GUITEAU'S CONVICTION.
How the News Was Received in CIeve.
laud-Mrs. Garfield Refuses Any
Comments.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 26.
The news of Guiteau's conviction and the
manner in which the jury returned SO early
an answer, was received in Cleveland with
universal satisfaction, and when the result
was read from the stages of the Opera House
and the Academy of Music, the people be-
came so excited that they arose in their places
and cheered. Mrs. Garfield and the dead
Presidents aged mother were at home when
the first intimaiion came in thu shape of Il
dispatch from Capt. Henry, at Washington.
When a reporter called three hours later.
Mrs. Garfield was qsite composed. but said
she had nothing to say, in the line OF com
ment, for the public.
The Herald, one of whose editors called on
Mrs. Garfield after the receipt of the news
of the finding of the jury, says the widow and
the mother of the illustrious victim had an
ticipated no other result. They could not
bring themselves to believe that justice would
fail to overtake the vile reptile, whose in
famous deed had overwhelmed them with
grief, but they are women whose hearts are
too full of sorrow to have room Cor revenge
full feelings. and the news of the conviction
Of Guiteau comes to them rather as u vindi.
cation Of national justice, than as the aveng-
ing Of personal wrongs.
They do not see how the result of the trial
could have been different. They accept i,
~ foregone conclusion and as more impor-
tant to the public, who have other Presidents
TO guard and protect, than to themselves,
whose great stay and reliance was so remorse-
lessly taken from them. II is said Mrs. Gar.
field has read no report of the trial and ha:
kept the subject as much out of mind a.
possible.

Mr. Cox of New York, offered a resOlu-

Several bills were introduced and apprO-

Mr. Robinson, of New York. took the floor
and made radical speech in favor of the res
olution. in the course of which he said {:
Theodore of Abyssinia, had once taken it
into his head to arrest some Englishmen trav
cling in his territory. England interfered,
and by English force those prisoners were
released, the capital of Abyssinia laid in
ashes, and the king killed. He (Robinson)
did not ask for anything more in this case
than that America should do the same thing.
(Laughter). 1t was good precedent. If
we have, he continued, any respect for Amer
lean citizenship, if We have ears to hear their
groans above the tinkle of goblets of cham
payne, by which the representatives of our
government are deafened so that they cannot
hear. Then if our ears can hear them | ask
no more than that we follow the example of
England-send over troops enough to take
these men out of prison, and lay London in
ashes by our artillery. Admiral Porter is
idle, General Grant is out of the army and
wants to get back, Sherman is a pretty good
general. Let us send these men over with
enough force of American cannon to take
those prisoners out of the English bastiles.
Mr.. Robinson continued lat some length,
and was followed by Mr.. Cox in brief re-
marks.
Adjourned.

The verdict in the Guiteau trial will
meet with general approval. The trial
was one of the most remarkable that ever
occurred. The victim of the assassin was
not only the incumbent of the highest
Office in the United States, but a man
highly respected and beloved for his emf
nent abilities and pure personal character
The murderer is one of the most singular
compounds ofrnalignity, sharp intellec-
tuality. base passion, intense egotism
and littlcness of soul ever found
combined in person guilty of
so great crime. Spite and dis
appointment were his controlling
motives in shooting the President, and
with these were mingled without doubt
the hope of escape and even reward by a
change of administration. His conduct
during the trial is without IA precedent.
II did not help but injured his case. 1t
caused the blood of the people to boil
with more intense indignation. but now
that all is over it is seen that the course
pursued by Judge Cox was best. The as
sassin had IA fair trial, and there are none
who will say the verdict was not just.
