The prisoner but paler than yesterday afternoon. Scoville offered to but on evidence the Bloomingdale asylum record, showing that Francis W. Guiteau died there in 1827, insane. The prosecution admitted the fact, and the prisoner then resumed the witness stand and walked to the box between two officers and glanced ner- vously around. As he took his seat, Guiteau asked if he was on asa rogular witness or to identify papers. Scoyille replicd that the papers were identitied and he wished now to ask him a few questions. Guiteau said it was all right if he was not cress-examined. He did not want the prosecution to_take advan- tage of his bresent condition; he had not been very well for several days. Scoville said it he were too ill to proceed the court would probably sus- pend the examination. The prosecution objected and the court decided he could not suspend unless both sides agreed. It was then arranged Scoville should read in evi- denco the letters identitied yesterday Guiteau asked permission to resume his regular seat which was allowed and bogan waiting vigorously Scoville read the letters written by Guiteau to his father from school, in Chicago, detailing his «xpomlilums of moneys etc. During the reading Mrs. Scoville offered the prisoner he smelling salts, saying: Do you feel nt, Charlie/” “The prisonerrepliod: “No, Islept well last night, but do not want to ge on the stand till 1 have some notice of it.” One letter was signed 3. The prisoner interrupted, suy ing ho must have been pretty crank to sign a lctter that way. Another letter, he explained, was written when he was seventeen years old and badly cranked too. *Many letters were from the Oneida Sommunity and Guiteau interrupted to say he was ashamed of that fanati- <cism and wished the letters were not introduced. ‘One letter was about publishing a theocractic newsprper; another that he believed only in serv- ing God. Both were approved by Guiteau. He took every opportuuity to abuse the Oneida community. The reading of the letters were finghed at noon and Guiteau resumed the stand, answering questions in a straightfor- ward manner upon that subject. Gui- teau continued. that while he was at Ann Arbor n school his father wrote a number of letters to him which re- sulted in his joining the community which was a system of fanaticism which enabled Noyes to sleep with crowded, :ds were unable to gain ad- alm, “C. Julius y such remark as this called out more or less laughter, but during the entire tegtimony neither court or government counsel interfered at all. He told how he rode from town to town. Said he: “Now you mag call me a dead beat, but T call it working 1§ I had money I vaid it; if not, T didn't worry about it. The Lord had charge of me aund if T could not pay my board T let the Lord settle it."” At this point Guiteau became ex- cited and vyicious, and said it was claimed that people would be damned if they did not believe 1n fanaticism, He was thus led to review his child- hood, He said his father used to com- pel the children at the table to say they thanked God for John H. Noyes, the Oneida community, « His father was a crank on the subject. Scoville usked what he meant by “‘crank,” and he replied that he was badly insane on that point. His was a queer kind, and he fell into his ways. He was in dead earnest until he got inta Beecher's church, aud *‘Beecher was virtuous thea.” the laugh that followed, recess taken. After recess the prisoner resumed the stand and reiterated his diszust of the Oneida communiy. He re the Theo- | crat and its failure, and his return to | the commumty and principles, He | was 80 haunted he feared he would bo damnel. He intended the poper should be the organ of the Deity and | church benevolent associations, and | remained in the community one year Once while there they tlm.u.nul to blow him up.

He suffered mental agony; the lowest New York bummers were put in his cell. After that he resumed the law business. He tried to purchase the Chicago Inter-Ocean. e offered to make one mau governot of Tllinois if he would advance part of the $75,000 needed. He got 825,000 out of his old friend, Charles Reed. He had ar. ranged about the building, presses, and dispatch arrangements, and news- paper men favored the ssheme. About this timo he sued the New York Her- ald for $100,000. This was a cranky proceeding. ““If T had sued for 000, I would probably have got & Bennett's lawyer thought he anky” for sueing for so larg amount, and the prisoner was sorr had not put it lower, He then took up his lecture experi was an he ence.

He drifted to Washii in the fall of 1877. He afterwards went to Boston, Providence, otc His memory of all these details was excellent. At 2:85 Corkhill suggested that Guiteau must be tried. ‘The prison er said ‘‘yes” and the court ad- journed until to-morrow. Large crowds were present. FREEPORT WI owr, Til., November 26, — Ed- Barton, General Swmith, D T. Greea, Dr. B. Y. Buckley Atkins, and G. W. Sandy, all prominent citi- zens, left last might for Washington to testify in the Guiteau case in be- half of the prosceution, THE REVENUE. KEPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS, Wasnixaron, November 29.—-The annual report of the commissioner of internal revenue submitted to-day, shows the receipts for the last fiscal were $135,229,912 30, and the receipts for the first four months of the present year $50,876,070 11, an increase which, if maintained during the present year, will bring the ag- gregate up to $137,000,000. Re- ferring to the general discussion as to the propriety of reducing the income of t{m government, by reducing or dropping certain taxes, the commis- sioner says: When the government will allow the reduction of intermal taxation, it would be wise to confine these taxes to distilled spirits, malt liquors, tobacco, and such products, and to special taxes upon manufaoc- turers and dealers in these articles, and to fix such taxes as would yield the amount of reverue neccssary to be raised from these sources. The re- coipts from tobacco this year were £42,854.901 31, The report also gays that all collectors bave made full counts for public moncy in tk hands, and that the entire expense of collections during the past five years has been 8 37-100 per cent of the amount collected. The largest ool- lections were 1nde m the First Ohio district, and the next in the Fifth districe of 1lingis. Note also is made of the that during the past five y ars allicit distil- ling bas been reduced to a minimum and the illicit manufacture of tobacco for the most part has been abandoned. There is more cordiality between the government and state officials growing disposition on the part of tax payers fo obey the laws, There should be laws for punishment in the United States courts of thase killing or mak- g an attempt upon oflicers of the nited States. Now there is only the United Stites law against conspi- racy toobstructenforcement of chelaw; for thlu the penalty is a fine, It also recommends that the legislature au- thorize pensions to the widowand chil- dren of officers killed in trying to enforce the law. Objections are made to the fees and allowance system and regular salaries to Umted States mar- shals is recommended. On’ the sub- ject of civil service the commissioner thinks the adoption of this system would embody the following ideas st Kstablishment of a term of of four years for subordinato s, clerks and employees.
