Nov. t.—Judge Cox, who presides at tho Gulteau trial, Is reported to be very inuch outraged at the mannor In which tho agsasin conditots himself, but has not as yet dis- covered any way by which his ingolence and blasphemy cau be prevented, except to remove him from the courtékoom, Judge Cox, it is thought, ling conferred with biapseociate Judges ‘on that point, and it fa believed that thoy have recommunded that he should not resort to that extremity, or do anytning that will furnish Gul- teau with a legal technicality tg appeal to. THAT “count IN IfANc” of whick he tatks so much, If threats will not compel the audacious assasinjto keep ellence, tho Judge can only put.a gogjin his mouth, or delay tho triel and punish bimjfor contempt of court. To resort to this meagure would, St 1a feured, create sympathy for Gpiteau, und per- hapa holp him before the jury} To punleh him for contempt would onty be tg delay tho trial, as Guiteau could not be confined any more than he ndw now Is, Buthe spight be put on Dread and wuter.

Alt the candidates for Speaker RANKED ONLY AS SECOND*RATE, in the last Congress, It is truco that Kaason, of Jowa, is. an acquisition; und the very fact of his prominence in tho contest is an wnerring indi+ cation of the great want in legisiative talent— for be Is 0 new, or rather a new-old Represeuta- tive, Frye, who tnight have been Spunker, bas gone; and Conger, who mizhtn’t, has also gone, Who will supply Gartield’s place? ‘These are not mere speculations of mine, but can better be termod reflections of eminent pupile men now aud Jutely In this city, who Inuk with apprehon- slow to # poiltical tegislative outeome upon the lita basis of burdiy a majority vote.

And yet stich bas been his pursuit of a pro- tective tarif that he actually declines the Hpwaker ship butore it Is offered—content with the eraller pince of Chalrman of the Ways and Means, where he can manage the destinies of this country in the interests of the jron-munue fncturora ‘of “inee natoey State.” Kelley docsu’t know auything but Protection; aud therefore is not availubie at a time woen the Government is absolutely hoarding mnouey. KASSON’S POLITICAL AND LEGISLATIVE EX- PERIENCE has been the most varied and most distin: guished of wny in the contest.
