The Matter Finally lieforred to the Committee ou Elections. When It Will Probably bo Decided iu Cmnpbnll' * Favor- CONGKESS. l'lU > < 'iHltIMIS IN TIIK KKNATK. WAHIHNOTOX , January 10. A mini- bor of bills , mostly of a private imtnro , were reported from the cointnitteu on claims , pensions , military alfiiirs , judi ciary and linmico. Mr. Merrill , from the Inttor , 10- ] > ortud n substitute for the bill fixing the tcitn of collectors of internal ruv- enuo. At liiMii Mr. Hnynnl reported ad versely on 11 iu Garland turill'COIIIIMIH - sioti hill and favorably onlorrill'i ] \ : bill for the satno purpose and addruss- xl the senate on the two proponed measures. Jlis flpoech was a nuvero criticism of thu prcaqnt turilT la whicli , he said , however proper when erected , now oner.itu greatly to the injury of thu ixiuntry. He advocated the appointment of a committed of ox- pertn outside of conpross to consider the whole subject as the mode imml likely to bu productive of the most jjood. I'UOCKKItlMJS IN TIIK HOI'HI ! . After the reading of the ininutus Mr. ItnsRon prcnented n memorial on the life ami services of 0. t ) . Patterson - son , late head of the const survey. Itofcrrcu to a special committee. On motion of Mr. Williams ( Wis. ) Wednesday , the 2iith , was fixed for memorial services of the late Senator Carpenter. UoMJmniit Wood , of New York , was Hworn in an a member of the house. The question of the admission of Allen I ! . Campbell , of Utah , wan then called up on n resolution to seat him. Mr. Ituod oll'ered a resolution to ro- fcr the case to the committee on elec tions. tions.Mr. Mr. lliukcll opened the argument by claiming the right of Campbell to be sworn in , as ho had the certificate of election from the governor of Utah , lie said the customs of thu house rcquiro the acceptance of the governor's certificate. ' 'Tlioru in , " lie said , ' 'no p.ioer sent by any oflicer of Utah indicating that any one elae ia entitled to the eoat " Mr. ll.iakell closed by Haying , "Ilow will the country look upon n house and a party that lias always ac ceptcd n custom of this kind now de rived from tlio scarlet-robed women that dixgrnco the mountain ! ) of Utah ? " Mr. Cox ( New York ) said the cane' ought to go prinui facia and ull to the committee on elections. lie thought the clerk had done right in putting Cannon's name on the roll , but the speaker having overruled it' , it should now go to the committee. This man who brings this credential received but 1- 357 votes , while the other received 18,864. The claim tliat Cannon was not a naturalized citizen should be submitted to the committee and not bo brought up hero. I know what tliis opposition means. It means that the people of this country are op posed to polygamy. They are not will ing to admit this man. The question of polygamy is n grave one , and must bo dealt with , and that early , and al though the people of that territory claim for it some virtues , I boliuvo this side ot the house will bo as earnest in this when the proper time comes as is the other , but wo have no right to permit thia question to bo considered in such a case as this. If you choose to wipe out the evil by any reasonable process , by division of the territory or other process , wo will bo with you. Wo have boon talking of this for years. Even your President Arthur , in his late message , urged that it bo wiped out ; but you do not do it. It in , I know , a difficult subject to deal with , thin cancer upon our body politio , but there nro other questions that niUHtbo considered in this ease , and this is not oue to be now discussed. Why , if Solomon , with his kingdom and plural wives , were to como here elected to a seat , the gentleman from Kansas would cry out about scarlet robed women , and had that gentleman been present when it was Eaid , "Let him that is withoutain among you caa t the first stone , " the gentleman would doubtless reach for a boulder of the glacial period and mush the poor woman flat. [ Laughter , ] Mr. Hoed was glad tohoar/rom the gentleman1 that his party would join with the republicans in crushing out polygamy. They failed in destroying that twin evil , slavery , and ho was glad they were now coming to the aid of the party in this equally im- jwrtaut matter. However , that has no hearing ok the ma-sUim now before us , the membership of Allen G. Campbell. Wo ( ire informed by the record that Cannon received 18- , 851 votes , and Campbell but li ! { > 7 , The case tthould bo examined by the committee on elections , and the cer tificate bused upon the supposition of non-citizenship by an opposing candi date should not bo received as the only evidence needed , Mr. McCoid ( of Iowa ) sent to the stMjakor's desk u resolution in effect that it is the duty of Congress to wholly absolve the government from the uulfranco of polygamy and that it was inconsistent of the rights und the dignity of the house that a territory no defying the law bo recogni/.ed , and that all delegates claiming seals from the territory bo disqualified and their coses bo referred to the committee on elections with directions to prepare a 1)111 carrying in effect the judgment of the house regarding polygamy as a crime and disgrace to the nation. It vraa declared out of order. Mr. Mo- Odd occupied his time in a speech against polygamy with which IH > ono appeared to liiko issue. Mr. Burrows ( of Michigan ) , said the question ot polygamy hat nothing to do with the ubjuct. Jlu hoped when ( ho proper time cunio to argue upon polygamy there would bo no dif- foit < nco between the Man of the house regarding thin. The qui's lion now IB whether tlio Campbell cor lificalo from the governor wan not prima facie evidence. Ho thought it wan nnd Campbell should l > o seated. Mr. Hrowno snoko in favor of re ceiving the certificate of the governor , as it is tlio only record the house lias of the election of anybody. Mr. Van Voorhis spoke briclly in favor of seating on prima facie evidence denco Mr. ConverBO claimed the gover- nor'n record was based upon thobool : of Iho secretary of state , winch have been prusonted and all printed in the Congressional Hecord nnd ii a stronger certificate of election than the document by the governor to scat Campbell. This sralem cut that Can non had I8,8T > 1 and Campbell I'ir > 7 h made over the governor s signature. llo denounced the attempt to seat a man iccoiving 1100 ! votes over one receiving over 18,000 us a trick and act agaiimt the spirit of our govern meiit. Mr. Hiscock said ho de sired to say a few words in regard to the rt'inatks of hia colleague ( Mr. Cox ) who spoke of the system haung itH virtii" Mr Cox responded promptly lhat ho did not t > o slate , hill ntaled that the advocates of Morinonism claimed virtue for it. Mr. Hiscock H.iid ho accepted with pleasure the correction of _ his friend , because ho did not want him to go be fore the people tin having made mich a statement. [ Laughter. ] Regarding the remarks of Mr. Converse ho said : The papers which wore read in con gress were not part of the certificate or oven signed by the governor , but merely preceded his certificate in tlie Congressional Record , and thin in fol lowed by his signature a governor. llo was , however , opposed to giving any governor the right to do- U'nnino who shall he u member of the houso. He was of the opinion that the cnso should bo i of erred to the committee on elections. Mr. Cox , as Mr. Hiscock con cluded. Honing to his feet and asked the privilege of replying to what ho considered a personal attack , llo wanted it understood that he was a responsible tnemher from Now York and did not ronrcuont any ono idea and community. The question in not only one studying and asking how to rid our nation of this cess-pool of crime I said that if the measures are pre sented by your side which will do this , wo will vote for them. How l ( ng have your party been in power , and how often have you tried lo eiad- icate this twin evil with slavery , as you call it ? 1 am willing to go befoio the country on the gentleman's state ment that 1 in any way spoke approvingly of this system , and I abhor it , recognising tlio mor ganatic inarria'jo as the great mil of society. As that which creates our household and happiness , as 1 love the memory of my mother , and an 1 respect thai which is noblest in our social livi'H. by all that , is sacred and lioly , 1 pledge my aid and I believe I nay expect that of my collcngucs in .he work of exterminating Iho evil. 'Applause. ] Mr. Robcnon followed , saying that lie waa when argument began in favor of admitting Campbell to a seat , but liid now , after an examination and [ tearing the presentation of facts , de cided that the case ought to go to the committee. * * Air. Marsh offered an amendment to ho amondmrtifc , which wns rul&l ont of order. Mr. Haskoll presented a series of resolutions he desired adopted aa in structions to the committee , if the casewaa referred. They stated that nobody Mipporting , practicing or leaching polygamy should bo admitted a member of congress , lluled out of order , and a vote was then taken and Air. Itcod's resolution to refer the ; aao to the committee on elections was carried 18 ! ) to 21 , all Democrats voting in the alllrmativo. Tlio house adjourned at HMD p. in. The house committee on commerce hiia decided to hear no delegation ex cept through members of congress. One exception is made , in the case of the Mississippi commission , who will bo heard by the committee on Friday. Short BroathT O. Bortli' , liliuichcxtcr , N.

National Aiworlatinl 1'nws. WAHIIINUTOX , January 10. .Judge 3ox as soon as ho reached his place at mco ordered the counsel to proceed , fn Ihis way ho cut off ( luiteau from unking the speech ho waa about to begin. Judge I'orlor opened for the prose cution , llo said Iteod was an intelli gible opponent , as he presented what tie had to miy in a clear and tangible shape , while Scoville , sho\nng neither learning nor law , appeared bent on creating nil possible confusion , Citntuau ; "That's a fine speech , lletter let up now , jiulgo , and I prom- so that Scovillo won't do it again. " Laughter. Porter , continuing , laid on him the jlnino for all scandal and delay in the case , saying the prosecution had done nothing but present their case with out trickery , without any whining ippoal to Bonlimontality , without uu- seoinly exhibitions , Ho regretted Hint what Scovillo termed his "antique style of oratory" troubled Lho defense , but could not regret that he had not , as Ouifoau evidently had , studied at the feet of a lawyer from the weatorn woods \Viricousin. . The iusas nation was badly and deliberately ately planned and cowardly executed. "That's a lie ! ' bawled Ouituau. "If it is n lie , " exclaimed .ludgo 1'orter , "it is ono that has been sworn to by thu prisoner himself. " "It is ( false. It is n falsehood , " cried Guilt-ail , shrinking back from the lawyer's eteady stare mm pointed linger. "It ia false in the way you put it. " "Your honor known , " went on the lawyer , "that four days after Ouitt-au conceived thin awful crime of mur dering I'rt'uiduijt Uarfiold , according to his own testimony , ho t'uvo Mr. liluino emu more chance in regard t < i the Parib consulship , \\hon ho was aguin refused , ho Ihreafenod that if Mr. Jiluhiu was not removed the ad ministration would como to grief , " "That'll absolutely false , " cried Guiteau. "Tho prisoner presumes to deliver his own chnrg lo Iho jury , " said Per ter. "Ho has already had too much to do with thin trial , hut if ho pro- sumcs further to do anything in n sentiment contrary to law , ho will ex ceed Iho bounds of all endurable ef frontery. " "Oh , " snarled Iho prisoner , "you were nppoinled by President Arthur titular a misapprehension. You had boiler got n paper of tobacco and go home. "I was appointed , " said Porter "under the misapprehension that the law wns slronger than f juitcnu , but find lhal Iho prisoner lliinks ho is stronger than i Iho law. " "I think the Almighty isBtronger than the law , " retorted Cuitenit. "Tho prisoner will go presently be fore n higher tribunal than Ihis and liad belter reserve his remarks of the Judge who shall then judge him until ho goes into ( hat presence , Ho will feel soon what ho has never felt before fore- interposition in the form of a hangman's rope. " | .Sensation. ] The speaker t lien referred to the significance of that part of Scovillo s recent lecture in which ho lauded the judge before whom lip was Irying u case. IIo hud also noticed that when the prisoner sat near his counsel ho was a readier rotorter and more homo up in his in terjections than since ho had been compelled to wit furlhur away. The prinonur seemed to overlook that nil Iheso intorjeclioiiH were but precipjta- ting his doom. The ns assm's time was Htvf Hhorl and would soon end by Iho slrength of Iho law. "I deny no law , " said Ciuiloau. "Tho law is on my side. You would not talk HO hig unless you werunfiaid of this fact. " "The prisoner mi ht claim that ho was predestined lo kill Cen. C'arfiold , " continued the counsel. "He will find soon that some power has predestined him to lie hanged. " " \Vo have not got to that point yet , " shrieked Guitcnu , gesticulating madly , "and wo never will gel lo that point. Thu Lord will fix the thing in ipito of all you lawyers. You bigmouthed - mouthed Porter , you have a mouth for a whole family. " [ Luighter. j Porter referred to the absurd claim of the prisoner thai ho was on terms of familiarily with eminent men like Grant , Conkling and Arthur. "If Iho latter had seen the uplifted arm of Iho murderer on lhald day of July , Ciuitoau Would have felt n blow like that of a hand of iron which would havii paralyzed him forever " [ Applause ] The decisions of most all courts wore in iho favor of the prose cution. II was well proven that a prisoner must establish to the patis- faction of the jury the fact lhat he could not distinguish bdweim righl and \\rong before Jio could be declared leg.illy insane. Guiteau interrupted at almost every Benlencu , denouncing the counsel in vulgar terms and exclaiming aloud his linn belief in divine protection and claiming ho had uavod the republic. Portojr retorted on every occassion and described the crime in all its honi- OIIUIICHS. llo drew a startling and dramatic picture of the scene of the assassination and pointed out in words quivering with scorn the falsily of the nsBikssin'a claim to inspiration by the Deky. "It wan , " said he , " .in egro iious absurdity for n worthless vaga bond to think ho was qualified by n lifo of swindling , : * of crime , of beg gary , of wrong and of adultery , for any oflico in the gift of tho'president of the United States. " Porter said Scovillo noemcd rather to enjoy the vulgarity and blasphemy of his pupil Guiteau , "Ha ! ha ! " laughed Guitoau , "stu- dent of Scoville. That's good. 1 never know that before. I always thought Scovillo was my pupil. " Laughter ] Further on when the counsel was eloquently declaiming in re nrd to the end of the trial and mentioned the galleon several times , the assassin , pounding the rail vigorously , cried : "Now look hero. I want to toll you I will take the consequences of my acl. I am not afraid to go the gallows to-morrow , if God will loud his sup port. I don't want nny more of this bosh. I'm glad , however , you nro making your speech. It will ho stale when it got to the jury. " Porter read n complimentary letter by Gartleld to n judge who had de clared emphatically in a charge against n plea of insanity in a murder case and Baid : "TJioao words como up from the grave of the martyred President appealing that his assassin should meet the punishment provided by law. " Judge Cox , in his decision of the question of jurisdiction ahowud the authorities of England favor jurisdic tion whore the wound was inflicted but the authorities of this country are about , equally divided ; therefore ho would decide by common sense that jurisdiction WM complete where the wound was inflicted , saying lhat if : \ crime needed a locality in order to make it punishable , thu only proper way to locali/o ( it was to niako it pun ishable where committed. "I am glad , " exclaimed Guiteau , "your honor has excluded the thir teenth prayer , It was put in without my consent. " Judge Cox then took up thu prayers of the prosecution regarding the limit of responsibility in alleged insanity. His address occupied Iwo hours. J. W. Guiteau pronounced it fair mill Inmost and he was satisfied with its law , Scovillo wants tjvo more days to ar gue. D.ivulgo will UBO four hours opening for the prosecution. Guitean wants two hours. The court said ho would sit until ! p. in. hereafter. Court adjourned until Thursday. Guitenu will bo engaged all day to morrow on his speech to the jury , General comment on Judge Cox's decisions to-day is that they are ab solutely adverse to the defense. The full text of the two instructions re garding insanity allowed by Judge Cox is as follows ; Kiwt. The legal test of responsibil ity when insanity is net up us n defense for alleged crime is whether the ac cused at the time of committing the net charged knew the difference be tween right nnd wrong of connnilting Buch net. Second. If the jury find the de fendant committed thu act charged and at the time thereof know what ho was doing was contrary t the law , it constituted no excuse , oven if it wore true that when ho committed the act ho really believed he was produc ing n great publio benefit nnd the death of the president was required for the good of the American people. Nor would nucli cxciuo ho afforded by the fact that in the commission or the act ho Has controlled byn moral sense , whether innate or acquired , oven by evil visions or indifference to moral obligations , and even if the jury find thu defendant , ns a result of his own reasoning and reflection , arrived at the determination to kill the presi dent , nnd rut n further result of his own reasoning and reflection believed his own nnid purpose wai ap proved or stii/Kested or inspired by the Deity , such belief would afford no excuse ; but it would be different , nnd ho would not bo ro- snoimiblo criminally if done under the influence and an a product of ill- sail o mental delusion thai the Deitv had commanded him to do the net and had taken possession of his mind , not as a result of his own reflection , but independently of his will and reason , and with such force as to deprive him of Iho dpgreo of reason necessary to distinguish between right and wrong as to the particular act. in such case , even if ho know thai nis act wns in violation of the law of the land. Ho Tould not be responsible if his reason was BO perverted by the insanity that he wm : incapable of understanding the obligation of the law of the land , and lhat the act was wrong as a violation lation of that law and wrong in itself.
