that river; and to add two more members
to the committee. 1t is generally under
stood the new members will be appointed

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-As soon as court
was opened Guiteau took his place in the
dock and did not repeat his request to be
allowed to sit at the counsels table. Sco-
vile said he wished to introduce new evi-
dence in regard to the critic matter Cork
hill objected and Judge Cox Immediately
began and read from manuscript his deci-
sion upon the matter, and reading f1om
various authorities bearing upon the case.
Judge Cox discussed at some length the
circumstances attending the finding of the
newspaper, in the room of the bailiffs Of
writing, there are several circumstances that
make it impossible that at least two names
upon the margin of the paper were written
by the gentlemen themselves
Second.-f as suggested this paper was
lying on the table in the bailiffs room, and
gentlemen of the jury in writing in album
first tried their pens upon the margin, it
would amount to nothing in face of the
sworn af1davits of every member of the
jury that they did not see or read q paper

swear to the fact that jurors did
write upon the paper while they all
swear they did not and there is no reason
to doubt their veracity. From all papers
presented, Judge Cox summed up '1 am

ception to the ruling of the court
Col. Corkhi1l-'sYour Honor, it new be-

Scoville-s~One moment, please, would
like to file in due form the motion which I

Scoville then fled his motion in arrest of
judgement. Guiteau, who had been per-
mitted to resume his seat at the counsel
table, called out, ''f your honor please,
desirs to ask if there is any motion that I |
ought to make to reverse my rights.
Scoville tried to prevent his speaking, but
he retorted, fWen don't want any advan
tage taken of me. I want to know how
much time I shall have to prepare my ap-
peal to the court in Banc."

HOUSE.

The House went into Committee of the
Whole on the private calendar The first
bill was that by Mr.. Kelly, releasing the
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Com
pany from tax assessed on wages of certIf-
Gates heretofore issued by the company.
The bill was defended by Messrs. Hewitt,
of New York, and Dunnell of Minnesota
Mr.. Springerl of Illinois, opposed the bill
and argued that it was vicious class of
legislation, and that Congress should pass
nal to which all claims against the Gov
ernment be referred. He commended the
action Of New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois
and other States in prohibiting all special
and private legislation, and he hoped that
during the present session Congress would
put seal of condemnation on the vicious
and outrageous system of special and class
legislation The bill was for the benefit
of stockholders of railroads, and as VIM.
FL. Vanderbilt owned majority of the
stock, the bill was ready for the relief of
Vanderbilt, very poor but honest citizen
of New York Laughter.1
Mr.. Dunnell, of Minnesota, said the al
lusion to Vanderbilt was unworthy of the
gentleman from Illinois.
The bill, after further discussion, was
reported back aunfavorbly and laid on the
table.
