Guitean's Imprisonment.

CRITICIsING THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS COURSE
Among the members Uf the District bar there
is some unfavorable comment on the action of
District Attorney Corkhill in regard to the case
of Guiteau. the assassin. 1t is asserted that the
| course of the District Attorney is entirely with
| out precedent as regards the imprisonment; that
| under the law the warden of the Jail is no more
responsible to the District Attorney than he is
to any other good citizen, his immediate supe-
riOr being the Chief Justice. The theory of the
law is that a man is innocent until found guilty.
and it is maintained by the cayillers that the
warden is not authorized to do aught else than
to keep Guiteau just as he keeps any other prs-
Oner.
THE PUNISHMENT GUITEAU IS LIABLE TO
if the President RECEIVERS is defined in sec. $780,
revised statutes, relating to the District, which
says" Everyperson convicted of mansaughter
or of any assault with intent to kill shall be SEN
fenced to safe Imprisonment and labor for the
first offence not less than two nor more than
eight years. and for the second offence for a
period of not less than six nor more than fifteen
years.
The prisoner has been since his arrest isolated
from the other prisoners and officers as much as
possible heing in corridor from which all other
prisoners had been removed. and in full view of
the officers in the rOtunda OF the building The
orders prior to Col. COrkhils request to keep the
prisoner secluded, was just as strict as after
NdTuS. lOF no O11lcerS whose duty does not call
them in the wing of the building in which he is
confined are allowed in that wing at all. and
those on duty in that wing are prohibited from
holding any conversation with him save as to
keeping his cell tidy, &c.
GUITEAU WANTS TO SEE THE PAPERS
Guitcau is very desirous of reading the daily
papers, but access to them has been denied him.
and he also is desrous of the privilege of order
ing his meals from the outside but ne does not
indicate who he would send to should any such
privilege be granted to him. 1t is not known that
he has any money. and it is surmised that he
only wishes to add to his many financial victims
He continues to spend much of his time in read
ing the Bible, and seems to be engaged in writ
ing what is
SUPPOSED TO BE HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY,
and at times he takes notes from his Bible and
carefully puts the papers within the leaves.
Some are under the impression that he is pre-
pairing speech to make in his defence when he
will be arraigned. and that he is interlardng it
with scripture quotations.
GUITEAU GETTING FAT.
The Jail diet does not seem to disagree with
him, for he is to-day looking stronger and more
tieshy then, when he was committed.

Steady Progress Toward Recovery.
4 Comfortable Night Followed BY a Good Day.

The President passed very good night. He
slept more continuously than heretofore:
III fact. from one to five o'clock he
slept without break. There was no
fever during the night. This morning
the President expressed desire for more solid
food than has been given him the past two days.
The physicians did not grant all the President's s
request. but allowed him piece of chicken.
which he apparently enjoyed very much. In
addition to the chicken he ate piece of toast.
with the juice of steak squeezed over it, and
some milk with little old rum. He was more
cheerful than usual this morning, and was al
lowed to talk without much restraint to Mrs.
Garfield and the others who were in the room

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE surgeons this
morning, after examining the President, asked
him to choose his own breakfast. lie ordered
lamb chops and breakfast bacon, potatoes cooked
IN cream and some minor articles. The physi-
clans allowed them to be sent up, and the Pres
ident ate a hearty meal. He had roast beef,
baked potatoes, butter-Tolls and other dishes for
dinner. His meals had added to his strength
and the food has been fully assimilated. The
physicians were both surprised and gratifed at
the evidence furnished by his appetite, the
wholesome effect of the food, and of the solid
progress In the case. No better indication of his
rapid course toward resoyery could be given than
is presented by the bill of fare to day.
The wound is in the most satisfactory condition
and gives evidence that the healing process is
going on along the entire track of the ball. This
morning at the dressing of the wound, when the
President was turned on his side, q discharge of
pus followed the movements of breathing. An
examination proved that it came well from the

that this theory OF the course OF the ball

for the formation of an abscess are very much

siderable number from taking advantage of the
Captains hospitality. There we're, however,
some twenty courageous ones who did not fear TO
brave the fury of the elements. The moorings
were left about half past II O'Clock, and in going
down the harbor, before l~ull.speed was attained.
the measured mile was. ran in D minutes 7 sec
onds. The ship went through the Heads and
proceeded down the coast TO the southwark N
the teeth of a hard gale with a heavy head sea
to contend with. For about three miles Town
the coast the ship was kept within a few hundred
yards of the cliffs, then the helm was put to
starbOard, and a course seward made a circle
was described in which the wind was brought to
bear from every direction, and the ship made
splendid weather of it throughout. The Chief
Engineer reported to the Captain that with the
new propeller two revolutions more per minute
had been made than were recorded at the original
trial trip in Glasgow, and although no accurate
speed could be taken, Captain Chevalier ex-
pressed his opinion that the vessels average
speed would be increased by about half a knot
an hour, thus lessening the passage between
Sydney and San Francisco by fully a day. The
r. NJ. 3. d" Australia belonging to the same
owners, and also engaged in the Pacific trade. is
to be fitted with a similar screw on her next ar
rival in this port, about a fortnight hence. On
the :" Zealandia's y arrival once more at her
moorings, the visitors on board were invited by
the Captain into the saloon, wnere a sumptuous
luncheon was laid out. The trip outside had
given every one on board a good appetite, and
all were thus enabled to do full justice to the
excellent viands set before them. Captain Hick-
son proposed the health of Captain CheYalier,
who, in responding, said he was exceedingly
sorry that upon this trial trip it had been such
an unfavorable day as regarded the weather.
was very glad, indeed, to say that Mr..
Cruikshank (the Government lnspector) was
thoroughly pleased with the vessel, as there had
not been the slightest detriment to her hull or
machinery in any way whatever during her five
years service. With regard to the new pro-
he might say that the owners of the
Australia - and " Zealandia -" were not only
most anxious that the speed of their vessels
should be maintained, but also if possible it
should be increased, and they had accordingly
sent out these propeliors, which were of manga
nese bronze, and by the test that day, he really
they would turn out a success. They
had been tried in one of Donald Currie's vessels
to Cape Town, and had given half a knot
IN hour difference in the speed. The weather
hat day had not allowed them to make any fair
of speed, but he had no doubt the new pro-
Dellor would be as successful here as in the
south African trade. (Applause.) The visitors
we're then landed, after spending a thoroughly
three or four hours on board.-Sydney

Trial Trip of the R. M. S. "zealandia."

On February 9th. 1876, a revolution in steam
navigation between England and New South
Wales was accomplished by the arrival in Port
jackson of the Royal Mail Steamship 90 Zealan-
dia, - the largest steam vessel that had up to that
time entered our waters. She was built the
previous year by Mesers. John Elder & Co., of
Glasgow, specially for the trade between San
Francisco and Sydney, and from the moment of
her first arrival until the present date she has
always been a favorite with passengers. Her
passage from Plymouth to Melbourne was accom-
plished in the then unprecedented time of A.
days IA hours, and so lately as FIVE years ago
this, which Is now considered a rather longer
passage than ordinary, was regarded as one
which it would be difficult to surpass. Since the
first trip she made from this port up to now she
has never met with any accident. having in this
respect been the most fortunate ship of tie fleet.
Her appearance is too we'll known in Sydney to
need description but it may be stated that her
speed is very considerable, the average on her
voyages being about u knots, on a consumption
of from 33 to 35 tons of coal per day. The
- Zealandia - having been constantly engaged in
the trade for the last five years, it became neces-
sary in accordance with Lloyd's rules that she
should undergo a survey, and it is satisfactory to
know that Lloyd's Surveyor here has been fully
satisfied with her condition ; while Mr.. Cruik-
shank, the Government Surveyor, who has also
made a thorough examination, is also of opinion
that she is as goOdaDd strong now as on the day
she was launched. The owners of the e Zeal
andia have recently sent out a new propeller
screw, constructed OF manganese bronze, the pro-
portion of copper being oue-eighth per cent.
which it is anticipated will add materially to her
speed. The great strength OF this material. and
its perfect freedom from cOrrOsion, render It pos
sible to make the blades of the screw very much
thinner than those composed of other metals
and, IN addition, to this a perfectly smooth sur
for the blades is obtained, thus almost
doing away with the loss occasioned by
the friction Of the blades upon the water.
The new propeller was fitted on board at York
Dock lately, and yesterday the steamer left her
for a trip to try the effect. Captain
had invited a large number Of gentle
men TO be present on the occasion. The heavy,
gale that was blowing, and the rain
aqualls continually coming up, prevented a con-
