Freeman Murray will contribute some versatile articles to the Leader, for Cincinnati readers, in some of our near issues. Where is Cincinnati's Dramatic Organization for all the splendid talent which she can produce at a single command has become so dormant, so lethargic as not tobe able to assert Itself. For real talent and energetic genius "there's always room at the top." Miss Mattie Berry, recently att ick 1 by some strange spell, is regaining her reason. Mrs. Isaac Smith is at present residing with her daughter, Mrs. Wm. Buckner, of West Walnut Hills. Wm. Taylor is among our most prominent political leaders. We are pleased to learn that the genial gentleman, Fred. D. Anderson, is regaining health and vigor. Our friend, George Comley, is bringing up a musical genius, having a very young son who can more than rival some of our stage tenors. Mrs. Jas. E. Goggins, of Harrison street is basking in the sunshine of the South. We had the pleasure of meeting the Beethoven Quintette and were singularly impressed by their unique rendition of some of the most popular song. of the day. Messrs.

Ulggs, one, if not the ablest contributor to that publication well, he failed to get a hearing. Such things should not be. "Honand shame from no condition rise." The Spring elections are near at hand and political rings are becoming distinctly visible. The political situation among the colored element of this city is a study for youth filled with the happy dreams of a millennium, or for age experienced on life's many battle fields of vic tory and defeat. Men known tnroughout the land both as oratcrs and scholars, and the once Acknowledged leaders in every political movement are being steadily, though not at times undeservedly, pushed to the near by energetld yeomen who know how to serve their own interests by defending those of the masses. That worthy body of gentlemen, the Walters' Mutual Aid orgonlzation, will make 17th of the coming March a most memorable occasion, for on that day one year ago that organization was an infant, and the members of the body propose to render its first anniversary one of the grandest affairs that has ever graced any banquet hall, for banqueting will be the order of the celebration.

Tuhnelton, Ind., Feb. 6. This unusually quiet place is to-day the scene of the most terrible excitement ever witnessed in thli part of the State. Yesterday it was whispered on the streets that the town was to be robbed and then set on fire. It has been learned that the conspiracy was entered Into on Tuesday last by Ben Willabe, Edgar Wilson, Zack Whitted, and Nick Bond. Bond Urea here with his mother, is single, and In his eighteenth year. Tne others are married, and range from twenty-eight to thirty-five years, and live in the neighborhood and are regarded as among the worst men in Southern Indiana. Another man wbose name can not now be given was in their secrets aad gave the plan away. A letter written by the clan and intended for one who was to assist them in their damnable seheme was propped on the street Saturday night, but was picked up by an innocent man. This letter gave the same programme as that given to the confidant. The arrangement was for Willabe. Wilson Whitled and Bond to meet here last night at 12 o'clock and rob Meyer's saloon, where it was understood a large amount of money had been received only a few days ago. As soon as this was done they were to set fire to the Browidng Hotel, the largest house here, which would attract the people of the town. This being done the robbers were to eo to the residence of Hon. Alfred Guth rie, rob his safe, and then visit the residence of his brother. Marshall Guthrie, where was also a safe, both of which were thought to contain large sums of money. The lit e oi action being known, some twenty to thirty citizens, armed witb tides, shot-guns and revolvers, secreted themselves in a box car lying on a side-track not more than thirty feet from the saloon. Just be fore 12 o clock the four men put in an appearance, pried up the sash In the saloon window, when WllBon, Whitted and Bond crept in the saloon and left Willabe on the outside to stand guard. The robbers came out In some fifteen minutes without securing their prey, but were pretty well filled up with ' snake juice." Just as the last one alighted from the wiudow the men in the car opened a deadly fire upon them, and Whitted fell dead in his track and Wilson ran about a hundred yards and fell upon the ground a corpse, with the entire front and left side of his face blown away. Row many other shots he or Whitted received is not known, as the Coroner has not yet arrived. Bond fell mortolly wounded, and was taken to bis mother's residence, with ten shots in his head, body and legs. Re can not live but a short time. Wilson Is under indictment in the Jackson Court for rape, and a bill would have been fonnd against him by the next Grand Jury in this County for the same crime. Your reporter was on the ground to-day and viewed the three men, and found everybody excited. 1 might state here that Willabe. seeing bis comrades falUnjf thick upon the ground, took leg bail, has not been heard from and it is not believed ever will be, and the end Is not yet. Lieutenant Danenhauer Ordered Home. Washington, Feb. 4. Secretary Hunt to-day telegraphed Lieutenant Danenhauer, at Irkutsk, Russia, at follows: "Owing to the condition of your health the order to remain and search for the survivors of the Jeannette is revoked. Return home, bringing invalids with you." Washington, Feb. 4. Nearly 100 Navy officers have made application by letter, or telegraph, or by help of influential friends to the Secretary of the Navy, to be ordered to go in search of De Long and the missing boats ofthe Jeannette. Many spplWnts are officers on easy duty, or on leave, and the general zeal to go to the rescue of the Jeannette's crew is highly creditable to the spirit The Secretary of the Navy received the follow, ing cable dispatch from James Gordon Bennett, who is in Paris: "Permit me to suggest in reference to the request of Lieutenant Danenhauer to go back and continue the search, that in view of his condition be should be ordered home. If he returns to the North there is a strong possibility of his losing his eye-siht entirely, but on bis way home he could have the best medical attention and perhaps regain the use of both his eyes. Nor does it seem to me necessary to send line officers from America. It would only put the Government to unnecessary expense, as I have already sent a man who is now on bis way to Irkutsk ; and Slberiakoff having kinaly placed his teamer, the Lena, at my disposal, the search for De Long and Chippcan. with the assistance of the Russian authorities, be continued with all possible energy and efficiency at the earliest practicable moment. If Danenhaner and the invalids under bis charge are ordered home, I will see they have all possible care and the best medical advice on the way, I make the suggestion en tirely without Dauenhaner's knowledge. "James Gordon Bennett." The Secretary of the Navy cabled Bennett in reply that he has sent orders for the return of Lieutenant Danenhaner, in accordance with Bennett's suggestion, and he has already ordered two o nicer to Europe to take part in the search for Captains De Long and Chlpp. and that he thinks this necessary in case of accident to Engineer Melville and as a matter of duty from the Navy to the officers and men in distress. Badly Hurt. Shortly after 3 o'clock Thursday morning, just after the early Vandalia train had pulled into the Union Depot from the West, the I., D. and 8. pony engine No. 64, Engineer Jettie and Switchman Morris Dal ton in charge, was backing west. When they arrived at Tennessee street, Ed Teckbrock, the Union Railway switchman, refused to throw the switch for them, as another Vandalia passenger train was due in a few minutes, and he was afraid of a collision. Dal ton sword that he would go west with the engine, szid to do so he threw the switch. Teckbrock threw it back, when Dal ton struck him over the head with his lantern, cutting a gash two incnes long in the scalp and knocking him senseless. As soon as the blow, was struck Dal ton jumped on the engine and went across the river.

The Sullivan-Ryan Fight at Mississippi City. The Troy Giant Knocked Oat of Time in Twenty-Six Minutes. SULLIVAN WINS. The Boston Pugilist Knocks Ryan Oat of Time in Nine Hounds, Fought In Twentysix Minutes. Mississippi City, Feb. 7. Trains nn from New Orleans with people to witness the fight between Ryan and Sullivan arrived here about 11 o'clock. The crowd consisted of sporting meu from all sections of tie country and many prominent citizens of New Orleans. A large number of newspaper correspondents, representing promireut papers of the North and West, were also in attendance. Sullivan arrived on the ground at 10:30, and took a room at the hotel opposite Ryan's, within 100 feet of tin ring, which was pitched in front of the Barnes Hotel, in a grove of live oaks. Sullivan cast his cap into the ring at 11:45 by the Judges' time, amidst great enthubiam. One hundred to eighty dollars wis accepted on Sullivan. Sullivan is seconded by Billy Madder, Joe Goss and Arthur Chambers. Ryan entered the ring at 11:55 amid enthusiastic cheers, accompanied by Tom Kelley and Johnny Roach. Ryan won the choice of corners and took the southwest corner. Sullivan has the sun in his face. The men were ready to commence business, but there was difficulty about a referee. Both parties agreed on James D. Houston, of New Orleans, who refused to act. Charles Rush also refused. The dispute over a referee was settled by choosing Alexander Brewster, of New Orleans, and Jack Hardy, of Vicksburg, jointly. THE riOHT. At exactly 11:53 the men toed the scratch and shook hands for the first round. Both men sparred cautiously for the opening. Ryan led with his right, which fell short, catching in return a hot one from Sullivan's left in the face. The changes then became short and quick. Sullivan finally knocked him down with a severe right-hander on the cheek. Time, 30 seconds. Second round Sullivan at or.ee rushed to his man and let go his left, which caught Kyan on the jaw. Kyan closed with him and they wrestled for the fall, which Ryan won, falling heavily on his opponent. Time, 25 seconds. Third round The men came together with a rush, and Sullivan, after making three passes, knocked Ryan down with a terrible right-hander on the chest. Time, 4 seconds. Fourth roundThe men sparred for per haps a second or two; both feinted, and then Sullivan went for Rvan's face, rmttii.er in stinging blows on his nob before they closed. The slugging then commenced and continued until Ryan was forced onto the ropes, where he went to grass. Time of round, 20 seconds. Fifth round This was a repetition of the above round, both men closing and putting in their best licks, the attack of both being confined to the face. Ryan succeeded in bringing Sullivan to his knees at the close. Sixth round Sullivan came up smiling, but it was evident Ryan was not only suffering, but was somewhat afraid of his antagonist. Sullivan lost no time, but went in to win. Ryan, however, closed and downed him. Seventh round This round was a short one, and the men closed. The slugging continued for a few seconds, when Ryan went to the grass a wreck. -Sullivan came to his corner smiling. Ryan, however, had grit to come up for another round. Eighth round The men, on call of time, came up promptly. Ryan was decidedly weak, but made a gallant struggle. Sullivan fought him all over the ring and into the umpire's corner and over the ropes. Getting off ropes he rallied, but went down on a knee and hand. A foul was looked for, but, though Sullivan had his hand raised to strike, he restrained himself as Ryan rose. Both men were returning to their corner, when the seconds of each cried, "Go for him," and, the men resonding, came together. They closed and clinched, and, after a short struggle, both men want down. Ninth and last round Ryan came up groggy, and Sullivan at once forced him into his corner, delivering one heavy blow, but Ryan recovered and drove Sullivan out, and just beyond the middle of the ring Sullivan got in a right-hander under the left ear, and Ryan went down senseless. When time was called Ryan did not resrond. and the fight was declared in favor of Sullivan amid great cheering. Time, 2G minutes. The conditions of the agreement were that the fight should be for $2,500 a side, and should take place within a twenty-four foot ring, within 100 miles of New Orleans, on Tuesday, February 7. The fight was originally arranged by spprting men of New York and Boston, and Mr. Fox, the proprietor of the New York Police Gazette, was made temporary stakeholder. AFTER THE BATTLE. Ryan and Sullivan were visited after they had gone to their quarters. Kyan was lying in an exhausted condition on his bed, badly disfigured about his face, his upper lip being cut through and his nose disfigured. He did not move, but lay panting. Stimulants were given nim to restore him. He is terribly punished about the head. At the conclusion of the fight Sullivan ran to his quarters at a lively gait, and, laughing, he lay down for a while, a little out of wind, but there was not a sctatch on him. He chatted pleasantly with his friends. The fighting was short, sharp and decisive on Sullivan's part throughout, Ryan showing weariness after the first round. WHY RYAN LOST THE FIGHT. Immediately after the fight Ryan was visited in his quarters by a well-known physician with the intention of giving him medical assistance if any was needed. His pulse was normal, and his chief injuries consisted of a welt on the left side of the neck, where he had been struck a terrible blow in the second round, gashed lips and a cut over the eye, together with considerable concussions about the body. After an examination the doctor stated that Ryan was suffering from hernia, and must have been in great pain during the light. He advised him to forsake the ring. Ryan stated he in tended giving up pugilism as he did not think he was suited by nature for that kind of business. He said he considered Sullivan a born prize fighter, and a very r f, t a. r il.. ? iormiuame opponent in tue ring, In regard to his defeat, Ryan spoke calmly, admitting he had been fairly whipped, but at the same time stating he had been sick during the night. and was partially disabled early in the ac tion by the falling of his truss. It is said he suffered great pain and felt in no condition to fight, and but for the fact the people would have considered him a coward he would not have appeared in the ring under any circumstances. Johnny Koacn, Ryan s trainer, and W. E. Harding, the representa tive of his backer, considered the fight a fair one and had no complaint to make, rox Ryan's backer, lost $8.500. Between $100, 000 and $200,000 is supposed to have changed hands. 8ULLlVA'g FIGHTING QUALITIES. The result was in accordance with the ex

pectations of many keen .observers of the two men. They relied upoi Sullivan's wonderful hitting powers and remarkable skill as a two-handed fighter ta win him the battle. From the start he acted on the offensive, attacking his opponent with violence amounting almost to; ferocity, breaking down Ryan's guards with his terrific blows, and following ip the attack by clinching and wrestling. But little science was displayed, the rounds being short and sanguinary, ending in a fall or knock-down. This plan of attack, it is conceded, could not have been carried out for any great length of time, but Sullivan's friends relied for success upon quick wort. ' Sullivan and his party took an excursion train for New Orleans soon after the fight. Ryan, Roache and Harding went there in the evening, and leave for their homes to-morrow. what, hcbti. Troy, N. Y., Feb. 7. Ran's defeat costs Trojans from $10,000 to $15,000.

John L. Sullivan. John L. Sullivan was matched to fight J. L Donaldson with hard gloves Ux a purse. Cincln uati, O , was the battle ground The tight was decided Decenber 23, 1880. and it was a oil e-sided affair. Don ald.no n was no match for Sullivan. The Bostou champion knocked Donaldson all to pieces in eleven raiautes. Sullivan then weut to New York and gave an exhibition at Harry Hill's. Sullivan offered any pugilist in America $50 vho would spar four rounds Queensbury rules. Jobu Marian, of Jersey City, better kuown as Steve Taylor, agreed to face the Boston pugilist, and Harry II ill was referee. Sullivan knocked Taylor out of time in two rounds. Sullivan was then matched to fight John Flood, with gloves, for a purse of 1750. The battle was fought on a barge ou the liaison River on May 16. 181. Sullivan proved that he had greatly improved. He outfought Flood in eight rounds, lasting sixteen minutes. Sullivan quit the ring without receiving any punishment worth mentioning. Since that be has fought la numer ous sparring exhibitions iu Philadelphia, Chicago and New York, and gained. The following are the pugilists who luve fallen victims to Sullivan's sledge-hammer mawlevs: Joe Goss, ex-champion of England; George Kooke, oi New lork; Xan Dwyer, of Springfield, Mass. : Steve Taylor, of Jersey City: Frea.Ciosslev. of Philadelphia; John Flood, of New York; Byrne, the Michigan Giant, and Jack Stewart of Canada. The above battles were not fought with London prize rin rules. John L. Sullivan was born in Ireland, October 15,188. He stands five feet ten and a half inches in his stockings and weighs 175 pounds trained in condition. He was brought up in Boston, and since he was sixteen years of age he has figured at boxing exhibitions in Boston. By constant ex ercise his muscles were greatly developed, and nis many aamirers scyiea mm "strong nor" Sullivan, lie first gained notoriety in the pugilistic world by knockiog Joe Goes out of time In a box ing bout at Boston. Sullivan's terrific hitting on this occasion crest ed quite a sensation. George Kooke, the pugilist, who had gained considerable reputation in the firize ring, was invited to Boston to spar with 8ulivan, and the Boston Hercules served Kooke, the auctioneer, in just the same manner as he did hngland s great champion. Sullivan accompanied the crowd to the Ryan and Goss fizzle at Erie, Fa., in June, 1880, and offerea to fight John Donaldson, of Cleveland, O., who was claimed to be a terror with his mawleys. Donaldson refused to meet the Boston champson, however. Paddy Byan. Patrick Ryan was born in the town of Thurlis. County Tipperary, Irelaud, March 15, IH53. He is one-hall an loch more than a "six-footer" without shoes, and ordinary his weight la 221 pounds. During the early part of April, 1878, John Dwyer and Joe Goss were fulfilling an engagement at Harry Martin's Grand Conceit Theater, Troy, and while they were there, Kyan aud his friends indulged in considerable fight talk. On the loth ef said month Johnnie ana fatnappenea to meet in a saloon, where each gave expressiou to his feelings, and the upshot was that Kyan's backer put up t-iO against a like sum in support of abeithat Dywer wouldn't make a match for l.dOO a side to fight in Canada, within fifty miles of Buffalo. The principals and their packers met at the appointed time, and before separating a match for I2.0CO and the championship, to be decided between July 15 and 25. 1878, was ratified. Un June 22, Byan, accompa nied by his trainers, Joe Goss aud Jim Turner. came down from his training quarters at Sand Lake, N. Y., the two former having been engaged, to spar at an entertainment gotten up in Brook lyn by Kenuey, the bill-poster. The attendance at the affair, which took place at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds that afternoon, was rather light, and as the promoter wouldn't live up to his agreement as regards remuneration for services. Paddy and Joe declined to appear. That evening, when on their way to and within a few blocks of the ferry to New York, the trio were assaulted by eight or nine persons. Ryan being knocked down, stabbed in the left side near the kidneys, kicked in the face, cutting his lip and knocking out two sound front teeth. His companions were but slightly hurt. Kvan was conveyed to the hruse of Charley Johnson, then Dwyer's principal backer, where nis wounas were dressed, the stab btiug luuna to be of little consequence, although narrowly es caping a vital part. Next aay rauay leit ir Troy, not wnning to oe detained as a witness against the half dozen whites and negroes who were arrested for the assault. some of whom were tried, convicted and impris oned ior tne onense. The injuries received threw Ryan out of train ing for same time, and although Dwyer offered to put the day of fighting off a reasonable length of time. Paddy's backers, seemingly anxious to get rid of the business, which was giving them dis trustful notoriety, allowed the matcn to i&n through, the failure to choose a final stakeholder affording them the opportunity they sought. Kyan's onlv battle in the prize ring was wun Joe Goss. They fought for f'J.OuO a side and the championship, at Collier's Station, W. V a.. June 2, 1880. Kyan won in eighty-seven rounds, fought iu one hour aud twenty minutes. The Pummeled Pugilist. Nkw Orleans, Feb. 8. Ryan is at the hotel here, su fieri ng considerably from the punishment of yesterday, but will be all right in a day or two. Troy, Feb. 8. Paddy Ryan's wife says: "I do not believe Paddy has fought. I have heard nothing from him except through the newsDaners. . He told me when he fought he would send a dispatch whether he won or lost. I think the report he was whipped is all paper news. It was just so before the Goss tight The newspapers said a week before the fight took place, that it was over, and Paddy was whipped; and Sullivan never could whip Paddy. I know he could not." Mrs. Gettins, Ryan's mother-in-law, brandished her bare arm and said: "No, indeed, he couldn't. I coald lick that man Sullivan meself." j Opposing; the Apportionment Bill. Washington, Feb. 8. Indications point very clearly to the rejection of the pending apportionment bill in the House in its present shape. Democrats are generally against it and many Republicans openly oppose it. Representative Blackburn says it is an unjust measure; that it ignores rapidly growing Western States, and gives increase in representation to Eastern. States that are declining in population. He says it will be rejected by forty majority. Mr. Page says it is founded upon injustice, and it will be beaten badly. Mr. Blount says it is infamous and the method of apportionment on which it Is based is outrageous. He is satisfied it will be beaten. Mr. Pound feels sure the bill will be rejected. The Speaker is opposed to it,' and predicts its defeat. It was supposed that, as the bill conferred the increase proposed upon larger States it would get the support of the delegations from these States, but this is not so. Several members from Pennsylvania now do not think the bill ought to pass.. One substitute that will be offered for the pending bill will propose to fix the membership of the House at 321, as that would distribute the representation, it is claimed, more equitably among the fractions than any other number. Democrats generally favor a smaller number, and it will be proposed from their side to keep the House at its E resent figures, 293. Some of those who ave studied the drift of opinion think 307 will be the number nnaiiy selected. "Money is active," Foee read in the news paper. "That's bo," he said: "it's active ' enough to keep out of my reach."

SENTENCED.

Belief That He Wilt Not Have to Be Hanged Judge Cox: to Dispose of the Corpse. Washington, Feb. 2. Guiteau is beginning to show much nervousness and irritability. He is suffering from a severe cold which has inflamed his eyes. One of the Jail officials says he would not be surprised if Guiteau did not live to be hanged. John W. Guiteau last evening spent an hour in his brother's cell in company with Warden Crocker. The prisoner became very much excited and denounced his brother and Scoville. John W. Guiteau, in a card to the public, disavows all knowledge of the proposed exhibition of his brother's body and says, whether his brother dies by legal process or in an Insane Asylum, the body will re disposed of in a manner that will not offend public decency. In view of the recent propositions to make a public spectacle of Guiteau's remain?, though highly probable, J udee Cox will exercise the discretion given him by the Revised Statutes, and include in the death sentence the disposition of the body. Scoville pronounces the story that Mrs. Scoville is insane as false. He says she is naturally under a high state of excitement, but her mind is entirely sound. He also declares the story of her having raised a row in the Daniels House. Chicago, as false; that it was made out of whole cloth. He declares there is not a word of truth in it He and other relatives of Guiteau have no doubt the body of the assassin will be delivered to them after the execution. He appears to reSard favorably the proposition to exhibit the ody of the assassin, but John Guiteau denounces it, and says it shall not be done. Scoville has expended his means in the trial, and it is said he would not object to being reimbursed by the sale of the body in case Guiteau is executed. The Assassin Issues Another Document, Correcting a Few Errors and Announcing the Prices for His Autograph, and Photographs to the Trade. Washington, Feb. 3. Guiteau gave to the press today the following document, which-he headed: "Errors Corrected." He had expected to read it to the Court, but being stopped in that direction concluded, as he remarked, to "test the efficiency of the press." A tramp said I stole his 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 newspaper devils to notice, and I want them to let me alone. This is hard, but it is true. I never saw such a diabolical spirit as some newspapers have toward 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 ought to be. done, viz: 'Remove him. When God formed a man that had the brains and nerve to de.it these newspaper devils deify Gartield 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 I had been President and wrecked the Republican party as Garfield did, I say I ought to have been shot; and posterity will say so whatever this perverse and crooked generation may say. 4 Ye generation of vipers, how 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 good men.' My mail comes to the Jail now. Any friend wishing to see me in person or write to roe can do so. Anyone having sent me an important letter and received no answer can write again and I will see it is answered. No notice is given to anonymous or crank letters, except to put them in the waste baskets. All checks should be certified; then I should know they are good. Autographs, twenty-five 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 genuine without my autograph is on it They will be supplied to the trade only by me for $9 per 100. This is the only way of getting money to pay my counsel to argue my case in Banc. If 1 give my autograph away and make an appeal I get nothing, lhis negative will be a great improvement every way on the sitting of July 2, taken by Bell. My hair is parted and 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 circumstances 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 myeelf for some time yet. Scoville'a 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 da so any wav if I get out of here. chakes uuiteatt, United States Jail. Washington, D. C, February 2, 1882. As Scoville concluded his remarks to day Guiteau reached over to a reporter and whispered: "I had intended to put Scoville off of this case, but he is doing so well I shall let him stay. He is doing splendidly to-day." Judge Cox Overrules ScdvIIIe's Motion and Sentences Oniteau to Hang June 30. Washington, Feb. 4.r-As soon as Judge Cox entered the Court room and Court was formally opened the prisoner took his place in the dock. and did not repeat his request of yesterday to be allowed to sit at the counsel's table. Scoville stated that he wished to say that since the adjournment of Court be had been Informed that Curtis, who made the affidavit relative to the Critic matter, was not the bailiff in charge of the room at the lime the paper was fonnd; that he bad been substituted for a man by the name of Sliner. who was in charge at the time the paper was found.and who was withdrawn by the prosecution. 'This man," said BcovlUe, "I am told, knows about the paper, and I can in ten minutes summon as a witness a party who will say that the man Slluer was heard to remark that if that matter of the Critic should become known he (Sliner) would have to jump the town." Colonel Corkhill objected to the evident at tempt to postpone the consideration of this matter. If every bit of hearsay gossip was to be dragged in here, there would never be any end to questions. 8oovllle replied that he did not ask for a postponement; he simply desired to call the attention of the Court to the information he had received as shewing how Important It was to investigate the matter with the closest scrutiny. JUDO I C0X8 DECISION. Judge Cox Immediately beiran to read trom manuscript his decision upon the motion. Reading from various authorities bearing upon the case. Judge Cox discussed at some length the clrcumstanc a attending the finding of the newsper in the room of one of the bailiffs of the Jury n the case. "First to the haudwrlting. There were several circumstances that make it Impossible that at least two of the names upon the margin of the paper were written by the gentlemen themselves. Secondly If, as suggested, this paper was lying on the table in the bailiff's room, and the gentlemen of the Jury In writing in an album first tried their pens upon the margin, it would amount to nothing in the face of the affidavits of every member of the Jury that they did not see or read a paper at any time during the trial. No one could swear to the tact that the J urora did write upon the paper, while they all swevr they did cot and there Is no reason to doubt their veracity. 8o far as the discovery of new evidence is concerned, the evidence to be introduced Is as to the prisoner's manner and appearance prior to the assassination. If there had been no evidence introduced upon this subject, there might be some force in the request, but a dozen or more witnesses tesUfied on trial as to bis manner aad appearance, covering a period of time from March to the commission of the act i The evidence now sought to be Introduced would

ba merely cumulative and not affect the verdict" As to the expert witness, whose admission after trial are alleged to have been different from bis evidence given upon trial. Judge Cox said that an unsworn admission of this character could never be considered as a ground for overturning a verdict that may have been obtained through the evidence of the very witness who from corrupt motives might seek to reverse a verdict "Frem all the papers presented," Judge Cox summed up, "I am unable to find any reason to grant the motion, which is therefore overruled." EXCEPTIONS TAKEN. Scoville I would like to note an excepUon to the ruling of the Court ColonelCorkhill Your Honor, it now becomes myduty Scoville One moment please: I would like to file In due form the motion which I referred to yesterday. Scoville then filed his motion In arrest of judgment. Guiteau, who had been permitted to resume his seat at the counsel table, called out: "If Your Honor please, I desire to ask if there is any motion I can make to receive my rights?" Scoville tried to prevent his speaking, but he repeated, "Well, I don't want any advantages taken of me. I want to know how much time I shall have to prepare my appeal to the Court in Banc." ! Scoville Please keep quiet. We have not reached that yet, Guiteau (with much excitement) I won't keep quiet I am here and 1 propose to do my own talking. Judge Cox then informed Scoville of the rules of practice applicable to the filing of his exceptions, and after this matter had been arranged, Colonel Corkhill renewed his motiou, saying: "It is now my duty to ask for the sentence of the Court." Judge Cox (to the prisoner) Stand up. Have you anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon you ? Guiteau (still sitting) I ask Your Honor to postpone sentence as long as possible. Judge Cox Staad up. Have yeu anything to say why sentence should not now be pronounced upon you." The prisoner then arose pale, but with lips compressed and desperate determination stamped upon his features. In a low and deliberate tone be began, but soon his manner became wild and violent, and pounding upon the table, delivered himself of the following harangue: "1 am not guilty of the charge set forth in the indictment. It was God's act not mine, and God wiU take care of it, and don't let the American people forget it. He will take care of it, and every officer of this Government, from the Executive down to that Marshal, taking In every man on that Jury and every member of this Bench, will pay for it, and the American Naiiou will roll in blood, if my body goes into the ground, and I am hung The Jews put the despised Galilean in the grave and for the time they triumphed, but at the destruction of Jerusalem, forty years afterward, the Almighty got even with them. I am not afraid of death. 1 am here as God's man. Kill me to-morrow, if you want I am God's man, and I have been from the start" . . THE SENTENCE. Judge Cox then proceeded to pass sentence, addressing the prisoner as follows: "You have been convicted of a crime so terrible in its circumstances and so far-reaching in its results, that it has drawn upon you the horror of the whole world and the execrations of your countrymen. The excitement produced by such an offense made it no easy task to secure for yon a fair and impartial trial, but you have had the power of the' United States Treasury and of the Government in your service to protect your person from violence and to procure evidence irom all parts of the country. "You have had as fair and impartial a Jury as ever assembled in a Court of Justice. You have been defended by counsel with a zeal and devotion that merit the highest encomium, and I certainly have done my best to secure a fair presentation of yourdefeuse. Notwithstanding aU this, you have been lound guilty. It would have been a comfort to many people, if the verdict of the Jury had established the fact that your act was that of an irresponsible man. It would have left the satisfying - belief that the crime of political assassination was something entirely foreign to the institutions and civilization of out country. Bat the result has denied them thau comfort. The country will accept it as a fact that that crime can be committed and the Court will have to deal with it with the highest penalty known to the criminal code to serve as an example to others. Your career has been so extraordinary that the people might well, at times, have doubted your sanity, but one can not but believe that when the crime was committed you thoroughly understood the nature of the crime and its consequences ' Guiteau I was acting as God's man. " 'And that you had moral sense and?conscience enough to reeognize the moral iniquity of such an act." The prisoner That's a matter of opinion. "Your owu testimony shows that you recoiled with horror from the idea. You say that you prayed against it. Yen say that you thought It might be prevented. This shows that your conscience wartud you against it, but by the wretched sophistry of your own mind you worked yourself . up against the protest of your owu conscience. What motive could have induced you to commit this act must be a mat.er of conjecture. Probably men will think that some fanaticism or morbid det-lie for selfexaltation was the real inspiration for the act. Your own testimony seems to controvert the theories of your counsel, who have maintained and thought, honestly. I believe, that you were driven against your will by an Insane impulse. The testimony showed that you deliberately resolved to do it, and that a deliberate and misguided will was the sole impulse. This may seem to be insan ity to'someipersons.but law ooks upon it as willful crime. You will have due opportunity of having any errors I may have committed during the course of the trial passed upon by the Court in Banc, but meanwhile it is necessary for me to pronounce the sentence of law that you be taken hence to the Common Jail of the District from whence you came, and there be kept in confinement and on Friday, the 30th day of June, 1882, you be taken to the place prepared for execution within the walls of said Jail, and there, between the hours of 12 m. and 2 p. m., you be hanged by the neck until you are dead, aud may the Lord have mercy on your soul." THE PRISONER'S DEMEANOR. During the reading Guiteau stood apparently unmoved, and with his gaze riveted upon the Judge, but when the final words were spoken he struck the table violently and ihouted, "And may the Lord have mercy on your soul. I'd rather stand where 1 do than where that Jury does, and where Your Honor does. I'm not afraid to die. I stand hero as God's man. and God Almighty will curse every man who has a part in procuring this unrighteous verdict. Nothing but good has come from Garfield's removal, and that will be the verdict of posterity on my inspiration. I don't care a snap for the verdict of this corrupt generation. I would rather a thousand times be in my position than that of those who have hounded me to death. I shall have a glorious flight to glory, but that miserable scoundrel Corkhill will have a permanent job down below, where the devil is preparing for him." After apparently talking himself out, the prisoner turned to his brother, and without the slightest trace of excitement conversed for some minutes before being taken from the Court room. Upon the arrival of Guiteau at the Jail he was

at once taken to his cell and a guard placed over him. This precaution is always observed in case of prisoners under sentence of death, and will be rigidly adhered to in the Guiteau cas?; both by night and by day. There is no foundation for the report that Guiteau committed suicide. ' The scene In Court to day was one that will never be forgotten by those fortunate . enough te be present for while it was touching, still there was a spice of sensation which rendered It a most interesting and memorable occasion As Judge Cox concluded passing sentence his voice trembled and there was a suspicious .moisture In his eyes, which he quickly brushed away-wfth his pocket handkerchief. The prisoner resumed his' 'accustomed" fplrita soon after his arrival at the Jail, and as he left the van made a pleasant allusion to the snow and disagreeable weather. He expoased co surprise at the action of Judge Cox In overruling the motion for a new trial, saying tht t he had not expected any different result Shortly after he was taken to bis cell his dinner was served. of -which he partook heartily and w ith apparent relish. Despite the gravity of the situation," Gnlteau, while in Court could not-refrain from giving a kick to bis counsel. Mr. Scoville, who has syorked so zealously and energetically to save him from the consequence of hi act. After- naiebing his tirade against the Court and Jury. Guiteau turned to Mr, ScovUle and 2 aakl, that 11 it had not ' been for " nis aadnine theories he would have been set free. Me volunteered the Information also that he had secured different counsel, who were the leading lawyers of this country, and that they had ' promised to Enll him through the Court In Banc without the elp of Mr. Scoville. As he said this, the prisoner was 'in his fiercest mood nd looked the personification of a fiend in human shape. The prisoner had been on his best behavior prior to the conclusion of Judge Cox's remarks, and only Interrupted once, when be declared that his act had been inspired by God, and trat he was not responsible. When it was made clear to him that he was at last to pay the penalty for his crime the change in his appearance was- at once terrible and repulsive, lie only seemed imbued with the one idea, which was to open his vials of abuse upon the Court for its sentence and the Jury for the verdict. After his brother had been taken to Jail Mr. John Guiteau was standing in the Marshal's office when the members of the Jury passed thron Rh on their way to pay their respects to Marshal Henry. Mr. Guiteau, addressing the foreman Mr. Hamlin -aud his associates,' said: "1 hear that you gentlemen are feeling hard toward me for my action in getting your autographs. I can assure you that I had not the slightest intention of using them against you, but simply desired to have them in my album as souveairs of this unfortunate affair." Mr. Brandenberg.one of the Jurors, whose name was alleged to have been ou the newspaper, grasped the speaker cordially by the hand, and retained it for a few seconds as he said: "Your brother was given the benefit of everything that could help him in any way, and the verdict that we rendered was according to our convictions, or it would have caused many of us to spend many sleepless nights.' , A group of women, who have made themselves conspicuous during the trial for their avowed sympathy for the prisoner, heard this last remark and sniffed contemptuously, saying In an undertone that the Jurors would yet live to regret their action in condemning an insane man. This same crowd was, however, around John Guiteau for a short time till he got rid of them by stating that the Jury had done their duty, - and that be believed his brother was doomed. After pressing him to put his name In their autograph albums, these worthies left their victim, who shortly afterward joined Mr. ScovUle and accompanied, him to the Jail. , ,
