New Regvration oF THE U.S. TREASURER—It has been customary for the U.S. Treasurer upon receipt of bonds properly assigned tohim in ex- change for other bonds on file with him as security. for national bank circulation, to surrender the bonds on ‘ile, ‘pending the transfer of the new bonds on the booxs of the department, during which transfer the bonds are not in his possession, Being recently advised that if such _bouds are lost or misiaid in the department he is personally re- sponsible, the Treasurer has Just issued a circular, ordering “that no bonds epee a8 security for circulation or public deposits, shall hereafter be surrendered or allowed to pass from the custody Of this office, except upon the surrender of circu- lating notes, deposit of lawful money, deposit of other bonds in the name of the Treastrer U. 8. in trust, or in the case of a depositary bank, upon the order of the Secretary of the Treasury.” Ir Is Ciarep for the Post Office department, and with apparent justice, that its business is conducted with closersecrutiny and more exactness: than that of any public aepartment, and even that the average run of private business 13 ex- celled. For instance, for the three fiscal years ending on the doth of last June, the Post Oftice de- arumnent lost only $1,200 through the negligence, honesty or malfeasance of postmasters. In that period there were numerous defaulting postmast- ers, but their defaleations were collected from their bondsmen, excepting $1,300. ‘The bonds of postmasters are always inquired into very closely, and none but good bonds accepted. “THE Best GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD.”—A letter has just been received by a gentleman of this city from ex-President Hayes, at Fremont, Ohio, under date of November acknowledging Tecelpt of some public documents relating to the, District government, in which he takes occasion to sty that “the board of Commissioners, a8 at present oncanized, has been upon the wile, T hink, ‘the best clty government in the world. eons a large statement, but I am contident c! its MR.

PROGRESS OF THE PREPARATIONS. WHAT THE COUNSEL SAY TO-DAY. eS SSS THE QUESTION OF JURYMER, iste SS ‘The trial of Charles JultusGuiteau will begin in the Criminal Court, Judge Cox, next Monday morning. It is conceded on both aides that it will be protracted. Though Guiteau is charged with assassinating a President, the law docs not distin- guish his crime, in any way, from the murder of the humblest citizen, and the proceedings in court will follow the usual formela of murder trials. The government will be represented by District Attorney Corkhill, Mr. Walter Davidge, of this city, and Judge Porter, of New York, who have been dest; ‘as his special assistants. ‘The defence will be conducted by Mr. George Scoville, of Chicago,brother-in-law of the assassin,and-Mr. Leigh Robinson, of this city, who has been desig- nated by Judge Cox to act with Mr. Scoville. Mr. Scoville has been fn this city for six weeks, pre- Paring is defence, having assisted since tober 22d by Mr. Robinson. ‘The first days of the trial will be used in getting a jury. Mr. Scoville, some time ago, expressed grave doubts whether & Jury could be obtained that would consider the e without prejudice. He states now, however, that he wi satisfled without’ pressing the questions as to Whether the juror had formed and expressed an __ opinion as to the case. District Attorney CorkhiN says he anticipates little trouble in getting a jury. Be- fore the week {fs half over, therefore, the case may be formally opened before ajury. While the gov- ernment has summoned over a hundred witnesses it 1s doubtful whether they will all be examined. ‘The mere fact of the shooting can be proved, 1t 1s thought, by a very few witnesses, and the defense Will hot, tts presumed from Mr.’ Scoville, utter. ances attempt to combat this testimony. ‘The line of defence mapped out by Mr. Scoville, consists in sustaining the plea of insanity, so the witnesses Summoned for the defence, are persons who have known Guiteau for a long time, and experts in the matter of insanity. In rebuttal the government will produce other expert witnesses. ‘The examt- nation of these witnesses Will take up the greater part of the time that will be consumed in the (al ETC. THE PROSECUTING OFFICERS IN CONSULTATION. Judge J. K. Porter, of Albany, New York, of counsel for the government in the case of Guiteau, arrived this morning, and was in consultation With District Attorney Corkhill and Mr. W. D. Davidge most of the day. THE OFFICIAL RECORD OF GUITEAU'S CASE. The official record of Guiteau’s case up to date in the Criminal Court docket Is as follows: 14,056 '—Charles J.

A LONG TRIAL IN PROSPECT—LAWYER SCOVILLE NOT DISPOSED TO FIGHT OVER JURYMEN. “I do not think it wii take much time to geta jury,” sald Mr. Scoville, Guiteau’s counsel, toa Star reporter. “We cannot expect to get jurors who have not formed and expressed an opinion on this case, and, so far as I am concerned will not try to get such jurors. It ought not to take more than two days’ to get a jury.” “How long do you think the trial will take?” “At least a month, and probably nearer three months’ than a month. ‘There are ‘about 100 wit- nesses on the list made out by the district at- torney, and we have summoned about 75. You can see that It will take some time to get through with them. Questions of law will arise which will have ore argued by counsel, and, will all prolong the rial? “Is there any chance of Mr. Trude coming to nap rou?” ‘There may be some chance yet. You see the first part of next week will be taken up in getting a jury, and, meanwhile he may decide to come. By the way, talking of jurors, I have received let- ters from different parts of the coantey, trom per- sons offering to serve on the jury, e writers think because this 1s a United States court that they can serve. I received two letters to-day from people in this city, saying that they will serve im- Pi lly, and that they will give references. I re- ceived a postal card to-day from a friend of mine in Chicago, saying that he had been around to get some men to chip in to help the defence, and clos- ing by saying that while he was willing to help the defence he hoped my client would be hung. ‘That’s the kind of a man TI would like to have on the jury. He 1s not afraid to do what he thinks is Tight, and would act im} ro ave you heard recently from Train?” “Yes. received three letters last night. He Says in one of them ‘Zion is with Guiteau’ They lose a great deal by being repeated. ‘They must be Seen, With all their exclamation marks.” “Has the government the right to send experts to the jail to examine Guiteau?’ “They cannot examine him unless Guiteau chooses to submit himself to them. We have noth- ing to conceal, however. We want it known whether he is sane or insane. Of course these casual examinations may not amount to anything. Sometimes an insane person appears perfectly sane, T Was reading yesterday an annual report written by Dr. Gray, superintendent of the New York state insane asylum, and who, by the way, has been summoned as an expert in this case by the government. He mentions in this report the fact that thousands of persons visit the institution during a year, and that nearly all are surprised to find people apparently perfectly sane confined in e asylum.” “Have you ever had any opinion from experts as to Guiteau’s insanity?” me “Yes, I have heard from two or three of them, who express the belief that he is irresponsible. 1 have prepared, in a condensed form, a hypotheti- cal case covering Guiteau’s case, to be submitted toexperts.

These expert witnesses of course will not hear that tes- timony, and I have made out a statement which they cab have in advance so as to study the case.” THE PROGRAM OF THE DEFENCE.

Mrs. Scoville is five years older than Guiteau. Their mother having died when he was 7 years old, she assumed maternal care of him.

GUITEAU’S BROTHER, Nothing had been heard at noon to-day from John ‘Wilson Guiteau, the brother of the assassin, from Boston. Mr. Scoville said toa Stax reporter that his brother-in-law was in Wew York, he under- stood, last evening, and had some business which would detain him there a short time. He expected that he would arrive in Washington some time day, and that when he came he would at the Tremont house. John W.

Dr. Magee, of this city, is one of the witnesses summoned in the case of Guiteau. In conversation to-day he said: ‘I do not know what my testimony will amount to. It certainiy is a surprise to me that I have been subpernaed. “I can only say that when I knew Gulteau, ten years ago—and the acquaintance only extended during three weeks, in which I saw him daily—I never saw anything about him that was not pertectiy consistent with sanity. As a conversationalist he Was much beyond mediocrity. He may, however, have become insane since that time; that Is for others to determine. When I knew Guiteau he Was certainly sane.’” District Government Affairs.
