WASHINGTON ; January Ul. - Not withstanding thu drenching rain , thu court was crowded and hundreds were turned away. More than one-half of the audience were women wearing water proofs. Guiteau took the wit ness chair and said : "I am not afraid I am going to bo shot at. I sit down because I may tiro. May it please the court and nentlomon of the jury. The prosecution pretend I am a wicked man. Scovillo and Reed say 1 am a lunatic. I certainly was oil the 2d ol July , when T fired on the president. The American people generally say I was one. I presume you think I was one. Can you im agine anything more insane than my going to that depot and shooting the president of the United States ? You are here to say whether I was nano or insane at that moment. Remember at that moment , when I tired the shot. Yon have nothing to do with my cindition before or since that shot was lired. If you have any doubt of my siiiity at that moment , you must give mo the bcnerit of that doubt and acquit. If you have any doubt whether I fired the shot on my own account or as the agent of the Deity , you must acquit. If 1 lired it on my own account I was sane. If I tired it , supposing myself the agent of the Deity , I was insane , and you must acquit. That is the law as given in the recent decision in thu New York court of appeals. It rev olutionises the old rule and is a grand step forward in the theory of insanity. It is worthy of this age of railroads , electricity and telephones , and it comes from the progressive state of New York. I have no hesitation in saying it is a special providence in my favor , and ask this court and jury so to consider it. Some of the best people of America think I am the greatest man of this ago [ laughter ] and this feeling is growing. They bo- < ljnve in my inspiration and .that prov idence and I have really saved the na tion another war. My speech setting forth my defense in detail was tele graphed Sunday to all the leaning pa pers in America and published Mon day morning , and now ! am permitted by his honor to address it to you. Only ono mistake occurred in it and that was my fault and I desire to express my indebtedness to the American press for the able way in which they have reported this case. The American press is a vast engine. They generally bring down their man when they open on him. They opened on mo with all their bat teries last July because they did not know my motive and inspiration I II when I shot the president. Now that they know my motive and inspi ration their bitterness has gone. Some editors are doubleheadedthey cnrso you to-day and bless yon to-morrow as they imagine public opinion is for or ag.unst you , which shoe's a very low grade of character. I desire to thank my sister , my brother and my counsel , Mr. Scovillo and Mr. Hoed , for their valuable services on this trial. I intend to give my counsel ample fees , especially Mr. Scovillo. Ho is a staunch man and a hero and I com mend him to Chicago and the north west as a first-class lawyer and Christian gen loman. We have dillbred some what as to the defense ; ho has his theory and I have mine. 1 told him to work his theory for all it was worth and ho has done it in a masterly way and I commend him for it , for hi * zeal and his ability as an advocate. Con sidering the slight experience ho has had as an advocate , he has shown himself a man of marked resources. In other words yon cannot toll what is in a man till ho has a chance to show it. Some men never have a chance and go down in obscurity to the grave. There are plenty of brains in this world , bin it is only the man who has a chance that duvulopcs the fact that ho hut brains. It is brain ! * , op. portunity mid providuncu that makes a great man. I return tlmnka to the marshal and his aids , the superintend ent of police and his force , thu war den of thu jail and keepers , Gon. Ayers and his troops , for the services rendered mo during the trial , I return - turn thanks to this honorable court and to this bright jury for their long and patient attention on this cose. I am not hero as a wrecked man or as a lunatic I am here as a patriot and my speech is as follow ? . " Guiteau then produced a newspaper and settled down to his speech pub lished last Monday. He delivered about half a column from memory ; when his memory gav3 out ho took the newspaper and read from it nip- idly until ho reached striking paeages , all of which he emphasized with pre cision and elocution. When ho reach ed the part daecribing the attempts by Jones to shoot him he put down the paper and , pointing to thu holes in his sleeve made by the ball , said : ' Ladies and gentlemen : I was on my way homo when this occurred. Neo what a narrow escape I had. The Lord protected mo and I am here to addrnss you to-day. Jlo will continue by > to protect and will end this trial with f my complete vindication,1' When ho came to the passage declaring ho had always served the Lord , his vWco fal tered and ho burst out in a lit of cry. ing , in which ho was joined by Mrs. Scovillo and several sympathetic ladies. When ho resumed reading ho declared everybody seemed hadny over the removal of Garfieii | , ex cept , ho said , a few 'cranks , and they will bo happy soon. "Happiness is catchii g , " no said. "ProsidontOarlioldmig it have slipped on an orange peeliiig and broken his neck. It is all a m itter of providence. " At the refer nco to John Brown , ho tried to give ' "glory hallelajah ! " in choruRntylo , biit made a failure. The audience tjltorod. As his want of time became apparent Guitcau at the conclusion of the read ing , maiio an attempt to bo pathetic ; his voice quivered as ho. spoke the closing words and ho looked ) at the jury with great earnestness , There was a sigh of relief when the last word was spoken , and bo sank back apparently exhausted , llhtnmn- nor was studiously dramatic , imd he betrayed a keen sense of his critical situation. At the close of Imspei'di , it was .announced Porter would ho ready tor delivery ol the final argu incut for thu prosecution on Monday and the court then adjourned. WASHINGTON' , January 22. No one was allowed to-day to see Guite&u ex. cept his brother , who reports hiii well and still hopeful. Judge ( Porter expects to speak all during to-mor row's session nnd possibly half of the next day. Judge Cor says that his charge will immediately follow Porter , whatever the time of day , and wil bo about an hour and a half long , am' a verdict can bo expected on day. Smiill Pox- National Associated 1'ri'RS. NKW YOKK , January 21. Inspect ors of the board of health to-day found no less than 12 cases of small po.in this city. Some of them have been concealed for weeks. Lawrence Tooloy , of Philadelphia , arrive'd last night , having traveled in a crowded car from Philadelphia , snll'eriiu' from small pox. Ho was sent to the Iliver- side hospital. In East Thirteenth lit root , live concealed cases were found. The death of ono of the pa tients led to the discovery. Some of the .sufferers have been ill fully two weeks , in which time no isolation has been attempted. Fdur cases were found in East Third street , in a set tlement of Bohemian cigar mukeis. All had active work , keeping them in constant communication with the outer world. The inspectors took away the material they were working on and thoroughly fumigated every thing.

The Albany Deadlock ] National Assoc atcd Press. I ALUAHV , January 22. Edward ICcnrnej and Gcri. Spinohi , Tannliatiy representatives , said yesterday Tarn many m mborsand senators will stand whore they are until next January if need be , rather than to sacrifice the principle which animates them in this contest. They simply refuse to vote for a majority candidate on the antimonopoly - monopoly platform. Tammany con siders concession must be mutual if the deadlock is to be broken. So long as Manning insists on Jacobs for president pro toiu. and other selected candidates , there can be no organiza tion. The people are greatly discon tented with the situation at Albany- , and if wiser counsels do not speedily prevail there will bo a mass conven tion ofgdpmocrats called at an early date to give the peoplean opportunity of expressing themselves in unmistakable - . takablo terms on this important qnes - tion.

Judge Moody , the chairman of the delegation , said : "We wore appoint ed by public meetings held through out tlio territory , called irrespective of party , and the delegation embraces representatives of all political parties. There are more to follow us and the whole delegation will number abuul seventy-live , " "What is your basis for the pro pos'd division ? " "TheKith parallel is the natural line of division. That would give us a state extending from the 4Id ! parallel and the Missouri river on the south to the -Kith parallel on the north , and from the SlOth to the 104th degree of longitude. It would give southcri D.ikota 7 ! > ,000 ( square miles and thu northern portion 7-,000 square miles. " "What is the division of popula tion ? " tion'o " \\'o ' are only able to furnish exact figures on the population by showing the ratio of increase since the census of 1880 as shown by the voting. Wo , in southern Dakota , foot up to 200,000 people for our section , and wo rogarti that under rather than over the truth. Wo are perfectly satisfied of this fact from facts within our knowledge. The vote in 1878. was 10,000 , but ii. 1880 it had risoir to 29,000 , showing ah increase of 55 per cent. " "What will be the political aspects r > ( the proposed admission ? " "Tlio thing is urged by all parties , and the fooling is practically all one way among both parties. Wo are not going to congress on false pretenses , Tlio territory is largely republican , and with the present party issues would undoubtedly remain so. The fact simply is that the territory has . reached that point where it can take earn of itself , and its admission as state has become a positive necessity. ' FOREIGN NEWS. National Associated Proas. Dt'iiu.N ' , January 21. The tuios- tion of liberating Mr. J'.irnell ana the other members of parliament will bo debated at the forthcoming cabinet council in Dunlin Castle. There is much difference of opinion on the subject , some persons high in authority favoring their immediate release. Quinn , assistant secretary to Daviss , ' who had charge of the legal department of the league , and two or three clerks of the United Ireland , will bo released immediately. Mr. Dillon's release may be looked for at any moment. In London there is a rumor that Mr. Parnell and the other imprisoned members of parliament were asked to give an understanding not to continue the land league agita tion fur a certain time. On refusing this , they are not likely to bo roleusod to attend parliament. ST. PhTKHHiiuito , January 21.

CHICAGO , January 21. The trunk line war , which commenced April 18 , 1831 , was settled to-day in the mooting of general froig' t agents of eastern trunk linos. The roads repre sented wore the Grand Trunk , Luke Shore , 1'ittsburi ; , Ft. Wayne & Chicago cage , Baltimore it Ohio and Michigan Central. They adopted a nchedulu according to agreement on east bound freiuht , to go into the pool on a basis of 20 cunts on gram , 25 cents ou pro visions , IHI cents on flour , -10 cents on dresnod beef , to Now York , and all other classes in proportion ; to Boston , 5 cunts additional ti * above rates ; to Albany and I liulHon river points the same as Now York ; to Philadelphia , 5 cents less ; , to Baltimore , 2 cents lcH4. This virtually maintains the differential rates. It is estimated that during the war the increase in tonnage has been 18 per cent , and thu loss of revenue 25 per cent. The airreo mont goes into effect on Men- day next , and Commissioner Fink again assumes his duties 'Niw YOUK , January 21. Commis sioner Fink , referring to the settle ment of the trunk lines diflicultios , aaid he would appoint a committee of three gentlemen not identified with eltherof * the " floabonl cltics'"oi' rail roads , to whom the question will be referred when no agreement can bo reached by the oflicials of the roads on any question of rates or per cent- ages. They will not have arbitrary powers ; they will simply decide all mutters referred to them and report to him. The amount of forfeit money which each road will put up has not been determined. That point , as well as the conditions of the pool for thu division of east and west bound freights nnd passenger traflic nnd the percentage ago to which each cf the roads shall be entitled , is to bo arranged imme diately. There will not be any change in passenger rales at present , but its soon as these other questions are ur ranged the rates will bo restored to the prices which prevailed before the war began. All the roads are now- agreed to the terms an sent them. . A dispatch last night from Mr. Franklin Edison , president of the produce exchange , in reference to the effect of the increase in freight rates between the west and Now York upon the grain trade , nays it cannot fail to have a temporary efl'oct hero , because although the increase is nominally- only from 15 to 20 cunts per 100 pounds , it is really much larger , the rates for grain between Chicago and Now York having really been 10 or 12 cents. "Hither wheat will fail in Chicago or it will go up in Now York. My belief is the price is likely to be only temporary , because adhurancu to published ritei : on thu part of the railroads. Of many trunk line agree ments such as this ono which T have seen made , not one , ( o the best of my belief and information , has hoen re spected mure than ton davs , nnd 1 am sorry to say the Now Yorlc roads are usually the ones to gut the worst of ' the 'cutting' ' on rates.
