Dr.. FRANK II. HAMILTON, of New
York, was examined in the Guiteau
case the other day. His evidence was
unfavorable to the prisoner, bearing, as
it did, against the theory of insanity.
DR.. Worcester, of Salem, Mass, swore
that he did not believe the prisoner in
sane. He believed Guiteau was fully
responsible for all his acts. This wit
ness was quite positive, and his testi-
mony was very damaging to the assassin,
who was outrageously insolent and i'm
pudent. He accused the witness of
having accepted bride from the pros
ecution, denounced Scoville, Mrs. SEQ
vile, and Col. Corkhill, interrupted,
blasphemed, and made himself an un-
mitigated nuisance.

Safe Clothing.

There is probably no cloth
ing-maker anywhere in the
world that is entitled to be
relied on so completely for
the quality of everything that
enters into clothing as Oak
Hall. 1t would be in bad
taste, at least, for us to say
this, if we hadn't a particular
ly clear demonstration of the
fact.
In the first place we make
clothing enough SO that we
can afford to watch what
goes into ito know what
it is made of. Is it too much
to say that we do know
In the second place every
thing we sell is liable to come
back to us, if found wanting
in any quality it ought to
have-worse than that ; it is
aiable to come back if the
buyer has the least doubt
about the goodness of it.
Which is hardest to be-
lieve, that we make our cloth
ing safe, or that we take such
chances on anything but the
safest Of everything?

CoNKLINe To BE REBUKED.-The
last dispatches from Washington, on
Saturday, were to the effect that the
Republican Senators, favorable TO the
President and his administration, had
determined to force vote upon the
confirmation Of the appointment of
MIR. Robertson to the Collectorship of
the port of New York to-day Oh to-
morrow. It was also stated that
there was, but little doubt that the
President would triumph and that Mr..
Conkiing would receive a setback that
might prove disastrous to his future
political prospects. We believe tho
country viii give credit to Mr.. Garfield
for taking The stand he has against
the assumptions of the New York
Senator. Such thing was never
heard Of under the old Democratic
administrations. The Senat orshave
their right vote for or against the
confirmation Of an appointme mt blu
NO Democratic President ever recog
nized the right of Senator to con-
troll the appointments in his State fol
bis personal aggrandizement. This is
one Of the results of New Engla nd
Radicalism. They resorted TO the
policy Of trading and bArtering votes
In the Senate to defeat the appoint
ments Of President johnson. Since
then the political gamblers of the
Senate have made merchandise OF
their votes, and We fear have too
often been assisted by the votes OF
honest Democrats. Mr.. Conkling, no
doubt, hoped to secure number of
Democratic votes to assist him in re-
jecting Robertson, but it is doubtful
whether he could have asked these
votes had he not found Democrats
who were willing themselves to use
the same power over appointments in
their 6tates- Such power is not
enjoyed by the members of the House
Of Lords. 1t Is not in accordance with
our Republican forms and entirely adj
verse to the Democratic sentiment OF
the people. It will lead to combina-
tons that cannot fail to produce dis
sensions in parties. To be sure the
Democrats will receive no appoint
nents, and their party may enjoy the
oissension of the Republicans. But
the time may come when they will
have President handicapped in the
same way, If the precedent is assent
cd to.

TEE CITE of Troy, New York, is
still without police force, and sucl
guardianship Of public and private
property 40 the town may enjoy is pro-
vided BY the private subscriptions OF
citizens. The Board of Commission
ers-whieh 10 equally divided between
shs Republicans and tho Democrats
took its one hundred and ffty-second
ballot on Friday and then adjourned
without efiecting an organization.
Now, what happy thing it would
DO il we were 30 far advanced il
civilization 40 70 be enabled to do with
out police all the while. In many
country villages police constables have
next to nothing to do. 1t is only
when the community rises to the Dig
nifty Of q city that police force seems
J, TO become necessary. 1t is a little
singular too, how rapidly the doubling
Of the force 10 needed when once or
gan'zed. When Wilmington was a
uity Of eight thousand two police
officers were all that was necessary to
assist the Mayor to keep order. But
the stronger the city grew in popula
ton the greater increase in the ratio
Of her police force became necessary.
This was the case, TOO, with our near
3 neighbor, the city Of Chester. There
10 NO prospect of ever being able to
conduct the affairs Of city without
/ the aid Of police but it seems that
the city Of Troy is compelled to make
I o trial OF IL for short time. It ia Q
pity that such force cannot be dis
pensed with. It isone Of the penaltie,
that the community has to suffer as :
8 consequence Of the bad people tina
infest cities. The policeman's life
not . pleasant one. BE is but poorl
paid and he has hard duty to pei
firm. Yet 1t seems there are Away
plenty Of men to seek such positions.
