GUITEAU
National Associated Press.
WASHINGTON , November 120.-Tho
court room was unusually crowded ,
aiitl hundreds were unable to pain ad-
niittancu. Thu prisoner was calm ,
but paler than yesterday afternoon.
Scuvilto oH > rod to out on oviduncu
the liloomingdalo asylum record ,
allowing that Francis * W. Guitcau
died thcru in 1827. insane.
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. The prison
er said "yes" and the court ad
journed until to-morrow. Largo
crowds were present.

THE REVENUE.
UEl'OHT ANJ > KKUOMMKWDATJONS.
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-

mends a law providing for the manu-

Truth will publish to-morrow an in
terview with Mrs. Lincoln , who is now
residing and undergoing treatment at
Dr. E. I * . Miller's medical baths es-
tiiblifihniunt in this city. Mrs. Lin
coln sat propped upwith ) a pillow on a
sofa in the second btory , in t\ pleas
antly furnished back room. Slid can
not move without assistance. Jlor
chief physical ailment is pinnl dia-
ease , caused by a severe fnll
received while she WUH in Ku-
ropu. Shu ii , in fact , de
serted and next to frioiidlens with
thu exception of her eon Kobcit and
his wife Mary , who visited her at in
tervals of two or tlneo weeks. Ilur
doctor is Dr. L. H. Sayre , who wns
her schoolmate when both were chil
dren in Lexington , Ky. .Mrs. Lin
coln's income at the outside does not
exceed $ ! , 000 pur annum. The treat
ment , which she requires and the cost
of living where she can have the ne
cessary advantiigcs will excuod her in
come. She fouls deeply ni'glodt'd
by her once fond frieml.i and her situ
ation is ono certainly demanding thu
sympathy and consideration of the
people. Her eyes eulfimcd with teuiH
IK dlio related inatanceH of her hub-
band's generosity during the war and
that she had ronmnstiutod with him ,
tearing ho would go out of otlicu in
dobt. Ho said , "never mind , Mary.
I'll go back to law , and with hard
work , " I think 1 can got
together enough to make
in comfortable enough for life , "
"And ho would , too , " said MrH. Lin
coln ; "my husband could not have
lived nnd not worked. With what ho
loaned when ho was president and the
pretttigo his record would have given
him , I believe ho could have earned
many thousand dollars any year. "
Thu condition of Abraham Lincoln n
widow will form a notable comparison
with the situation of thu loved ones of
Grant and Garflvld.
