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.

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.

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.
