SIJBEEIRRS CASE.

Of this much talkul of appoitnment the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial says: "There has not, for a number of years, been such a persistent tootiog of horns about anybody's elevation to a cabinet position as has been going on here for four or five weeks about the supposed prospects of Mr. Sargent, of California, being called to the head of the interior department. The day for hiB nomination has been publicly or privately set by his friends at least half a dozen times, snd there has been an almost daily assertion that ha was certain to have the place. Mr. Sargent, it is generally understood, has himself given frequent semi-public assurances to his friends to this effect. Tbe practical purpose subserved by these positive assertions is said to be this: Mr. Sargent has been and is interested as counsel or otherwise in a number of cases before the interior department. The examination of such cases is necessarily intrusted to subordinates, clerks and others who, if they can be persuaded that Mr. Sargent is to be the next secretary of the interior, will at least be very happy if they can find facts which would lead to decisions favorable to Mr, Sargent, and who, besides, would make uncommon hsste to bring these eases to a close if he were soon to be their master. It would thus appear that even if Mr. SaTgent should not become secretary of the interior, the pains which have been taken so long and industriously to persuade the public that he would certainly get the appointment, will not be utterly wasted. Meantime this much is certain. All the rumors, [reports and assertions of Mr. Sargeant's coming greatness have come not from the white houpe, but from a oircle of Mr. Sargeant's friends and hangers-on, and some of these have I used quite unusual means to produce on journalists and others here the belief that tbeir master was going to le appointed at once. Whether a man who permits his friends to "work up his case" in such ways as Mr. Sargeant has allowed ought to ba appointed at all to a cabinet po* sition, and whether Mr. Sargent ought to be intrusted with the affairs of the interior department beyond all others, are questions whioh the president will no doubt carefully consider before he makes up his mind. There is no proof that he has so far considered them at all, for there is no publicly known reason, except the reports of Sargent's friends, to believe that he has been thought of by the president for the place."

Judging of the future by the past there is no reason to bslieve that the president will make any mistake in this matter. Thus far his administration has been noted for its good sense, clear judgment and sound business principles. Mr. Arthur has evidently set out with the determination to give the country a good administration, and in doing so his party h»s no cause for complaint, as his aim has been to heal all differences and strengthen the weak spots.

THE NORTHSBN PACIFIC.

There is evidently a strong lobby at work in Washington to injure the Northern Pacific Bailroad in eveiy conceivable manner. The bill to take away from the company the lands given it by the government is backed by other corporations directly interested in the matter, and all sorts of stories in support of the bill are being put in circulation. The latest one is a threatened outbreak by the Crow Indians, who are located on a reservatien in Montana equal in area to the state of Connecticut. These Indians have been on friendly terms with the whites since 1836, and guided Lewis and Clark across Montana. The story goes that the interior department and Northern Pacific railroad made an agreement with the Indians that the railroad company should baye the right to enter the reservation and cut timber for ties for. its road bed. It is charged that the reservation is now overrun by gangs of men, who are ostensibly cutting ties for the railroad, but many of them are prospecting, and about to settle down and take possession. This is the alleged cause of the prospective war. It may be true, but the probability is that it is false. The Northern Pacifio road has been unable to carry out its portion of tbe agreement with the government through misfortune. It is now doing all it can to complete its line and claims that it will be able to do so within a year. When opened through to the Pacific coast it will injure the business cf the other Pacific roads very materially, hence the strenuous efforts to cripple it. Mr. Cobb says such is not the intention of the bill, but no other construction can be placed upon it. It is surrounded and urged by elements which cannot be mistaken, and they aii point in that direction. As the government has lost nothing by the failure of tbe company to complete its line within a specified time, it is hardly fair to cripple it by unjust legislation at this late day.

Winding up With a Discussion of the "Stiff" Question—Mrs. Soovllle —Her Alleged Insanity —Incidents.

WASHXNGTOH, Feb. 3.—When Judge Cox entered the court this morning the prisoner was immediately brought in and placed in the dock. Before taking his seat Guiteau looked over to his counsel and said in a quiet and rather pleading tone, "On 1 sit at that table if your Honor please?"

Judge Cox—"If tiers is no objection Irom the counsel." Guiteau—"Have you any objection, Colonel

Col. Corkh511-~"No sir." The prisoner then took a seat at the table by the side of Scoville and taking out of his coat pocket a roll of manuscript addressed the court in the apparent belief and with the air of 'the principal counsel in the case. "If the court please before this motion is made I desire to correct a few errors that have arisen—" at this point he was stopped by the court.

Corkhill objected to any remarks from the prisoner. Scoville also objected and thought anything of the kind would better be postponed until the business before the Court was disposed of. Scoville continued, "If your. Honor please, I have contemplated that additional time should be given for this motion. I also have assurance from a prominent member of this bar that he will assist me next week."

Corkhill asked,—"Who is thai gentle man." Scoville declined to give the name at present except in confidence to the Court. Scoville then desired to make a new motion relative to additional grounds that he had discovered for anew trial. These grounds, he stated, were unauthorized conversation with the jury by outsiders and the subsequent admission of an expert that he thought Guiteau insane but did not dare to say so for it would injure him in business and in publio estimation. Scoville read an affidavit sworn and subscribed to by himself setting forth in detail the grounds stated and added "I have not yet prepared a formal motion based upon this affidavit but presume it will be sufficient if I do so at any time during the day."

Corkhill—"May it please your Honor, the time for filing such motions and affidavits has expired."

Judge Cox—"Well we will postpone consideration of this matter until the motion now before the court is disposed ot."

Scoville proceeded to read the affidavits and other papers filed by him with his motion for anew trial.

F. A. Snyder, maker of the affidavit upon which Scoville relies mainly to sustain his motion, sat immediately in the rear of Scoville. After reading the Snyder affidavit Scoville defended both the affiant and himself from the criticism which he learned had been made by the prosecution.

Col. Corkhill in reply said: "Neither Snyder or Scoville are on trial. When they are Con trial in this court I will attend to them'. At present the subject under discussion is whether a new trial shall be granted to the convicted murderer of James A. Garfield. I have stated that the signatures upon the paper which form the basis of the Snyder affidavit are base forgeries and I expect to prove them so to the satisfaction of the court and tho country. I have not accused Scoville of the forgery and never supposed him to be guilty of it." Col. Corkhill then read the affidavits of each momber of the juiy in which they most positively denied ever having seen or read a copy of the Critic or any other paper during the time tliey served as jurors upon the trial of Guiteau. Following these was read the affidavit of Norman Weard to the effect that he had known Snyder for fifteen years and to his knowledge said Snyder was a thief, forger and blackmailer and that he (Weard) would not believe him under oath. Col. Corkhill read affidavits of Jno. L. Sargent, formerly a detective in Washington and detec tive McElfresh, who arrested Snyder several years since on a charge of grand larceny and also the affidavit of George C. Curtiss, the bailiff in charge of the room from which Snyder aliases to have taken the copy of the Critic with the jurors' names upon it. Affiant did not purchase a Critic during the trial or have one in bis room that the only persons that attracted the suspicion of the bailiffs' or jury were T. H. Snyder, Mr. Scoville and J. H. Hayden. These parties passed the rooms ©n several oocasions without having any ostensible business and were objects of suspicion to both bailiff"s*andjury men. Affiant further swears that at the hour when Snyder swore he found the Critic in the bailiff's room he (Curtis*) was there and the jurors ware also in their rooms, and that it was impossible for^Bnyder to have taken a Critic from his room unless he had first placed it there.

The affidavit of A. R. Searle, another baijiff in charge ot the jury, was then read. It was of the same tenor as the preceding one also an affidavit of Henry Bragdon, the party alluded to by Scoville in his affidavit setting forth the newly discovered evidence as ground for a new trial. Bragdon's affidavit sets forth that he saw a man in Lafayette Park as alleged and remarked of hira that he looked like a disappointed office seeker or a lunatic, but he does sot know whether it was Guiteau or not.

Csrkhill in conclusion submitted that the affidavits he had read amply sustained his allegation of forgery and fraud and therefore he would refrain from adding aay

argument. Scoville in

reply severely denounced the attempt to blacken the character of Snyder. It was on a par with letters which have been sent to him (Scoville) impregnated with smallpox virus and the virus injected into these affidavits, ell insiipated by the personal spite of one man, Norman Weard, would go out through all the land and years might be required to undo the injury thus proposed to be done to an honorable man, the peer of any in the court room.

Corkhill raised a laugh by asking in a tone ot innocent inquiry, "You are not speaking ol Snyder are are you

V'

"Scoville replied with marked emphasis, "Yes, sir, I am an honorable man." He then asked the court to expunge from the affidavits everything of the character he had discovered.

Judge,Cox replied that the objection was cleariv well taken and that much of the affid^rtt objected to could not be considered

as evidence. Judge Cox then stated that he could not vary from the well defined rules of practice as to the admission of affidavits or the time for hearing the motion, but as new questions were submitted in the pending motion he would take time to mature his decision and would not announce it until tcmorow morning. He would, however, be pleased to hear any legal authorities that the counsel might desire to cite.

Davidge discussed at some length the Snyder affidavit quoting from one of Moliere's plays, i& which his hero exclaims, "What in the devil was he doing in that galler Davidge said, applying it to this case, "What in the devil was Snyder doing in that room? [Laughter]. What business had he there, any more than in my house or in my library? I care nothing for the general character of the man. He is found in the novel and unenviable act of invading the sanctity of tbe juryman's room. What business had he thi'-f Why did he enter that rocm?"

Gui •, who had thus far abstained from king'any part in the diecussion, called at, "He said the door was open, and 1» saw the paper."

Davidge—Yes, I knpw, Mr. prisoner. So are a great many doors open. But what would you think of me if I went mousing around your private rooms.

Gaiteau—If you haa been in Snyder's dace you would have done the same as te did.

Davidge continued to discuss the affidavit of Snyder. It was a very easy thing for any one to have put into the bailifl'* room the newspaper in question, with the express intention of having it found there. He [Davidge] considered this evidence of the newspaper of very little account.

This elicited from Guiteau the comment: "Very strong presumptive evidence, Judge, especially with a grog jury, a jury that smokes and drinks and plays cards."

Scoville then proceeded to argue his motion, citing authorities and precedeats.

Scoville then indignatly replied to the criticisms made against Snyder, both by counsel for the prosecution and by the affiants. He had been maligned and traduced. The court must assume that he was an honest man, and every step he had taken was consistent with that assumption. What he had done had been imperative upon him as an honest man. In the course of his remarks, Scoville intimated that the affidavits of the jurors had been drawn up under the direction of Davidge. This the latter denied, but stated that whatever the jury swore to he would endorse, the District Attorney and tbe country would indorse. 8coville—Oh, gentlemen, I will not be driven ^rom this case by Chines gongs or anything else, when I leave this cafe.

The District Attorney—[dryly]—Oh, no. The case Will leave you. Scoville—I say Snyder had a right to take that paper, and he would have been derelict in his duty if he had not done so. I place Snyder's conduct .in this matter on a broad basis, and I say that before we get through with that matter the Court will signify from the bench that Snyder did right.

Prisoner—[excitedly]—Yes, on the long pull our side will win. Don't you forget it, Corkhill. God Almighty takes along pull, but he comes out ahead every time.

Scoville proceeded to argue that it was the duty of the court to inquire into the probabilities. What was the motive that could induce Snyder to do the act charged here—to-wit: to attempt forgery for the purpose of manufacturing evidence in this case, against the whole force of public opinion. Snyder never had any interest in this case.

The District Attorney—How do you know about that? Prisoner—I never heard of the gentleman before the affidavit appeared.

Scoville continued to contend that it was improbable that Snyder had "put up a job" in this matter, on the ground that there was nothing to induce him to do it, unless it were for the purpose of seeing that justice should not fail. If it were a forgery, it was the cleverest one of the age, perpetrated without a motive, and tending to bring the forger into utter disrepute, and_ which might land him in the penitentiary.

The District Attorney—Oh, no. He does not say he did not take the paper into the room himself.

Prisoner—The answer to Corkhill's slur is that Snyder says he walked into the room and saw.the paper that disposes of his wicked, diabolical slur.

Scoville—When this case corses before the court in banc, I shall make a point whether counsel for the prosecution have the right, at every stage of the case, to denounce and vilify, not only the defendant, but the witnesses for the defense.

Davidge—I am doing all I can to get it to the court in banc, but you will not let it go there.

Scoville—Yes I will, after a while. The arguments of the prosecution have been those of villification and aspersion, instead of reason.

District Attorney—Is it no crime to charge that the jury violated their o*tht? Scoville—No crime to allege specific acts. If the gentlemen allege a specific act against Snyder hot a word will be said against it. What I object to is the mean inuendoes, the slandeis put out, without assuming the responsibility of direct assertions. From tbe beginning to the end, in the affidavits, there is this sneaking inuendo against Snyder, and it IB to this I object.

Commenting on the fact that the affidavits of the jurors were almost identical, Scoville declared that they contained nothing but interations and reiterations of the baseless charges against Snyder.

The prisoner here cried out in a violent manner, thumping the table with his clenched hand, in order to give emphasis to his declaration: "And God Almighty will 'n time ruin every man opposed to us. Give the Lord plenty of time to pull things through."

Referring to the affidavit of the juryman Brawner, reflecting on his own con-

duct in visiting the National Hotel while the jury were quartered there, Scoville turned toward the District Attorney, and indignantly and contempteouly exclaimed: "The prctittioner who would put that iu for the purpose of casting a slur on the opposite counsel does not deserve the position he occupies."

The sooner who had been for some time engagea in comparing the names of tbe jurors upon the margin of the newspaper with their names as they appeared in an autograph album, exclaimed: "Any one can Bee that they are in the same hand writing. A hundred experts would testify to that. I*know something about handwriting myself."

The District Attorney—Yes, they are very clever forgeries. Judge Cox then asked Scoville to hand him certain authorities from which he had quoted, 20 Iowa and 43 Connecticut, and this being done the court adjourned nntil to-morrow, when it is probable that Judge Cox will render his decision.

Guiteau gave to the prees to-day the following document, which he headed, "ERBOBS COKK*CTEl."

He had expected to read it to the Court, but being stopped in that direction, concluded, as he remarked, to "test the efficacy of the press." "A tramp says I stole hia shirt. All statements of this kind are false. I never had anything, to do with tramps or disreputable characters. I am high toned— too high toned for the newspaper devils to notice* and I want them to let me alone. This is bard, but it is true. I never saw such a diabolical spirit as some newspapers have towards me, especially those that were cursing Garfield last spring. Since he was shot they have Deified him, and cursed me for doing the very thing they said oushtto be done, via: remove him. kWhen God formed a man that had lite

brains and nerve to do it, these newspaper devils Deify Garfield and curse God's man. But the Deity will get even with these fellows. If I were dead, these devils would not be satisfied. If 1 had been President and wreoked the Republican party, as Garfied did, I say 1 ought to have been shot, and posterity will say so, whatever this perverse and crooked genertion may say. 'Ye generation of vipers bow can ye escape the damnation of hell It is hard to tell how some newspaper men will escape that place, if they continue to slander God's man. My mail comes to the jail now. Any friend wishing to Bee me in person or write to me can do so. Any one having sent me an important letter and received no answer can write again, and I will see that it is answered, No notice given to anonymous or crank letters, except to put them in the waste baskets. All checks should be certified, then I shall know they are good. Autographs, 25 cents photographs, cabinet size, and my autograph on it, $1, mailed to any address. This photograph is from a new sitting. I own the negative and copyright. No photograph is genuine without my autograph. They, will be supplied to the trade only by me, for $9 per hundred. This is the only way of getting money to pay my counsel to argue in banc. If I give my autograph away and make an appeal I get nothing. This negative will be a great improvement every way on the setting of July 2d, taken by Bell. My hair is parted, and my beard off and I look ten years younger. It is an historical picture, and any one can get it by sending me the price, and in no other way. Under no circunstances will I allow my relatives or any one else to have anything to do with my body. If necessary I shall will it to some large cemetery. I shall probably need it myself for some time yet. Scoville's proposition is simply infamous and barbarous, and not to be tolerated for a moment. I am sorry Scoville is poor, and if I had plenty of money I would give my sister $50,000. I shall do so anyway, if I get out of here. CHARLES GUITEAU, "U. S. Jail, Washington, D. C., February 2d, 1882."

Mrs. Scoville is represented in a recent interview in a Chicago paper as sayj that she had been out of her head ana under treatment some years. Some people in Washington who entertained the theory that Guiteau was insane theughtthey found confirmation for that opinion in the actions of Mrs. Scoville while here her conduct, they held, indicated that the taint of insanity ran through the Guiteau family. Mrs. Scoville, while here, was in a state ot high nervous excitement most of the time. During the last month ot her 6tay here she was a guest at the house of Col. Edward Daniels often she walked the floor of her room all night at limes she treated the servants severely, as though she were in her own houso. "I think," said a gentleman who often met her while she was here and know her before, "that she is just on the border lino of insanity. A little excitement would throw her over. Whenever she becomes excited her talk is just as incorherent as her brother's. I have known her to announce earnestly that Charles would become President of the United States. She seemed to believe it sincerely. She said he would go first to an insane asylum, then he would be released by order of a commission and when his intellectual tone was restored, the people would make him President. She used to show letters in which tbe writers assured her they would stand by her brother. She took them all seriously, unable to see the sarcasm in them, and announced that the people were all coming over to her brother's side. To others who did not take stock in tho insanity theory in tbe-case of Guiteau, she did not appear to have any marks of an unsound mind that could not be readily accounted for by the intense nervous strain she was under."

Mr. Scoville, when the subject of the report concerning his wife's insanity was broached to him, said that it concerned his private affairs, and he did not care to make any statement for publication either affirmative or denying. He thinks the reports to the effect that he intended to sue for a divorce emanated trom the same newspaper in Chicago that published the article upon which he has entered a libel suit.

NOT £9.

As Scoville concluded his remarks today, Guiteau reached over to a reporter and whispered: "I had intended to put Scoville off this case, but he is doing ae well, I shall let him stay. He is doing splendidly to-day.

Guiteau sold hia autographs in court, and realized several dollars. Scoville spoke one hour in support of his motion, and cited many authorities.

HEN OIL THE DAY.

JUDGE WALTER COX,

The subject of this sketch, Judg® Walter S. Cox, presiding at tho trial of Guiteau, is about forty-five years of age.

presiding at the trial of at fortjr-fivi

He was born in the District of Columbia, and his prominence as a lawyer dates from the year 1863, and was earned in the courts under tho shadow of the Capitol. His promotion by President Hayes to a Judgeship In the District Court was a general surprise, the custom having, previously^ been to appoint the incumbents of his honorable position from outside the District of Colombia.

He is physically one of the finest looking men at the Capitol and veiy much respected. While there is considerable complaint on account of the latitude allowed the assassin, the judge answers the assaults upon him by explaining that he gives every liberty and free license to Guiteau, in order that when the verdict is reached there may be no doubt that the prisoner has had a fair trial that he desired not only to give the prisoner all possible liberty, but to allow the juiy to judge of the condition of his mind by actual and personal observation of the man in all his moods, and. under the influence of all his emotions^

A Seal-skin Dolman Better than any Amount of Suffering. "You tell me that you lovo me," said a Brooklyn maiden to an eligible young man who avowed his affection. "How do I know you aro sinoereP Wha"C would you do to show your love?" "Anything," replied the ardent lover, who had a spice of romance in his disposition, "anything. I would go to the world's end for you I would endure any suffering for you I would die for you, if necessary."

Such ardent protestations brought the blushes to her cheeks and a thrill of happiness to her heart, and she thought that certainly no one could love her more fondly than he did. She asked, however, a little delay before giving him an answer to his suit.

Meantime another suitor proposed and she questioned him in like manner. "Well/' said he, "I'll tell you what

I

would do to show my love for you: If you marry me you shall have good clothes to wear. I will see that you are always the owner of a handsome sealskin dolman and that your hats and bonnets are always in fashion, and I will be a faithful, loving husband to you." "But wouldn't you go.to the world's-, end for me, or die for me, or any of' that sort of thing, you know?" sho asked, as she .toyea with his coat buttons. "I don't want to go to the world end," he replied "I've got a nice, good paying business in Boston and as for dying for you, I'd rather live with you." "Well," said she, as visions of tho seal-skin dolman, fashionablo bonnets, etc., flashed before her mind, "I guess you can go and speak to pa." &The practical wooer is the man for the times.

A Httntei's Story.

Two huntsmen meet and compare notes: "Well, how many hares have you shot this season?" "How many hares? Well, not to exaggerate, say 100 though there may, have been a few more. You, you wicked dog, are so given to 'drawing the long-bow that I snpposo you'll bo, telling me you have shot—one!" (From, the French.)

Prof. Beal has two hundred different grasses and clovers growing, each in a separate bed, in the garden attached to the Michigan Agricultural College. It has taken several years to make the collection, which is being added to yearly. Each species is labelled with both tho common and scientific names, enabling those who visit the college to make their examination both useful and entertaining. Six sets of seeds from these plants have been sent to as many different colleges, our ow# Harvard being asxonpr the number.

We picture death as coming "to destroy let us rather picture Christ as coming to save. We think of death as ending let us rather think of life as beginning, and that moro abundantly. We think of losing let us think of gaining. We think of parting lot us think of meeting. We think of going away let us think of arriving. Ana as the voice of death whispers, "You must go from earth," let us hear the voice of Christ saying, "You are but coming to me!"—Jxgrman McLeod.
