work OF the Grand Jury.

The grand jury finished its work and were
discharged on Wednesday afternoon last
The session was the shortest for some years
and its whole cost was 500. so, about 500 less
than usual The fees TO witnesses amounted
to but S94 The jury considered ffty-one
cases, examined 20 constables, Il volunteer
witnesses and county officials, who received
no compensation, 81 summoned witnesses,
and made II presentments. The present
ments are nearly all, we believe, for minor
offences. The jury also visited the Jail, and
in their report TO the Court, recommended
some repairs be made for the safe keeping of
the prisoners. The Court comphmented the
jury upon the promptness with which it dis
patched business, &c.

THE TRIAL OF GUITEAU.

The trial of this miserable fend COM
menced on Monday last in the Criminal
Court Of the District of Columbia. 1t is
more than likely that considerable time will
be consumed in the trial as it is evident that
the counsel for the defence will avail them
selves ofevery plea and technically of which
the case will admit, one of which will be the
jurisdiction of the Court. 1t is not clearly
settled whether the District Court has juris-
diction over the case, owing to the fact that
the victim of the assassin died outside of the
District in the State of New Jersey, and that
the Courts of that State only have jurisdic-
ton. 1t is thought that the programme
adopted by the counsel for Guiteau and
which is now gradually being developed'
will be to file a bill of exceptions to the
Court having Jurisdiction, and then try the
case, and allow the jury to bring in a YER
dict of guilty, and then appeal TO the Su-
preme Court to decide the question of juris-
diction. If the Court should decide that
the District Court has not jurisdiction, then
Guiteau will necessarialy be set free, for
according TO a well-known principle of law
a criminal cannot be tried twice for the
same offense This would preclude the
New Jersey Court from trying him. This
view of the case is very plausible, for should
it turn out before the Supreme Court that
the District Court really had no jurisdic-
ton, the Court will so decide even il it
should result in the prisoner being set at
liberty.
In striking contrast with the tardy action
of our Courts, and we will say to this case
particularly is the one which occurred some
seventy years ago, we mean that of Mr..
Spencer Perceval the Prime Minister OF
Great Britain, which was nearly a parallel
case to the assassination of Garfield. That
assassination occurred on the 18th of May,
1912. On the 18th the murderer was put ON
trial, and was found guilty. The following
Monday he was hanged This shows won
derful promptness as compared with the
slow and easy way of our Courts. In this
trial the counsel of the prisoner endeavored
to have him acquitted on the ground of in
sanity, but the jury refused peremptorily to
entertain that plea. 1t would be calamity
indeed if this programme of The counsel for
the defense should be carried out success
fully, for then it would result in Guteau be-
ing dealt with by a mob Of American citi-
zens, for il will be impossible for him TO live
after having been set free in the manner we
have described.
The brazen impudence and arrogance
with which Guiteau conducts himself in
Court, as well as the fimsy, incoherent piece
of sophistry called his defense, provoke
feelings of profound disgust.

Mr.. VIM. Daniel, President OF the State
Temperance Alliance, in an address before
that organization in Baltimore few days
ago, said: 1.-TWO of our opponents in Har-
ford county have been defeated, and there
was large vote cast in favor of local OPP
ton. Messrs Stump and Vandver-both
gentlemen opposed to local option--were the
candidates defeated. The people of llar-
ford did not do this by concerted action, but
individually, since a temperance Democrat
would not vote for either of these gentle
men. The progress of temperance is also
seen in Montgomery, Talbot and st. Mary's
counties, where Republicans endorsed by
the Alliance have been elected over Demo-
Gratis, although the counties always hereto
fore gave Democratic majorities."
So far as this particular county is concerned
local option was not an issue, although it
was no doubt used secretly by some to COW
er up their real motive of opposition to the
Democrats who were defeated
