei
ty has taken special pains to tints far pro
tect me. if it bj^true absolutely that
Providence and Waved the nation, why
should 1 not be a hero and tlie
equal of Washington, Lincoln and Grant!
Many people are beginning to see that
I have saved tbe nation. This trial has
developed iny motive and my inspiration,
aud to-day tlie people consider me a patri
ot and great man. The prosecution have
inado a great flourish with tbeir insane
experts. Tbe only insanity in this case
is what tbase experts call transitory ma
nia. That is tlie Abraham style of insan
ity. Thero are thirty-eight cases ol Abra-
hatnic insanity iu tbe Bible—that is of il
legal killing resulting from tbe possession
of transitory mania by divine authority.
II a single man on this jury has tbo slight
est doubt as to whether I fired that shot
on my personal account or as tbe agent of
God, bo is bound under the law to give
me tbe benefit of tbe doubt and acquit me.
The prosecution have attempted lo show
by these paid experts that 1 was uoL suf
fering from transitory mania at tbe time
I fired on the President. But wbat do
they know about it? Absolutely nothing.
Had I plenty of money I could get fifty
reputable experts to swear I was insane,
absolutely, at that time. I take no stock
in tbe shape or tbe bead, or tbo long
tongue, or in the opinion of experts on
either side of tills issue. I leave my jus
tification to God and tbe American peo
ple, and to-day, six months after tbe shot
was fired, tlie Deity- has repeatedly con
firmed tbe act, as indicated by my expe
rience as Set forth in this speech, and tbe
American people are satisfied to let this
prosecution go by default, and that is tho
way you will probably let It go.”.
Guiteau then quotes In extenso a large
number of letters which he claims to have
received from the American people,approv-
bis act, and gives extracts from tbo
prayi-rs of a number of prominent clergy-
ing men after Garfield’s death to show In
tbeir opinion it was God’s will that he
should die. Tbe address closes with a
eulogy on Judge Cox and tbe following:
“In general, lam satisfied with your
Honor’s proposed ^instructions, but I
would earnestly suggest that tbe jnry be
charged as follows: ‘That if they believe
that I believed It was right for me to re-
movo tbo President because I bad special
divine authority for so doing, they will
acquit on (be ground that I was
overpowered by tbe Deity—that is, that
I was suffering from transitory
mania. Your Honor has suggested
that tlie law of jurisdiction in this case
may lie different from what some of the
leading Washington lawyers say it is.
Should it be necessary to Lave your Hon
or pass finally ou this issue, I expect we
shall find plenty of authority to show that
your Houor has no jurisdiction. - I am
also of opinion that the court i n banc will
to decide it necessary. Tbe judiciary of
tliis District is not surpassed by that of
tbe ablest judiciary In the Union. Chief
Justice Cartter Is the peer of any juatiee
on tbe American bends, and so are his
associates.
“Now, gentlemen, I must close. Two
mouths ago you left your homes and loved
onesf-to listen to tills case. I have no
doubt but you have given it your most
j solemn and prayerful attention, and that
I your verdict will be, ‘not guilty,’ as
charged In tho indictment. Aud now,
gentlemen, I leave this case with you. *At
the last great day you and all men will
stand before the Deity cryiDg for mercy
and justice. As you act here, so be your
final abode in the great hereafter. I beg
you do not get the Deity down on you by
meddling with this case. I beg for your
own sake and for the sake of the Ameri
can people, and for the sake of genera
tions yet unborn, that you let tliis case
alone. You can’t afford to touch it. Let
your verdict be that it was tbe Deity’s act
—not mine. When tbo Preesldeut was
shot his cabinet telegraphed to
foreign nations that it was the act of
a madman, and it will be. far better
every way that it be officially decided that
it was the act of ‘a madman.’’’
GUITEAU IN* JAIL.
WASHINGTON, January 15.—Guiteau
was apparently in the best of spirits this
morning wbeu a reporter of the Associa
ted Press called at tbe jail, ‘‘I have de
cided not to sell my speech for money,”
he remarked, “but to give it tbe widest
possible citculation through the Asso
ciated Press. I want every man; woman
and child in America to have an opportu
nity to read it.” He was asked: “How
were von pleased with Mr. Reed’s speech
yesterday?”
He replied: “Well. I don’t take much
stock in Seoville’a tbeoiy or Reed’s either,
aud I should not like to trust my delenso
to cither ol them. Charlie made a good
speech, though, and it interested me, but
1 wouldn’t give a cent a bushel for that
kind of talk.” Then, after a short pause:
»1 know though, that it may he just as
well to have that go before the jury [with
a grinj. There may be some soft ■fellows
among them who will believe I’m an im
becile.”
Washington, January 10.—Tlie Court
opened at 10:10 this morniug. Mr. Sco-
villo began bis address to the jury by con
lessing bis unfamiiiarity with the inodes
of < practice in criminal cases ;
which had resulted in his making numer
ous mistakes, which had undoubtedly
militated against tho prisoner. He desir
ed, however, publicly to acknowledge and
return thanks for tbe assistance .he had
received from tbe membars of the bar
here and iu other parts of the country—
assistance cheerfully and voluntarily ren
dered, and which had very materially-
aided him in conducting the de
fense. Ail tho defense asked for
was a fair, candid, impartial
weighing ot the evidence by fair and can
did men. Counsel would attempt no or
atory, because lie was not equal to it and
because be would not do it if be could.
He would address bimselt to tbe intellect
of the jury. Oratory, eloquence and ap
peals to passions he would leave to coun
sel who would follow him (Judge Por
ter), aud he desired to warn them that in
the effort of tbe learned counsel (Judge
Porter) to expound the law, or explain the
evidence, he would invariably seek to influ
ence them through their emotions, to touch
their hearts and sway their sympathies,
rather than to convince their judgments.
The speaker dwelt upon tho seriousness
of tbe duty devolving upon the gentlemen
of the jnry iu arriving’at a fair aud im
partial verdict, aud explained the reasons
for the care and particularity observed by
the court in selecting tho [jurors. Coun
sel upon cither side would insensibly add
coloring to tho evidence to suit their par
ticular views, and though each might be
honest, yet counsel upon opposite sides
would naturally take opposite views of
the case, and listening to and reading
over the samo of evidence each would
catch points which would seem to make
for their respective sides. As a consequence,
in presenting them tothejury, tinged with
the coloring of their (counsels) precon
ceived opinion*, neither would, in reality,
present tlie whole truth.
Scoville complimented the fairness,
honesty and integrity of counsel (Mr.
Davidge) who had opened the argument
for the prosecution, and then proceeded
to show, owing to causes ho had just set
forth, how unfair, partial and dishonest
Mr. Davidgo’s comments upon and re
view of the testimony had been. Scoville
said, “I do not care to complain, although
I do not think, as counsel iu the conduct
of this case, I have been treated with fair
ness. Personally, I care nothing for it,
but when it injures tho case in which my
efforts are enlisted, then I must com
plain.”
“I hold in my hand an indictment for
conspiracy, which I have formed in mind;
and the object of this conspiracy was to
hang the pi isoner.” Mr. Scoville proceed
ed to namo the conspirators—the District
Attorney, Judge Porter, Mr. Davidge and
five of the government experts, namely,
Drs. Gray, Hamilton, Kempster, McDon
ald and Wooster. Apologizing for tlie
digression, Mr. Scoville said the habit
of newspapers of anticipating the
processes of our courts of law
and complaining against tbe tardiness of
judicial decisions is a most pernicious
one, and antagonizes the very results they
may be clamoring for. Said Mr. Scoville:
“The counts in this indictment are two in
number. First, they have perverted the
law in this case.”
Mr. Scoville, m illustration or support
of tliis count, alluded to tlie introduction
by Judge Porter of the decision of Judge
Davis. He said: “Counsel upon the
other side indignantly repudia
ted the suggestion that Judge Davis
sat with Cardoza, but I have yet to learn
of either of them ever Laving committed
a more reprehensible act than that of
Judge Davis.”
Mr- Scoville warmed up with the subject,
and decoffiiced in severe language tho
extra-judicial act of Judge Davis. Mr.Sco-
viJle continued: “When Judge Porter
comes before this jury and undertakes to
pervert the evidence, I shall not keep
quiet as I did with Davidge, but I shall
step him.”
Guiteau—“So shall I.”
Mr. Scoville—“I shall stop him, and I
shall correct him, if I find lie is misstating
the evidence. 1 ’
Guiteau—“Never mind—I’ll attend to
him.”
Judge Porter—“There will bo two GuL--
teans then to attend to me.”
Mr. Scoville at some length reviewed
those portions of Mr. Davidge’s argument
m which tbo law of tho case was stated,
and claimed that It was falsely stated in
every iustance; that it was well termed
by counsel “the Iron rule,” for It would
hang fonr-fiftbs of the iDsane criminals of
the country. “I can only express my
surprise that gentlemen of tho learning
and experience possessed by counsel for
tho urosecutlon should so state unless
there" be a willful perversion of
the facts. The prosecution state it: ‘If
the prisoner knew the act was wrong on
the 2d of July, then ho should hang.’
Now, this is not by any means tlie whole
of it or the correct statement of the law.
She court has added in substance as fol
lows, ‘Yet, if in this act he was overpow
ered by a consciousness coming through
his diseased rniud that what he was doing
was necessary for the good of the country,
and was specially approved by God, theD
you cannot convict of murder.’ ”
Continuing, Scoville said: “The second
count iu the indictment Is the perversion
of testimony. I do not know how far
Judge Porter will go, bat I will allude to
some instances In Davidge’s speech.” Sco-
vtlle proceeded to sustain tho count by
reading from Davidge’s speech and com
paring it with the testimony.
“Ob, that’s for money,” called ont
Guiteau. “He is paid for that. He don’t
believe it.”
Mr. Scovlllo contended that "'the facts
were perverted, and particularly the evi
dence as to tbe immorality of the prisoner.
“The ouly allegation,” said Mr. Scoville,
that will hold against him is that of adul
tery.”
Guiteau shouted out—“How many in
nocent people are there here in this court
room ?”aud added, “not one.” A moment
later lie callee out: “I don’t care
to libel Christian people, but J want
the record straight. 1 say hightoned
Christian men and women are virtuous,
but tbe miss of mankind u-not. Let that
go on tbe record.”
Alter the recess, Scoville proceeded to
point out to tbe jury what he termed the
perversions of evidence by Davidge, after
which the court adjourned until to-mor
row.
Washington, January 17.—When the
court opened, with the permission of
Judge Cox, Guiteau said: “I have writ
ten down what I wish to say and will
read it. It is in regard to my speech.’
He then read with considerable emphasis:
“I intend no disrespect to this honorable
court—I intend no controversy with this
honorable court. In general I am satis
fied with the law as proposed by your
Hohor; butl have suggested a still broader
view, which I ask your Honor to follow,
to-wit: that if the jury believh that I be
lieved that it was right to remove the
President, because £ had special divine
authority so to do, and was forced to do it
by the Deity, they will acquit cn the
ground of transitory mania. Sickles, Mc
Farland and Hiscock were acquitted on
the ground of transitory mania. In a
speech published in all the leading Amer
ican papers yesterday, which I presume
your Honor has read, I gave my rjasous
for asking your Honorso to charge. Mr.
Reed made a brilliant and lawyer-like
pica for the defense, and Mr. Scoville is
making a strong argument for his theory;
but neither Mr. P.eed nor Mr. Scoville
represent me in this defense. I am here
as iny/own counsel, and, as stated at tho
opening of the case, no one can represent
me to that jury. 1 know my feelings and
my inspiration in removing the President,
and I have set it forth to my satisfaction
in my speech published yesterday, and J
ask.your Honor, in tho name of justice, in
the‘name of the American people, to al
low me to address this jury of my coun
trymen when iny life may be at stake.
If a man on that jury has a doubt rs to
bis duty in acquitting me, my speech will
probably settle Imn In my favor, and
therefore, in the interest of justice, it is
of the greatest importance that they hear
me in my defense. Your Honor can de
cile the matter if you have any doubt as
to your duty.”
Mr. Scoville began wtth a general com
plaint of unfairness on tlie part of the
prosecution, particularly of the. prosecu
ting attorney. He had from tho begin
ning prese.'.bed who should visit the jail
and who should not. He had introduced
persons into tho prisoner’s cell under a
false guise, to worm out his secrets, and
when the prisoner said auythiug which
might inure to liis benefit, tbe prosecuting
attorney bad been very careful net to let
it become known. He complained of
CorkliiM’s unfairness in destroying tbe
notes of Stenographer Bailey, so that the
defense could not have the benefit of
them.
Mr. Scoville said tlie conduct of the
prosecutioff was not only unfair to the de
fense but often discourteous, and more
befitting a police court than this cause.
He then gave his views of Judge Porter,
and instructed the jury how much weight
they should attach to his utterances.
Scoville commenced a review of the life
of the prisoner, and continued up to the
adjournment.
Washington, January -1$.—Mr, Sco
ville resumed his argument to day, taking
up and discussing the statistics of insane
criminals which had been introduced in
evidence by the prosecution. He claimed
that this evidenco was of the greatest
benefit to tbe defense. Discussing tbe
horror of crime so often shown in the aets
of insane criminals, Mr. Scoville said:
“There was nothing in this act to compare
witli some of these insane acts of insane
criminals, aud, gentlemen of tho Jury, in
my opinion, if there were not reasons, and
powerful oues, back of this prosecution
this .prisoner never would have been
brought to trial. But I tell you, gentle
men of the jury, back of this prosecution
Is an Influence which I have felt and which
you may feel, gentlemen, before this
trial Is ended. There are politicians
who seek to hide their own shame behind
tlie disgrace of this poor prisoner and
make liitn the scapegoat of their crime. I
did not Intend, gentlemen of tho jury, to
tako up this feature of tbo ease, but when
I find the power and influence of this
government used against me, denying me
the small pittance that I have asked—a
lair anil impartial trial, and the small fa
cilities needed for a proper defense—I do
not propose to keep quiet. I say that such
men as Grant, Conkling and Arthur are
morally and intellectually responsible for
this crime. Conkling shall not escape—
shall not shirk the responsibility of the
state of things that led to this act. He shall
not escape the condemnation of the Ameri
can peoplo if 1 can helpit, for his share in
the disgraceful scramble for office that led
to a conflict with the chosen ruler of this
great nation aud led tills poor, insane
man to compass what they would have
hailed with satisfaction—as would proba-
blv hundreds of other politicians—if it
could hr.ve occured other than through as
sassination—tho removal of Garfield, who
stood in the way of their unrighteous and
disgraceful struggle for office. Neither
shall Grant escape tlyti condemnation to
which he is so justly subjected, when com
ing from Mexico, and coming with undue
haste, he threw his own name into a petty
quarrel about a small office in the Repub
lican party, and sought to foment dtfler-
cnces that had sprung up. I am not go
ing to see the misdeeds ot these men, high
in power, visited upon the head of this
poor, insane man, if I can help it. This
clamor fy his blood is not for the purpose
of avenmug Garfield ot satisfying jus
tice, but their theory is this : If it can
bo shown that this was tho act of a sane
man, then these politicians in high places
will say: Of course, we are not responsi
ble tor the act of asano man. To be sure,
we half somo differences, but then it could
never have led a sane fuan to do such
,n act. But on the contrary,
gentlemen of the jury,* what
is the effect of your verdict, it yon acquit
him as an insane man ? Why, the peo
ple will say some one is at fault. They
will say: We will fix the blame upon the
heads and hearts of those min who waged
war upon our poor dead President until it
deceived this poor insane.man from read
ing oaily in the papers wbat Grant says
and what Conkling says,,and from con
stantly think’ng upon it, to his imane act
of killing the President, and theso men in
high places are really tbo culpable ones,
and will go dowu to posterity with a
stigma upon their names aud the detesta
tio’i of their countrymen fastened upon
their memories.
Mr. Scovi lie's . denunciation of Conk
ling and Arthur created a profound sen
sation in the court room. As soon »s re
cess was announced Mr. Scoville was
surrounded by ladies and gentlemen and
congratulated upon his “fearless exposi
tion.” Ono gentleman exclaimed:
“That’j the sentiment, aud four-fifths of
the American people ate behind you ou
that!”
Tho recess hour was marked by several
heated discussions in tlie corridor upon
the general question of moral and intel
lectual responsibility, as set forth by Mr.
Scoville. During tho recess Mr. Scoville
received the following telegram:
“A’eio York, January 18 —Jfr. Scoville,
Attorney for Guiteau: Tlie New Yo:k
Court ol Appeals hts just decided that
the prosecution, where some evidence of
insanity is produced for the defense, must
make out tbe case of sanity beyond a rea
sonable doubt.”
Counsel for Ilie defense will call atten-
tioritotlic latest decision, and ask Judge
Cox to charge tbe jury to that effect. In
resuming his argument, Scoville called
attention to the fact that the actions of
the prisoner a’, the time of the shooting
and immediately afterward were in keep
ing with the theory of iusanity, and to
prove tliis quoted the testimony of
* number of witnesses for the prose
cution, wjio, lio said, could not
be charged with bias in favor of the pris
oner. Mr. Scovlllo then continued his re
view of the evidence, and pointed out va-
riqu* Incident) in tho prisoner’s life
wureb went to show insanity, or at least
the lack of something in his mental com
position which other men possessed. Mr.
Scovlllo continued to speak until 3
o’clock, when the court adjourned till to
morrow. The defense will probably oc
cupy the greater part of another day.

AM the Old Theories:
Exploded at Last.
A Near Motive Power
Discovered, lfixpunsioct
ol Heat Docs it All.
A cylinder made to revolve under uMer
40 to 60 revolutions per minute; a thing
nover accomplished before.
We have cocstrn -tid a new Washing Mra
chine, a practical device for washing dott
ing, as follows, viz. :
We toko a cylinder in which we place ib*
clothing to te washed, and arrange it in i»
common wa*h boiler. Under this cyltedea .
we linvo arranged a system of volvtn - which,
control tbs water, when pat in raotiact L-.
heat or boiliug, m inch s manner as to
make the cylinder revolve as rapidly as 4e-
sired.
Ths application of this device is peanliac
and truly wondt-rfaL
Clothing made to pass rapidly tinougfi
water bulling hot in this manner, is c!sm»-
cd most speedily and thoronghly. Thirty •
minutes’lime is a’’, that is needed to wvut.
nny clothing, however much soiled it
be. No rubbing or pounding required; wa
we#r and tear vf material. The inortwo..
derfnl labor-saving machine or donee itn
invented. A child can opt rate it, aroens
person can use it ns weU es anoth'-r. Fc-
skill is required; it cannot got out of orCer
This invention r cods only to be sstntz.-
bo appreciated. All are surprised ttj-.-
simplicity, and wonder why it wot not -re
covered before.
Just think of it. A family can do so os -
dinary washing before breakfast. Put loom ,
olothos iu the cylinder; then fill iri wi-.taw
enough to cover tho cylinder or clotfcTBY
about ono inch; piece it on the rang*-
stove, or anywhuro you can got brisk bet-
under it. As soon os tbe water begeuxt.
boiTtho cylinder will revolve rapidly. Cr*i-
tinuothe motion say thirty minutes: than
tako out tbe clothing, rinse and wring oat,,
nnd you will find them perfectly clr-iu.
Clothing washed in this raanher will wear-,
a third longer than by any ether method.-
Tliis Washer is an article of true ia>;
niftl tclls-at sight. It only requires te fc*
shewn in operation to make a faff, a* t*fr-
ntirsly different from anything ever »<•*>-.
ed to the public. Therefore wo want arm*,
but good men to introduce it for us: te
men we make liberal terms. Kveryhejy-
knows that clothing made to pars throe -:,
water will bo washed. Boutmen. snOota
s a’.diers, and others have of ti u washed tleii
clothing perfectly clean witnout the ai J cT
soap, by securing them lo a Una tue:~u ..
to the stem of the boat while ia motion, ft
is water (assisted by soar) p»«fagthw»v\
tho material that removes the dirt. Any
thing that will aeoompiish tins withcu.' lie-
bor, or wearing the material, is an inipre - - *
ment long sought after but neydr uttaiuejt
