JUDGE PORTER, of the counsel for the
prosecution in the Guiteau trial, in an
interview said that the verdict was pre-
cisely what he bad expected; that he
saw at noon, Wednesday, while he was
yet speaking, that all the jury were with
him, and that he concluded his speech as
soon thereafter as possible. Judge Por-
ter said that he had studied the jury for
weeks and he knew that there were sew
eral of them who were taken with Sco-
ville's ingenious defense. One by enc
these had been won over, and when the
last man shed tears, he concluded his
speech. 1t destroyed the symmetry of
his speech, but it won the verdict that
he sought. On being asked the meaning
of the verdict, Judge Porter said: at
puts an end to political assassination in
this country for all time to come. hope
so at least. Arthur's life would not have
been safe thirty days after the verdict
had it been otherwise"

THE New York Legislature, with 4
Democratic majority, has now been in
session over four weeks, but owing to
the "hair pulling" between tie Tamma-
ny and anti-Tammany factions Of the
Democracy, it is still in an unorganized
condition, and consequently no business
is being transacted. No especial dam
age would accrue if the same state of
chaos should continue, and no organiZa-
tion reached. If New York is like 9TH
er States, there are laws enough already.
