Republican caucus committee, Of the Vir-
ginia Legislature, called upon President
Arthur to-day in company with Represen-
tative Dezcndori, and u general inter
change OF opinion was had in regard to the
Senatorial contest in that State. The Pres
ident declined to take any part in the mat
ter or 10 express any opinion regard
ing the candidates. He said that II wls q
question for the legislature alone to deter.
mine, and that he had 80 informed the
friends OF Senator Malone as well as Re.
publicans who had called upon him In
that regard. He was always In favor Of
the election ot Republican on general prin-
Ciples, but the coalition formed In Virginia
had charge OF the State affairs there, and
he declined 10 take any part one way or the
other.

Republicans will give Malone somt

that President Arthur had committed him

the Republicans. Riddleberger claims L

WASHINGTON, December l0.-The coun'
try has days relief from the Guiteau trial
to-day, tho court having adjourned from
Friday to Monday, Interviewing the weeks
proceedings it can be said that they have
been Of q nature to create
very hostile local sentiment
against the prisoner. II Is generally
thought that the rebutting testimony has
completely reiuted the theory OF heredi-
tary insanity and gone far toward dispel-
ling the defense OF insanity ON any
grounds. The effect OF tho recent EVIL.
denCe on the prisoner and his counsel
and relatives Ia marked. Guiteau
himself Is In a chronic state OF ill.na.
tured excitement, and within q day
or two has oyerstepped all bounds Of
decenCy In his demonstrations, The audi.
ences have been showing more and more
open tokens Of disgust and indignation at
his antics, and some persons fear that II
the present feeling Is still further intensl.
fled by Guiteau's hateful exhibitions, there
may DO trouble In the court room.
The experts for the Government arc ex.
pected to begin their testimony on Tues.
day, and the greatest desire Is felt to hear
it, This line OF evidence will probably
occupy most or all OF next week,
and will, 1t Is thought, practically
end the case so far as witnesses are con
cerned, The closing arguments Of counsel,
the charge Of the Judge, and the delibera.

another week, bringing the case to the hol.
