Mrs. Scoville and one or two persons visited
Guiteau in the jail Saturday last. While they
were there q lady and gentleman, the former
accompanied by a little girl, entered the door
At first Guiteau appeared oblivious OF their
presence, but, raising his eyes suddenly, they
fell upon the face Of the lady, who, to his sur
prise, proved to be Mrs. Anna Dunmire, his
divorced wife, together with her husband and
their little daughter. This unexpected visit
rather unstrung the prisoner. and for an in
slant he hung his head, but. Frightening sud
denly, he walked forward. took the lady's
hand, and said he was pleased to see her. The
lady was visibly affected and tears welled up
in her eyes, overlooking the lids and rolled
down her cheeks as she said "Charlie, lam
sorry to see you in this condition.
'sOh, never mind that" said the prisoner,
calmly. Il am sorry that the whelp (evident-
ly referring to District-Attorney Corkhiln
brought you here But he was disappointed
in his purpose. I did nothing, you see, to
embarrass you"
II have called to say goodbye, Charlie"
Mrs. Dunmire said evidently DESTROYS of end
ing the interview, "for may never see You
again, and then, weeping she held out her
hand to the prisoner, as if to say farewell.
Guiteau was not satisfied, however, to stop
the interview there and, as if to prolong it,
turned toward the lady's little girl and asked
how old she was, adding, as peculiar look
passed over his face and his thin lips twitched
ncrvously: "Anna. can wish you no harm.
hope your life may be prosperous and
happy 49,. ,.,o
tor all that time, then walked over to Guiteau
and said "Guteau, / must bid you farewell,
also. We may never meet again" Guiteau
took the profered hand, but turned his head
away, and it was evident that he was i'm
pressed with the truth of his visitors remarks
Without waiting for Guiteau to reply, Mr..
Dunmire added, I'VE say goodbye now, for
hope we will be off to Leadyille again by
Monday. It's too close around here for me"
ut is too close hereabouts for me also" broke
in the prisoner with CHASTITY smile. Il wish
was laborer out at Leadville." The Dun
mires then departed Guiteau shortly after
ward went back to his cell, announcing that
he would be positively engaged for the rest of
the day.

The friends of temperance reform in Vir-
ginia held State Local Convention in
Charlottesville last Tuesday. The call for
the Convention was signed by representa-
tive men of all professions and callings in
the State. among whom are many men who
have been and are prominent 10 public life.
This, we think, may be regarded as the
first important step towards the general
and active agitation of this subject. We
look for a very exciting campaign in Vir-
ginia, before another legislative election. in
which Local Option will be the central
matter of discussion. There is growing
interest on the subject and deep under
current, reaching all over the State, is NOV
ing men and communities. The politicians
will have to look into the matter, for it is
an aggressive and energetic question.

We suggest that GoRernor-elect Cam

a note OF thanks to Senator Ben. Hill for
eIecting them to their respective positions.
Had Senator Hill kept quiet, and not made
the Onslaught upon Gen. Malone he did at
the extra session of the Senate last Spring,
the probability is Gen. Malone would not
have spoken during the session. Certainly
i,e would not have drawn the sympathy of the

The committee Of investigation, APP
pointed to examine into the alleged piscon-
duct of the Ninth Massachusetts, Reg iment,
whilst in Richmond, en- route to Yorktown,
has made its report. They found that Of
fences cited, such as ntoxication, disobe-
dence to orders and unsoldierly and UNI
gentlemanly conduct, were true against
twenty members of the regiment, but that
according to the testimony the more serious
charges. such as insulting ladies', &c. we're
not substantiated. Orders were issued by
the Command er-in-Chief of the militia
for asnmmary dismissal OF the offen-
ders, and the regiment w&s directed not to
appear in uniform until spring.

A lively debate occurred in the Senate last
week. Senator Hoar offered resolution to
appoint special committee on woman's suf-
ffage. and spoke In advocacy OF the resolu-
ton. He was opposed by Senator Vest, who
made very humorous speech in which he
proposed to refer the matter to the committee
on Revolutionary Claims, which committee he
declared had had nothing to do for some time,
and he was fully persuaded that delegation
of strong minded women would thoroughly
arouse them from their undisturbed rest

While the work Of cutting of the heads
OF Democratic Office holders about the cap
atal building is going on, the correspondents
OF Democratic papers are setting up ter
rible howl about it. What did they think
and say six years ago when the Democratic
party got control of the organization OF
Congress? They demanded nearly every
Office for partizans of that party, and got
them. It is poor rule that won't work
both ways.

President Arthur. as be progresses with his
administration, inspires the confidence of the
whole country. Not.even his political oppo-
aents have occasion to find fault. His long ex-
perience with public men, his comprehensive

purpose to administer the government in the
interest of the whole people, fortify him in the
great work before hifn, and give assurance
that wisdom, sagacity and conservatism will
be manifested in every act ana measure.

The Trial of Guiteau.

Continues to attract large crowd to the Court
House where it is now in progress. During
the past week some very damaging testi-
mony has been given. A number of experts
were examined, and with one exception they
agreed in pronouncing the assassin sane and
responsible for his dastardly act. Mrs. Dun
mire, Guiteau's former wife, was put on the
stand and gave the prisoner bad character
generally. Guiteau had made number OF
threats as to what he intended to do if Mrs.
Dunmire was called to testify, but it was OBJ
served that he was unusually genteel while
the lady was being examined. This unex-
pected department was afterwards explained
by the fact that the husband of the witness,
who resided in Colorado, had accompanied
his wife to Washington, and had sent Mr..
Dunmire on the stand, he Dunmirel would
shoot him dead This bit of information be-
ing conveyed to the assassin, had the effect of
closing his mouth, so far as insults were con-
cerned
1t is believed that the trial will be prolonged
until New Year. Should the jury find the
prisoner guilty, the exceptions which have
been noted by the counsel will be heard at the
General Term, and if the Court below has
erred in its rulings, a new trial will be ordered.
The question of Jurisdiction has not yet been
raised, and 1t is said that, in the event of the
conviction of the prisoner, writ of habeas
corpus will be sued out, with the expectation
of having this question passed upon by the
Supreme Coult of the United States
The wife of one of the jurors died on Sun
day, in consequence of which the case was
continued until yesterday.

The Lynchburg Adoance ought to know
that the VIRGINIAN has never written
wol d in favor Of the Riddleberger bill, as 8
measure Of settlement OF the debt OF the
state. In discussing the Issues OF the cail-
vass, we expressly ignored this. after the
Republicans failed to bring ont ticket, but
male prominent the other ques tons at is
sue, on which Republicans and Re-adins-
tiers agreed, and on which the Democrats
antagonized both. The pretense of debt
paying by the Democrats and the practical
fact of not paying. was as far from our
views of what a State ought to do, as is pre-
septed in the Riddleberger bill. The intelli-
gent reader needs no reminder that the
Democratic party opposed the act of re-
sumption and did all it could to thwart it.
The platform Of that party, in 1876,
adopted at St. Louis, demanded the repeal
of the resumpt ion act, and the Weaver res
olutions, introduced in the last Congress at
the close of the session, as GreeDback
measure, were supported by majority of
the Democratic members Of Congress But
1t is not necessary TO cite particulars. Inc
history of the Democratic party shows that
it mouths debt-pay ing and honor vocifer-
ously, but always votes against making
provisions for debt pay ing and maintaining
honor-as though debts could be paid with
out money and revenues raised without tax
alton. Upon debt-paying platform-in
its true sense-and not the doubling pro-
cess of the platform of this year-and a
declaration in favor of repeating the CAPT
tation tax restriction on suffrage, would
have made success probable thing for the
Democrats in November last. But neither
of these propositions would the party adopt
and support. 1t preferred to trfie with the
debt question, and violate public faith as to
the ballot. and in doing SO invited and re-
allied its own ruin.
