Senator Rollins to-day offered the following &e amendment to Senator Ingalls’ bill for the en- | largement of the water works, which was pre- sented in full in Tie Star several day ys ‘That the Metropolitan police of the Dist: 0: ct of | Columbia are hereby declared to be, and made, water inspectors, in addition to the ot larly apy er regu- pinted water inspectors, and it shall be their duty, and they are hereby required, from time to e, under direction of the Commission- ers, to examine and inspect ail premises where Potomae water is taken or used, and if at any time they shall find water runnin to waste on any premises they shall fortiwith report the number and locality of the premises, the name ofthe owner or occupant, and the character of the waste to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, . Th s it upon the receipt of such report, or of any other satisfactory evidence that water is running to waste on any premises, it shall be the duty of the Commissioners to’ cause the water trar forthwith to notify the owner or ocenpant of said premises, and if such waste is not stopped within forty-eiht hours after such notice the water suppiy’shall be cut off. Sec. 3. That whenever the water supply shall *| be cut off under the provisions of the foregoing. section it shall not be turned on ayain until the owner or occupant of such premises has paid to the water registrar the sum of $2. This amendment is the Rollins Dill which Passed the Senate of the last Congress on the 16th of December, 1880, but died in the House. BILL TO MAKE ON! OF THE DISTRICT COMMIS- ‘BI RS A NON-RESIDENT. Senator Aldrich to-day introduced a bill to authorize the President, in his diseretion, to ap- point one of the three Commissioners from per- sons who have not resided here three years. In other words, It modities the present law so as to enable the President, if he sees fit, to appoint one Commisstoner who is not a bona fide resi dent. — see eee The Pressure on the U. 8. Supreme Court, DISCUSSING MEASURES TO RELIEVE IT. The committee of the American Bar Associa- tion met in the consultation room of the Su- preme Court at 11 a. m. to-day and sent to the supreme judges to inquire what hour would be conyenient for them to receive a visit from the committee. The court appointed a quarter to 12, and at that hour the committee paid their respects. At noon the committee went into session and entered upon a discussion of plans for the establishment of some jurisdiction that will relieve the Supreme Court of the pressure of business now upon it. A Star reporter saw Mr. Merrick, Mr. Clarkson N. Potter, of New York, and several others of the com- mittee. They said there was no proba- bility of anything definite being done to-day; that the entire subject would be can- vassed and the committee probably be in session for several days ; that the utmost cordiality ana unity of sentiment exists between the supreme Judes, the committee and the Senate judiciary committee ; that all of them realize the ne- cessity of early action, and it is probable that a new court will be established with jurisdiction over cases of such character as may properly be taken from the Supreme Court; that the docket of the Supreme Court will then be overhauled and sifted and all cases properly belong’ the new court transferred to it sas ge Senator Sherman’s Refunding Bill. TTS FULL TEXT AS AMENDED BY THK SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE. The full text of the Sherman funding biil, as amended by the Senate finance committee and reported from that committee to the Senate this afternoon by Mr. Morriil, is as follows: A bill to provide forthetssue of three per centum bonds. Be it enacted, &c., That the Secretary of the Treasury, is hereby authorized to receive at the Treasury, and at the office of 7.

AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. —— When the jury came into court this morning, at five minutes to 10 o'clock, the juror Gates was among them, and looked as though he had recovered from his temporary indisposition. There was a large attendance of spectators present, including Representatives Le Fevre, of Ohio, and Spear, of Georgia; ex-Sergeant-at- Arms Thompson, Senator Hawley, of Connecti- cut, and Hon. R. T, Merrick. Hon. Charkson Potter, of New York; Judge Parson, of Penn- sylvania, and Judge Courtland Parker, of New Jersey, sat on the bench with Judge Cox. GUITEAU OPENS WITH A LITTLE THE BENEFIT OF THE JURY. As soon as the court was opened, the prisoner said: “If your honor please, I want to make a little speech. It is very important that the health of this jury should be cared for, and we don’t want this thing to slip. It is a very fine liigent men. I suggest to the marshal that they be al- lowed to take a walk of four or five miles every day. Some of them are not used to good food, | I understand, and it disagrees with their diges Jury in every way—good, honest, inte tion.” The court remarked that the marshal would look after that. “Ehave got t I want to make daring the day,” said Guiteau. “I want to talk about money.” THE PRISONER iS AT A WITN!

The marshal had to admonish the spectators against disorder. Mrs. Ann Dunmire, the ex-wife of Guiteau, the witness wanted by Mr. Corkhill, was escorted in from the witness room by one of the bailits. She took a seat on the stand, and was so small in stature that she wasalmost completely hidden t from view. Shewasattired in black. with a gay bonnet and a white scarf, or handkerchief of lace about her neck. She talked so low that only those near the stand could hear her. During her trtef examination Guiteau never looked-up fron. a paper he pretended to read. “1 first met hon 9 Chicayo, in 1868,” the wit- ness said, “wher ‘ was employed in the library of the Young Men’s Christian association.” “Were you ever married to him?” asked the district attorney. T was married to him on the 10th of July, 1869, in Chicago.” MR. SCOVILLE OBJECTS TO HER TESTIMONY. “If the court please,” said Mr. Scoville ris- ing, “I object to any further testimony from the | Witness. She states that she was his wife in | 1869, and there is nothing to show that she is not his wife now. She is, as it stands, incom- petent as a witness.” “Have you been divorced from the prisoner?” the district atto: ait a minute; that’s not the way to do it: you must produce the record evidence.” RD OF DIVOR' ining this view, the district “Have you the record of your asi “T haye, sir.” ‘* Will you pass it to me?” The district attorney then called to the stand!

NOBLE YOUNG THINKS GUITEAU A PERFECTLY | BANE MAN. Dr. Noble Young, the attending physician at the jail, was next examined. He saw the pris- oner the day he was brought to the jail; did not remember any special conversation; he had seen | him nearly every day sinee, and conversed with | him regarding his heaith. A few days after iteau was brought to the jail, in a conversa- tion with the witness, he said he was inspired lent. should | he would be confirmed in his belief of in- om. He asked him once why he shouid blame of the death upon the docte: swer was that things must take th ‘al course.

GUITEAU SATISFIED WITH THE DEITY. Upon cross-examination, the witness being asked as to Guiteau’s statement in jail that if the President died it would confirm his belief that he was inspired, the prisoner, interrupt- ing, said: “I said it the President recovered it would show that the Lord had countermanded his order, just as he did in the ease of Abraham, He commanded him to kill his son, and then countermanded the order. The Lord will take care of it. too, gentleman. I am entirely satis- | fied with the way the Deity has taken care of this case so far.” Mr. ille asked if it would be possible to administer digitalis to the prisoner in his coffee without his knowing it. The witness said if any one wanted to do it he might. i They don’t do It there. Scoville.” said the prisor “They think I ain a great man at the Jail.” GUITBAU SNURS IS SISTER, When Mr. Scoville finished, Mrs. Scoville. rising, said: “If the court please, I would like to ask the doctor a question, which I consider of vital importance.” The court nodded assent, when the prisoner said, rather roughly, to his sister: “They have as much as these people can do to stand me, without having interruptions from you.” Mr. Davidge objected to having tite questions asked except through Mr. Scoville. MRS. SCOVILLE’S UNASKED QUESTIONS. Mr. Scoville said he would rather not haveher ask the questions. The court suggested that she could ask the questions through Mr. Scoville. So Mrs. Scoville sat down and penned her in- quiries, which she shortly afterwards sent to Mr. Scoville. He did not propound them to the witness. GUITEAU THINKS THE LECTURE WAS TOO MUCH FOR HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW. As Mr. Scoville continued to question the witness, the prisoner said: “You are about as stupid a man, Scoville, this morning as I ever knew. I guess that lec- ture last night was too much for you. If it had been a good night, you would probably have had a packed house. You had better do it again.” ness, “to administer medicine to an ineane person so as to affect the mind and to make that person more acute and brighter, or more quiet and subdued?” 5 “I have had so little to do with insane per- sons that I cannot answer that question,” said the witiess. “That's all, Doctor; I am mych obliged to (ee for that,” said the prisoner, and waving his and, he added: **You can go.” Mr. Scoville was of the same mind, and ex- e witness from the stand, President's remoy: the President. Mrs. Scoville having communicated some- thing to Mr. Scoville, the prisoner turned upon her angrily and said: “You are entirely too officious. Attend té your own affairs, and let this case alone.” 4 WITNESS FROM CHICAGO. Gen. Joseph 8.

Iam Just informed that not a newspaper in America, and that not a man, woman, or child, has spoken | in my defence. I claim that the reason the peo- ple feel as they do is because I have had no de- fence. I now wish to state distinetly why I attempted to remove the President. I had read the newspapers for and against the administra- tion very carefully for two months before I con- ceived the idea of removing him. Gradually, as the result of reading the newspapers, the idea settled on me that if the President was remoyed, it would unite the two factions of the republican party and thereby save the Govern- merit from going into the handsof the ex-rebels and their northern allies. These papers were the mouth-pieces of the stalwarts, the admin- istration and the democratic party. The idea of removing the President pressed “upon me for several weeks, and finally I attem to exe- cute it. Ihad none but the best of feelings for the President, personally. I had no malice and no murderous intent. I acted solely for the good of the American people. JI appreciate all the religious sentiment and horror connected with the attempted removal of the President. No one can surpass mein this; but I put away all sentiment and did my duty to God and the American people. I claim to be a gen- tleman and a Christian, and do not dissipate in any way. All my have been suppressed. and the public mind sees nothing but the fact of the assassination, and this is why there is such to remove the President was a — icact, and demand a full hearing. Very sincerely, Citarces Guireav, eUnitea States Jail, Washington, D.C., July 18, 1881. P. S.—Not asoul in the universe knew of my purpose to remove the President. It was my own conception and execution, and whether right or wrong I take the entire responsibility of it. CuaRLes Gurreau. P.
