WAsHIxGToN, D. O., October. 2l.-sco
vile, Guiteaus counsel, is causing somt
excitement in political circles because Of al
avowed intention to make the most Of thu
political aspects OF the assassination. HI
is reported as saying yesterday; "There il
more OF politics in the case than most peo
pldimagine, intend that Everything con
nected with the crime shall be developed
and II should have stalwart to help me
he might antagonize this course. II it is
necessary / shall not hesitate to bring out
the connection Of Conkling with the incep
ton ofthe crime. The stalwart sChism was
responsible for the matter and the blame
shall be placed where it belongs II can
secure that result"
In the District Criminal Court to-day
Justice Cox, in granting the motion OF SEQ
vile (Guiteau's COunseD for an allowance
to defray the expense Of bringing defen-
dants witnesses here, said: This court, us

Cox then reviewed the case OF Page VS..
Burnstein in detail, and after comparing it
with tho present case, said in conclusion,
that they differed one from another in the
points decided, and he was, therefore, OF
the opinion that the ruling OF tho Supreme
Court in the former was not decisive of
the question involved in the latter. lie

vile.
JURISDICTION IN GuITEAU's CASE.
Tie opinion Is very general here that
Judge Cox will decide that he has no
Jurisdiction. Richard Il. MerriCk, who
will argue this point for SCOvile, is quito
sure that there is no Jurisdiction, and says
that tho Circuit Court OF the District has
decided in that way in two similar cases.
Mr. Merrick also remarked that he could
not see how Judge Cox, as it has been
stated he intended to do, could have the
question Of jurisdiction disposed OF before
the trial OF the case commenced. "FOr"
said he, "the prisoner has pleaded not
guilty, us he had right to do and, aud
can not see how tho Judge can require him
to change tho issue thus made. 1t WIS II
mistake to arraign the prisoner il the Judge
was in doubt us to his Jurisdiction"
THE TREASURY INVESTIGATION.
The Democratic Senators comment freely
upon the action OF the Republicans in vot.
ing against calling for the testimony taken
by the Treasury investigating committee.
They think the Republicans made mis-.
take, and several Democratic Senators say
they will, II they can get an opportunity,
call public attention to the vote OF the Re-
publicans, and maintain that II was done
TO suppress the facts. The Democrats in
tend to make capital out Of 1t, II they can.
when the report comes In another mo-
tion calling for the testimony will be made
by the Democrats, and this, they say, will
give them IN opportunity to discuss the
matter and emphasize the points they wish
to make. 1t Is said that tile Assistant Sec
retary will accompany the report with q
written defense OF himself when 1t goes To
the Senate.
The vote in the Senate calling for the
Treasury report exCites considerable talk
in that department. The report itself is
claimed to be less sensational than some
expect. The evidence, II published, would
be interesting reading, but 1t Is not OF the
character Of legal proof. Some Of It is lit
tic more than the current gossip Of large
department. The other parts are Of more
damaging character.
