As hitherto. so again, we must go

savage horde in which there is no
supremacy beyond that of the man
whose strength, or courage, or cum

first step is to the practice of election

GIlTEAU'S TRIAL.

Movements tor Il Vigorous Defense by the
Assassins Lawyers.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Son the opening
of the criminal court this morning, Gui-
teams counsel made a motion for delivery
to the property clerk of the District certain
papers, &c, belonging to the prisoner
letters written by Guiteau at the time or
near tic time Of his arrest; newspaper
scraps, letters found in the possession of
Byron Andrews, and other cOmmunica
tions from the prisoner.
The district attorney objected. The
court said he would examine the statutes,
but he thought counsel for the defense
should have access to the papers.
An application was also made for
further pOstponement of trial, which the
court said it would consider.
Mr.. Robinson also said he had been
misrcprescntcd in the papers as saying
that he agreed with ScOville on the ques-
ton of jurisdiction. He had simply
stated that he was not to be considered as
committed on question which he had
not examined He did not consider HIM

vile ut any time Oh any branch OF the
defense from availing himself at the time
of the trial OF any defense that might
seem 20 him proper, and that it might be
in his power to make.
The court and district attorney replied
that that was perfectly understood.

THE STAR ROUTE CASES.
efenso Began To-day,

Argument for the Defense Began To-day
WASHINGTON. Nov. S.-Argument
the motion to set aside the criminal info
nation in the star route cases was begun
this morning in the supreme court OF the
District. The government was represented
by District Attorney COrkhill and by
Messrs. Brewster. Of Philadelphia. Bliss,
of New York, and Cook, of Washington ;
and the defense by Messrs. Totten, Will
son, Shellabarger, Robert G. IngersOll.
Sypher, ex-representative from Louisiana,
and Jefferson Chandler, of St. Louis.
Argument was opened by J. Wilson.
He said there could be no authority found
in any statute for filing criminal infor-
nation. The Ignoring Of grand jury
had always been regarded as an extra
ordinary remedy in England and ex.
cept in the case of that monument
of wrong and oppression, the court OF
Star Chamber, was regarded and treated
with disfavor by the courts. 1t had been
odious in the land of its origin. For SO
years of national life in this country there
had not been a single instance Of an at
tempt to resort to that pro-
ceeding in the prosecution of
great crime. At common law
the attorney general representing the
crown, might file an information in the
court Of Kings Bench at his own discre-
tion, On his own responsibility. No oath
was necessary for such all information and
no witness; no ono would pretend that
such proceeding as that could prevail in
this country. The fourth article of the
amendment OF constitution had made Il a.
impossible.
