AN APPEAL FROM THE ASSASSIN'S COUN- SEL TO THE PUBLIC, Natlonal Associated Press. WasHINGTON, October 19.—Mr. Scoville, counsel for Guiteau, has to- day issued the following appeal to the country: ‘‘To the public: Thetrial of Guiteau is fixed for November7th. The short time allowed makes this appeal to the public necessary, ~ Will the press kindly copy it? Guiteau attempted to lecture on religious subjects through several of the northern states. It is believed there are many people in that connection who can, if they will, furnish evidence of his insanity. Will they not do so in the interest of patriotism, justice, humanity and mercy? because if he is hung as a sane man it will be an eternal blot on our history of justice.” Mr. Scoville visited Guiteau in his cell this morning. The prisoner re- fused to give him the name of anyone who formerly knew him, saying that his past history had nothing to do with the case. Mr. Scoville says that he is not surprised to learn that Gen. B. F. Butler declines to assist him. Scovllle is preparing a brief for sub- mission to the court on the matter of ‘the court summoning witnesses for the defense. Scoville says he would not be surprised if Guiteau should tell him before long that he did not need his services at all. The prisoner seems to think he hasso benefited the republican party by the assassination -of Garfield that the. party ought .-to assume charge of his defense. Among the few who have volunteered information concerning his past life is George Francis Train, who says Gui- teau predicted Garfield’s death three months before his election. Mr. “Train will probably testify to this. ‘WasHINGTON, October 19.—Gui- ‘teau’s counsel will to-morrow ask Judee Cox that counsel be assigned to assist him in defending the prisoner, and he will also file argument in refer- .ence to his application for an order of the court allowing witness fees; and in this argumenthe will apply foran order under the revised statutes relating to the District of Columbia, as foilows: “‘Section 849, In all criminal trials the supreme court or judge try- ing a case may allow such number of witnesses on be- half of defendant as may appear necessary, the fees thereof with costs of service to be paid in the same manner a8 government witnesses are paid.” e claims there has been no repeal or modification of this statute since Feb- ruary 22, 1867, unless it may be held to have been absolutely repealed by virtue of statute approved February 21, 1871, incorporated as section 93 of the revised statutes, relat- ing to District of Columbia, as follows: “Section 93, *“The con- stitution and all laws of the United States which are not locally inaphca- ble shall have the same force and ef- JSoct within the District as elsewhere within the United States.” The counsel claims it was not repealed in criminal cases where the claim would seem to be sustained, The counsel «losed as follows: “The attention of your honor has thus been called to points of law on the application of the defendant, He asks no forced construction of any statute in his fa- vor. His counsel believes the proper «construction, having and giving the full effect of all acts of* congress, will enable your honor to make such an order as he asks to wit: That he may have summoned a like number of witnesses as are arrayed against him on behalf of the prosecution. The court is assured that the order asked will only be availed of so far as it may be necessary to a fair trial. Having failed to obtain the services of coun- sel who have been asked to under- take the defense and responsibility devolving entirely upon myself, at least of indicating what the defense will be, 1 have no hesitation in saying to your honor that I shall summon no witnesses except on the question of insanity. The question of malprac- tice has only been in abeyance, so that leading counsel who might come might not be hampered in organizing the defense according to their own views. It is now abandoned so far as T have any connection with the case.” 1t is definitely stated to-night that Judge Cox will to-morrow assign Gen, 8. 8. Hinkle and R. D. Massey, prom- inent members of the District bar, to assist Mr. Scoville in Guiteau’s de- fense, The letter recently discovered by Mr. Scoville trom Geo. Fraucis rain is characteristic, It covered a dozen sheets of foolseap and was writ- ten on both sides as large as baby's footprints. In one place it says: “I am an aristocrat crank, the only one the world could mot conquer. I hereby declare that Garfield was mur- dered by the surgeons, the treatment ELEVENTH YEAR. was wrong.” Call Grace Courtland to| York, reached here to-night and the stand, THE CLARK SCANDAL, THE MISSOURT CONGRESSIONAL WIFR- BEATER.

Boynton says Bliss was re- tained primarily at Lincoln's instance, and President Garheld said, when asked about the matter, .that he should leave the question of the change of treatment to the family and cabi- net, and the latter did not at the time feel at liberty to order it on their own responsibility.

Mr. Barnum also testified that after tiro returned the letters he told witness that he had put up a job on herbecause he wanted to possess her, and for this purpose he had taken the woman to Washington to personate her, and if she did not do as he wished her to do, he would ruin her by making it public.

When questioned a8 to roports of his resignation having been requested, Mr. Tyner denied saying anything beyond that he had received no such communication from the president. He, however, inti- mated after the return of the presi- dent and postmaster-general he would have something to say. It is a well known fact that the relations between Messrs, James and Tyner have not beenof themostagree- able naturefrom the outset, particularly 80 since the death of President Gar- field, nor is it a secret that Mr. James has endeavored persistently to secure the removal of his first assistant. It is manifest that upon the returnof the president to Washington the difficul- ties between these two officials will have to be settled; but whether Tyner will go or James go and Tyner stay, remains to be seen.

The lowlands on the opposite sida of the river are all under water in the vicinity of Sagetown, I, as are aleo the bottom lands on the JTowa side about this city. Several mills along the river front have been compelled to shut dewn. Islands above this city, covered with small trees, are under water and on some only the branches of trees are visible above the flood. At Keokuk, Towa, the river still continues on the boom. The outlork is dangerous, and great damage has already been done ~ There has been a rise of fourteen inches in the last twenty-four hours. Operations at the timber yards have been suspended.

Steamers with more troops and large numbers of passcu- gera arrived during the night; also James Gorden Bennett's handso:ae new yacht. The hatbor this morning is literally blocked with vessels, At the camp the soldiers suffcred consid- erably by cold during the night, and as the result quite a number are laid up sick with chills #oiday. Before nine o'clock the 8 from the war vessels in the harbor gave warniug of the readiness of the French and Germans to disembark. The steamer Catskill, with both parties on board, steamed up aud made fast alongside of the s er Excelsior. All the state governors, with staff officers, went al the Excelsior and participated in the reception. The congressional commission went aboard the Catskill aud escorted the guests on board the Bxcelsior, whero an informal reception was held, and the party then went ashore, and enter- ing conveyances, progeeded to the grand stand. President Arthur and the cabinet had arrived there ahead of them. Governor Cornell received the New York troops this morning The Ninth Massachuscits behaved very badly during the night, and several rows of a personal char- acter occurred between some of their men and soldiers of the First Virginia regiment., They were not serious though. The storm last night blew down many of the tents in camp, but everything was righted this morning. ' The ceremonies at the grand stand be- gan at noon. The pi opened go, Rock Tsland & Pacific roads. If the water continues to rise work will have to be suspended at the round house and car shops. At Dubuque the effects of the flood are visible on all sides. There will re- sult untold distress and loss in the stopping of saw mills, flour mills, ma- chine shops and factories. The ware- houses on the outer levee are threat- ened with water on the first floor, and the goods therein have been elevated with n!::ll:;: by t!:nfiriflo l?nsl.

He in- voked Divine blessings for the United States, the Queen of England and the republic of France; and the fact that he did not refer to Germany at all was universally noticed and com- on barrels and boxes, The water is up to the door sills. Occasionally piles of lumber and ricks of cordwood are seen floating with the rapid cur- rent, which has broken loose from some point above. The track of the river road runs on a narrow strip of land no wider than tho ties, with the water on each side nearly up to the top. From all reports and indications the worst is over. DusuQuE, October 19.—The Miss- issippi river continues to swell at this point, but with less force. A rise of two inches was observed last night, with a gain of two inches at McGreg- or and a fall of two inches at Browns- ville. The water will soon come to a stand here, although river men look for from three to six inches more. The lumber dealers are restricted in their operations, as the greater part of the yards are flooded and the water is nearly on a line with the railroad track. One more foot would stop trains from moving on some sgetions of the river road and cause trouble to the Illinois Central, RAILROAD MATTERS. National Associated Press, AN IMPORTANT INJUNCTION SUIT.
