One of the best speeches delivered
in the U. S. Senate this session is
that by Justin S. Morrill of Ver
mont, Dec. 8th, on the bill to appoint
a tariff commissioner. It is an able
presentation in favor of a tariff for
protection of American industries.
Senator Saunders will please accept
our thanks for a copy of this speech.
Guiteau spent a quiet Christmas,
and late in the afternoon partook of
a hearty Christmas dicner. He ha9
prepared another atatement for pub
lication, which he iutimates contains
important and interesting revela
tions bearing on his case. He still
clings to the belief that the jury will
accept his bold assertion that bis free
agency was destroyed, and will ac
quit him.
A western Republican and for
mer member of congress says that
not
an appointment which Prr.
ident Arthur was satisfied bad been
promised by President Garfield had
refused, although some of the in
dividuals were personally object
ionable. Every wish of his pre
decessor had been fulfilled, and the
full recognition of Senator Sherman
is the strongest evidence that a man
who can so govern his personal
feelings is fit to govern a nation.
Our exchanges last week record
an unusual number of murders and
horrible crimes perpetrated in dif
ferent localities throughout the Unit
ed States. One near ABhland, Ky.,
is too terrible in its crimnal charact
er to record. Two young ladies be
tween sixteen and seventeen years
old, named Gibbon and Thomas
were assaulted and outraged by vil
lians, who then split their heads op
en with a hatchet, saturated their
clothing with oil, killed yonng Gib
bon and set fire to the house.

Two men the other night entered
the residence of Julius Whiting, of
Canton, Ohio, a wealthy properly
owner, and presented a revolver at
Mr. Whiting while the other robber
took from under Mr. WhitiDg's pil
low a diamond worth $1,000, and a
gold watch worth $150.
The report is revived again through
Assistant Postmaster General Hat
ton that S. P. Rounds, of Chicago,
will be the next Public Printer. Mr.
Rounds is popular with western
newspaper men, and has hosts oi
friends who would be pleased to
know he could obtain the position.
Senator Van Wyck, it will be
seen, is getting in hi work for Ne
braska men. While the senator will
be fouud always to recognize his
special friends, he will at the same
time be approachable by all, and
friendly to all. We judge that he
will be very watchful of Nebraska
Interests.

The citizens of Bismarck held a
meeting the other evening to appoint
delegates co a convention to consider
the propriety of making a division
of Dakota ; resolutions were adopt
ed favoring division, entering the
southern half as a state, and leaving
north Dakota a territory twice the
size of New York.
Richards, the murderer of Mrs.
Terrell, at Gore, Ohio, was traced
and captured. He now states that
he knowB who was in the Weldon-McClung-Hite
murder two years
ago, and that old beads planned and
carried it into execution, and that he
shot Mrs. Terrell on account of an
old grudge The general impression
is that be murdered Mrs. Terrell to
prevent her making a confession
concerning the triple tragedy.
Saturday morning about three
o'clock, another murder was com
mitted in Omaha, in the Baloon ol
Julius Treitschko. Oscar Hammer
was bit on the bead above the ear
with some weapon or instrument
that made a bole in his head and
fractured his skull, from which
blow he died in a few minutes.
Charles Kosterand Frank Kennistou
were put under arrest for the mur
der. Hammer was the bar-tender;
the other parties had been drinking,
and had some difficulty with him
previous to the fatal blow. The
coroner's investigation resulted in
the filing of a complaint against
Charles Koster, charging him with
murder in the first degree. Mrs.
Hammer is reported as having lost
her reason, under the terrible afflic
tion. Dan Voorhees in his proposition
to amend the constitution and enact
laws providing for the election of
postmasters, instead of the appoint
ment by the President and senate,
has "grabbed a root" of a genuine
civil service reform. This proposi
tion was embodied in the Nebraska
republican platform of '72. There is
no more sensible and obvious way
of "relieving tbotremendous pres
sure upon the executive," caused by
the ninety thousand federal offices
that he has to fill, than to let the
people elect the most of them. But
it is a little sad that Dan should be
the only civil service reformer in
Washington to think of this easy
solution.
The above ie from the Lincoln
Journal. Mr. Gere always keeps
his eyes and ears open to what it
transpiring, and he might add that
that plank in the platform of the
party was due to the republicans of
Platte couuty in the convention. It
may not be out of place to reproduce
it here, as presented to the conven
tion, as it is jnst possible that it was
an expression of opinion that may
aid a little in solving one of the
troublesome problems of the civil
service.
"Resolved, that it is right and
highly expedient that recommenda
tion of appointment to the office of
postmaster in the State of Nebraska
should be made by the voters of the
precinct, town or city most nearly
concerned in the appointment at an
I election held for that purpose."
It is claimed that interesting dis
closures were developed the other
day before the treasury investigation
regarding Sherman's management of
the treasury. The occasion grew
out of the testimony of a colored
messenger. He swore that one day
he was instructed to take a large
box from the stationery-room over
to the Sherman committee-rooms,
then presided over by Mr. Moulton,
Sherman's brother-in-law. This box
required all of his strength to lift it.
He helped open it and it contained
inkstands, pens, blotters, pencils, and
a large qaantity of first class station
ery. He carried over the next day
a box of the same sort, equally as
heavy and large. The statement
comes from Washington that the
treasury department for years ha
been in the possession of officials
who have been there so long, they
have come to regard the building
and every thing in it as belonging to
them. Col. Moulton, of Cincinnati,
brother-in-law to ex-Secretary Sher
man testified before the committee
that the Sherman bureau, in the Cor
coran building, of which he bad
charge, was not supplied with either
furniture or stationery from the
treasury department. Here jb a con
flict of testimony. We hope the
committee of investigation will
probe the matter to the bottom, and
if there has been any pe'tty pilfering
sroinsr on that the committee eiDosc I
it no difference whom it involves in I
Gaileaa Trial.
The court convened Tuesday
morning, Dec. 27th, pursuant to ad
journmeut, which makes the
seventh week of the trial, and the
court room was filled, as usual.
The first witness called was Dr.
McDonald, superintendent of the
New Yorkjinsane asylum.
He described every condition of
insanity, and said he did not believe
in hereditary insanity. As a gen
eral rule the descendants of insaue
persons did not become insane. The
belief that a man would live forever,
or could cure disease by laying on
of hands was no evidence of in
sanity. Guiteau interrupted that there
were two kiuds of insanity : 'Crank'
insanity and 'Abraham' insanity.and
I he belonged to the Abraham school.
Dr. McDonald continued that be
did not believe in moral insanity : it
was merely wickedness or depravity.
Insane people did not make delib
erate preparations for their acts, but
generally acted in a moment of pas
sion. They did not show the samo
judgment in the solectfon of their
"victims as sane people. Sane peo
ple had a definite motive, and their
victims were persons against whom
they had some grudge, or who had
Injured or disappointed them. In
sane persons ffenerallv utrapknil
those near and dear to them. In
sauo people generally have no fear
of the consequences of their act,
while sane persona were careful ot
their own safety and approach their
victims from bohind. He examined
the prisoner in jail on the 12th ot
November etc., and bad watched his
conduct in court, and considering
everything in connection with the
prisoner he believed him to be a
perfectly eane and responsible man.
In my opinion the man has been
playing a part in court.
This wituess wbb subjected to a
long examination with some inter
ruptions from tho prisoner, and
...:.u i i ...
wiiii a uiose ana critical cross-examination
which was not concluded,
when the court adjourned until to
morrow morning.
The prisoner shouted to the wit
ness that he had better be prepared
to tell something about Abraham
to-morrow.
The court met Wednesday morn
ing, Dec. 28th, with the usual crowd
present
The cross-examination of Dr. Mc
Donald was resumed by Mr. Scoville.
He paid that he believed the pris
oner in court had feigned what he
believed was insanity, but which
was not; that the prisoner, to the
extent of his ability, had attempted
to appear insane.
Dr. Randolph Barksdale, Super
intendent of the Central Asylum of
Virginia and Dr. J. A. Callander,
Superintendent of the Tennessee
Hospital for the insane, were sev
erally examined andtestified that
the prisoner was sane.
Throughout the examination the
prisoner abused and insulted the
witnesses, the counsel for the pros
ecution and bis own counsel in such
a manner as induced Porter to re
new the motion to place the prisoner
in the dock, where this abuse and
blasphemy shall be heard from the
dock, and not from the counsel
table. This motion was discussed
by counsel, pro and con, with an
occasional remark .from the pris
oner. Judge Cox at this point stated the
reasons of the court for indulging
the prisoner in the course he had
taken in court would afford the best
indications of his mental and moral
character and contribute largely to
the enlightenment of the court and
jury on the question of bis res
ponsibility, but now the motion is
made and the trial ia approaching
its close and the experts have had
ample opportunity to form judg
ment, I shall mako an order to res
train him by ordering the marshal
to place the prisoner in the dock.
The prisoner turned to the court
and said, 'It may settle the question
if I promise to be quiet If I am
put in the dock I may be worse.'
'I would do whatever yon say said
the prisoner, 'but I ask that the court
room be cleared.'
The deputy marshal started to
execute the order of the court The
prisoner did not seem disposed to
move, and he was threatened with
handcuffs. 'No, no,' he cried, 'don't
put them on. I will go with you.'
He was placed in the dock amid
some excitement and confusion, and
when, surrounded by the guard, he
realized the fact that he was just as
safe as in his old seat, he again be
came defiant, pounded at the bar in
the old style and kept up a constant
stream of interruptions, calling on
Almighty God to curse the pros
ecution.
The examination was resumed,
but no new facts elicited.
Court adjourned until to-morrow.
Several hundred people waited on
the outside and Guiteau was hooted
at vigorously as he was driven off to
jail.
The counsel for the prosecution
believe that the case will close this
week.
The court met Dec. 29th, pursuant
to adjournment, and found the room
packed as usual, despite the rainv
weather.
The prisoner got in Mb accus
tomed'morning speech, this time ob
jecting to the insufficiency of the
guard and the danger of some crank
I so
shooting him in tne van. lie ap-
pealed to the court for protection ;
while he was in custody the co l
was bound to give him protection
and make an order that the usual
guard should accompany him.
Before proceeding'to examine Dr.
Calleuder, Judge Cox remarked that
the statement was made yesterday
'the court surrounded tho prisoner
with the usual guards and protec
tion,' he wouldj.state the prisoner
was i;i the custody of the marshal,
cud not of the court, and whatever
extra guards have been furnished
have been supplied by him.
The prisoner 'We'll then, your
honor, if the marshal w.ill not do
his duty, I appeal to the court. It
the marshal will not furnish a proper
guard, kick him out and let us have
a new marshal.'
A letter was read by Scoville from
the prisoner to Hon. Don. Cameron
asking him for $500. 'P. S. Please
give your check to my brother, J.
W. Guiteau, of Boston, and make it
payable to my order.'
Scoville then read tho hypothetical
question of the defense, and the wit
ness replied : 'Upon that hypothe
sis his insanity is a self-evident
proposition.'
Dr. Walter Kempeter, superin
tendent of the Wisconsin state hos
pital for the insane, had devoted his
attention to tho study of iusanity
the past fifteen years. Witness was
familiar with the process of marking
conformity of the head, and did not
believe much importance as a rule
could be attached to the shape of the
head in determining the question of
sanity or insanity. Witness ex
hibited a number of slips showiu?
the contour of the head of a number
of gentlemen, iucludiug Treasurer
Gilfillan, Col. Ingersoll, Judge Car
ter, W. I. Sibley and Col. Corkhill.
Ia the case of Col. Ingersoll witness
remarked (pointing with his finger) :
'This side appears flat as compared
with the other.'
Guiteau-; That shows Bob and I
are both cracked in the same dir
ection. 'Col. Corkhill'a head,' said the wit
ness, 'has a very marked depression
on one side.'
Guiteau I'll bet you could put
your foot in the depression in his
head.
Witness continuing, said: The
depression is very similar to that
noticed in tho prisoner's head.
Laughter.
Guiteau Oh, he is cracked a great
deal more than I am.
Scoville then asked the witness,
'Will you give your opinion whether
such a letter as that written to a man
ho did not know does not indicate
unsoundness of mind?'
Answer I don't think it indicates
unsoundness of mind. It seems to
me consistent with his character and
habit through life of soliciting
money from sources where he had
no reason to expect it.
Guiteau I don't think so, either.
It only shows what a jackass you
are, Scoville.
Corkhill Your honor, if these in
terruptions on tho part of the pris
oner are to continue I must request
the dock to be placed in another
part of the room.
Scoville (impatiently) You can
place it in the cellar if you want;
we shan't object
Corkhill You can't object.
Scoville Wo don't desire to ob
ject. AH we ask is that you will
make your motion, if you have one
to make, and not harangue the jury
as you did yesterday.
Witness related incidents within
his knowledge of persons who bad
committed crimes while acting un
der the influence of insane delusions,
and defined what he considered in
sane delusions to be. Witness was
then asked if he had ever seen a case
where a person committed a crime
and claimed divine inspiration, and
if so how such persons deported
themselves before and after the act
He replied that in such cases the de
lusion or inspiration as they claim
it to be comes to a person sudden
ly and with intense pressure, and
that such persons act quickly and
npon sudden impulse, delavinsr nei
ther to consider the opportunity nor
weapons, etc.
Guiteau You don't agree with
Abraham, doctor. He took plenty
of time to make his arrangements.
While celebrating high mass in
the church of the Holy Os, iu
London, on the 26th ult., a man was
seized while picking pockets. In
order to effect his escape the culprit
cried "fire." A great panic seized
on the congregation, who rushed for
the doors. In the confusion twelve
women were crushed to death and
others injured. The pickpocket was
soundly beaten by the crowd. A
later dispatch reports thirty deaths
from injuries received during the
panic in the churca.
