Guiteau on the Oneida Community.

In the long -winded farago of stuff which
Guiteau wanted to be read at the opening Of
his trial occurs the following: My brother-in-
law, George Scoville, Esq, of Chicago, is
true and active friend, but I dissapprove Of
some of his movements in the case, notably
his mixing with "Oneida Noyes" For twenty
five years he was the curse Of my fathers life
and for six years lived under the despotisn
he welded in the Oneida community. lex
Iress my detestation of Noyes, and them. To-
day, John r. Moves, the founder of the Oneida
community is an American fugitive on British
soil Noyes is cold blooded scoundrel He
has debauched more young women, broken up
more respectable families and caused more
misery by his fanaticism than any man of his
age. Had Noyes had his dues, ne would have
been hung thirty years ago for crimes COM
mitted with his own flesh and blood, it would
have been godsend to great many decent
people if he had been. During my residence
in the Oneida community, 1, like the most of
the men in the concern, was practically aShak-
er. Noyes was the only man who had full
swing Of the females of the concern, and he
took them all in above ten years.

One of the Frequent Scenes Of the Guitea

Guiteau, who had just been brought in by the
officers, said:
VIII your honor allow me to address the
court moment? In spite of counsel have
rights here which should be recognized want
to state my position.
Judge Cox-You cannot be heard now. The
court is satisfied with your counsel
The prisoner-But am not l think it an
outrage to have incompetent counsel forced up
on me. Scoville is doing splendidly l most
distinctly appreciate his services. want
chance to defend myself, and there will be
row all the way through if l don't have it
All this time Guiteau was resisting the efforts
of the officers to make him take his seat, and
was talking in his usual jerky, disconnected
way. 81 am not satisfied with this business"
striking the table with his fist, 'tand 1 won't
have it,
Judge Cox tseverely)-If you do not keep 81
lence l will have you removed.
The prisoner-I do not care if you do. The
American people have something to say about
this matter. 1t is an outrage that should not
be heard in my own defense.

Shortly after Judge Cox took his seat Guiteau
was brought into court He was escorted by
three officers, who took seats between him and
the crowd. The prisoner is invariably led into
court handcuffed and the irons are removed
only when he has taken his seat

Messrs. Editors PLEASE allow me small
space in your paper omake few remarks.
tearing upon . portion Of The ticket which
democrats viii be called on to vote next
Tuesday.
You, in making mp the ticket, Il the printed
let in your paper il any criterion, have placed
upon II the names Of two geallemen, Judges
Daniel R. MAgruder and n. B. b. Chew. who
are not nominees Of he party, but like the
Hon. Jos. Wilson Of Calvert and John w.
Mitchell Of Charles are merely independents
Il dos seem that Justice should be meeted out
to all alike. Yet In her face and TO the dis
paragement Of Wilson sad Mitchell who have
many warm friends In this county and shonld
bseO-equal with Others, thay are excluded from
the ticket. Now suppose this matter Is not
corrected, and the time rolls around for an
other Judicial nomination, aud st. Mary 4
should have an aspirant, which Is likely,
could she hare the face % ask Calvert and
Charles support7 Isit not likely they would
resent our action to-day, and together hold
ing al equal number Of representatives as St.
MaFy's and Prince Georges combined, place
the gadicial district in the same category 81
now n the democracy ofOur county Is to die
In this judicial fight, let Il do 80 honOrably,
and not wage the war iniliatedat the UpPr
Marlborough Gesxention. Let rs not set the
example, siniiia similibHs eHTamfuS.
Messrs. Editors, you may have based youE
action IN fixing up the Judicial ticket, upon
he gFonEd that our eoansy Convention at ia
late meeting 70 nominate Legislative and local
candidates, accepted a resolution. &C we may
term Lt accepted receiving only twSnty-siz
easy votes ct o convention composed Of eighty
ls0), J recommending Judges Magruder and
Chew 10 the consideration OF conservatives.
say Jon may have assumed from its action,
that Magruder aud Chew were the eounty'l
choice, 6us certainly could 60 no further,
from the fi,et that, eVen had iE the power &C
recommend, ~ IL evidently had none q
nominate for the judicial District. Then Il
Il VERY claar thar Messrs. WiIson and Mitch
ell have as much right upon onr ticket as
Magruder and Chew.
Trusting, for the sake Of hartnony and cur

sary correction, am with great respect,

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 4, 1881.
Hon. William Dawson, Mayor of the City OF
ST. Paul.
DEAR SIR: 1t gives me pleasure to present
to you the following statement of the present
bonded debt of the city of Saint Paul, showing
the objects for which it was incurred, ma
turity, amounts drawing and rates col interest
named, the assessment (which is about hfty
per cent. of the cash value) upon the real ana
personal estate, and the total tax levy Tor the
year 1880, for State, county, city and school
purposes. Also the annual receipts (other
than taxes) and expenditures OF the city gov
eminent, which will probably be the basis for
the tax levy for 1881.
The city government has been economical IN
