friend, / do not know whether you
appreciate it or not, but l am moved
to call your attention to the remarka-
bic letter from Mr.. Blaine, which I
have just noticed. According to Mr..
Farwall, of Chicago, Blaine is vim
dictive politician and an evil genius
and You Will have no peace till
you get rid Of him. This
letter shows Mr.. Blaine is a wrecked
man, and you ought to demand his
immediate resignation, otherwise you
and the Republican party viii come
to grief. I will soc you in the morn
irg, if I can, and talk with you.
Very respectfully,
CHARLES GUrTHAU.
This letter was the first indication
of his determination to be revenged
for fancied affronts It will be shown
that on Juae 16tb, 1881, among his
papers, he wrote the words, L con-
ceived the idea Of removing the
President four weeks ago" Once
resolved on the course it took but
little time for him to decide that he
must represent the action as being
the yindication of some great prin :
ciple. He knew that he must have
some screen in front of the real mo
tive.
Mt. Corkhill then went over the
circumstances of Gniteau's borrow
ing money for to purchase pistol E;
his target firing; and finally his
murder closing with an .arnest
appeal to the jury to see that the
great offender met with his just
punishment.
During the delivery of the address
a quiet reigned in every corner OF
the courtroom. Guiteau himself,
was the only man who seemed to
pay no attention to it. He spent his
time looking over the newspapers,
and occasionally conversing with his
brother.
AT the conclusion of the district
attorneys speech Secretary Blaine
was called for the prosecution and
examined relative to the shooting,
and after d.tailing the facts of the
shooting, he pointed out on dia-
gram of the Baltimore and Potamac
d~pot the spot where it occurred.
Hs was 'cross-examined by Mr.. SEQ
vile about the difficulty in the Re
publican par Y in the New York leg
islature aud the events connected
Herewith, with a view of showing
the feeling of bitterness in polite
and the bearing on the prisoner S
mind.
At the conclusion OF Secretary
Blaines testimony the court took a
recess.

Lutheran Conference,

The western conference of the Hvsngeli-
cal Lutheran Hoiston Synod held quito 4
pleasant, and no less important session at
Mosheim, Greene County, on the 11th and
18th of this month. In the opening ser
mon the president of the hody. Rev J. G.
sehaidt of Knoxville, defined the position
of the church on the subject of law vs..
love-
The most proninent subjects treated OF
were homo missions, supply of ministers,
and few studies" by members OF con-
ference on historical and doctrinal points.
In the matter of home missions al entirely
new departure was taken, the conference
officers taking matters in hand, instead of
the synod. This brings it nearer home,
and insrares greater interest and ne.
tivity concerning the scarcity of ministers
number of uncomfortable facts werc
brough: out, which need not be enlarged
upon here. The point is TO get the mem
bers to squarely face them.
The "studiss" were probably the most
Interesting aud profitable part of the pro-
ceedings. Three of these were presented
and discussed. Their subjects were taken
from the great reformation of the sixteenth
century. These studies are assigned si1
months in advance, and were well elabo-
rated in this case. Two Of them ars to be
printed.
Services were held during the meeting, al
which Revs. Houser, Cox and Miller
preached. Tho attendance exceeded ell
others previously held, just two-thirds of
the pastors being present, and over half OF
the congregations being represented by lay
delegates. 1t was pronounced by all presen,
| the most interesting meeting which the
conference has yet held.
The energy and activity of the secretary,
Rev. G. II. Cox, deserve special mention al
very materially contributing to the success
and interest of the occasion. The next
meeting is to be held at ths church at Knox.

Let Justice BE Done.

There appeared in the Tribune of yester.
day an article headed ''The Tardy Trains, y
which contained some statements very wide
of the mark, regarding truthfulness, and
which do great injustice to the railroad
managers.
In the first place, it is stated that the S
O'Clock train that evening was two hours late.
That far, it is true, but if the writer had
he could have given the cause of the delay.
The facts are these The train was held at
Chattanooga two hours and twenty-five
minutes, waiting On the Memphis and
Charleston train, and then, although their
schedule il very fast, they
made up time and came here
only two hours late. This was done by order
OF MAJ O'Brien, the general superintendent,
who was aboard the Memphis and Charles
ton train, which had thirteen through pas.
sengers, anxious to make the connec
ton.
As to the bread statement that =" no train
that comes into the city gets here at the ap-
pointed time" any one converssnt with the
facts knows that to be very wreck
less and unfounded assertion, but the
readers OF that paper have no means
of knowing when trains are due 1t is trus
that bad weather and unforeseen accidents
frequently throw trains ont of time, but
taken altogether as q general thing tho
company does get its trains through on good
time. They must of course run their road
for the accommodation of all-through as
well as local travel-and that some incon-
venience will ocsur occasionally is upavoida-
bic, but it is to the companp's interest, and
We believe it is their intention to do
the best they can for all concerned.
We would not for moment advance the
idea that the railroad officials should be
screened from just criticism. where it is de-
served, bat railroad company, as well as
any other corporation or individual, ia enti-
tied to justice, and it is best always to state
or writs the facts about anything.

A Speech by Senator Sherman.


CINCINNATI, O., November 16-
Hon. Jno. Sherman appeared on
Change to day and made brief ad-
dress, in which he alluded to the
dark days of the past, when be had
spoken to the Cincinn ii merchants,
aud he congratulated them That,
these We're past and that now no conn
try had brig ghter prospect than this,
being at peace, not only with the rest
of the world, but among ourselves
nearly all asperities which have divi-
ded the people have passed away.
Alter the reception given to General
Sherman at Atlanta J yesterday, surely
the Democrats and Repub icaus of
Clnclnn III, should have no cause TO
quarrel. He knew of no
political issue in Ohio
worthy of the name. The tai. IF
used TO be the cause Of difference,
but when D. w. Voorhees,, of Indi-
"a, and Jno. Sherman, Of Ohio,
stood side by side ON the subject
he thought Cincinnati politicians of
the different parties could do the
same. Continuing. he spoke of the
legislation Of interest to the business
community. Abiding to the law to
assist an honest creditor in pursuing
bis debtor, and to the law for the
dlrectlon Of commerce between the
States, which, he said, should be
framed with view to the interests
OF business men.
MIR. Sherman goes to Atlanta in
ihe n morning, IN company with Messrs.
Hichard Smith, Benz. Eggleston and
a few others of this city.

A SPECIAL to the Cincinnati Com
mercial says that Senators near to
the President say that Frelinghuy-
sen, despite all rumors to the con-
trary, is to be Secretary of State,
and that Lincoln is to continue to be
Secretary of War, but that no Cabi-
net appointments will be made until
Congress meets.
They state that the President has
dismissed the subject from his mind
for the iresent and is writing with
his own hand his first annual mes
sage. Of its contents no man, not
even his private secretary, knows
aught, though many shrewd guesses
respecting it are made.
