The first and therefore the long ses-
sion OF the Forty Congress will
commence on Monday next, and viii
most probably last until June. 1t so hap
pens that although the Republicans
elected their candidate for the Presi-
dency year ago 10y merely nominal
majority, they failed to secure control
of the House, having elected only LAG
members, or Just one less than he re-
Qmsite number. We do not doubt. how
ever. that they viii be able 10 Organize

of the latter. Mr. Rand All, of this State,
who was Speaker during five years, will
no doubt receive the Democratic nomi-
nation, and the only regret is that he
cannot be put back in the position he
filed so ably and so creditabIy to him

TrDGE PETER G. SHANNON, who was
appointed Chief Justice of Dakota Ter
rit0ry eight years ago by Grant, and
~yaJse commission is about to expire, is
iuss new engaged in lively contest
over his reappointment. Shannon, who
il q native of Blairsville and is well
l.uown to many Of our citizens, was or
iznalIy a hard-shelled Democrat, read
IsF in the office of Henry d. Foster, in
Eraensburg. and located in Pittsburgh.
- .-e he served about q year as Judge
o. he Courts under appointment byGOv.
P;EIer in 1854. Several wears after
ugard he went to yanktOn, Dakota, aud
became Chief Justice, as stated, eight
-ears ago. The opposition to his reap
p-intment is based on several reasons af-
f-cting Shannon personally, and is led
br Il. F. Pettigrew. the delegate in Con-
geuSs from the Territory. The fight is
sad to be very bitter and the result
doubtful. Shannon has one big advan-
ts-e over his enemies in the fact that
h- was always Grant man, This, his
strong hold. is worth a ton of recon
re1dations, and if he calls on Grant for
assistance in his last hours of official eN-
is-snce, his appeal through him TO Mr..
Arthur cannot but be successful.

WIEN Grant was President in loFO
I'D the shen Attorney General, L. r.
H,ar. of Massachusetts,. resigned, the
-auntry was completely bewildered when
Grant appointed as Hoar's successor an
obscure and unknown lawyer from Geor-
s.a named Amos T. Akerman, who held
the Office something over a year and
.acn retired, 10 the great relief Of the
Supreme Court. He was a man that no
olasr imaginable President except Grant
valld ever have dreamed of appointing
0 such a high and responsible position.
+-7cral years ago Akerman died and
.ss decently buried in the State from
-,hlch Grant brought him to Washing
s.rs as one OF his Cabinet advisers. We
rl-ution these facts, not because they
ngz-ess any special interest just now,
bus simply because certain prominent pa,
ger- in this State are attributIng to Mr..
Arthur an intention of giving this de-
.unCt Attorney General place in his
u-r Cabinet when he announces it. Mr.
Arthur may possibly surprise the ccun
try but he cant resurrect AkermaR.

GTITEAU,S TRIAL.

Guiteau's appearance on the witness stand
has naturally brought the excitement In
Washington over the trial 10 Z boiling point,
and prndigiOuS is the rush to hear him. he
has more than fulfilled his promise tn appear
as counsel as well as witness and prisoner IN
this law case. From time 10 time he mas
been reported "a exhibiting indifference to
the trial but, for an Indifferent man, he has
taken q remarkably large share IN the Dro-
Gee iingS His present attitude Is the StrsnC-
est OF alias witness In his own defence,
which defence, as his counsel has announced
is that OF insanity.
During the whole Of yesterday : session OF
the court Guitean was on the stand rs p wit
ness for himself. He at first objected % tes-
Jifiying, saying he was not well, and did not
want TO undergo crUSs-eNsminatiOn just
now, but preferred 10 wait until he wRs in
good talking condition. After Mr ScOvilie
began TO question him about his early lie,
however, he appeared TO forget his fears Of
CTOss-examiuatiOn, aud described nlnuteiy,
and often graphically, the incidents Of his
unhappy career. His mother died when ne
was very young and his father opposed his
aspirations, objected to his getting an educs-
tiOn, and finally drove him into the Oneida
Community, where he fell under the inhu-
ence Of fanatical notions, but after two at
temptS broke away from them He studied

THINGS TO BE HAPPY OVER.

Told on DEATH -BED,--The Hanover
pa Herald saws: One Of the most start
ling disclosures which even the mortal an
glish of a dying criminal brought to light
has been made known in Ianeytown, by the
chnfession, on his death-bed, of Patrick Tul-
", a well known horse dealer in that sec
ton
About five years ago, at the Stone hotel in
TanevtOwn. a man was found lying before
the fireplace fSightfully burned, but with
little life still left, He was recognized a.
Henry Heiner. and it was supposed that in
an intoxicated condition he had lain before
the fire. that the flames had reached his
clothes, and before he could call for help he
was fatally injured The sad affair 0ecas-
ionpd considerable talk for few weeks and
then passed away, and the event was we'll
nigh forgotten.
Wednesday night, 10th, Patrick Tully, al
so living in TaneytOwn, was reported to be
in a dying condition; and when he learned
from his physicians that there was no hope
of his surviving. he sent for Rev. Mr. Long
a German Reformed minister. and told him
the whole wretched story about Heiner.
1t was to the effect that on the night of the
murder Tully and David Lieknat heard that
Heiner had become possessed OF n large sum
of money and they determined TO rob him.
After living in wait for him for some time in
vain, they went to the tavern, found every
thing closed, and saw Heiner sleeping near
the fire. In searching him for the money
they supposed he had but which they did
not find he awOke, whereupon they murder
ed him, and tried to avoid the discovery of
their crime by giving the man the appear
ance OF being burned to death they satura-
ted the clothes with kerosene and applied
the flame. Tully died soon after making the
confession. He was widely but not favor
ably known and was generally regarded as a
radically wicked man. The other party to
the murder, David Lieknat. died some time
ago a terrible death. Quite a ripple of ex
citement has been occasioned in TaneytowT
by the confession of Tully.

THE trial of the assassin Guiteau,
which has now been in progress before
Judge Cox in Washington little over
two weeks, has been broad farce on Ju-
dicial proceedings in criminal court,
instead of calm and orderly investiga-
ton of an atrocious and inexcusable
crime. This has been owing to the fact
that as a prisoner on trial for his life,
Charles J. Guiteau, take him all in all,
stands without parallel in the criminal
dock of this or any other country in his
conduct and in his ut,erances. His oc-
casional delivery of carefully prepared
addresses to the court, intended for the
public. his Impeachment of the veracity
of some of the witnesses, his frequent
insults to the counsel both for and
against him. hls side bar remarks, his
levity and attempts at with a word,
his conduct generally, while it may be
amusing and highly entertaining to the
spectators, is disgusting to the last de-
gree and only calculated to bring the ad-
ministration of justice by Judge Cox's
1 court into supreme contempt, Such Is
/ the view of the trial taken ty the coun-
/ try, and Judge Cox has to bear all the
blame for the unseemly proceedings.
But what can he do The only way to
silence Guiteau would be to put a gag
in his mouth, and the Judge has threat
ened him that he would resort to that al
tentative if he did not behave himself
a threat which the court, we presume
had no seriOns intention of executing. II
his address to the Court on Friday last
Guiteau said that III attempting to re
: move President Garfield he had only
done what the Republican newspaper
in New York and Washington saiC
ought to be done. and that they mus
share with him the Odium of the Presi
dents death. He insisted also that tn
Lord had inspired the act. which is
very convenient refuge for all scoundrel
of murderous proclivities like Guiteau
The only defense relied on by his cour
sci is his insanity, and as there are
large number of witnesses whose test
mony is relied on to establish this fac
to the satisfaction Of the jury, it is in
possible to predict when the curtain Wi
he rung down on Judge Cox's great an
unrivalled Washington show.

u it is true. as reported from Wash
;rryon. that the caucus choice Of the
Republicans for clerk of the House rests
ha. ween ex-CIerk Mcpherson. OF this
stare, and x-Congressman Rainey (col-
5rsI). of South Carolina, it is easy to
prsiiet the end of the contest, Two
years ago, when the Republicans
couldn't elect d Clerk because they were
a The minority, shey nominated Rainey,
for that position and voted for him as
5 sop to the colored Cerberus; but noW'
when they have the votes to elect him,
qe will stand about as much chance or
Ling nominated as Sitting Bull, the
zreat Sioux chief and yet the colored
57oops always fight brsvely for the Re-
