GUITEAU.
Allowances for Witness Fees and
Expenses.
HIS INSANITY DISCUSSED BY TEE
MEDICAL RECORD.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 21--ln the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, criminal
term, Judge Cox rendered his decision this
morning upon the application of George SEQ
Vile counsel for Guiteau, for an order OF court
allowing fees and expenses of defendants wit
nesses. The Judge held that it was clearly in
the discretion of the court to allow expenses
for reasonable number of witnesses, the same
to be paid in the same manner as government
witnesses are paid, and stated that he would
decide in Chambers as to the number OF wit
nesses to be thus allowed. Upon the question
of assignment of counsel to assist in the de-
fence. Judge Cox stated that he would defer
the matter until after consulting with Mr.. SEQ
vile.
New York, Oct. 21.-The Medical Record,
which appears tomorrow, discussing editorial
ly the question of insanity, says: There are
unquestionably many strong reasons ior Pc
lieving Guiteau to be of unsound mind. Inc
frame of mind in which he conceived the pro-
iect of numbering the President does not seem
to have been one of malice. Even supposing,
however that some taints of insanity were up
on this man, it would yet remain to be proved
that he was not legally responsible for the
deed. 1t may be shown that the act was done
under kind of delusion; but this Will not be
enough. 1t must be further shown that the
delusion was such that Guiteau did not know
that he was doing wrong. We suspect that
this will not be an easy thing to demonstrate.
Though the assassin claims that this act was
for the party's GOOD, he has never shewn any
evidence that he did not understand its inn
morality and Nervousness. 1t appears quite
clear that the prisoners crime was the act of a
vicious nature, congenitally bad and cratic
perhaps, but made worse by acknowledgements
unchecked promptings of supreme egotism.
So far as their natural lnnrmlties go, s9ch men
deserve pity, but they cannot be considered If
responsible, and if society must protect itself
by taking life for life, it must in Justice
bring to account such miscreants as Guiteau. I"

THE WESTERN FLOODS.
Disastrous Overflow Near Quincy,
Ill.
FARMS INUNDATED sd MANY CAT
TILE DROWNED.

CHICAGO. Oct. 21-Despatches from Quincy
say that last night the river rose eighteen feet
above low water mark during the previous "a
hours This is the highest ever known at this
season of the year and eight inches higher
than the great flood of last spring Along the
Suy the destruction is almost complete. The
crevasse is thirty-six miles below Quincy and
three miles above SCOTS Landing being
nearly west of Rockfort. The break is 800
! feet wide and is cutting out the earthwork at
either end of the crevasse Immense volumes
of water are pouring through steadily spread
ing over the fields and farms The water is
approaching Rockport which is four miles
from the river. The people north and south Of
the break were hastily leaving for places of
safety. Every road out is crowded with
teams. A large amount of live stock was on
the embankment, the owners not having time
to get them to high ground. After the alarm
was given mauy animals were saved by SWIM
ming across the lake which now fills the low
lands, but large numbers were drowned the
distance being SO great. Farmers, many of
whom held hundreds of acres of winter wheat

Indian Grove levee gave way Wednesday af-

break is not very serious. Most of the water
is carried off by Bear creek. Railroads in this
vicinity will suffer severely. The Hannibal

lance and all trains are discontinued. Switch
men at Hannibal have quit work, refusing to
labor in the mud water which fills the yards.
Trains are discontinued ON the Quincy, Mis-

into the system of people and world. That
the Brook Farm Utopia failed was hardly the
fault of the thinkers and teachers who found

to effect the impossible, but for their "gener-
Gus effort their names are dear to us, and
none more so than that of the good man and
true scholarwho was their leader.
