Postmasters’ Comsisstons.—Thirty-seven of the thirty-eight commissions of postmasters who were confirmed by the late session of the Senate and sent to the President yesterday were signed, The only one withheld was that of Carothers to be postmaster uf McKeesport, Pa.

A conference of those having charge of the prose- cutiou of the star route cases was h eld yesterday. The conclusions reached were: That while !t would have saved the governmenta large amount of time and expense If ithad been allowed to proceed by Information, apart from these considerations the decision of Judge Cox was of little consequence, far as the final determination of the star route ses Is concerned. That the decision has been in long run an advantage to the prosecution in e respects: (1) That it has settled the matter that in this District, whatever might have been done e here, it is necessary to pursue all par- Urs accused of any of the higher crimes against the United States by preliminary examination and through the grand jury; that had this not been done the Inquiry would have been raised by com- plainers, “Why did not the attorneys of the gov- ernment proceed by information asa less expen sive, more direct and immedi:te method of dispos- Ing of thecases?” That question 1s now answered by the decision of the court. @) It was Important to understand, a8 far as possible, the exact post- tions which Would be used by the defense, or, to use a military expression, to uncover their gins before entering upon the ‘final contest. This has been successfully done, so that the attorneys for the government now Understand the line of de- fense which will be adopted. It only remain: therefore, to proceed in the usual method, an with the’ advantages gained in the preliminary contest. Col. Biss left this morning for New York, and will returp Thursday for the purpose of remaining here some weeks, to assist Col Cook to present the cases. THE GRAND JURY. It is understcod that the grand jury have nearly completed the jail and other cases,and thus they are poet totake up some of the star route s. It Is likely that in the latter pert of this ky OF early next week, some cases will be presented. Columbia Association of Baptist Churches. ELECTION OF OFFICERS TO-DAY. ‘The fourth annual meeting of the Columbia Assocation of Baptists churches assembled in the Calvary Baptist church, corner 8th and H streets, to-day, and was called to order by Brother J. W: Parker moderator of the last annual meeting. After devotional exercises- the letters of the several churches were presented and the delegates Were enrolled. ‘The associs tion then eded to the election of officers, which resulted us follows: D.

Groups of people were collected about the doors of the City Hall before 9 o'clock this morning. There seemed to be as much, if not more, curtosity to see the prisoner than there was yesterday. Not- withstanding the gravity of the case, his appear- ance and actions seemed extremely grotesque, and gave a farcical vein to the whole proceedings of yesterday. So his re-appearance to-day was watched for with the same sort of interest that thespectators of a pantomfme feel in awaiting the entry of the clown. The van bringing the prisoner arrived in front of the east wing of the Jail at 9% o'clock, There were very few persons about that part of the City Hall, almost every one having been deluded thto the {dea that the prisoner had already arrived and was safely confined in one of the strong rooms of the City Hall. So his arrival and rapid transfer to the prisoner's room up stairs created little stir. He was attended from the Jail by Messrs. Leonard and Carson and two mounted police oflicers, who rode at some distance from tie van. None of the people clamoring at the doors were admitted to the court room until a ¥ minutes before 10 o'clock, except a few oMicials and their friends, and the reporters. ‘The fle jurors selected and yesterday were among the first to arrive and took seats in the jury box, looking lonely and disconsolate. A few mntti- utes before ten o'clock the doors were opened to the public, and the confusion and nolse was [ike the opening of acireus. Deputy Mars filialns, mouuting the crier’s stand in the corner, supe tended the seating of the crowd, directing them with such cries as “Take seats, gentlemen, inove along there. There’s plenty of room over in that corne ‘The operation of seating the crowd in the “gai lery” occupied some five minutes, the deputy m shal and his assistants performing the duties of ushers very creditably. ‘The space within the bar and around the bench was kept very clear. Alter the Avi polloi were seated in densely packed rows, Deputy Marshal Williams, standing on the edge o! the platform, delivered a brief lecture. He wanted them to understand, he sald, that none of them could go out until recéss, as the court could not be interrupted by the noise and contusion made by persons passing to and {ro across the room. INCREASED ATTENDANCE OF LADIES AND OF NEWS- PAPER MEN. ‘The chatrs for the newspaper correspondents were filled at an early hour. It was noticeable in the audience there was an increased attendance of ladies, the bright colors of shawls and Gaines- borough hats enlivening the scene in every quarter, ‘There probably never was a criminal trial at which so many newspapers were repre- sented. ‘The attendance of newspaper men to-lay was larger than yesterday. Ainong those present to-day were Mr. Eddy, New York World; Mr. Elliott, Evening Post; Mr, McFarland, Boston ; Mr. Fle fork Journal of Com- Mr. Washtiigton, Loulsville Courter and Enquirer; ‘Truesdelt, ional Assoclated Press; Mr. Blekford, New ‘York Tribune; and Mr. Copeland, Brookiyn Eagle. THE COUNSEL AND OTHERS. Mr. Robinson was the only one of the counsel who appeared before the court opened. As soon as the court opened Mr. Scoville appeared, accom- panied by Mr. J. W. Guiteau and Mrs. Scoville. Mr. Davidge and Judge Porter came in. Mr. Cork- quickly. With the prosecuting off- cers were seated Mr. E. B. Sinith, of the Attorney General's office (assigned to assist Inthe prosecu- tion and who was mistaken by many yesterday tor Hon. Ei H. Root,) and Prof. McDonald, of New York, who has beeh summoned here as ah expert on the subject of insanity. Whe Proceedings To-day. Judge Cox appeared a few minutes after 10 o'clock and the court was at once called to order. A few minutes was consumed in calling the roll of Jurors and ushering into the room the talesmen Summoned by order of the court. At ten minutes past ten o'clock THE PRISONER WAS BROUGHT IN from the witness room, guarded by tue deputies. He sat as yesterday, immediately in front of the when his handcuffs were removed, was to greet his sister, Mrs. Scoville, who sat by his side. Guiteau age of newspapers in his coat_pocket. iter talking with his sister he turned to Mr. Sco- ville and held on animated discussion. Then, hi Lover some letters which he took from et, he clasped his hands, looked about the court and awaited developments. ‘THIRT’ IVE MORE WITNESSES FOR THE DEFENCE. Mr. Scoville was the first to break the silence. Rising, he said he had an epplication here for an order for an additional number of witnesses. The defence considered ft absolutely necessary to have these witnesses. ‘The order for forty was, he sald, already exhausted. 5 Mr. Corkhill_ sald he had no objection to making the orier, and the court said the onter woull be made. ‘The aMdavit set forth that the defence needs 3 additional witnesses. SELECTING THE JURY. The roll of talesmen was then called. About one- ofhalf those drawn from the box responded. Messrs. Lee, Croggon and Dowling were excused from ser- vice. The usual formalities over, the first ten tulesmen present were called and sworn to make true answer to the questions propounded. ‘The first talesman called for examination was A. J. Howard, colored, Before proceeding with the examination, Mr. Corkhill suggested that the instructions delivered to the panel yesterday should be repeated. Judge Cox, tuking a news- paper, then read the report of his remarks made 0 the panel yesterday. ‘The examination of Mr. Howard proceeded. ‘The court asked him the sual questions. He had formed an opinion, but it Was not a fixed opinion. ‘MR. SCOVILLE EXAMINING A JUROR. The juror was then turned over to Mr. Scoville, when the following colloquy ensued: Question —“What is your business?” Answer.— ‘A barber.” Q—“How long have you resided here?” A— “Since 1867.” Q.—“Of what state are you a native?” A.—“Vir- ginia.” .—, ‘How old are you?” A.—“Twenty-four. —'When did you hear of this shooting?” A.— “At the time it happened.” ‘Did you go to inquire about it?” A.—No, sir; I did not.” “How did you hear of it?” A.—“I heard some street car conductors talking of it” aye you read the newspapers about it?” sir.” ‘Q.—“Can you tell when you made up your mind about it.” ‘A.—“No, sir; I cannot.” ‘Have you ever formed any opinion about ‘I hzve formed an opinion.” Q—“What is your opinion about it? What does it relate to?” ‘The witness here hesitated. .—“When did you form an opinion about. the gulit of thedefendant?” A. fo not_ know. Q.—*Do you know how whether you have any opinion about, the guilt or Innocence of the pris- oner?” A.—*Well, I don’t know.” ‘Do you know whether your opinion 1s A.—“I can’t say.” .—“You can’t tell whether you ever thought him guilty or innocent?” _A.—*No, I can’t tell.” Q-—*Have you, believed what you have seen in the newspapers?” A.—“I don’t know whether to ‘il T'see in the newpapers or not” Q—"Do you know how much that you see in newspapers you believe?” _A.—“No; J cannot.” ‘The juror was challenged by the defense. A VERY DECIDED OPINION. Mr. John Lynch, the next juror, had formed a very decided opinion, “What is that opinion?” asked the court. “ My opinion is thathe ought to be hanged or burned,” replied the juror. “Cannot that opinion be removed by evidence?” asked the court. ig not enough evidence in the United ‘States to change it.” ‘The juror was set aside, OTHER MEN WITH AND WITHOUT OPINIONS. L.C. Bailey, colored, was next examined. He had formed a decided opinion, “I think the man iscrazy,” hesaid. He was set aside. Albert C, Stevens had a settled opinion, and was Jeremiah Cross had formed a very decided opinion that the defendant wasguilty. Set aside. ‘TRE SIXTH JUROR. Michael Shehan, grocer, had not to his knowldge formed any decided opinion. Mr. Scoville read his queries, or at least some ef them from the memorandum book which he always carries with him. Mr. Shehan was putito the test of these for- mal questions as follows: .—“Did you not form any opinion,” Mr. Sco- ville asked, “about this case when it happened?” A.—*I sald the man was out of his head.” ‘No, sit. Inever earned a dollar from the government in my life.” ‘Are you a meinber of @ Masonic society?” 0, Sit.” “Chureh member?” A.—Ye “Have you ever been sued at all in Court?” ‘No, sir.” Q.—* Have you ever been in court at all?” A.— “Yes, sir; [was fined $90 once for selling lquor.” Q.—« Did you employ any of these lawyers here?” pointing to the prosecution. A.—No, sir.” sii DO You know any of them?” A.—«No, Mr. Scoville said he would accept Mr. Shehan as ajuror. ‘The District Attorney agreed also to take him, and he was sworn as a juror. James W. Cavanaugh -had served on a jury within a year and was set aside, Joshua Green was called, He stated his opinions as follows:—4I think he ought to be hung; that’s all I think. “Do you believe that your opinion would dis- qualify you from acting impartially?” “‘T should think it would decidedly.” He was set aside. U. W. Blunt was disqualified, having formed an opinion. Hornblower was excused from the Mr. J.T. panel. TEN ADDITIONAL TALESMEN were then called up and sworn. W. C. O'Meara was first examined, and having formed a decided opinion was set aside. ‘Thomas 0. Arnold, in reply to the ustal question of the court, if he had formed an opinton, replicd “Thave.” “What is the nature of that, opinion?” “Guilty—of cours ‘The Juror was set aside, CHALLENGED BY THE GOVERNMENT. William Talbert had not formed a decided opin- fon, and was turned over to Mr. Scoville. “Are you a Yankee?” asked Mr. Scoville. “No, sir; 1am a Washingtonian.” He had read very little about the case, but heard a good deal of it. He had talked often about the case, and ex- pressed his own opinion, besides hearing ‘the opin- ion of others expressed. He had never seen the prisoner, and did not know which was the man. “Have’ you ever,” asked Mr. Scoville, “investi- gated the question of insanity?” ‘No sir, I never have.” “Have You been active in politics?” “No sir. Polities never bothered me.” “ia ve you been an office seeker?” “I never was an office seeker, and never held an office under the government, except by day's Pork.” He worked, he sald, ‘putting up cases in the Patent Office.) He was hot a Mason but an Odd Fellow; was not an infidel and believed in a hereafter. “ Have you ever Investigated the subject of cap- ital punishment?” asked Mr. Scoville. “T have not.” Mr. Scoville said he would accept the juror, but he was at once challenged by the government. J. H. Luxen was discharged upon the certificate of a physician, MORE MEN WITH DECIDED OPINIONS. Alexander Peterson (colored) had formed a decided opinion. “I think he ought to be hung,” he sald. “I think you are hardly qualified, with that conviction,” sald the court, and Peterson was set aside. T. A. Tolson had formed a very decided opinion, and was set asile. Gustav Harti had formed a “most firm and de- cided opinion,” which could not be changed, He was set aside. AN OPINION WHICH MIGHT BE CHANGED. J.T. ©. Clark was called. His opinion was not 80 decided as to render him incapable to judge the case fairly. “Medical testimony,” he said, “might change my opinion.” Mr. Clark was examined by Mr. Scoville. “As a juryman,” Mr. Clark sad, “I would consider It my duty to weigh the evidence impartially. It would take medical testimony to Teverse the views I have regarding the case.” ae judge ruled that Mr. Clark was incom- Pn te Frank E. Middleton had formed a very decided opinion and was set aside. CHALLENGED BY THE DEFENCE. J.M. Foster (colored) had not formed any “par- ticular” opinion. “Have you any conscientious scruples regarding capital punishment?” asked the court. “Not at the present time,” replied Mr. Foster. “Have you ever had any such scruples?” “Thave not.” Mr. Scoville examined this juror yery search- ingly. When asked if he had ever talked of the case, Foster replied, “I think I mentioned it sev- eral Umes as quite a Serious acetdent.” ‘The juror siid he was employed as a laborer under Architect Clark at the Capitol Mr. Scoville asxedif he did not make up his mind when he heard that the President was shot. “I aid not sir,” said the tales- man, “because I did not believe It was true.” “Did you go under that impression all day?” “ Yes, sir, until evening, when our foreman went to the’ depot, investigated 1 and sald tt was rue.” ‘The juror satd he very seldom read the news- Papers: He was challenged by thedefence. nother ten talesmen were here called and sworn, sir.” ‘THE SEVENTH JUROR SWORN. Samuel F. Hobbs, plasterer, had formed an opinion on what he had read in the papers; he did not think it would render him incompetent to weigh the evidence submitted to the jury. Mr. Hoobs was examined by Mr. Scoville. He had never had occasion to go to law. “That is some- thing,” he sald, “I never deal in at all.” After the usual examination Mr. Hobbs was asked if he read Tread THE Sax every evening,” he said. “You read THE Stak, do you? bo you belleve THE Stak to be apy more truthful than other papers?” “Well, sir, I like it better than the other papers.” - “Do you believe what you read there to be en- tirely truthful?” “No, sir: not on all oceastons.” He had not been a politictan for twenty years, and was not a member of the Masonic order; he had never considered or debated the question of capital punishment; had never seen the prisoner before; had never investigated the subject of spir- itualism. After this examination Mr. Scoville and the r. Scoville, rising, asked: “You ou are a native of ‘Maryland fee “Yes, sir.” ~ “Did you ever hear or know of crime by Wi there?” “No, sir.” UPPIME The juror was accepted and sworn. SET ASIDE. Mr. John G. Judd, of Judd & Detweller, was next called. He had a decided opinion. “He swindled the firm with which I am connected,” said Mr. Juda, “out of $50, and I havea eomplete recoljec- ‘ton of it.” “You don’t think,” said Mr. Scoville, Would hang him for that, do ie “No, sir; but I believe he 18 guilty.” Schroeder, D. A. Ferguson, John Gibson P. Cohen had formed and expressed de- cided opinions, and were excused. THE EIGHTH JUROR CHOSEN. George W. Gates, a machinistat the navy-yard, thought he could be impartial, Under examina- tion by Mr. Scoville, Mr. Gates aid he had made ‘up his mind soon after the shooting; he had talked shout the case; his opinion, had been somewhat. changed since the shooting; hd-had continued to read the papers every day; ‘had not felt particular interest fn this subject; at the, inning he had as tor oe eee ee the motive of ciety; had never “politiginn: haa “bose dic. franchised with of the of the punishment “that you by. earence. “Would you yield your ene ole agen a By mut?” sas MET don't thinker woue William H. Wheatley had also expressed a: opinion, which he svid he felt confident in his ow: conscience would disqualify him. Set aside. James W. Tyler, William E. Spalding, Hugh 1 Hart, and Andrew W. Kelly formed decide: opinions, and were set aside. Robert Ball was excused because he Is at pres- ent on the Circuit Court jury. Samuel Haldeman, Franklin J. Acker and Alex- ander Leadingham had formed decided opinion and were set aside. Daniel Harkness was over age and excused. Thomas Somerville had formed a deciled opin- fon and was set aside. Another batch of talesmen were sworn. Robert_B. Tenney, John Kaiser, C. Ti. Nourse, Thomas Probey, John T. Cannon, Daniel Herbert and Wm. A. Henderson had formed decided opin- fons and were set aside. THE NINTH JUROR. Ralph Wormley, colored, a plasterer, had not formed such an opinion as would inc him from weighing the case impartially, but he said he “would rather be excused from serving.” Mr. Scoville examined him. He had read about the case “not more than about ordinary cases of thatkind.” He always felt interested in murder cases. He did not always believe newspaper re- ports. “Are you in the habit of belleving what you read in the newspapers?” asked Mr. Scoville. “No sir,” replied Mr. Wormle have sai true.” ‘This sally, spoken very Innocently by the juror, raised a lauch. The tilesman said he had ex: pressed the opinion, if this man shot the President, he ouzht to be hung. “Do you doubt whether this man shot the Presi- dent?” asked Mr. Scoville. “I don’t know; I wasn’t there.” “Do you think this man Was guflty criminolly?” “Of course, if he did the shooting he is guilty.” “Do you belleve if this man was insane that he ts guilty?” “Ir he did the shooting he wasas guilty as any one else would be.” “Do you think, then, that if a man be crazy, and commits a crime, he ought to be hung?” “Well, this crazy business ts something else.” “What has caused you to change your opinion at all, if you have changed it? “Well, what I've read. I belleve that no man who had good sense would do such a thing.” “He was not a church member; believed ina hereafter, and in capital punishment; was not much of @ politician; did not know the prisoner When he saw him; was not prejudiced against im. ‘The juror was accepted and sworn. THE PANEL EXHAUSTED. Eugene R. Lewis, John W. Pilling and Benjamin L. Wheeler had formed decided opinions, and were set aside, This exhausted the panel SEVENTY-FIVE MORE TALESMEN TO BE DRAWN. The district attorney, Corkhill, thereupon sug- gested that seventy-five additional talesmen be summoned. The court said that as but 3 more jurymen were needed, he thought they could get that number out of the 75 talesmen, and he ordered that 75 be drawn. ADJOURNED. Mr. Scoville asked how the tatesmen were drawn and was informed by the court. The court then, at 12:30 p.m., adjourned until to-morrow morning. Guiteau spent much of his tne, looking over the report of yesterday's proceedin: and his “appeal for justice” in Tne Stax, Ju before adjourning he showed symptoms of ad sire to read the address to the court, but Mr. Sc ville took the paper from him, Guiteau did not Tise from his seat once to-day. He appeared to be very much interested in the proceedings, and laughed very heartily several times at sayings of jurymen. ‘The Assassin Returned to Jail. SEERED AND HOOTED AT BY THE CROWD. As soon as the court adjourned the spectators began to crowd out. ‘The room was cleared in an incredibly short space of time. Guiteau was hand- cuffed and led through the witness’ room and by the small private stairway to the prisoners’ rooi upstairs. During his stay there of fifteen minutes or so, while waiting for the jail van, his brother > “because they some things about me which were not and sister visited him, and “had a long conversation with him.” His brother went out and bought a supply of fruits and cakes, which were done up in a neat bundie in a handkerchief and carried by the prisoner back to Jail. While waiting for the van a crowd of loungers lined the corridor on the floor below. and several hundred people assembled in front of the building to watch his departure. ‘There was_no demonstration of violence against the prisoner, bu when he passed trouzh the crowd on the’ sidewalk he was jeered and derided on every side. He quatled before the crowd, and slunk along between his guards as though his Imbs would not carry him. Until the driver whipped up the horses the crowd surrounded the van and saluted the trembling prisoner with de- risive shouts. BETHARD, THE WOULD-BE AVENGER, AGAIN, Among the loungers in the hall-way, waiting for the prisoner to be taken out, was one whose lank figure, shabby dress and careless swaggering bear- ing made him especially conspicuous. ‘This was Bethard, the man who wanted to shoot Guliteau in the Criminal Court room, when he was arraigned. “are you waiting for him again?” asked Tar STAR-man of this strange Ding. “They are watching me, I'm afraid,” said Bethard. “I wish I could get up behind him with a pistol, Just as he did the President. I'd fix him thea d—d soon.” “Are you provided with a weapon this time?” “No. Tean'tdo anythiug. They are watching me. Then I mightshoot some one else in the crowd. Why,” continued Bethard, lowering his voice, “T had a pistol the other tine. ‘The officers sald Tdi not, because they wanted me to get off. Tama Free Mason. I had one and they took it from me. You ought to have read what the west- ern papers sald about me. ‘They had articles that long (measuring off about two feet on his lo arm), Siying Tought to have been put in jail, f on bread und water, and horsewhipped for making such a miserable ‘failure.” When Guiteau was brought along through the hall, Bethard, who had moyed outside on the portico, said, “Oh, how I wish Thad a six-shooter.” He did not have one, and Guiteau again escaped the avenger. The Jurymen Obtained ‘To-day. WHO THEY ARE. The four jurors obtained to-day in the trial of Guiteau, for the murder of President Garfield, are the following: Mr. Michael J.
