GUITEAU'S S attorneys have notified the
district attorney at Washington of their
intention TO ask a postponement of the
trial to November q.
AN earnest effort will be made in the
senate to prevent the confirmation of ]

ton.
STRATHAM, democratic readiuster, has

postmaster at Lynchburg, Va. to succeed
straight republican named Wilson.
GEORGE G. MAYNARD, late manager of
the telephone company at Washington,
lent Guiteau the money with which he
bought the pistol to kill the president.
SENATOR HARRISON. of Indiana, handed
the president the resignation of James n.
Iyner, and the nomination Of Frank Hat
ton to be first assistant postmaster general
has been signed.
1t is charged that General Tyner's hunt
ing trips are made with the postmaster
of Laramie, Wyoming, to whom he al
lowed a salary of 50, 100 per annum, and
81 200 for clerk hire. The office paid less
than S4OO yearly in box rents and com
missions.
TYNER's appeals to the president for re
tentlon as assistant postmaster general
have failed 1t is possible that Frank
Hatton, of Burlington, will be nominated
to succeed him. Several western senators
are pushing Chauncev [. Filley, of St.
Louis, for the postmaster generalship, for
which he stands a fair chance on the re-
tirement of James.
THE president sent in the nominations
of Charles j. Folger for secretary of the
treasury, Thomas l.. James to be postmas-
ter general, and Frank HattoR to be first
assistant postmaster general. all of which
were confirmed. John l.. Beveridge was
named as sub-treasurer at Chicago, and
John s. Harris. of Louisiana, for survey
or general of Montana. Charles w. Sea
ton, of New York was confirmed az super
intendent of the census.
The trial of Guiteau has been post
poned to November IA. Mr. Scoyille in
timated that he would raise no question
as to the jurisdiction of the court. The
comptroller of the treasury has decided
that witnesses in the case living more
than one hundred miles outside of the
District, can not be paid by the govern
ment. A. S. Trude, Of Chicago, will not
accept charge of the defense unless he
learns that his pending engagements will
not interfere.

Degrees of Murder

A dramatic incident in Troy court
room illustrates a topic worth under
standing by those interested in the
criminal reports. King and Hamilton,
two convicts in Dannemora prison.
quarreled, soon after the shooting of
President Garfield, over the fitness of
Vice President Arthur to succeed to the
Presidency. King became so much
excited that, when at length Hamilton
made some strong remark adverse to
the Vice President. King struck him
upon the head with an axe, and then
struck a second blow. Hamilton was
killed on the spot. King was brought
to trial for the murder. About an hour
and a half only sufficed for the testi-
mony and arguments, and the jury
then retired to deliberate. They were
absent a considerable time, and at
length returned and asked the Judge to
give explanations of the difference ke1
tween first and second degrees of muir
der. This evinced, of course, that there
were members of the jury inclined to
pronounce the killing murder in the
second degree only. The punishment
of the first degree of murder is death;
of the second degree imprisonment for
life. Now the sentence under which
King was already imprisoned was to
imprisonment for life for a previous
murder. Therefore verdict of guilty
Of murder in the second degree would
have been Of slight importance to him;
it could, at utmost, only have destroyed
such hope as ne might have of receiv-
ing a pardon from his first sentence.
AS the judge was beginning to answer
the question of the jury, the prisoner
started to his feet and interposed IN this
extraordinary protest:
"Your Honor and gentlemen of the
jury, this was not murder IN the sec
ond degree. 1t was q deliberate and
premeditated murder I know I have
done wrong, that ought to confess the
truth. and that l ought to be hanged"
Here the prisoners counsel tried in vain
to silence him. 'No," continued King,
II have done wrong. 1t was my duty
to confess it. and / cannot help doing
so. / cannot keep still. plead guilty
to murder in the first degree. 1t was
fifteen minutes from the time [ struck
the first blow with the axe until struck
him the second time, and all this time
| kept thinking will finish this man.
If this is not premeditated murder,
what is? | have already killed two
men. What is my life to me? The
life of either Of these two men whom /
have killed is worth dozen of mine"
The judge, naturally enough, then
told the jury that after what the pris-
oner had said there was no necessity
for his explaining the distinction of
degrees. The jury retired again, but
soon returned, bringing the verdict Of
guilty of murder in the first degree,
and the prisoner was sentenced TO be
hanged on the 4th of November next.

Gen. Grant that he could have the NOM
ination of five brigadiers. Col. Gresham
was named as one of the five, and was
promptly confirmed. At once he was
placed In command of Il division. and
proved a success from that time to the
end of the war, and would have been
promoted to major general had there
been a vacancy.
His political history, in an active
way, since the war, was confined to a
race for congress in district with three
thousand democratic majority. Presi-
dent Grant offered him the collector
ship of New Orleans, but the odor of
Louisiana politics was not suited to his
taste, and he declined When a va
cancy occurred in the judgeship of this
district, he was appointed. to it. 1t can
be said of him that he had so deported
himself all his life that every honest
man IN the state is his friend, and
though he has been out of active poll
tics, | think he has greater personal
than any man in Indiana
