cannot doubt the result of tn appeal to
Congress for special legislation. Four ex-

fnl examination of my case, have Joined in
my vindicatiou. Public men Of all parties,
lawyers and jnrists of national fame, the
prees with large accord, historians, European
aud national; distine uished military author
tiles at home and abroad, including the late
general of our armies, who, after giving
months to the careful investigation Of my
case, generously and justly revoked his pre-
viously-expressed opinions, and concurs in
prononncing me wholly innocent; and finally,
my comrades in aTms, who have ever been
my uDfailiDg defenders, found their judg-
ment, faith and fidelity rewarded by the de-
cision Of the board of officers, whose mill
t ry knowledge and personal character have
never been Questioned, and who, after the
most careful deliberaiiop, have reported
that my conduct was obedient subordinate,
faithful and iudicious. 1t saved the Union
army from disaster on the 29ih Of August,
1862. Surely l may safely appeal to the
Congress of my country for the justice so
long deferred, conscious that there is no act
of my military life but what was performed
for the honor, integrity and union of our
country, and especially in the events of Au-
gnst, 1S62-that, as the advisory board de-
clarcd-my conduct was not subject to criti-
eism, much less deserving of censure or con-

LONDON. - The Standard saws:
% The announcement of the Guiteau
verdict will be received with a sense
Of relief by the public, which has been
wesried by the monstrous PR traction
of the proceedings and disguised and
scandalized by the OUTRAGEOUS incl
dents which marked them at every
turn. American jurists and politi-
clans may be taught from this case the
necessity Of Roasting the forms of pro-
cedure in criminal matters"
The Daily Telegraph says: "Gui-
tesu's horrid jests, ribaldry and irrev-
erence toward the majesty Of Justice
were but clutchings at forlorn hope. No
suspicion that Guiteau was insane dis
turbed the minds of the Judge and
jury, and he is not entitled to the
benefit Of any such doubt. The con-
duct of the trial casts deep reproach
upon judicial procedure in America.
The story of Guiteau's horrible wicked
ness will live forever. His memory
will be branded like that of Cain.n
The Morning Post says: "Guiteau's
guilt was so undeniable that his long
trial has been followed here with posi-
tive pain. We hnpe Mr.. Scoville will
not so far forget what is due TO justice
and his profession as to repeat the dis
graceful lecturing exploit which he
once performed in behalf OF Guiteau."
The Daiy News says: "Day after
day the world has looked on with dis
gust and amusement at a spectacle for
which it will be impossible to find a
parallel In the history of criminal
cases. There could be no more benefi-
cial or enduring monument to the
memory of Garfield than the >Goption
of a reform which would do mrch to
stop the growth of the class of which
Guiteau is a conspicuous example"
The Times says: THE administra-
ton of justice in America Las been
brought into grave disrepute. The
trial has been a kind of play enacted
for general amusement. That Guiteau
deserves hanging none can doubt.
That the nation has q right to hang
him who has turned the sufferings
of bis victim into food for q sensation
his crime into a jest, and the trial into
a prolonged farce, is, perhaps, entirely
self-evident."
