CONCERNING DETAILS FROM THE ARMY. Recently the Senate committee on military af- fairs directed that a bill entitled “Concerning de- tails from the ariny,” and introduced by Senator Plumb, be favorably reported, which was done, and the bill went on the calendar, ‘The bill pro- vides that “no regimental or company oMicer shall be detached from duty with his regiment or com- pany for more than three years consecutively, and any officer heretofore or hereafter detatled who shall be returned to duty with his company or regiment under the provisions of this bill shall not again be detailed, except temporarily, and not then for a period of more than sixty days, until after the expiration of three years from his return to his company or regiment.” The favorable ac- Uon of the committee on this bill created a stir among the army officers in Washington, and a mighty pressure was at once brought to bear against it. Under tts provisions there would be sweeping changes among the detatled officers here. In the military committee this morning, after some discussion, Senator Sewell was authorized to move to have the bill recommitted with the view of its modification; but if the motion prevatls it 1s not improbable that the bill will be allowed to die in committee. A Senator said this morning that he Would oppose the motion to recommit, for said he “There are officers now in Washington who have been on detail here for eighteen years, and the Secretary of War can’t get rid of them.” THE GENEVA AWARD CLAIMS. At the meeting of the House committee on the judiciary this morning the question of distributing the remainder of the Geneva award fund was dis- posed of by the committee ag follows: On the pgpition to refer the question to the ‘Court of be Ley heewlidie pet bimp tbe ad On the propo- jon to pay.the claims Insurance com} les tie vote was ‘uunantinous tn the hegative.

PORTER’S STERN SUMMING UP. ——— THE PRISONER’S TERRIBLE CRIME, — ATTEMPTS OF THE PRISONER AND COUNSEL TO SHIFT THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. ——— CONELING, GRANT AND ARTHUR DEFENDED. ———_— ‘To the doorkeepers at the City Hall there seemed no end to the crowd that surged through the corri- dors this morning. A multitude of people stood about the steps outside Stamping thelr feet and waiting. A large majority of the crowd never even reached the doors, for the court room was filled to its greatest capacity before there was any appreciable diminution in the size of the crowd Outside. The counsel for the defence made their appearance in count with their usual promptness, half an hour before the proceedings were opened. Mr. Porter when he entered the court room was much improved in appearance, owing to a color imparted to his cheeks by the frosty air. He sald he felt much better and expected to talk all day. ‘The court was called to order a few minutes later. OUITEAU’S OPENING REMARKS. When the prisoner was brought in and placed in the dock, Mr."Porter arose and had got so far as to say “If it please the court,” when the prigoner interrupted him and said: “I desire to Say that some crank has signed my name ‘toa communication in the papers this morning. I re- puilate it. I also understand that two cranks were arrested this morning, who had been lyin; around here since Saturday. I wish to say that am in charge of this court and 3ts officers, and if anyone undertakes to harm me he will ve shot down. When I get outside I ean take care of my- seit.” MR. PORTER SARCASTIC. When the prisoner stopped Mr. Porter proceeded saying: “AS usual the court has been opened by the prisoner, but by his permission I will pro- ceed. Iam grateful to you for the indulgence that has enabled me to continue this morning, for if I had continued yesterday I would have been utterly exhausted.” THE DEFENCE FOUNDED ON SHAM FALSEHOOD. Mr. Porter said he felt tha§ they, the jury, were the innocent sufferers in thig black atmosphere of slander and blasphemy for another's crime; they would extend some indulgence to those who spoke in behalf of the govenment and law. He endeavored yesterday to show that this defence Was founded on sham and bfazen falsehood. The maxim of the disciples of Guiteau seemed to be “untruth uttered with Rffrontery, and forced by persistency, reduplicated, by reiteration.” He suid statements of the def not only clashed with one another, but clashed with the inspir- ations of Guiteau &nd Noyes, and all clashed with the honest truth of the case hich the jury Was to AND BRAZEN assert and declare. He had'shown how the pris- oner had belied by his actg the character given by his counsel. He had sho@n that he was A LIAR, AND A SWINDLER,“AND A MURDERER, atheart from the beginning! That this man had grown worse every year theg all saw and knew— disobedient child, lawless, id ungratefut to his father—that he stung every gnan who benefitted him,—that he had an inordifute desire for unholy hotoriety—that his malice was bouadiess. And his terribie crime was consistent with all this. ‘There js a self-propaguting | property in sin and crime, so that it 18 constantly increasing until it enfolds a man entirely, und hb becomes not by birth but by culture a moral me Ly. “Thats bosh, and you %& Porter,” inter- Tupted the prisoner. GUITEAU WRITHING UNDER jun. PORTER'S LASH. Aside trom the charge t Une prosecution had bought witnesses to perjurygMr. Porter continued, they thought it needful to cf the government with having suppressed testimony. “You don’t represent the government, sir,” tn- terrupted the prisoner. “ Afforney General Brew- ster would not recognize yoron the street.” “I presume he wouldnt,"gatd Mr. Porter, “for | he does not know me.” “(He isa gentleman and you are a wine bibber,” shouted the pmsoner. - * Perbaps I am,” replied W® Porter. “Yes, I guess you ure,” sai@ tne prisoner, “ And it reuinds me,” conuziued Mr. Porter, “ of an address I heard in a temperance inveting inany years ugo.” THE SPIRIT ABOVE AND THE SPIRIT BELOW. He then narrated the storys of a church deacon who had rented a vault of{a church and stored certain casks of wine there. * “If you had been there,” ke in the prisoner, “you Would have emptod them.” Upon that fact, continued Mr. Porter, a distich had been composed, “There's a spirit above, It Is the spirit of love; ‘There 1s a spirit peiow, It is the spirit of Woe.” It was for them to judge whether it, was the spirit of love or the spirit of roe that led to this crime. by THE CHARGE OF SUPPREBSING EVIDENCE. What was the evidence tligt they charged had been suppressed? They hat the government ‘Was bound to sustain their eae by producing their records. He referred to thefmission of Gen.

Porter, “I deny it.” fi & JUDGE cox’s ee Judge Cox sald that Mr. Borter’s argument, as tothe production of the papers, was a very cor- rect one; but he had no right to say anything as to the contents of the paper. ‘MR. PORTER'S REPLY 30 THE COURT. Mr. Porter said the court had permitted not only the prisoner but his counsel to state repeatedly what this paper had contained. Mr. Porter persisted that he had a right to deny the allegations of the prisoner. Sudge Cox sald the prisoner was a witness under al “He was in the dock snot as a witness, and Mr, Scoville was not a witness.” replied Mr. Porter. Mr. Porter finally turned $0 another branch of his subject. MR. SCOVILLE’S CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY, They were charged with having formed a con- y General directed mute as the dead murderer's will be has been executed. it he had no right to been told, day after his,” thundered Mr. spliracy, Mr. Porter said, to hang **this Christian, prayerful gentleman.” ‘They had had a bold at- tempt to overrule the court and to goto the jury with a question of law, and tell them it was a Juestion of fact. Ref to the crit.cisms upon: ‘udge Noah Davis, he sofar from that judge having declared the law in violation of all previous law, he knew the court would say that it was de- livered in accordance with the decisions of the jus- tices of the: United States Supreme Court, He in- vited the court’s attention to the case of the state against Martin, in Which he said the law was laid down in precise accordanee with Mr. Davidge’s rayers. ba Ke sald that if the question of law teed, rising, was to be discussed again the defence wanted the when authorities and an opportunity to reply. ‘Mr. Porter was about to ecision, the defence again objected. “Wr. Porter said it would serve his purpose as well to hand the de- cision to the judge, 60 he thereupon handes ae Journal to Judge Cox. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PHESIDENT’S DEATH. Mr. Porter turning to the quéstion of responsi- bility for the President’s murder asked: Who killed him? “The doctors,” shouted the “The doctars responds.

LEIGH ON’S PARTICIPA- TION IN THEO Mr. Porter said he had appearedin the case; hehad acted upon his convictions; Sut he was a gentie- man, a man of honor, a lawyef who could descend to nothing unworthy of se lence, abuse and ingult, with ” ny, 80 tar as ‘the prisoner and his counsel could Infiict Seiten cts amturains asan honorable lawyer or an honorable geatic- Dan THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CRIME. ‘The prisoner told them that the responsibility Was upon Secretary Blaine. He had sail before the responsiblity was upon God. There was the widow, whom so far as it appeurs. Mr. Reed never saw, but whom he claimed had made him het spokesman to tell the jury that she was kneeling in prayer that We jury shouid declare this man ts @lunatic, There Wasa sense In whlch the pris- oner leit her responsfole for the President's de :th, because he had sworn if she hai he-n with the President he wonld not have fired the shot. WHR JURY NOT TO BR MERE INTELLECTUAL Ma- CHINES. They told the jury that they must leave their moral nature outside when they came into the Jury box, and be mere intellectual machines. Not sothelaw. The judges were t) be mere inteliec- tual machines; they were to leave feeling outside of the court, but long before the magna charta it was established that the criine of murder should be tried by a. jury of the vicinage—men who knew the man, and Who took thelr moral natures with them tnto the Jury box. After an cffective descrip- tion of the crime, Mr. Porter, gazing 1a apparent horror at the prisoner at the dock, sald: “Gentle- men, it 18 well for us all that the law does not call upon jurors to leave the only immortal pirt of thelr nature—their moral nature—outside of th court house when they come to try a.case like is” TRYING TO EVADE THE RESPONSIBILITY. Mr. Porter then rapidly reviewed and ridicuted the attempts to throw the respensibility for the erime upon John H. Noyes, upon the father of the prisoner, his mother, his uncles and cousins. ‘They had killed Garfleld by making this man a con- genital monstrosity. “If all these people Killed Gen. Garfield,” sald the prisoner, pretending not topercelve the satire, “you had better dismiss your case. ‘The Chicago convention, the electors of th: United States, said Mr. Porter, they had killed Garfield. This prisoner came fo the concinsion that God undertook to take the back track after inspiring the Chicago convention and the election of Garfield, by appointing hima with his swindling Tecord—him the man who struck his father, who lifted an axe against ils sister, who struck his brother—appointing him to correct the errors of God by murdering the President. Ah! but even this was not enough. The press, the press that killed Garfield, and the press summarily ar- raigned by this prisoner, indicted without the or- dinary formality of law, accused by this mur- derer, but fortunately he no longer had his bull- dog pistol, and they were only to be convicted of the murder of Garfield by THE BLISTERED TONGUE OF THIS MURDEROUS LIAR. It is true, that in the heat of political strife they said hard things of one anotuer, but is that hotst- ing the black flag and giving liberty to a murderer to kill whom he pleases? That’s the theory of this defence. Then came another charge—he was ashamed to say 1t—not from the prisoner, but from & man who claimed to be a member of the Ameri- can bar. There were those who are placed in too loity a position to defend themselves from the vi- Pers that hissed at them. There was A DISTINGUISHED AMERICAN SENATOR, who would this moment, were he not too prou:l to accept the office, be occupying a seat on the Su- preme bench of the United States—a man earnest in all he undertakes—a nyan falthful to bts friends, to his convictions, even though they involved sacrifice—a man who shrunk from nothing, and whose unstained integrity, courage, fearless- ness all _knew—such a man was to-day arraigned before an American jury, not_by the prisoner, but by the prisoner's defender, as responsible for the murder of President Garfield. “Not by my consent,” interrupted the prisoner. GEN. GRANT. Mr. Porter here paid aghigh tribute to Gen. Grant, without mentioning his name. “He was arraigned by the lawyer of Guiteau—” “But not by Guiteau,” interjected the prisoner. “As responsible,” continued Mr. Porter, “for the murder of President Garfield. Nay, more than that, we have THE PRESIDENT OF THR UNITED STATRS—” ‘Made so,” interrupted the prisoner, “by the inspiration of Guiteau, and don’t you forget it, Porter.” “The successor of Garfield,” continued Mr. Porter. “The successor of Lincoln, of Jackson, of Washington and Jefferson and Adams; elevated to that position not by an assassin, but by the voice of his countrymen. Every vote in the United States that was cast for James A. Garfield was cast for Chester A. Arthur. When this creature says ‘I made Arthur President,’ he forgets that Gen. Arthur was made President by the voice of his countrymen.” Having referred to the Constl- tution as making provision for the succession to the Presidency in any contingency, whether the President met his death by slipping op an orange peel or treading on a rattlesnake, “Was it the orange peel or the rattlesnake here?” asked Mr. Porter, “for the prisoner had shown himself all hi life as Sltppery as the orange peel and as venomo as the rattlesnake. This was a rattlesnake witl out the rattle, but not the fangs. He made Gen, Arthur President of the United States, just as t rattlesnake might have done.” THE DEAD PRESIDENT AND THE PRISONER. ‘They were toll by this defence that Gen. Garfleld himself, when this prisoner met him tn paradise—to which his daily prayers were addressed, although he seemed very averse to going there—that Presi- dent Garfield would be shocked; that he will be very much astonished that a jury should have found his murderer guilty. He would read, as art of his argument, something that was histori- al, to show What the President belleved regarding this prisoner. He then read tie reported conver- sation between President Garfield and Mrs. Dr. Edson during his illness, in which the President ‘sald he supposed people would come to him one day with 2 petition to pardon this man, and, after discussing the position in which he would be Placed, said: “No, I don’t suppose I could.” “I wish to say,” spoke up the prisoner, “that I at- tended Mrs. Garfteld’s reception at the White House, and was received very well.” ‘THE DEVIL IN THE SWINE. Mr. Porter proceeded to quote from the Bible, but having some difficulty in finding the place; the prisoner sald: “You are not acquainted with the Bible, I see.” Mr. Porter then cited the passage where the devils having been cast out of the multitude took refuge in the swine, and the swine rushed down into the sea and Were choked. Whether or not ihe devil in this man was not tobe choked by law remained for this jury to say. “It you don’t stop drinking wine,” said the pris® oner, “the devil will choke you. You will go toa drunkard’s grave yet.” ‘RECESS. At 12 o’clock a recess fora half hour was taken. After Recess. GUITEAU AN ACTOR, When the court reassembled at 1:35 Mr. Porter resumed his argument and referred to the state- ment mnade by Mr. Reed in argument that the Jurors were kings or emperors. Mr. Porter sald they were kings and emperors in the same sense as that prisoner who sits in the box uncrowned except in his own conception, a man who sup- poses that when he had lifted’his hands, stained With the blood of an illustrious man, he became himsit dilustrious. He told us that if necessary to shield him a juror, or the judge, or one of the counsel Will be struck down. He was an actor. While in jail he had been playing his natural part; here he played another part posing before the jury and carrying out the ions of his counsel. Bees this man had sworn that he prayed to God, there was not that soul in the as- sembly whoshrank as did this wretch from meet- ing his Maker. GUITEAU CALLS MR. PORTER AN INFERNAL SCOUN- DREL. “That’s absolutely false, Porter,” shouted the prisoner, “and you know it, too; and you are’ an infernal scoundrel. God Almighty will put you below with CorkhilL” There was no man-made king, sald Mr. Porter, no man-made emperor on the jury. They were God-made men. He did not believe—as the de- fence would have pon believe—that there was one dishonest man on the j who would violate his oath. It having, he been settled who killed Garfield, he would turn now to the ques- ton, Did he murder him? ‘WaS GUITEAU INSANE? Having quoted from the judge’s instructions, he said the firstof the issues to be considered was, “Was Charles'Guiteau insane on the 24 of July?” If he were not the case was at anend. The second issue for them to consider—if they reached that— ‘was if he was was he insane to sucha degree that on the 2a murder was morally and were not insane to that Ing tity at tie trial of her brother, retura: + INTS He to this city yest TWO CENTS, © | winus\dy'y j Svovitie = Sai n Wash- = = aa tngtos W..0 hove seen ed he is aad been by the President's side he would have | {nS-ne and irresp ns reas, should have sonable | FePOTM the priasuers address to the jury as stayed his hand.

Mr. Porter haying referred to the Divine com- mand against murder and the law,*Wheso shedeth | The blood of man, by man his blood shall be'shed,” | the prisoner said: “That was 3,000 or 4,000 years ago. We've got new laws since then.” THE GOSPEL OF GUITEAU. They had had the gospel of Guiteau, sald Mr. Porter, and he thought the jury wouid endorse it. Well itis said this man 1s insane, His insanity 1s hereditary. From whom did he inherit? From a murderer? No. He inhertied from his father, who had worshipped God down to the time of his death; a pure, just, righteous, consclentious man. af the ercury ‘The Wadson ts ‘hwo inches of cutting i active ekskill north. 1 night a everywhere north of ( PORTY Wurrenant., NX.
