Mr. Hutchins, discussing the re- port of the commnittee on rules in- creasing the membership of commit- toes, criticised the formation of sev- eral of the committees and said that he would favor the election of com- mittees by the house and not permit thé speaker to dictate the legislation of the whole country in the appoint- ment of committees. Mr. Kasson smd that there was no need for increasing the size of the oemmittees. Small committees ac- complish more than large ones. He argred that the election of commit- tees would be no reflection on the speaker, and would at the same time do away with the opportunities tho present system offers for the use of the promise of committee place for support for speaker. * Mr. Orth offered as a subatitute that the house after or- ganization at the commencement of each congress shall elect eleven members, whose duty 1t will be to re- port to the house jownt standivg com- the latter to be selectod ‘in the order of length of service in con- tinue consul Mexico. goneral at the City of CAPITAL NOTES National Associated Preas.

In offering the substitute Mr. Orth contendedthe present system was a one-man power, a power always dangerous, and one which the American people will not accept.

Plattamouth Journal. John W. Munford, of South Bend, was in town to-day in search of his duughter Caroline, not yeot 15 yoars of age, und & young man nawmed Alphouso Darling, son of Dr. Darlivg. of that place, who had managed to elude the vigilance of the young ladys father aud escape beyound the bouuds of the old folks' coguizance. Mr. Munford told his story, atter much solicitation on the part of the reporter, as follows: Tihe girl had not yet attained her fifteenth year, but both she aud Dar- ling had for some four or five months beon badly smitten with each other's charms. ~ The Munford paronts had not opposed the blisstul dresms of the younyg couplo, except with the singlo objeciion that the girl was too youny. The mother of the young maiden had stated her positive refusal to both of them, and had cndeavored to roason with them, telling them to wait yet a httle until the girl was old enough to marry, and then if their affections stood the test of delay, she would consent. In spity of this, however, the youthful couple some time since concocted a scheme to run away and achieve the wish of their heart. Their scheme was de- tected and foiled by Mr. Munford, and the young girl was professedly very penitent, and promised to yield no more to the solicitations of her young and ardent lover. The father, however, placed but little taith in the E:rl'u seeming penitence, and had tely kept a strict and untiring watch over her every action, confiniug her at home, devermined not to allow her, if possible to prevent it, an opportu- nity to have anything to do with the young man, and forbidding the im- petuous Alphonso the house. Last evening the girl, in company with a little sister about six years of age, stepped out into the yard without even a hat, shawl or clouk. In a short time the little girl returned, saying that Caroline had sent her in with the promise to follow ‘‘ina minute,” Iu less than five minutes Mr. Munford, suspecting something amiss, went out and found that she was gone. Inguiry developed the fact that the gay Al- phonso was likewise gone, with a team and buggy. Since then nothing has been heard of the youthful pair, and owing to the frozen condition of the roads they could not be tracked. The young man was seen yosterday study- ing the map, no doubt planning his route. Mr. Munford has come to the conelusion that they have headed to- ward Missouri,and he has telegraphed along the liue to have tiem Witeroopi- ed. He says tho girl has slways here- tofore been a good girl and has borne a good name As it is, they will not be able, in all probability, to get a li- cense unless by perjury. Mr. Mun- ford says that it was & well planned and well executed manouver and they wero probably assisted by a sister of the young man. If they ride all the way to Missouri in a buygy this cold weather, their hymeneal ardor will be somewhat cooled. Prominent Tonnesseonn Drowned. Natioual Amocited Press.

And This Jury Must Never, No Never, Hang an Insane Man, Sooville Concludes To-day and Then Comes Torter WasHizGToN, January 17— Scovillo [ anwonnced Guitenu had o short ad dress upon his right to speak. Sco ville had read it and found nothing ob- joctionable in it No objection being raised, Scoville then read an addroess to the court, appealing to the court to charge the jury thatf they believe that ho behoved at the time of the shooting he was actiig undor special divine anthority they must acquit on the ground of transitory mania. Gui toau added that if auy one man on the jury was i doubt ou this and other points his speech published yestorday would probably settle him and ap pealed to the court to permit him to read to the jury. The court said it would take the matter in considera tion and Scovillo resumed his argu- went, Seovillo began by attacking the conduct ot Corkhill “in obtaining by falso pretonses » statoment from the prisouer, and described an scandalous the medical exports who oxamined Guitoau's mental condition several mouths after the shooting, and had no means of telling what was the state of his mind on July 2. Scoville eriti- cised sharpiy tho entire conrse of tho prosccution ws ungentlomanly. They had abused the witnesses for the de- fonse, but not attacked Dr. Spitzka’s fact or thoory, becauso they could not succossfully do 85, but sought to ever- come tho effect of his manly and scien- titic statement by polieo eourt meth- ode. They adopted the same course toward Dr. Kiernan Both of theso witnoeaos belioved the prisoner insane, and wore qualitied to pass anopinion upon the subject which could notbe controverted by misstatoment or ridi- culed. The prosecution objectod the defenso presenting the testimony of Detective McElfresh, the oflicer who rode with the prisoner to jail immediately after the shooting. The reason for the objection was Mckl- frosh's evidenco would show the cou- dition of the prisoner’s mind at the time of the shooting. The defense wanted to show insanity by Dr. De- Farland and the ill-shaped head by Clark Mills,but the prosecution object- od. A letter was read in evidence from Guiteau to Corkhill, but was mutilated and if the truth was kmown the pas- sage cut out was favorable to the pris- ouer. The prosecution’s witness, Reynolds, had “endeavored fo entrap the prisoner into statements injurious to his case, The prosecution also- ob- jected to the prisoner addressing the Jury in defeuse of himself. Scoville then appealed to the jury if this was fair treatment in the iater- eat of justice and whether it indicated a desire of the prosecution for a fair and impartial trial. Scoyille said he had heard enough of this nonsense about “fair play.” The reason for the extraordinary conduct of the prosecution was that the prisoner was insaue and they knew it, but did not want evidence of itto come before the ury. Scoville then argued to the jury that Guiteau was nsane, or else he would have put on his hat and left court, vather than stand his repoatod insults which he hed borne becauso he knew tho prisoner was insane With Porter’s address he was thrown all aback; his cloquenco was for a big fee and he had prostituted his talents tor money by sccopting afee to go to Washington to haug an insane man, If Guitoau should be hung because of the falso practices of Corkhill, con tinued Scovilte, Corklull would be haunted all lus life if he had a con- seience by a bluck wision of the hanging. Corkhill was now attempt- ing to ride the wave of popularigy, but would at lastfind himself stranded on popular comtempt. Seoville said Guiteau has been. in- sane siuce he reached his nineteeth yonr. Recess, Atter recess Guitoau said he had 1ecvived checks for 8£5,000, 860,000 and $75,000 and asked for more, Scoville resumed: Guiteau was hon- o8t in his belief that he was inspired and he pitied the human being who, with the light of the nineteenth cen- wary of christianity scowled at inspir- auon, Hcoville said the theological caroer of Guitean was simply that of » medium, He would not have been refused admission to an asylum by any onoe of the experts who had said he was sane. Guiteaw's political aspirations were also proof of the un- soundness of his mind, Scoville im- sisted his inordinate egotism was one of the chief characteristics of insanity and everything in Guiteau's career showed him to be possessed of that characteristic, but he was honess and sincere, with the gibbett staring him in the face. | his committing the act under the in- © dolusion, and he had come to tho conclusion that Garfield was the cause of the difficulty in the ropubli- can party. Tho same iden was inoul cated m hundreds of public jour- nals and men high in posmtion and nuthority satd the blame rested on the president. Therefore the jury could not visit the accused with the responsibility of organizing it. With such influences operating on a weak d, it could bo ungerstood that Guiteau was sincere in believing the romoval of the president would save the country from a great cilamity. Such an idea was consistent with his past lifo, Counsel sketehed the eondition of Guiteau's mind from the conception of the act to ita eonnnission, arguing that every circwinstance conneoted with it was evidenco of unsoundness of mind. Ho went on to enumerate instances where tsane peoplo had shown promeditation in committing homigide.

New Youws, January L6 —A very remarkable manifesto respecting the relation botween the City of Rome and the pope was published in Rome about a fortnight ago. It was so bold and cloar in its statements and carried with it such an air of authority that it was at once attributed to the pope himself. This has not u officially ~ denied nor confirmod but the better opinion is that the manifesto was writton or inspired by Cardinal Jacobini, papal secretary of state. A tranlation of the manifesto made in Rome for The Cathelic Re- view, of this city, was published to- day. The kernel of the whole: docu- ment, which is drawn up with great skill and is beyond (uestion one of the most important state papers of med- orn times, is to ba found in the follow- ing sontences: ‘“‘Italy will soon be obliged to give back to the pope his aceptre, to look out for anosher city where to fix the oapital, leavo the pope master of Rome, and como to an understanding with- the Holy Seo.
