Guitcau,s Defense.

Ex-Judge George w. Curtis, who is now
in New York, denies that he had offered to
defend the assassin Guitcau, but says he
was asked the question by friend of the
family. ado you dare defend Guiteau ?"
and his answer was II dare defend any
body He has not seen Nh. Scoville, and
has not been retained. In regard to the
case he says: "He should be fairly tried
under the law, and if the evidence estab-
fishes his insanity, he should be confined
for life, securely, where he could injure no
one. OF course, IL the attempt to establish
his insanity is unsuccessful, he should re-
ceivc the full punishment meted out by
law. A fair trial of this assassin in the
present excited state of public feeling would
be more successful test of the value and
permanence of American institutions than
any other which can be conceived"

There IS trouble in the Indian Territory,
and as usual it appears TO have grown ont
oil the manly contempt of white men for
their own laws. They gave the Indian
Nations supreme authority over their own
territory, and having done so they set
about to devise ways and means Of unset.
ting that authority. II being forbidden to
white men to settle in Indian Territory.
they naturally lopged to so there, and at
last they have gone there in sucn numbers
that the Indians have become alarmed.
The Indians. to protect themselves from
this kind of invasion. passed laws or orii.
nances imposing taxes or licenses upon
white settlers within their Territory.
There seems to be difference of opinion
as to their authority to do this, but Con.
gress appears to hold that they were within
their rights in the matter. The white set
tiers, or some OF them, refused TO pay the
tax, or to leave. and SO an irrepressible
conflict has grown up. The obvious moral
of the effair is that white men ought TO
be made TO obey their own laws in regard
