of relatives or friends slain on hotly
contested battle fields Of the Repub-
lie. 1t was a danger that thoughtful
men had anticipated it was calam-
ity that patriots had feared, and when
it came, with all its dread conse-
quences, it was accepted as one of the
results of the then disordered and
discordant condition of public affairs.
But we had passed from the arena
of war. The sword had been beaten
into the plowshare, and the spear into
the pruning hook. The country was
united; peace reigned at home and
abroad. There were no local dissen-
sions. There were no intense stfifes.
Seed time and harvest had come and
gone; the battle fields, redeemed from
scars and havoc and their bloody con-
tests, were blossoming with fruits and
with peaceful labor.
The argument was delivered by
Colonel CorAhill in very effective
manner, tears filling the eyes of many in
the audience, but the countenance Of
the prisoner remained unchanged.
Toward the close Of the argument he
laid his newspaper aside and leaned
back in his chair, covering his eyes
with his hand, evidently endeavoring
to conceal the emotion which he
undoubtedly felt. He then drew a
package Of manuscript from lis pocket,
and commenced writing in a hurried
and nervous manner. The prisoner
shook his head in approval or disap-
proval of the statements made in the
argument by Colonel Corkhill. At
one time he interrupted the District
Attorney, which action was called to
the attention Of the court by Judge
Porter, one OF the counsel ior pr0secu-
ton.
Judge Car announced that it was
within the power of the court to try
the case in the absence of the prison
er, and if he persisted in his tur-
bulent remarks he would cause him
to be removed. Guiteau, in
response said, Il will not
do SO again, Your Honor, but l have
very deep feelings in this case /"
Laughter.
Mrs. Scoville, sister Of the prisoner.
cried bitterly during the delivery OF
the argument and herlittle child could
be seen appealing in an afectionate
manner with Mamma, Mamma, what
is the matter?"

GEN. SHERMAN must have felt THAT
he was 10 an odd situation at Atlanta
the other day. He had returned to
the city he shelled out and burned
seventeen years ago In place of fright
ened women and children, old men,
sick, wounded and dead soldiers in the
midst of blackened ruins and all the
evidences of devastating war, he found
fourishing city full of life and ac-
tivity, With fine hotels, stately blocks
Of business houses, wide streets and
sidewalks teeming with happy people,
all intent on business or pleasure.
Had he been taken there bliudlalded,
and not told where he was, he
might have gone around for hours
without recognizing the place. Save
few landmarks there is nothing left of
the old Atlanta. A complete trans
formation has taken place. The old
soldier of either side who goes back
now, for the first time since the war
sees little to recall that period. Gen.
Sherman's idea was that war was a
terrible business. That it meant
death and destruction while it lasted, /,
and it cannot be denied that he car
ried out his theory with sufficient
vigor. Coming back to the scene of
his battles, marches aud counter
marches and flank movements, he
must have been surprised to find such
recuperation and adaptation to
the hard results of war-such
prosperous, go-ahead people. 1t
is due to him to say that in his
little speech he for once refraine1
from making any disagreeable allu-
sions. He did not say anything about
Rebels as such, or go aside to say that
he was opposed to any but Union
soldiers having pensions. Sherman;
day as it was called on the 18th hap.
pened to fall on Mexican Veterans
Day, and another coincidence noticed
it was the seventeenth anniver
sary Of the burning of Atlanta
least it is so announced, although our
recollection is that it was burned
earlier. Be that as it may, the pres
ence of the great marcher in citizen
dress at the meeting of the Mexicani
created feeling of lively interest, auC
when the multitude insisted OF
speech, the old warrior
got up, and, it is said, il
a ten minutes speech, made more
friends than a dozen years, lapse ol
time could give him. 1t is an encour
aging sign when such stubborn mar
as Sherman is compelled to admit tn,
logic Of events, and to see somethin,
good aud promising in the mucl
abused South. If he goes back auC
talks as moderately to Northern audi
ences his visit will not have been with
out good results. We will be ready t,
see him again.

Mr.. P. D. Carney sustained a heavy
loss by. the burning Of the gin house on
his place, six miles north of town,
yesterday evening, together with four
teen bales Of cotton and bagging and
ties for his entire crop. The gin
house was new, baving been built
since the crops were laid by.
The entire loss falls upon Mr.. Carney
as there was no insurance. The fire
was accidental but just how it oc-
Cured is not known.
Since the above was in type we learn
from Mr.. Carney that a negro boy
named Fed Coe was burned up in the
gin house. He jumped into the lint
room, where the fire originated, Il
pack down the Gotten, and the fir,
occurring just at the time he could no
possibly escape.

A FULL jury having been obtained
in the Guiteau case, the trial will now
proceed. The only defense rests upon
the plea Of insanity. His egotism is
SO intense that he is not willing to be
passed off as a common idiot, and he is
making frantic efforts to impress upon
the public mind the fact that he is
a kind Of superior and inspired luna
tic who ought to have an office. He
may be cranky, and some Of his rela.
tions may have been insane, but
there is a method in his madness
which denotes a criminal Of the
deepest dye and the enemy Of mankind.
We kill snake or an uncaged hyena
on the streets to protect our wives
and children and ourselves, without
stopping to inquire whether the snake
or the hyena was of sound mind and
instinct or not. The same rule is not
applied to our own species on account
of humane feeling. Yet society is
bound to protect itself. Nothing
has come out to demonstrate, or sug-
gest that Guiteau is too much de-
ranged to be capable of crime This
would be a violent presumption
altogether contrary to the accepted
notions Of human accountability. The
ways Of the law are so tortuous that
even guilty man, universally ad-
judged guilty, and confessing it him
self, may escape punishment for
great while or altogether. Fifty
million Of people find Guiteau guilty
of heinous murder committed
months ago, Yet the trial is barely
commenced and he will in all proba-
billy be condemned. to no greater penal
ty than Imprisonment for life. He is as
vicious as he is vain and to these quail
tiles adds tho further crime Of pre-
tended piety. The trial seems very
much like a farce, in one sense, yet it
may serve to illustrate the innate and
supreme respect the American people
have for the forms sugposedto hedge
in the body and essence Of law.
