The Trial of Gnitenn.

We have rejected n number Of commu-
nications and suggestions in relation TO
the crime of Guiteau and the jurisdiction
under which he must be tried. We do
not think it is worth while to proceed
upon the assumption that the proceedings
are TO be directed TO finding out how not
to do it, If there is any old, musty, de-
cayed law which centuries ago the judges
of England devised to stand between the
fury Of the then semi-civilized people
around them and the selected victims of
their wrath, IL is a good time for It to be
sunk in oblivion, as wholly unworthy of
our day. If Abel had passed the bounda-
ries of Paradise before God called Cain
to accountfor his blood the latter would
none the less been branded as a MUIR
derer Let us dismiss all fears that our
court here will, under any rule that ever
prevailed in England, charge a jury that
Guitcau did not kill the President, or that
his murdorousact lacked anything of COM
plotion on his part when he had fred the
shot which took effect Every pain suf-
fercd and every step of progress made to-
ward death from that moment was by the
act of Guiteau Let us have no fears that
an indictment found against him will be
quashed. Let MS trust much to the
legality of common sense and the COM
mon sense of the law. If there should be
found any lack of law, then the time
would have arrived for measures of pub
lie safety.
And supposing the Indictment to be
held as good, as no one seriously doubts
II will be, we imagine, let no fears pos
sess any one that lawyers for the pris-
oner can utilize the autopsy quarrel TO
prove that the President died of his treat
ment instead of by Guiteau's shot No. Let
every good citizen keep his mind clear of
all bias on this subject, as well as on the
question OF insanity, which would pre-.
vent him from giving due weight to evil
dence, and then, should he be called in rs
a juror, let him give Guiteau rs fair trial
as Cain had. The problem is not, How can
cobweb theories be spun to clear this hell
hound? but the question is, Did Guiteau
with malice aforethought give the Presi-
dent his death wound while ofsane mind?
The jury must consist of men who believe
him guilty, because no man believes him
innocent. Guitcau must have all the
witnesses he can produce, and be regu-
larly tried If his counsel desires to have
his execution orderly and lawful, let him
avoid any effort to cheat justice upon q
frivolous and exploded paradox concern
ing jurisdiction.
Since writing the above we learn from
the District Attorney that there is no
doubt in his mind as to the question of
jurisdiction, and it is fair to presume that
he has fortified himself in every possible
manner. The indictment will be had
Monday, and the trial probably proceed
on Tuesday. The law should have entire
sway. The result cannot be doubted.

Virginia.

An occasional snivel is observable in
some of the Democratic journals at the
wickedness which characterizes the Vir.
ginia campaign. In the first place the
awful crime Of repudiation does so alarm
the Democrats for the future welfare Of
the Republican party. The Democratic
party always was dreadfully afraid the
Republicans would make some fatal
blundcr. They are dcbt-puyers. If they
never pay they are proud TO owe, and
they would rather owe their creditors
forever than to cheat them out of it.
Jeremy Diddlor and wilkins Micawber
were such dcbt.paycrs The poor igno-
rant Readiusters are more practical.
They will pay all they can raise above
expenses, and every six months pay in
terest on the debt they claim they really
owe Every Virginia bondholdor will be
benefited by the Readjuster victory in
November.
But besides the miserable cant about
reputation, for which there is no founda-
tion, the Bourbon North has another sor-
row connected with Virginia politics
That is the fear that the Republican party
has dsbanded. If there is any one grief
which the Bourbons outside of Virginia,
as well as those of that State, sincerely
feel it is the disappearance of the Repub-
ican party from the present canvass.
The old cry Of carpet-bagger and
niger" cannot now prevail The head
"scalawag" is on the Bourbon side, the
boss carpet-baggers arc with him, but
silent, and the negroes and the body of
the white Republicans arc following the
lead of white Virginia confederates in q
crusade against the old Bourbon party.
Surely the world moves.
There is another woe which weighs
heavily upon the Bourbon brethren of
the North, and that is the outrageous con-
duct of the Republican State committee
in actually endeavoring to raise money
for the campaign. The New York city
organ Of Samuel ]. Tilden grieves over
this and refuses 10 be comforted. 1t must
be admitted that such nefarious conduct
is most shocking to party brought up
under the pious example of Tweed and
Tilden and engineered by William H.
Barnum, the late Senator from Connccti-
cut. The Tilden editor prints the evil
dence of our shame in the form of cir
eular signed by the chairman of the ex-
icutive committee, and actually request
ng small contributions of funds. This
Iwful exposure will have a tendency to
lose many Bourbon-Funder votes to Cam
eron, and may even drive them over to
Daniel. If the circular had not been is
sued the Bourbons would nearly all have
voted against theirtickct. The revival of
partisan feeling in Virginia under the dis
position of the Republicans to pass around
the plate is one of the very worst signs
of the times. 1t will reduce Cameron's
majority TO 10000.

When Mr.. Carl Schurz was Secretary of

no employee should be permitted to le.sf Ho'

lunch. 1t was permissi;.sidad;i .sidd Ga = zach one

Scslpetent caterer, Ns all know, enjoyed
the prir'ilege of the Interior Department
for his business. To what extent his
business was allowed to suffer by compe-
tition we do not know. There was joke
quite common at the time that Mr., Schurz
and Mr.. Freund had entered into sort
of pic-refOrm business. OF course this
was only joke. The order has not been

Burcaucrat, and the hungry clerks must

There are other regulations prevailing
in some ofthe Departments so tyrannical,
insulting to manhood and womanhood,
and unnecessary that We feel inclined to
cry out for reform. For instance, no
employee is allowed to utter n word to
any other employee from nine n. m. to
four p. m., except ON official business.
Nor is any one allowed to see any visitor
except upon application to a superior. 1t
is admitted that discipline must he strict
where so many are employed and that
gossiping between employees or with
visitors would be wrong upon the Gov
ernment; but there is no need of regu-
lating worthy and respectable people as
though they were knaves and criminals
in prison. 1t is evident that the prison.
like discipline in the Department can be
ameliorated without detrimcnt to the
service,

very very good but let no Republican
imagine that it is about to merge itself in

business at the old stand, and, as our evil

publican party continues its partisan
opposition to it. Even the present gloom
does not render it necessary that the

Ohio, Virginia, or New York. Better that

that our native confederate friends in
Virginia should be borne down, and bet
Ter that we be called partisan than that
