The Speaker of the House seems to forget the colored man in every avenue in life. It was this vote that helped to place him there, und he fails to realize that this part of the party is compelled to live as well as the rst. TtiesiH-aker is like all the rest of the good Republicans; they can nee and know you only at on stae in life and that is just before the election. In ixso a little colored Iwy apieared at the Speaker' ofriice and asked the privilege of cleaning his otlice and he was refused, and you see if he would refuse such a siq ill m ttier, wiiat would you expect of him, more than forget fulness on an important matter. Voters, there are some important iints we have not considered just as we should, aud that is union. We are too much divided. The gentleman we ran for the school board would have been elected if all had been united and done their duty. An old maxim but nevertheless a tj-ue one is "United we stand, divided we fall."

Indianapolis Sentinel, Jan. 4.J Wahisutox, jan4. Tne Nation's murder trial is soon to be terminated, if to-day's proceedings i indicate the under-current. Judge Cox's instruction to the counsel that arguments on the points of law to be cited in argument must first ba submitted before the convening of the Court, Saturday morning, and his ruling that no decisions of other Courts can be read to the Jury during the argument by the counsel means the hurrying through of the ease. Col. jorkhill said to-day that the Jury must have the case in charge next week. How to check the prisoner in bis interruptions duriog tue argument of Judge Porter and Davldge for the Government is being serfjusly considered. United States Marshal Henry to-day said to the Seutlnel correspondent: "dome meas to stop his villaiaous tongue must be provided. I have already been greatly provoked, and tempted to wring his neck. II the Court will give me permission I will tiop him when he gets too boister

ous during the argument I'll throttle him and

shut off his wind." It is very evident Gulteu will try to laug h the case out of Court, as he has threatened, and in wh en event he will eüher bj tateu from the room or gag,ed. The arguments will occupy a week's time J u lije Cox will doubtless instruct the Jury to find for the Government and return a verdict to hang. I To the AfMeia'ed Press. Tli Proceedings in Full. W ashingt in. Jan. 4. This moral i g some delay was caused iu the proceedit gs in Court. While Scoville was preparing an affidavit Guitcau said This is a kihr! lime to make a tpeeeh, but I promised the Mahal I would keep i met to-day. to i win try ana no no. Having subscribed to the affidavit, Scoville read it. It net forth that the alliant is nole counsel for the prisoner; th.it Ihe prisoner has been in such a Mate of mind that he has been unable to leader any assistance or suggest the name of any witnesses, and that atliaut has t-ince the rinding vf the case learned the names of certain witnesses who can testify t material facts for Ihe defeuse After giving tue names of the wi nes es, aid b.ktly MaiPig what heexpt-cted to prove, Scoville moved tuat he be allow ed to introduce this new evidence. JuJge Cox imiuired if the counsel desired to be heard upon the motion. Colonel Oorkhill I hardly think anything need be si 1. sc.vi:le then amended his affidavit by inserting th itür. Mcrarlatid would testily that iu bis own ion the prisoner is now ins me. Af er he had -uo-critaU to the amended affidavit i.'t.loitrl Ketd a.ldressed the Coirt lu la vor of the motion He was aware that the ina'.Ur was entirely within the obere lion of the Court, it was not, however, without precedent, aud that lioin the L'i'iud slates Court. lie thru cited cases where eidetice was admitted even after the raumeut to the Jury hadbtguu. He fell assured that the American ja-ole would not begrudge the one extra day now esked in behalf of this prisoner, and in the name of justice aud a fair trial. He then paid a glow ii.g tribute to Scoville, who had defended llu poor creature alone and unaided, without money and without encouragement from any source. Air Dviuge replied ft some length and denied that any precedent existed for reopening the case simply to iutroduce accumulative evidence, particularly in the case of Dr. .McFarland. lie believed it would be a scandal to admit the testimony of a man so reckless as to form an opinion and be willing to swear inetely from reading the newspapers. Mr. so vi lie replied at great length and detailed the hardship and ditueuliies under which the defense had labored in the preparation of their case. It was almost impossible tot:et witnes-es to come here. The experts for ttie defence were compelled to be sdti.-ried with S'.'J j per diem, the regular witness fee. while the exierts frtbe Government came here (it is supposed leaving grave trusts behind them), remaining lar MX weeüs, and every one of them plainly showed by their evlieiiee that they expected full pay for their services, and all knew what that meant. "And these experts," said Mr. Scoville. "are nil! waiting here to see the results of their evidence in hanging this prisoner But fortunately for the cau-e of Justice, Your liquor and this Jury stand between him aud the gallows." Colot.tl Corkriill e u.d not. at this stage, allow the remarks of the counsel to go unanswered. He sal 1 yesterday, ami would repeat to day, he would not object to the introduction ot any new fact material t the defense; the only objection to be made by ihe tMecmi n had n nlreadv mentioned ty Davidye. Iherehad never been a trial in this Distdct wnere so much hoerality has been how n oy the Government. (iui;eau i:isiteU upon being heard. The bailitf tried to silence him, but was met by an angry "Lei me alo e, or 1 will slap you iu the inouin." Guiteau then called out, "Your Honor, all I want is to show that I told these men, on the way to Jail, that it was the political situation and pressure of i.icpiraliou that caused me to remove the President." J mice Cox sai l the counsel for the defense came here a stranger to tne Courts of the District and even t the piisoi er himself, and found himself environed with diHi.:iil;ies from the outset. The must serious ditliculty was, that theodittm attsching to the assassinati.. made the witnesses unwilling to even allow their names to le known to the deiense. Appreciating all these dilliculties which emburras-eu the cetense he, Judge Cox. had felt disposed to offset w ith cq'ial Ulit i-le and more thau o.dinary facilities in the preparation of iheir case. The eviichce f insanity could not hi title red in surreouiial. I t hit opinion, prow" of iiisauit saould be liniud to evidence ia chief of the defense and rebutting evidence ot the prosecution. He Iheiehdv. mils exclude the evidence of Dr. McFailand. The test. mo , however, ot those witnesses by which the defense ex pected to prove that the prisoner a-seried upon the day of as-as inadon and up u iheoaja ter, the motive for ihe act, the t'-ouri held should be admitted as evidence in sunebu lal. Scoville men calwd Dr lerd, ot New York, who was sworn Onj action was ma ie t his testimony, and the objecilou sustained by the Court sco illes.ated that he intended to prove by ihe witness and . tUd au excen i u lo tne ru.ingol the Court. The next witi.ess called was J. J. Brooks, Chief of the Treasury Secret Ser ice. The witness visited the prisoner it the Jail the nUht after the shooting. "Guiteau was in bed at the time. He aro-e in great auger and exc tement," said the witness, "and wauled t know what I meant by disturbing his rest and quiet at that hour of the niht. 1 said it illy became him. a murderer, to speak in that manner: that he ha l disturbed the rest aud quiet of the whole Natiou. He tame back at me that he was a Christian aud a gentleman; "thtt his mind was made up; that he had be n movtd to do it as a political neees iiy. and thu t ii was foi the g'Od of the country." The witness continued: "I told trim 1 wa a Republican and Stalwart, a id he replied. Tneujou a" a.prechti why I did it.' " The w itness deuiUd at some length his conversation at that time. He said to the prisoner, "If you had taken your duty into consideration, you could not have done such an act." The prisoner replied he had thought over ihe matter, and prayed t-ver it six week?, and the mo e he prayed the more he became convinced the President must go, and it was his duty to remove him. X.twith.siai uiio: his wouilse In the morning, Guitesu continued io intenupt, and b-;came involved in an altercation with o-' of the bailiffs who tried to silence him. "I'll slup you in the mouth," he frequently snarled at him. but made no demonstration to carry the threat into execution. At another time he said: "You are nottniiK but a miserable underling, while I speak Ut millions of peoyle w hen 1 talk " When Judge Cox finihed his remarks upon Scoville motion, Guiteau insisud upon the expression of his opinion. "That's a fiist-elass decision. Judge, that is all I want to get before the Jurv.whstl -aid at t tie time relative to the causes ibat impelled me upon the President As for the rest, 1 don't care a snap. I would not give hfty cents a bushel for this expert testimony. If I hud money enough I could net filty of the best experts in the country to swear that lamas crazy as a loon ; that's jut how much that kind of testimony is worth." Seville introduced a letter written by the prisout r's father in which he expressed the opinion that the piioner was insane. Guiteau called out. saeeringly, "Was the object in reading that letter to show that my lather was a crank, or lam? You are the biggest jackass. Scoville, lever saw. If you can't learn auy sense 1 shall have to rebuse you in punnc. Davide, on behalf of the pro-t cation, then rer.Matfii the ritrVn.e to muke known the law poinuon which tney desired the ruling of the Court. Scoville sail he would like a little time for the proper preparation of this point of the case. Davidgeaaid the prosecution had already prenarnl their statement of the law points upon which they would rely, and t.e would be pleased tr trive the defense the benefit of them, lie then read a follows: i. "The h cal test of responsibility, where insan ity is f-et Up & a defense for the alleged crim. is whether ihe censed, at the time of committing the act alleced, anew ibediiference between ruht and wrong iu respect to such &a. Hence, in the present case, if the accused, at the time of com-, minim? the act charted . knew the difterence be tween riiht and wrong ia respectof such act. that is, if he knew what he was doing, and that what ne was UuIUK wmk contrary aj Trie la n sooiisible." Gultesu 1 dida't, because my free agency was destroyed. 2. "if the accused knew what he was doing, and that what he was doing was contrary to the law of tne laud, it consti tutes no defeute. even if it were true that when hecommitted the act he really believed he was thereby producing a public benefit or carrying out an inspiration ot Divine origin or approval. Such belief would not afford any excuse, nor would such an excuse be afforded by the fact that in the commission of the act he was impelled bv a depraved moral sense whether innate or acquired, or by evil passion or iudiiTereucd to moral oblh ft'foa." Guiteau All of which is false. 3. "in insanity, would it, however.constitute a defense if, by reason of a diseased braiu, the accused, at the time of committing the ait charged, did not know what be was doing, or, if he did know it. that what he was doing was contrary to law?" Guiteau I had no choice in the matter. 4. "The only evidence in the present case tending to show an irresistible Impulse to commit the homicide U the claim of the accused that bis free agency was destroyed by his alleged conviction tnat the death of tne President was required for the good of the American people and was divinely inspired; but such conviction, even if it really exjated, couldn't afford any excuse when

l JOHN ROACH, THE AMERICAN SIIIPBCILDER. Perhaps no one of America's industrial met more frequently talked and writte i about tat John Roach, whose name was the most consplc: ous among the speakers at tre recent Tariff Co. vention in New York City. He is a streruous su vocate for Congressional subsidies, in order to the restoration i.f the strength and orestlge of the United States Commercial Marine. Mr. Roach was born Iu Ireland, but came to this country wbensixteeu years old. Finding no employment in New York, the poor, friendless boy crossed over into New Jersey In search of a man who bad worked far his father in the old country. He found him at the Howell Works, sixty miles from Jersey City, and procured work iu the same establishment, which was owned by James Allaire. Three years from his beginning life in the United States he had accumulated $1,500, and leaving the balance of his savings in the hands of Mr. Allaire, took a small amount oi cash and started for the West with the Intent! n to buy laud. Mr. Allaire's failure in business killed the project and left the young man uuder the necessity of working as a laborer in order to live. He returned to NVw York, and shortly afterward (he was a married man by this time) set up in business, in which he prospend for. awhile. nut was iterwara financially ruined by the explosion of a boiler. Undaunted, he started afresh, and became the owner of the foundry in in which were built the largest engines ever con structed in the United States up to that time Altera lew years ne bonunt tne Morgm iron Work, t lie Neptune, ihe Franklin Forxe and the Allaire Works. In November, lull, he also b'MiKht ihe ship yards at Chester, Pa., owned by Messrs. Rainer & Sonn. Since that lime he has built some flue steamships, tut has failed to successfully compete w ith the builders of the Clyde and else where lu Europe, because of the high duty on materials. the party knew what he was doing and that ft was contrary to law. No more delusion or error of judgment, not even a fixed lelief that what is prohibited by law, is commanded or appiovea by divine authority.' Guiteau God's law is higher than man's law. He can exempt the accused from responsibility for breaking tne law. To have such an effect the commission of the act charged must bae been the result of an insane delusion, which was ihe product of disease, aud of such force as to ue rive the accused of a decree of reason necessary lo dis tinguish between tight and wrong in respttf the act, so that at the time of comml iii k ii e u t he either did not know what he was dointr. or if he did. that the act was wrong or contrary to the law of the land. At Scoville's suggestion the Court then ad journed till Saturday. Scoville Affidavit.

Ti.p m tTi-uit exoects to Drove bv the said Brooks and Kaihboue that they had an interview with the prisoner in the Jail ou the 3d ot July, 181. ,or possibly the '2d, in which the prisoner said, "1 wish you people would let mealone; I have som-i rights;" that it was some time before the said Urooksand Rath bone could induce him to talk to them, and when he did talk he said to them at that interview that he had contemplated the removal of the President for six weeks, and was forced to do it by insptra i u from God, or words to that effect, and that he had no fear of punishment and no fear he wool 1 not be liberated; that the prisoner in such conversation was cool, and unconscious of auy risk of danger to himself from trial for his act, and showed to said witnesses, by his words and manner, unmistakable evidence of Insanity. The aflidavit further expects to prove by said McElfresh and M. A.

Subscribed and sworn to before me the 4th day of January, 18K2. R. J, Meigs, Clerk, by W. G. Williams. Assistant Clerk. Scoville and Heed Preparing the Law Points for the Defense Argument to be Hegun To-Morrow, Washington, Jan. 5. Scoville and Colonel Reed were engaged all day upon the preparation of the law points which they will on Saturday present to the Court for ruling. Neither of these gentlemen appear sanguine of obtaining a verdict

favorable to their client.yetboth stoutly maintain not only that Gul'eaa was legally iirespuusible for his act, but is at this moment an insane man, his own Hsserllon c lha coutrary notwithstanding. Scoville was greatly disappointed at his failure to get before the Jury yesterday the additional evidence witn which he had expected to rebut tne testimony of the Government experts. The ounsel for the defense iu the Guiteau exse will present their law points to Judge Cox tomorrow morning. His Honor will rule upon them Saturday morning, immediately afteropeuing Court. Davidge will then make the opening argument for the prosecution, which will probably occupy the entire day. Scoville will reply for the deiense on Monday, and will be followed by Colonel Reed and Guiteau who will bejerrait ted to add res - the Jury if he desires to do so. Judsre Porter will maka the closing argument to the Jury. Scoville remarked this morning he did not th'nk the arguments would consume more than four days. If tbi expectation is realized the case will probably go to the Jury not later than Thursdavnext. Judge Cox has issued ihe following diret lions as to the management of the Court room during ttie argument of the case of Guitcau to the J ur : No visitors will be allowed to stand in the northeast corner of the room, (the Jury is in this corner). No visitors are to enter there after the argument is ommeuced each day. so as pass betw een the counsel and Jury, though visitors may be admitted who are invited to seats on the bench. All petsons leaving the Court room during argument must pass out through the south doors to avoid passing between the counsel und Jury, and for that object a passageway "is to be left between the trial table and audience. The south passu ge way is to be kept suthclently clear to allow passing iu and ut. The space before the Jury is to be kept ciear. The Marshal Is charged with the execution of the foregoing airecti"ns. The estimate amount so f ir disbursed for witness fees and mi.eatig by the Marshal p. aces the cost of the Government witnesses iu the Guiteau trial at 5l.;i00 and witnesses fr the defeuse at f-J.Jl. The bills of many witnesses are not yet paid. W ill Not be Permitted to See Visitors. No person was pcrmittal to see Guiteau to-day. with the exception of Jail omcUli. Said Wardeu Crocker: "No one has seen him, aud until the termination of the trial, his counsel and his brother and sister are the only persons who will be permitted to visit him in Jail This rule, the Warden explained, was 6irict'y in accordance with the wishes of the prisoner's ounsel, aud added, "it agrees with mine. For a time the prisoner was not allowed to tee any visitors, to read any newspapers or itarn anything in ren'ard to the condition of his victim, and this course was made the subject of avast amount of criticism. Upon the arrival of Scoville the prisoner was allowed to receive visitors an 1 read the papers, and as he is quite ready to talk, and at times has not been iu accord with scoville, he has doubtless said and written a great many things to which bis friends have taken

exceptions. So many correspondents, added the Warden draw upon their Imaeiuations almost entirely, and describe as realities only a figment of their own brains, that I am quite disposed to ne pieasea witn tne proposition not to allow uulicati to be interviewed any more. Why, a day or two since, one of the c respondents wrote ut in a vivid manner an account of what he termed Juneau's New Year reception; that two or three hundred people, the in - jority ladies failed on the prisoner, brought him flowers aud delicacies. chatted with him, mid, la short, Guiteau was permt'ita to hold a reju ar levte in the Corridors. As a matter of fact, however, not above twent or thirty irsons saw him New Year's Dav. aud then only incidentally, as they would see auy of the prisoners wnoare permuted in be sen upon da when visitors are admitted. Upon Christmas arid New Vf ar' the friends of trip prisoners are allowed t visit them and brine little ptesents or delica cies. It is not a matter simply intrusted to the discretion of the Warden, but be is obligtd to admit visitors upon ?hee ccasions. It ism b-lief also that a large msjuriiy of the visitors at the Court room daily are straujters fnm abroad, wt.o take in the Guiteau trial as one of the sights of the Capital. The Pefene's Points of Law. Scoville and Reld to-nteht finished the prepara tion of praers to be offered by the defense to the Court f.r itistru- tiors to the Jury. l nere are rourleen praers. ine main points mi ed are that the legal test of Ittsanltt is whethtr the act w as done as the result of an insane del -siou, or committed under au influence or THiwrr which the accu-ed could not resist by reason of his unsoundness of mind; that if the accus d w uld not have doi e th act but f r such insane delusions, he is not guilty of the crime charged agal. st him; that if the Jury have teas nable doub s as to the insanity of the accused they should give him the benefit of t' e doubt; that the Jurv mav take lnt account the mani festatio s of ftelinx on th. part ot witutsses; that the Jury have the right to consider the suppressi' n of evidence bv the pro-ecutiou as raising a presumption that such evidence, if pro duced, world be unfavorable to the prosecution; that if the Jury believed the prisoner oi sound mind, but without malice iu the commission of the act. they should render a verdct of manslaughter; that the Jury should find a verdict of not guilty upon thee mnts rf the Indictment, representing ihe death of the President ithe District of Columbia, and that the knowledge that his act was eont ary to law, would not make the accused liable to punishment if he did it under the insane delusion that it was commanded by Gad. A FKIKIITFUL PANIC During Funeral Services in the Sal em Evangelical Church, Quincy, a Panic Ensues and Forty Persons are Injured, Several Fatally. Chicago, Jan. 5. A Epecial from Qalncy says: "This afiernoon during the funeral services of the late pastor of the Salem Church and while the Church was densely crowded, for some unknown cause a patdc ensued.

The people in the vicinity thought the gallery was giving way and when the rush commenced, men, women and children poured out of the doors leading from the main flair and gsllpry into the hall lending into the street. AU efforts to stop them were fruitless, the people were frantic and would listen to nothing. In less than two minutes the doorway was blocked up and the scene that followed was indescribable. The women who were caught iu the crowd were thrown down and trampled on. Their shrieas and the shoutii g of the men who appeared to be frightened out of their senses were fearful.

Washington. Dec. 27. The following is the document prepared by Guiteau Monday, and furnished for publication to night: "Christmas greeting 181. By Charles Guiteau." To day is Christmas, and 1 gieel the American feople with a merry Christmas. Lnst Christmas, was in New York. I was bearding iu a firstclass house, and was finely dressed. I attended Church, and had a quiet and pleasant day. Two jears ago I whh iu li ston, but was nut w-il fed and well clothed. 1 was on theology 1 here U niorey in theology. 1 left a S-j.INK) business iu Chicago in 17" for theology. I went Into the .logy to serve the Lord aud preach the Gospel I hud a much trouble to get in my work on the theology as Paul. He huugeied aud thirsted, and was naked, hid no dwelling pluce, but he preached the Gospel as he understood it. Although he had a hard time, since he left earth his work arid tratne luve come down for aes. Chrl-t and Panl did their worn and left the result wi h the Almighty Father, and I do the same. Chiistmas. 187S. I in St. Louis. I was in ery ledu ed ciicutnsiances. 1 had been on iheol gy a year. 1 had sieuta year traveling, mostly in the E st, trying to presch' the Gospel by hctuting ai d selln g my lectures in Washington, New Y'ork, llst.ni, i h cago ana other cities I felt the Lord putting i his work on me mim I did the b.-st I could. I had no friends and liitle money ihrlstma, ls77. I spent in Philadelphia. 1 was well fed and clothed at tl was trying tn lecture Christinas ls'ii. I was in thica.oaud was working with Mr Moidy, and waiting my lecture on rhiisi's Second' (Vniing. A D 70 To-day. Chirtmss, hssl. I stitf.-r in b .nds as a patrin.but al am iu horrible company. Washington was a patrit; Grant wus a patiiot. Washit gton led the armies of the Revolution through eight years of wr to victory and glory. Grant led the armies cf the Union lo victory and glory, and to-dav the vation is prosperous aud happy. They raised the Id war "cry, Rally 'round the flg. b- s." and thousands of theehetidied sons of th Republic went forth to battle lor victorv or da h. Washington and Grant, by their valor and success in war, won the admiraiioti of mankind To-day. Chiistmas, isal, I suffer in lnds as a putt lot because I had iuspira Ion a.id nerve to unite a wreat political bity to the ei A that the Na'ion might be suved another nest.lnting war. 1 do not pretend tfe war was immediate, hut I do say emphatically ihe bitterness in ihe Hep .biicau pirty last spring wa deepening and deepening hour by hoar, and that within two or three years or le s the Nation would have been in a lisme of civil war. In the present e oi death all hearts were hushed, contention ceased for weeks and weeks, tne heait and braiu of the Nation centered on the sick man in the White House. At last he went the way of all flesh and the Nation was iu mourning, and to-day, Christmas, ISM, I am ou nial for my life, charged with mutdeiing the late Predtent. There is not ihe first element of murder lu this case. To constitute crime of murder two elements niu-i exist: Post, the actual homicide: secondly, malice iu l w or malice in fact. The liw presumes malice from the fact of the homicide. There is no homicide in this case, and therefore no malice in Jaw. Malice iu factdepends U-Otl the circumstances attending the' homicide'. Admitting that the late President died from the shot, which I deny as a matter of fact, still the circumstances attending the shooting liquidate the presumption of malio , either iu law or In fact. Had he been properly treated, the probability is he would have baeii alive today. Whatever ray inspiration or intention, the Deity allowed the doctors to finish my work gradually, because he wanted Ut prepare the people f.r the change. 1 am well satisfied w ith the Deity's conduct of this case thus f.r, and 1 have no doubt but that He will continue to iatber it to the end, and that the public w ill sooner or later see especial providence i.t the late President's removal. Nou. ing but the pl. tied situation last spring Justifiid bis removal. The break in the Republican party then was widening week by we.k, aud I foresaw civil war. My inspiration was lo n move the late President at once, aud thereby close the breach before it cot so w ide nothing but heart rending and des dation war could close It. ihe last war cost tne atlon millions of meu and bildous of money. The Lord wanted to prevent a reneiiuoii of this deso lation, and inspired tne to execute Ills will. Why did He Inspire me in preference to someone ele? Because 1 had brains and nerve probably to do the work, ine Lrd aoes not em ploy Incompetent persons to serve Him. He uses tne best material ue c-n nua. o a uot there were thousands of lVpublicaus who felt as I did about tue la;e President wrecking the Repub lean party, and had thay the conception, the nerve, the brain and opportunity and special authority from the Deity, they would have removed htm. X only, oi an ine worm was ine man wno had authority from the Deity to do it. Without the Deity s pressure I never should have sought to remove the President. This pressure destroyed my free agency. The Deity compelled me to do the aci just as n high waymau compeis a man to give him money, often placing a pthl at his victim's head. The victim may KUoW 1 18 aDsoiuieiy wronie ior uiiu iu line iuc money that bis w ite aud children may need, but now can ne Keep it with ihe pistol at his head? Iiis free agency is destroyed, and he gives his money to save Ms life. This liresisii!le pressure to remove the President was on me for thirty days, and it never left me when awake. It haunted me day and night. At last the opportunity came. I shot him in the Baltimore and I'otomac Depot. A a soon as I Area the shot the inspiration was worked off. nd 1 felt immensely relieved. I would notdQ it again tor a million dollars, uniy a miracle saved me Irom being snot or hung Iben and there. It waq the most insaue. foolhardy act possible, aud no one but a mad mau could have done it, but the pressure on me was so enormous that I would have done it had I died the next minute. Heretofore twl ideal grievances nave eeii adjus.ted by waror ballot. Had Jeflerson Davis and a dozen or two rf his co traitors been shot dead in January, Wil, no doubt our late rebellion never would have been. Genend Grant suppressed one war, and Providence and I saved the Nation. As the time advances the public will appreciate this fact more and more. To-day. Christmas, 18S1, 1 am in jail and have been since July 2. i have borne my confinement patiently and quietly, knowing that my vindica tton would come. Thrice I have been shot at and came near lei- g shot dead, but the Lord kept me harmless like the Hebrew chudreu in tne tierv furnace. No hair ou my head has been singed, because the Lord whom I served when I sought to remove the President, has taken care of me. My trial seems to be progressing well Judge Cox I consider just the man for the case. He Is able, conscientious and careful. I have a bright J ury, and I wl h them to pass on my case. I judge they are good men. They listen with tbe greatest interest to the testimony and addresses, and I presume they will give this case their most solI emn attention, and dispose of it according to. the facta and law. I believe the high-toned press o(

the Nation will have Introduced certa'n witnesses, who are guilty of ra'ik peijury. and it has excited my wrath, and have denounced them lu plain language. I hate the mean deception of the prosecution. M y opinion of District Attorney Corkhill Is well known. The defense has been unfortunate in not having sufficient counsel, but notwithstanding this. I expect justice to be done me and the motive, inspiration, vindicated. The people are saying, "Well, if the Lord did it, let it go." I expect this spirit will grow I am highly pleased with General Arthur. He is doing splendidly in his new position. Had General Garfield done "8 well, he probably would have been alive to-day. He was a great man, but a weak politician. I am especially pleastd with Gene'fll Arthur's conciliatory spirit and wisdom toward ihe opposition. It is exactly what I wished him to do, viz.: Unite the facitous of the Repub lican party to the end that the Nation may be hopny and prosperous. SJy lite has been a rather sad one. My mother died when I was seven. My father was a good man aud an able one. but a fanatic on religion. Under his influence I got into the Oneida Community at nineteen and remained six years. Three years alter thi- I was unfortunately married, and so continued for years. S ton after I was divorced I went Into theology three years.

My life in the Oneida Community was one of constant sunenng. My married life was the same. My theological life was one of anxiety, but I was happier at that than anything el se, because I wa serving the Lord. My life i as been isolated During my six years in the Oueida f'omm unity I got estranged from my relatives. I might as well have been in the State Prison or Lunatic Asylum. I was never able to f rgive my father for runni g me into mat i-ommuuny. it it nad not be, u for this I should have had a far hsppier life, b'it let it go. Forgetting things bchi d. I press forward. I have i ti doubt as to my spiritual destiny. I have a. ways been a lover of the Lord, an whether l live one year or thirty. I am His. As a ma'tercf fact I presume I shah live to bj President. To-day eighteen hundred and eighty-one years ago, the Savior of mankind was born into poverty and obscurity. He moved upaud down Judeaand spoke as one having authority. A vast multitude followed him. He cast out devils, healed the sick, restored the blind and diseased; told the multitude who he was and what he came for; that God, the Father, had sent himtop dutto the way of eternal life. Thi wonderlul being had nonhrre tolsy his head. He had no money; he had no iiieuds. he never traveled; he never w rote books; he was hated, despised and finally crucified as a vile imooster. Then back he went to the bosom of the Father. During His miuis ry, he drew around himself a few dispised individuals who were as poor as himself. 1 hey had no money and no standing iu society, and were mostly fishermen. Outwardly, like other great events in human history, the origin of Christianity wasau absolute failure II was hke seed planted aud it had to grow little by little. Time has developed it into a gigantic tree overhanging the habituable globe. A mob crucified the Savior of mankind, and Paul, His great apostle, went to an ignominious death This happened many centuries ago. For eighteen centuries no man has exerted such a tremendous influence on civilization of race as the dcspl e1 Gallileau and his great apostle. They did their work and left the result with the Almighty Father, and so must al 1.1 nspired meu. i hey i us; d i their work aud leave the result with the Deity, whatever becomes of them personally. The worst thai meu can do i to kill you, but thev can not prevent jour name and work from going thundering down the ageg God always avenges those who injure his men. Christ's contemporaries crucified the Almighty's uly son, but He got even wlih the Jewish rate at the destruction of Jerusalem, A. D. 70, when Titus, the Roman General, razed thatctty to the ground, and slaughtered over l.lOO.iOO Jews, and nom that day-to this the Jews have been a despied and downtrodden race. The mills of the gods griud slowly but they grind 6ure. Woe unto any man or men that iersecute God's roan. The Almighty will follow them in this world and the next. Take my own ease. hen the pressure to remore the President I came on me 1 spent two week's iu prayer to Hinke sure of the Diety's will. At ihe etid f two wet ks my mind wa. fixed as to Dollttcal necesslt v of nis removal. 1 uever bad the slightest doubt abut the divinity for the set and necessity f r it. Thus far the Deity has fathered the act to my euti e satisfaction. He knows I simnlv exe cuted His will. I know it, and a great many peo ple are beginning to see it, aud they will see i? more aud more as lime advances. I put up my Hie on tne Deity's iuspirat'on. and I Lave not come to grief yet ai d have no idea 1 shall, tiecause I do not think I am destiued to be shot or hung. but that is a matter for the Dieiy to i.ass on. not me Whatever may be my exit from ihis world I have no doubi but my name aud work will go thuti dering down the ages, but woe unto the men that Mill me privately or judicially.

The other five weeks hv been used up in the de-feu-e for their direct examinations, in inen long cross examinations, aud in the interruptions of the prisoner." Mr. Corkhill does not think; that THE QUKSTION-OF JUEIPDICTIOX will be rais d, aith uzh it may be at auy time yet bef re the trial is closed. He nas a plan for stopping the insolence of the prisoner in i 'ourt. He said: I would place a bi man, like Peiry Carsou, beside him, with instructions to clap his hand over his mouth whenever he talked. 1 hat's about the way they do in a court martial when the pilsoner becomes disorderly. A big sergeant twists his collar if he makes too much rai ker. This man is very quiet aud orderly in Jail, bee use there is authority there. Everything is solemn, and he fears to be punished." Guiteau's relatives have given up all hope of an acquittal, aud realize that the prisoner is EN ROCTE TO THK GALLOWS. John Guiteau, in an Interview to-day, admitted this. He said at the outset that ttie pi isoner received about 300 letters a day. They are no longer sent to him. He continued: "We have not time to read them. Theie are too many other important things to do. It would not be proper, cf c ur-e, to send them to him. Allowing him to hold levees, read papers, tee letters, send out letters, aud things oi that sort, is not right in principle. A prisoner so situated miht gel up a conspiracy. Of course there is nothiag of ihat.kind to be feared in this cae." "What is your opinion as to the result of the trial?" "1 believe the Jury will hang him, sane or insane. I have always told our people so. The tendency of tkia expert testimony has been very strong sgaiust him. These gentlemen have the theory that there can not be iusauity witnout disease. We knew as sooo as they came here aud began to ask whether he hal beeu bickor not what their testimony would be. Tnese gentlemen are honest in their theory, but their theory is wrong. Tney are partisan defenders of a new idea. When sharp lawyers began to giiti acquittal on thu ground of emotional insanity and mooomauia the experts got together and decided inau the brain must be found to be diseased lu order to establish iusauity. It U a theory that would hang any man. The truth is, MY BROTH LK IS AX IDIOT. "Yes, an idiot," coutinued Mr Guiteau in response to an exclamation of surprise, "there are different kinds of i dols. He was Lorn without ordinary common sense." "He ought to be thinking about other things," saia Mr. Guiteau, speaking of the letters received for the prisoner, "lie ought to be thinking about his latter end " "Iu the event of his being hanged, what disposition will be made of his ooJy?" "1 have my opiuiou, but 1 don't like to give it." He hesitated a moment and then orercjming his momentary scruple said: "1 mint the prosecution will oo any thing to justify itu lr c urse, aud there will be no post-mortem examination male.' Mr. Guiteau further exposed the opiuiou that the Jury would not be out m r j tha i two hours before rendering a verdict ol conviction, "ihe truth Is," he said, " the pressure of puolic opinion is too great.
