" niiCCIIKR ON THK TKIAf. . NKW YOHK , November 25. Speak ing of tlio Guitoau trial in his Thanks giving Rormoii , Henry \Vurd Beechor fliiiJ : "Even the tri.il of that wretch , tardy aa U ii , has been a trial to the spirit of thu people. It shows that a government of h piiio enoous jjeoplo is not , as has been said it must bo , a government of passion. Men waited and waited very long for the process of organized justice and with an assurance of Bocnruy that self government ulono can give. This na tion was grieved by that blow , but not jarred. If it had been not only the the president but the vico-presi- dent and consjroja , it would have boon the saraoevoii jf all the poli ticians had boeri slain. [ Laughter , ] Tho'government would have gone on. Even out of this trial that appears to bo going on at Washington [ laughter ] - there should come a bettor defined doctrine of the liberty and responsibility of thoeo who nro said to btj of unsound mind , and un less there is some such outcome , nil- leaf this doctrine could bo fixed and liVnited very slurply , wo are destined to know not what will bo the waste wf life. Unices it linn this result this trial will only have been a Hpectaclo of an imbecile judga at one end of the com t , a vngr.mt crrninal at tbo other end ; an idiotic c mrt trying to find out at what point a murderer is ins mo. [ Applause. ] Ho who ia sane enough to oig.mizo the element of crime am' ' accomplish it is sane enough to bo hanged. " THE TRIAL- OUITKAU'S APDHKS3. WASHINGTON- , November 25. There was the usual crowd in the court room this morning , and the court , before beginning tlio trial , warned those present ag.iinst any expressions of-ap- ' proval or disipproval.

There was a sharp tilt between Sco villo and D.ividgo over the newspaper -clippings found on Guitoau when ar rested , which ended in Scovillo get ting1 possession of the papers. Gniteuu thonmndnn second speech , saying ho understood his divorced wife was in court , and wanted it un [ derstood th.it if she came there to do him harm ho would rip up her char- acter. There wore Homo things inter esting concerning her career in Phila- - -dolphia. Guitimi's statement made to the court this imruini ; is a long , rambling 'document , in which ho Bays ho in tends to have all the fncts RO before the jury. For this ro-iBon he contin . ually interrupted the counsel and wit nesses , and was determined every fact in his career biuring on the question who lirod that shot , tliu Deity or him , " should bo presented. Jlonco , everything connect id with his person al and theological record must be de veloped. Ho placed great stress on the editorials in the nowjpapoRt last b < Hprincr denouncing Chrliold for using . patronage immicahlo to the republican P rty and Bays ho certainly novar would have shot the president but for them , and they could bear n just portion of the odium nnd responsibility , n * should also the doctors who actually ki'Jod ' him ; an , except for their ire.itnont liu would bo nlivo to-day. 1 lo was not afraid of death and w.n certain of his destiny , ni the Lord inspired tliu act a * ho did in the ciso of Abr.ihim nnd scores of other case * inontioned in tho.

Ho snid in the case of Jones , who fired at him lust H turdoy , he would have boon shot do-id had not tlie homos roared at the moment the guurda allot at him , llo wkod only I that the jury dhposo of the cane 01 thu fads.

Ho liar visited Guitoau in his cell since the shooting , and asked him why lie ( .hot tlio president. Guitcau enid the Lor < ; did it , usinjf him at His instrument. The prisoner was incoherent , anil struck his hands wildly against the wall. Gtiiteau always nppouod sin cere. This waa the limt indication ho over haw of violence In his cross-examination Hood - , tes tified that ho visited 'Uuitonu ' in the cell at the requmt of Scovjlle. Ho never coiUidorod him dangerous , and did not think him incapable of judg ing right Irciin wroni ; .

Ho sat by Seovillo's side during tlio trial and BUggeetod questions llo repeated the a-st'i-tion thatGuiteau's attempt to borrow money was four days before thu allnciliny. Guiteau interrupted : "That , was false ; it was two months before. " fie c uitiiiuod his interruptions until Fudge Cox told him if he did not stop ! io would bo gagged. This silenced "lim. At 12:08 : p. nu no further witness answered and recess for half an hour was declared. After recess the first witness was Herman H. Kmerliog Ho know the GtiitiMii family fourteen years in Freeport - port , 111. The elder Guitcau always believed doctors unnecessary and if people believed in God they would never die. On cross-examination the witness acknowledged ho waa an inti- ma e friend of the Scovillo and Gui teau families and had written to a Mr. Orloy. saying if ho gathered evi dence of the peculiarities of the Gui teau faroiJyJie wou'.d'bc ' ppjiacMl as . a witness and would receive n re muneration from the government. On being further cross-examined ho acknowledged he had actt-d almost as consulting counsel in the case , and had prepared a brief for Scovillo on intamty. Be never know the prisoner personally , but know his father intimately. The next witness w.is Thos. North , of Chicago , a former resident of Free- port. Jlo testified as to the peculiari ties of the older Guitoan , with whom ho wan associated in official town busi ness. Mr. North was cross examined at great length concerning the pe culiarities of tliu elder Guitcau , relat ing an instance when ho commanded a deceased dauuhtir in the nauio of ( Clirist , iid also a sick woman , ttiariBo and walk in thu name of Christ. Neither cumnunds were obeyed. Ho was apparently aincere. The witnuaB was asked if the prisoner resembled his fatlicr. The prosecution objected , but the question was allowed , and the witness eaid ho was an exact facsimile of IIIH father. In referring to the Hacrilicial belief of the eldt-r Guitoau , Mr. North aaitl : One evening in a public meeting , in discussing troubles concerning a cer tain son of a family , ho B.-iid : 'Take knife and slay him as Abraham did Isaac. ' Ho really meant just what ho said. " The witness continued his testimony until . ' ! o'clock , when the court ad journed. Mrs. .Scoville will testify to-morrow , and poBsioly Guitoau.
