WASHINGTON, December 2.-Im.
mediately upon the opening of the
Criminal Court Guiteau was placed in
the witness box. He glanced at the
papers a moment and then said:
II desire, Judge Porter, to state Ia
you and the Honorable Court that

have already been over"
Judge Porter Immediately resumed

Answer-"YeS, sir; with the modi-

Witness soon became excited and
insisted upon his inspiration, and that
the Lord had selected him to do the
work. He was no fool-the Lord
never selected fools to do His work
He had inspired him to remove Gar,
field, and left him (the witness) to use
his own judgment in selecting the
means, continuing excitedly; "And
the Lord has taken care of me. ]
have neither been shot nor hung"
Judge Porter-"And you did moi
expect to be2'
Answer--"I decline to discuss The
matter with you. l did not have any
thoughts on the subject. / left it al
to the Deity"
The witness refused to answer ques
tions, or, as he termed it, discuss
matters under inquiry" At one timt
he appealed to the court for protection
against the manner Of the cross exam
ination.
Judge Porter said: 81 have not at
tempted to force reply from you, Mr.
Guiteau. Ifyou will allow the jury t,
understand that you refuse to answer
it will suit:my purpose just as we'll"
The witness at once turned to Judg,
Porter and inquired: well, what wa
your question, Judge2"
Witness was then asked, if his en-
tering the Oneida Community wa
inspiration2 If his leaving i
was inspiration and declined to dis
cuss the subject. Judge Porter thel
produced Guiteau's book, Truth,
which the witness had claimed wa
the result of direct inspiration from

unwise for those English manufactur-

AN event great in its bearings and
results that are to follow, occurred
yesterday afternoon ninety miles west
of El Paso, Texas. The last spike
was driven to unite the Texas Pacific
and the Southern Pacific Railroads.
This joins the Huntington and Gould
systems. Business will be opened on
the first Of January, and sleeping cars
will run through from St. Louis to
San Francisco. Mr., Huutington's
road, however, will not stop at the
point Of junction, but will be pushed
on down the Rio Graude valley in the
direction Of San Antonio as rapidly as
possible. The Sunset route now runs
over one hundred miles west Of San
Antonio, and a large force
is engaged upon its extension.
When these two roads are united cars
will run through over an unbroken
line from San Francisco to New Or
leans. A heavy through travel will
prefer this line in winter as we'll as
summer, and the dream Of Southern
Pacific railroad will be realized. This
opens up new and almost unknown
country, much of it abounding
in rich mineral resources, much
of it adapted to agriculture and
still more to cattle and sheep raising.
The climate is delightful all the year
round, and offers many attractions to
the capitalist, the hardy farmer, the
skilful mechanic, and to those fond Of
adventure or bent on opening up new
avenues to successin life. It is a new
and enchanting world which will allure
its thousands. The stream of immigra-
tiOn which has been filling up the vast
Northwest for the last twenty-five
years, will now turn toward the South
west, and teeming populations will oc
cupy the wilderness; new cities will
spring up on the plains, and the roar
Of the forge will be heard on the
mountain side. 1t is not improbable
that new States will be
formed and that the center
Of population of this country
will be shifted far to the south of St.
Louis by the time the next census is
taken. Political changes, too, will
follow on the heels of material devel-
opment. The old South has passed
away already and a new South is born.
1t is new in its aspirations, hopes and
energies, aud yet loses nothing
of its noble and distinguish
ing qualities in moral and
social aspects. This is an era of
railroad building, and tho principll
field is in the South. Railroads bring
people, capital, new enterprises, and
varied industries. The map will soon
show network of railroads in the
South, embracing some of the most
splendid trunk linesin the world.
