IS CJUITEAU INSANE P
This question seems to posh itself
e American peo]
Scovillo, tbroi
S. Johnson, has
'aeon B. Loomis, judge
ty court of Cook county,
Illinois, for guardianship of the per
son and property of Charles J. Gui-
teau. In the plea she states that
many people, believing him insane,
have presented him with sums of
money, and that be is getting a large
income from sale of photographs and
antographs, and, further, that he is
now negotiating for the sale of his
body after death, if he should be exe
cuted, etc. An exchange says:
The attorney for Mrs. Scoville in
this case is Wm. 8. Johnson, who is
one of oar brightest young criminal
lawyer, and has much experience in
insane coses. In the celebrated Clar
et murder trial here Johnson cleared
Minnie Dixon on the ground of in
sanity. He wo8 formerly engaged
with Emory A. Storrs iu the practice
of law. This is an unexpected turn
of affairs in the case, and while the
question of bis insanity will be tried
here in Chicago, whether Guiteuu is
present or not, the case requires triul
by jury before Judge Loomis, and
the question will aguin come up as to
whether Guiteaa was insane or not at
the time of the shooting of President
Garfield. Newly discovered evidence
will be introduced at the trial of the
case in Chicago. Many witnesses
who were not present at the Washing

ing of the lessees of the State
and to look after the interests of his
company. Touching the completion
of the new road, Col. Cole said.
“It is assured beyond doubt that
the road from Atlanta to Macon will
be completed by the first of July, and
that trains will be ruuuing by that
time. General Thomas,’ Mr. Seney
and others interested hope to be here
and take a trip over the road from
here to Macon on the 4tb of July.
“Are the steel rails bought for the
whole line ?
“Yes, sir, we purchased fifteen
thousand tons of steel rails which will
lay the track from Rome to Macon.—
Twelve thousand tons have already
beeu delivered and are now on the
line between here and Macon, and be
tween here and Rome. One thousand
tons are now on the way for delivery
and the balance will be here before it
is needed. Every mile of rail between
bere and Macou is lying along the
track to-day?
“The grading is nearly finished ?”
"Yes, sir. Sixty miles of the nine
ty have been completed und ready for
the track. Of the other thirty, all of
it is under way. Major McCracken
thinks the line from bere to Rome
will be finished by t he 1st of July. He
is a very cautions talker and a very
sagacious worker."
“No puuic or disturbance could ef
fect the road now ?’’
"Why, uu sir. The money to build
these extensions was ready the day
the new company was formed. Every
dollar has been paid in and is iu bank
awaiting tbe call of Major McCracken,
who has charge of the construction.—
There are uo circumstances conceiva

CARP CULTURE.
Facts ConnFctftd with th»* Govern*
motif KxppHniHif.
Washington Star.
The yearly draining off of the water
from the Government carp ponds was
commenced last Saturday, ami contiu
ned Monday. Results show that the
season for breeding has beeu success
fill beyoud the expectation of Prof.
Baird. There uro now three large
ponds iu which fish have keen culti
vated. Iu the group at the foot of
the Washington monument, auothor
(inuch larger than the others) will be
added the coming season, containing
eight acres. The pond will bo com
pleted in a few days, when the water
will be let in, and a stock of about 250
large carp will be put iu, which, it is
expected, will materially increase tbi
annual supply to inci-t the orders re
ceived by Prof. Baird. The number
of yonng carp of lust year's spawn
thus far taken out of these ponds and
plnced in tbe pools on tbe small is
land by tbe lakes is estimated to bo
about 340,000. These are the young
fish hatched out the last season in
May. June and Julv, and are now of
nearly a nnform size, healthy, and
just in a condition to be shipped.—
The entire cumber sent from this city
last year by Prof. Baird was about
300,000. That number will probably
be nearly doubled this year. The
large pond will be stocked this spring
for (lie first time, ned it is thought
will swell the number to be distrib
uted next year to at least 1,000,000.
There are about seventy of tbe origi
nal fish brought from Germany still
alive in the sen ponds. They are

subject may be attributed to moti
which are entirely alien to my mind,
I know that a systematic attempt has
been made to impress upon tbe minds
of the Northern people the idea that
the people whom I immediately rep
resent are especially hostile to the en
forcement of these revenue laws. Like
their Representative, sir, they are not
enamored with these laws. They find
it difficult to understand why a farm
er cannot sell tbe products of his own
farm to his neighbor without appear
ing on the criminal docket. But
there is no undue demonstration of
hostility there. And the systematic
exaggeration of a certain revenue offi
cial in that district reminds me of
what Dr. Livingstone said was the
custom of tbe Becbuana Hottentots.
The great oxplorer tells us that when
that people would give him a misera
ble goat they would exclaim, “Behold,
an ox!’’ So it has been with the re
ports of this revenue officer. Isolated
instances of a violation of the law by a
few people have been made to involve
entire counties and a pretense for ex
pensive expeditions to be puid liberal
ly from the public Treasury.
Gentlemen have observed bow tbe
columns of the Washington newspa
pers are occasionally enlivened by tel
egrams from the South reciting how
valiant revenue officiate, presumably
at great risk to themselves, have
seized aud destroyed large distilleries,
immense quantities of malt and uinsh,
and oceans of beer and spirits. Why,
sir, the mail is not sufficiently swift
to convey to the world the acconiits
of the achievements of the doughty
lieutenants of the honorable Commis
sioner of Iuterual Revenue, and so
electricity is invoked for that pur
pose.
Let an investigation be asked, and
the telegrams are multiplied. Con
spiracies, ambuscades, murders und
riots Hush along the wires like the
sheet lightning iu a summer's even
ing, until an unsuspecting and patri
otic people, a quiet agrt, ultural and
pastoral people, who are devoted to
the Government and its principles,
are made to appear, by falsehood and
calumny, as rebellious and disaffected.
A tew weeks ago the following
startling telegram, in substance, was
forwarded to Washington by tbetbeu
collector of tbe second district of
Georgia: “A few days ago,” said the
telegram, “my deputy discovered and
broke up a bud ueet ut distillers iu
Gwinnett county. Since that time
the guide, William Rice, bus beeu
murdered,’’ and I believe that the tel
egram said tbnt Ins head was cut off.
“I have sent a deputy to investigate,”
said tko collector.
Now, we have not beard from the
deputy, but the people down thore
have mudo an investigation, and it is
ascertained that William Rice is not
dead; that there bus been no murder,
uo homicide, no mutilation, no decap
itation. But I am very happy to say
that the investigation of the honorable
Secretary of the Treasury, which was
pending at tkut particular juncture
with reference to this revenue collec
tor, has resulted in his discharge, and
the alleged itecapitation of William
Rice did not prevent the actual de
capitation of the collector.
Sir, it would be well if gentlemen !
knew the difference between a distil-1 _
lery properly so culled, one of tbe
mammoth struct tires that you Nee iu
the North and West, mid tbe wretch
ed and paltry contrivance to distil a
few gulluus of peach or apple brandy
or corn whiskey, which so excites anil
iutlames the representatives of the
Revenue Bureau in that country.
Perhaps a withered beldame, “old
and droll,” is driving along a moun
tain rood. Her conveyance is a rick-
etty two-wheeled cart. Her team is
a miserable bull, whose native ferocity
has been tamed by hard penury. It
is true, perhops, that there is under
tbe fodder in the body of the cart a
five-gallou keg of whiskey to which
there is affixed no stamp bearing the
noble and classic features of tbe Com
missioner himself. The deputies are
in ambush for her. They rush upon
her, and like Falstaff are masters of
her wealth. She screams and scratch
es with all her might iu the defense
of her broperty. And then the wires
flash to Washington—“Great seizure
of blockade spirits; desperate resist
ance by the armed defender, but the
gallant officers captured the moon
shiner with wagon aud team.”
Now, I say, aud I say it with all
candor, tins is in a large measure typ
ical of many cases of which the Nortb-
my town a colored man—a good I
publican, too, I will say. His n.imj
was Adam Malone. And though hot I
' ‘ ’ enfranchised, he bad au honest I
to obey the laws of thatgov.l
it which had conferred on him I
ti triable boon of freedom. He I
ihoemaker, and iu some wav I
tot his work, had become po^.1
sessed of two gallous of whisky.-.I
Somebody beard be bad it, and west!
to him to buy bis whiskey. Adi 1
said, “No; it is agin tbe law for m e |
to sell this whiskey; but you have!
some shiugles that I want tp finisj|
my house; and while I cannot sell the!
whiskey, it is not unlawful for me tol
let you have the whiskey for the shin-1
gles, and if you will give me the shiiiT
gles for tbe whiskey, you may baJ
it.” Well, the trade was effected, a Q j|
the commodities were exchanged.-
Poor Adam was as guiltless as tbj
babe unborn of any attempt to evadil
the law. The lynx-eyed revenue <
cers heard of the transaction. PooJ
Adam was prosecuted and convicteil
for retailing without a license, hu.1
before be served out his term he ditl|
in jail.
Mr. Chairman, these facts cam!
out on the trial, or rather came I
tny knowledge ns tbe counsel
the unfortunate defendant. But i
short time ago Judge Hill, tbe Fei
end district judge, who I believj
came from Mississippi to preside
my collection district, I am iuforaieil
ordered the discharge of two bundrtf
men, who, under this revenue systerJ
hud been arrested aud brought beforj
the court for offenses so couteinptibij
iu their littleness that he consider*-)
them unworthy tbe attention of I
court. De minimus nun curat lex w.l
the maxim of this wise judge, acj
must be tbe system of oppressu
which would produce the Btate
facts ou which this judge passed ?
The youug fish hutched out last May j
