CATCHING AT STRAws.-The New York
Tribune is easily, when willingly, gulled.
Referring editorially to an incident in the
Guiteau trial it says "Guiteau remarked
at the opening of the proceedings that he
had received a check for 1000 from the
stalwarts OF New York and another of $500
from the stalwarts of Brooklyn. The pub
lie would like to see list of the men who
furnished this money. Are they expecting
to draw prizes in what Judge Edmunds
called the lottery of assassination ? Who
are these stalwarts who are 80 anxious to
save from punishment the most depraved
murderer of the age2" Any person of or
binary powers Of PERCEPTION was, on reading
this remark by the assassin in the report OF
the trial, prepared for the explanation subse-
quently made by Mr.. Scoville that the checks
were bogus and their transmission to Gui-
teau the work of some practical jokers. In
its poverty of resources and lack of decency
and principle, the Tribune eagerly seizes
upon any missile even such an unsound egg
as the above, by the nse of which it may
score point even temporarily.

WORLDS FAIR.-The latest proposition
for worlds fair comes from Baltimore
which proposes TO have big one some ten
or twelve years hence. The scheme has not
yet got so far as to involve the subscription of
money. When it comes to that it will prob
ably meet the same fate which has over
taken the ambitious plans of New York and
Boston. An exposition that seems more
likely to succeed is national or interna-
tional show of mining products and mining
machinery at Denver Colorado. A com
pany has already been formed in that city
to advance the scheme, and it is expected
that $4,000 sum which ought not to be
hard to raise-will be sufficient to give the
exposition successful send-off. The At
lanta cotton exposition, just closed, was
not successful in pecuniary point OF view,
although, taking into consideration the large
number of northern visitors it brought to
the city and the extensive advertising it
gave to the soil, products and people Of the
south, its stockholders are probably more
than content with their investment, The
gross receipts of the exposition are said to
have been about $4,000, and the expenses
S2l0,0OO. The sale of the temporary build
ings will, it is expected, reduce the deficit
10 about 100000.

Notes and Notions.

"GATH" quotes a senator as saying that
IL there be financial panic before the next
election man will be chosen president who
fsvors con6scating the railroads to the
people.
THE Boston Journal says; "That is an
excellent idea of Senator Edmunds to send
all persons having claims against the United
States to the same tribunal that settles dis
putes between private parties"
WE don't see that there is any particular
occasion to lament the failure of project
for Garfield hospital at Washington. II
was shrewd attempt to billet a local char
ity on the national sympathy for the victim
Of the assassin.
THE New York Sun has been making
itself ridiculous by its attacks upon ex-Presi-
dent Hayes, and it now caps the climax by
calling the late President Garfelds religion
"hypocrisy and cant and an insult to the
most sacred things"
SENATOR HoAR has succeeded in indu-
cling the senate to pass resolution for the
appointment of senate committee on the
rights and disabilities of woman. Susan b.
Anthony shouts, "hurrah," and the cheer
extends all along the line of battle.
A SPRINGFIELD Illinois, liberal demo-
cratic paper urges Secretary Lincoln "to
come home and keep quiet until 1884" To
that the Chicago Tribune responds aft
war democrats could control a national re-
publican convention, Mr.. Lincoln would be
almost certain OF nomination"
PosrMAsTER-G GENERAL HOWE has ordered
the dismissal of sl,i00 clerk whose occu-
patton has been during the past six months
the cutting from newspapers of articles and
paragraphs complimenting the late post
master-general He had commenced new
scrap book containing eulogistic notices of
his new chief but on showing it to Judge
Howe he was relieved of his duties and the
book was thrown into the fire.
Two territories are knocking at the door
of the Union for admission as states-New
Mexico and Dakota the former claiming a
population of $4,000, and the latter of
10000. At its admission Nebraska had
not over $4,000, and Colorado had probably
less. These territories, therefore, cannot be
denied an entrance on the ground of their
small population. Indeed, we know of no
good reason why they should be kept out of
the fold.
By the late census we have the crafty
ing information that the United States pro-
duces nearly all the hannels, blankets and
carpets we use, nine-tenths of the wooden
shawls, fancy cassimeres, suitings, coating
and hosiery we wear; two-thirds of the
worsted dress goods; four-ifths of all the
wool our country needs, and more than
four-ffths of all the wooden fabrics worn by
our people. Not one American in twenty
but is clad from head to foot, out and out
his coat, boots, hat, linen and hannels, his
watch, his knife, his pencil his gloves, his
iewelry-each and all are American pro-
ducts.

On Tuesday, in his powerful speech on
the law points, Judge Porter took occasion
to say Four days after he formed his de-
cision he gave Mr.. Garfield one last chance
and wanted to know whether he was or was
not to have the consulship at Paris. Blaine
had rejected his application with contempt
He demanded of the president the removal
of Mr.. Blaine, and added that if the presi-
dent refused it, you and your administra-
ton will come to grief He did his adj
ministration did not. The president died
the government lives. 1t is under the con-
troll of a president who will do illustrious
honor to the long line of presidents and
the man who murdered his predecessor is
brought to justice by him under the law, by
him and by his authority, and we demand
in behalf of the government that this assas-
sin shall not be spared under false pretences."
Going back to the doctrine laid down in the
McNaughton case, that the criminal intent
demanded in the indictment was only that
intent which the law presumes from the
atrocity of the act and from the circum-
stances of deliberation under which it was
committed, Judge Porter said "And that
is the antiquated doctrine which your honor
is asked to explode on the idea that we live
in an enlightened AEGEAN age enlightened
by Guteauism, an age in which we have
learned that a politician may sacrifice the
life of the head of the government in petty
pique, or to make interest with the presi-
dents successor, being so confident of the
gullibility and rascality of mankind as to
believe that men like Grant and Conkling
and Arthur would shield the criminal and
become accessories after the fact. The first
act of President Arthur was to see Justice
done to the memory of his predecessor and
the criminal who assassinated him. II either
Grant or Conkling or Arthur had been
standing at the door of the railroad depot,
and had seen this wretch aiming his pistol
at the presidents back, he would have felt
blow from an arm of iron which would
have paralyzed the assassin and saved the
president" This declaration was received
with applause throughout the courtroom

THE ARGUMENTs.-Judge Davidge COM
menced the opening argument to the jury
in the Guiteau case on Thursday, which he
drew to a conclusion on Friday. II was a
mastery analysis of the evidence, and a re-
morseless uncovering Of the mental, moral
and physical characteristics of the murderer
In the language of the attorney, the pris-
oner was shown "to he in religion hypo-
critic, at law pettifogger, in all things a
swindler, denizen of jails and depraved
and wicked wretch" The assassin con-
stantly interjected his abusive and blasphe-
nous interruptions. There were many i'm
pressive scenes as the advocate stripped
away defence after defence, and Guiteau
was placed before the jury in all his native
enormity. Mrs. Scoville, who was deeply af-
fected by the force of the argu ment against
her brother, gave way to tears and became
hysterical. On Saturday Mr.. Reed ad-
dressed the jury for the defence, and made
a lawyers effort to demonstrate the prison
er's insanity. lie reviewed the expert testi-
mony, adducing the case Of the murdered
president himself to show how unreliable
such testimony may be- These experts, he
argued, swear to an opinion, not to fact,
"for no one but the inscrutable Deity can
know what there is in the brain of man."
Mr.. Scoville followed Mr.. Reed for the de-
fence, but his argument developed no note
worthy features.
