the government paid her for appearing on
the witness-stand. He hints that Judge
Cox is likely to place Guteau in the

The council for the prosecution hay-
ing rested, DIR. Kempster took the stand
and Scoville resumed his cross-exam-
nation.
Upon the witness leaving the stand,
Corkhill announced that he had but one
more witness to introduce on the part
OF the government. He would like to
hear from Scoville as to how much time
he might want to consume in rebuttal,
that some idea might be had as to how
much longer this trial would continue.
Scoville replied that he had other
witnesses, and should ask the court to
have them sworn. He said it would
probably take another week to hear
their testimony.
Davidge objected to the re-opening of
the case. DIR. Gray was called and con-
tinued the story of his interview with
the prisoner. Adjourned.

THE question of what became of the
money carried south by the confeder-
ate officials when they left Richmond
is receiving a pretty thorough airing
General Joe Johnston was credited,
in an interview in the Philadelphia
Press, with sayiag that JEFF Davis had
failed to account for 100000 entrust-
ed to his care. Mr.. Davis, interviewed
at New Orleans, expressed the opinion
that Johnston never made such an as
sertion. Beauregard, Reagan aad 9TH
ers are keen to swear that there wasn't
that much money in the southern con-
federacy, and if there was Davis had
nothing todo with it. General Johns
ton explains that he was not accurately
reported, and never intended to be re-
ported at all.

The wife of Judge Swayne, of Ohio,
late Of the United States supreme court,
who died recently, was very remark
able woman. The Toledo Blade refers
to one act of her womanly life to Illus
trate this: She was the daughter of a
wealthy Virginian-the owner of Harp
ers Ferry-but upon her marriage she
manumitted the slaves that constituted
large part of her dowry; and thus
redering herself comparatively poor,
removed with her husband to free
state-Ohio-and began life anew. 1t
detracts nothing from the splendid sue
cess of her husband in life to say that
much of his good fortune was due to
her influence and intelligent assistance.
She was the kind of woman to make
even an ordinary man succeed.

THE press OF Chicago do the right
thing in reporting every case of small
pox and where it is located. There is
nothing gained by suppressing such
facts out of fear of alarming the peo-
pie of the country. When people are
properly vaccinated they need have
little fear of small pox. 1t has robbed
the disease of all its terrors. There is
abundant evidence to prove it is even
better protection than the disease it
self. A person can have the disease a
second time, but when properly vaccin-
ated, nothing but varioloid is to be
feared and that amounts to little or
nothing. To be fully apprised of the
danger is to arm sgainst it.

Henry Waterson's Opinion.
Letter to Courier-Journal

Accident, rather than curiosity, drew
me toward Judge Cox's court room,
where / spent the forenoon. The eff
feet upon my mind amounted to COM
plete reversion of opinion and feeling.

tragedy. had dismissed Guiteau from

lent wit. / sat close to him; could see
every glance of his eye, every phase of
his expression, the slightest detail of
poise and gesture. The man is an ex-
cellent actor. He has capital stage
grimace and laughter. declare there
were times when he actually captivated
me by his well-timed interpretations
and effective by-play. | came away
precisely as one who has witnessed a
stirring act in an eccentric drama,
wherein all the parts were well played.
Guiteau, to begin with, could not
have played better. OF course he over
did it, because the mimic world and
the real world cannot be made to har-
monte; but, as a mimic actor on real
stage, he certaidly cuts no mean figure,
and will go down to history as absolute
ly SUI generis-a sort of weird and wiz
zened apotheosis of dead-heatism. All
descriptions of his personal appearance
are at fault. He is simply brazenly
and shabbily and scantily genteel. His
voice, instead of being harsh and unna
tural, is both trained and taking; not
resonant, like the voice of Voorhees,;
not cultivated to the pitch of Wendell
Phillips, but homely, vulgar cross
between the two, with touch of Null
berry Sellers and a Renaissance of Rip
Van Wrinkle. He is no more crazy
than / am. He shot Garfield as the
last desperate venture of life of NOR
al obliquity and personal discontinue.
All the other parts in this startling
extravaganza are well impersonated.
Judge Cox certainly presides with dig
nifty, and, considering pros and cons,
cannot see how he could have avoided
this droll pageant. On the whole, |
think Corkhill leads the prosecution
exceedingly well, and has the case
thoroughly in hand He thinks he is
sure of verdict, and agree with him.
II is impossible for anybody to see this
exhibition and come away without be-
ing satisfied that, morally, legally, in
tellectualiy and sentimentally, Guiteau
deserves to be hanged, and will meet no
other fate.

Sixth Auditor Ella (for the postoffice
Department. has submitted his report
to the postmaster general, showing the
receipts and expenditures by states.
Those states showing an excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures and the
amount of the same are: Maine, $54,
642.71; Massachusetts, $919,091. sc;
Rhode Island, $129, 1862; Connect

1924, 1881; Wisconsin, $4S,701 80;
Alaska, $132,64, The states showing
an excess of expenditures and the
amount thereof are as follows: Yer
mont, $G02.40; Maryland, $29,0S4.9S;
Virginia, $320,309 So; West Virginia,
827, 928.77; North Carolina, $164, 44S.7S;
South Carolina, $77 ,461.57; Georgia,
$23S, 902.71; Florida, 1888, 1870; Ohio,
$500, 57602; Indiana, $40, 1860; Iowa,

ing, 1929, 0279 80; Montana, $780,

1876. This statement is most inter
esting. 1t will be seen that of the New
England states all save Vermont pay a
profit to the government, and she is
within $602.4 of paying her own ex-
penses. OF the Middle states all pay
large excuses into the treasury. OF
the Western states, Michigan, Illinois
and Wisconsin turn an excess into the
treasury, while of the territories
Alaska alone, of them all, yields rev.
enue to the government. The district
of Columbia $61, 18077 this year, as
compared with deficit of $44, 957 10
last year, shows an increase of &c.,
232.28.
The total receipts this year from all
sources by the post office department
are $36, 1856, 1897 81, as compared with
$50, S24, S46.02 of the previous year,
showing an excess this year over last

lures this year are $50 PSI, 1856, as
compared with $36,0S8, 220.31 of the
previous year, being an excess of 49,
1853, $685.. The saving this year over
last is therefore $798, 1873. The differ
anoa hatuaan aypandifi1reS and recpipts
this year shows that the post office de-
partment is within 50, ACC, 338.49 of be
ing on paying basis.
