Guiteau-Well, you see, doctor
Corkhill has corrupted the rest OF
them. Evil communications, YOU
know, corrupt good manners.
After recess DIR. Mcdonald again
took the stand. Guiteau, who had
Just taken a seat. looked over to the
jury and said: "These experts are
doing this business with good deal
OF parrot-like talk. DIR. Mcdonald
deyiated somewhat from the course
pursued by the rest of them. Ideem
1t but justice to myself to say did
not say to him 1 had examined the
law in relation to this matter"
Corkhlll then read the second n.y.
pothetical question, upon which
Gulteau commented IN PEASANT, with
such expressions as: "That is that
fellow Shaw's lie;" "That is all rub
bish;" cit is nobody's business where
| got the money" 81 did not kill
him, the doctors killed him." etc.
Witness answered, assuming the
facts set forth to be true, and add
ing that the statement to others
strengthens my opinion that the
man was sane on July I'd.
Exception to the question and
answer was noted by the defense.
Witness visited Guiteau in prison,
and examined him on the main Incl
dents of his life, including the
assassination, which the prisoner
called my inspiration" Witness
asked him why if the act was Gods,
he didn't leave the details to the
Almighty, and not practice with a
pistol. The prisoner flushed little
and said, "The Almighty often
leaves the details to his agents"
The prisoner said, regarding his fu-
ture plans, that while he wasn't in
sane, he had studied up insanity,
and believed the jury would find he
was legally insane, on July I'd, and
would acquit him; that he would go
to an insane asylum for a few
months, a commission of insanity
would pass on the case and find him
sane, Of course, and discharge him.
Witness believed Guiteau a per-
fectly sane man.
Washington, 27.-Reed proposed a
series of hypothetical questions
based on the acts and conduct of the
prisoner to show they would not be
consistent with the theory of in
sanity. The witness admitted that
insane persons were more liable to
be adjndged sane, than sane persons
to be adjudged insane.
ScoVille questioned the witness
relative to the symptoms and causes
of insanity. The witness stated that
insanity was the result of a diseased
brain, and was asked, care you not
confOunding cause and effect;
and cannot an unusual excitement
of the emotions of an excessive
worry and care and anxiety over
turn reason, and cause a disease of
the brain" The witness admitted
such might be the case with some
qualifications. That OverWork, care
and anxiety might produce dyspep-
STA, which, with other causes, might
lead to insanity, and that would
make necessarily a disease of the
brain, and disease of the brain
would at length turn into insanity.
Question-"Weli, now, is it not a
fact that you learn that the brain is
diseased from the evidence of I'M
soundneSs of mind ="
Answer-"From that and from
physical indications also"
Adjourned.

Po,tmastcr-G General James is a fortunate
man e. pecially fortunate is he III ms opportu-
mites. lie became Postmaster of the principal
city of the Union at a time when public feeling
demanded perfect civil service al least in the
postal branch Of the Government service and
he left that position With the cordial approba-
ton of all the people who, by the nature of
their relations to the postal service, were most
critical of him. This general recognition of
birn-and no mere Senatorial Endorsement
made Mr. james the chief of the Postal Depart
mcnt His first prominent action in his new
position has resulted in the exposure of frauds
amounting to sums which, if saved to the De-
partmcnt, would almost pay the average def
cheney which Congress has been forced to
supply for many years past.
Mr.. James has it just now in his power to IT.
lcyc this country of pest, and the postal ser
vice of a scandal. The Attorney General has re-
fcrrcd to him the question whether the
Louisiana Lottery Company shaAl be allowed to
Use the mails for their swindlng purposes. He
has the sole power to decide there is no appeal
from his decision and hc is simply to resolve
i'm his own mind whether or not the company is
q fraudulent one. Mr.. James knows that all
lotteries are swindles that Of necessity they are
fraudulent; that they are ~ form of gambling
especially devised to rob the multitude; that
necessarily they principally Cypress the poor and
Ignorant who form the multitude that they are
prohibited and suppressed, wherever possible by
the police of al large cities that this special COM
pany, the only one now having the privileges of
the mails, has been repudiated by It's own
State, in which it had fmudulently obtained a
charter (soe Act No. ~, General Assembly of
Louisiana. passed March Is, 1879, and APP
proved March p. 1879, and that in the case OF
foreign countries only the benighted Kingdom

of Spain, through its still more benighted colony
of Cuba, toIerates this form of fraud.
This Louisiana Lottery Company is the only
fraud of the kind recognized by the Postothce
Department at this time. All the rest have
been properly and deservedly excluded. This
swindle ought to be. By excluding it Postmas-
ter General James can break up the lottery
frauds in this country and give the monopoly of
swindle to Cuba. All he has to do is 10 say that
the postmasters and mail-carriers of this cOun-
try shall not act as agents of fraudulent lot
terry during his term Of Office. That ends it.
No successor will ever attempt to reverse his
decision, and he could not if no tried. Neither
morality nor civilization is crab-like in its
movements There is no other civilized coun-
try than America and Spain that tolerates this
form of swindle and ours is the only one nation
that aids and abets such frauds by prostituting
its postal system to their service. IL is blot
and shame upon us and it ought 10 be wiped
ont.

rs his course has been in the Commons, he has
been holder and more outspOken on the plat
form in Dublin, Tipperary and Cork. lie has
never ceased to speak cOntemptuously OF the
authority If the Crown, and to condemn as ty-
rannical the tremendous powers with which the
Executive was armed last February. COoperat-
ing heartily with Thomas Brennan, the secre-
tary of the League, he has multiplied the
branches of the organization and promOteu
their efficiency in various ways. IL Davitt mas
not virtually been replaced, 1t has been because
it was impossible to find a substitute for so e1-
perienced an organizer, but Dillon has labored
earnestly and effectively to extend the influence
of the League Suddenly he is made a prisoner
while on his way to Westminster, and warrant
is issued for the arrest of Brennan. AT the same
time the ordinary processes OF law are sus-
pended even in Dublin.
These aggressive measures prove that the
Government have been seriously alarmed by the
increase of agrarian crime in all quarters OF the
island The massage of the Coercion Acts has
been followed by wanton Outrages i'll the West
and South and by turbulence in the suburbs OF
Dublin. While those measures were before the
Commons the influence Of the League was
brought to bear upon the population so as to
repress disorder and enable the Home Rulers
TO reterate their plea that a suspension OF the
Constitution was unnecessary. Now that the
tactics of obstruction have failed and the
island is at the mercy of British garrison oil
thirty thousand soldiers, the control OF the
League is relaxed, and the evaporation ana
evil passions of the people find vent in seditious
meetings and deeds of violence. Tie Govern
ment have no choice. They must avail them
selves of the exceptional powers which have
been granted to them. With a strong arm they
must restore order. This they can do with
good grace, for the Land bill has taken from
coercion it's sting and reproach.

TTRTOL THROWING.

The bill to punish vitTiOl-throwers, which
has now passed both houses at Albany unani-
mOusly, supplies an actual need in our crimi-
nal jurisprudence. VitriOl-thrOwing, which can
easily be called the worst of imported French
fashions is an anomaly among crimes. IL is
not usually dangerous to life; at best it can
be described only as an assault; and vet 1t may
be committed in q spirit of ferOcity which
would seem horrible to murderer of reason
ably humane instincts, and it may infiict in
iuries beside which, especially in the case Of
women death might seem preferable. The re-
cent Long Island case is fair illustra-
ton.
A laborer who was refused by a young
woman of hir acquaintance determined
a. he aftcrward frankly said, "to spoil
" her face" that nobody else should
want to marry her, and he could be sure of
the prize. He provided himself with a bottle
Of yitriol and rubber glove, waylaid the
girl, threw her to the ground, and held
her there while he deliberately rubbed the
acid into her face, disfguring her for life
in a shocking manner. No suspicion has been
expressed that he was insane. The crime was
one which "a professional assassin would have
blushcd to commit, and yet the heaviest sem
tencc the law could bestow upon the wretch
was five years imprisonment for ian assault
with intent to do bodily HARM which is the
penalty prescribed by the statute furnishing
assaults with knife, dirk, dagger or other
sharp, dangerous weapon" The bill now
passed fixes a penalty of from two to ten
years imprisonment In the case just men
toned, the criminal probably saved five years
on his sentence by being a little beforehand
with his crime.

Dr. McCosh, Of Princeton College. has declined to
permit certain Of the students to 60 to Trenton 10
give q CLEO concert. Tho ground which the Doctor
is stated 10 have taken is that there too many
Hquor shops in Trenton 10 say nothing Of more OBJ
jectionable places Of resort. This would be suii-
cient especially as il is not long since several Of the
Princeton students were in the Trenton lookup
charged with disorderly conduct The learned Presi-
dent might also have taken another ground. These
students not in college for the purpose Of deyot
ing themselves to music; and giving concerts is no
part Of their present business What with boating
and base ball and glee singing. and other eXtraneous
diversions now engaging tho attention OF the
American student, thoro is danger that little
opportunity will be left for study, and that
the Greek, Latin and mathematics, with other
branches Of learning, will suffer from neg
lect. The valuable time consumed in these
athletic and harmonious pursuits is a consideration
but the distraction Of mind implied is still moro i'm
portant There is little need Of sending young men
to college at considerable expense, merely in order
that they may become pTotcIents in the use Of the
oar or Of the bat OF course there is nothing NOR
ally wrong in giving musical entertainments, but
such branch of human enterprise is not included IN
the college curriculum, and should not bo unduly
encouraged. especially when the cultivation Of il
involves absence from college. Dr. McCosh did
