A Berlin special of a recent date
says some excitement has been oc
casioned there by the sudden with
drawal of the German minister at
the Hague under circumstances that
appear to threaten a war with the
kingdom of the Netherlands. The
minister, under orders from Bis
marck, made certain demands res
pecting navigation of the Rhine and
protecting German fisheries, which
were coldly received by the minister
of foreign affairs, and Bismarck
ordered the minister to demand a
passport and return to -Berlin. Re
port to force is not improbable!
Galtcaa Trial.
Washington, Dec. 31. '81 Court
convened 'pursuant to adjourn
ment. Dr. Gray was on the stand, and
resumed bis story of his conversa
tion with tho prisoner in jail. He
said nothing of inspiration, or divine
pressure. Witness qualified the
statement by adding ; "I asked him
questions, and ray statement was
based upon his replies and then I
made up my mind." Witness had
seen some forty cases of feigned in
sanity. He did not find a single
circumstance, as narrated by the
prisoner, to indicate insanity. He
thought the prisoner sane. Witness
stated he believed the prisoner had
been feigning in court. He claims
an inspiration from the Deity. I
don't believe he believes any sneb
thing, and in such sense, he is
feigning.
The prisoner and his counsel
made it difficult to examiue this
witness, by their continued inter
ruptions. Court adjourned until Tuesday.
Tuesday Jan. 3, '82.
The trial was resumed this morn
ing. Dr. Gray was still oa the
stand and stated that he did not
believe in emotional insanity or
moral insanity. Kleptomania be
considered simply thieving, diso
mania drunkeuess, and pysomania
incendiarism. Their designations
were simply convenient terms which
had been invented to cover certain
crimes. The witness said insanity
is never transmitted any more than
cancer.
At the close of the examination
of Dr. Gray the counsel for the
prosecution announced the case
closed on the part of the govern
ment. Dr. Bowker, of Kansas City, tes
tified that Mrs. Dourayer told him
in Leadville that she hesitated about
getting a divorce from the prisoner,
because she was not sure but that
he was insane.
Court adjourned until to-morrow.
Wednesday Jan. 4.
Court convened pursuant to ad
journment. J. J. Brooks was examined, said
be visited the prisoner the night of
the shooting, and reproved him as
a murderer ; he replied be was no
murderer, but a christian gentleman.
The act was a public necessity for
the good of the country, aud the
witness being a stalwart, could ap
preciate why be did it; that he had
thought over it and prayed over the
matter for weeks, and became con
vinced that the president must go
by bis haud.
Counsel here disputed about the
admission of testimony, the court
ruling against the prisoner.
The counsel for the prosecution
then submitted their statement of
law points upon which they would
rely aud ask instruction.
The principal point and legal test
of responsibility where insanity is
pleaded in defence is whether the
accused at the time of committing
the act alleged, knew the difference
between right and wroug. That it
at the time of committing the deed,
the prisoner knew the difference
between right aud wroug in respect
of such act; that if he knew what
be was doing, and that what he was
doing was contrary to the law of the
land, he is responsible.
The law points submitted included
three others, but the substance of
all is included in the first.
Court adjourned until Saturday.
Saturday Jan. 7.
Court convened and Davidge
opened the arguments upon the
legal points, being continually in
terrupted by the prisoner. Scoville
and Reed made the opposing argu
ments. Court adjourned until Tuesday.
Tuesday Jan. 10.
When court convened Judge Por
ter began the argument oa the law
points, which was pronounced very
able, and at times eloquent. He
dwelt upon the premeditation of
Guiteau and referred to his lying in
wait and to his dogging the foot
steps of the president ; he said, "was
this worthless vagabond the man to
be selected and inspired by God ?
a cheat, a swindler, a creature of
the vilest habits? He, then, is
junior in the firm of Jesus Christ
& Co. This murderer, tracking his
victim at night, at church, at rail
road stations everywhere, till the
deed is done."
Judge Cox occupied over an hour
in 6tating the law of the case.
All rulings were directly against
the prayers of the defense.
Davidge will make the opening
argument to the jury.
Thursday, Jan. 12.
As soon as court opened, Davidge
took a position in front of the jury
and opened his argument on part of
the prosecution, and while engaged
delivering Mb speech was frequently
interrupted by the prisoner.
The court inquired of counsel if
anything was to be said upon
Guileau's to be heard in making the
closing speech. The prisoner con
tinually interrupting, the court or
dered an adjournment without say
ing the prisoner should be permitted
to speak. Guiteau said he would
not trust the conclusion of his case
to the best lawyer in America.
Friday, Jan. 13, when the court
opened, Davidge resumed his ar
gument, and although interrupted
frequently by the prisoner, it is said
made an able argument reviewing
the history of the prisoner's life,and
applying the evidence to the issue
et up by the defence. Poring bis
speech, he cited from the first chap
ter of S:. James. 13 h to 15th verses,
with thrilling t fleet upon the pris
oner, who exclaimed, "you are put
ting it ail wrong, Davidge; you-are
talking for money, now."
Counsel to-day worried through
the interruptions of the prisoner,
aud concluded bis argument.
January 14tb, when court opened
Judge Cox ruled that the counsel
for the defence might read any part
of the written speecb of the pris
oner that tbey deemed proper to go
to the jury, but as tho prisoner had
abused all the privileges granted
him through the trial, and it was
safe to assume that what he would
say would be highly Improper to go
before the jury, be should therefore
deny him the privilege.
"Guiteau claimed the right as an
American citizen to be heard in ibis
own defense. Let the record sh'ow
that I appear here as my' own coun
sel, and that I take exceptions to
your ruling, Judge Cox."
Reed on the part of the defense
then commenced his argument to the
jury, which was principally confined
to a review of the expert testimony
in trying to how the unreliability
of such testimony, and the danger
of sending a man to the gallows
upon the testimony of doctors. - He
concluded his speecb, and the court
adjourned.

On tho 10th inst., the supreme
court anuounced their decisions in
the following cases, which will be of
interest to many of our readers.
The latter touches on the validity of
the levy of Platte county for bridge
purposes, which was made under
tho advice of B. Millett, Esq., county
attorney. This decision of the su

others, hud declared that the levy
was invalid :

A tax levied for "a county bridge
fund," although not based upon a
previous estimate as directed in the
first clause of the sixth subdivision
of section 25 of the act "concerning
counties and county officers" ap
proved March 1st, 1879, compiled
statutes 179, is valid, and constitutes
a legal basis for a warrant drawn
upon the county treasury for an ex
penditure for bridge purposes.
Court adjourned to Wednesday
moruingat 8:30.
Congressman Valentine has in
troduced the following bills in the
house: For the apportionment of
representatives to Congress, among
the several states; to establish a
branch mint at Omaha ; for the relief
of purchasers and locaters of swamp
and overflowed lands; to establish
an agricultural school in Nebraska
for the education of Indians; for
granting pensions to certain Union
soldiers and sailors who were con
fined in confederate prisons ; for the
confirmation of certain entries under
the timber-culture act; for appoint
ment of commissioners to adjust
claims arising from Indian depreda
tions ; to reimburse the state of Ne
braska for expenditures in protect
ing settlers from hostile Indians in
'61 and '62; explanatory of an act
entitled "An act for a grant of land
to the stats of Kansas to aid in the
construction of the Northern Kan
sas Railroad and Telegraph line,"
approved July 23, 1866 ; to provide
for the appointment of official sten
ographers for the circuit and district
courts of the United States. Ac
cording to this list our Yal. will have
bis hands full this session.
Senator Sherman testified before
the Senate committee investigating
the contingent fund expenditures in
the treasury department while he
was secretary. He disclaimed any
knowledge whatever of irregulari
ties and discrepancies that had been
discovered, and the secretary of the
treasury had too many matters of
weighty importance for his attention
to watch all the minute details of the
department; that he must trust de
tails to subordinates, and could not
possibly have an eye upon all their
acts and accounts. Regarding the
allegation that the treasury work
men had done work upon his house
and been paid out of the contingent
fund, he admitted that men in the
treasury hall bad. been employed
by hira at different times, but bad
been paid for all work they did oat
of his own pocket.
The stock market was active and
strong in New York on the 12th, be
cause of the call for redemption of
$20,000,000 more of extended 6's,
which means the driving of that
amount of money into other securi
ties, and because of the undenied
reported agreement of trunk lines to
submit matters of dispute to arbitra
tion and in a way which means
practical settlement of the railroad
war.
