WASHINGTON NOTES.

During the fiscal year ending the 30th
of June, 1881, the receipts from internal rev.
enue in the United ates were $l35, 229, 902,
and the receipts for the past five years were
S6O2,3l0,Is7. The entire sum was paid into
the treasury without any loss by defalcation or
otherwise.
Guiteau's petition to be admitted to
bail. says a Washington dispatch, is in some
respects one of the most remarkable documents
that has ever been drawn up for the considers
ton Of a court of justice. 1t is now in the pos
session of District Attorney Corkhill, in whom
Guiteau has the most implicit confidence, and
to whom he intrusts all his secrets, il man
who talks go freely and unreservedly can be
said to have any secrets. Guiteau is undoubt-
edly becoming anxious to escape the penalty
of his crime. 1t is apparent that he has had
enough Of imprisonment, and that he has
made up hi, mind he will seek to escape the
penalty of the law by plea of insanity.
His petition to be admitted to bin il
drawn in legal form, although there is
much in it that no lawyer would care to in
sert, while there is much also that a cunning
nlhL- WHO is ucUtIiniuou W iciSu hl5uuiIy, VI d
man really insane, would make part of his
application. Should lawyer be appointed to
conduct Guiteaus case, this application will
unquestionably be used as evidence of
insanity. Gufteau, in asking for release on
bail, expresses great sorrow that the
President has suffered so much and
80 long from the wound he inflicted.
He asks his release because he fears that con-
finement will make him insane. He repels with
scorn tho idea that he is now insane, or that
be was insane when he conceived or committed
the crime He insists strongly that he is now
sane, but he says that he feels 1.-THE nimbus
OF insanity playing around his brain" He
then goes on to recite some facts that indicate
that there is insanity IN his fathers family.
He announces that he proposes TO make his
own defense, with competent legal assistance
Guiteau wants his temporary release, not only
that he may escape impending, insanity, but
that he may take trip to Europe, where he
wishes TO remain month or two.

Together with Jules Sandeau she set TO work.
They labOred hard and fast; with her energy and
perseverance she knew no fatigue; tier example

bred francs for the work.
IL is the old story So often repeated: they wanted
bread and they wrote "a book.
Meanwhile the young authoreSs Sought legal
separation from her husband, aud Tor TINS purpose
was compelled 10 revisit Bern. Before departing
she arranged with her literary partner the plot of
new novel, a certain portion OF which he was To
have finished by her return. Jules Sandcau, now
ever, neglected this; and perhaps IT was just ~
well that he did for when she returned She pro
duced the story complete. IL was called Indiana"
However, it lay by for some time. " Rose

au hors auticipated but by and by the volume fell
into the hands of publisher who, liking the style,
sought out Jules Sandeau IN his garnet. From him
he learned that Madame Dudevagt HAD written
half the book, and had, moreover. manuscript
novel lying 10y, which offered him. ms the
publisher accepted. She declared it shonld be- pub

And so the name destined to become one of the
