Itis evident that strong efforts will be made early in the coming session to have the dis- continued routes restored, by the members whose constituents have been affected. It is said that a Tesolution will be introduced directing that no more mail routes shall be discontinued until Con- gress shall have time to inquire into the matter generally, and ascertain what routes are neces- sary. ‘This course, it is intimated, would be very acceptable to the Postmaster General, as It would relieve him of the responsibility and worry of assing upon the utility of questioned routes.

The Speakership Talk To-day. A new candidate for the Speakership looms up on the horizon. It is Mr. George D. Robinson, of Massachusetts. Mr. Robinson 1s not a candidate in the sense that he has asked mortal man to vote for him; but a number of his friends in the east and west have made up their minds that he ts the most available man for the place, and they intend to vote for him. Mr. Robinson has served three terms in the House of Representatives, is a lawyer and a graduate of Harvard College. His service In the last House of Representatives was on the judi- clary committee, It is sald that Gen. Keifer, of Ohio, made the statement If he did not have a’ stronger following to begin with than all the other candidates he would withdraw from the race. ‘The Pennsylvania delegation will insist upon the designation of Judge Kelly as chairman of the ways and means committee. They present no candidate for the Speakership, and will yote for the candidate who appreciates the request to nave Judge Kelly thus honored. ‘PROBATE BUSINESS.—The following business was transacted by Judze Hagner in the Probate Court yesterday, in addition to that mentioned in the Srax last evening: Exemplified copy of will of Robt.

GUITEAU’S ROOM AT THE COURT HOUSE. The prisoner, who says he has no fear, was hustled along by the guards, skulking out of sight behind the rampart formed by the burley frames of his keepers. He was taken immediately to his little room upstairs. This room 1s reached by a narrow, dark and winding flight of steps, leading from the window, just opposite the clerk’s office. ‘The room has always been used as a private office by the marshal Guiteau is kept there because, as Mayor Williams says, there 1s no other place to puthim. Itisa narrow apartment, sunk into a Tecess in the wall, and is alighted by one window. It 1s carpeted, contains a stove and a wash-stand, an old-fashioned desk, several chairs and a com- fortable couch. ‘The’ prisoner here performs his ablutions and takes his meals, spreading the dishes brought to him upon the ‘wide surface of the desk. ACCOMMODATIONS FOR SPECTATORS OF THE TRIAL. The crowd outside to-day was as numerous and impatient as ever. The marshal’s oMfice is given up to ladies who are rescued from the pushing and shoving mob, for even grim courts of justice recog- nize the courtesy due to the gentle sex. Marshal Henry and Major Willlams, representing the court, perform the needful acts of courtesy with great grace, patience and discretion, though there is always a din of women’s voices about their ears, and a hundred questions are discharged at them at once. ‘The doors of the court room were opened to spectators as early as half-past nine, so all the confusion incident to seating the crowd was over before the court assembled. SCENES IN THE COURT ROOM. ‘The jurors, who were taken for a long walk in the northwestern part of the city this morning, filed into the court room a few minutes before ten, with their cheeks glowing with the exercise and cold. Mr. Scoville, as usual, was one of the first to arrive on the scene, and spent the time arrang- ing his papers. Mr. Guiteau and Mrs. Scoville ar- rived a few minutes later. The experts were in their seats eariy. Mr. Charles H. Reed sat by Mr. Scoville a short ‘time during the morning. Mr. North and Mr. Amerling, Mr. Scoville’s two legal friends, also sat at the defence table before the court opened, OPENING SCENES. ‘The court was called to order at 10:07 a.m. Judge Cox always arrives at 10:07 by the court-room clock, to the minute. Before the court was rapped to order, Marshal Henry made a little speech Tepeating his injunction of yesterday in reference to keeping order. The prisoner, arrayed in a new overcoat and fully protected from the weather, as well as from “avenging cranks,” arrived a few minutes after the court was culled to order. Every one seemed in good humor, and there was promise of a very harmonious close to the second week of the great trial. A TELEGRAM FROM EMORY STORRS, Mr. Scoville rising, with a telegram in his hand; Said that he had yesterday moved an attachment for Mr. Emory A. Storrs, of Chicago. Last night he received the telegram from Mr. Storrs, which heread. The telegram stated that he (Mr. Storrs) found it impossible to come, owing to engagements in court. Mr. Scoville said under the circumstances he would withdraw his application for an attach- ment Mr. Davidge said that thé prosecution were willing to have Mr. Storrs examined at any time. GUITEAU CONTRADICTS A STATEMENT AS TO A FIGHT BETWEEN HIMSELF AND B18 FATHER. Mr. Thomas North was then called to the stand, and the cross-examnination which was interrupted by adjournment last evening was continued by Mr. Davidge. ‘The witness described again a scene at L. W. Guiteau’s house, where the prisoner had become enraged at a rebuke from his father for being late at the table, and struck the old gentleman, which act resulted in a personal conflict betwéem the elder and younger Gutteau. ‘The prisoner at once contradieted the witness, saying, “I don’t think there isa word of truth in this talk. I don't remember anything about it. I Temember most everything.” ‘The witness, continuing, sald he had been a min- ister of the M.E. chureh, but left in 1858; he had withdrawn voluntarily, on account of a change of his religious and theological views; the change took place especially in respect. to his views of holiness; defendant in 1869 joined the Episcopal church; ‘he had been solicited to return to his old MLE pulpit in Freeport, and preached there, but owing to political aifferences his relations with the church were interrupted. ‘The whole testimony of the witness was raked over searchingly by Mr. Davidge, but the witness’ head remained perfectly clear,and he did not vary from his original accounts Of scenes which he had described in his direct testimony. Mr. North having told again the story where Mr. L. W. Guiteau had advised the father of a young man who opposed the entry of his family to the Oneida. Community to “take a knife and slay him, as Abraham slew Isaac.” “Did Abraham ever slay ‘Mr. Davidge inquired: Isaac?” : “I didn’t say he did,” Teplice the prisoner. The witness thought Guiteau was labor- ase sion; Mr. Guiteau had thought It was inspiration, Referring to a scene he described yesterday of the elder Guiteau’s strange excitement in the “Cave of the Winds,” at Niagara Falls, Mr. Davidge kept the witness going, over parts of the story for several minutes. ‘The witness having sald yester- day that three things—dinner, @ bath and a rest— were necessary to restore Mr. Guiteau to his usual equanimity after his experience in the “Cave of the Winds,” the witness added a fourth thing to- day, several games of vena in the basement of the chureh back of the Clifton house. He had had several conversations with Mr. Scoville since the Shyoting, and had communieated with him by r CURIOUS RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. Mr. North being pressed to give the words of L. W. Guiteau when his daughter was sick, and he discharged the doctors, he said Mr. Guiteau knelt and sald in substance: “Oh Lord Jesus Christ, let this, my daughter, be healed by ‘Thy healing pow- er.” Then, becoming a little more personal, as though he was himsef the conduitof Divine power, hesald: “In the name‘ot Jesus Christ, I rebuke this disease.” The witness said Mr. Guiteau appeared more frenzied and passionate than men Who simply offered prayer in the usual form; his manner on that occasion was like himself, sut generis. On another similar occasion he had commanded the disease to leave, without, ang | prelimi nary prayer. At’ that the, the witness said, he, like L. W. Guiteau, was a perfection- ist; he did not believe in el by the Holy Ghost, to the extent that L. W. Guiteau did; he did not concur with Mr. Guiteau in the belief in earthly immortality; Guiteau believed there were persons then living, of whom he was one, who would never die. Witness was asked, whether in his view at that time, the Oneida Community was an agency by which the world was to reach the state of immortality. ‘The Gnelda Community, the witness sald, regarded itself a3 a germ expres- sion, so to speak, of the new Jerusalem on earth. ‘The witness was Armenian in his views, and had serious diMiculties with leaders of the Oneida Com- munity on the subject of free will; witness be- Heved in the Communit vas the best form of society;he did not think at- the time referred to that itwas le to work @ut successfully a communistic form of so¢tety, pt upon reli- gious grounds. ‘The witness did he had heard of Other cases where Mr. L.

He lalned that witness was under obligations to assist him. He took out an application for office, written on a sheet of foolscap, containing his ay plication for office. Witness endeavored to get rid of him. He (the prisoner) was dressed very pecu- larly. The weather was cold, and the prisoner was ‘dressed in ight apparel and wore sandals instead of shoes. He again called on witness a day or two afterwards and insisted that witness should sign his application, as he (witness) was his Senator. Witness declined to do so. ‘There was a little more excitement in Guiteau’s manner at the second in- terview. Witness in order to get rid of him said “at the frst time I see the Secretary of State I will mention your case to him.” Witness intended {o mention it, but not in the way Guiteau wanted m, Mr. Scoville having asked what his opinion was as to the mental soundness of the prisoner the Senator said he was not an expert and did not consider himself competent to pass judgment on that matter. ‘The court said his reply would be admissible. “There was some disarrangement of his mental organization,” replied the Senator, “but to what extent I could not say.” ‘Witness having afterwards seen the prisoner at the table at the boarding house, said to his land- lady: “I do not think he (the prisoner) 1s a proper person to have fn your boarding house. ‘I think he Isa little off in his head.” ‘The landlady asked What he meant, and he replied, “I think he isa little crazy.” Cross-examined by Mr. Davidge, the Senator sald he thought these interviews took place about the 12th of last Mareh. Life in the Oneida Community. Mr. George D. Hubbard, a farmer of Oneida county, New York, was called and sworn. He worked for the Onelda community in their trap shops for several years from 1863; he met the prisoner there at work in the shops; had heard him express his views on religious subjects; witness heard him say once he thought he was Inspired to become aleader there, and, in course of time, he expected to get the’ position of Mr. Noyes; ‘witness had observed that he was a ve nervous, quick tempered man; if anything was sald that “riled” him he would gesticulate wildly and talk mysteriously; sometimes he would sit for hours fn a corner and not speak to anyone; at other times he was very soclable; he had noticed evidences of ‘absience of mind; as shown by inaccuracies in his business; Guiteau worked at pack fng traps, and he would often pack traps with chains when he ought to have packed traps without chains; one Sunday he came to wit- ness’ house and said he intended to leave the com- munity unbeknown to them, and wanted witness to help him; witness asked why he did not tell the community, and he said he had once, but had been called up for criticism, which was very disagrec- able to him; he sald he had received money from friends in the west; witness never belonged to the community, and lived outside with his family. Mr. Davidge conducted the cross-examination. Witness said that Guiteau when spoken to, if he did not like what he said, would turn away. He was a good workman,’ but sometimes “got mixed.” ‘The witness having sald that the doors ot the Community were opened to those who wanted to ‘0, Mr. Scoville asked him about an aunt of his. nis aunt, the witness sald, had been taken from. the Community by his father. She was found confined ina room. She had been horse-whipped with a raw hide. She was afterwards sent to the asylum at Utica and remained there a year, when she recovered her reason. She was insane ‘before leaving the Community. GUITEAU ON THE ONEIDA COMMUNITY. “I remember that case myself,” sald the pris- oner. The witness being questioned as to restraint Placed upod the Communists, Guiteau said: “There 1s no physical restraint there, but always spiritual and social restraint, which is a great | deal worse than physical. It’was the idea that those who left the Community would be forever damned that kept the community together.” GUITEAU AS A POLITICIAN. Edmund M. Sinith, of Chicago, was called and ex- amined. He was connected with the republican national committee during the las tpresidential campaign, and met the prisoner about the head- quarters in New York frequently; he wanted to be puton the listof speakers, and wanted recognitior witness did not hear him state his claims; witness Judged that his conversation was flighty ; he seemed unable to put half a dozen sentences together, connectedly.” He thought Guiteau got no appeint- ment to speak; witness used to make the record of requests for speeches and_ never heard of the pris- Oner’s having made a speech by the authority of the national committee. GUITEAU SNUBS THE WITNESS. The prisoner here broke in and said: “That gen- tleman wasn’t in a position to know about that. He was only a clerk there. “Gov. Jewell was the man that did the business, and Col. Hooker, Sena- tor Dorsey and the rest of us fellows.” ‘The witness being cross-questioned said he at- tended to the distribution of documents, and he added: “We paid the honest postage on all of them.” . THE DAKOTA DEPOSITION. Mr. Scoville here read the deposition of John W: ‘Turner, of Dakota Territory. It set forth that de- ponent was 81 years of age anda miller; he knew L. W. Guiteau, his father Dr. Francis Guiteau, and Mrs. Maynard and Mrs. Parker, sisters of L. W. Guiteau; had been intimate with the family of Luther W. Guiteau; had noticed that Mrs. May- nard at times was flighty; her mind was wander- ing; one of her children, Abby, was crazy or in- sane; deponent was informed that Mrs. Maynard was $0 insane before she died that she had to be watched; had seen her in lite when she had to be watched; in 1847 Mr. W. 8. Maynard came to his home with Abby Maynard, who was so insane that she had to be Watched; she was not violent, but talked without any sense or meaning; she seemed to have lost her mind entirely. It took fifteen minutes to read the deposition. Fernando Jones was called and did not answer. A CASE OF INSPIRATION. John Moss was called and Justice John A. Moss (colored) was brought in by the crier and sworn. He seemed bewildered and said he had not been subpeenaed. ‘There was some discussion as to why the witness had not been subpoenaed and the pros- ecution notified. “There 1s no difference about it,” sald Mr. Day- Jdge.. “it Is simply a case of Inspiration.” he witness testified that he had seen the pris- oner about the Executive Mansion during March. April, May and June; there was something pecu: Mar “about him; witness thought he was crazy when he first saw him, because he looked as crazy people very often looked; witness did not hear im say anything, but his appearance gave wit- ness the Impression that he was crazy. Mr. Davidge cross-examined the witness, who said he was at the White House, like others, 100k. ing after office. ‘You and he belen; to the same e said Mr. Davidge, ged crowd then?’ “No, sir. I think he belo! two Pee mged to the crazy ‘THE FIGHT IN THE CAPITOL LIBRARY ABOUT THE GAR- FIELD PICTURE. ‘The witness explained that he was not there 80 much to get office as to tell Gen.

THE KIND OF LETTERS JUDGE COX I8 RECEIVING, Judge Cox is daily receiving letters, most of them anonymous, and some enclosing newspaper clippings), reflecting on his conduct of the Guiteau case. One letter dated St. Paul, Minn., November 21, 1881, and signed “Justice”, says: “You are making a farce of the Guiteau trial. It 1s a dis- | grace to the nation and the worid. For the love Of God and country charge that jury to convict him of murder in the first degree.” Another letter, signed “Ladies of St. Paul,” asks, “Do you not think that you are showing altogether too much compassion and mercy to the notorious scoundrel and murderer, Guiteau?” One signed Edward Day, justice of the peace, Louis River, N. J., Says, after referring to the reports of the tr. “T would Advise you to withdraw, as Mr. Robin- son has done; And Not further disgrace the Post- tion You so dishonorably nll.
