WASHINGTON, Oct 6-Th, publicstion
of Guiteau's biography in the New York
Herald to-day, occasiOned much unfavor-
able comment of the methods of Attorney
Corklil. The deception practiced upon
the prisoner is generally condemned as not
in the interests of justice. AS whole
the document is susceptible of proof as
genuine The words of Guiteau would
lead rather to fortify the plea of insanity.
Guiteau dictated the narrative under the
belief and with the understanding that it
should be published in pamphlet form for
his benefit, to raise money to go to the aid
of him in his defense, whereas it was sold
by the stenographer of the District Attor-
ney to enure to his own benefit.
The arraignment of Guiteau for trial
after indictment, is recorded, Will not oc

THE PEABODY FUND.

NEW York, Oct, THE trustees of the
Peabody educational fund began their
annual meeting yesterday-RobertC G. Win
throp, President of the board, in the chair
Ex-President Hayes was present. The
annual report spoke favorably of the ad-
vancement in educational matters in the
South, and reviewed at length the work
accomplished. Great and gratifying as
had been the progress both in public senti
ment and in the educational system, the
report said it must not be concluded that
free schools were established beyond the
possibility of repeal or obstruction. The
instruction of the board to apply the great
er portion of the income of the fund here
after to the education of teachers for pub
lie schools have met with general and
decided approval. The income distributed
since February /, 1881, amounted to $780,
375.
The Board of Trustees, Peabody fund
met to-day approved reports from the diff
ferent committees and adjourned until next
October. Anthony ]. Drexel, of Philiadel-
phia, accepted the place in the board made
vacant by the death of George w. Riggs

self I can possibly contribute as much
inufence as any other one man. say
this, not from egotism or vain glory,
but merely as deduction from plain and
political forces which have been at work
in the country for five years past, and
which have been significantly shown in the

it as one of the happiest circumstances
connected with this affair. that in allying
my political fortunes with yours, or rather

sonal and devoted friendship. / can but
regard it as somewhat remarkable that
two men of the same age, entering Con-
gress at the same time, influenced by the
same aims and cherishing the same am
bi,ions should never for single moment
in eighteen years close intimacy have had
a misunderstanding or GOODNESS, and that
our friendship has steadily grown with our
growth, and strengthened with our
strength. It is this fact which has lead me
to the conclusion embodied in this letter
for however much, my dear Garfield
might admire you as statesman, would
not enter your Cabinet if [ didn't believe
in you as man, and love you as friend.

CAUCUSSING.

WASHINGTON, Oct: 6.-The democratic
senators viii meet in conference at Senator
Pendletons residence tomorrow evening
to discuss the organization of the Senate.
Pendleton is chairman of the democratic
cancus, and he thinks that by to morrow
night at least thirty senators will be here.
While most of the democrats declare une-
quiyocably in favor OF electing a President
of the Senate before the swearing in of the
new senators, few hesitate and think the
step ought to be carefully considered be-
fore taking it. Some democrats say they
are in favor of electing the President and
Secretary before swearing in the new SEN
ators, but this does not seem to be the pre-
vailing sentiment. There are several dem
ocratie senators who privately admit that
they think the best policy would be to con
cede the President to the republicans, but
those who think thus realize that they will
antagonize the majority sentiment of their
party, and therefore are unwilling to be
publicly quoted as holding this opinion

IN CONFERENCE.

CHIcAGo, Oct. There was an angry
anu exciting scene in the Methodist con
ference at Sycamore yesterday when the
heV. j. Thomas was driven to it by the
persistent persecution conflict of some OF
ms prosecutors and made charges against
one OF them the Rev. DR.. Park6urst
The friends of the latter gentleman tried
to prevent DR.. Thomas from formally nre-
senting the charges, but Bishop
Wiley decided notwithstanding the
the technical objections raised that DR.
Ihomas prefer charges. The charges
are that DIR. Parkhurst, in an interview
with Chicago reporter, made statements
against DIR. Thomas which were willfn1ly
and maliciously false. The court before
which heresy charges against DIR. Thomas
are being heard, seems to be rather hostile
to the accused. At least they have so far
been adverse to him in nearly everv in
stance.
