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. A ZULU belle is somewhat like a prophet of old, not haring much on ’er In her own country. A handsome Herman girl came 4.00J miles to see her lover, and become a bride in Lewiston, Me. She came from Hamburg, Ocnnauy. Susan Anthony wants the name of the rnllman cars altered cither to Pull-man and woman or Pull- irrespcotive-o:'-se%cars. A un eight engineer on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad hud a "falling out” with his sweetheart, who lived near r.Wralugton. In revenge, the girl oiled the rails on the track in front of her swain’s train, which was struggling up the 17-milc grade. It took the locomotive proper and several tons of sand to overcome thee fleets of the girl's stratagem. 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.” Catarrh of the Bladder. Stinging, smarting, irritation of the urinarp pass ages. diseased dis' 5 barges, cured by "Buchupaibu.” Druggists.

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.

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.
