WASHINGTON.
Further Proceedings in the
Guiteau Trial.
superintendent Of the Ohio Insane
Asylum Says he is Sane.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December "a
DIR. Henry Stearns again took the
stand in the Guiteau trial this morn
ing. He stated that the faculty of
memory was generally the first to
show improvement in most all forms
Of insanity. Sometimes, however,
in insane cases the memory might be
unusually active and retentive.
Mr.. Scoville asked: Do you agree
with the last witness that insanity
is always awkward manifestations of
diseased brain2 "t
b Judge Porter objected to the form
of the question, and quite a war of
words ensued between counsel, in
which Guiteau took part.
Judge Cox interposed with few
smooth words. which conducted to
turn away the wrath, and the exam
ination proceeded for some time
without incident.
After recess DR.. Orpheus Evarts,
superintendent of the Insane Asylum
at College Hill, Ohio, was examined.
He believed that the prisoner was
sane, but did not think that he had
been feigning insanity in court.
The case was adjourned till Tues
day.
As the audience arose Guiteau
shouted: Tomorrow being Christ
mas, I wish the court and jury and
the American people happy Christ
mas. I am happy, and hope every
one else will be"

The hallowed day has come again. and
the earth is more full of love than hate,
more full of Joy than misery, more full of
pleasure than pain, because of its return.
| Therefore, the world welcomes the glad
Christmas Day.
Falling upon Sunday it lis doubly hal
lowed. Millions upon millions of happy
voices will to-day sing anthems of praise to
the Lowly Nazarine, and the old, old story
of his birth in manger in Bethlehem
eighteen hundred and eighty one years ago,
viii be told in its vividness and simplicity
in every town and city in the Christianized
world. Christmas can fever die so long as
the memory of Christ remains.
And who would have this hallowed day
put away and forgotten: As it approaches,
love and joy and happiness become conta-
gious, and every day and hour after prepara-
tons have begun to be made for its reception
the contagion spreads faster and farther, and
at last breaks into an epidemic of joyous
laughter, unbounded glec and the manifesto
tons of perfect human love. The contagion
attacks alike the young and old, the rich and
poor, the high and low, the good and bad
everybody has the malady, and nobody
wants or needs physician. It's marks are
III the bright faces of children--deep marks,
easily seen at glance /; in the faces of pretty
women and women rot so pretty; in the
faces of newly married men, those who will
soon be married, those who want to be, and
even in the faces of bachelors and sour,
erllsty old fellows like Mr.. Dickens says Old
Scrooge was. We have all got 1.-THE Christ
mas Malad y-from the little toddler to Old
Scrooge and we are glad of it,
Even the CHRONICLE has been attacked,
and if your readers will look closely (the
marks are not so easily seen in the face of

of joy and sood will may be found. We
are quite sure all Tue puys anu h.ioII L. sa-

Gen. Joseph E. Johnston has print
ed the following card in regard to
the late interview with him about the
appropriation of Confederate gold by
JEFF. Davis:
To the Editor of the Philadelphia
Press:
DEAR SIR: was greatly annoyed
by reading the article in your paper
of the 18th inst, headed, "Gen.
Johnston's Narrative" and signed
"F. A. B. " This article is evidently
based on a conversation which I
take to be an interview. In that
conversation, therefore, a good deal
was said which nothing could induce
me to say for publication, notably
whatrelates to the Confederate Treas
urer at Greensboro. Besides this the
narrative is inaccurate, so much so
that will not undertake to correct
it, and it contains letters, which not
only did not come from me, but
which have not been in my possess
sion for years. So beg you to pub
lish this to relieve me of the respon
sibihty for the narrative.
Most respectfully yours,
J. E. JOHNSTON.

Work is now going on finely at the South
ern Car Works, though not up to the full
capacity of the works, on account of the
lack of iron, the rolling mill being unable to
furnishiit rapidly enough. The works arc the
most extedsive of Knoxville's industries, and
are carried on in successful and systemat-
ic manner.
Seventeen new cars now stand in the
paint shop, and the wood work is ready for
about thirty more. The machinery used is
of the latest and most improved pattern,
and works admirably, and the company will
build any kind of a car which may be want
ed. 1t is an enterprise of which Knoxville
may well feel proud, and is the leading car
manufactory of the South The company
are receiving lumber at the rate of eight or

J. Abrams stabbed L. II. Dewort

eral wounds. He is fearfully, but
not mortally, injured, though his
condition is considered serious.
Both are lawyers. The affair grew
out OF old quarrel.
MERIDIAN, Mss, December pa
In the Vance case to day Charles
Hepgood corroborated the evidence
Of julius Jackson, colored, to tas
effect that Brown and Vance, negroes,
were in close consultation be hind q
house short time before the riot;
witness did not hear what was said;
he saw fifteen pistols among the neg
roes during the riot.
John Daniel, colored, testified that
he saw defendant with Bill Brown,
Bill Clark, and other negroes, near
where the riot occurred; soon after
wards the riot commenced; he
saw Boswell and Brown, colored,
and Alex. Harvey close together
seooting at one another Harveys
shots did not seem to have any effect
on Brown, who ran off. The witness
saw Elias Brown afterwards stop and
fire at somebody; the smoke was
dense Elias cried out as he ran off
II got him
Isaac Brown (white) testified that
he saw Joseph Barnet embroiled
with a negro, and went with Segars
boys, to prevent his shooting
hlm. The negro had his pistol
drawn Barnett had been drinking
little, and witness wanted to get
him away. Barnett was iocose
rather than insulting during the
morning. When drinking, he was
always in a good humor and was
never beigerent. Witness kept with
Barnett, and the negro turned on
Segars, who had his pistol drawn,
and shot at him, when they clinched
and shot at each other four or five
times, Segars held his pistol
against the negro side, but the shot
had no effect. The witness thought
it strange that the negro was not
killed. When Segars and the negro
commenced firing at him negro
named Frank Johnson stepped up to
Barnett and putting a pistol to his
breast shot him dead. The witness
looked around and seeing that all
the whites had been killed thought
he would get out of the way
himself. When leaving the negro
shot twice and the bullets
flew by him, but he did not know
whether they were fired at him or
not. Witness had a pistol at the
time.
Charles Page (white)-Saw de
fendant come to Marion that morn-
ing with about twenty negroes. Just
before the riot he saw large crowds
Of negroes in the street, forty
or fifty of them had pistols drawn.
he saw nopistols among
the whites. Witness could
not see the shooting, as house OBJ
structed his view.
: Melley Brook, clerk in the employ
of JAS Baum, of Meridian, was sworn,
and testified that ON October 22d he
sold the defendant Smith and Wes-
ton revolver, and charged the same
to his father, Ed. Vance; a few days
later he sold one to John Vance.
Pending motion to allow the
prisoner bail on account of ill-health
the court was adjourned.

Mr.. WATTERsoN, editor of the Cour-
ier-Journal, has heen listening to the
Guiteau trial in Washington and
comes to the following conclusion:
He that pleads his own case has a
fool for a client. 1t would be strange
if man like Guiteau proved an eX-
ception to the rule. Hence [ think
that Judge Cox and Mr.. Corkhill
have been wise in giving him all the
rope he wants. He will surely hang
himself, and when he has done so
the result will vindicate the conduct
OF the case by the court and the
prosecution. What else could they
do? They could not proceed with
out the presence of the accused. 1t
would not have been prudent to use
violence, such as gagging and bind
lng him. He could not be commit
ted for centempt. So. seeing his
utter depravity and shameless effront-
cry and resolute determination to
play the part he had marked out for
himself, and was it not the part of
good policy, no less than of the ex-
cepIonal necessities of the case, to
leave him alone? This, at least, was
my conclusion as [ sat and looked on
beholding in Judge Cox a most in
teligent and dignifed presiding jur-
jst. and in Mr. COrkbill sufficiently
aggressive and expert prosecutor.
