Guiteau'S Trial.

CAN CASE OF MURDER BE MADE OUT HERE?
Attorney General MacVeagh yesterday tele-
graphed to SolicitOr-General Phillips to consult
with the District Attorney for the District Of
Columbia as to whether it would be necessary
that an inquest should be held upon the body
OF President Garfield in order to enable the
grand jury of the District to bring an indictment
against Guiteau. A consultation was Immediate
ly held between the solicitor-general and Dis
trict Attorney COrkhill and, as result of this
consultation, telegram was sent to the AttOr-
ney-General, informing him that though it was
not necessary that such an inquest should be
held. it might be well to have an inquest at
Long Branch as matter of caution. AS to the
question of a trial for murder in the District.
Col. C0rkhill has not yet expressed an opinion,
but is inclined to the belief that case OF MUIR
der could not be made out here.
Guiteau's Opinion About His Trial.
WILLING TO SUBMIT HIS CASE TO ANY FAIR COURT
AND JURY.
Guiteau, in an interview with one of the Off
GERS to-day. said all he desired was that he
should be safe from harm till the excitement
was over; that he knew that there must be ex-
element in the streets in consequence of the
death of the President.
After this dies away" said he, 81 will be
willing to submit my case to any fair court and
jury, and believe can have fair trial. The
officer asked: ''Will you have cOunsel?" and
Guiteau replied: "Oh yes; will have eminent
counsel" 'Who?" was asked; and he said he
''had not yet selected who. but it would be
some good man, and he would abide the result. :"
Ut is questionable as to fair trial, is it not?"
was asked, and Guiteau remarked:
''Well. the people will settle down after
awhile, and then there may be somewhat of a
reaction; at least, people will quiet down in
sentiment. and then there could be cam de-
liberate fair trial.
He then remarked that he was not relying on
any personal or political friends, but was simply
expecting that the passions of the people would
cool before he was brought to trial, and he
would then be satisfied with the result

and the county is threatened with a law
suit | think a payer ought to have
some redress. If hc pays taxes to have
the roads mended and if it is not done
he certainly ought to be paid for all dam
aye done to his property while travelling
,,ra: them. The present road system is
either \ bad law OF I much abused enc
Does net the law allow the roads i, ne
!nen,led between the months of Dtcen-
her and JuncH If SO, why is it not done ,
Our present Inspector says he has no au-
thorty over the roads between these
months.
If snch is the law. the sooner the law
is repealed the better; if such is not the
law. then say it is the fault Of the Com
misSionerS in not having our Inspector
better Informed. In travelling through
the 9th. Ith. and Sth districts, find that
the 7tl and 6th have their roads mended,
while the 9th 5 roads are not touched
with the exception Of one or two, and
one of them is mended by an 9Th district
man. Great credit is due to the Sth for
having their roads in such good condi-
ton. think they ought to be happy
people to possess such an Inspector. In
conclusion. | will say that the roads OF
the 9Th district are Il disgrace to the coun-
~ aud to our everlasting spector-i5aby

chusetts has prevailed-the Republicans
have Governor We a!lude to TenneS-
see. There, as in Virginia. the Dcmoc-
racy was split on the question OF paying
the State debt. The Republicans main
tanned that the debt should be paid in
full. The result will undoubtedly Justify
the prediction made in the New Orleans
Times. L staunch Democratic organ,
which says:
Il IS probable that Tennessee win soon
be a Republican State. The split i'll the
Democratic party on the debt question
permitted the election oi she present Re
publican Governor. and the outlook now
is that from this time onward the debt
pawn. faction will act with the Republi-
cans. The iepudiation faction has re-
fused tn accept the settlement Of the
debt made at the last session of the Leg
islature, and has announced Its intention
10 fight the settlement i'll the courts and
to make it an issue in politics. The debt
payers are struggling to make Tennessee
i great and prosperous State. They
want capital and immi grants to develop
the State $ agricultural and mineral re-
sources. These they cannot get as long
as the State refuses to pay her honest
debts. They will be forced. therefore. to
unite with the Republican party i'll order
to defeat the repudiati0nistS. That is
the situation i'll Tennessee. The debt
question is coming to the surface in Ar
kansas, and is dividing both the Demo
cratic and Repu ublican parties.
This is 4 plain and truthful and i'm
mensely suggestive statement of the sit
uation. not only in Louisiana, but in
other parts of the South. And the New
Orleans itntcs adds:
There are plenty Of men i'll the South
who vote the Democratic ticket who are
ready to Join the Republican party, or
any other palt ty that is pledged to redeem
the repudiating States from the disgrace
OF repudiation. Some of these men want
these repudiated obligations paid because
they think it is right that they should he
paid. The majority, however, Iavor the
payment Of them because they are inter
ested in having them paid. They under
stand. or are beginning to understand.
that repudiatiou keeps away immigrants
and capital and retards the prosperity Of
the repudiatinS States. The capitalists
of the North look upon the South as Il
rich field for investment. but they refuse
to invest Il dollar in the South Or in
Southern securities, because they have
doubts about getting their money back.
The thinking men of this State know
that the irepudiation act of the late con-
stitutional convention has injured this
State to the extent of millions of dollars.
We do not think we are mistaken when
we assert that there are thousands of
Democrats in the South ready to support
n debt paying party.
1t is as plain rs anything in politics
can be that the Republican party has
only 10 act on the hints contained in the
above unanSwerable statement of the
situation, to "split the solid South" by
acting on the principles that nave given
it supremacy in the North, by policy
of honesty, by appealing to the intelli-
gent self interest of the best Southern
men and by representing, in the South.
the only principles under which the South
can he redeemed and made to "hlossom
as the rose.
