Guiteat has exploded tho theory of his brother-in-law, Mr, “Scoville, that he ts and hing long been on: the verge of tdlocy. ‘Tho assasin hina, throughout the trial, shown an acuteness of Intellect far above tho average of men; and his cross-examination espoelaily hag been distinguished by salltes of rarg wit, try humor, and bithng satire, which show conclusively that the common estimate of Guiteau's Intellectual status by those who have known lim throughout his career was far too low. Qultent’s long and not wholly unsnecessfut contest of wits with tho most aklllful cross-examining lawyer in the coun- try shows that his egotism is not entirely without foundation. Ite’ hns ‘shown that he ia a remarkably bright man, “and he has shown also that he is aman of tremendous nerve, Death on the gallows (to say nothing of tho probability of cing shot al any mo- ment) stares hin constantly in the face. Ho knows that his counsel can do nothing for hhn—that the salvation of his life depends solely upon his own eort—and yet he never Breaks down, but fights desperately every moment. : : {tis plalit that Guitean did not fall of strc- cess In Ife and become ‘a mere strolling vagabond for want of futellectunt force. ‘That he was capable intellectually,of filling afar higher position than he ever occupied fs no longer doubtful. What, thon, eaused his downfall? His ungovernable temper ‘and his utter want of moral principle, Gul- teu has thd temper of a devil, and this temper will not permit lim to dissimutate, will not permit him to hide the fact that he Is without: tho semblance even of 1 con- sclence, Agalust such a man all mankina are always Jeagued; the zoo shrink from hin as from a leper, because his very sight offends, and the cunning bad avoid hinv be- cause he is too Il-tempered to conceal his villainy, i . dudge Porter isan astute lawyer, a life- tlme student of character, For two weeks he sat silently In court watching Gulteau, studying him as a naturallst studies the leaves of n plant, inthis careful study hos found out Guitenws besetting ‘sin—temper, passlon, rage, But he @id nat linmediatuly provoke Gultenu Into ‘a passion, He in- dulged his vanity, Jed him into the domain of witaml humor, exhibited tits Uright in- thom a pieture, merely pointing out its cellencies by means of questions, Guiteau did the rest with his sharp retorts, lis quick repartee, But suddenly, as if without xe- flection, the @reat lawyer hurled at Gufteat,- ns it were, tha words “murder”? and © kill,” and the dark bnekground of the picture was disclose as if by the glaro of an eleotric light. ‘The ylllatn winced, for- “murder,” under the Inw, is death to the assasin. .And the assasin knows the Inw, knows to what erlme the death penalty attaches, and knows* that ho tins committed the crime. . ‘These awful words—" kill? “nrurder?— startle Gulteau, and he Instantly rentizes that beneath the hitherto gloved hand of Judge Porter the claws begin ‘to appear. Judge Porter wants the witness! Ife, for if there has Been n murder’ there 1s finminent danger of a hanging! Guiteau has a theory that hd tremoved” President Garfield by “Inspifation of tho Deity,” and that there- fore the Deity, not he, 1s responsible. But Judge Porter platnty has a very different theory, Indicated by the uso of, the word “murder.” It Is this difference of opinton that Guitean cannot endure from anybody under any circumstances, Itsets’ his blood bolling, and Nie retorts flereelys “You seam to delight in the ie of the words ‘kill’ and ‘murder.’ ‘There’s no “use In your whining in that way, ‘he mere oitward fact how T removed tho President has nothing whatever to do with this case.” Judge Porter did not stnilo with satisfaction, but he knew then that ho could compel the assasin to spenk the truth -becnusa he had roused him to passlon and fury. Gulteau, thought from certain questions that Judge Porter wanted to provo by hin that his motive for killing the Prasident was lls fallpre to receive tho Parks Consulate, and of-course he dented that It was any such thing. But, bemg under tho influcnce of passion, he testified clearly ton motive, “TL would not have taken the Paris Consulate after the 1at of June,” exclaimed the nasngin, “if Lund been appointed to it and the Pres!- dentand Secretary Blalne had both beseeched ine on their knees to take-it, I had at that timo resolved to remove the President forthe good uf tho Amerienn people.” So much has beun sald of Guiteau'’s motiye for assasinat- Ing the President being revenge on account of his failure to recelve an nppoint- ment that he forgot, in the heat of passion, tint what the jury requires to know in order.to convict him of murder is not that hls motive was revenge for fall- ure to reevlve the Parla Consulship, but that jio had n well-defined motive; that hoe was of Bufliciently sana mind to entertain a motive. And In this ono sentence Guitean furnishes the evitence, aud all the evidence necessary, to establish his sanity, to define exactly the nature of hls erlme, and to secure a yerdict of gullty of the chargo of murder. When Gultenu reflected in hla cell on ‘Thuraday,night, when he went over his tes- timony, remarbering every word of It, for his memory is excellent, he reallzed that he had made a fatal mistake in swoarlng toa elear, wall-defined motlye for the act of ns- sasiuation, He realized once more that his ungovernable temper'had pinyed him false, that the devil of passion within him had fastened a halter about his neck and tled the hangman’s Inot, ‘Tur attemptot the Pennsylvania more-tat: If cranks to fore6 n resolution fayoring a do- nation to the [Iquor-denters of tho taxos on whisky and beer on the New York convon- thon resulted In a complete and mortifying fullure, Whon the report of tha committes was nade J.

Congress begins a naw term on Monday next. ‘Lhe Suunte is a permanent body, ant {3 olready organized so for. as on presidlog ofleer fs concerned, but will have to elect 1 Sucrotarg,‘or {t may continuo the present temporary Secretary. ‘Lho House will have to cluct n Speaker, Clerk, and several other officers, but when organized the two Houses of Congress wif! begin legislation with clean dockets nnd unombarrassed by any previous and nuilnished action, Our Washington correspondent furnishes us with na somewhat comprehensive outline of the matters of greater importance Hkely to oceupy the attention of Congress during ithe coming year. Among these questions aro tho following: First in Importance aro the various mens- ures to amund the Constitution {n the matter of electing President and Vice-President of the United States. Five years ago the coun- try hada painful experience of the dangers to the National peace ilnble to arise at any closely-contested Prestdontint election. These dangers become more threatening every year, ‘The States grow lurger, and so long as the Electoral vote of each State Is given as aualt so long will the dangers to result from fraud and vlolonce threatun the peace of tho Union, It ts hardly possible that another serutiny fike that of 2876 could pass without n dis- puted succession. ‘There aro a seore of measures likely to come before Congress having“for thelr pur- pose the regulation of tho civil service. and . the inodes and mauner of electing Repre- sentatives In’ Congress, and the modes of elvetion and appolntuent of alletvil oftedrs. This Congress will also have tho Impor- tant duty of fixing the number of Repre- sontatives In Congress and of apportioning represontation among tho States. ‘Chis duty is imposed by the Constitution, and ought to have been performed tnst March, Among the important measures hefstofore discussed 1a the great measure of National regulation of commerce between tho States. There are, or will bo before this Congress adjourns, 100,000 miles of rallway in opera- tion in the United States, Inctudiig several lines from the Atlantic to the Paeifte, skirt- ing the boundary of British Amerlen and of Mexico, and penetrating over: the lines into these countries: Legislation on this subject has become n National necessity, and ought’ to ba had at once, "Phere will be meastires. proposed for tho admission of Dakota, New Mexico, and Utalt fis new States. Of these Dakota alone has any claim to admission. wot 8 Tho tarl® of course will oceupy much at- tention, ag will-also the kindred measure to abolish the taxes on whisky and tobacco, Ono of the greit measures looking to‘enor- mots‘expendittres Is‘ that concerning pens sions, ‘Chore Id: n, $20,000,000 -leficlency In the pension appropriation for the present year, The Commlsstoner of Pensions sug- gests a bulk appropriation of $20,000,000 to ineet the requirements of tho Atrears-of-Pen- sions law, and there are other schemes for furthor unlimited extensions of the bounty Jaw to new classes of applicants. Not the least interesting of tho bills before Congress will bo the attempt to enforce the retiremont of army officers at tha age of 62 years, Over this-bill there will be a contest and a struggle that will partake largely of a social character: The veterans will never willingly surrender to the boys the honors and rank they have go nobly wou. ” In various specehes in the Irish Conven- ton It’ wag assorted that itho Irish In the United States mumbored ten milion? and the statement went unchallenged, People born, brought up, and educated in this country cannot bo called frish, or English, or Germans, but.Americans, “Native-borns aro Americans as contradistingushed from per- sons of forelgn birth; and native-borns asa rulo know comparatively dittly about the s0- elal or politicat condition of European,; countries and take but small interest in thelr affairs, Thoy may have inherited from thelr parents sentimental notions concerning some foreign land. Native children of Germmn parents will feol but a vague intérest in ‘Toutonie affalrs, so of American-born chil- dren of Franch, Seqndinavinn, Swiss, ‘trish, Scotch, or Engllsh parentage—becanse this is the country of tholr birth, patriotism, and alfection.

" According to the census of 1870 (wo have not: that of 1880) there wore In this coun: try 1,855,837 persons of Irish birth, Probably a half-million of these ene to Amorica bo- fore they were 10 yenrs of age, and who recollect Mttlo and caro less avout Irish troubles than the convention supposes.

For Instance, the ftrongest point ‘Guiteau has made In his own behalf fs his perstatent assortlon that he was Inspired to acl] Gare fold, anit that the “ removal” of tho Prosi- dent was the “act-of God.’ Judge Porter Ulrectad Guiteadd:Attoiition to one of the latter's tetters, In which! It was, malutained that Garfeld’sytdkitinyoh pnd eloctioti, og woll ag his removal," were acts of God, and ellolted a now‘afirmation. of that theory from ‘the prisaier,” Judge Porter thus ob- taluad from Gniten}{ a clearer dpa of whut he belleves to be, Inspiration” and tho “act of God” than had been furnished be- fore, Itsoems that Guiteau ls disposed to regard every occurrences as “on act of God,” from the fulllug of 4 sparrow ni have nothing to sell. to tho assnainntion of o Tho Chicago Convention was cortain- ly responsible for tho nomination of Gartteld, and tho American people wero res spousiblo for {ily luction, notwithstanding Quitenu bolloves both event® wors “ucla of God.” By. a parity of rgusoning the “act of Goi,” as understood by Gulteau, «oes not” rellavo the nssasin’ of tho responsibility of the Into Prosidont’s' “removal? Ln other words, Gultean was ted to betray tho fact— {nadvortontly and without @#éighing the con- sequeneos—that his theory oF thspiration and the “net of God ts not an hallucination that Ied him to kill the’ President, but a theory of his life.
