The Case Of GuiteaU.

Judge Lawrence, the first controller of the
Treasury, in his letter to District Attorney Cork
kill mentioned in yesterdays STAR, in relation to
the application of Mr.. ScOville for order for the
payment of witnesses, summoned in the case
of Guiteau, for the defence, reviews the
whole law bearing on the case and says Judge
Cox's opinion on the subject granting the
motion Is fully sustained by the laws. He closes:
''The marshal will be allowed in the settlement OF
his accounts, vouchers showing payments of the
fees and costs of the witnesses In pursuance OF
by the court"
ORDER OF THE COURT.
To-day the following order was passed in the
Criminal Court in relation to the case of Guiteau:
On application OF the defendant in this case, and
cause being shown to the satisfaction of the court
it is hereby ordered that twenty witnesses be SUBJ
pOnaed in behalf OF the defendant to attend the
trial OF this case, and to be designated by counsel
for the defendant the fees and costs OF service to
be paid as like fees and services are paid on behalf
OF the government according to the statute I'm such
out prejudice to the right OF the defendant to ask
for further order for an additional number OF
witnesses should it be necessary to do SO in the
Mr.. Scoville had issued summons this morning
to some ten or twelve witnesses for the defence
who reside elsewhere.
THE DECISION OF CONTROLLER LAWRENCE.
District Attorney Corkhin holds that the court
has no right to summon witnesses outside of one
hundred miles and pay their expenses in the trial
| of Guiteau. Judge Cox has rendered decision
Inat the court Is duVIoFHeu 10 Senu IOr witnesses
and pay their expenses and fees outside the one
hundred miles jurisdiction Judge Lawrence first
controller OF the Treasury, yesterday afternoon
made decision, the purport Of which was misun-
derStOOd by The STAR reporter, who was told of it
before the decision was made. Judge Lawrence
holds with Judge Cox that the court can summon
witnesses outside OF one hundred miles, and that
the accounts for their expenses must be allowed
by the accounting officers when duly presented by
the United States marshal. The law OF one hun
dred miles jurisdiction did not apply to the Dis
trct OF Columbia, and has not, as is held by Dis
trfct Attorney Corkhll, been changed by more re-
cent statutes, Judge Lawrence holds.

indictments by the Grand Jury.

At IL o'clock the grand jury came into
the Criminal Court and presented the bust
ness which they had accomplished for the
consideration of the court. A number of
lrescntmcnts were made against John Iitz
and others, directors OF the German National
Bank, and the District Attorney read pc
tition signed by G. NJ. Wright and others,
praying for relief. The conclusion of the
petition says: at will thus be seen that
neglect of duty on the part of the directors,
as well as criminal operations on the part of
the president and cashier of the bank, caused
the disaster. 1t is evident, from the facts in
connection with this bank, that the national
banking act is imperfect, and should be
amended so as to relieve the Government of
the stigma of fostering banking institutions
which are alike corrupt and unsafe The
following are the indictments: John Hitz
and Charles L. Prcntiss, in making false en-
tries, (thirtcen indictments) misapplying
funds, eleven indictmcnts); Charles Il.
Prcntiss, perjury two indictments) John
Hitz and Charles +. Prentiss, cmbczzlcmcnt,
abstraction, and misappropriation of funds,
two indictmcnts); Richard Basey, cmbcz-
element; John Murphy, murder; Albert
Brooks, forgery; Charles ID. Gilmore libel;
Eliza Adams, receiving stolen property |;
Lucy Clearly larceny; james Temple, re-
ceiving stolen property; Henry Holiness as
saulting an officer Immediately after the
rendering of their business the grand jury
was complmcntcd for its efficiency both by
the District Attorney and Judge Cox, and it
was discharged for the term.

The AIexondria shooting.

After we went to press last evening the
case of Edmund Burke, commonwealth at
torney for the county of Alexandria, ar
rested for shooting Lewis Il. Payne, of this
city, was brought before Justices Thompson
and Ballenger The defendant acknowl-
edged the shooting waived an examination
and was committed to Jail for trial in the
July term of the corporation court. writ
of habcas corpus was at once sued out and
granted Judge Chiffon releasing the pris-
Oner in $500 bail. General Lindsey Lomax,
of this city, gave bonds in $500 for Mr..
Payne that he would keep the peace for six
months.
The locality where the shooting took
place has been frequently the scene of sew
eral street duellos. The best known oc-
CURED several years ago between DR.. Mad
dox, now of Baltimore, and Mr.. Dixon, the
father of young Dixon, whom Barksdalc
killed about year ago. 1t was the result
of an old fcud. Dixon was q desperate
man and threatened to shoot Maddox on
sight. The latter met him on Cameron
street and killed him. he was acquitted.

GENERAL LONGSTREET.
Views Of the Distinguished Soldier
On Matters and Things GENERALLY.

Good morning, General said CRITIC
reporter 60 Gen. James Longstrect, the dis
tinguishcd Confederate officer. Can speak
with you momcntY"
The General pleasantly remarked, "Are
you a CRTrIC MANI"
The reporter blushingly acknowledged
that he had the distinguished honor of be-
ing an attachc of the brightest afternoon
paper in the country.
fWell," said the warrior, 81 don't believe
care to be interviewed. Besides, | have
been talked TO for the past three days by
newspaper men, and | think | ought TO
have a short respite now"
THE Carrie put on his blandest smile and
asked: "What do you think of Mr. Jeflcr-
son Davis structures upon Gen. Joe John
stons course in the late warp
~ have not read Mr. Davis book, said
Gen. Lorgstrcct, "but have seen extracts
published in some of the leading papers in
which Gen. Johnston is severely handled by
Mr.. Davis think the attack is wholly
uncalled for. Gen. Hood, after he assumed
command of Jomistons forces carried out
Mr.. Davis plans and made failure. That in
itself is sufficient evidence in my mind that
Gen. Johnstou's plans were the more prac-
teal. However," continued the General,
"at that period of the war everybody recog-
nized the fact that we were leading forlom
hope" Gen. Longstreet was pressed further
on this point, but refused to say any more
on the subject.
Upon being asked by the reporter ifthere
was any truth in the report that he pro-
posed to organize an independent party in
Georgia, something OH the Malone move
ment, said: 'Therc is not the slightest
foundation for that statement. | am not a
follower of Gen. Malone. He is u Demo-
craft | am n Republican | am fourteen
years ahead of Malone, and am firmly fixed
in my Republican principles. At this late
day do not intend to jump the track and
ally myself with a quasidemocratic organ
ization. If l believed Gen. Malone to be
in the right should support him in his new
movement. | have not us yet studied the
Readjuster question, but if, as is alleged by
some, Mahone's party proposes to repudiatc
a portion Of the State debt then am OPP
posed to him and his party"
Gen Longstrcet will leave for Georgia to-
morrow. He will enter upon the duties of
his new oiiice-marshal of Gcorgia-the LIST
of July.
