some sort because some Bohemian, whose

sional invasion OF the White House, has
seen proper to start the scuscless rumor that
the editor of THE'NArloNAL REPUBLICAN
is q candidate for the Berlin mission. This
rumur is very absurd, and no one is more
surprised at it than the party to whom it is
aimed Perhaps it is not kind in US to
spoil this story which is so unctious to the

ssi that we seek no Office either at home or

SENATOR TELLER proposes to put the

the election outrage committee, to shame by
going ahead with the proposed inycstiga-
ton, despite all delays and obstacles, aud
making it thorough, satisfactory, and de-
cisive. The White Plume, of which we
have heard so much lately, may yet be
transferred to his cap. 1t certainly should
be seen floating high in the fore of this FRAY.
TT is well to remember that the cipher
dispatch transactions of the campaign OF
1876, in which the Republican managers
had a share have already been investigated
exposed, and explained. The fact that there
was so little Of significance in them to in

the further fact that nearly everybody has
forgotten all about them. Now let us in
vesiigate, expose, and explain, if possible

James PeytOn, one Of the accused, was placed
on the stand, and told his story. He said that
Lewis did the cutting, and afterward said, 81
stung the of a -; come on and We'll have
the opening argument to the jury after an
hours recess had been taken. He reviewed the
testimony, and claimed that capital Offense
had been made out against both men. Mr. A.
A. Lipscomb followed on behalf of Peyton in a
short speech, In which he complained of the
indecent haste' of the prosecution 10 bringing
the case to trial. At the close OF his address
the court decided to adjourn in preference to
moving into the other court room, as would
have been necessary, as no lights are provided
in the Criminal Court room. The jury were
taken to the National hotel. On reaching this
pace one OF the jurors, Mr. Bliss was taken
quite sick.
This morning Messrs. Pierce, Blankman, and
Washington made the closing arguments for
the prisoners, and the District Attorney fol.
lowed FOR the government.
