The prosecution admitted the fact , and the prisoner then resumed the witness stand mid walked to the box between two otticors and glanced ner vously around. As ho took his seat , Guitoau asked if ho was on as a rouular witness or to identify papers. Scoyillo replied that the papers were identitied and ho wished now to ask him a few questions. Guitcau 8.xid it was all ri ht if ho was not cross-examined. Ho did not want the prosecution to take advan tage of his oresont condition ; ho hart not been very well for several days. Scoville said it ho were too ill to proceed the court would probably sus pend the examination. The prosecution objected and the court decided ho could not suspend unless both sides agreed. It was then arranged Scovillo should read in evi dence the letters identified yesterday. HI Guiteau asked permission to resuino his regular seat which was allowed and bngaii waiting vigorously. Scovillo read the letters written by Guiteau to his father from school , in Chicago , detailing his expenditures of moneys etc. During the reading' Mrs. Scovillo offered the prisoner her smelling salts , saying : "Do you feel faint , Charlie ? " The prisoner replied : "No , I slept well last night , but do it r not want to go on the stand till 1 have .some notice of it. " One letter wan signed "C. Julius G. " The prisoner interrupted , Buy ing he must have been pretty crank to sign a letter that way. Another letter , ho explained , was written when ho wa seventeen years old and badly cranked too. "Many lettorn were from the Oneida community -and Guiteau interrupted to say ho was ashamed of that fanati cism and.wiehed the letters were not introduced. 'One letter was about publishing a thoocractic newspaper ; another that ho believed only in serv ing God. Both were approved by Guiteau. He took every opportuuity to abuse the Oneida community. Thu reading of the letters wore fnmkcd at noon and Guiteau resumed the stand , answering questions in a straightfor ward manner upon that .subject. Gui- toau continued , that while ho was at Aim Arbor in school his father wrote a number of letters to him which re sulted in hit. joining the community which was a system of fanaticism which enabled Noyea to sleep with young girls. Krery such remark its this called out more or less laughter , but during the entire testimony neither court or government coumel interfered at all. lie told how lie rode from town to town. S.iid ho : "Now you may call mo a dead beat , but I call it working for the Lord. If I had money I oaid it ; if not , 1 didn't worry about it. The Lord had charge of mo aud if I could not pay my board I let the Lord settle it. " At this point Guitcau bccaino ex cited and yioious , and said it was claimed that people would bo damned if they did not bulievo in fanaticism. Ho was thus led to review his child hood. Ho said hu father used to com pel the children at the table to say they thanked God for John H. Noyes , the Oneida community , ttc. His father was u crank on the subject. Scovillo asked what ho meant by "crank , " and ho replied that ho was badly insane on that point. His was a queer kind , and he fell into his ways. Ho wn.s in dead earnest until hit gut into Bt'echi'r's church , and hu added , "Hoechor was viitmnis then.1 Amid the laugh that followed , reeiSJ wan taken. After recess the prisoner resumed the stand and reiterated his disgust of the Oneida eommnni'V. He recounted - , counted the efforts to start' the Theocrat - crat and its failure , and his return to the community and principles. Ho was so haunted lie feared ho would bo damnoJ. Ho intended the pput- should bo the organ of the Deity and church benevolent associations , and remained in the community one year. Once while thcro they threatened to blow him up. Ho finally decided to have nothing to do with the cursed thing. At this point , Giiiteiuiwuloa speech to the crowd in rourt ; that ho was a slave there , thought ho would go to hell If ho recanted the doctrines and \ was an almost cranked man , and all the while he did not know but what ho was going to hell. Ho wont to Now York under the influence of Christian associations. The nc.ilus were removed from his eyes , and hu applied for an editorial position on the Now York Tribune , the Independ ent , and in Now Haven , but all wuro crammed , jammed full. The priaonur continued : Ho was admitted to the bar in 1801 ; hid plenty of business , which ho secured mainly on his personal appearance. Ho remained in Chicago until 1871. Ho was there at the time of the lire. Ho came to New York and was ar- rusted for not paying a board bill. He was kept in the tombs thirty days but was not arraigned , and never was until the present case. Ho Mt lie red mental agony ; the lowest New York bummers were put in his cell , After that lie resumed the law business. He tried to purchase the Chicago Inter-Ocean. He offered to make one man governor of Illinois if he would advance part of the $75,000 needed. Ho got $25,000 out of his old friend , Charles llcud. Ho hud ar ranged about the building , prewco , and dispatch arrangements , and news paper men favored the shcmo , About tins time ho sued the Now Yoik Her ald for $100,000 , This was a cranky proceeding. "If 1 Imd sued for $25- 000 , I would probably have got § 10. " Bennett's lawyer thought hoai "cranky" for auoing for s largo an amount , and the prisoner was sorry ho had not put it lower. He then took up his lecture experi ence. Once ho epoko in Chicago. It wns a very bad night , and ho spoke only a short time. A reporter there grvo him a "rattling. " "It made fun of mo and when I asked the city editor to correct it , ho said : 'Why it is the laugli and talk of the city and I would not spoil it for any tiling. ' Thnt is the way , the papers are quick to make mistakes , but'niow to correct them. The peope ! didn't like my ideas of the second coming jand thought 1 was cranky , but I Know the l ird was back of mo and" I stuck to it. " He considered himself as much inspired as the Apostle Pafal. Wherever ho lectured hn found people who thought ho wiis cranky. Ho drifted to Washington in the fall of 1877. Ho afterwards went to Boston ) ; Providence , etc His memory of all these details mis excellent. At 2:55 : Corkhill suggested that Guiteau must Wtried.

WASHINGTON , November 29. The annual rcixirt of the commissioner of internal revenue submitted to-day , shown the receipts .for the last fiscal year were 8135,229,1)12 ) 30 , and the receipts for the first four months of the present year § 50,870,970 11 , an increase which , if maintained during the present year , "vill bring the ag gregate up to $137yOOO,000. Re ferring to the general discussion as to the propriety of reducing the income of the government , by reducing or dropping certain tares , the commis sioner says : When -the government will allow the reduction ' of internal taxation , it would be wise to confine these taxes to distilled spirits , malt liquors , tobacco , and such products , and to special taxes upon manufac turer , ) and dealers in these articles , and to fix such taxes as would yield the amount of revenue necessary to bo raised from those sources. The re ceipts from tobacco this year were 842,854.991. III. The report also says that all collectors have made full ac counts for public money in thuir hands , and that the entire expense of collections during the past five years has been ! i S7-100 per cent of the amount collected. The largest col lections were tnado in the First Ohio district , and the next in the Fifth district of Illinois. Note also is made of the fact that during the past fwjriara illioit distil ling has been reduced to a minimum and the illicit manufacture of tobacco for the most part hao been abandoned. There is more cordiality between the government and state officials and a growing disposition on the part of tax payers fo obey the laws. There should ho laws for punishment in the United States courts of those killing or mak ing an attempt upon ollicorn of the United States. Now there is only the United States law Against conspi racy toobstruct enforcement of the law ; for this the penalty is a lino. It also recommends that the legislature au- thon/.o pensions to the widowaud chil dren of oflicers killed in trying to enforce the law. Objections are made to the feea and allowance cystcm and regular salaries to United States mar shals is recommended. On' thu sub ject of civil Ht-rvicp the commis ionur thinks the adoption of this system would embody the following ideas : First RsUhluhniont of a term of oflico of four years for subordinate ollictTH , clerks and employees. Second - - Requiring all applicants for appointment to bo well endorsed as to character and stand proper ex amination as to attainment * . Third --Temporary appointment for one year , FourthIf found worthy , a temporary ary ollieur or dork to bo appointed for three yours , the b.ilanco of a regular toim of four yeais. Fifth The officer or clerk to bo ol'giblt ' ) for roappointnient. . sixth As a stimulus for the excrcitto of marked capacity , fidelity aud.ual in the service , the pay of 10 per cent of the clerks in each bureau to be Increased - creased fi per cent up m proper certi ficates at the commencement of each fiscal year. Seventh Promotions to bo upon merit , ascertained by examination and certified to by the heads of bureaus Eighth Cauai-a for removal to bo dishonesty , incapacity , neglect of duty , insubordination , intemperance , immorality or iinbility. Ninth -Pet-sum retiring without fault receive an honorable dis- churgo. TouUi Subordinate. ojlicerH , clerks and employees retired without fault after a service of four years to receive a retiring nay , equal to one months' pay for each fraction of u year of nor- vice. vice.Tho The commissioner rcnoriM his recom mendations of the tenure of collectors of internal revenue , to bo fixed at four years , approves the plan of placing individual a stamps on cigats , recom mends a law providing for the manu- fncturcrs of yinecur by alcohol , ex presses the opinion that there in too great a production of spirits in the United States , which , however , the poor grain crop may remedy , atul asks an increase of the salaries of thr > deputy commissioners and of the five heads of divisions.
