Tho schemes for rp- vision are so numerous, and tho Jow-tariit people. hnve so iwiny opiniots xs to what should. be dono, that’ the prospects for tho dofent of the protéctlonists are not good. ‘Tue testimony glvcn in tho Gulteau case yesterday was vosy damaging to tho nasasin, Dr. Theodore Damon, of- Albany, swore that he had po doubt that Guiteau was sane, and added thdt hé came to that conclusion after a thorough oxamination of the prisoner. Scovilio's cross-oxamination falled to shake the testiniony of the witness, and Guiteay became cnraged at his counsel and abused Aum most outrageously, ‘Cho prisoner ovi- dently sees ‘the shadow of the gallows; and ig correspondingly alarmed. Ho ended Noranguo yesterday Ju which fe: referred to hls receiving letters from several ladles by saying that he was become popular, and was “going up,” whereupon som: porson in the court exclaimed, “Yes, to the gallows," Gulteau was greatly scared, He was tright- ened on ‘another occasion yesterday ulso, when a tall, scrawny, flerce-looklng lui viduut stood up tu'the court-room to change’ hls position.

If tho soleation of Spenker Kelfor’s com- inittees nay be ‘accepted as tha keynote of Congressional polley ut the present session, then the public cannot be too prompt in pre- paring Its protest ngainst the threat of extor- tlon on the one hand and extravagance on the other. Tn 'Trmons has already commented in filting terms pon tho composition of tho packed Ways and Menus Committee, made up almost exclusively of ultra high-tarifites, on both the Democratic mud Ropublican ends, ‘The Chairmanship of this committes and chief pince thereon awarded to the oppo- altion indiente the leadership of tho majority and minority in the Ilouse, Kelley and Ran- dall Il thesn positions by Keifer’s appoint- ment; both are Pennsylvanians, both ex- tromists on tho tari question, and both ayowedly in favor of abolishing the Internal- reyento system (tho whisky and ‘tobacco taxes) asa mesus for increasing the tariff exactions, It will bo tho steadfast alm of this committee, virtually. controtled by Pebnsylyaninns, who will be alded and abetted by most of thelr associntes, to pile up taxation in tho shape of customs duties with a view single to the selfish and sectional Interests of tho pro- tected classes, According to all accounts, the Appropriations ‘Committee las been made up with regard to the prompt oxpendi- ture of all the money which can be obtained ‘from taxation. It 1s understood that: the members of this committee havo been se- jected in confidence in their “ SIberality *— that Is, thelr liberality with other people's money. Itis announced that there will be no more “penny-pinching” and “cheese paring,” ‘This means ‘that the ‘Treasury doors are to'be thrown wide opon. | ‘The sub- sidy beggars will find willing ears, Tho heads of bureaus will not plead In vain for additional tax-eators and Increased pay. The Appropriations Committee will have con” alderablo‘ald in tho wasting of public moneys from the Committees on Expenditures In tho various departments, and the monoy wilt flow freely if they can havo thelr way. But the efticiency of the Ways and- Means Conunittes for extortion and of the Appro- priations Conuuittes for extravagance is apt to be crippled by the close division of the two partles in the House and the riyairy Itkely to result In order to gain credlt for economy. ‘There aremen on both sites of the House who will dispute extravagance nt every step, as there -nre those who will ex- pose at every opportunity the designs of the Wltra protectionists,’ Mr, Cannon, of this State, hus a placo on the Appropriations Comunttes, and we do not belluve he will nasent tacitly to every proposition that’ may be made for spending or glving away money, ‘Thore js a Democratic momber of the pres- ent Congress who will be a thorn in the side of the faction favorable toWustefulness, Wo refer to W.S, Holman, of Indtuna, whose “Tapject” in former Congresses of which hho was a member -became ng notorious as ‘Mr. Evarts’ uso of the same words in tho Beecher trial, Whatever may be the practical result, tha make-up of tho committees Indlentes that Sperker Kelfor has dona all In his power to alve the protectionists and spendthrifts of Congress an advantage ovor thoso who favor ‘reduction of the customs taxes and opposo the donation of public monoys. beyond the negessary ‘and proper exponditures' for the support of tho Government.

We belleve it will bo found on oxamination that the ex- erclsa of judieiqt clemency, or tho pardun- ing power—for that is what suspension of sentenca .amourts to—has been seldom, if ever, practiced In Ilinols outside of Cook County, and in this county only of late years. Judge Tuley has alwoys refused to exercise It, on the ground that he could find no gue thority for it In the Constitutlon, the Inw, or the precedents, , Suspension of scntence was a comnion- Jaw power of the Judges, and there was some excuse for it when the Judges fixed the penalty after conviction, But the reason for it was removed by tho provision,of the Allinols law that the fury should tix the pen- alty under the Inw, ‘This statrite operated asa repeal of alltho common-luw practice Telating to the sontonce. Our Supreme Court has even hell that the Judge had not the power to change or mitigate the sontence rotthe jury, much less to suspend, or (what {s tho samo thing, undora recent Michigan ruling referred to approvingly by Judge Me- Allister) abrogate it. ‘The language of tho Supreme Court: of Iilnols in Cole va, ‘The People, 84 IL, 2t6, was? ‘Tho Court bus no rightful authority to miti- gate the measure of puntshmont found by the jury in wu criminal cau and sentence the do- fondant to B Jess turm thun that fixed by the jury.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM SLAVERY IN ILLINOIS. An Interesting and oxtremely important potiod iu. the history of Ulinols was that whon, during the Adininistration of Gov. Coles, the great struggle was made to break down the State constitutional exclusion and admit African slavery ax one of the iustliu- tions of this State. Edward Coles was & Virginian by birth, and 11 1800, then only 23 years of uge, was the owner of n plantation, with slaves that he had Inherfted from his father, Lo wasmade private secretary by President Madison, In 1815, aftor the close of tho war, he visited the Northwestern Territory, and happonedd to be at Kaskaskia when the convention was in session forming a constitution for tho future Stato of IMnols, and remalned thare several weeks. ‘That constitution made Ilnoisa free State. In 1819ho emancipated all his slaves and with all his people moved from Virginia to a farm previously. pufchased by hin near Edwardsville, St. Clair County, in this State. Uo was appointed Register of tho Land-Oilles soon after by Mr, Monroe. In 1823 there was an election for Governor, the secont clection held in the State. ChiefJus- tice Phillps, of the Stato Court, Mr. Coles, Gen. Moore, and Judge Brown were the can> didates. . Philips and Brown were pro-slave- ry, and Coles was anti-slavery, ‘Tho vote re- sulted: Coles, 2,810; Pliflips, 2,760; Brown, 3,543; and Moore, 522%, The anti-slavery can- didate polied less than one-thilrd of the whole vote, and was elected only through the dl- vision of the other party, That party, how- ever, elected all its otker candidates, Includ- ing 0 majority of buth branches of the Legis- Jature. The great majority of tho then In- hinbltants of the State had come hithor from the Southern States, and were friendly to slavery, Tho majority of them had becn ac customed to slays labor, and thought it woul be profitable in this State, but the great and special demand was for “serv- ahts,’ of whom there were none, and as- free negroes wore prohibited from cntering the .Statd, the convenlenee of having alaves for’ Adinestle Inbor was strongly. ‘ad¥oéated, Under these circumstances, the protest made by Gov. Coles in his first meg- sage agalist the Introduction of slavery was inet by a report from a committee of the Leg islature nsserting that Linols, having bee come a State, had the right to alter her own Constitution and. make any disposition of negro slayes that the people might think prop- er; and proposed a resulution submitting to a vote of the peoplo'n call for a convention to rovise the Constitution of the State, ‘This resolution required am afiirmatiyo vote of' two-thirds of the membors of each Mouse of the Leglalature, and tho resolution falled by one vote In the Iouse, ‘That House, there- fore, proceeded quictly, and deolared that ono of tho members who had been seated In the House more than two months unques- tloned had-not been elected, aud that anoth- er person had been. This change of mum- bers gave tho convention party the requisit two-thirds majority, and tho resolution was growth, untiring Industry, aud almost une Mimlted wealth, they ean Jook back with adiniration to the inflexible courage and stout wisdoni of tho sinall party of intelli: gout people who united In 2) with Gov.
