C., Nov. 1,—The second day of the Gultenu trial las passed without notable Incident, and the Jury Incks but three of being enmpleted, The prisouer did nut show so much excitement totlay, but imunifested great interest in the work of hu paneling! the jury, ‘he full ist of seventy- five talesinen was exhausted, and all but four were discharged for one reason or ane other, Some were dismissed by the Judea ag disqualitied; two or three hat served on furlés within the time preseribed by Inw; 0 iitinber lied ductors’ certiientes of phiysteal atgability; and the greater part clued to have such unalterable opinions as to the pris- ouers gut ns to be entirely beyond the reach of argument. About eight of the ten men were found who seemed at tirst Ikely to be selected, but * ONLY FOUR ran the gauntlet and were added to the flve selecteil yesterday, Ono of these four was a negru—at fplitimp, fat-faced, Joviul darky— who tide considerable sport during his exanination, and was finally found avcept- able to Fudge dnd counsel ou both sides. » Up to this thine the defense had untfdrmly ob- jeeted to hexrocs, and, where It was neces- sitry, lind porouptorily chatlenged thet, so that It was supposed Mat they had adapted a puliey te that effect, and people were sure rrised to find that they lind taken the negro plasterer, Wormley. It was noticerbte that those (alesmen who ure engaged ina pros perous business had unalterable opinions as to Gultenu’s guilt, while those to whom $3 per day compensition during a Jong trial was aniatter to be considered found thelr minis more philusophtent and open to evt- dened. ‘The Hst of talesmen having been exhausted, the Judge adjuutned the court until tainorrow and ordered the drawing of° seventy-lve additonal names, from whieh it fs supposed that the three additional persons necussnry to inake the Jury enn be found, TH COURT-OUKR TODAY was rather davold of sensational Incidents, ‘The prisoner made no demonstration, except us he somethnes talked excitedly with his counsel and brother. Some of these conver- sutions, as they were overheird by those who sat neur lilin, spoke even more power- fully of a disordered mind than some of tils format public sayings, But those whispkred utterances may lave been intended for effect as well, inasmuch as Guitean knew that those who sat néross the tablo from tilin were inetibers of the press, and the whisperings mlght almost be deemed to have been Intentionally loud enough for them to hear, Four instance, he satd today, when criticising one of the taleamen, leautng over to his brother and speaking in excited and very enrnest tones: “'I'his 1s politics, nothing but politics, and, if it should be necessary, { ain gulug to,have avery juryiman Democrat. ‘This ts polities from top to hottem, utd my friends haye to see me throtizt.” * APUEM GUITEAU LEFT THE COURT-ROOS and while he was belug taken to tha van, ha hata better opportunity of observing tha indignation of the populace than he ever hind before. He was Iiissed and Jeered at Joudly from the crowd of hundreds of jeo- ple about the prison wagon, and in the crowd wasn tall, lank, seedy-looking Individual, who was heard to say: *Lowish J could get wplstol.”. ‘Fhe person was Berthrong, the Ohio “ crank,” who yesterday watched the prison-van, and who, on the day of Guiteau’s wraignment, attempted to shoot lim Gulteau does not carry the bravato of the court-room with himto the crowd, for he shrunk as he heard the hisses, and plunty endeavored to conceal himself behind the stalwart policemen who had Win In charge. Jt}4 now oxpected that thy Government can begin to put in its evidence, at least by Thursday morning, THE FIVE MEMBERS already chosen on the jury bear gond reputa- tion for capacity and fairness, Ono of their. associates on the petit jury says he thinks they ure determined to bring in a conscfen- tlous verdict on the evidence, though all, of course, have nt presont an opinion as to the guilt of the prisoner, As a rule the tales luon wore unwilling to serve, and were glad to ba pronounced disquniified. ‘Three, at ledst, were muxious, however, to sit, Ast happened, they wore rejected, ‘The sttpor- vision of the jury will be very strict, They gre in the custody of alllify, and forbidden to talk on the trial or to read the nowspa- pers, They aro. boarded at the Nattonal Hotel, and are virtually under arrest, as thoy ure not perinitted ty go abroad, or even see their trlenda or transact business, except in the presence of the ofticers of the court, GETTING TNH FOUR, THE DETAILS. Wasinnaton, D.C, Nov, 15~The prea sure to obtain adwission to the court-room this moruing was notably greater than yeq- terday. After the ushers had exercised the right of selection aud admitted two or three score uf welluircased, ‘respectable-Woking people (Including o Pennsylvania meinber of Cunuress, accompanted ‘by ladles), ‘the doore were thrown open, and there was a sudden mud iupetious futtux of representatives of the rougher eluments of society, ‘The five jurors sworn yesterday wore early tu attend- ance, Court was formally opened a few the next (named Batley), who declured his . dice wes wounded March Ju, 1buS, the ball pore minutes after 10 o'ctoek, atid Intinadintely afterward counsel in the case and the brother ond sister uf tha prisoner entered, After the lapse of a few minutes OUIPRAU WAS HURMIED INTO TIT COURT tons, in custody of lintf u dozen policemen and DeputyzMarshals, ‘The handentfs were re- moved, and he sliook hands with hls sister and brother, and took the seat reserved for him between them and his counsel, Scoville then submitted att afidavit and made an ap: plication for an order for an additional num- ber of witnesses, which order was made by the Conrt. ‘Then the additional panel of. sov- enty-ilve stnmnoned Inst evening was called, most of tho persons responding when called, Gitean manifested leas nervous excitability than yesterday, althottizgh tn iis whispered convorsuttuns with Is brother he was quite demonstrative atid earnest in his manner, A colored barber named Howard was tho first Juror to be called and examined as to his fitness to serve. Ilis answers showed hin to be not disqualified from service, but the defense challenged him peremptorily, belug the fourth peremptory challenge.

As thorough an ex. amination of the wonad should be tinde, for the hurpose of ictermining tho course of tho ball and Its situntion, asthe ease required, Thore Jano possibie condition which can stand in op- position to thia precept, though there may bo Buch nt oxisting stato of tho pationt ns to cause fn oxamination to be deforred for a fow hours.

Its pracepts are of no Uncertaln tons, Certainly the President did not die froin any Inck of positive principles applice able to bis casy. If thore were no rules to nuit such 4 wountl is that of tho President THE SCIENCE OF SURGERY WOULD BE A FRAUIT, and the surgeons who, through tho past ages down to the present timo, huve become eminent in tholr calling, would hive become unniludful of that debt which Lord Bacon declares every niin owes to his profession.

Orth, Reed, and Robinson of Massnehusetts will be here ina few days. Kelfer has established headquarters at the Ebbitt House, Hiscock at thd Arlington, Dunnell ut the Natlonal, and the others have not yet opened thelr headquarters, Ger, Kelfer’s friends aro very hopeful. ‘They say Keifer hag a tinited and cordial support of the Oblo delegation, aud that, while the feht will be of wsectional nature, the Westugninst the Kast, Kelfer will get voles from Penn- sylvatila, Now Jersey, and several from New England, as well os several from tho South, KEIFEWS FRIENDS believe lig hres now more positive support than any other candidate, and that he is the real clioide of & number of members Who, for State reasons, have to projnise thelr voles to other candidates, It is the general oplifon thit some of the Western cnniitlates wlll have to drop out of the reco before the heatot the fight begins, aud, naturally, those having the smallest support are expected to bo.the ones, -It 1s belluyed by the Ohio mein- bers that Kelfer has certainly more strength than any other candidate, atid that, therefore, he wilt finglly betame the candidate of that section, . As one uf the hiimurous featitres of this fight it is'relnted that, last spring, tt bis letters te membors of the House asking thelr support, Hscock ‘claimed that the Spddiicer- ship dught, by right, to go to the ast, anu particularly Unit it . ovat Nov To GO TO OTH, beenuse that State had the President, two members of the Supreme Court, sevetal prom- Inent diplomatic positions, and other of- ficers, Now, tlne and the changes It has wrought have turned this very argit- ment against Hiseuck, say the Ohlo Rep resentatives, New York, they say,.hins the President, two inembers of the Cabinet, the Freneh mission, and other diplomatic inls- slong, the stvont Axsistatit-Postiaster-Gen- oral, anu wlll have a member of the Supreme Court, ‘This, urge the Western members, is sulticleiil hohor and) power for New York ut presint.

A supporter of HISCOCK sald tonight that he know of no divis- lou Inthe delegation, He believed It was united for Hiscock, Laeson of New Jersoy is here, and, while he ts not making au open ennvass for speakur, itis believed he has hiseye on that position, and that he ls a prominent dark horse, In some quarters It 1s thought thatthe numerous caniidates tow in the fleld wilt Kill ench other olf, and a new man will be taken up.

As tho contest now stands, Hlscoul ta the most prominent candl- date from the Enst, and Kolfer and Kasson from the West, It is rupresunted that ontit has the solld Indiana ‘delegation be- hind him, and that, Indiana proposes fo make a determined fight, elntming that sho hag not recelyed her proper reward for the inportant part she played In the Inat election, and that she Is en Utlad to the Speakership, ‘The Republicans will not have any dificulty tn organlamiz the House, Nuinerdus Demoeratle members de- claro thoy would not join Ia a movement for atuslon organizntion Jf It could succead, Jopresontative Mansting, of Altsalusipol, eutd tonight that he would not, and that he want ed the Republicans to’ taku the organizatian because the responsibillty goes with it, Io said tha Demovrata would make a much bet- tor record and better prepare for next year’s Congressional campalgn as A STRONG MAxONITY WiTkoUT RESPONSIUITe ey than as a weak majosity, hampered by an vlement of another party, unable, with the President agalust them, to accompliuh legis- latlon—that, In short, the Democrats would be responsibte for all the legisintion without power to control ond direct it, and he was not willing to put the party in any such pre- dicament, ‘There is a promise of an abun- dance of candidates forall subordinate posl- tlons of the House. ‘Tho latest addition is of Sula Dawicn, of Californis, for Sergzeant- at-Arms, He was Librarlan of the Sougte prior to the Demugratlc orgaulzation of that body, Edward M.

Next, the Baker amond- ment from the Committee of Appropriations was passed without a division, ‘This gave $070,000 only, or $1,300,000 less than was asked by Bratly, and, besides this, a proviso wus ndopted by whielton all routes where the expedition had exeveded §2,500 per anntim the pay should -bo retuced to the tarms of the orlginal dontract, tind no further expedi- trons could ‘tak place on any route for the rest of the yenr, ‘This surely was NOT DELIBERATE SANCTION, ‘Tho Dill then went to the Senate, ‘There the stun voted by the House wns fuereased by the Senate Committe on Appropriations to $1,100,000 for the deflejency of the service, and $150,000 for other items connected with it, the total belt still $750,000 less than Hrady Insisted he should hiaye, ‘The com. auittea also reported a preamble de- elaring the ucts of the department td be In disregard of law. ‘This the Senate modified, on the ground that, us the finpeachment of Brady had been Urreatened, and was possible, It was not proper for the Senate to declare In advance that his acts were illegal, While debating the bast plan of avoldlng this dilentty, Sen- ator Kirkwood offered an amendment wach virtually declared that the Senate did tot In- tend by its actlons to comlenm the Post- Ofilcs oficinis, ‘Nits was defeated by 38 in the afllrmntive to Ht In the negative, An wmendinent was then fROPOSED NY AENATOR CONKLAING, expressly declaring that the Senate's action should not be deomed to aflirm the yalidity or logality of the acts in question, or to affect any proceoding thereutidermenning elther impeachment or a criminal trial.
