GUITEAU'S TRIAL.

Judge Lawrence, First Comptroller Of
the Treasury, who took square look at
Guiteau from the Judges bench, says OF
the prisoners head:
1t is almost flat on top from forehead 10

from the nape OF the neck. This it un-
derstand anything of prcnologv, indicates
sanity, self:conceit, the latter strongly de-
vcloped. have not, he adds "studied the
evidece submitted in the case, but it shows
Guiteau to have had distinct idea ofthe
| enormitv OF his crime then it will appear
that the only motive for 1t was that he felt
| ayyricvrd over his treatment in the matter
OF the Paris consulate. His sef.toncei:
| was hurt, and he wanted revenge; and this
should not be considered insanity.
1t is the opinion Of one Of the Govern
ment experts that the putting Of Guiteau on
the witness stand was tire first serious mis-
take Scoville had made. ut is,' said the
gentleman, ':rapidlv clearing my mind OF
troubles as to the prisoners responsibility
1t presents altogether new phase OF the
case. The cross examination has been SO

been pressed earnestly upon this point Tor
some moments the prisoner answered sui.

During all these months one part Of his de-

THE Campbell Cannon case which is ex'

with Polygamy, is arranged as follows by
a Washington special: Mr.. Mcpherson,

bring up the question who is entitled prima
tacia, to the seat, Campbell, who has the
Governors certificate, or Cannon, who has
been placed on the rolls by the clerk? The
precedent WAS established in the Forty
Second Congress, when Cannon himself
had the certificate, and his right to be sworn
in, was challenged by George r. MAXWELL
his contestant. Cox aud Potter of New
York, and Hoar, of Massachusetts,, May

as Cannon had the certificate of election

EASTERN Journalists are waking up to
the urgent needs Of the Mormon question
The Chicago Inter Oceam has the follow
ing appeal to Congress in behalf OF this and
neighboring Territories:
"rhe quiet but persistent work OF the
Mormon missionaries planting their colo
ui,s upon the best Territory Of the regions
beyond Utah should not escape the atten'
ton OF statesmen or the public. They
openly boast that they can control the bal
lots Of three Of the Territories now. The
crime Of polygamy enlarges with each day
The coming congress can take effective ac
ton on no subject which will meet with
more unqualified approval than this. No'
should it be any half-wa, measure; pol'g
amy i crime, and should be suppressed
There is no reason why Mormon, STEPPED
In crime that would consign him to the
penitentiarv Of any State in the Union
shuold hold seat in Congress and make
laws tor honest citizens. The time has
arrived to ob.iterate polygamy, and lcgis
lators who are too cowardly to do It should
be invited to the rear. Legislators do not &c
much in advance OF the expressed public
sentiment, and this public sentiment ha'
quietly allowed Utah Territory to be dis
graced. VIII it he quiet and allow Ari
zona, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming te
suffer a like fatcs Unless Government in
.crferes, they will share the fate OF Utah
The cry that Mormonis,n will die out, Of
is diving out, is a delusion. The devil ane
lis work has thus far in history proved 1
lively corpse"
