The most remarkable trial known
to our history q a government clos
ed with the verdict of the jury on
Wednesday of last week. Mr.. Por-
ter finished his argument against the
accused closing with these words:
. "The assassin who shot Garfield
knew that, against the law, he was
breaking with bloody hands into the
house Of life. He did not know that
over his grave, If grave he is to have,
will be written by mankind in dark
letters: The grave Of . coward, an
ingrate,a swindler and assassin The
n0toriety which he has sought is to
be found in that expression. He did
not know what We do; that even
though by . lingering death the
President did yield up his life, the
hand that aimed that pistol at his
life gave him glorious renown. At
the same time, IL l may be at liberty,
to borrow the illustration from At
torney General Brewster on the
occasion to which I referred to, the
dedication Of the monument of Alex.
ander Hamilton, in some respects
akin to this in its reminder, then
the assassin pointed the weapon at
the life Of the patriot, and though he
did not know 1t, he wrote the name
of James A. Garfield, in characters
Of living light upon the armament,
there to endure as radiant 40 If every
letter Wa traced in living STARS"
At 3:l5 Judge Cox delivered his
charge to the jury, which vas brief
and pointed, and the jury retired at
4:4O. Two secret ballots were ia
ken ; on the first ballot eleven were
for conviction - charged, and one
was blank. A second ballot result
ed in . unanimous verdict of
guilty Is charged in the indict-
ment."
1t seems that there was at no time
any real question in the minds of
the jury ss to the result. Guiteau
had hoped there was one man who
might waver on the ground Of In
sanity at the the time the deed was
committed, but his hope was vain.
1t is pretty generally believed now
that among the strongest elements
againts the theory of Guitea6's
counsel was the conduct of the pris.
oner himself during the trial.
The verdict meets with almost
universal approval. which will
doubtless ripen into reclamation
when It 10 known for . certainty
that the vile and cowsrdly assassin
has paid the penalty Of his crime by
the forfeit of his miserable earthly
existence upon the gallows.

So far as we can learn, the small
pox is not nearer to Columbus thar
Omaha and Lincoln, and of course
the authorities in both thoss plAce'
are very actively engaged In con

lodged over the stable adjoining the
gas works. He had been Ill nearly
week and had boarded ct the Ola.
ven house. A nnrss Was furnished

the stable.
A fourth case Of Q lodger ct the
Slaven house wss reported on the
18th, John Scott, who has been vac
cinated, and has Q mild attsck OF
varioloid.
The body Of Nelson. the original
smsllpox patient, wss buried On the
poor farm, and the house on Jackson
street duly disinfected.
There were at that date six cases
of smallpox or v~arioloid in the city.
The Daily Bee Of tho 24th report
ed . new case, the fourth since the
previous Sunday. This one was on
the corner of Jones and Sixth street,
the name Of the patent being Frsnk
| Aiken Of the Union Pacific shops.
The Bee Of that date remarked, "the
disease is spreading rapidly, and il
Q pest house 10 not soon provided
will soon reach alarming proper
tons"
Our main communication 10 with
Omaha, but Of course Columbus
might also be attacked on the Lin
coin side, and 90 we make . note Of
the situation there also.
The Journal of the 24th, says Of
Charles Rozier, che was reported .
little better the night previous. Dur
ing Sunday he was very bad, his
attending physicians thinking that
his time had come. Bot the change
for the better has taken place, and
they now have hopes of pushing
him through"
The first case was about Q mile
from the city, the family taking no
precautions whatever, and seeming.
ly regarding it with ss much indiff.
erence as an Indiana man would the
appearance of ague.
The Journal of last Friday Gays:
"The most wonderful example of
growth ever coming under our notice
Is the swelling of smallpox rumor.
1t is religiously believed in many
localities that there are from ten to
twenty-five cases of smallpox cases
in Lincoln, while the fact is there is
but one. Twenty-eight persons are
known to have been exposed to the |
infection from that case, and it may.
not be unreasonable to expect that
in some of those cases it will result
in the disease ; but up to this writing
there is but the one original case.
The duty of the hour is vaccination, |
and on no account should it be omit
ted. In the little town Of Ciarinds,
Iowa, new cases are developing at
the rate of twelve to fifteen per day,
according to rumor, bat it 10 proba-
bly, exaggerated"
3 We believe 1t due to our readers
that they should have the most accu-
rate information attainable of the
appearance and progress Of this
dreaded disease, especially ~ it
seems to be the "most fatal smallpox
epidemic that has appeared in Amer
lea within the memory Of this gsn-
Grafton, the proportion of deaths,
Notwithstanding vaccination, being
much greater than ever BEFORE"
Those of our citizens who have not
done 10 should b vaccinated
1t once, - this has proved to be the
method Of fighting the
disease. -
