the rule subject to mutilated United States
currency to discount, is unjust and should
be modified.
The Treasurer is more firmly of the con-
viction that the power now possessed by
National Banks of throwing up their circu-
lation at will, is wrong in principle, unneces-
sary and dangerous. The treasurer urges
that the salaries of the employees in his
office be increased.

The Counsel for the Defense Asks Tor
Papers.
The Qsestiea Of Jarisdictios Of The
District Court.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3. On the opening Oh
the criminal court this morning, motion
was made BY Leigh Robinson. one OF the
counsel in the Guiteau case, for the delivery
TO the property clerk of the District, certain
papers. etc, belonging to the prisoner. ne
specifed letters written by Guiteau at the
time or near the time of his arrest, news
paper scraps, letters found in possession Of
Byron Andrews, and other commuhications
from the prisoner. He desired them to De In
the hands of the property clerk, where the
counsel could have access to them. ihe
District Attorney stated that these things
were not the property, but evidence OF the
crime. and therefore belonged to him.
The court said he would examine the
statues and make such an order as might
seem necessary, but it seemed to him that the
counsel should have access to them. AT all
events, he thought that the property clerk
had nothing to do with them.
Robinson also applied for still more
time TO prepare for the trial, and stated the
diff culties in the way for the defense being
ready the 14th inst. Among other things he
said il had only been known that person
was to become a witness for the prisoner for
a clamor to be raised against him, and gen.
orally for the person himself. in manner
very disgraceful to him, to have letter pub
lished in order to set hlmseH right
in the community.
The court said he would conside- the sug-
gestion as to the postponement of the trial
still further, and would give it due weight.
Robinson also stated that he had been mis-
represented in the Washington papers on the
last occasion that he was before the court,
saying that he agreed with Scoville on the
question of jurisdiction. He had simply
stated that he was not to be considered as
committed on question which he had not
examined He did not consider himself as
precuded by anything that Scoville said. at
any time or in any branch of the defense from
availng himself of any thing on the part of
the defense that may seem proper. and that
might be in his power to make. The court
said that was perfectly understood. The
District Attorney said the prosecution so
understood.
