The long drawn out trial of the assas-
sin Guiteau came to an end somewhat
Unexpectedly on Wednesday of last week.
We give the details elsewhere. The YER
dict of equity as indicted" could hardly
have surprised any one who has followed
the case from day to day. There was, Of
course, no doubt as to guilt : but the pos
sible outcome Of the insanity plea on the
part of the defence, and the probability
of legal technicalites being raised to
shield the criminal from punishment, had
awakened apprehensions in the public
mind, now happily set at rest. For
Guiteau's own writings and confessions
before as well as during the trial, had
fully convinced the people of this coun-
try that he was morally responsible for
the crime, and there was naturally a de-
sire that he should pay the penalty the
law provides. AS the trial proceeded
the utterances of Guiteau, the counsel,
in behalf of Guiteau, the accused, clearly
demonstrated not only his sanity, but
that he was sharper witted and keener-
sighted than his brother counsel of the
defence. Indeed, brother law Scovile
appeared to be more of a crank than
Guiteau. Had the latter remained a
passive spectator, the jury might have
been less ready to return the verdict
they did-a verdict which has given the
utmost satisfaction everywhere, and a
verdict which will stand for all times as
justified by the law and the facts.
In the eye of the law the killing Of
President Garfield was no greater crime
than the killing of a private citizen, how
ever humble. OF this we have been re
minded often by rigid constructionists,
who thus sought to cheek fancicd
spirit of revenge. But the killing Of
President Garfield was Just as great a
crime as killing a private citizen: the
penalty is the same, and there is no rea-
son why it should be enforced in one case
and not in another: The assassin has had
all the rope he wanted during the trial,
and now the country has only to supply
the hangman's rope that is to put an end
to the existence of this ,'malignant, dia-
bolical, crafty calculating, -blooded
murderer" as Mr.. Porter, of the Govern
ment counsel, fttingly characterized him.

Mr.. Blaine's enemies are particularly
active and venomous just now. Why !?
1884 is only two years hence and the
attacks on the ex- Secretary are no
doubt made with the belief that he may
again be candidate for the Presidency.
Whether that is his intention we know
not, but this we do know, that when he
left the State Department he command
ed in larger degree than ever before the
respect, confidence and admiration of the
American people. Even those who had
formerly been among his detractors ap-
plauded his manly yet tender bearing

dent Garfield's long suffering and the
ability manifested in his official duties.

A large audience was in attendance last
evening at Granite Hall to witness the pro-
duc,;on of the celebrated play of Hazaei
Kirke. The rendering of the play was ex-
celleut and such as was to be expected from
the noted company who played it. They
brought with them their own beautiful and
elaborate scenery which added much to the
.ppesrance of the characters who sustained
the different parts. In short the different
par,s were presented in manner worthy OF
the MAY and of the Madison Square Theatre.
The fine music BY Pullen's orchestra was BY
NO means an unimportant feature in the en-
tertainment.
