The Lincoln Journal is authority
for saying that the claim of Nebras

In connection with the retirement

dar, Dakota, Pearce and Holt coun
ties for the past two years, or any

lead to an endless amount of liti
gation. James B. Groves, who shot E. P.
Soden, pleaded the other day at

ject,
Galteaa Trlal.
When court opened on Monday,
the 16th, Mr. Scoville began his ad-,
dress to the jury, and when conclud
ed will be the closing address on the
part of the prisoner.
Considering the fact that he does
not claim any experience in the
practice of criminal cases, he made a
fair argument in reviewing the tes
timony, and claimed that the facts
were perverted and particularly the
evidence as to the immorality of the
prisoner. The only allegation that
will hold against him is that of
adultery. Scoville continued his
address (being frequently interrupt
ed by' the prisoner), until the time
of adjournment.
The court met on the morning of
the 17th, and Scoville resumed his
argument, but the 'prisoner inter
rupted him by saying, "had I not
better deliver it now." Scoville
turned to the court and said he de
sires, your honor, to be allowed to
address the jury. I have looked
over the paper and see nothing in it
of an objectionable character.
Judge Cox nodded assent and the
prisoner made his address claiming
"special and Divine authority for his
act in removing the President, and
the jury should acquit on the ground
of transitory mania. Sickles, Mc
Farland and Hiscock were acquitted
on the ground of transitory mania."
Scoville also read from Guiteau's
speech, as well as continued bis own
argument, until the time of ad
journment. When court convened on the
morning of the 18th, Scoville resum
ed his argument, spending consider
able time in discussing the statistics
of insane criminals, introduced in
evidence by the prosecution. An
other portion of his address was
taken up with the political aspect of
the tragedy, which was referred to
In language of great severity. Sco
ville said that such men as Grant
and Conkling and Arthur are mor
ally and intellectually responsible
for this act. Mr. Conkling shall not
escape. He shall not shirk the res
ponsibility of the state of things that
led to this act, and he shall not
escape the condemnation of the
American people if I can help it, for
his share in this disgraceful scramble
for office that led to a conflict with
the chosen ruler of a great nation,
and led this poor, insane man to
compass what they would have re
ceived with satisfaction, as would
hundreds of other politicians, if it
could occur other than through the
assassination of relatives of Garfield
who stood in the way of their un
righteous and disgraceful struggle
for office. He made this attack ex
clusively upon his own responsibili
ty. The time expired before Sco
ville concluded his argument, and it
is thought he may take the whole of
another day to fiuiub his address to
the jury.
When the court met on the morn
ing of the 19th, the prisoner took
occasion to compliment the New
York court of appeals for a recent
decision that conrt made bearing
upon bis case. That court having
decided that the burden of proof
was with the prosecution to prove
that the party charged with the crime
not only committed the act but was
sane at the time of committing it.
Scoville then resumed bis argu
ment to the jury, and continued all
day, commenting upon the evidence
and the conduct of the prisoner, and
reviewing that part of the testimony
which shadowed a motive for the
commission of the crime.
Friday Jan. 20th, the court met
pursuant to adjournment, and Sco
ville at once proceeded with his
argument to the jury, dwelling and
commenting principally upon the
testimony of Dr. Hamilton, nntil
recess. After recess, Scoville con
cluded his address to the jury.
Some question arose about the
prisoner's making a speech to the
jury. Corkhill withdrew all objec
tion to his speaking to the jury.
Judge Cox stated that he had decid
ed to allow the prisoner to speak.
Guiteau, not being prepared to speak
to-day, court adjourned.
January 21st, the court met pursu
ant to adjournment, and immediately
after court was opened, at an intima
tion from Judge Cox, the prisoner
adjusted his glasses, arranged bis
manuscript, and commenced reading
his speech to the jury. After a
somewhat lengthy introduction, in
which he stated the law of the case
thus It is for you to say whether I
was insane or sane when I fired that
shot. You have nothing to do with
my condition since or before I fired
that shot. You. must say by your
verdict, sane or insane at the mo
ment the shot was fired. If you
have doubt of my sanity at the mo
ment, you must give me the benefit
of the doubt, and acquit ; that is, if
you have any doubt whether I fired
that shot, or as the agent of Deity.
If I fired it on my own account, I
was sane. If I fired it, supposing I
was the agent of Deity, I was insane,
and yon must acquit. This is the
record of law given in the recent
decision of the New York conrt of
appeals. It revolntionizes old rules
and is a grand step forward in the
law of insanity: I have no hesita
tion in saying that it is a special
providence in my favor, and I ask
the court and jury to so consider it
From this introduction, he passed to
the reading of his published speech
to the jury, which he concluded in a
very solemn manner, by saying to
the jury, "1 tell you, gentlemen, just
as sore as there is a God Jp heaven, I
if you harm a hair of my head, this
nation will go down in blood. You
can put my body in the grave, but
there is a day of reckoning."
It was anuounced that Judge Por
ter wonld be unable to speak to-day,
and court adjourned uutil Monday.
The Lincoln Democrat takes the
Omaha Bee to task for not wanting
to include in the call Mr an extra
session of the legislature, the sub
ject of an appropriation for the cen
tral body of the capitol building, as
well as the paving of the streets of
Omaha. The Bee, as we think,
makes a timely reply :
"There is a slight difference be
tween the proposition to authorize
Omaha to pave her streets and a
proposition to appropriate money
for completing the state capitol. In
the one case the state isn't asked to
concribute a dime; in the other the
state is expected to add $200,000 to
its tax, of which Omaha would have
to pay at least $20,000. But even in
this case if the state absolutely
needed the central section of the
capitol before the regular session of
the legislature the Omaha Bee wo'd
raise no objection to it. It has been
the habit of the Lincoln papers at
all times to keep up a spirit of an
tagonism between the two cities and
to make believe that Lincoln is a
rival of Omaha, and Omaha is jeal
ous of the growth of Lincoln when,
in fact there is no more rivalry be
tween these cities than there is
between the Omaha Bee and the
Lincoln Democrat."
Our valned lady correspondent
who had some very severe criticisms
to make upon the Guiteau trial,
comes back, when the majesty of the
law is alluded to, with the following :
"But now, as regards the majesty
of law ; I think there is a majesty in
right and justice, but the "Olive'
men are released, and never will
dream of the majesty of 'law. Elas
ticity of lawyer's tongues in con
struing and misconstruing legal lore
is far more sacred to them. I have
been reading how a youth has been
sentenced for 70 years to State's
Prison, for helping to rob a mail
coach. Justice and law seem to be
unevenly tempered. No, you mis
understood. I don't wish to see
Guiteau hanged, but disposed of
justly and quickly placed where,
sane, or insane, he cannot harm any
living being. When our Lord walk
ed upon this earth, He 6eemed to
hold that tbose in high positions
were worthy of the best of guard
ianship, and' held high, in reveren
tial respect, as tho' their holding
their office made them more sacred
or their lives more sacred and being
anointed with power by virtue of
their office, the world or nation was
held responsible for the barm that
came to tbem through their official
enemies.
The State Board of Agriculture,
under date of the 18th inBt., elected
the following officers for the ensuing
year: E. D. Mclntyre, of Seward,
president ; B. Dinsmore, Clay coun
ty, first vice president ; S. M. Bar
ker, Merrick county, second vice
president; C. Hartman, Douglas
county, treasurer; D. H. Wheeler,
Cass county, secretary ; Capt. A. D.
Yocum, Adams county, general su
perintendent ; J. Jenson, Filmore

county; J. C. McBride, Lancaster
.county; R. W. Furnas, Nemaha
county, and L. A. Kent, Kearney
county. The next state fair will be
held at Omaha, from September 11th
to the 16th, inclusive. The appro
priation for speed is $2,100.
D. H. Smith, living near Center
ville, Indiana, was for somo time
past missed from his home, and a
suspicion rested upon his family that
they had murdered him. A large
number of citizens collected to search
the premises, which resulted in find
ing his body in a well covered with
stone, and when his body was bro't
out of the well two bullet holes were
found in his head. Dan Smith, the
youngest son of the murdered man.
has confessed that he killed his
father, which happened in a quarrel
about a horse sale. He shot him
just outside the door, and then drag
ged him to the well and threw him
in. He exonerates all the other
members of the family.
It is stated that Gen. Sherman has
intimated that the military depart
ment of the Platte now located at
Omaha will be divided, and Omaha
will lose both headquarters and the
fort. The General proposes to
merge a part of it with the depart
ment of the Missouri and the other
with that of Dakota. The General
appears to be sensitive on the sub
ject of the removal of the offices to
the city of Omaha from the barracks,
and may, when he takes due time for
reflection, withdraw his intimation
to remove the department entire, If
the offices are moved back to the
barracks.
J. A. Wilmot, a farmer living
near Louisville, Ky., one night last
week murdered bis wife, mother and
two daughters, and then banged
himself. He bad been brooding for
some time past over a security debt
of four hundred dollars that he bad
to pay, and expressed the opinion
tbat tbey wonld come to want. He
was kind to -bis family and was
worth $8,000 or $10,000. It is be
lieved be was insane.
Throughout the eastern states
large and determined meetings are
being held denouncing the system
of polygamy practised in Utah, and
asking congress to take immediate
action to abolish it. There is no
donbt but that the feeling among
the people is deep, accompanied by
a strong determination tbat this last
pstional dUgrtpe shall be eflaced.
Oar California CorrcMpondetace
Ceres, January 7th, 1882.
Editor Journal: The New Year
has come, aud but little rain has
fallen as yet; the valley is very dry
south of ns, aud farmers are anxious
for raiu and fear a failure. A tail
tire of crops makes a failure or near
ly so, in business all around.
One of the things I do not under
stand is why UueJe Samuel's mails
tor Nebraska aud east must take tho
southern route through New Mexi
co. Perhaps some one can explain.
The passenger travel by this route is
quite large.
I see by the Jouunal that Colum
bus and Nebraska generally is stead
ily moving on. No better land need
bo looked for or wanted than you
have, and the markets are improv
ing, aud land-cau be got reasonably
cheap, and I see your coal is not
liitfJi. Put in the machinery and
manufacture for yourselves and
neighbors. The great drawback here
is monopoly in everything. A man
wants for wheat farming, here, $4,
000 or $5,000 to farm on rented laud
in teams and machinery, and the
colony lands are all held at high
rates, $35 to $50 iu state of nature.
You may 6ee occasionally accounts
of government lands in the counties
about Sau Francisco. Yes, plenty
of it in sight of here, where you can
settle iu pleasant weather and hunt
deer and quail, hare, etc. Mount
ains and hills, sand aud rocks
abound, and water seldom. That is
the fact about government land.
There may be, now and then, a spot
an energetic man could make a home
of, but they are a long was apart. I
have no doubt some will find good
passable places among the mountains
when the railroads penetrate these
valleys more extensively, but the
old mountain towns are and have
been declining iu business and pop
ulation for a long time, and the
valley and farming towns gaining;
there is plenty of room iu the valleys
for ten times the population they
have, if the farms were cut up and
better cultivated, and the rivers
turned out on the plains as they
should be, and new settlements and
towns started. This must come in
time. Starting from San Joaquin
Co., there is the Stanislaus, Tuolum
ne, Merced, San Joaquin and King's
and Tulare rivers to draw from.
Were these rivers utilized, as they
should be, thousands of people could
make the finest of homes, Where
sheep, cattle and mustangs graze a
poor living for a time in spring, and
then move up toward the snow line.
King's river has been pretty well
tapped, and colonies are growing in
Tresno Co., and there is room for
200 more of them along the rivers
named. Land is nearly ail sandy
loam, and good for almost anything
raised, even cotton.
When I think of the improvement
and settlement of the country since
I was ten years old aud went away
west to Ohio, from old Chenango
Co., N. Y., and drove an ox team 400
miles or more, I think there is still
as good a chance to get a home iu a
live place as theu. The (act in, Mr.
Turner, a few, live, energetic men in
any one town, bent on making it a
place, and putting their shoulders to
every improvement inaugurated,
and aiding all new comers of that
stripe to cast in their lot with Ihcni,
are sure to make a place. Some such
towns I could name, which by a
clear foresight of a few, have made
the smiling homes and firesides of
many. I trust Columbus is full of
just the right kind of men to push it
forward to distinction.
This Cala. is a grand country,
climate and all considered, but curs
ed with monopolies and Chinamen.
The maiu point is self, hold all and
keep all, land in particular; aud
let money at one per cent, a mouth,
two if possible. The main reason
we have for cursing Chinamen in
this state is, first, they are a nuisance
in auy town by their habits and
manner of living, and second, are of
no benefit to merchants or mechan
ics, aB they send all they make away,
and not aid but drain a place by so
doing, third, prevent even washer
women from making a living by
taking the work from them, as they
are in every place, and as plenty 36
frogs in Egypt, live cheap, and spend
nothing or next to nothing. Very
few want the Chinamen to 6tay here ;
no matter what the good people east
may think abont us, they may have
them aud welcome. C. Lee.
Judge Barrett in the supreme
court in New York granted the
other day an attachment against
property in that city of W. H. Eng
lish, democratic candidate for vice
president at the last presidential
election. The attachment was based
upon a suit brought against English
by Wm. D. Mnrphy, for $1,000, who
claims tbat be delivered speeches in
Indiana in behalf of the democratic
ticket, and for which he has received
no pay, notwithstanding the fact, as
he says, tbat English premised.
"Foreclose" on him.
There is a bill uow pending in
congress for expediting dead letters
to their writers, as at present all
such letters have to be returned to
Washington and await the slow ac
tion of the dead letter department,
very much to the annoyance and
I sometimes to the injury of the wri
ters. The bill proposes to establish
several dead letter offices in differ
ent parts of the country, which will
insure more prompt returns, if the
bill should become a law.
It is stated that owing to the filli
bustering of Messrs. Randall, Sam
Cox, Springer and other democrats,
the proposition to suspend the rules,
and to put Mr. Burrow's anti-polygamy
bill on it6 passage was defeated.
The democrats have tbns staved off
thequestion without showing wheth
er they will be with or opposed to
the anti-Mormon crusade of the Re
publican party.

Pension commissioner Dudley has
made a ruling that when a soldier
was captured in good health aud is
now an iuyalid as the result of im
prisonment the presumption is that
he contracted his disability in the
line of his duty ; also if a soldier was
captured iu the line of duty aud not'
heard of again the presumption is
that he is dead and his widow is
entitled to a pension, even though
the proofs of death are not produced.
Representative VALKNTiNE.chair
mnn of the Agricultural committee,

mittee asking an appropriation of

It is understood the defense in the
Guiteau case will, at the close of
Scoville's speech, renew the motion
to allow the prisoner to address the
jury, aud will be asked to be heard
in support of the motion. This, if
permitted, will consume another day,
and, allowing Porter two or perhaps
three days, the case will hardly get
to the jury before Wednesday of
this week.
Guiteau's speech contains no new
points, but the same old theory be
has announced all the way through
that his case did not contain the first
element of murder, that neither
malice iu law or malice in fact ex
isted, that Deity inspired the act
that removed the President to save
the country from another devastat
ing war, aud nnito a great political
party.
An interesting and important suit
was reccutly decided at Keokuk,
la., in which the Chicago, Milwau
kee & St. Paul II. R. Co. was plain
tiff, aud the Sioux City & St. Paul
R. R. Co. defendant, judges Love
and McCreary, of the U. S. district
