An InsOlent Minister.

NEW YORK, June PA Wash
ington special says: Diplomatic cir
cles here are gossiping over the inso-
lent letter which Martinez, the Chill
an Minister, wrote to Frelinghuysen
some ten days since, just before he
delivered his letters of recall and i'm
troduced his successor Goday.
Martinez has been imprudent en-
ough to boast OF the way in which he
had disciplined Frelinghuysen, and
thus far there is no rnmor Of any an
swer from the State Department
1t is hoped that Freiinghuysen will
at least send copy of the letter to
Congress as one more contribution to
the Chill Peru correspondence.
The tone of the letter is of the
character usually addressed to the
United States, but no one can tell
what to expect to detect in foreign
policy permeated with the spirit Of
entire meekness and humility.

in which he desires that his body be
gwen to DIR. Hicks, but on no account
to be used for any mercenary pur-
pose. He also gives to DR.. Hicks
his book and other papers to be used
in writing his biography. Reed also
drew up the following paper, at Cult
eau's request, which was presented to
W arden Crocker:
WASHINGTON, June 29.-General

We, Frances NJ. Scoville and John
W. Guiteau, sister and brother, and
only heirs Of Charles j. Guiteau, to
DC executed Oh the Both day Of June,

you to deliver the body Of the said

JOHN GUITEAU.
Witness: CHARLES H. REED,
a. 4. CHEvALLIER,
J. w. w. GoppING.
Guiteau thanked Reed for his eff
forts in his behalf, and, becoming
greatly excited, he exclaimed; Gas for
President Arthur, he is "A coward and
an migrate, and he will be punished
hereafter" Reed started to go, when
Guiteau said: "Wait one moment.
| wish to say something more" He
then sat down at the table, and in
firm, bold hand wrote the following,
and handed it to Reed, who came
from the cell deeply affected by the
interview:
To my dear friend, Chas. A. Reed:
l am only too glad to express to you
my unbonnded appreciation of your
services in my behalf You did
splendidly. May God reward you
for it. Meet me in Heaven.
Signed: CHAs. j. GUIrEAu.
DR.. Hicks remained about fifteen
minutes longer with the prisoner,
but was unable to turn his thoughts
away from the consideration of his
immediate surroundings. When he
retired from the cell Mrs. Scoyille
and her little daughter and John w.
Guitcau were admitted. Their in
tcryiew with the prisoner lasted Is
minutes, the Warden and Deputy
being present. Guitcau was at first
much excited and roundly abused
the President and those wretches, as
he termed them, who had bounded
him to the scattold. "And you, too"
he cried out, pointing his finger at
General Croker and the deputy.
"You will be both sent to hellr' In
few minutes he Gained down, said
he was ready to die, and wanted to
be hung at IL o'clock sharp. At
parting he said: ''Let me kiss nv
sister through grated bars, and let
it 50 60 on record" After kissing
his sister and little niece he turned
to his brother, and, handing him a
dime, said: "Here is. the ten cents
due the washerwoman. guess you
had better settle that balance to-
day"
Mrs. Scovillc and her brother John
then took leave of him, and passing
directly to their carriage were taken
back to the city.
Guiteau is now, at 4 O'Clock D. m..

THE appeals Of Irish tenants for relief
from the cruel exactions of landlordism,
have commenced to exert an influence
among the people Of Wales, who have
always been loyal to the British Govern
ment. a reduction of rent is demanded
by the tenants in Cardiganshire, and
circulars printed in the Welsh language
are being distributed throughout the
shire, or county, in which the following
advice is given to the tenants: E'You
tenants, groaning under heavy burdens
ask your landlord or his agents to re-
duce your rents. If a refusal is made,
give notice to quit, and if others take
your farms we will proclaim it through
the country, and not give the new ten
ants quietness uutil they leave the
farms" This language is easily under
stood, and if the movement it represents
once takes a fOothold, leader will be-
come a necessity, aWelsh Davitt or Par
nell will appearIto fight the battle of
the oppressed tenants against the land
lords, to be followed in the end by the
passage of a Welsh coercion act by Par
lament, which would be something
new under the sun. This, however, is
a wonderful age.

GEN. JACOB D.. Cox, of Ohio, who
filled the office of Secretary of the Inte-
rior during portion of Grants first
term, read a paper one day last week be-
fore the eX-aTmy and navy society of
Cincinnati in opposition to any steps be-
ing taken either by the President or
Congress for the relief of Fitz John Por-
ter This is very contemplate bust
ness for Cox to be engaged in. He is a
lawyer of good repute. suppose he was
counsel for a man indicted for larceny
that his client was convicted on cir
cumStantial evidence and sentenced to
the penitentiary for term of years
that after having served out one-half Of
his term, Cox, his attorney, would dis
cover evidence clear and undoubted of
his innocence-that with this evidence
he went before the Governor of Ohio
and asked that his client should be re-
leased from pTisOn--wouldn't he think
it rough piece of business if the Gov
ernor refused to interfere ? This is sub
stantially FitZ John Porter's case as re-
ported on by Generals SchofielG, Terry
and Getty, who were as much prejudiced
against Porter when they entered upon
the thorough investigation they made
of his case as Cox is even now in the
face of their report. They said in that
report that instead of Porter acting the
part of traitor at tie second battle of
Bull Run, in 1862, he had really saved
Pope's army from much worse defeat
than it actually suffered. Their report
convinced Grant of Porters's innocence,
and he said so in letter to the Presi-
dent. but COx's unbelief would not like
ly be removed by anything short of
revelation from heaven.
