Under the above caption. the Record
Union handles the promotes Of the vir-
sinia population scheme without
gloves. thus presenting tho raro specta-
clio Of q Republican journal with sum.
cient honesty to boldly denounce an
infamous measure, though conceived
and incubated by its own political
party from eorrup: and merceEs.y mo-
tiver. That Journal pointedly observes:
"The Governor Of Virginia. in Is
annual MESA Ge, tells tho people that
Tie Riddleberger bill is the most hon.
est and equitable yet proposed and
recommends its immediate ADDITION.
What then must the other propositions
have been? But, in fact, what Governor
Cameron says is not true. The Riddle
berger bill is on the contrary the least
honest and equitable that has been
made. For II involves open rcpudia-
ton of one-third OF the present funded
debt Of Virginia ; il declares that tho
people of Virginia will never pay the
interest accruing on the public debt
during the whole period OF the war and
reconstruction amounting to Sl5, 1000.
00O); 1t scales the debt SIC, 0OO, 900 in
its provision for the issue of new bonds;
and finally it attempts to nullify the
decisions Of both tho State and the
United States Supreme Courts, by pro-
ylding that the coupons OF the new
bonds shall not be received for taxes.
In fine the Riddleberger bill is the
most rascally, impudent. shameless and
thoroughly d~isgraceful act OF knavery
that was ever proffered to a people for
their indosement. There is no defense
for it whatever. It is n double and
GItreble reputation. II is dishonesty
duplicated and intensified With deliber
ate purpose. But what AIDS tenfold to
the infamy is the fact that the author
and the supporters of the measure have
been picked out for special approval
and assistance by the representatives,
and leaders OF hat political party which
until now was supposed to stand for
the honor and good faith Of the country
in n peculiar way. 1t is in vain that
Governor Cameron attempts to sugar.
coat tho pill. No honeyed words can
render the Riddleger bill anything else
than q shame and discredit to all who
have anything to do with il, and n
stigma upon its defenders, which they
will find it impossible 4 eflce. even
should they desire to do SO never so
much"

The GuIteau TrIai.

Judge Cox yesterday occupied fifty
five minutes in reading that portion Of
his decision touching upon the question
OF jurisdiction. He reviewed the pro-
gress Of opinion and cited all import
ant rulings from the carly day of com
mon law in England and decided against
the prayer Of the defense. lie summed
up the question, "That jurisdiction is
complete, consequently this Court has
full cognizanco Of the offease."
He next took the question Of the legal
test Of insanity and decided hat a
knowledge and appreciation Of the diff
ference between right and wrong must
be taken as the correct test.
The only grain of comfort for the
prisoner was offered whom he reached
the question Of reasonable doubt.
Upon this subject he said, 81 shall
now charge tho jury to acquit, if they
find reasonable doubt as to any one ele.
ment. but I shall take into considcra-
ton and charge them relative to the
elements and that II, from all circum-
stances and evidence. they have Q
sonabie doubt OF the commission by the
defendant of the crime, as charged,
then they shall ncquit."
As Judge Cox finished speaking, Gull
teau called out, az am perfectly salts
fed with that exposition of the law"

to keep away. as he did not want to
have any trouble with him. Bradley
palled Smith out Of a chair and hit him
twice, knocking him down and kicking
at him. Smith then drew his pistol
and shot Bradley through the lower
