SCOViLLE’S INTENTIONS
IN REGARD TO CONDUCTING THE
TRIAL OF GUITEAU.
A Brother, in-Law Who Finds Himtelf Sudden-
]y Famous Through the Influence of His
Wife a Kelstlons—The Assaasin to Be De
fended on the Pico of Insanity.
Washington, October 6.—George Scoville, the
brother-in-law of the assassin Guiteau, arrived In
tlie city accompanied by hi' wife, and for obvious
reasons proceeded at ouee to private quarters previ
ously eugaged for him. Eailv in tie afternoon Mr
Scoville called on Colonel Corkhill and had a lone
interview, immediately succeeding which he fell
into the clutches of the ever ubuiquitous reporter
"Kid you see your client and relative, Mr Sco-
villc?"
"I have not yet seen him, having Just arrived in
the city. My first business was with the district
attorney, who has very kindly granted me un imme
diate consultation."
"How did Colonel Corkhill treat you?"
"Very courteously. The colonel kindly expressed
his sympathy for the position I find myself placed
in, and proffered any assistance proi>er under the
■circumstances."
"Have you secured any assistance in your de
fense."
“Not yet. Not having had time. Of course it is
obviously desirable that I should have the advice
and co-operotion of competent local counsel, who
arc familiar with the distiict laws and practice."
"Who do you expect to secure?!'
“Either Mr Merrick or Colonel Totten, or both, I
. should greatly desire to have assist me if possible.
The two gentlemen have been especially recom
mended and, Mr Merrick, who is an old Chicago
lawyer, is well known to us all.”
"Now, Mr Scoville, please inform us what your
line of defense will be?”
"If I didn’t think the unfortunate man was in
tone, I would not defend him at all. if he is not
insane and cannot be clearly made to api>ear so, he
ought to he hung. Still I shall be governed largely
in my course by the udvicu of my associate counsel
and cannot say definitely wlmt pleas we shall offer.”
"Have you any confidence that you can prove
cither u hereditary taint of insanity or any aets pre
vious to the assassination which would sustain such
a defense?”
"I think both positions can be sustained. Still,
you must bear in mind that this man's family have
really known nothing of him or his actions for quite
three years, except what ims been learned from the
ncwspuiiers since the assassination. If the accounts
of him and his vagaries during the time his family
have lost sight of him are reliable, he is clearly an
irres|M>usil>lc being.”
"Will you be ready for trial at once, as soon as the
prisoner is arraigned?”
"Of course not. In the first place I shall be oblig
ed to rake the country over for witnesses, and
doubtless many of the most im)M>rtant ones will, if
]sissible, evade process. This man was in the Oneida
community for six years, and I hove been informed
w»*»jrt one time confined as a lunatic. This I do
not Know to be true, but it will lie my duty to in
vestigate it nnd make such use of the information
obtained as it deserves.
”Do you expect you will be granted a contin
uance?”
• "I think, in justice, I ought to be granted suffi
cient time to arrange iny defense, and that I can
make Mu lt a showing ns will intiucncc the court to
grant it.”
"Will uot the defense be a costly one?"
"Not necessarily. The government will be bound
to compel the attendance of such witnesses as are
shown to be mntcriul and pay for it. If any large
amount of money was required, I could not raise it,
for I have only the ordinary means of a professional
man at my command.”
"Have you not been pi offered a large amount of
legal assistance?”
"Yes. Quite a number of lawyers, and some of
them prominent ones, have written me. offering to
resist In the defense, but I have not set accepted any
of them.”
”.ut\ Washington lawyers among them?”
"Well, th -to matters a re confidential and I should
prefer in t to give names.”
"One question more. Will Colonel Corkhill con
sent to a continuance?"
"I do not sup|K>so he will. If he can prevent it.
He expresses himself us convinced that no good
cun conic of it, nnd tlmt public sentiment, as well
as justice, demands an iinmetliiite triul and conclu
sion. He. however, views the matter as a public
prosecutor, nnd I hoi* to find the court more
liberal.”
"Stillanother question: Will your defenseem-
brace any allegation that malpractice on the part of
the surgeons in charge of the president contributed
to or was the cause of his death?"
“A good litany doctors Imre assured me that
there were good grounds' for defense on snch a jwwi-
tlon, and I have been told that Hr Hammond, of
New York, who is certainly a most eminent au
thority, asserts that the president’s death is due to
(lie treatment. Hut, ns I have already said, my
strong rook of defense is the non-responsibily tif
this unfortunate man, for the cruel crime against
our beloved president, on the ground of his in
sanity. and, unless I am overruled by my associates,
that will be the jatsition I shall adhere to.”
A SAD ACCIDENT.
A Young Udy Poisons Herself by Mistake.
About 7 o’clock Tuesday evening, a rumor of
the poisoning of a young lady ni her home on Col
lins street, began to be circulated about the Kim-
lutil house, where the rcjicrtorial eats of The Con
stitution came in contact with it. At first
the Intelligence wus very meagre, but finally it be
came known that the rumor was eorreet, and that
the unfortunate lady was a Miss Slnts, residing at
No 77 N Collins street, where a Constitution re
porter gathered the following facts:
At 77 North Collins street Mr J W Sims resides.
With hint are several sisters w ho tire well known
ntid highly esteemed in Atlanta. For'some time
past MissSudic Sims, one of the ladies, has been in
the habit of taking quinine in order to quiet a ner
vous affection. The drug was usually kept on the
mantel itt her room and was taken only when the
nervous fits would seize her. Yesterday evening
about six o’clock Miss Sims began complaining, and
after lying down on her lied asked one of her sisters
to give her a dose of quinine. The sister went to
the mantel for the medicine, but not finding it,
opened the clock from which she took a paper con*
tabling what she thought was quinine, but which
proved to be arsenic. After unwrappingthc paper,
the lady tasted the medicine, anil then proceeded to
make a pill which she ptve her sister. In a few
minutes after the pill had been swallowed Mis
Sims began to feel the effects of the poison upon
her system and at otice told her sister that she was
dying. A hurried examination disclosed the fact
that arsenic had been mistaken for quinine, and
medical aid was quickly summoued, but before a
response was had Miss Sims was dead.
The quinine had often been placed in the clock
where some other medicine was kept, and thus the
mistake was made.
Tito intelligence spread rapidly, and in a short
while the residence had been visited by scores of
friends of the family, who did all in their power to
alleviate the sorrow of the stricken family.?
Miss elms was a young lady of most
excellent character. She was a pure, gentle woman,
whose many elegaut traits had won for her the love
and friendship of all who knew her. She was a
consistent member of the Methodist church, and
was devoted to her Master's cause. In her death a
mother loses a devoted daughter, a brother a loving
sister, the church an earnest member and the world
a noble Christian. Her untimely and sad dealh
will be a source of great sorrow to all who knew
her, in whose hearts is enshrined her pure, noble
character.
WHAT THE GIRLS ARE DOING.

THEWEEICLY CONSTITUTIOX OCTOBER 11, 1881.
SENATORIAL ORATORS.
GEORGIA CROP NEWS.
A Description of the 5b thud, of gome oT Onr Distin
guished Senators.
Washington Republican.
The senate is soon to meet again, and the expect-
ed presence ol the Scions here inspires us to say
that there are very few men In either house of
congress who speak upon any important measure
without having made the most elaborate preirara-
tion. . The library is ransacked for books, old new-
paper files are brought from their nooks, and cords
of paper arc used in Diking notes. These notes are
filled out, put in order, aud then you have a set
speech.
David Davis, perhaps, more than nnv other sena
tor, indulges in manuscript, preparing even a five-
minute speech with great care. This is
his inflexible rule, and has been since he
entered public life. After he delivers his
speeches, or rather after he reads them, he
hands his manuscript to Mr Murphy, the senate
stenographer, who sends it to the government print
ing office. The compositors never have any uuuthc-
mas for the judge's writing, wbich_is large, distinct
and full of character.
Edmunds never uses notes, nnd once a speech is
out of his mouth, he doesn't bother his head about
it. During all the years he has been in the senate,
he has not revised a single speech. He turns every
thing in his mind beforehand, and never rises to
address the senate without huving weighed in the
scales of his great mind wlmt he intends saying.
Ben Hill will speak for three hours without a
scrap of paper. The only preparation he makes is
marking reiereneesand passages in this book orthat.
1 have seen him time and again thunder away for
two hours without stopping even for a glass of wa
ter. He revises.this speeches, however: make-addi
tions and corrections in u clear hand, much like
that of a college boy, and gives the prattlers little
trouble with his proof, llill has an astounding
memory, and no man in public life, except Ed
munds, has such imperturbability. The only man
wlto could well worry Hill or excite his wrath in
debate was the late Mutt Cuipenter. How it tickled
Carpenter to put some admit question at the Geor
gian and get him confused—a hard thing to do at
any time, but Carpenter often succeeded. And it
was more the result of an irresistible propensity for
un than anything else, for never was man who hud
less malice than Matt Carpenter.
He mid a heart as big as a mountain. He was ex
ceedingly particular about his speeches when they
were ujioti legal questions. After he got the proof
front the foreman of the Record he would hack it to
pieces, send the corrected proof buck, get a second,
and treat it in like manner. His writing was cha
racteristic, hard to read—a rollicking, harum-
scarum sort of a fist—mid a study to the printers.
He used to say, "The shortest road is the best road
when you’re in a hurry;” and though he could
write a tine, full round hand, lie dashed off every
thing at lightning speed.
Another senator who, like Edmunds, never re
vised a speech, wus Thurman. Occasionally he
siHike from manuscript, but the stenographer took
down every word he said, as the oltl gentleman
would forget his manuscript and drift into extem-
liorary eloquence. Thurman, though never a
graceful speaker was always forcible. He was,
beyond all doubt, the ablest of the democrats, and
their leaders from the time he entered the senate.
Bayard works hard at his speeches, and though
he writes them out and follows his manuscripts
closely, he revises after proof is taken. He makes
few changes, however, but holds the proof very
often until 2 o’clock in the morning, ns ne spends
his evenings generally in social circles. He Is a
good penman, writing a medium-sized running
hand.
Lunar is a great reviser, cuts proof into tatters,
writes a horrible hand, and lnee the soul of a
printer. Occasionally he goes down to the govern-
ment printing office to look after his speeches,
which, when published, are vastly different from
tlie stenographer's report of them.
Senator t'oukling seldom made a correction of his
utterances in the senate chamber. He is perhaps
the best extemporaneous speaker in the
United States, ami even his remarks in running
debate are splendid indices of great ability.
During the extra session of the forty-sixth
congress he delivered a sjieech upon the
army appropriation bill without note, papers,
book. or reference of any kind. When the vice-
president announced “the semtturfrom New York,”
up rose the stately form of lloseoe Crinkling. Never
liefttre or since had the senator such an audience.
He sjHike for four hours. Before tire adjournment
of the senate 1 50,000 copies of his speech hail been
subscribed for. Every printing establishment in
Washington sent to the senator its lowest estimate.
Tn a very short time. Oyster, one of the best living
typos, and foreman of the Congressional Record,
had the proof of the great speech ready, lie took
it up to Wotmley’s uliotit 9 o'clock itt the morn
ing and asked for Senator Conkling. “He is not up
yet,” said the private secretary: "the senator break
fasts about 11: however, (is you are itt a hurry and
want to sec after the speech, I shall call him.”
“Tell Sir Oyster to come in—ah! how do you
do, Mr Oyster?” and Lord Chesterfield
never was more polite than was Conk-
ling in his night shirt. After rubbing his
eyes he looked at the proof, made a few changes,
nnd struck out the “Hon” before “Roseoe Conk-
ling.” You will never find it prefixed to his name
in any speech intended for general distribution.
After he received the speech he wrote his thanks,
Very kindly, to Foreman Oyster, as follows:
"united States Senate Chamber, May 7,1879—My
DctirSTr: I beg you to receive my thnuks for the
bound speech, and for your kindness throughout.
I ant glad to have made your acquaintance, and
trust I may know you better in future. Cordially
yours, Koscoe Conkling.
"E W Oyster, Esq.”
Of all the senators, Conkling writes the best baud
—large, easy, graceful and legible, llis signature,
however, would be a study to any one not acquaint
ed with it.
The present secretary of state, when a member of
tlie senate, used to look carefully after his speeches,
which, for tlie most juirt, were made front “head
ings." Probably there never was in the United
lutes senate a man who needed less preparation
.inn James G Blaine. He is infallible in
history and impregnable in debate. His
memory of facts and faces is absolutely won
derful. He can la-gin with William the
Conxueror and give you the name of every
sovereign of England down to Victoria, with the
dates of their reigns. Now and then the senator
would give his personal attention to the printing of
n speech. One morning Oyster found him busily at
work “cutting up copy” for the printers. "Hello,
Oyster, I’m ahead of yon. See, I’m dividing copy.’
"Yes, senator, 1 see you're ahead of me: but 1 went
home only six hours ago, and shall be here for six
teen consecutive hours,” “Well, I know it's hard
work. Oyster. I've been at it, and know what night
work means.”

Coming—Three Time* Larger than Ever.
On the 22d day of October, \V C Coup’s great Paris
Hippodrome. combined with his new united mon
ster shows, sail! to be more than three times larger
than ever, will exhibit in Atlanta giving three per
formances, morning, afternoon and night. In con
sequence of the greatly increased size of his show,
timl the enormous additional expenses attending it,
Mr Coup has been compelled to increase the priceof
admission. In order that our readers may realize
the immense difference in size, the following facts
arc necessary: The advertising department alone is
more than twice as extensive, using two magnificent
palace advertising cars, and three separate sets of
agents and advertisers. Tlie illuminated material
used is the finest and most expensive ever known,
costing daily 52,500.
The enormous tents, covering fully eight acres,
are the largest ever known, actually overspreading
three circus rings, and a hippodrome race trudufortv
feet wide and neatly half a mile around. In addi
tion to the four circus and hippodrome companies,
there is a grand museum and menagerie filled with
animah from all jiarts of the world. To operate the
different features of the museum, a dozen or more
steam engines are nsed.
In the way of sensations, the wonderful flight of
I.u Lu, who is hurled from a powerful iron catapult,
high in the ttlr, and describing in transit across the
great hippodrome pavilion the segment of un air
circle five hundred feet in diameter, and turning
two complete evolutions before alighting. Is the
most hazardous and astounding ever witnessed, and
said to be well worth going five hundred miles to
see. Then come the Zulus, the Itidiatts in their ex
citing chase fora wife, the hippodrome races, jockey
races, hurdle and steeple chases, fiat and standing
races, tlie elephant ttml camel races, the Zulus rac
ing with thoroughbred horses, and scores of other
novelties which can be seen and enjoyed only in
Coup’s great show. For full particulars see the"six

TUE COTTON MARKET.
CONSTITUTION OFFICE,
Atlanta, October 8,1881.
THE WEEK’S REVIEW—FRIDAY, tHTOBER 7.
New A’ork—The cotton market for several days has
been quiet and steady, and although sales for future
delivery for the week compares favorably with last
week, the tone of the market at times was feverish,
and there was a greater inclination on the part of
the mouths to decline. To-day the market shows
some improvement, and an irregular advance con
tinued up to the close. During the afternoon a firm
feeling was developed, but late in the day the
strength eased off some, though futures were subject
to very little fluctuation. There is no particular
cause assigned for the droopy condition of the mar
ket but the heavy increase iu net receipts and a
tight money market had much to do with it. Com
pared with the quotations of a week ago the months
have declined about 6@10 points, but for tiie more
distant mouths no material change hits taken place.
The spot market has ruled quiet und dull and for
the week hassuffered a decline of %; middling ll%c.
Net receipts for tlie week ending to-day 169,996
bales, against 132,113 bales last week and against
197,819 bales for the corresponding week last year;
exports for the week 80,376 bales; same time last year
134,093bales; stock 416,023 bales; same time last year
358,968 bales.
There was a fair amount of business transacted in
the local cotton market this week. Regardless of
outside influences, futures have monopolized much
of the attention of speculators, though the move
ment of fluctuations were entirely too light to create
any particular enthusiasm. Spots for some days past
have been unusually dull. There has been n fair
demand but bids were too low to satisfy sellers.
Yesterday quotations were marked down and to-day
the murket rules steady at the prices below. Total
receipts for tlie week show a satisfactory increase
over last week and the corresponding week last
year. For particulars we refer to the table else
where.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8.
New York—At the opening of the market this mom
Ing futures were steady at much lower prices. For
some time during the morning no material change
occurred, but before noon indications developed a
loss of strength and during the remainder of the
day the market declined rapidly. At the close
the months retained u steady tone, though since yes
terday’s close a decline of twenty points has been
effected. The spot market is working under weak
influences and a significant decline was reported tit
the close. The general tone of tlie cotton market
appears much nffccted, and even lower prices for
the next few days would not occasion muelt sur
prise: middling to-day ll%e.
Net receipts to-day 33,710 bales, against 3G.5S5bales
last year; exports 15,225bales; last year 12,958 bales;
stock 460,310 bales; last year 366,818 bales.
