Mr. Hammond introduced a bill to amend the provision of the Constitution relative to thé duties of the President and Vice-President of the United States. The Senate bill legalizing the Terrvitorial Legislature of New fiiexico was pussed, The Standing Comumittees were an‘nounced. Adjourned to January 5. Trial of Guiteau, the Assassin, THE Guiteau trial was resumed on the morning of the 21st. Dr. Allen Mc¢Lean Hamilton, of New York, testifled as an expert, and said that in his opinion the prisoner was res;éonsibly sane when he murdered the President. In’ reply to a Txestinn by the District-Attorney, witness said that many persons, medically insane, were yet able to appreciate the difference between right and wrong. Dr. Worcester, of | Salem, Mass., who refused, when on the stand | for the defense, to answer the hypothetica] question of Mr. Scoville, testified that, in hig opinion, the prisoner was a sane man,” In the cross-¢xamination the witness was required to explain at great length the foundation of his claim to be considered. an ex;t)ert, and was constantly interrupted and: abused both by Guiteau and hig counsel:. Mr. Scoville also came in for a share of Guiteau's abuse, the prisoner declaiming against Mr. Scoville’s methods, and declaring th?t if he Pa‘d been indicted for manslaughter arld had employed Scoviu}\ to defend him he would have been hung forimurder. Mrs. Scoville tried to pacify the prisoner, but he plainly told her she should attend to her own business and not interfere in | - matters that did not concern her. He also insisted that relatives were a nuisance anyhow, and that Mrs. Scoville had b&en an impracticable and unmitigated nuisance - all the wa§ through. Then guickly turning from anger to mirth, the prisoner added with a laugh; % You're a queer lot anyhow, you Scovilles.” At this point the Court adjourned. GUITEAU came into court on the 22d evidently laboring under strong excitement, but after a whisPorud consultation with, his counsel he calmed down, and Dr. Theodore Dimon, of Auburn, N. Y., took the witness-stand. The witness said that, judging by the evidence to. which he had listened, including that of the. prisoner himself, he had arrived at the conclusion that he was & sane man. When Mr. Scoville asked how old a physician had to-be before he was able to distinguish between a sane and insane man, witiress replied that although sixty-two years old, he was not yetold enough. Ifi;rmg the witness’ testimony the prisoner busied himself with opening his mail, and announced to the Court that he held in his hand a letter from Dr. Spitzka stating that he had received 200 letters congratulating him on his«xE testimony. At the conclision of the? cross-examination Guiteau shouted: *‘These experts may- be all high-toned, honorable men, but in my opinion they hang more men than the doctors kill. General Garfield would be alive to-day had it not been for the doctors. They completed what my shot bean. The Lord intended “he should go, and so g[e let the doctors kill him. He didn’t die before his time, though.” A witness named Shaw was placed upon t% stand, and, in reply to a question, stated that he had been indicted for geriury. but that it all arose from a migsappreension and he nad been acquitted. Mr. Scoville gave notice to Mr. Shaw to be prepared to detfend his character, as he had four witnesses to introduce whose testimony he (Shaw) would want to meet. Adjourned. _ ! IMMEDIATELY on the opening of the courton the 28d Guiteau said that he had been charged with abusing his counsel, Mr. Scoville. He said that Mr. Scoville was doing very well in | the case, eonsidering his theory, but he ;was 1 not a criminal lawyer. He was a fine exam-~ iner of titles, but he could not properly con- | duct a case where a human life was at issue. He conelnded by introducing Charles H. Reed as the counsel who would hereafter have charge of his defense. Mr, Scoville stated the embarrassments under which he I&bored, and asked the Court. to rule upon the propriety of Mr. Reed assuming the active duties of asspeiate counsel. The counsel for the prosecution and the Courtexpressed themselves satisfied with the arrangement. Some digcussion arose on the proposition to strike out some portions of Dr. Dimon’s testimony, when Guiteau became greatly - excited and said * I can't get justice here; I expect an act of God for my protection. - He has taken away the wife of one of the jurors, and, if.necessary, he will take one of these jurors right out of the box to save mwi_fe in the interest of truth and justice.” William A.Edward testified that he was a clerk in Shaw's law-office, and overheard -a_ -conversation between Shaw and | _the (frisioner, when the latter said he would some day kill a big man, as Booth had done: Witness gave an. account of a fraudulent real-estate transaction in which the prisoner attempted to involve him. Dr. Spencer H. Talcott, Superintendent of the Aleum for the Ingane at Middletown, NX 1 had treated over 1,000 cases of insanity. He had closely observed the %reison,er and listened | to all the testimony, and lieved that he was not insane on the 2d of July. : He did not believe it to be true that Guiteau acted under -an insane delusion when he | killed the President. If by inspiration | in his case wus meant a * haPpy thought” to | commit the act then he was inspired; in any other sense he was not. Dr. Henry P. Stearns, Superintendent of the Hartford Retreat for the Insane, testified thdt he had made four examinations of the prisoner in the jaileand detailed at great length the result of sweh examinations. He had reached the conclusion that. the prisoner is, and was on the 2d of July, sane.. Pending the cross-examination the ‘Court adjourned. ; :

THE JEANNETTE. A Telegram from James Gordon Bennett. : . WASHING’b().\', December 23. The State Department has the following dispatch from James Gordon Bennett with regard to the survivors of the Jeannette: : PARIs, December 23, Hon. Frederick J. Frelinghuysen, Secretary of State, Washington: e I have just received the folowing telegram from my correspondent at St. Petersburg concerning the Jeannette party: : General Tgnatieff has given orders to send two new expeditions from lakoutsk in search of the shipwrecked crew, and has directed that every available means be employed to find boat No. 2. i . / On the 25th of September, as has :already been told, Melville and ten men were met by three Yakats. Yakats are good-natured nomads, very skiliful in caring for disorders and maladies taused by the cold. < The party could not have fallen into better hands. It must be remembered, however, . that from Barchoi, where they were discovered, to Takoutsk, the distance is 2,000 versts, or 1,400 miiles, with no regular means of transport. , At least twenty days were required to get there, but as those who went to the rescuestarted three days ago, the time necessary to find the party and bring them back to lakoutsk would be about two months. Nor should it be forgotten that, although the whereabouts of Melville and his party is pretty well known, that of De Long, who sent forward Nendeman and Noras out of his party of thirteen, is not known, and that for a succoring expedition to reach him will take a long time over country where there are no roads. ;

* The distance from lakoutsk to Irkoutsk is 2,818 versts, or 1,900 miles, with a hampered postal which will require at least fifteen days to transport twenty-four persons. The Governor of lakoutsk, General Tschemaieff (not General Tchernaiff of Servia), will receive the instructions of the Government and orders for fresh expeditions in eight days, by coirier extraordinaire, traveling 250 miles a day. There will be.no further news, then, from the Jeannette" party themselves in less than three months, as the telegraph wire does not extend beyond Irkoutsk. From Irkoutsk to St. Petersburg will take them probably a month,traveling as rapidly as possible, although they will probably be at St. Petersburg by April,and in New York by May. Thisis al] the information I have received to date. In case the Government should wish to communicate directly with the Jeannette, I beg to say that General Anoutchine, Governor of Eastern Siberia, is now in St. Petersburg, but that his representative during his absence is General Pedashenski, with whom you can correspond direct. In case any further news is received, I shall at once inform you. . : ~ JAMES GORDON BENXNETT. The following dispatch has been sent from the State Departmernt: L ’ i ~ DEPARTMENT OF STATE, } ¢ WASHINGTON, D. €., December 23. To Hoffman, St. Petersburg: = © Convey the thanks of the President to the Imperial Government for its liberal and gener-ous-action in advancing the neccessary funds to render assistance to the members of the dJeannette expedition, and inform Mr. Degeirs that you are authorized to draw on me to reimburse that Government, if it will kindly inform you of the amount. ‘ FRELINGHUYSEN.

The Fate of the Jeannette. . The Jeannette has shared the fate of the Tegethoff. That vessel disappeared off the coast of Nova Zembla, in 1872, and was never again seen, but two ycars afterward Payer and Weyprecht and their companions returned without their ship, having broken away from Arctie imprisonment and effected their escape in their boats after an agonizing struggle. In like manner ‘the Jeannette has been crushed in the ice, and her gallant Commuiander comes bick witheut his ship two yeafs‘after it was last sighted nporth of Behring Strait. The scene of the disaster wis I.titude’7? degrees, longitude 157 degrees east, and the time June 23. The crew embarked in three ‘boats, one of which reached the mouth of the Lena on September 29, and another subsequently, while the -third has not reaclied land. The survivors were in their boats from seventy to ninety days, and their condition on reaching land is described as pitiable. Their sufferings must have been even more heartrending than those of the Polaris castaways, whom De Long himself rescued off the coast of Labrador; for, although they, too, left their ship in latitude 77 degrees and had been 196 days on the floating fice when they were picked up by the Tigress, theyhad started with more than a boat’s load of provisions. The escape of two-thirds of the Jeannette’s crew is a' deliverance almost miraculous: The sufferings of these brave

stelors will excite a thrill of sympathy wherever this last story of Arctic adventure is told. The English-speaking world, recognizing their Anglo-Saxon grit, will rejoice with one consent over the safety of those who have been rescued, and will lament the possible fate of “the missing boat’s crew. : ¢ Hus De Long the same solace which Payer and ‘Weyprecht enjoyed, when they reappeared iifter their two .years’ voyage? They had discovered Franz Josef Land. It wasan aceident, to be sure, for their vessel had been { caught in the ice and they had been drifting in utter helplessness for months when their .eyes first caught a glimpse of that mysterious shore; still, it was a discovery which richly compensated them for all their sufferings and trials. Has. De Long done anything more than to return half-w y on the track of Nordenslkjold, the intrepid Commander of the Vega? Unable to break through the ice on the Behring Strait meridian, has he turned to the left through Long Strait, and, spending two winters on the Siberian coast, only edged his way as far west as the Siberian Islands? Or has he #lso made discoveries in higher latitudes, so that he can do something besides compare notes with Nordenskjold? The details of his cruise will be awaited with the keenest interest. The latitude where disaster overtook his trim little _vegscl indicates that he had a higher ambition thah to repeat the Swede’s exploit. It is a higher latitude than that of the northernmost cape which the Vega rounded; and is on a level with Prince Patrick Land and the southern edge of Spitzbergen. Whether it was the highest latitude which he had reached, or whether he had made discoveries of real importance before his ship was abandoned, we shall know when the log is furnished in detail. It will be melancholy, indeed, if- this. gallant eommander and his plucky companions have struggled and suffered as they must have done without having added materially to the sum of human knowledge or enlarged tli¢ horizon of the polar basin. 1o In the first flvsl, of this sudden news from the Jeanuetre, scicnee and geography count for little. It is <he human ‘element . which touches the hearts of people of generous instinets. There is joy over the deliverance of the bulk of the crew; there is sympathy for the brave Commander’s wife, who has beeun waiting so anxicusly for twenty-cight loug months for tidings of his safety; there is sorrow that she ship’s company has been davided and that so many brave men may have perished. But the scientific aspects cannot be entirely overlooked. The failure of this expedi~ tion may tend to simplify the future course of Arctic’ exploration. The theory gencrally adopted in recent years has been that in order to reach a high latitude within ‘the Arctic Circle the vessel must follow a coast line trending northward. When De Long left Rau Franeisco in 1879 there were three codsts which seemed to offer peculiar advantages for ‘Arvctic exploration. One was tlie Greenland sfilmre,g' which Kane, Hayes, Hall and Nares had followed; another was the recently discoyered Franz Josef Lind, which has since been partially explored by Leigh Smith: and the third was Wrangell Land, which was sup~ posed to be a large island and possibly one of a chain eof islands stretching toward the Pole. De Long hoped to succeed in wintering on! Wrangell Land and in following what wasfancied might be a polar archipelago far to the north. Wrangell Land is now known to be a small island with an impenetrable sea to ks . north, and Leigh Smith’s disuppearance in the Kara Sea discourages attempts to make Franz Josef Land a base of operations. If the phantom quest for the Pole is ever to be resumed, the old route through Smith’s Sound must be considered the safest highway. The little col- | ony of Americans and Eskimos which was. landed in Lady Franklin Bay last summer has better opportunitiss for scientific rescarch and extended explorationsin the highest latitudes than any ship’s crew exposed to the terrible risks of the Siberian waters and the.Barentz Bea can possioly have.~N.

The **jeannette” Heard From.

, . " LONDON, Dec¢ember 21. The following telegrain was received at the London office of the Herald at twenty minutes past two this. merning, dated Irkoutsk, Russiny December @1 - 0 1 e 0 The Jeannette was crushed by ice in latitude 77:15 degrees north, longitude. 157 degrees east. The boats and sleds made good their retreat to fifty miles northwest of_the Lena River, where the three boq‘,ts_Were,‘s%arq;ted in a gule. The whaleboat, in charge of Chief‘Engineer Melville, entered: the east mouth of the Lena River September 17. It was stopped by ice in the river. We found a native village, and, as soon as the river closed, I put myself in communication with the’command at Baloemga. 'On October 20 I heard that the first cutter containing Lieutenant De Long, Dr. Ambler and twelve others, had landed at the north mouth of the Lena. The commandant: at Baloemga ®ent instant relief to the ~whaleboat party, who are all well. Nindeman and- Noras arrived at Baloemga October 29, for relief for the first cutter, all of whom are in- sad condition, and in danger of starvation, and all badly frozen. The commundant at Baloemga sent scouts to look for them, and will urge a yigorous search until they are found. The second. cutter has not yet been lieard from.
