WAHIUNHTOX , December 27. Dur ing the holiday recess thuro has been conducted n discussion between mem bers of conpross over the policy of President Arthur. The general con clusion is that this will bo a practi cable business administration and ac tively controlled by the president himself. ' On. ) of the loading members of the house ways hud means committee - too , in an interview , states that ho called upon the 'president just after the adjournment for the holiday re cess and was surprised at the extent nnd accuracy of the knowledge that ho had of the legislation probable and desirable during the aesmon. He found him a perfectly clear and posi tive , courteous and delightful conver sationalist. Mention was made con cerning the appointment of a man tea a certain office. The president in stantly became dignified and reserved , and when the conversation had finished made no reply but resumed the conversation on miscellaneous matters. The impression was con voyed that ho was willing to listen to all advices , but was'a determined man and would act ultimately on his own judgment nnd knowledge , and was willing to accept thu respon sibility. lie believes' that the people have the right kind of a man occupying the position of prosi dent. The general toner of numerous conversations ia that tbo president will insist upon an active administra tion , as he believes there is more danger in doing nothing than in the activity of tho-purty responsible. It is known that ho favors liberal ex penditures for improvements and ex tensions of the various branches of the government , and that ho will not tolur.ito any dissensions on account of 'actional differences } no matter from whence emanating , and it is also be lieved that the stalwarts may expect simply fair but not partisan treatment.

He didn't believe in hereditary insanity , As a general rulu the descendants of innano persons did not become insane. The belief that a man would live forever - over , or could euro disease by laying on hands was no evidence of insanity. Guitean interrupted that there woru two kinds of insanity : "Crank" insanity - sanity and "Abraham" insanity , and ho belonged to the Abraham school , Dr. MaoDonald continued that ho did not believe in moral insanity ; it was incruly wickedness or depravity. Emotional insiinity alluded the emo tions , leaving tbn intellect and morals perfectly intact. lie had nuvor soon such a case of monomania as presupposed posed the division of a man's brains into compartments and that depart ment presiding over aoino particular action inielit bo ( Uncased while alt the rest were healthy. He did not believe liovo in such insanity. Transitqry in- sai'ity was the name given to over acts of violence , the man being sane up to the act and right afterwards. Ho had never HUOII auch icaso. . Insane people ple didn't make deliberate prepara tions for thuir acts , but gonoially acted in ,1 moment of passion. They did not show the name judgment in thu selection of thnir victims as sane people. Sane people had a definite motiw. , nnd their vie- tints wore persona against whom they had Bomo grudge , or whom had in jured or disappointed them. Insane people generally attacked thosu near and dear to them. Insane people generally have no fear of the consequences quences of their act , while sane per sons were careful of their own safety and approach their victims from behind.

" Witness said there was no evidence of insanity in the shape of thu pris oner's head or in tbu uxpreasion of his face , and hu buliuyed him n per fectly i ino and ruiponsiblo man. "In my judgment thu niin has been play ing u part in court. I base that opin ion nn my observation of his conduct ia jail , contrasted with his conduct hero during the trial. I have noticed a change in his actions and behavior. In jail , ho is well behaved , gentle manly and courteous. " "I am not abused there , " exclaimed the prisoner. "I think , " continued the witness , "that any insane person showing the excitement and making the interrup tions this prisoner has made would not display the sumo method and the same judgment in the selection of the tiinu lor and the naturu of these in terruptions , The insane person would interrupt only when thu impulse came upon him without any particular re gard to thu evidence being given. I noticed that when the prisoner came aciosa Dr. Spit/.ka's letter ho selected only thoHo sentences to blurt out which were favorable to his case.
