If the report in our dispatches
yesterday, concerning the discovery
of arsenic in large quantity, in the
bouquet which Mrs. Scoville desired
to present to her brother, the assas-
sin, be true, 1T ought to very effectus
ally dispose of the insanity dodge.
Insane men are not apt to attempt to
cheat the gallows by suicide, and it
is not unlikely that, with all the vigil
lence of the jailor and his subordi>
mates, that there was an understand
ing between brother and sister. 1t
will be remembered that Guiteau
never gave up that he would be
hanged until the last. and that Mrs.
Scoville was unduly anxious that he
should have that bouquet. If he
was Goods man, as he insisted he
was, he would not have deliberately
conspired with his sister to take his
own life. From beginning to end,
this has been strange case, but if
the report OF arsenic in the bouquet
is correct one, it throws a food of
light on the acts of the assassin.

Egypt's Fighting Resources.

London Letter to the New York Times.
There are points of view, no doubt,
from which the Egyptian imbroglio
has to be considered that are not
within the general ken. For example,
it is said that in the spring of this
year an officer of the British Intelli-
gence Department surveyed Egypt
on military grounds. He brought
home maps of the country and full
particulars of the fighting resources
of Arab Pasha, including estimates
of his arms, ammunition, and canal
torpedoes. Mr.. Gladstone has there
fore been well informed as to the work
before him in case of hostiities and
it may be at the moment when every
body thinks he should have taken
the Egyptian army by its several
threats he used wise discretion in
remaining inactive. During the
present week it is pretty certain
that the contingency of forced
British occupation has been discuss
Ell in the Cabinet, and that Mr. John
Bright, who disagrees with fighting,
except with the tongue and the pen,
has threatened to resign, Neither
certain leading Liberals nor the men
below the gang-way would be very
sorry if he acted on his threat. He
has never proved himself clever at
administration or craftsmanship in
office. His place is that of a great
outside leader and opposition de-

JUDGE HoUK and his special advo
Gates will attempt to laugh off the
fact of his absence from his post of
duty more than sixssevenths of the
time during the last session of the
Forty sixth Congress. They dare
not deny that he was absent from
his seat one hundred and twelve
times out of one hundred and twenty
seven roll calls. And they have
not offered an excuse that
will satisfy any intelligent man. 1t
is true the Judge himself accounts
for part of his absence on the
ground that be was at Nashville
during the senatorial election. He
was there about four weeks. For
two weeks he was too drunk to know
what he was doing, and the remain
der of the time he was in consulta-
ton with those who desired Mr.. May
nard's defeat for the senate. 1t will
not do to offer such an excuse for his
absenteeism. There are too many
persons who know what his condi-

The bombardment of Alexandria by
the English feet, and the evacuation
of the city by the Egyptian troops,
followed by it's confagration, is one
of exciting events of the day. The
population of Alexandra is more
than two hundred thousand souls,
and the suffering that has followed
the affair is greater than can be des-
cribed. War is terrible even when
conducted between civilized and en-
lightenedpeople but when it comes to
turning over a large and populous
city like Alexandria to the tender
mercies of Bedouin barbarians, it is
horrible in the extreme Our dis
patches this morning give but faint
conception of the atrocities practiced
in that city, especially upon Europe
ans and Christians who were so un-
fortunate as to be found within it's
limits at this time.
Arab Bey, the leader of the re
volt, is evidently reckless man. with
good deal of pluck, and fair fol-
lowing. While it cannot be expected
that he will make stand and fair
fight against his antagonists, he will
retreat into the interior, where the
skill of his Bedonin heroism will be
used to advantage, and he will prove
very troublesome 1t will cost Eng
land no little money and the loss OF
many lives to conquer him.
