APPORTIONMENT.
Nltlonnl AxjjciatoJ 1'roo.
A JIEW 1'LA.v nmctrssKii ,
Jamnry 1. Under
the previous system of apportioning
the representatives among the several
st ites according to numbers , the pro
cess has been to first fix thu number
of mumbur.i to compodo the hoiibo and
then divide thu whole number of people
ple in the United States by this num
ber which gives thu ratio of represen
tatives or the number of inhabitants
that are entitled to a representative.
In the division of the number
of inhabitants in a state
there is a remainder which
is left until all the states have been
gone through. The number resulting
from even division is cunsc < | iioiitly
less than the number fixed upon and
the difloronco is made up by taking
the state having the largest fractional
remainder , and eo on. until the full
number is reached. But now Air.
Seaton , superintendent , comes in
with a series of tables to show that
this rule is not good , and by its adop
tion small states get more
roj resentatms to the inhabitants
than the largo states. This grows out
of the division of fractions among a
largo number of representatives. The
adoption of the new plan on the
basis of a house of 203 members would
take ono member each from the num
ber they would haveontheold plan from
Minnesota , Connecticut , West Virginia
Nebraska and Rhode Island , and give
to the great states of Pennsylvania ,
New York , Massachusetts , Illinois
and Ohio each man. The same will
affect largo and small' states the same
way , whatever the number may bo.
Aa the largo states throw the
heaviest vote , the chances are
that the new plan will bo adopted ,
but it will not bo until after vigorous
protest aijai'ist departure from the
established usage from the losing
states. The fact that many of the
state legislatures meet in January
makes early action by congress in the
matter of apportionment important ,
' in order that the states may bo redistricted -
fer - districted buforo adjournment. It is ,
therefore , probable this will be ono of
the earliest measures considered in
the IIOUHO , In which" T ay Htie"uiain
contest over it will bo , as it does not
affect the senate.
TREASURY INVESTIGATION.
KltloniU Associated 1'rees
MORE ALLEGED CROOKEDNESS * .
WASHINGTON , January 1. The
Gazette this morning publishes another
long article on the treasury investiga
tion in which it charges that John
Sherman , when secretary of the treas
ury , had an elegant sideboard made
for his housa by a treasury cabinet
maker ; also that the bill for the ova
tion tendered Sherman upon his elec
tion to succeed General Garfield in
the senate was paid out of thu waste
paper fund of the treasury. Tlio same
article charges that a son of Assistant
Secretary French drew 810 per day
for more than a year as assistant to
the architect of the treasury while in
fact lie was in Europe all that time ,
studying sculpture. These are some
of the matters the senate committee , a
so The Gazette alleges , have yet to
turn upon. In regard to the published -
lished editorials to the effect that W.
Paul Brown denied before the com
mittee that ho had ever woiked on
Sherman's house while in government
employ , The Gazette prints a card
from Brown to the effect that the report -
port is a lie ; that as yet ho has not
appeared before the committee and
has no intention of taking back his
former statements.

vhich ho kept on , complaining of
Iraftn trom thu window behind. Th-
uards say ho is vety careful of bis
lealth , fearing cold as much as tiaug

n his ear and Gtiitoau jinnped and
lid : "Ivmt to inform this court ,

The examination of Dr. Gray was
esumed. Ho said that looking over
lie past lifo of Guite.in and eonsider-
ring his physicil condition , ho was
if the opinion that the prisoner had
lever been insane and had never ex
libited any symptoms of insanity.
Scovillo objected to this line of tos
imony and remarked that tlm witness
vas talking to tlio jury. The court
illowod the testimony to go on.
Witnessrasumud : Giiitoau dislayed [
'emarkable ' perception and power
if self-control. Hit ) inspiration
hoory , judging from die witness' cnn-
orsation in the jail with Guiteau , w.is
\n aftetthought.
"That's not so , " s.iid Guitoiu. "I
claim inspiration at the beginning ,
niddlo and end of tliin transaction.
Pho whole thing was derived from
he inspiration making up my mind
ind was the result of the grinding
> ro ° 8uro , and there was where the in
pir.itioncamo in. Get that straight. "
Witness continued : "In oomider-
ng * whither his claim of inspiration
vas , or could be called an insane da-
usion , I took in consideration the fact
.hat ; when a person rec iguizus a delu
sic as an insane delusion , and claims
hat . the delusion is evidence of in
sanity , ho cannot bo insane. No man
who has such a delusion and is insane ,
recognizes ( himself as anything but
sane. When a man recognizes a dc-
usion ( or false belief and reasons upon
t , ho ceases to be insane. "
"I never claimed this was any do-
usion , " cried " Qniteau , " ' tn'n.s.1
JuolfuE Vcrank""How about Abraham
and the thirty-eight cases in the Bible ,
vhoro God Almighty directed people
to kill others ? "
Scovillo objected to the testimony
3 an argument to the jury.
"That's right , " said Guiteau , "the
witness is arguing the case for the
prosecution , nd no export has any
Business to that. Confine yourself to
; ho evidanco , doctor , and not to argu
ment. Porter will do that. '
Judge Porter joined in the laugh-
tor.
Dr. Gray then gave instances of in
sane people killing others under the
belief that they wuro executing the
divine command There was no mis
taking the insanity of these people.
They made no preparation for their
deeds of violence , but acted with
lightning-like swiftness as soon as the
belief took possession of them "
"Did you ever have an Abrahamio
case ? " asked Guitean. ' 'You seem to
have dealt with cranks all your lifo. "
[ Laughter. ]
"Suppose , " asked the district attor
ney , "a man should have murdered
another man and conceived the idea
himself that no person know of his
conception , that his inspiration was
only to do the ijcl , the details beins , '
left to his own judgment , would you
consider his any evidence of an insane
delusion ? "
(
"T would not , " replied the witness.
"What would it indieitcf"
"It would indicate wickedness , "
"Do the insane who claim to have
committed acli under inspiration ever
claim that the inspiration was an in
sane delusion ? "
"I have never had such a ciso un
der my observation , " witness said.
"Insane people never took precau
tions for personal safety and never
appealed to the civil authorities for
protection , "
Witness declared emphatically there
were no circumstances in the act of
issassination of Garfield which indi
cated that it was the act of un insane
man. From his examination of the
prisoner lie had no hesitation in do-
slaring him perfectly sane at present.
Corkhill then submitted the hypo I
thetical question of the defense to the
witness , who answered : "In my
judgment that question cannot bo an
swered yea or no. It refers to the
prisoner at the bar as representing an
imaginary person , and I would not be
willing to answer that question. The
hypothetical case of the prosecution , "
Dr. Gray said , "described a man per
fectly sano. "
BTGuiteau naid the hypothetical ques
tions wore getting Ktalo ; they tnadu
him mud and were falsehoods.
In answer to questions the witness
said he believed the prisoner is acting
a part.
" 1 am not acting a part. I am
acting for the truth , " cried Guitoau.
"lie evidently thinks , " said the
witness , "ho will impress others with
thu idea that ho believes ho had an
inspiration , and has been acting un
der the influence of the Deity and will
bo vindicated in this matter. "
Said Guiteau : "If it takes an act
of God to do it. "
"His conduct , " continued the wit-
ness , "in my judgment is utterly in
consistent with the idea of insanity ,
especially of insanity in which thoru
isdel a claim or in which there exists a
delusion of a command or pressure of
God ( ! ' or any influence nf any kind derived -
rived from the Deity. "
In I thn cross-examination thu wit
ness admitted tlmt in the early part
f his , career he believed in moral in-
Ninity ) , but as ho grow older ho learned
bettor.

Itocess J ,
After recess the prosecuting counsel
st'1 ' boinij behind time , Guiteau arose
and said that as they had untiring to
do ho would furnish his autograph to
all who wanted them without cliarg-
imj for them. Iiu had nnulo nothing
out of them and meant to make none.
Dr. '
Gtay's cross-examination was
then resumed. Doing asked il hu ever
saw the case of u prisoner in court
feigning insanity , ho ansivired "I
have not , considered that thu prisoner
hud made any manifestations of ins in-
ily. I testified ho had endeavored to
impress mo in jail with thn idea that
ho had boon acting under an in pira-
lion. In respect to tlmt I believe he
was foiunini ; and mialoixdini ; by phy-
ini : a p.irt. My opinion is bas tl sole
ly on his actions and dccUfftion in
court. "
W'tness getting warnl over an in-
sin nation bv Scovillc , Guitonn said :
"You are gutting demoralized , dnclor
You must have been out with Cork-
hill last night or else yiiu are mitl'r
ing from remorse. Don't doctors
mimotimes hanir insane people and ox-
amiiiu their biains afterwards to find
out if they nro insane ? ' ' [ L lighter. ]
Mr. Seovillo moved to strike out all
the evidence of the witness on this
point. "He his : in common phase , "
said thft counsel
"Put his foot in it , " suggested thu
prisoner , raising a laugh.
"T was going to Bay lot. the cat out
of the bag , " continued Mr Scovillo ,
"Tho witness hna declared his belief
that the prisoner told a lie and his
whole opinion is based on that , which
is a matter for the jury to pass upon. "
The court slid the witness evidently
formed his opinion from the demon
strations of the prisoner in court and
did not speak in reference to the tes
timony. "
"Yes , that's it , " exclaimed the wit
ness. "My opinion is brined solely
on his conduct and declarations in
court. "
At five minutes to 3 Guitt'an
intimated that it was time to go home.
"To-morrow , " ho said , "will be Now
Year's , 1882. I receive my calls in
jail. Everybody can come that can
t'ot in. I shall bo glad to see any
body that can got in. I wish every
body a happy Now Year. "
The court then adjourned until
Tuesday.
Judge Porter did' ' not come in until
noon and ho was'unusually quiet dur
ing the afternoon session.
Scovillo thinks his surrehuttal tes
timony will occupy about three days
more.
The district attorney will not call
tcVand DrT nc8C\ll \ bo in attend.-
anco in case any further export testi
mony is necessary.
Opinions differ as to when the case
will go to the jury. Corkhill does not
believe the arguments will bo finished
by the end of next week.
WAaniNiTON , January 1. Gnitoau
spent a quiet Sunday. A number of
people called at the { nil , but few were
admitted to the cell of the notorious
criminal. Those who were accorded
this privilege state that the assassin
was in i/ood spirits and confident of
acnuittal.
Scovillo now thinks the trial may
end this week Ho has yet four or
five witnesses who will testify to tlio
insanity of the family.
Col. Corhhill thinks that arguments
will bo in nnd the case submitted to
the jury by Friday.
The prevailing opinion in that the
jury wi'll convict after a few hours'do-
liborution.

Thu mysterious ciuuunftiticoa con
nected with tlijith of n young woman ,
fonnurly n resident of this city , have
given now impetus to the excitement
concerning the iill'air , Tlio facts of
the case point to foul play. A search
ing legal investigation in to bo pnmo
ctttod. Tt seems on September " 01 li
last , Miss S. V. Doup , hotter known
as Junnio Dniii > , I'lotl ' riitliur strangely
in tlio Pennsylvania hotel ixt London ,
Ohio , whsro she was at'opping as the
reputed wife of .1. Gorelle. Tlio body
was brought to Grooncastlo for intor-
inun. Gorollo superintended the trans
portation of the body nnd after burial
published nil obituary notioo stating
that ho had iiiuvrii'd Miss Doup May
14 , 1870 ; that on August 1st , 1880 , n
child was born to thorn lit London ,
Out. , but died u fo\v hours after
birth. The cm mo of the woman's
death was alleged to bo malarial fever
aiid'diaoaso of the heart. The pecu
liar circumstances attending bur
death , the fact that Gorollo wan the
only person who waited upon her and
a number of other strangely appear
ing facts , induced the belief that all
had not been riuht.
In July , 1880 , Miss Doup was
forced to liuvo Wilmington as
she was no longer able to conceal the
evidences of his sin and wont on a
farm in Jennings county , Indiana.
Hero she resided with Gorollo , who
8ylod } hiniHulf .1. Gorello simply but
was in reality James W. r the
legally appointed executor of Jacob
Uinin B estate and the seducer of his
ward. A child was born August 1st
and died almost immediately , not
withstanding it was healthy. The re
creant husband and his paramour
afterwards moved to London , 0. , and
stopped at the Pennsylvania hotel.
She was taken sick , anil died within
a week. Suspicious whispers regarding -
ing the manner of her taking off were
indulged in. Soon the story spread
and Dr. Rogers , the coroner , exhumed
the body for examination November
12th , after six weeks interment. The
autopsy was made by Dra. Rogers
dull-dun recourao agafnsi
any possible criminal. The supnosi-
tiou wan that she might have boon
poisoned by Gorollo in order to secure
her legacy of $30,000 and her stomach
was given to Prof. S. S. Baker , of
the Indiana Asbury nnivcrcity for
analysis. The professor to-day made
the following statement ; " 1 have
made a thorough examination of _ the
stomach and am inclined to believe
death was the result of unnatural
causes. No indication of poisoning ,
but tlio genital organs were ab
sent , loading mo to believe
that violent measures had
boon adopted to procure abortion.
The uterus could not bo found , and
us that is about the last organ to decay -
cay , the fact is very remarkable.
Other evidences suggested that the
woman had been tampered with , as
the other organs were unusually largo
for n normal condition and had the
appearance of recent childbirth. "
Mrs. Davidson , wife of the propri
etor of the Pennsylvania hotel , Lon
don , Ohio , said in answer to inqnrios ;
"Did I think she was sick ? Not
a bit of it. About 11 o'clock
liho came into the kitchen
looking as healthy as any ono could ,
and looked into the pots on the steve
and asked what wo were going to have
for dinner. She was a hearty eater
and took a piece of potato , saying
Gurullo had told her she must not eat
anything , as she was taking medi
cine. "
"Had she ever complained of fool
ing ill ? "
"Nw. She was always in good
health. About 12 o'clock she liad a
spasm , and I went for Dr. Fields.
After the first spasm she asked for
another doctor , hut Gorollo would
not lot us go for another. She hail
more spasms , and died about 3 o'clock
in thu afternoon. "
When was the body taken away ? "
"Tho very next morning. Gorollo
gave her three powders in tlio morning
IIto
ing to take. Hho never appeared to
bo ailing. Gorollo wanted her to take
medicine on Monday , but she would
not. She had intended to go away on
Monday and had everything packed
up. Ho refused to lot her vo. She
died next day. "
Dr. Underwood stated ; "My im
pression is foul play has boon prac
ticed. Tlio sudden and unaccountable ]
death of the baby a year ago , the [
mysterious and unexplained death of
the woman , coupled with the fact that
she had not long before inado her will
in favor of Gorelln , are very auspicious
circumstances and aeom to furnish a
motive for the crimo. "
Old man King , of Mansfield , Ohio ,
an uncle of Miss Doup , said awhile
ago ho believed Gorollo hud secured
the death of old man Doup after iiu
was appointed executor of the old
man's will.
Dr. Shields was asked , "Did you
not state after the woman had died
the symptoms were those of strych
nine ? "
"I might have Haid something of
that kind. 1 sou now that the people
claim she was poisoned. "
"If that is the case , why didn't
they investigate it ? "
"Iain willing to help on any inves
tigation : but do not propino to give
myself away. "

The close of the year finds public
attention concentrated against its will
upon Ireland , where the law is still
delied and order is as fur as ever from
being restored. Mr. Gladstone wan
warned before ho suppressed the
land league that to suppress it would
be to create secret societies of tlio
beWI
White Hey order. Unfortunately
neither the "premier nor iiny member
of . his cabinet known Ireland and the
Irish ' people , and tlm advice was dis
regarded. The prophets never have
been better justified. Mnnstor and
Ciinmuight are honeycombed with
White Hoyism and althouuh the con
stabulary * has been increased by 1,800
men mid the detectives and special
agents teld to spuro no expense in
ferreting out criminals , the list of
outrages grow bigger every day of the
week. The "No Kent" manifesto is
generally obeyed , the government i jl
and the landlords alike boinu uuablo '
to cope with the tenants. This week
Mr. Forstor appointed five special
mngistratos to take charge of the dis
turbed districts. These men have /I
almost plenary powers and it may bo / |
naid that thu sections of country over
which they preside are under martial
orals and tories are ab a loss to know
how to improve it.
