FROM WASHINGTON.
Guiteau's Case...Flis BrOther.in.Law to
Conduct the Case on the Plea of Insaity.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 90. Col. Corkhill, L.
S. District Attorney, received this morning
from Attorney General Stockton of New Jer
sey, a communication, in which he says no
action will be taken in Guiteau's case by the
authorities of that State. This removes any
obstacle that might have been expected in
this direction, and the district attorney is
prepared to push the case rapidly. Probably
there will be about twenty-one witnesses for
the government when the case is brought to
trial. No answer has yet been received from
George Scoville, Guiteau's brother in-law,
who was requested by him to appear as his
counsel Guiteau stated this morning that
he had abandoned the idear of writing to
Hon. Emery Storrs, asking him to assist in
defence, and will now leave the entire dis
posal of his case in the hands of Scoville.
A dispatch has been received from Chicago,
which says that Scoville will appear for him
at the trial, and he does not think that it will
be tried soon, as great many witnesses are
to be called. The defence will be insanity.

Badly &ennebte Journal.
Augusta, Friday Morning, Sept. 30.
President Of the Senate.

The probability is that there will net be
much difficulty about the election Of Pres
ident ofthe Senate. Among senator's there
appears to be a disposition to settle the
matter in an amicable manner. a cor
respondent of the New York Times con-
troverts the prevailing opinion that when
the Senate chooses a President pro TEN.
the tenure OF the officer thus chosen
continues during the Presidential term Of
four years, or for 20 much Of il as is I'M
expired at the time President pro tenn.
is chosen. "This theory" he says, '.is at
variance with the practice of the Senate.
and is not only inconsistent with the
nature Of the office but with the purpose
of the trainers Of the Constitution in
creating it. The Senate was constituted
upon the model Of the, English House Of
Lords. the presiding officer OF which is
the Lord Chancellor. and who, like the
President Of the senate, is not member
Of the body. When the Lord Chancellor
is absent the House chooses a Speaker
pro tenn. and this selection is made every
morning during the absence Of the regu-
lar presiding officer, the same gentleman
usually being chosen. The very term
President pro TEN. means President for
the time being. and not President for q
future time. and in adopting this practice
the Senate has only followed that of its
prototype. As matter Of convenience
the Senate has not chosen a presiding Off
Ger each succeeding day during the absence
Of the Vice-President. 1t never surren-
dered. however, its right to do So but
on the contrary, quite recently declared
by formal vote that President pro TEN.
only holds his Office at the pleasure OF the
Senate"
If this theory be correct-anditse seems to
be well supported-therc appears to be no
necessity for an acrimonious contest over
this question at the extra session. Though
the democrats have the majority at the
opening Of the session and elect democrat
President pro tenn. he can be set aside for
a republican whenever the republicans
have majority Of the Senate.
