Ing the decision Of Justice Bradley
adverse to the point OF Jurisdiction raised
by alr. Reed, tho latter still insists That II
he could carry bis case before full bench
Of tho Supreme Court, It would hold that
the Criminal Court had no Jurisdiction 10
try the life Of his client Gui,eau
himself docs not seen, to be
particularly disconnected by tho decision
and apparently Is as firm as ever in his
inspiration theory. He clings to the hope
OF executive clemency. OF course there
is no expectation nor foundation for the
belief that the President will grant either
respite or commutation, excepting the
slender iact that he is in receipt OF quite
u number Of letters from various
leading medical mon throughout the coun.
try protesting against the ussassin's exccu.
ton on the ground Of his insanity. Upon
this species Of extra judicial evidence it is
not at all likely, however. that Mr.. Arthur
will assume to set aside the proceedings OF
the Criminal Court and the Court in Banc
and the Judgement Of the Supreme Court
Justice. q
Applications continue to come in~for
tickets Of admission to the execution from
MI parts Of the country. Guiteau would
die rich man II permitted to put them on
sale. One member Of the press offers FIVE
hundred dollars to be given to the fund OF
any charitable institution that may be
named for single ticket. An
other man out West, whose en-
thusiasm in the cause is possibly getting
away with his better judgment or regard
for the truth, writes that he could sell n
thousand tickets Mt thousand dollars
apiece. One thing is certain, any quantity
OF tickets could be sold right here in Wash.
ington, and no doubt in many other places
from one hundred to five hundred dollars
each. This shows that the popular feeling
against Guitcan has undergone 10 change,
but is still as intensified as ever.
There are numerous weighiy reasons
why the President will not interfere in the
matter, even il so disposed.
DR.. Rush, OF Chicago, Secretary OF the Ma.
tioual Distillers' Association. who has been
before the Window Committee, was
asked whether he considered Guitean
sane. His reply was, III shonld place this
man Just over the line il were d.
rlding the men who should not be allowed
to perpctuate their kind, and that he
should so with the crowd that were in
sane. While, in many respects, hc seems
to have full powers on the question Of kill
ing the President, to my mind he is GER
tuinly as irresponsible as the most abjeGt
idiot in the ordinary affairs OF lie" DR..
Rush is = physician Of excellent record,
but his immediate opportunities Tor analy-
zing Gnilesn's mental condition have been
limited.
Some OF your West Virginia Republic
cans hereabouts seem to think your cor
respondent is booming Wilson too much.
1t is not his intention to boom anybody,
but your C0ngressmen are certainly en-
titled to credit ior whatever they do in be-
half OF the State, and it would be difficult
to find anything in the Washington
correspondence 10 the ISrELLlGExcEn con-
ceruing Wilson or his colleagues which
is not legitimate and proper news. Give
Col. Ben. a fair chance. lie will need all
the capital he can make in this Congress to
secure his reelection to the next, or even
to get denomination; and even then he
isnot sure Of either. In fact, the general
expression Of Republican opinion here
is that the district can be car
ried next fall against Wilson, Good
or any other Democrat, by n decisive ma.
jority, though it may take some hard work
to doit. So far rs Mr.. Kenna is concerned
he appears to feel no uneasiness as to the
outlook in his case. AS the district must
have q Democrat to represent it,
1t would perhaps be dillicult TO
find one more acceptable than
he. And speaking OF kenna, il should
have been stated that through his efforts
the Taygart river survey, up to the Three
Forks OF Buckhannon, was finally agreed

Of &C to so.

Senator lIoar referring to his bill relative
to the presidential succession, says it is
substantially the bill that was brought for.
ward during George Washington's first nd.
minis,ration, which failed because OF
jealousy as to precedence between two
Cabinet officers Of whom Mr.. Jefferson
was one. The quarrel was whether the
Secretary OF State or Secretary Of War
should have precedence in the succession.
