PRESIDENT ARTHUR TO
CONGRESS.

The first message of President Ar
thur was naturally looked for with inter-
est. Coming to his high Office in the un-
expected manner he did, all desired to
see what he would have to say to
Congress on its assembling. And it
must be admitted he has given clear
and business like statement of the af-
fairs of the Nation, both foreign and at
home.
He opens his message very properly
by an allusion to the death of his pre-
decessor, President Garfield, as follows:
"An appalling calamity has befallen
the American people since their chosen
representatives last met in the halls
where you are assembled. We might
else recall with unalloyed content the
rare prosperity with which throughout
>. the year tie nation has been blessed.
Its harvests have been plenteous (; its
varied industries have thriven the
health of its people has been preserv-
ed; it has maintained with foreign
governments undisturbed relations of
amity and peace. For these manifes-
tations of His favor we owe to Him
who holds our destiny in His hands
the tribute of our grateful devotion.
To that mysterious exercise of His
will which has taken from US the loved
and illustrious citizen who was out
lately the head of the nation we bow
in sorrow and submission The men,
ory of his exalted character, of his
noble achievements, and of his patriot
ic life will be treasured forever as a
sacred possession of the whole people.
The announcement of his death drew
from foreign governments and peoples
tributes of sympathy and sorrow, which
history will record US signal tokens of
the kinship of nations and tie fedora
tions of mankind"
He then speaks of the relations of
our country to the various nations of
the world, making particular mention
Of the good will existing with that of
Great Britain. All the public ques-
tions of home interest that have, dur
ing the past year, or that may in the
future effect this country, are discussed
in candid manner We will endeav-
or hereafter to give such parts of these
as will be of most interest to our read
ers, and for the present will confne
our remarks to what he has to say on
question that perhaps concerns the
peace and stability of our government
more than any other The recent ex-
perience of the past should urge its
early attention upon Congress. Any
uncertainty as to the mode of declaring
the result of our Presidential elections,
or as to the succession to that Office
under any emergency, are not pleasant
ideas The President closes his mes
sage with reference to them as follows:
"The Importance of timely Legislation
with respect to the ascertainment and
declaration of the vote for Presidential
Electors was sharply called to the at
tention of the people more than four
years ago 1t is to be hoped that some
wcll-defned measure may be devised
before another National election, which
will render unnecessary resort to
any expedient of temporary character

The New York Tribune.

The enormous circulation attained
by the New York Tribune attests its
remarkable popularity. 1t stands to-
day in the very front rank of American
newspapers. This position has been
won, in the teeth of the sharpest news
paper rivalry, by its enterprise in its
news department, by the able and bril-
liant character of its editorials, aud by
its unwavering devotion to Republican
principles. It's prospectus for 1882,

then read a chapter from his book
Truth, which set forth the trials and
teachings from st. Paul, celebrating
and explaining as he read. That's
my case exactly said Guiteau. That's
just the way | tried to preach the
gospel
Shortly afterwards the prisoner be-
came involved in an angry alteration
with Mr. Scoville, in the course of
which be became very violent and de-
nounced him as no politician and no
lawyer. You insinuated yourself upon
the defense. just because you happened
to be my brother-in-law,' said Guiteau.
Judge Porter undertook to address
the court, when Guiteau shouted i'm
periously, Now you just keep quiet,
Mr.. Judge Porter You are altogeth-
er too talkative this morning
Mr. Scoville stated he desired to
have President Arthur testify In the
case.
Guiteau (interrupting)-Yes, and
Grant aud Conkling and the rest of
nv political friends Scovill here takes
too narrow view of this case.
Mr.. Scoville, continuing, said he had
made every effort to secure the Presi-
dents attendance, but without success.
1t was absolutely essential to obtain
his testimony.
After some discussion the counsel
for the prosecution agreed to allow Mr.
Scoville to prepare inteTogatories to
be submitted to the President and to
allow his evidence in this form to be
put in later. Mr.. Scoville stated that
with this exception the defense had
concluded.
Guiteau (exeitedly)-I want that
order signed, Judge.
Judge Cox-I fail to see the neces-
sity for summoning the witnesses you
have named, and shall refuse the order,
Mr.. Prisoner.
Guiteau-Then / note an exception.
Reporter, put that dcwn.
Mr.. Scoville then produced Guiteau's
book, Truth, which had been put in
evidence, but not yet read to the jury.
Guiteau-Scoville, you read like a
school boy. You don't put any spirit
into it. Let me read.
Guiteau then began reading. He
apologized to the audience by way OF
preface by saying, Ladies and gentle
men, | have not had any practice for
so long that my voice may be little
husky. / will however, do the best
can hope you will give your atten-
ton. You will find some very inter
esting reading
| Confusion ensued in the rear of the
court room, which greatly annoyed
Guiteau. and he appealed petulantly
to Judge Cox, saying, Il must have
order in this room or l cannot be
heard Then turning partly round to
the audience, IF any one wants to GO
out, ::et them go, but must keep order,
ladies and gentlemen
Thirty minutes were occupied In
reading, when the hour of recess ar
rived Counsel for prosecution object
ed to the reading of the entire book
and after some discussion it was arrang'
ed that Mr.. Scoville should mark such
passages as he intends TO rely upon Oh
touch upon in his argument and sub
NIT the book to prosecution tomorrow
With the understanding and agreement
between counsel relative to the evi
dencs of President Arthur, Mr.. SEQ
Vile announced the close OF the de
fense.
At the request of Col. Corkhill the
court adjourned till tomorrow, when
the prosecution will introduce theil
evidence in rebuttal.

Col. JOHN W. FoRNEY died at his
residence in Philadelphia on last Fri
day morning, 9th inst, in the 65th
year of his age. Col. ForDey was dis
tinguished as a brilliant writer and
few men have had a more varied ex-
perience in the politics of this Nation
for the last forty years than he. From
a very influential Democrat he became
one of the founders of the Republican
party. He established and edited sew
eral journals, among them the Phlla-
delphia Press, now perhaps the lead
ing Republican paper in the State. He
was for many years clerk of the U. 3.
House of Congress and afterwards
clerk Of the U. S. Senate. AT one
time he exercised as much political in
fuence as perhaps any man in the
country. His latest venture was the
Progress, a journal always rich in
political literature. He will be re-
membered as writer of rare elegance
and ability. AS friend he was ar
dent and warm hearted. Much might
be written and said in admiration and
praise of John w. Forney. But few
men attached to themselves friends as
he did and many will long remember
him, not only for his genius and talent
as writer and author, but for his
many admirable social qualities. One
of Pennsylvania's gifted sons is de
parted and not few will feel like pay.

We have on our table copy OF the
Omaha Bees annual review, illustrated
for 1881. containing thirty four elegant
views Of the principal business houses
manufactures, public works, educational

not only Il most artistic page, but at the
same time giving Il very e'car under
standing of the importance, wealth and
taste, Of Omaha as a city. 1t far sur
passes anything else Of the kind We have
seen.
The Onlha Bee has since its initial
number been noted for its enterprise
and energy, and has probably done
more to make known to the world the
advantages of the city, than all the
other omaha Journals combined Its
columns are always found 10 b.. full Of
general news Of interest to the western
reader, especially V. For lS;l they offer
especial inducements To subscribers for
the Weekly Bee. The payment of the
mod"iatc subscription price Ot 500, not
only gives one of the very best and moss,

entities the subscriber TO a premium OF
value. out of list comprising $4,000
worth of articles. fall particulars of
which may be had in a sample copy,
which will he sent free to any one APP
